Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan To Be Postponed; Eyes Independence Day 2026 Release

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, February 8 - Salman Khan's much-anticipated war drama Battle of Galwan may not arrive in cinemas on its originally planned release date. According to recent reports, the makers are considering postponing the film as key production and post-production work is still underway. Reports suggest that portions of the film are yet to be completed, with some reshoots currently in progress. Once the shooting wraps up, the team will require sufficient time for editing and post-production, which could make it challenging to meet the targeted April 17 release window. Given the scale and sensitivity of the subject, the makers are reportedly unwilling to rush the process. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Adding to this, the Battle of Galwan is also expected to be screened for the Ministry of Defence, a step that is often followed for films based on real-life military events. This mandatory approval process could further impact the timeline, prompting the producers to explore alternative release dates. It is said that the makers are now eyeing an Independence Day 2026 release, which perfectly aligns with its patriotic theme. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the makers regarding a postponement. The team is said to be weighing all options, with a final call expected once the remaining shoot and post-production schedule becomes clearer. Until an official announcement is made, the release status of Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan remains as scheduled. Stay tuned...

Steven Spielberg and Morgan Freeman Team Up for THE DINOSAURS: Netflix's Epic New Docuseries Arrives This March

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The era of the dinosaurs is returning to the small screen with a level of visual fidelity never seen before. Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its landmark natural history event, THE DINOSAURS, a four-part docuseries that aims to be the definitive chronicle of nature's greatest empire. Scheduled for a global premiere on March 6, 2026, the project brings together a dream team of Hollywood titans and world-class scientists to recreate the 150-million-year reign of the prehistoric world. The creative pedigree behind the project is unparalleled in the documentary world. The series is executive produced by filmmaking legend Steven Spielberg and his banner Amblin Documentaries, marking a spiritual return to the prehistoric themes he popularized with Jurassic Park.To bring these long-extinct creatures back to life with photorealistic accuracy, Netflix has reunited the award-winning team behind Life on Our Planet, including showrunners Dan Tapster, Keith Scholey, and Alastair Fothergill.The visual effects and animation are being handled by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the same studio responsible for the groundbreaking VFX in Star Wars and Avatar. View the trailer here: First trailer for ‘THE DINOSAURS’, a new documentary series narrated by Morgan Freeman with visual effects by ILM.Releasing March 6 on Netflix. pic.twitter.com/MYn4nrqvTA— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) February 5, 2026 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Spanning four hour-long episodes, THE DINOSAURS is not just another nature show; it is an epic journey into a lost world.The series begins on the supercontinent of Pangea, tracing the lineage of dinosaurs from tiny, agile proto-dinosaurs like the Marasuchus to earth-shaking giants like the Mamenchisaurus.According to the production notes, the series utilizes the latest expert paleontological research to inform its creature animation, covering how these animals evolved, why they mattered, and how they eventually met their ultimate fate. The technical ambition of the series is further elevated by its cinematic presentation. Directed by Nick Shoolingin-Jordan with a score by renowned composer Lorne Balfe (Mission: Impossible, Top Gun: Maverick), the production combines state-of-the-art CG environments with digital creature animation to visualize ecosystems that no longer exist. From apex predators like the T-Rex and Allosaurus to leviathans of the deep like Pliosaurus, the series promises a level of immersion that blurs the line between a traditional documentary and a big-budget blockbuster. As the prehistoric trend continues to dominate streaming—following the success of Apple TV+'s Prehistoric Planet—Netflix is clearly aiming for the crown. By merging Spielberg's cinematic vision with Freeman's gravitas and ILM's technical wizardry, THE DINOSAURS is set to be the definitive story of life on Earth before the age of man. All four episodes will be available for streaming globally on March 6.

Since the last few days, several videos, allegedly citing Delhi Police data, claiming that over 800 people, including children and women, have gone missing in the National Capital between January 1 and 15, 2026, have been circulated on social media, causing panic and fear among the public.

