SRK classics and 12th Fail to screen in inflatable theatres at IFFI 2025

Imagine watching Shah Rukh Khan spread his arms, Vikrant Massey’s inspiring journey, and the pulse-racing rescue of a friend, all inside a fully equipped inflatable theatre? In a special collaboration, the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) have partnered with mobile digital theatre pioneer PictureTime Digiplex to install state-of-the-art inflatable cinemas in the upcoming 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. SRK classics and 12th Fail to screen in inflatable theatres at IFFI 2025 Known for bringing cutting-edge inflatable cinemas across the country, and especially in underserved regions, PictureTime will be setting up a state-of-the-art theatre at the prestigious Kala Academy campus-one of the festival’s main event hubs. The 2025 edition of IFFI will begin on November 20 and close on November 28. The inflatable theatre will screen a vibrant mix of titles across four categories: Inspirational Films, Indian Panorama Classics, Nostalgia, and Children’s Cinema. For the first time ever, three Shah Rukh Khan classics Chak De! India, Darr, and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be showcased in the inflatable cinemas. Joining them are Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s acclaimed 12th Fail, the Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, Rajkummar Rao’s Srikanth, Rani Mukerji’s Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! Irrfan Khan’s celebrated Qissa, and classics like Satyajit Ray’s Shatranj Ke Khilari, Vijay Anand’s Teesri Manzil, Yash Chopra’s Chandni and Kala Patthar, among others. There will also be special movie screenings for school children every day, featuring titles like Kaphal: Wild Berries (Hindi), Gattu (Hindi), Banarasi Jasoos (Hindi), The Prince and the Crown of Stone (English) and Naal 2 (Marathi), among others. Beyond the main venue, PictureTime will also roll out open-air screenings across multiple sites in North and South Goa enabling local residents to access festival films. Sushil Chaudhary, Founder & CEO, PictureTime Digiplex, said it is an honour for PictureTime to collaborate with NFDC and ESG for IFFI. Their association with the event began in 2017 when the team organised Bioscope Village. “Bringing our mobile digital movie theatres to a festival of this scale underscores how far this technology has come from remote villages to one of the world’s most respected film events. Our goal has always been to democratise cinema, to take high-quality film experiences to audiences who may never have had access to such spaces, and IFFI gives us a powerful platform to demonstrate that mission in action. “This year’s programming ranging from Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic classics to acclaimed contemporary titles like 12th Fail and Manjummel Boys reflects the diversity and cultural richness of Indian cinema. We are especially excited about the screenings curated for children and young students, because nurturing early audiences is essential for the future of film appreciation. “With the Kala Academy inflatable theatre and our units enabling open-air screenings across Goa, we hope to create a festival experience that is immersive, inclusive, and truly celebratory of Indian cinema’s storytelling power. PictureTime remains committed to innovating how cinema is created, consumed, and accessed across the country,” he added. The inflatable theatre at Kala Academy is expected to welcome over 1, 000 visitors daily, ranging from global delegates and film professionals to school groups and cinephiles. Open-air screenings across Goa are projected to draw an additional 300-400 viewers per location, daily.

Harshvardhan Rane joins John Abraham starrer Force franchise; actor reveals he will take the legacy forward

Harshvardhan Rane, who is currently basking in the success of his recent action romance *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*, has officially joined the cast of one of Bollywood’s most popular action franchises, *Force*. The announcement has generated massive buzz, as the actor revealed his association with *Force 3* through a heartfelt post on social media.

Harshvardhan Rane joins the John Abraham-starrer *Force* franchise; the actor reveals he will take the legacy forward.

Taking to his Instagram story, Harshvardhan shared a photo of himself at the revered Trimbakeshwar Temple in Maharashtra, dressed in a traditional dhoti and performing prayers. Alongside the image, the actor made the exciting revelation, writing, “John Abraham locks Harshvardhan Rane for taking *FORCE* franchise forward, under him.”

Expressing his gratitude towards John Abraham, who headlined the first two installments, Harshvardhan added, “All I can do at this moment is thank this angel of a man called John Sir, while I look upwards and thank whoever is doing this from up there. Can’t wait to begin shoot in March 2026. (No other details till I begin the shoot.)”

The *Force* franchise, known for its high-octane action and emotional depth, first hit theatres in 2011 under the direction of Nishikant Kamat. The film, starring John Abraham and Genelia D’Souza, became a fan favourite for its gripping storyline and powerful action sequences.

It was followed by *Force 2* in 2016, directed by Abhinay Deo, with Sonakshi Sinha joining John Abraham in an espionage-driven narrative that expanded the series’ universe.

With *Force 3*, the franchise now enters a new chapter as Harshvardhan Rane steps in to carry forward its legacy. While plot details remain under wraps, the actor’s inclusion has already sparked speculation about a fresh storyline and a new wave of stylized action.

