Pokémon has Always Been Woke: Embracing Diversity Since 1996: How Pokémon Was "Woke" Before It Was Cool.
From its inception, Pokémon subtly conveys messages of diversity, the strength of connection, and the power found in differences. Despite this, some online critics claim Pokémon has become "too woke." However, this complaint, common across many franchises, isn't about the game suddenly transforming into a "political" statement on issues like climate change or capitalism.

War 2 box office collection day 5: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR film crashes on first Monday with 76% dip, earns just ₹7 crore
The buzz around War 2 was massive before release. With Hrithik Roshan reprising his role from the first film, Jr NTR making his grand Hindi film debut, and Ayan Mukerji at the helm, expectations couldn’t have been higher. The film opened strong over the extended weekend, but the cracks were already beginning to show by Saturday. Now, with its first Monday numbers in, the picture is much clearer—and not in a good way.

War 2 Box office collection day 5: Hrithik Roshan’s movie inches closer to Rajinikanth’s Coolie, needs Rs… more – Will it pass Monday test?
Yash Raj Films’ action franchise War returned with a bang this Independence Day, and expectations couldn’t have been higher. With Hrithik Roshan reprising his role and South superstar Jr NTR making his much-anticipated Bollywood debut, War 2 was always going to open strong. And it did. The film hit theatres on August 14 and raked in massive numbers over the first four days. But here’s the catch: after that initial rush, the momentum is starting to slow down.

War 2
A few years have passed since the last really fun entry in the Yash Raj Spy Universe, Bollywood’s star-studded approximation of a Desi-fied, Marvel Cinematic Universe-type franchise. “Tiger Zinda Hai,” led by series fixture Salman Khan, boasts a well-balanced combination of light-hearted action and romance, combined with a level of patience and technical polish that made it easy to get lost in the series’ corny, saber-rattling antics. The other movies in the Yash Raj Spy Universe have ranged from dull to outright embarrassing, as in Shah Rukh Khan’s unfortunate comeback vehicle “Pathaan.”

"Beyond the Gates" Week 24 Review
This week's Beyond the Gates recap is brought to you by the letters O, M, F, and G. So there's quite a bit to unpack from this past week of this amazing, iconic soap.

War 2 box office collection day 3 (updated live): Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR film is steady, beats Sikandar's lifetime haul
A Slow Start Turns into a Comeback Maybe the opening day was an unexpected hiccup for Yash Raj Films’ War 2. The much-hyped spy thriller didn’t exactly shatter records on its release day, but the film has since picked up steam in a big way. By Independence Day, momentum had shifted. The Hindi version in particular benefited from the holiday, delivering numbers that reassured both fans and trade analysts.

Deadpool Confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday Cast, But There’s a Twist
Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool is finally ready to make the leap into the world of ensemble MCU movies, but when he arrives in Avengers: Doomsday, it won’t be in the way fans might expect. The irreverent, fourth-wall-breaking character has always stood apart from the rest of Marvel’s more polished heroes, and it looks like Marvel intends to keep it that way.
