Triptii dimri sets the runway on fire in sizzling cut-out gown for a fashion event, internet calls her captivating

Triptii Dimri has become the talk of the town after her role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor. While her movie roles are to be credited for her popularity, her fans are also in love with the star's sartorial choices. Triptii is winning hearts during both her off-duty and work schedules. Last night, she set the internet ablaze as she walked the ramp at the Ajio Luxe Weekend event. She wore a lime green floor-length gown featuring elegant cut-outs. Scroll through to check out what Triptii wore and read our download on her look.

Triptii Dimri's showstopper moment delights the internet

A paparazzi page shared a video of Triptii Dimri walking the ramp at the Ajio Luxe Weekend event with the caption, "#TriptiDimri graces the runway in stunning attire, captivating the audience at #AjioLuxeWeekend." Triptii turned showstopper for the retail brand. The actor slipped into a gorgeous lime green ensemble to walk the ramp at the fashion event. Her fans loved the sartorial moments and took to the comments to drop their compliments. One fan wrote, "Everyone's new crush." Another commented, "She is just too gorgeous." Meanwhile, her ensemble is a great fashion pick for your beach or date night wardrobe.

Triptii first walked the ramp while wearing a Rabbit ears mask, which covered her eyes and came illuminated with sprinkling embellishments and lights. Later, she removed it to end the show.

Meanwhile, her lime green dress features a one-shoulder neckline, ruffled detailing on the borders and the dress, intricately-placed cut-outs on the neck, under the bust and thighs, a thigh-high slit on the front exposing her legs, and a floor-sweeping train on the back.

Triptii styled the ensemble with minimal accessories, including a silver statement ring and strappy gladiator-style kitten heels. Lastly, she chose striking glam picks to elevate the ensemble, including kohl-lined eyes, black winged eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, darkened brows, smoky eye shadow, glossy berry-toned lip shade, rouge on the cheekbones, and highlighter on the contours for the glam picks.

5 reasons to watch prasanth varma and teja sajja’s superhero film hanuman

The latest edition to the superhero genre from India, Prasanth Varma’s HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, Amritha Aiyer, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Vinay Rai in the lead roles, hit screens this Friday for Sankranthi. The film has received rave reviews nationwide, with many praising the cast and crew for pulling off the film on a limited budget. Here are our five reasons for watching the film. 

Prasanth’s story

Prasanth has a knack for picking wacky stories and entertainingly narrating them. If you see his debut film Awe in 2018, it’s one of the few films in south Indian cinema that dealt with the topics of mental illness, sexuality and gender in a sensitive manner. He followed that up with the 2019 film Kalki which proved that he can also pull off a commercial potboiler with a twist. The 2021 film Zombie Reddy, which incidentally also starred Teja, was a fun film about a zombie outbreak in Kurnool. And now, HanuMan delves into how a man from a small village gains superpowers when he comes across a totem.

The performances

HanuMan boasts of a stellar cast, not just with its four leads but also in supporting roles. Teja Sajja, Amritha, Varalaxmi and Vinay pour life into their characters, making us root for their characters or at least, approach them with empathy. When Teja is granted a superhero status from that of an underdog, you want him to know his worth. The same goes for Varalaxmi’s character. Getup Srinu and Satya have roles in the film that bring in light-heartedness, and so does Ravi Teja voicing a monkey with his trademark charm. The cameos by Sunishith and Rakesh Master also stand out, despite their limited screen time.

The VFX work

HanuMan was made on a limited budget compared to some of the star vehicles released across the country recently. Prasanth Varma once spoke to the press and revealed that he would use Chat GPT and Midjourney to make his vision come to life. The film’s CGI scenes help the fictional village of Anjanadri come to life, apart from a few animals. For the most part, the visual grammar of the film looks like something most filmmakers would require bigger budgets for. Fans who loved the film have also pointed out that the VFX in the film is noteworthy.

The intriguing characters

No matter how well a world is built, everything falls flat if the characters aren’t engaging. But Prasanth ensures that most of his characters are fleshed out so that they evoke empathy, even love. Teja’s Hanumanthu is, of course, the hero of this tale, someone who doesn’t know his own strength, much like the God Hanuman whom he gets his superpowers from. But Varalaxmi’s Anjamma and Amritha’s Meenakshi are anything but damsel-in-distresses, standing up to bullies just fine on their own. Even Vinay’s Michael gets a backstory that helps you understand how the same power could be used for evil if it falls into the wrong hands.

The cinematic universe

Prasanth is setting up his cinematic universe - Prasant Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) - with two films lined up after HanuMan. A sequel to the film, Jai Hanuman, is touted to be released in 2025. But before that, producer DVV Danayya’s son Kalyan Dasari will debut with Adhira, another superhero film which has already been announced. The first glimpse of the film shows how Hanumanthu wields a totem, the lead character in that film will gain powers akin to thunder and lightning.

Merry christmas box office collection day 1: vijay sethupathi and katrina kaif film mints just over 2 crore

Merry Christmas box office collection day 1: Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film released in theatres on Friday. As per Sacnilk.com, the film has earned just over ₹2 crore. Merry Christmas stars Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. 