Harshvardhan, who rose to renewed fame earlier this year following the re-release of his romantic drama *Sanam Teri Kasam*, has been on a strong career trajectory. His recent hit *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat* continues to perform well at the box office, and he also has *Silaa*, a fantasy romance action drama co-starring Sadia Khateeb and Karan Veer Mehra, in the pipeline.

With *Force 3* expected to begin filming in March 2026, fans can look forward to seeing Harshvardhan Rane bring his signature intensity to one of Bollywood’s most adrenaline-fueled franchises.

Farhan Akhtar and Raashii Khanna to visit Jodhpur for emotional tribute on the day of 120 Bahadur trailer launch

As anticipation builds for the trailer of *120 Bahadur*, a powerful war drama based on the legendary Battle of Rezang La, actors Farhan Akhtar and Raashii Khanna are set to mark the occasion with a deeply emotional gesture. On November 6, the duo will visit Jodhpur to pay tribute at the memorial of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC—the heroic soldier whose extraordinary courage inspired the film.

According to a source close to the production, the visit has been planned as a heartfelt homage to the late war hero and the values of bravery, sacrifice, and patriotism that *120 Bahadur* celebrates. “Farhan Akhtar and Raashii Khanna will be visiting the memorial of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, in Jodhpur on the day of the trailer launch. This visit is being organized as a mark of deep respect to the Major and his indomitable spirit,” the source revealed.

In a touching gesture, the actors will first showcase the trailer privately to Major Shaitan Singh Bhati’s son, Narpat Singh Ji, and his family before unveiling it to the public. This moment is expected to be one of solemn reflection and national pride, highlighting the real-life heroism that forms the core of the film.

Directed by Razneesh “Razy” Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment in association with Trigger Happy Studios, *120 Bahadur* stars Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh and Raashii Khanna as his wife, Shagun Kanwari Singh. The film chronicles the heroic defense of Rezang La during the 1962 Sino-Indian War, where 120 soldiers of the Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment—all from the Ahir community—stood their ground against a 3,000-strong Chinese force, inflicting over 1,300 casualties despite being vastly outnumbered.

Major Shaitan Singh Bhati was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honour, for his extraordinary bravery. *120 Bahadur* aims to bring his story and the valor of his men to a new generation of audiences. The film is slated for a theatrical release on November 21, 2025.

4Chan user checks out bunker his paranoid grandfather created, inside they find human remains and faces carved into the walls

**Disturbing Discovery in Grandfather’s Secret Bunker: A 4Chan Mystery**

In 2012, a chilling story surfaced on 4Chan, where an anonymous user shared a disturbing discovery about their recently deceased grandfather. Although the original post was deleted shortly after it was made, screenshots of the message and accompanying images have continued to circulate online. The eerie nature of the story has made it a popular subject for true crime YouTubers and creators who focus on unsolved internet mysteries. One such YouTuber, known as Coop, documented the case while including screenshots of the original post.

### The Grandfather’s Creepy Bunker

The original poster (OP) began by explaining that their last living grandparent, an 89-year-old grandfather, had passed away. The grandfather was said to be a World War II veteran who was deeply paranoid about the possibility of another war erupting at any moment. To prepare for what he believed was an inevitable apocalypse, the grandfather had built a secret bunker.

At one point, the OP recalls asking their grandfather about the bunker. The response was chilling — the grandfather warned them to stay away, labeling the bunker as “just a ____.” The OP couldn’t quite catch the last word but thought it sounded like “ah Sioux air,” leaving the exact meaning mysterious and unsettling.

### Exploring the Bunker

After the grandfather’s death, the OP decided to investigate the bunker, expecting to find typical survival supplies such as rations and tools for enduring a nuclear war. What they discovered, however, was far more disturbing.

Navigating through winding tunnels carved into rock, the OP came upon a large iron door secured with a padlock. The lock was rusted enough to be broken open, and inside, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.

Deeper within one room, the OP found a cross carved into the stone wall, surrounded by numerous faces also carved into the rock. Photos shared along with the post reveal these unsettling carvings, which add to the mystery’s haunting nature.

### A Gruesome Discovery

Things took a darker turn when the OP noticed what appeared to be a human bone beneath some debris on the floor. More bones seemed to emerge from the concrete itself. Adding to the terror, the OP claims to have heard laughter echoing through the tunnels before fleeing the bunker as quickly as possible.

### What Was the Bunker?

No updates from the original poster have surfaced since then. Speculation has run rampant online. Some suggest the bunker might have been used by the grandfather as a subterranean burial site for loved ones. Another 4Chan user proposed that the word the grandfather used to describe the bunker — which OP misheard as “ah Sioux air” — could have been “ossuary,” a term for a place where human bones are kept.

