    Sometimes the regular stuff on OTT feels stale and when you put a hot plate of food in front of you, as you scroll through movies to watch with lunch or dinner, the food gets cold and the vibe is still not set. If you feel the same way, then we got you covered. Here is a list of South Indian thrillers which are better than most Bollywood films:

    1. DrishyamStarting with one of the most famous movies out there, this one is a remake of Malayalam hit Drishya. The movie tells the tale of a family whose life is turned 180 degrees after a crime is committed in the name of self protection. Catch it on Prime Video.

    2. Anjaam PathiraThe Malayalam thriller follows a guy named Anwar who is a criminologist helping the Kerala Police with several cases of serial killers. Try to solve the mystery on MX Player.

    3. U-TurnStarring Samantha Akkineni and Aadhi Pinisetty, this is one movie that might give you the chills. It’s a supernatural film surrounding the story of an intern who is investigating accidents with a crime reporter.  The intern in return gets accused of being a murderer herself and that’s when the action unfolds. Catch it on Netflix.

    4. Vikram VedhaAs the name suggests, it is deeply Inspired and based on the old tale of Vikram Betaal and stars Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. Catch this crime drama of a cop chasing the truth on Disney+Hotsar.

    5. Mumbai policeThis Malayalam thriller follows a man named Antony Moses, who is undergoing a major struggle to revive his memory post an accident. You can enjoy this thriller unfold on Disney+Hotstar.

    After staying away from the Hindi film industry for almost nine years, Raashii Khanna is making a comeback with her debut web series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness. 
    The show also marks the OTT debut of Ajay Devgn and is an official remake of the popular British show Luther starring Idris Elba. 
    In Rudra, Raashii plays the character that was originally portrayed by Ruth Wilson.

    When asked about how she was approached for the role and how she got on board, Raashii exclusively told MensXP, “So, basically when they were looking out for Alia Chowksi’s role, as in when they were looking out for people to play her, I think they auditioned a lot of actors and they asked me also to audition for it. Because they were like, ‘Haan theek hai South mein ho and you are doing great but we need an actor and we would want you to audition for it. Will you be up for it?’ I said, ‘Of course’ because I haven’t seen Luther and they had sent me the script and they’d sent me the character brief and I was really excited because as an actor we wish to get something that is out of our comfort zone. And when I read about it, I was pretty excited to give the audition and I gave it very earnestly because I really enjoyed playing her. And somewhere in my heart, I thought maybe you know I should get it. And I did.” 

    She further added that after getting the role, she decided not to watch the original because she didn’t want to get influenced by Ruth Wilson’s performance. However, she knew that the actress got a lot of acclaim and accolades for her performance. 
    She also knows that she has a responsibility and there will be comparisons but she isn’t bothered by it. She is just happy that people are intrigued by her character from the trailer.

    When asked if she was nervous working with a superstar like Ajay Devgn also considering that her character is such she has to rattle him in the show. She responded, “So, usually I am not really starstruck in life. But, when I was going to work with him I knew that I had to have a certain comfort level because he is a superstar and you know there are chances I might get intimidated by him. You know there are chances and I was fully prepared for it. So I was like, ‘Sir I think will be intimidating’. Because he doesn’t talk much, that's what I felt. But the first day when I went, he just treated me like this buddy and he was like, ‘Aaja baith jaa and we’ll do our lines’ and I was like, ‘Hain! It’s so easy’, you know. I think it was only difficult in my head but when I sat with him and we read the lines I think it became very easy for me and I saw a co-star next to me and not a superstar, which I think is all thanks to him. I don’t think I would’ve pulled off 10 per cent of Alia if not for him and his support.”

    Filmmaker Aashiq Abu is returning to filmmaking after three years with Naradan starring Tovino Thomas and Anna Ben.  

    Recently, while promoting the political thriller, which also criticises the kind of yellow journalism in today’s day and age, Aashiq and Tovino were asked by Bollywood Hungama to comment on how media covered the Aryan Khan’s drugs case and now that it has been reported that NCB’s SIT didn’t find anything on Shah Rukh Khan’s son and there is no proof that he was involved. 
    Aashiq replied, “It was staged, it was planned.”
    Tovino then added, “I think that was the purpose and intention (to tarnish Shah Rukh Khan’s image). From whatever we know now it was to harm Shah Rukh Khan’s reputation, his son’s reputation. I mean it looks like that. I am not stating it but it looks like that.”
    Aashiq added, “That was the political intention, I believe.”
    The filmmaker continued, “See, it’s Aryan Khan so we know that. But back in Kerala also there are a lot of cases like this. They (media) don’t even care about giving a correction or saying they are sorry.” 
    Anna Ben then chipped in saying, “The worst part is that even if something is proven that it didn’t happen, that is not sensationalised. Nobody talks about that.” 
    “And people believe that there was some kind of manipulation that’s why he is cleared now. People tend to think that. They like to think that way,” added Thomas.
    When pointed out by the journalist that oftentimes it is the media that sets such narratives. Aashiq added, “It is very dangerous.”

    Only a few movies in Bollywood have managed to make a lasting impact on me, and no, I am not talking about the good ones here. Hell, I am not even talking about the bad ones here. I am talking about terrible ones, like Ram Gopal Verma’s Aag, Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan and well, Yash Raj Films’ Tashan.

    Released back in 2008, this movie was from the era where film banners would simply pick up a starcast and begin making a movie without having so much as a clue about what they were doing. Don’t believe me? Watch the movie... Or actually, on second thoughts, don’t.

