India is the ONLY country in the world to award an ‘A’ rating to The Devil Wears Prada 2

Many people who watched *The Devil Wears Prada 2* on May 1st and 2nd expected it to have lots of nudity, intimacy, or violence. That's because the movie was given an 'A' rating. But once people left the cinema, they realized there was nothing even close to adult content in the film—neither in the dialogue, the scenes, nor the story. Almost everyone agrees that *The Devil Wears Prada 2* is a family-friendly movie and that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) should have given it a U/A or even a 'U' rating instead.

 Bollywood Hungama checked ratings from censor boards in various countries and found that in India, the movie is only allowed for people aged 18 and older. In Switzerland, it's open to anyone over 6. In Finland, Denmark, and Spain, anyone over 7 can watch it. In Ireland, you need to be 8 or older, and in Belgium and the Netherlands, you need to be 9. Turkey gave it a 10A rating. In all these places, kids can watch it if they are with an adult.

In Brazil, Hungary, Malta, the UK, Oman, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, and Ukraine, the film is rated 12.

 In Argentina, Bahrain, Indonesia, Singapore, the US, and the UAE, you need to be over 13 or have an adult with you. In Lebanon and Vietnam, it's rated PG13 or T13, meaning kids under 13 can't watch it.

In Australia and Saudi Arabia, it's rated M or PG15.

 People under 15 can watch it if they're with an adult or are over 15. In Kuwait, you can't watch it if you're under 15, and in Russia, you can't watch it if you're under 16.

In Egypt, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, the film has a 'Parental Guidance' rating.

 Finally, in 11 countries like Bulgaria, France, Germany, and Thailand, it has no age restrictions and can be watched by anyone.

This brings back memories of *La La Land* (2016), which had family-friendly content but also got an 'A' rating in India.

 Just like *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, almost every other major country in the world allowed younger audiences to watch it.

So the question is: what exactly did the CBFC see in *The Devil Wears Prada 2* that the rest of the world didn't?

 When countries around the world found the film suitable for younger audiences, India's 'A' rating seems not only harsh but also confusing. At a time when the film industry is trying to bring families back to theaters, such confusing ratings can hurt movies, exhibitors, and audiences. But despite the 'A' rating, *The Devil Wears Prada 2* is doing very well at the box office in India. Still, the CBFC should explain why this happened.

Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh are having a meaningful on-screen conversation in the film Raja Shivaji, which is now playing in theaters. The movie, which started showing in cinemas on May 1, 2026, has already drawn a lot of interest from the public.

Riteish Deshmukh, who plays Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the film, says that the king is like the first superhero.

 He also mentions that his interest in Shivaji started from when he was a child, which helped him prepare for the role.

Ajay Devgn also talks about how dedicated Riteish is to the film and how he is confident that Riteish can bring the character to life with real feeling.

 Their conversation is an example of the film’s main idea, which is to show the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to today’s audience.

Although only a short clip of their conversation has been shared so far, the full video is expected to come out soon.

 The clip has already been getting a lot of attention online, which has helped increase the movie's visibility after its release.

Raja Shivaji is produced by Mumbai Film Company and presented by Jio Studios.

 It is supported by Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh. The film is a big-scale historical drama that brings the story of a famous warrior king to the screen.

Raja Shivaji is being shown in both Hindi and Marathi.

 It aims to combine big production values with a strong story, and it brings back an important part of Indian history. As the film continues to play in theaters, more promotional material is expected to be released in the coming weeks to keep people interested.

When talking about Keerthy’s approach to her character, the director said, “If you had become a lawyer instead of entering cinema, just be as natural as that, be yourself.”

 He also highlighted her growth as an actor, adding, “I think Mahanati is her benchmark, and in this film, she has reached the next level. She delivers exactly the emotions required, in the right measure. She carries the entire film on her shoulders. From the beginning, her performance keeps rising scene by scene. She holds the emotional core of the film.”

The film, titled Sathyavan Savithiri, is set to explore a compelling courtroom story.

