The big-budget epic movie Ponniyin Selvan 1 from Mani Ratnam is now having a dream run at the box office. It has broken the 400 crore club globally and, according to trade sources, will easily make another 120 crore to bring its lifetime gross to above 500 crore. Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada versions of the movie were released in theatres all over the world.
Arulmozhivarman (Ponniyin Selvan), who would later become Chola Emperor Rajaraja I, is depicted in PS 1 as a young man (947–1014). Arulmozhivarman is played by Jayam Ravi in the movie, and other prominent characters include Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, and Aishwarya Rai.
On Tuesday, industry observer Ramesh Bala tweeted that PS 1 had earned 400 crore. The movie has surpassed Rajinikanth’s 2.0 to become the all-time biggest grossing Tamil movie in the US.
PS 1 is anticipated to continue its great run in theatres till Diwali, according to dependable trade sources. During the duration of its run over the following few weeks, it is anticipated to make an additional 120 crore rupees.
Over the weekend, PS 1’s gross in Tamil Nadu exceeded 150 crore rupees. It is currently the second-highest grossing movie in the state, trailing only Vikram, a movie starring Kamal Haasan that made almost 190 crore.
After a decade, the movie marked Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s return to Tamil cinema. In addition to portraying Queen Nandini, Aishwarya also briefly appears as her deaf mother Mandakini Devi. At the time of its debut, Aishwarya’s performance greatly impressed both viewers and critics.
In a recent interview, Mani Ratnam stated that the sequel to the franchise will hit theatres in another six to nine months and that the crew is now working on post-production.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
