The second season of The Traitors has started with high drama, unexpected eliminations and accusations among the contestants. Hosted by Karan Johar, the reality show returned with its first three episodes, introducing viewers to a game filled with suspicion and betrayal. Comedian Munawar Faruqui became one of the biggest talking points after he was eliminated during the first Circle of Shaq. During the first round, Munawar openly accused Mallika Sherawat of being a traitor. However, his strategy raised suspicions among several contestants, who felt that he was behaving like a traitor himself. As the voting began, Munawar received the highest number of votes and was eliminated from the game. The actual traitors at that point were Kullu, Krystle D’Souza and Harman Singha, while Shahneel Gill was later recruited as the fourth traitor in the second episode. After his elimination, Munawar addressed the contestants and said that he had expected to be targeted. He said, “I had expected th...

Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) India has stepped up its efforts against the unauthorised use of copyrighted music at commercial venues. The copyright licensing organisation recently approached the Bombay High Court against Ballr, a luxury nightclub in Pune co-owned by actor Sanjay Dutt and Heramb Shelke, alleging that the venue had been playing copyrighted songs without a valid licence. In an order passed on August 7, the Bombay High Court granted ad interim relief to PPL and restrained the nightclub owners from publicly performing or using sound recordings from PPL’s repertoire without obtaining the required non-exclusive public performance licence. The case came to light after a PPL representative visited Ballr on June 24 and allegedly found several popular songs being played at the venue. The tracks included ‘ Badtameez Dil ’, ‘ Mauja Hi Mauja ’, ‘ Dard-e-Disco ’, ‘ O Saki Saki ’, ‘ Dus Bahane ’, Justin Bieber’s ‘ What Do You Mean ’ and Dua Lipa’s ‘ Levi...

The much-awaited Awarapan 2 has registered impressive advance sales, bringing cheer to the trade and industry. Its predecessor, Awarapan (2007), underperformed during its theatrical run, but over the years, it attained cult status, thanks to its emotional and mass-appealing moments, memorable music and Emraan Hashmi’s much-loved performance.