 On May 1, the makers released a new poster showing Keerthy alongside actor Mysskin, who plays her senior advocate. Sharing the poster, the team wrote, “The battle begins! One will break. One will rise. Second look of #SathyavanSavithiri is here!” giving a hint of the intense legal drama ahead.

The story follows Keerthy’s character, a determined lawyer who strongly supports truth and justice.

 However, things get complicated when she starts doubting her senior’s position in a case that seems morally unclear. As the story progresses, new revelations shake her beliefs, leading to a major conflict at the heart of the film.

Alongside Keerthy and Mysskin, the film includes a strong supporting cast featuring Heartbeat Charukesh, Balasaravanan, Madhusudhanan, Shilpa Manjunath, R Sundararajan, Brigida, Mala Parvathi, and A Venkatesh in key roles.

Written and directed by Praveen S Vijay, the film also features music by Sam C S, adding to the anticipation for its release.

 With powerful performances and a deep, layered story, Sathyavan Savithiri is set to be one of Keerthy Suresh’s most impressive projects in recent times.

Sayani Gupta earns praise for Glory, shares emotional note on balancing show with her short film Aasmani

Sayani Gupta is getting lots of positive feedback for her new series Glory, which recently started on Netflix. She plays Joyna Hazarika, an investigative journalist who is trying to solve a complicated murder case. Her performance is being praised for being very real, especially when she portrays an Assamese character.

While the show was being released, Sayani shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the set on social media.

 These pictures showed her working with co-stars like Divyendu Sharma, and also with the creators Karan Anshman and Mohit. The images also included some moments from the wrap party and look tests.

In a detailed message, Sayani talked about how she has worked with Karan and Mohit for a long time.

 She mentioned working on Indie Edge and Baar Baar Dekho, which were a fun film and a popular show with three seasons. It was a big deal for her to see them create @atomicfilmsin and then make #glory for @netflix. Karan had told her three years ago that he was writing something for her. When she finally read the script, she felt really grateful. The shoot for Glory was scheduled at the same time as her film Aasmani. For two whole weeks, they tried to find dates that worked for both. Everyone was worried about it.

She explained how the scheduling issue was finally settled.

 She said, “@nishant_pandey0612 Arif @operationfail @hindol_deb and I finally figured it out. I was scared I might lose out on this beautiful collaboration that I was so grateful for. Not every day you get to work with friends you love. Most of the photos are from when I had to travel four hours at 3 in the morning to shoot one scene at sunrise before leaving for an outdoor schedule for @4moreshotspls. We wrapped the show that day. I left with a heavy but full heart. I love this team with all my heart. What a beautiful set of comrades and collaborators. It all worked out. It always does.”

Looking back on a meaningful week in her career, Sayani added, “This week we had the Aasmani World Premieres (2) and won two awards, and Glory was released today.

 Such a huge full circle. Hand in hand, step by step, we created the show and my film together. Me, as an actor in one and creator in the other. Both processes were satisfying and both I am so grateful for. Life is full of surprises in the most magical ways.”

Glory features Pulkit Samrat and Divyendu in lead roles, along with Surinder Vicky, Jannat Zubair Rehmani, Kashmira Pardeshi, and Vishal Vashishth in key roles.

 The series tells the story of a broken family brought together by a tragic event, exploring themes like ambition, morality, and consequences.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do trailer launch: Ayushmann Khurrana clarifies, “We are NOT promoting any infidelity; Prajapati Pandey is a green flag…I got my kids to watch the edit of this film”

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh, Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mudassar Aziz, Bhushan Kumar, Juno Chopra, and Shiv Chanana were at the trailer launch of *Pati Patni Aur Woh Do* in Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The trailer shows the male lead cheating on his wife. But Ayushmann said the movie does not send any bad message.

Ayushmann said, "It's an iconic franchise from the family of B R Films and Juno Chopra.

 It started in 1978 with Sanjeev Kumar sahab. A film from the series came out in 2019, and now, in 2026, we are back with *Pati Patni Aur Woh Do*. I’ve always been a fan of Sanjeev Kumar sahab and the story that started there. Many films have come after that. But the way Mudassar Aziz has brought the story idea in a classic way is really brilliant."