    © YRF
    The film starts with introducing Jeetendra Kumar Makhwana a.k.a. Jimmy Cliff to us who is played by Saif Ali Khan. Jimmy works as a  call centre executive, however, also teaches English as a part-time gig. 

    Within the first few minutes of the film, Jimmy falls in love with Pooja, who had just shown up to his call centre, asking him to give her private English tutoring. Is it just me, or does this feel a little too realistic in Saif & Bebo’s case?..

    Jimmy, who readily agrees, later realizes that she had tricked him into saying yes, because the real student was in fact her boss - Lakhan Singh Ballebaaz a.k.a. Bhaiyyaji (Anil Kapoor). A top-class gangster and the most cringe character in the movie. For the next couple of minutes, predictability takes centre stage and Jimmy & Pooja fall in love with each other, because what other angle does Bollywood even know?

    © YRF
    All is going well, until one day when Bhaiyyaji gives Pooja the bashing of a lifetime. Jimmy, who is as good as furniture in this scene, witnesses the showdown, only to later grow the balls and diss Bhaiyyaji (behind his back of course). 

    © YRF
    Somehow, after listening to a sob story from Pooja (that barely even qualifies as one) about how she needs money to scatter her grandmother’s ashes in Haridwar, the two lovebirds decide to steal Bhaiyyaji’s money and fly away.

    © YRF
    Except, Jimmy’s wings are clipped the moment he realises the truth behind Bhaiyyaji and his horrific criminal past. As he rushes home to warn Pooja, he finds out that he’s been played like a child’s Russian roulette because Pooja is long gone, dancing in a bikini on chaliya chaliya. The very song & the very golden bikini played as a thirst trap into making people watch this hideous movie.

    Enter, Bachchan Pandey aka Akshay Kumar. The rowdy goon who gets hired by Bhiayyaji to track down our desi Bonnie & Clyde. Jimmy takes about half a minute to be caught and with him, Bachchan goes to Haridwar to catch Pooja. 

    © YRF
    Somehow, she escapes and in an attempt to find her, Bhaiyyaji’s car falls into the water. Turns out, she had been hiding in their car all along and is caught when she comes up to the surface of the water.

    © YRF
    Pooja then reveals how the money has been secured in 7 different places in India, all the while, fooling Jimmy once again by making him believe that they should run away with the money - this time without ditching the dumbhead. 

    © YRF
    She begins seducing Bachchan in her plot to make a fool out of him but finds out that they were childhood lovers, who got separated. Feelings get in the way, Jimmy gets hit on his arse by his sheer bad luck and everything goes to hell. They recover the money, and Bachchan leaves with it to return to Bhaiyyaji. But the clever little minx that Pooja was, she had replaced it with stones. 

    © YRF
    Knowing that it might lead to putting Bachchan in harm’s way, she tells Jimmy the truth (for the first time ever, not that he wouldn’t believe it even if it weren’t) about how her father was killed by Bhaiyyaji. And that makes into the most predictable, done-to-death Hindi movie plot ever - revenge and long-lost love. 

    © YRF
    The incompetent duo then reaches Bhaiyyaji’s lair and Jimmy pretends to betray Pooja, tricking Bhaiyyaji into putting his trust in Jimmy. He then asks Bhaiyyaji to hand his gun to him, so he can be the one putting a bullet in Bachchan’s head. And Bhaiyyaji, handed it right over to him because on top of being an absolute d**khead, he is also as stupid as apparently, the dangerous gangster that he is, gives away his gun happily because apparently, he was just that dumb.

    © YRF
    Jimmy points the gun to Bhaiyyaji, takes him hostage and flees with Bachchan and Pooja. Bhaiyyaji obviously jumps out of the car, because what is a movie without an expensive and pointless fight scene. 

    © YRF
    After 10,000 explosions, 500 slo-mo shots and absolutely unimpressive action, Pooja stabs Bhaiyyaji and kills him to satiate her thirst for revenge. Clearly, the girl had daddy issues to resolve.

    © YRF
    As the movie finally digresses towards its end, Jimmy is shown to have opened his own call-centre where only women work and Pooja and Bachchan get married. A rather ordinary end to an underwhelming film.

    The End.

    Akshay Kumar is one of the busiest superstars in Bollywood and also one of the highest tax payers, which automatically means he’s got more money than most of us in the country. Also, that means the ‘desi’ urge to buy more houses across the globe is higher and easier for a rich man like him. Here’s a list of some beautiful multi-crore homes owned by him:

    1. Beach house in MauritiusAccording to several reports, the Khiladi Kumar loves the beach and besides his beach facing home in Mumbai, he’s got a sprawling property in Mauritius as well.

    2. Portugese villa in GoaTaking his love for beaches further across the border of Maharashtra, a beautiful vintage Portugese villa which cost him around Rs 5 crores, serves as a good holiday home for his family when they need a quick getaway.

    3. Sea-facing Mumbai homeHis gorgeous house in Juhu facing the beach is a visual feast for anyone and made with a lot of love, courtesy his interior designer wife Twinkle Khanna.

    4. Hill in CanadaEveryone knows he holds a Canadian citizenship and the actor has several investments across the country, including a whole hill near Toronto.

    5. Apartments in MumbaiFew years ago, the actor invested in 4 apartments in a high-rise building in Andheri which cost him around Rs 4.5 crore per apartment.