### Fact or Fiction?

This story remains an internet mystery, shrouded in uncertainty. How much of it is true, and how much might be fabricated? The fact that the OP deleted their post soon after sharing it raises questions. What would be the motivation for inventing such an elaborate lie only to remove it so quickly?

We may never know the full truth about the grandfather’s bunker or the origins of the disturbing tale. For now, it remains one of those eerie stories that continue to captivate and unsettle those fascinated by unsolved internet mysteries.

‘Battling Between Good and Evil’: Ex-Wife of DMX on Marriage, Struggles, and the Day She Met Jesus

Tashera Draughn met Earl Simmons when she was just 11 years old. She dated him for 10 years before marrying the man who would later gain fame as the rapper DMX.

During a recent conversation with CBN, Tashera shared about her marriage to the hip hop legend.

“This was always his dream. He knew that he was gifted with his talent, which I didn’t really see it for what it was until it actually, really happened. But he said, ‘This is how we going to make it out the hood,’” Tashera said.

She recalled how married life started off easily, then turned into a nightmare after DMX’s meteoric rise in the music world.

“In an industry where it is the devil’s playground, where morals and values are out the window, I watched my best friend gain the world,” she explained.

It is widely known that DMX struggled with drug addiction, which led to legal battles and multiple stints behind bars. Later in his career, the Grammy-nominated rapper, who often spoke about God, began to incorporate his love for God into his lyrics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, DMX used social media to lead thousands in a Bible study and pray for salvation.

“He’s the one who introduced me to Christ,” Tashera explained. “I knew that he knew he was being used for Christ. But I saw the constant fight he was battling. He was battling between good and evil.”

That evil included the pain of marital infidelity and abuse.

“To be totally transparent, I was lost,” said Tashera. “I lost myself. I lost my soul in that marriage. If it wasn’t for my oldest son saying that one day, he said, ‘If the next time I see my father and hear him abusing you verbally, I’m going to kill him.’”

Those words from 14-year-old Xavier served as a wake-up call for Tashera to take her family and leave.

“I saw the look in his eyes and I realized that if you’re not going to do it for yourself, Shera, you have to do it for your children,” Tashera said.

In 2025, while separated from her husband, Tashera, who grew up a Muslim, said she experienced a spiritual encounter that set her on a new path.

“I didn’t know Jesus the way I should have, so I was in the closet,” she explained. “Things were going really bad. It was going really left, and I cried the hardest cry. I mean, it was from my soul. It was from my spirit. I did not know what else to do. I felt warmth, a peace that I’ve never ever experienced before. And at the time, it was scary. But when I had to replay it, it was Jesus because I was crying out, ‘If You were real, You would come see me. You would show me Your love. This is not what You say You’re about.’ And that’s what I was saying in that moment, and then He came.”

The experience is just one of many Tashera shares in her latest book, *Dying to Self*, which outlines her transformative journey.

“The industry that I was birthed in is the devil’s playground, and there’s so many women and men out there that they think they know, but they have no idea. And I felt like it was time. I owed it to Jesus to let the world know that, had it not been for Him on my side, I don’t know where I would be,” Tashera said.

In 2014, Tashera and Earl divorced, and on April 9, 2021, at the age of 50, DMX died after suffering a heart attack.

At his funeral, Tashera shared about the love God had for Earl and his sincere desire to serve Christ.

Today, Tashera is on a mission to share the healing and hope she has found.

“Jesus Christ is love. I mean, that’s the only way I could really fully say it, because I didn’t know what love was until I found His love, His unconditional love, the love that when I mess up, when I make mistakes, when I get distracted, He’s still sitting there.”

It is a love that has made a strong impact on Tashera and Earl’s children, who experienced their own challenges growing up in the home of the late rapper. Her youngest son Sean was recently baptized after committing his life to Christ.

“Our Godly Father has picked them up and turned their lives around. And they don’t have depression anymore. They don’t cut anymore. They don’t feel abandoned anymore because of the love of Jesus Christ.”

Mark Henry reveals he used to exchange Christmas cards with a surprising legend

Mark Henry has been a prominent figure in the wrestling industry for a very long time. Recently, he revealed an interesting piece of his past—that he used to exchange Christmas cards with a surprising legend.

Before Mark Henry became known as the “Hall of Pain” and went on a dominant rampage in WWE, he was recognized for his comedic talents. He participated in many funny and memorable skits alongside several stars, including the legendary Mae Young. These moments not only showcased Henry’s personality but also helped prepare him for his eventual role as a main event player.

During this comedic phase of his career, Henry also appeared in a few entertaining segments with Paul Reubens, the actor famously known for portraying the iconic character Pee Wee Herman. Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer took to social media to share that he and Reubens used to exchange Christmas cards, until Paul Reubens became too ill to continue sending them back.

