Ncuti Gatwa has revealed one of his biggest regrets from his time as the Fifteenth Doctor on Doctor Who. When Doctor Who returned in 2023 following the 60th anniversary specials, it seemed like the start of a new era: Disney's co-production gave the show a previously unheard-of budget, and Ncuti Gatwa's casting was undeniably historic, injecting the show with a fresh, frenetic energy.

With former showrunner Russell T. Davies back at the helm, there was nothing the new Doctor seemingly couldn't accomplish, except, as it turns out, fight Doctor Who's most iconic villains. During an interview on the UK program The One Show (via RadioTimes.com), Gatwa revealed his biggest regret about his two-season stint as the Doctor:

"I never got to fight a Dalek. A Dalek or a Cyberman. I mean, just the crux of Doctor Who. So, might do that! Might go fight a Dalek!"

What Gatwa's Comments...

Subhash K Jha revisits and celebrates Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani , which starred Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, along with Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, Aamir Bashir, and Kshitee Jog in a new installment of This Day That Year. We also hear from Karan Johar about the making of the film and his feelings about the love Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani it received when it released in 2023.

Wait! Did we see an upsurge in the number of men joining Kathak classes after Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani ? Among the many things that writers Sumit Roy, Shashank Khaitan and Ishita Moitra tells us in this kaleidoscopic view of life on Malamaal Hill, is that it’s okay for men to adopt traditionally female roles.

And listen, if you like Kathak dancing it doesn’t mean you are effeminate or gay.

Continuing to shine the spotlight on the esteemed actress, Subhash K Jha revists Preity Zinta’s five finest films.

1. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006):

Sometimes, you hold a film close to your heart, not because the characters embrace you but because they do so for the opposite reason. The four protagonists who colonise Karan Johar’s marital romance are so distanced from their spouses and their dormant desires that you wonder why they got married! Or, why do any two people decide to opt for what many would say is an obsolete institution in the first place!! Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna (Kank) is indeed a definite sign of Karan Johar’s maturation as an artiste and a filmmaker. This is a film that derives its inspiration energy from Karan’s favourite filmmaker Yash Chopra’s interesting but abortive Silsila. Even more interesting is the casting… the role of the unfaithful...

When Aamir Khan Broke Silence On Pay Disparity In Bollywood! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Gone are the days when only male actors played meaty roles. Deepika Padukone has marked her debut as Lady Singham in Singham Again. Alia Bhatt is also all set to play the first female spy of the Yrf universe. But remember when Aamir Khan explained why female stars get paid less and silenced Rani Mukerji as well as Kareena Kapoor Khan? Scroll below for the scoop!

Leading ladies of Bollywood, including Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Anushka Sharma, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, are said to be charging 15 crores+ for a movie. However, if we talk about the male, superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have moved to the profit-sharing model. Others like Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor are taking home 25 crores+ in remuneration for one project. The gap is still considerable between both genders.

Last year, Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment announced Don 3, featuring Ranveer Singh in the titular role.

Rani Mukerji is often called the Queen of Bollywood and has a career spanning over two decades. During that tenure, she has given iconic performances in films like Black, Chalte Chalte, Mardaani, and recently in the award-winning Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. Rani is the definition of being versatile as an actor and has performed many different roles and excelled in all of them.

One film in which she could have had an opportunity to show her prowess as an actor was Kal Ho Naa Ho, directed by Nikkhil Advani and produced by Karan Johar. However, the role went to Preity Zinta, and Rani confronted Karan Johar on the latter’s talk show, Koffee with Karan, about not taking her for the film.

For the past few months, social media has been rife with rumors about Abhishek Bachchan’s alleged affair with Nimrat Kaur.

Quick Links Christopher Walken Played Frank in The Outlaws Stephen Merchant Had to Fax Walken the Job Offer Walken Returned as a Guest for the Third Season

Christopher Walken is famed for his roles in big movies and shows that have international success. His career has spanned over 70 years, beginning acting as a child and continuing to perform today, with recent credits that include Dune: Part Two and The War with Grandpa. While he's an expected face to see in mega-hit movies, it's a little more surprising to see him star in a British dark comedy series. Nonetheless, Walken was perfectly cast in an original show called The Outlaws. There's certainly a risk when adding in such an actor among a cast of rising stars. It could seem that using someone like Walken is simply to draw in a bigger fan base without him actually fitting the narrative. Thankfully, this wasn't the case.

The celebration of Indian cinema, the International Indian Film Academy (Iifa) Awards, has unveiled the full list of Iifa 2024 nominations and the list is epic!

The highly anticipated Iifa 2024 nominations have been revealed, with Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’ leading the pack with 11 nods. Close behind is Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, which earned 10 nominations. Shah Rukh Khan’s 2023 action hits, ‘Jawan’ and ‘Pathaan’, have each garnered 7 nominations in the Popular Category, while Vikrant Massey’s ‘12th Fail’ secured 5 nominations.

In Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, the romantic thriller from director Jayprad Desai, Taapsee Pannu (Dunki) and Vikrant Massey (12th Fail) play lovers on the run who’ll do anything — including marry other people — to ensure they eventually find their way into each other’s arms. The film is a follow-up to 2021’s Haseen Dillruba, in which the two lead characters, Rani and Rishu, enter an arranged marriage — despite Rani’s misgivings. After a tumultuous start, and a very steamy affair, the pair eventually end up deeply in love … and involved in a murder case that could tear them apart.

So if you’re all caught up on Rani and Rishu’s cross-country mischief and are jonesing for more movies about lovers who’ll go up against anything — and anyone — for the sake of their relationships, here’s what to check out next.

In a landmark moment for the Indian film industry, actress Rani Mukerji launched a commemorative stamp in honour of the legendary film-maker Late Yash Chopra.

Mr. Chopra was also the first Patron of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and the festival has always had deep ties with him. This prestigious event took place today,...

In the follow-up to Haseen Dillruba, husband-and-wife fugitives Rani and Rishu have escaped to the Indian city of Agra after getting away with murder in their former home of Jwalapur. But they can’t live freely as lovers, not so long as the cops are still committed to solving the cold case. As Rani plans another escape, this time to Thailand, Rishu couples with a new man to lessen mounting police scrutiny. But, boy oh boy, nothing goes as planned — and soon, Rani and Rishu are on the run again. From director Jayprad Desai (Mukhbir: The Story of a Spy) and Haseen Dillruba writer Kanika Dhillon (Dunki), Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba stars Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, and Sunny Kaushal.

Doctor Who has had numerous regenerations, but the best ones embody the show's themes of adventure and joy while introducing new directions. The worst regeneration is the Sixth Doctor's, as it's a cynical and emotionless removal of the actor from the role. The Twelfth Doctor's regeneration is the best, with a heartfelt speech that captures the essence of the character and provides a hopeful farewell.

Doctor Who debuted over fifty years ago, featuring over a dozen performers in the lead role of the Doctor thanks in part to the concept of regeneration. An ability possessed by their alien race known as the Time Lords, regeneration allows the Doctor to heal otherwise fatal injuries, changing their appearance and personality in the process. Introduced as a way to recast the role in-universe when the First Doctor William Hartnell's health deteriorated, each subsequent Doctor has departed the show with a regeneration.

I’ve seen a lot of murder mysteries lately, and let me tell you that nobody’s ever had as much of a multiple personality disorder (of sorts) as the new film Devil: The British Secret Agent. The film is just not sure what kind of murder mystery it is. Is it a historical drama plus a murder mystery, or just a crime drama murder mystery? I say this because filmmakers are spicing things up when it comes to this particular genre. We never get a straightforward plot these days because it would be called out as boring, perhaps. Devil: The British Secret Agent merges anything and everything to keep us guessing who the murderer was. And not just that, there is the angle of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose getting affected by the murders. The film is a period drama, action thriller, mystery, comedy, and romantic drama all rolled into one,...

Recalling their Kuch Kuch Hota Hai days, Rani revealed that while shooting for the film KJo once snatched her food plate as he wanted her to lose a few kilos in order to fit in a dress that Manish Malhotra had designed for her.

Vijay Maurya’s 2023 comedy, Mast Mein Rahne Ka, is a classic example that proves life is unpredictable and one can find friends in all the wrong places.

Grown weary of his life, Kamath, every once in a while, sits on the beach and ponders suicide. On the days he doesn’t, he drowns himself in strong beers. On the other end of the city is Nanhe (Abhishek Chauhan), an unfortunate tailor who lost his job after a female client accused him of sexual harassment. To add insult to injury, the woman also posted the video on the internet to rob him of any future employment. Last but not least, Neena Gupta steps into the shoes of Mrs. Handa, who has returned from Canada after her husband’s death.

Spoilers! Lot of them, for Doctor Who of old and new lie ahead. Including the (publicised) return of a face or two to Doctor Who series 9.

Cheating death is a fundamental part of the make-up of Doctor Who. It's lasted for 52 years so far, whether on television or in spin-off media, and that's in no small part because of the original idea to recast the title character in 1966, thus creating the concept of regeneration.

But resurrection has also affected the characters around the Doctor and with a new series about to start, that looks to be as prominent as ever. Heck, series 9 even has a two-parter called The Girl Who Died and The Woman Who Lived. Plus, we already know that apparently dead characters such as Missy, Osgood and River Song will...

Genre films are best exemplified by Westerns, Sci Fi, Musicals, Action/Adventures and any number of such labels that are designed to lump films together that share certain similarities. Such commonalities may be tonal (Film Noir, Horror), conceptual (Sci Fi, Fantasy) or textual (Biopic, Period Drama, War) in nature.
