PORTO: Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel are in Porto as anticipation rises for Saturday’s all-English Champions League final in the Portuguese city that was picked as a last-minute host.

It’s the third final of Europe’s top club competition to include two Premier League teams, and the second in as many seasons, demonstrating the cash-rich English game’s power. 

And these are the two clubs whose changes under mega-rich foreign owners over the previous two decades have had the greatest impact on the Premier League’s landscape.

The west London club had a head-start in terms of becoming big-spenders and as a club they have the experience of this stage in Europe before, having beaten Bayern Munich on penalties on their own turf in the 2012 final.

They have also won the Europa League twice since then.

City, though, have never made it this far but are finally here, after 13 years of enormous investment from the Gulf and four previous years of disappointment.

Porto is one of the most lovely final host cities, with its cobblestone alleys falling down to the shoreline, which looks across the Douro River to the Port wine warehouses on the other side. 

On Friday, English supporters began to congregate on cafe terraces beneath dazzling blue sky. The Estadio do Dragao has been allowed to be filled to 33 percent capacity by Portuguese authorities.

Many more people are likely to show up in the city without having purchased tickets. 

Cops in Portugal have described coping with such a large influx of English fans as “a really sophisticated operation.”

Kajol Samyuktha In Maharagni

Bollywood’s beloved Kajol is set to return to the silver screen in the highly anticipated action-thriller “Maharagni: Queen of Queens,” alongside Malayalam actor Samyuktha, who is making her Bollywood debut. The film promises to showcase intense action sequences, with both lead actresses performing their own stunts, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

Action-Packed Performances

In an interview with News 18 Showsha, Samyuktha expressed her admiration for Kajol’s dedication and versatility, highlighting how the actors took on the challenge of performing the stunt scenes themselves. The duo recently completed filming crucial action sequences, which have been a major part of the movie’s production.

“We had a blast!” Samyuktha shared. “The action director they brought in from abroad planned everything wonderfully. It’s been an incredible experience, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”

A Unique Perspective on Female Action Heroes

Samyuktha also discussed the film’s approach to featuring women in powerful, action-packed roles. She mentioned a conversation with director Charan Tej Uppalapati about the vision for “Maharagni.” “The discussion was all about why should boys have all the fun?” she said. “Maharagni is a true-blue commercial film packed with songs and fight sequences, and the action is being done by us. It’s very interesting to be a part of a film like this.”

Samyuktha’s Journey and Kajol’s Legacy

Samyuktha, known for her performances in Malayalam cinema, made her debut in the film “Popcorn” and has since appeared in notable projects such as the Telugu action-saga “Devil: The British Secret Agent” and the romantic-horror “Love Me.” She recently completed filming the Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam action-thriller “Ram.”

Kajol, on the other hand, has an illustrious career in Bollywood, with iconic roles in films like “Baazigar,” “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” “Fanaa,” “My Name is Khan,” and “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.” Her latest appearance was in “Lust Stories 2” (2023).

As the film nears its release, fans eagerly anticipate seeing Kajol and Samyuktha in “Maharagni: Queen of Queens,” a film that promises to break new ground in showcasing strong female leads in action roles.

Arjun

In a light-hearted and humorous incident at a recent event hosted by the Ambani family in Mumbai, Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor had an unexpected encounter with US social media influencer Julia Chafe and her husband, Bruno. Julia shared the amusing story on Instagram, detailing how Bruno interacted with Arjun multiple times during the event.

A Starstruck Encounter

Julia’s Instagram video recounts how Bruno first met Arjun Kapoor, introduced by fashion designer Prabal Gurung at the star-studded Ambani wedding. Clearly excited, Bruno exclaimed, “I was like, the movie star?” He even managed to snap a picture with Arjun.

The story didn’t end there. Bruno ran into Arjun again at a party the following night. He eagerly approached the actor, saying, “Arjun, what’s up?” To which Arjun responded, “Yes, I remember you from last night.” In a moment of fan admiration, Bruno said, “You’re in Gunday, right?” Arjun confirmed with a good-natured “Yes, yes, yes.”

An Invitation to New York

Bruno’s enthusiasm peaked when he told Arjun, “They don’t make actors like you in America. You gotta come to New York. The actors here suck. We need you.” Arjun, seemingly amused, wrapped up the conversation with a simple “All right. Bye.” As Bruno shouted, “Bye, Arjun,” Julia noted that Arjun seemed to roll his eyes, possibly in a mix of amusement and mild exasperation.

The final encounter happened as Julia and Bruno were rushing to catch their flight back to New York. Spotting Arjun on a golf cart, Bruno couldn’t resist shouting another goodbye, cementing what he humorously perceived as a budding friendship.Julia’s post, titled “How Bruno Harassed Bollywood Star #ArjunKapoor at the #AmbaniWedding,” captures this playful interaction, giving fans a glimpse into the sometimes quirky encounters celebrities have with their admirers.

After a dip on Monday, the film saw a slight recovery in its earnings on Tuesday, showcasing a promising trend as it continues to attract audiences across India.

Box Office Performance

According to Sacnilk.com, “Bad Newz” has garnered approximately ₹37 crore in India as of day five. The film, which premiered on July 19, had an opening day collection of ₹8.3 crore. It continued to perform well over the weekend, earning ₹10.25 crore on day two and ₹11.15 crore on day three. However, the film experienced a decline on day four, with earnings dropping to ₹3.5 crore. On Tuesday, the box office collection slightly improved, bringing in ₹3.75 crore, leading to a total of ₹36.95 crore.

Plot Overview

“Bad Newz” takes a unique comedic approach, exploring the rare phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation. The story centers on a woman, played by Triptii Dimri, who becomes pregnant with twins from two different fathers, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk. The film is seen as a spiritual successor to the 2019 hit “Good Newwz,” which featured an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh.

Critical Reception

While “Bad Newz” has been noted for relying on some stereotypical portrayals, such as Punjabis’ love for rajma chawal and the trope of ‘mumma’s boys,’ it also includes cleverly crafted meta-jokes. Notable moments include references to Dimri as ‘Bhabhi 2’ and ‘National Crush,’ as well as a playful nod to Kaushal’s character preventing Virk from discarding a photo of Katrina Kaif, humorously stating, “Iske liye toh tujhe meri laash se guzarna hoga” (you’ll have to go over my dead body).

Stay tuned to Mumbai Uncensored News for more updates on the box office performance of “Bad Newz” and other Bollywood releases.