YouTube Dethrones Netflix: Historic $60 Billion Revenue in 2025 Makes it the New Streaming King Bollywood

YouTube Dethrones Netflix: Historic $60 Billion Revenue in 2025 Makes it the New Streaming King

BY CHRISTA LINCY

In a monumental shift for the global media landscape, YouTube has officially surpassed Netflix to become the highest-earning streaming platform in the world. According to the final consolidated financial reports for the 2025 fiscal year, Alphabet's YouTube ecosystem generated a staggering revenue of approximately 60 billion. This figure significantly eclipses Netflix's full−year revenue, which stood at a record−high 45.18 billion. This milestone marks the first time in the history of the Streaming Wars that a platform driven by user-generated content has financially outperformed the world's leading subscription-based movie and series powerhouse. The surge in YouTube's revenue is attributed to a massive diversification of its income streams. While traditional advertising remains a cornerstone, contributing significantly to the $60 billion total, the real growth engine has been YouTube Consumer Subscriptions. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that the combination of YouTube Premium, YouTube Music, and the cable-replacement service, YouTube TV, now generates an annual run rate exceeding $15 billion. By successfully converting a fraction of its 2.7 billion monthly active users into paid subscribers, YouTube has built a financial fortress that traditional streamers, who rely almost entirely on subscription fees, are finding difficult to match. Despite losing the top revenue spot to YouTube, Netflix reported its strongest financial year to date. Reaching $45.18 billion in revenue represents nearly 16% year-on-year growth, driven by a successful crackdown on password sharing and the rapid scaling of its ad-supported tier. Netflix officially ended 2025 with over 310 million global paid memberships, maintaining its crown as the go-to destination for high-budget scripted content. However, the $15 billion revenue gap between the two giants highlights a fundamental shift: the market is currently favoring YouTube's hybrid model, which blends free ad-supported content with premium paid features and live sports like the NFL Sunday Ticket. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   A critical factor in this takeover is YouTube's dominance in the Living Room market. Nielsen data throughout 2025 consistently ranked YouTube as the #1 streaming service on television screens, accounting for nearly 10% of total TV usage in major markets. This Big Screen success has allowed YouTube to command higher ad rates and attract a demographic that was previously exclusive to traditional broadcasters and Netflix. With creators now producing high-production-value content specifically for 4K television sets, the line between YouTube videos and TV shows has effectively vanished, pulling both viewers and advertisers away from traditional platforms. Looking ahead to 2026, this $60 billion milestone signals a permanent change in the entertainment hierarchy. YouTube is no longer just a video-sharing site; it is a global media conglomerate that rivals the total revenue of legacy giants like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. For the industry, the message is clear: the integration of creator-led content, live sports, and music under one ecosystem has created a financial scale that is now the new gold standard. As Netflix continues to pivot toward live events and gaming to bridge the revenue gap, YouTube's massive lead sets a daunting benchmark for the future of digital entertainment.

SS Rajamouli's Dharna for IMAX: How Mahesh Babu's Varanasi Could Finally Bring True 1.43:1 Screens to India

BY CHRISTA LINCY

In the world of global cinema, S.S. Rajamouli is no longer just a filmmaker; he is a visionary architect of spectacle. Following the historic global success of RRR, Rajamouli is now setting his sights on a new frontier—one that isn't just about the story on screen, but the screen itself.His upcoming globe-trotting adventure, officially titled Varanasi (formerly #SSMB29), starring Superstar Mahesh Babu, is being positioned as a cultural and technological inflection point for India. During a high-profile interaction, Rajamouli issued a playful yet pointed ultimatum to the tech giants in Los Angeles, sparking a viral conversation about India's theatrical infrastructure. The filmmaker's frustration centers on the lack of True IMAX screens in India—specifically those capable of the immersive 1.43:1 aspect ratio. To emphasize his point, Rajamouli shared a sentiment that has now become the rallying cry for Indian cinephiles: In India, we call something like Dharna that says like if you are not happy with someone we pitch tents outside their office and say we demand some theatre. So I am going to pitch tent outside IMAX in LA and demand them... we need big screens here in India. This isn't just a joke; it is a signal of intent from a director who refuses to let his 1,300-crore vision be compressed into standard formats. The irony of the current situation is hard to ignore. India is already IMAX's 7th largest market, with a staggering footprint growth of nearly 60% since 2020. The audience's appetite for premium large-format experiences is undeniable, yet the infrastructure lags behind the ambition. While most Indian IMAX screens are digital versions on smaller 1.90:1 displays, Rajamouli's Varanasi is being filmed specifically for the towering 1.43:1 format. For a story that spans multiple worlds—from the spiritual ghats of Varanasi to the frozen wastes of Antarctica and even the mythic Treta Yuga—the director insists that only the vertical scale of a True IMAX can do justice to the magnificent visuals. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Perhaps the most stinging irony lies in Hyderabad, the heart of Telugu cinema. Despite producing the country's biggest blockbusters and housing a massive fan base, the city currently lacks a confirmed, top-tier IMAX screen. This gap between the industry's creative ambition and its technical infrastructure is precisely what Varanasi hopes to bridge. With a star-studded cast including Mahesh Babu as the protagonist Rudhra, Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini, and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist Kumbha, the film is designed for scale, myth, and immersion. Rajamouli has even noted that for the film's teaser launch, they audaciously built a custom 100-foot by 130-foot screen just to show the footage as intended. The ball is now firmly in the court of Indian exhibitors. IMAX has already responded to Rajamouli's Dharna comment with a clear we're ready, signaling that they are open for business and eager to expand.If Varanasi receives the IMAX treatment it deserves by its April 7, 2027 release, it won't just elevate one film; it will reset the expectations for how Indian blockbusters are experienced. It could finally normalize IMAX-first filmmaking in India, turning it from a premium afterthought into a standard for excellence. As Rajamouli prepares to take his fight to LA, the message is clear: Indian cinema has the vision—it's time for the theaters to provide the canvas.

