Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 1: There are films that announce themselves with thunder, and then there are films that walk in with legacy stitched into their spine. 45 belongs firmly to the latter category.

New Delhi [India], January 1: New year optimism lasted exactly one session. Indian tobacco stocks fall after the government quietly rewired cigarette taxes and markets reacted, fast and without mercy. Indian tobacco stocks fall was the story traders could not ignore on Thursday. Screens lit up red. Orders thinned. And by mid-session, it was obvious this was not a mood swing. It was policy colliding with profit. The finance ministry late Wednesday notified a new excise duty on cigarettes, effective February 1. No drama. No long speech. Just numbers. And those numbers hurt. Market leader ITC slipped 4.4 percent. The…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31: There are films that arrive quietly. And then there are films that arrive already apologising for the noise around them. Ikkis belongs to neither category. It arrived mid-conversation, mid-controversy, and mid-collision—between creative stubbornness and an industry addicted to optics. At first glance, Ikkis looks like an unlikely headline-maker. It doesn’t come wrapped in franchise armour. It doesn’t promise scale-for-scale destruction. It doesn’t flirt with algorithmic heroism. And yet, it has found itself entangled in debates about casting exits, box office survival, artistic refusal, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, a filmmaker choosing “less” feels like…
