🎬 Magudam review: A masala film that drags on

Vishal's directorial debut, Magudam, is described as a poorly executed masala film attempting to copy past successes. The movie features Vishal and Dushara Vijayan, and runs for a hefty 185 minutes. It tries to blend gangster tropes with family drama, but the execution is amateurish and contrived. The narrative suffers from poor editing and unbelievable plot holes throughout the runtime. Ultimately, the film makes the three-hour experience feel like a genuine punishment for the viewer.

⚽ Silva's hype signals midfield issues for Real Madrid

Bernardo Silva is gaining major importance at Real Madrid ahead of the 2026/27 La Liga season, despite many expecting him to be a backup. Manager Jose Mourinho strongly favors Silva as a key starting defensive midfielder for the team. While Real Madrid narrowly won a friendly 1-0 against Deportivo La Coaruna, Silva was the standout player in that match.

🤖 AI agents start agreeing without instructions

Researchers found that 1,000 AI agents spontaneously reached consensus without any central direction or reward. This study, published in Science Advances, used models from Claude, GPT, and Llama families to test this behavior.