Merry Christmas India box office

According to the report, Merry Christmas earned ₹2.55 crore nett on its first day for all languages as per early estimates. The film has been shot in Hindi and Tamil. The Hindi version also features Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand. The Tamil version stars Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Kevin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams in the same roles.

Merry Christmas review

The Mobile Masala  review of the film read, "Vijay delivers a standout performance, so flawless that you can't figure if he was actually playing the character or just being himself. After the villain in Jawan, seeing him in this mellowed avatar is quite refreshing. Katrina is class apart. Her expressions, body language and a restrained act never let her overpower the character. Though her emotional scenes looked a bit sketchy, but in rest of the portions, she manages to create the desired mystery around her character. I loved that Raghavan hasn't tried to make his characters look extra flamboyant or sensuous. There's a simplicity which you can sense - both in the character sketches and the narrative."

Atlee on Merry Christmas

Recently, director Atlee praised the performances of Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina. Taking to his X account, Atlee wrote, "#MerryChristmas! I've been waiting to write this one. My favourite narrative of recent times is a beautiful love story with an amazing thriller."

He added, "@VijaySethuOffl, you were pure class to watch, and the climax performance was woowwwwww. You're always an inspiration; keep inspiring us with such lovely films. Love you na @KatrinaKaifFB's work is stunning. #shriramraghavn, sir, what a film! It's a pure classic, written all over it. Add a blockbuster feather to your cap, sir."

The makers on Wednesday night hosted a grand premiere of their film in Mumbai. Several celebrities marked their presence at the star-studded premiere. Vicky Kaushal was also present to support his wife, Katrina. The couple walked hand-in-hand and posed in front of paparazzi stationed at the event.

Merry christmas first reviews: vignesh shivan praises katrina kaif, vijay sethupathi's 'outstanding performances'

The first reviews of Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif's thriller, Merry Christmas, are out and it seems filmmaker Sriram Raghavan is all set to deliver another gem after his 2018 movie, Andhadhun. Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan and few others watched the film before it hits theatres on January 12 and shared their praise for the film. 

Vignesh Shivan praises Merry Christmas

Taking to his Instagram Stories, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan wrote, “Absolutely awestruck by the outstanding performances from @actorvijaysethupathi & @katrinakaif in this superbly written thrilling screenplay from the genius @sriram.raghavanofficial takes us back to Alfred Hitchcock times @ipritamofficial's music is another major pillar, the last 30 mins is just tooo good! Enjoy it in theatres from Jan12th! Totally proud of you Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi! You just held it all together with effortless ease."

Other views on Merry Christmas

Film trade analyst Sathish Kumar M wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “#MerryChristmas is like a Vintage Thriller film with interesting scenes in the police station in the second half and climax with #SriramRaghavan’s style.”

An X user by the name of Delusional Amphibian wrote about the film, “#Merry Christmas - A Slow burning mystery drama which takes its own time to setup, builds to a crescendo & then pays off in the final act. Last 15 minutes is the film but for it to work, you need to invest in first 1.5 hours. You might think where this is all leading to but only in the final act you get to know Sriram Raghavan was holding all the cards till the end. In the climax, with no dialogues being said (but still so much being said) VJS walks away with all the applause! Anything more would be a spoiler. Watch it without comparing it with Andhadhun.”

Another by the name of Cine Observer wrote on X, “#MerryChristmas is a slow burn thriller that moves at a gentle pace for the most part. @VijaySethuOffl looks absolutely at ease and @KatrinaKaifFB looks ravishing as ever. The story is based on a French novel. #SriramRaghavan takes his time to get to the gripping part @proyuvraaj.”

Another tweet from the handle Films and Stuffs, read: “Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif completely held and shouldered the first half of #MerryChristmas, which led to the riveting second half. Peak chemistry.”

Merry Christmas has been shot in two languages, with different supporting actors. The Hindi version also features Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Pratima Kannan, and Tinnu Anand. On the other hand, the Tamil version stars Radhika Sarathkumar, Shanmugaraja, Kevin Jay Babu, and Rajesh Williams in the same roles. On Wednesday, a new song Raat Akeli Hai was unveiled from the film.

Teri baaton mein aisa uljha jiya: shahid kapoor and kriti sanon set hearts aflutter in the title announcement poster

Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon have teamed up for the first time for an "impossible love story." During the Jio event held in 2023, they offered a sneak peek of the film. After much speculation, they have officially announced the title of the film as Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. They made the announcement along with a new poster featuring the lead actors.

Official announcement of film title

Shahid and Kriti Sanon appear in the poster, getting up close and intimate with each other, almost lip-locking. Although the title shows a robot in it, we have to see how it comes into picture. There are reports circulating that Kriti, the robot in the film, develops feelings for the human character portrayed by Shahid. We have to wait for the teaser or a trailer to know more about the story.

While sharing the poster, Kriti captioned her post along with the release date, which is ahead of Valentine's Day 2024, on February 9.

After the clash between Yodha and Merry Christmas, which were earlier set for a release in December 2023, the makers chose the Valentine's Day 2024 weekend for the quirky love story, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.
