For one, it has Siva Karthikeyan and Nayanthara pairing up for the first time and the star cast also includes the Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil making his debut in the Tamil film industry. During a promo event in Kerala, Siva Karthikeyan heaped praises on his co-stars Fahadh Faasil and Nayanthara which proves that he thoroughly enjoyed working with them. Siva Karthikeyan, speaking at the event, said that he bonded well with Fahadh on the sets. During a press meet held there recently, Sivakarthikeyan said, “I have learnt a lot, especially from brother Fahadh Faasil. You all would have seen his work in Malayalam, but his role in Velaikkaran is something that he hasn’t done before. Initially, I wondered how I would measure up to him, but Raja had written the characters and the scenes so beautifully that I feel I have done justice to the role.” On his lead pair Nayanthara, Siva said that she has evolved as an actor through these years and aspiring young woman actors should take her up as the role model. He lauded her for taking women-centric films to a new level. Velaikkaran, written and directed by Mohan Raja, is bankrolled by Rd Raja under his banner 24Am Studios. The film’s technical crew includes Anirudh Ravichander for music, Ramji for cinematography and Ruben and Vivek Harshan for editing.

Doesn't it seem like the best characters on TV right now are non-fictional?

Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really the worst Indiana Jones movie out there? We dive into the beloved franchise to see and make the argument that Temple of Doom is as bad—or worse—than Crystal Skull is.

Ever since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls came out 7 years ago, it’s gotten the (much deserved) reputation as an absolute atrocity and a desecration to the reputation of a much-loved franchise. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls has been commonly divorced from the original trilogy as a separate and inferior entity. Most fans lump the earlier trio into one group, praising them all as masterpieces, unlike the disastrous 2008 sequel. However, that may not be the whole truth. The second film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was also a mess of a film with plenty of flaws, silly scenes, tonal problems, rip-off moments and bad characters.

Tiger Shroff who will be seen making his debut in Sajid Nadiadwala’s film Heropanti visited Varanasi on the 11th May 2014 at 5am for Ganga Pranaam at the Tulsi Ghat. He was keen on visiting Varanasi because he is also an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and Varanasi is also called Shiv Ki Nagri.

Tiger is a fitness freak and has an exercise regime that he follows very diligently each day. So he conducted his exercises and paid his obeisance to River Ganga at sunrise. Later on Tiger made his way to visit the very famous temple Kashi Vishwanath.

Oscars buzz boosts UK box office and whether growling on a plane or voicing an animation, it's Liam Neeson's moment

• Review of The Lego Movie

• Review of Non-Stop

• More on the UK box office

The winner

Adding another £4.79m in the past seven days, The Lego Movie now stands at a sturdy £26.67m after three weeks of play. That puts it level with the lifetime tallies of blockbusters including Spider-Man 2 (£26.72m) and Ocean's Eleven (£26.47m), and ahead of fellow animations including Ratatouille (£24.80m) and Wall-e (£22.91m). The Lego Movie will pretty soon overtake the likes of Shrek (£29m) and A Bug's Life (£29.45m) and is clearly headed into the mid-30s (£m).

Although box office for The Lego Movie is certainly skewed to the weekend, its decent performance in the Monday-to-Thursday period suggests that it is picking up a true adult audience, rather than merely adult chaperones of children.

Venkat Prabhu is little disappointed with his ‘Goa’ not doing well at box office. This time, he isn’t over the motto of spending lavish money as none of the producers agreed to sign deal with him. Thanks to producer Siva as he seems to have reciprocated for his previous hit ‘Saroja’ that fetched big collections at box office.

Yuvan Shankar Raja scores music to the film and as you all know rest of the technicians list is same as in his previous films. Precisely, we can very easily predict the shot narration with dozens of yesteryear songs used in backdrop with big-bulky face of...

The CW hyped this episode of 90210 like it would be an hour of fun-filled, Ocean's 11-style revenge against Jen. Instead, Dixon, Liam, Teddy and Ivy simply lured Naomi into a room and ensured that she overheard her sister's sex confession.

It really wasn't that incredible of a plan; far from it, in fact. Somewhere, Danny Ocean is shaking his head in disappointment.

The revelation that Jen slept with Liam does have interesting, long-lasting ramifications, at least. Read our full recap of "And Away They Go" now and see what we mean below...

Naomi and Annie: Friends again? We actually prefer these two as enemies, but Annie has been on her own (and stuck in an increasingly boring relationship) for far too long now. It will be nice to see her back in the main fold.

Liam: A wanted man? We're not exactly sure...

"What does it take for a woman in the film industry to work with her dignity intact?" asks the anguished actress Neetu Chandra who last month was allegedly, brutally abused and manhandled by Telugu director Rajshekhar and his producer-wife Jivitha Rajshekhar. And now Neetu has hired the services of a Mumbai lawyer Jamshed Mistry to fight for what she thinks is her right to work with dignity. She has sent strongly-worded letters of complaint to Women's Rights and Human Rights commission and is all set to meet the Commissioner of Police in Hyderabad to apprise him of this situation and of her further, legal, actions. Neetu says she's suing the director and his wife for "Threatening to kill...mental torture, physically (sic) hitting and abusing, defamation, harming my work..."
