sticks to its familiar charm and slice-of-life storytelling but brings little that’s new. The plot builds around small village incidents without much narrative momentum. Abhishek (Jitendra Kumar) battles anxiety over an FIR and his CAT results, while election chaos brews in Phulera, with Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar) going all out to woo voters

Despite signs of creative fatigue, the show thrives on its simplicity, rooted setting, and likeable characters. Performances stay strong, especially Kumar and the core ensemble. While the season ends on an open note, Panchayat continues to be a comfort watch, even if nothing major happens. Just don’t expect high drama or big surprises

Director Joseph Kosinski brings a high-octane tale that hinges on incredible realism and breathtaking race-track action. Filmed on actual F1 circuits during race weekends, the movie features adrenaline-filled sequences. Claudio Miranda’s cinematography and Hans Zimmer’s music ensure the thrill crescendos in every scene. However, the plot is formulaic at its core, and the narrative occasionally leans too heavily on technicalities that feel hard to follow. Brad Pitt nails the role of a driver with laid-back arrogance. Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem are equally compelling

Director Vishal Furia’s mythological horror is an addition to the Shaitaan universe. A dark, derelict haveli, scattered ruins, and haunting forests create an atmospheric backdrop and eerie visual tone. However, the narrative is uneven, and the pace slackens at times, affecting the film’s overall grip. Some moments deliver genuine chills, but gimmicky VFX and exaggerated creature design dilute the fear factor. While the premise holds promise, the storyline becomes predictable. Kajol delivers a compelling performance, balancing vulnerability with fierce resolve. Kherin Sharma and Ronit Bose Roy lend solid support

Our Father’s Day special interview with Junaid Khan, originally featured in Lucknow Times, is today featured across TOI editions nationwide. 🗞️

In a heartfelt conversation, Junaid opened up about his bond with his father, Aamir Khan, and shared why he wouldn’t want to reprise any of his father’s iconic roles:
“I wouldn’t want to play any of papa’s roles. Not really. There would be too many comparisons. And frankly, why mess with something that’s already there?”

The Mirzapur and Broken News star .pilgaonkar recently visited the Women Power Line - 1090, () urging more cities across the country to replicate its strong support system. She interacted with on-duty police person-nel, explored the helpline's round-the-clock operations, and praised its success in aiding women facing abuse or violence. "I was truly fascinated by the 1090 initiative," Pilgaonkar said, noting how the call cen-tre connects women directly to help. "It was inspiring to see such a well-organised system and to learn each step of the process - from the moment a call is received to how cases are followed up."

A school teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his ex-wife (Karen Gillan), reunite under mysterious circumstances. The internet is down; cellular network, TV are about to crash… the world is about to end. Strangely, in their final moments of uncertainty, they stumble upon billboards celebrating an ordinary 39-year-old accountant called Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) aka Chuck. Who is he, what is his story and why is he being hailed as a hero?

Based on a Stephen King novella and narrated in a non-linear three-act fashion, The Life of Chuck sums up life as we know it. Our fascinating relationship with time lies at the heart of the story. There’s no such thing as the right time. There’s time and what you do with it. Tom Hiddleston lends the film its magic. He also finally gets to dance for a good 15 minutes (the film is not a musical) and he’s all things brilliant

Stolen is a gripping, lean thriller that unfolds over one chaotic night at a small-town railway station in Rajasthan. When a poor woman’s infant goes missing, two brothers — one privileged, the other more grounded — find themselves caught in a web of suspicion, mob violence and mounting fear. The film wastes no time, diving straight into tension and never letting up. With minimal music and a stripped-down style, it builds dread through atmosphere and strong performances. Though a few chase scenes feel repetitive, the film remains focused and emotionally honest

Chhal Kapat begins with an apparent su***de but gradually unfolds as a murder mystery. Styled like an Agatha Christie mystery, the series sticks to genre conventions, relying on red herrings, methodical eliminations, and familiar investigative tools. Shriya Pilgaonkar stands out as the no-nonsense officer, while the rest of the cast delivers forgettable performances. The show doesn’t attempt to innovate but remains watchable due to its short episodes

The Accountant 2 is an action flick that keeps you mildly entertained but never quite grips you like the first film did. The plot is far-fetched and needlessly complex. While the action scenes and the chemistry between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal provide sparks, everything else feels underwhelming. Affleck’s portrayal of Christian Wolff lacks the quiet tension of the first film, while Bernthal steals the show with his unpredictable energy as Braxton. The film sidelines the autistic traits that gave Wolff depth, replacing them with generic super genius flair
