BREAKING: Uday Bhai and Majnu Bhai reunite; Nana Patekar features in an exciting cameo in Anil Kapoor-starrer Subedaar

Subedaar has released today, March 5, and it has generated excitement due to lead actor Anil Kapoor’s massy performance and an exciting trailer. Viewers who would watch this film on Amazon Prime Video will be in for a surprise. This is because Nana Patekar also features in the film.

In a crucial scene in the film, Nana Patekar appears on screen all of a sudden. His presence adds to the fun and madness; in fact, if Subedaar was a theatrical film, Nana’s entry would have led to a frenzy in cinemas.

Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar first shared screen space in Parinda (1989). Eighteen years later, they reunited in Welcome (2007) and struck gold. Nana played the unforgettable Uday Bhai, while Anil played his subordinate, Majnu Bhai. Together, their banter turned iconic and helped the film attain cult status. They came together once again in Welcome Back (2015), which remains their last on-screen collaboration to date. Ever since, fans have been demanding a full-fledged Uday Bhai-Majnu Bhai reunion, and Subedaar finally brings the duo back. It is sure to be lapped up by viewers.

Besides Anil Kapoor, Subedaar also stars Radhikka Madan, Mona Singh, Aditya Rawal, Saurabh Shukla, Faisal Malik and Kushboo Sundar in a cameo. It is directed by Suresh Trivedi of Tumhari Sulu (2017), Jalsa (2022) and Daldal (2026) fame.

Last week, a grand trailer launch was held at a restobar by the beach in Mumbai, where the whole team was present in full force. Anil said, “I shot the most difficult and crucial scene in the film amid thousands of bystanders. They were shouting 'Jhakaas' and 'Aye jee o jee'! However, I switched off the noise. I focused on my scene. If you want something from the bottom of your heart, you'll be able to achieve it.”

Nora Fatehi claps back at trolls after VIRAL world peace message amid Iran-Israel crisis gets slammed: 'People have lost...' [Video]

US-Israel-Iran war: Actress-dancer Nora Fatehi recently spoke about the rising tensions and violence in parts of the Middle East, and called for global unity. She had asked her fans and followers to pray for unity during a period which she described as 'psychological and spiritual warfare'. Nora has now shared another video wherein she mentioned that her call for peace and unity amid the ongoing Iran Israel conflict has been misconstrued and that she is being slammed for it.

Nora Fatehi REACTS to massive backlash

Nora took to her Instagram handle on March 3 to share her views. She said, "I think a lot of people have lost touch with the ability to have comprehension skills and listening skills. And I think that's something that we used to learn back in the day in school. So, you know, comprehension skills, critical thinking skills, and reading abilities, and being able to just listen."

'You need to go check yourself'

Nora further said, "If you don't think you are a part of that sentence, because every country and every person is a part of the world. So if I speak generally on people and wanting people to live in peace, and if I speak against chaos, and if you have a problem with that, then you need to go check yourself. Morally, there's something wrong with you."

The actress also mentioned that after she put out her video wherein she explained how exhausted people globally are with chaos and other world events, she was talking for everyone, irrespective of their location, background, or religion. She also showed no inhibitions in saying that if her message about peace bothers people, or if they are irked by it, then they must reflect on themselves. "While I'm reflecting today, because you know, I just did my prayers, and I'm about to break my fast, and I'm sitting here, and I'm thinking, and I'm like, wow, you know, we live in a world today where people get upset, they get angry, if you speak about world peace, that's scary," Nora added.

Holi is not only about movies and music, it’s a feast of innovation too

Many feel Holi really took off because of Bollywood movies. Honestly speaking, they might have a point because for several years, Hindi cinema has always depicted Holi as an interesting mix of color, music, drama, and pure joy. There have been several iconic scenes where people dance, throw gulal in the air, laugh, and even confess love. And let's not forget the songs. Bollywood's Holi tracks are bangers. Considering the fact that for many, their first glimpse of Holi was through a movie scene or song, the festival's cinematic version has shaped how we picture the festival. But is Holi only just famous for the cinematic representation? No.

The colorful and joyful festival is also popular for its delicious feasts. For years, families have been following the ritual of coming together to prepare traditional sweets and snacks including gujiya, malpua, and thandai - which have been included in popular tracks like Rang Barse, Hori Khere among others. What keeps Holi more relevant today is the manner in which these festive treats are reinvented with a modern touch. Contemporary chefs show no qualms in experimenting with fusion flavors. These creative delicacies adapt to newer tastes and lifestyles, while preserving traditions.

We spoke to Saarthak Sharma, Executive Chef, Radisson Blu MBD Hotel Noida to understand if Indian Holi sweets like gujiya and malpua can be easily combined with Western desserts to create impressive fusion treats. Excerpts from an interview...

What traditional Holi sweet can be turned into a fusion dessert?

Gujiya is perfect for fusion. It can be transformed into Gujiya Cheesecake, Gujiya Cannoli, or even a Baked Gujiya Tart while retaining its signature khoya and dry fruit filling.

What flavors can be added to gujiya for a fusion twist?

Chocolate hazelnut, salted caramel, coconut-lemongrass, rose-pistachio, cranberry-almond, and even matcha can give gujiya a contemporary edge while maintaining its festive soul.

Can Indian Holi sweets be combined with Western desserts?

Absolutely. Motichoor laddoo can become Laddoo Truffles, rabri can be layered into parfaits, and malpua pairs beautifully with maple syrup ice cream or as a base for plated desserts.

How can thandai be used in a modern recipe?

