The Karnataka High Court has accepted Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s unconditional apology in the controversy linked to his alleged mimicry of a character from Kantara: Chapter 1 during a public event last year.

Dug Dug trailer out: Ritwik Pareek’s debut explores faith, mystery and a "wish-granting" bike

A lost bike, a found belief system. The trailer of debutant filmmaker Ritwik Pareek’s Dug Dug offers a first glimpse into the film’s whimsical world— a comedy-mystery satire that playfully navigates faith, magic and logic. The trailer was unveiled by its four executive producers, Anurag Kashyap, Nikkhil Advani, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vasan Bala, who have come together to present the film. “God only knows what games he plays,” opens Dug Dug, as a character recounts the death of a villager—setting the tone for what follows. The mystery deepens when the bike the man was riding goes missing from a police station, only to reappear at the exact spot where he died. Inspired by true events, Dug Dug traces a bizarre phenomenon in a village where a deceased man’s motorbike is believed to grant wishes—provided devotees pray to it and offer alcohol. As word spreads and prayers begin to be “answered,” belief spirals into a full-blown, commercialised religion. The trailer establishes the film’s...
