Palash caught red handed with another girl, claims Smriti’s friend

Actor-producer Vidnyan Mane has levelled serious allegations against singer-composer Palaash Muchhal, accusing him of cheating Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and duping him of over Rs 40 lakh linked to an unreleased film. Mane has filed a formal complaint in Sangli, Maharashtra, claiming he was introduced to Palaash through the Mandhana family and trusted him as a close associate.

Speaking to the media, Mane alleged that Palaash was caught with another woman during wedding celebrations in November 2025, leading to chaos within the families. He further claimed that he invested heavily in a film project involving the Muchhal family but was later pressured to invest more money under threat of being removed from the project.

Responding to the accusations, Palaash Muchhal denied all claims, calling them baseless and malicious. His lawyer stated that the allegations lack evidence and questioned their timing, adding that legal action will be taken through appropriate channels.

Border 2 Opens Big with Rs 30 Crore, Becomes January Hit

Sunny Deol’s Border 2 has made a strong entry at the box office, earning an estimated Rs 30 crore on its opening day. This marks the second biggest January opening in Bollywood, just behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which had collected Rs 57 crore on Day 1. January has historically been a slow month for Bollywood, but films like Padmavaat and Fighter have shown that strong releases can break the trend.

Unlike Pathaan, which rode on SRK’s comeback and fan frenzy, Border 2 benefits from the established popularity of the war franchise and Sunny Deol’s blockbuster momentum from Gadar 2. Its success is driven by strong single-screen collections, pre-release buzz, and mass audience turnout.

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana. Industry watchers are keenly observing how Border 2 performs in the coming days.

Border 2 Morning Shows Cancelled Due to Technical Delay

Sunny Deol’s much-awaited film Border 2 hit theatres on January 23, but several morning shows were cancelled across parts of India. Reports suggest that delays in content delivery led to the cancellation of early screenings, leaving fans disappointed on release day. Exhibitors clarified that the issue was temporary and caused by technical reasons.

According to trade sources, early shows scheduled between 7:30 am and 9 am could not take place as the final digital content was delivered late. Platforms like UFO Moviez reportedly informed cinema owners that the download would start only around 6:30 am. With the film’s long runtime of 192 minutes, it took additional hours to prepare the content for screening.

Despite the initial disruption, exhibitors remain confident that shows will resume smoothly. Screenings are expected to begin nationwide by around 10 am. Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, and is releasing ahead of the Republic Day weekend.

Border 2 banned in Gulf countries including the UAE

Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan’s upcoming war film Border 2 is set to release in theatres on January 23, 2026. However, the film will not be screened in several Gulf countries. According to reports, the movie has been banned in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, leaving fans in these regions disappointed ahead of its release.

As per an industry source, films perceived to have “anti-Pakistan” content often face release issues in the Gulf belt. Despite efforts by the makers, Border 2 could not secure clearance in these countries. A similar ban was earlier imposed on Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which still went on to become a massive box-office success worldwide.

Meanwhile, Border 2 is witnessing strong advance bookings in India. The film has already sold around 60,000 tickets at major cinema chains. Apart from Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, the film also stars Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh.

Panchayat Season 5 Release Date Confirmed….?

Fans of Panchayat may soon return to the calm yet complex world of Phulera. According to current updates, Panchayat Season 5 is officially in development, with writing already underway. If production stays on schedule, the much-loved series is expected to stream on Prime Video around mid-2026. Like previous seasons, the makers are taking time, focusing on storytelling rather than rushing the release.

The core cast including Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav and Sanvikaa is expected to return. Season 4 ended on a major political turn, with Kranti Devi defeating Manju Devi to become Phulera’s new Pradhan. This shift is likely to drive the central conflict in Season 5, bringing new power struggles, humour and village drama.

Alongside politics, Sachiv ji’s personal journey will continue to evolve. With its emotional simplicity, relatable characters and rural charm, Panchayat Season 5 promises warmth, realism and engaging twists
