As the clock struck midnight to welcome the New Year, the makers of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit unveiled the first-look poster of the upcoming film featuring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. Soon after its release, several social media users poked fun at similarities, joking and questioning whether it was a mere cut-and-copy job.

Dhurandhar collected over Rs 10 crore at the Indian box office on its 4th Wednesday, taking its 28 days domestic total collection closer to Rs 800 crore net mark.

With that, 2025 comes to an end! Bollywood celebrities bid an emotional, candid, and fun-filled farewell to the year. Some enjoyed romantic date nights, others got cosy in each other's arms, while many ticked off items from their bucket lists. Here's a glimpse at how the stars closed the chapter on 2025 and embraced 2026 with open arms.

On New Year's Eve, a video of Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara Tendulkar, from Goa went viral, showing her strolling on the streets while drinking beer. Netizens shared mixed reactions, with many objecting to her drinking beer in public, as it was on the streets rather than in closed premises like a club. Several users held the view that open drinking is not permitted even in Goa.

Kartik Aaryan's film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri was released on December 25, but after it failed to garner numbers against Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, the actor re-shared a post that referred to Dhurandhar as a testosterone-boasting film. Following backlash over the post, Kartik Aaryan deleted the comment.

Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Love & War's release date has been postponed yet again and there is a possibility that the other projects that these stars have lined up might suffer.

Congratulations are in order for Raihan Vadra, the son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and businessman Robert Vadra, who is now engaged to his longtime girlfriend Aviva Baig, according to reports. Raihan Vadra, 25, recently proposed to Aviva Baig, his girlfriend of seven years, and she said yes.

These looks by Bollywood stars were not at all bad; however, they were certainly disliked by netizens and hence went on to become rather controversial and bizarre fashion moments of 2025.

Dharmendra's last film, Ikkis, will be released on January 1, 2026. A special screening of the film was held on Monday evening, hosted by the Deols for the media. Celebs in attendance included Shweta Bachchan, Sunny and Bobby Deol with his wife Tanya and their son Agastya Nanda, Rekha, Salman Khan, and others. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Esha, and Ahana Deol skipped the screening.

The trailer of Prabhas's upcoming film The Raja Saab was dropped on Monday, 29 December 2025, and ever since, rumours have been rife that the actor has found love. He is reportedly dating his The Raja Saab co-star Riddhi Kumar.