He continued, "I won’t call it a romcom.

 I’ll just call it a pure comedy. There’s more comedy than romance with these four characters. At the same time, my character of Prajapati Pandey is a green flag! His moral compass is completely correct."

As expected, the attendees were surprised.

 Ayushmann explained, "We are not promoting any infidelity because it's a family film. Everyone will enjoy this film. It’s just a comedy of errors. It’s not like Prajapati is having an extramarital affair."

Later, Rakul Preet Singh added, "This character is a bechara.

 He’s not doing anything wrong. As Ayushmann rightly said, our film is not promoting infidelity or an extramarital affair. It’s a comedy of errors and it happens with many people. We do things one way, people think another way, things turn out another way, and perspectives change. That’s why many people will be able to relate to it."

Ayushmann further said, "I want to do films that my kids can watch.

 In fact, I got my kids to watch the edit of this film! They really loved it. My benchmark is there. If kids are loving it, then I’m sure it’s a wholesome family film. I’m sure people are waiting to see a laugh riot. They haven’t seen such a film in a long time."

*Pati Patni Aur Woh Do* releases in cinemas on May 15.

Box Office Prediction: Despite Aamir Khan’s full-throttle push, Ek Din set for disastrous start; PR and marketing fail to create even basic awareness

This Friday, the movie Ek Din is finally coming out, but it seems like not many people even know it's releasing in theaters. Even though Aamir Khan has put in a lot of effort to support and promote his son Junaid Khan's film, the marketing and public relations for the movie have not worked well. The film opened its advance booking weeks ago, but there hasn't been much interest, conversation, or excitement from the audience.

On paper, it looked like another bold experiment from Aamir Khan.

 But in reality, it's not working. Early advance bookings only work if there is real curiosity, demand, or excitement. In the case of Ek Din, there has been almost no trend, no momentum, and no sign that people are eager to watch it. The strategy has actually shown how unappealing the film is rather than building excitement.

What's even more surprising is that the film had several opportunities to create awareness through teasers, trailers, songs, and promotional events.

 But none of these efforts made an impact. The campaign is so quiet that it feels like it's not even trying. In today's market, even smaller films need strong marketing to do well, and Ek Din has arrived with the energy of a film that's counting on people being kind instead of showing up on its opening day. That's not a safe plan, especially when the audience hasn't shown any natural interest so far.

The bigger problem is that this isn't just a lack of buzz — it's a complete failure in communication.

 If Aamir Khan's name, his active support, and the early booking strategy couldn't generate excitement, then the marketing has definitely not worked. There was no hook, no urgency, no emotional connection, and no good reason for people to go to the theaters on the first day.

For Junaid Khan, this is his second movie in theaters, and the opening is likely to be much weaker than the one for Loveyapa.

 Loveyapa at least had some awareness and opened to about Rs. 75 lakhs. Ek Din, on the other hand, might not even reach Rs. 50 lakhs on its first day. In fact, even hitting Rs. 50 lakhs might be considered a success rather than an expectation.

Sai Pallavi makes her Bollywood debut with Ek Din, but the kind of start the film is facing might not give her the kind of visibility she was hoping for in Hindi cinema.

 For wider recognition across India, she may now have to rely more on her work in Ramayana than this film.

As things stand, the opening is expected to be very weak, and the failure of the promotional campaign may end up being one of the main topics people talk about regarding the film.

The photos have gone viral just days after Deepika Padukone shared that she is expecting her second child.

 Her presence on the set has started a lot of discussions among fans, with many praising her for managing her career while entering a new stage in her personal life.

King is one of the most highly anticipated Hindi films coming up.

 It has a strong group of actors, including Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, along with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, and Jaideep Ahlawat.

The film is especially important for Suhana Khan, as it's her first big-screen role after her debut in The Archies.

 Fans are looking forward to her big screen debut alongside her father, Shah Rukh Khan.

Even though the story details are not officially shared, the leaked images have made people even more curious about the film's scale and style.

 With Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone coming together again after successful roles in the past, audiences are excited to see what King has in store.

The film is planned to come out in December 2026, with a release date set for December 24.