Thandai works beautifully in Thandai Tiramisu, Thandai Panna Cotta, or even as a flavored base for Thandai Tres Leches Cake. It can also be infused into whipped cream or mousse for a subtle festive aroma.

What is a simple fusion snack idea for a Holi party?

Dahi Bhalla Chaat Cups served in mini tart shells or Guacamole Papdi Bites are simple yet festive fusion options that are easy to serve at gatherings.

What fusion drink can replace traditional bhang at a party?

A Thandai Espresso Martini, Saffron-Pistachio Milk Punch, or Rose & Cardamom Spritzer offers festive vibrancy in a sophisticated, modern format.

How can street food be given a festive Holi makeover?

Add vibrant natural colors and premium toppings for example, Beetroot & Spinach Pani Puri, Saffron-infused Ragda, or Holi Special Nachos with Chutney Salsa.

What is an easy no-bake fusion dessert for Holi?

A Thandai Cheesecake Jar or Rose & Pistachio Chocolate Bark is simple, elegant, and perfect for festive gifting.

Which international cuisine pairs well with traditional Holi flavors?

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines pair beautifully due to shared ingredients like pistachio, saffron, rose, and nuts. Italian desserts also blend seamlessly with thandai and cardamom notes.

Toxic advance booking: Yash’s film BREAKS pre-release records? Producer G Dhananjayan calls it masterclass in Pan-India strategy

Toxic advance booking: Although Yash's next movie, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has not yet been released, seasoned producer Dr G. Dhananjayan estimates it has already earned around Rs 600 crore from pre-release sales alone. Speaking on his program Cinema Strategist, Dhananjayan explained why everyone who has been watching the making of this movie should not be surprised by that figure. Although Yash's next movie, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, has not yet been released, seasoned producer Dr G. Dhananjayan estimates it has already earned around Rs 600 crore from pre-release sales alone. Speaking on his program Cinema Strategist, Dhananjayan explained why everyone who has been watching the making of this movie should not be surprised by that figure.

Toxic's pre-release hype began with...

According to Dhananjayan, Toxic's pre-release popularity began with the casting. "You've got Nayanthara, then Rukmini Vasanth, then Tovino Thomas from Malayalam, then Amit Karval," he said, emphasising that each name was chosen with a specific audience in mind. He went on to explain the reasons behind each decision.

"Nayanthara has already come and gained some popularity from the movie Jawan. Everyone knows about Rukmini Vasanth after the Kantara chapter," he said, claiming that by the time the film is out, every major market would already have a recognised face to identify with.

Pan-India cinema must be built, not dubbed: G Dhananjayan

What G Dhananjayan refers to as true pan-Indian cinema is based on this way of thinking. According to him, a South Indian film that is dubbed and extensively circulated is not a pan-Indian film. It is something that was created from the ground up to appeal to audiences everywhere. What G Dhananjayan refers to as true pan-Indian cinema is based on this way of thinking.

No threat from Dhurandhar 2?

He also cited the team's confidence in the film's release date approach. Alongside Dhurandhar 2, a follow-up to an already popular franchise, Toxic launches on March 19. This is not an issue for the Toxic team, according to Dhananjayan. He said, "They planned the right strategy and are releasing this movie with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. They call it strategic positioning."

According to his interpretation, the Toxic team is utilising the competition to indicate that their movie should be included in the same discussion rather than avoiding it.

The pre-business number also relates to a broader point Dhananjayan has been making on the real requirements for a South Indian movie to earn more than Rs 1,000 crore. "All the movies that have crossed Rs 1000 crore at the box office, about 40 to 45 percent of the earnings come from North India," he said. "Out of Rs 1000 crore, around Rs 400 to 450 crore come from North India."

This is neither a benefit nor an unexpected result for him. The appropriate casting, material, and physical promotion presence in those markets must be prepared for from the start.

US-Israel war on Iran: Manya Singh shares HARROWING experience in Dubai, says she is scared after seeing explosions and missiles; 'I am alone and...'

US-Israel-Iran War: Miss India 2020 runner-up and former Bigg Boss participant Manya Singh is currently stuck in Dubai after her flight was halted due to rising tensions in some areas of the UAE. Iran is said to have attacked several US allies in the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, in retaliation for Israeli and American strikes on Iranian territory on February 28.

Manya Singh stranded in Dubai amid...

Manya said that the flight she was supposed to take back was cancelled. On February 26, she traveled to the United Arab Emirates to give a keynote address at a college conference. She told ETimes that she had booked a flight from Abu Dhabi on February 28 at 2:50 pm, but she decided to stay behind as others departed on the evening of February 27. She was left stranded, however, when the flight was later suspended. The situation in Dubai, according to her, is "extremely tense."

What did Manya say about Dubai's situation?

She added, "On Saturday, when I was at the Dubai airport, I saw explosions around the area and missiles flying. It was a frightening moment. Even now, I can hear explosions. Roads are shut, and there is hardly any movement outside. I am alone and scared, but I cannot afford to panic because that will only make things worse."

The model said that because airport officials were setting up accommodations for stuck travelers, she was originally supposed to stay at Fairmont The Palm. They couldn't find one for her there, though. Around thirty minutes later, she learned that the hotel had allegedly been attacked. She is presently residing at CIEL Dubai Marina, which is located opposite to it.

Network down, hope still alive

She went on to say that there has been no information since her flight was the first to be stopped. She has been completely dependent on Wi-Fi because her international mobile network is down. Manya said that she even contacted the embassy on many WhatsApp numbers and received a manual procedure, but she was unable to finish it without mobile network connectivity.

She expressed her appreciation and noted that Etihad Airways has promised to let her know when the next flight is available, and UAE authorities are taking care of stranded passengers.
