business Dhamaal 4, starring Ajay Devgn, is wrapping up its run below Raid 2 despite being the top film in the franchise. On Tuesday, day 26, it earned 1.11 crore worldwide, with 1.06 crore from India. In total, its 26-day worldwide gross stands at 229.48 crore. This performance means it will remain Ajay Devgn’s 6th highest-grossing film globally. The film is now 13.09 crore away from surpassing Raid 2. 📉
business Raghav Juyal's debut solo lead film, Bhai Tera Star Hai, is facing a tough start at the domestic box office. It was released on July 31, clashing with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, leading to a low screen count. Over six days, the film earned a net total of 1.02 crore, which is disappointing for a comedy. Collections dropped sharply after the initial opening, showing little growth over the weekend. The film is now expected to end its extended opening week under 1.5 crore, facing a big loss. 📉
business The Odyssey has achieved a major milestone, grossing 150.26 crore net at the Indian box office. This success is attributed to the film's performance across 19 days, starring Christopher Nolan in India. On day 19, the movie earned an estimated 2.15 crore, which is a 7.5% jump from the previous day. This achievement makes it Nolan's first 150 crore net grosser and the 8th highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country. The film is now aiming for a lifetime collection between 170-175 crore net.
health A UK cohort study found that disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) may increase the risk for eating disorders (EDs). This research was conducted on over 1.25 million people in the UK. The study recorded a 0.7% prevalence for EDs and 13.4% for IBS across the analyzed group. Depression emerged as an independent risk factor for EDs among those with DGBI. The findings suggest the need for early screening of psychiatric comorbidities in patients.
health Approximately one in six patients developed new or worsening hormonal deficits after pituitary adenoma surgery. The study, led by Daniel Ameen, analyzed 2350 patients across several countries between 2015 and 2022. Patients with significantly larger baseline tumor volumes showed a strong link to these postoperative endocrine issues. Gross total resection was shown to reduce the risk compared to subtotal resection in these cases. This suggests monitoring tumor growth could help limit hormonal compromise risk.
health Researchers identified a blood biomarker that might let hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients skip chemo. The study involved 1,556 women under 55 at The University of Kansas Cancer Center and Emory University. Findings showed low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels meant no benefit from chemotherapy for many. This offers a more biologically meaningful way to assess ovarian reserve than age or menopausal status. Future trials are needed, but this points toward personalized cancer treatment. 🔬
health Specialists at the International Congress on Obesity 2026 in Mexico City stressed that GLP-1 drugs and bariatric surgery should integrate, not replace, each other. Experts noted that both pharmacotherapy and surgery have limitations, requiring a patient-centered care model for better outcomes. Official guidelines combining these therapies were first published in 2024 by IFSO. While drugs help in earlier stages, surgery offers greater weight loss magnitude for extreme obesity. The future points towards a combined approach, starting minimally invasive and escalating as needed. 🩺
SpaceX's recent activities have caused some nervousness among investors across the market. Meanwhile, Qatar has confirmed that diplomatic talks concerning the Hormuz Strait are moving forward.

health Cardiotoxicity is a big issue because heart complications can mess up cancer therapy completion. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis to see how heart failure therapies protect heart function in cancer patients. The analysis included 49 studies involving 6998 patients, examining drug classes like RAAS inhibitors and beta-blockers. RAAS inhibitors showed a 2.88% LVEF improvement, and the RAAS/beta-blocker combo improved it by 2.98%. Further randomized trials are needed to better understand newer cardiovascular treatments in cardio-oncology. 🩺
health Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay virtually inaugurated five new health sub-centres and additional government buildings across Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, and Tirupattur districts on Tuesday. These new facilities replaced old, dilapidated health centres in tribal areas of the district. The construction, funded partly by the 15th Finance Commission, cost an average of ₹45 lakh per health centre. Residents of remote villages, like Nayakkeneri, previously had to trek long distances for basic healthcare services. These new centres will provide essential care, including maternity and immunization, ensuring better local access. 🏥
VIT Chennai has launched a dedicated centre to scientifically study traditional Tamil knowledge and games. This initiative is under the Indian Knowledge Systems division of the Union Ministry of Education. The centre will investigate how games like Pallanguzhi and teachings from Thirukkural boost cognitive functions. Researchers will test specific abilities, such as visuo-spatial skills from Aindhu Kal. The goal is to reintegrate these ancient practices into younger generations' lives.
