FIFA World Cup 2026: BTS lights up halftime show with ELECTRIFYING performace alongside Shakira, Justin Bieber and Madonna

FIFA World Cup 2026: BTS created history at the FIFA World Cup by delivering a show-stopping performance during the tournament's first-ever halftime show. Sharing the stage with global music icons Madonna, Shakira and Justin Bieber, the K-pop superstars brought the energy back into a tense final with an electrifying performance of their global hit Dynamite.

Dressed in striking red outfits, RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook made a dramatic entrance shortly after Madonna kicked off the halftime spectacle. Their performance came at the perfect moment, with the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina heading into the break, locked at 0-0, giving the packed MetLife Stadium crowd of over 80,000 fans a memorable dose of entertainment.

Madonna, Football legends and an unforgettable musical spectacle

Madonna kind of kicked off the historic halftime show by welcoming Brazilian football legends Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Naz rio up on the stage, and it got these huge cheers right away from the crowd.

Then the whole thing drifted into this big orchestral moment led by the well-known conductor Gustavo Dudamel, with the New York Philharmonic and also Venezuela's Sim n Bol var Symphony Orchestra. On top of that, there was a little playful twist because the iconic Muppets came through too, like a surprise appearance and everything.

Jungkook surprises fans

One of the biggest moments of the evening came when Jungkook suddenly emerged from among the orchestra as the opening notes of Dynamite began to play.

Leading up to the event, fans had been eagerly speculating about which song BTS would perform, especially since the group is currently touring the world with their sold-out ARIRANG World Tour in support of their latest album.

In the end, the group chose Dynamite- a fitting decision considering it remains one of BTS' biggest international hits and is sung entirely in English, making it easy for thousands of fans inside the stadium to sing along.

Why Dynamite remains a milestone for BTS?

Released in 2020, Dynamite became a landmark song in BTS' career. It was the group's first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and also earned them their first-ever Grammy nomination, making BTS the first K-pop group to receive a nomination in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.

Although the group didn't take home the Grammy, the nomination marked a turning point for K-pop's global recognition and helped cement BTS as one of the biggest music acts in the world.

Another historic achievement

With the FIFA World Cup introducing a halftime show for the very first time, BTS' performance has added yet another milestone to the group's already remarkable list of achievements. Fans won't have to wait long to see them again. BTS is set to return to MetLife Stadium on August 1 and August 2 as part of their ongoing ARIRANG World Tour.

With the Pratham Sankalp event that was organised in New Delhi on July 18, the promotions for Ramayana: Part 1 have finally begun.

At the event, director Nitesh Tiwari lauded Sai Pallavi, who shared her thoughts on playing Sita in the film. On being asked to share her journey behind playing Sita in Ramayana, Sai said, "It's not easy for actors to get roles like this. Because it's not easy to play a Goddess. There must be a team putting their heart and soul into making it the best version." She further added, "I don't think I chose to play Sita maa. I was blessed to play this role. It's not something that you can go after and not something you can write down and say, this is how I want to play. I would sit and meditate and say, Sita maa, you act through me. Whatever comes through me is what you want for the film." The actor showed no qualms in saying she kept her thoughts totally pure because she wanted to put forth the best version of herself. "I was always keeping myself as pure as possible, at least in my thoughts, to keep it very neutral. So I have the best version of myself presenting there."

Dhamaal 4 Box Office Collection Day 9: Ajay Devgn's comedy CROSSES ₹150 crore worldwide, BEATS The Odyssey; ₹200 crore club next?