Dhurandhar 2 Locks Massive ₹245 Crore Non-Theatrical Deal; Ranveer Singh Film Doubles Part 1 Business

BY CHRISTA LINCY

The Indian film industry is witnessing a monumental shift in non-theatrical valuations as the Ranveer Singh-led action epic, Dhurandhar 2, has reportedly locked one of the most lucrative deals in recent history. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the Aditya Dhar-directed sequel has secured a staggering ₹245 Crore non-theatrical package, cementing its status as a massive revenue generator even before its theatrical arrival. As per sources close to the development cited by the portal, the non-theatrical rights—comprising digital, satellite, and music—have been snatched up by industry giants at record-breaking prices. The digital streaming rights of Dhurandhar 2 have been acquired by Jio Hotstar for a massive ₹150 Crore, while the satellite rights for all languages have gone to Star Network for ₹50 Crore. Adding further to the deal, the music rights have been picked up by T-Series for ₹45 Crore, taking the overall non-theatrical value to unprecedented levels. For context, the non-theatrical rights of Dhurandhar: Part 1 were previously sold for a hefty price of around ₹140 Crore. With the sequel clocking in at ₹245 Crore, the brand value of the franchise has nearly doubled. The combined profit for Jio Studios from the two films is considered immense, especially given the unique production strategy employed by the makers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The project was initially planned as a single, expansive theatrical release. However, due to the sheer depth and scale of the story, the makers came up with the idea of releasing the movie in two parts just two days before the release of Part 1. Since the production costs were largely absorbed during the initial filming phase, the revenue generated by Dhurandhar 2 is being viewed by trade analysts as a complete profit venture for the producers. Directed by Aditya Dhar, known for Uri: The Surgical Strike, the film features a powerhouse ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. Produced under the banners of Jio Studios (Jyoti Deshpande) and B62 Studios (Lokesh Dhar), Dhurandhar 2 is positioned as a high-octane political action-thriller based on real-life intelligence operations.

Tum Mere Main Tumhara (TMMTMTTM), the romantic comedy starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, has officially made its digital debut following an eight-week theatrical window. Released theatrically on December 25, 2025, the film is now available for home viewing, though it follows the Early Access rental model before becoming available to all subscribers. The film arrived with significant hype, primarily because it reunited the lead pair of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, who previously delivered the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh.However, despite the strong anticipation, the film struggled to replicate that magic at the box office. While the chemistry of the lead pair remained a highlight, a weak plot coupled with the overwhelming Dhurandhar wave resulted in a lukewarm theatrical performance. After completing its eight-week theatrical window, the film has now made its way to the digital world. When and Where to Watch Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri(TMMTMTTM) Online? Starting February 5, 2026, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Currently, the film is part of the Prime Video Store under the early access model. Viewers who wish to watch the film immediately can rent it for a price of ₹349. For those who prefer not to pay the additional rental fee, the movie will be made available free of cost for all Amazon Prime members approximately two weeks later.