Henry tweeted,
“I wasn’t always just Hall of Pain. I could do comedy with the best of them and Pee Wee Herman was very cool. We would send Christmas cards until he got too sick to send them back!”

### Mark Henry Feels Disrespected by AEW

After leaving WWE, Mark Henry joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he embraced multiple roles such as coach, talent scout, mentor, commentator, and more. He remained with Tony Khan’s promotion until last year and served as a strong influence on many of the company’s wrestlers.

One notable example is Powerhouse Hobbs, who currently uses a version of Henry’s signature finisher, the World’s Strongest Slam—though AEW has renamed the move to the “Most Dangerous Slam.”

Speaking on *Busted Open Radio*, the WWE legend expressed his displeasure over AEW’s decision to rename his finisher. He said he felt disrespected by the move, making his feelings crystal clear:

> “They called it the Most Dangerous Slam. They don’t call it the World’s Strongest Slam. They’re like, ‘F*** Mark Henry.’ F*** you, how about that? That’s to whose decision that is [to rename the slam]. You cannot disrespect me and expect me to kiss your a** about it. I’m not gonna do it. I’d rather be fired or kicked off the air before I let somebody feel like they all got power over me.”

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “World’s Strongest Man.” For now, Mark Henry continues to be a respected and influential figure in the world of professional wrestling.

Bouchard scores in OT to give Oilers 3-2 win against Blackhawks

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Evan Bouchard scored 2:43 into overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.

Leon Draisaitl contributed a goal and an assist, while Jack Roslovic also found the back of the net. Connor McDavid recorded three assists for the Oilers, who have now won two of their last three games. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 27 saves in the win.

For the Blackhawks, Tyler Bertuzzi and Andre Burakovsky scored in the loss, which marked Chicago’s second straight defeat and their third in the last four games. Spencer Knight stopped 27 shots in the net.

In overtime, Bouchard capitalized on his own rebound to secure the win for Edmonton.

The Oilers took a 2-1 lead on their second power-play goal of the game with 2:43 remaining in the second period. McDavid delivered a precise pass to Roslovic, who scored his second goal of the season.

Burakovsky evened the score for Chicago at 3:19 of the third period, forcing the game into overtime.

In a milestone for Edmonton, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins played in his 972nd career game with the Oilers, passing Ryan Smyth for the second-most games played in franchise history. Nugent-Hopkins has recorded 13 points in 13 games this season.

Draisaitl’s power-play goal just 54 seconds into the second period extended his points streak against Chicago to 19 games, dating back to October 28, 2018. This is the longest active streak by any NHL player against a single team. During this stretch, Draisaitl has accumulated 15 goals and 22 assists against the Blackhawks.

Additionally, Draisaitl is enjoying an eight-game overall points streak, with six goals and six assists during that span.

**Up Next:**

How to get tanks in Battlefield 6: REDSEC

**How to Get a Tank in Battlefield 6: REDSEC**

Battlefield 6: REDSEC wouldn’t live up to its name without vehicles, and grabbing a tank in the battle royale mode is easier than you might think. If you’re familiar with the game’s mission structure, securing some heavy armor is a straightforward process.

### Completing Missions to Obtain a Tank

To get a tank in Battlefield 6: REDSEC, you need to complete one of two mission types. The first involves completing one of the default missions, where one of the rewards can be a golden vehicle keycard. These keycard reward missions are neither harder nor easier than other missions, so you can take your time completing them.

If none of your current missions offer the golden vehicle trailer keycard as a reward, it’s possible that tanks aren’t available nearby. However, if you know there’s a vehicle trailer in the vicinity, allow your missions to cycle a few times. There’s a good chance a mission awarding a tank will eventually appear.

Once you complete the mission that rewards the golden keycard, claim the card and proceed to the nearby vehicle trailer. Insert the keycard, and after a slow but dramatic opening animation, you’ll be able to hop in and drive the tank inside.

### The “Tank Hunter” Mission

There’s also another way to get a tank: via the “Tank Hunter” mission. This mission tasks you with seeking out an enemy squad’s active tank and either destroying or commandeering it.

Stealing a tank isn’t the smoothest option but can dramatically shift the battle in your favor. To commandeer it, you need to force the enemy squad to abandon the tank—usually by severely damaging it so they panic and jump out.

At this point, one of your squad members must quickly jump into the tank and survive long enough for it to be repaired, provided you have an Engineer on your team. However, it’s difficult to avoid destroying the tank in the process, and convincing the enemy squad to leave it behind is often unpredictable.

### Final Thoughts

Like many aspects of Battlefield 6: REDSEC, acquiring a tank can sometimes feel like a roll of the dice. Whether you choose to earn your golden keycard or bravely hijack an enemy tank, tanks remain a powerful asset on the battlefield. Good luck out there!
