Dhurandhar's earnings

Image
  How the Money's Being Split for *Dhurandhar In straightforward terms, here's how the profits are being carved up for Dhurandhar as of December 2025. The film's been a huge success, pulling in over ₹750 crore worldwide, so there's plenty of cash to go round. 1. Jio Studios (The Money Behind It All) Jio Studios (owned by Reliance) stumped up most of the cash to make and promote the film. Their Cut: They're the biggest winners. After covering the ₹250–₹280 crore it cost to make the film, they're expected to walk away with a net profit of around ₹150 to ₹200 crore. Extra Perks: They also own the rights to any future sequels and spin-offs, which makes the "Dhurandhar" brand a goldmine for them going forward. 2. The Producers (Aditya & Lokesh Dhar) The Dhar brothers (B62 Studios) are the creative minds behind it. Their Cut: They usually get a flat production fee plus a percentage of the final profits (what's called the "backend"). Est...

Dhurandhar a "₹300 crore propaganda film

Image
Dhruv Rathee has called Dhurandhar a "₹300 crore propaganda film," and his main issue is with its extreme violence and the way it handles certain political themes. He started criticising it when the trailer came out, and his attacks ramped up as the film became a huge box-office hit in December 2025. Watch dhurandhar Here's what he's been saying: 1. The "ISIS Videos" Comparison Rathee's biggest complaint, and the one that went viral, was about how graphic the film is. He reckons the level of gore, torture, and "ISIS-style beheadings" shown in the trailer and the film itself goes too far—it's not just entertainment anymore, it's dangerous. His argument: By dressing up extreme brutality as "patriotic entertainment," the filmmakers are "poisoning young people's minds" just to make money. 2. Making Violence Normal Rathee also had a go at India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), accusing them of double ...

United States Suspends Immigration from 19 Countries After Terror Attack

United States Suspends Immigration from 19 Countries After Terror Attack The United States has stopped accepting immigrants from nineteen countries following a terrorist attack in Washington, D.C. that killed two National Guard members. The government says it's a security measure, but the decision has sparked fierce debate about whether it's fair, whether it'll actually work, and what it means for the thousands of people now stuck in limbo. The announcement came from the Trump administration, which insists the suspension is needed to keep the country safe. Officials say the countries on the list—including Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Eritrea, Chad, Myanmar, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Haiti—have serious problems with security checks and information sharing. The ban doesn't just affect new applications; it's also frozen cases that were already being processed, leaving families and individuals stranded with no clear path forward. Those wh...

Saudi Arabia's Deportation of 24,000 Pakistanis: A Blow to Reputation and Human Dignity

Image
Saudi Arabia's Deportation of 24,000 Pakistanis: A Blow to Reputation and Human Dignity Saudi Arabia has deported more than 24,000 Pakistani nationals this year, and the reasons given—organised begging and visa abuse, particularly around Mecca and Medina—have caused serious embarrassment for Pakistan. Behind the numbers lies a grimmer story about poverty, exploitation, and the lengths desperate people will go to when they see no future at home. Most of those deported had travelled on Umrah or tourist visas, supposedly for religious pilgrimage, but were caught begging in the streets. Saudi authorities take a dim view of this, seeing it as both a violation of the pilgrimage's sanctity and evidence of organised criminal networks preying on vulnerable people. The scale of the deportations suggests this isn't just a few bad apples—it's a systemic problem. Pakistan isn't alone in this. The UAE has sent back around 6,000 Pakistanis, mostly for begging or suspected crimin...

Bill Gates and Sergey Brin Among Newly Released Epstein Photos The release of new photographs from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has once again drawn public attention to the far‑reaching network of connections maintained by the disgraced financier. Among the images, now made public by the US House Oversight Committee, are pictures of two of the world’s most recognisable technology leaders: Bill Gates, co‑founder of Microsoft, and Sergey Brin, co‑founder of Google.   The photographs form part of a wider collection of around seventy images, taken at social events and gatherings linked to Epstein. In one, Gates is seen standing beside a woman whose face has been redacted for privacy reasons. In another, Brin appears in a casual setting connected to Epstein’s circle. Importantly, the committee has emphasised that these images do not depict any criminal activity, nor do they serve as evidence of wrongdoing by Gates or Brin. Their inclusion is simply part of a broader effort to document ...