Ajay Devgn's Dhamaal 4 just isn't slowing down. Even in its second weekend, the film pulled big numbers and kept its lead over a bunch of other recent releases. On Day 9, Saturday, it saw a sharp jump in collections, riding high on strong crowds. By now, it's crossed 150 crore worldwide, sealing its spot as one of the year's biggest hits. Let's talk numbers. Early trade reports say Dhamaal 4 brought in around 10 crore at the Indian box office on its ninth day. Here's the current breakdown:

India Net: 111.50 crore

India Gross: 132.93 crore

Overseas: 18.75 crore

Worldwide: 151.68 crore

That Saturday surge gave the film a real push. Sunday's expected to do even better. The second weekend has given Dhamaal 4 a fresh burst of momentum. Just like any good crowd-pleaser, the movie really took off with the weekend rush. Collections picked up sharply after a steady run during the week. Trade experts say families keep flocking to theaters, and the movie appeals to all age groups. Despite new films hitting screens, Dhamaal 4 keeps pulling in strong numbers and filling seats.

The Odyssey Remains The Biggest Competition

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is really the only big competition right now. Nolan's movie has pulled in plenty of folks who want that grand cinematic experience, but even so, Dhamaal 4 hasn't lost its stride and stays strong in the mass markets. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle hasn't quite managed to catch up. Ajay Devgn and his ensemble cast are still ahead when it comes to collections. Audiences just seem to prefer the slapstick energy and the familiar faces.

Eyes Now On The 200 Crore Club

Now, all eyes are on the 200 crore mark. Dhamaal 4 blasted into the 100 crore club in its first week, and at this pace, it's got a great shot at another big milestone. With Sunday expected to deliver solid numbers and no major Hindi releases on the horizon, box office watchers think that 200 crore isn't far off. Starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Javed Jaffrey, Dhamaal 4 proves again that slapstick comedy mixed with a healthy dose of franchise nostalgia is still a winning formula. Audiences keep turning up, and the box office keeps climbing. For 2026, this one's clearly a chart-topper.

With this new episode, India's Got Latent season two has once again found itself in teh middle of online debate and discussion. What sparked this discussion was contestant Sakshi Jha, who appeared in yesterday's episode.

The third episode of Samay Raina's India's Got Latent season two featured Samay Raina alongside Tanmay Bhatt, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram and Yashraj Mehra on the judging panel. After Sakshi was done with her 'man-hater' set and it was time to score her, all the panellists gave her a zero. This was teh very first time that a contestant had gotten zero marks for her performance. Let's dive in to find out more about the 'man-hater' girl from Samay Raina's India's Got Latent season two episode three here.

Sakshi Jha's man-hater set for India's Got Latent Season 2 Episode 3

After a long wait, Samay Raina finally read the third episode of India's Got Latent Season 2. Like always, this episode followed teh same format of people performing and then getting a score from the judges. One act from episode 3 of Samay's show, which has been making rounds on teh internet, is of Sakshi Jha.

She is a teacher and social media creator who hails from Bihar. Sakshi described herself as a man-hater. Her controversial remarks throughout the audition left both the panel and the audience stunned. Sakshi has been going viral as she became the first contestant to receive zero points from the panel.

While Sakshi had confidently given herself a rating of 8 out of ten, her man-hater persona was not liked by the judges. Sakshi introduced herself as a 'man-hater,' and even revealed that she disliked men, a statement which instantly caught the attention of the panel.

Fellow panellist Tanmay Bhatt asked Sakshi about how her father felt on her man-hater views. She calmly replied that she hated him as well. She further went on to say that her dislike towards men extended to her grandfather, father and brother, leaving the judges too stunned to speak.

During Sakshi's set, she even went on to make remarks about marriage and relationships which failed to land, leaving teh judges unimpressed. Sakshi made comments like "Pati ko daru pi ke marna hai," and how an ideal husband should be a "Joru Ka Gulaam," but her comments were not liked by the panel.

After hearing Sakshi's thoughts and remarks around men, the panellist started to grill her. It started with Samay Raina and the other judges pulling her leg after she failed to identify Gautam Buddha despite being a teacher. Raghu Ram, on the other hand, even went on to sarcastically remark that because of her, people would end up loving men even more. The judges also refused to accept Sakshi's repeated claim that she was a feminist, questioning whether her views reflected the principles she was referring to.
