Netflix is walking away from its offer to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming business, in a stunning move that effectively puts Paramount in a position to take over its storied Hollywood rival. On Thursday, Warner’s board announced that Skydance-owned Paramount’s latest offer to buy the entire company for $31 per share was superior to the agreement it had previously struck with Netflix. Warner gave Netflix four business days to come up with a counteroffer — but Netflix instead responded less than two hours later, declining to raise its proposal. It said the new price it would have to pay made the deal “no longer financially attractive.”“We believe we would have been strong stewards of Warner Bros.′ iconic brands,” Netflix’s co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said in a join...

Psycho Saiyaan arrives with promise, a psychological thriller starring Tejasswi Prakash, Anud Singh Dhaka and Ravi Kishan, and a premise that hints at mystery and emotional complexity. Unfortunately, what unfolds is a frustratingly uneven film that struggles to keep its audience engaged, leaving more questions about its execution than its story. All about Pyscho Saiyaan`s plotline Right from the beginning, Psycho Saiyaan wrestles with its own identity. The narrative attempts to balance psychological intrigue with mainstream dramatics, but ends up satisfying neither. The writing feels muddled and cluttered, with twists that seem forced rather than earned. Instead of building genuine suspense, the film leans on predictable turns and tired tropes that do little to elevate the viewing experi...

I have written original plays. Lyrics happened [later],” he said, when we got on a call. Starring Kirkire, Zahan Kapoor, and Shalini Pandey, Bandwaale revolves around three small-town artistes who come together to form an unlikely band. Music, naturally, is the spine of the Prime Video series. That’s precisely where Kirkire believes streaming platforms initially faltered. “I think OTT platforms initially didn’t fully understand the power of...
