The film will continue its run, holding the second spot in his top 10 global earners. 🎬
business The crime thriller film Haiwaan is set to release in theaters on September 11, reuniting Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after 17 years. The movie features Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan, following their success with Bhooth Bangla.

business Vishwanath And Sons, starring Suriya and Mamitha Baiju, is performing strongly in Kollywood this year. The film wrapped its third weekend in India by earning nearly 7 crore net in revenue. As of Day 17, the movie has grossed 116 crore net against a 130 crore budget. This means the film has recovered 89.23% of its budget so far.

If this momentum continues, the movie is set to move closer to the top 10 Hollywood grossers post-COVID. 🎬
health New research suggests that GLP-1 drugs could offer benefits beyond just managing diabetes and obesity. In an international cohort study, diabetic patients on GLP-1 drugs were less likely to develop TB compared to those on other medications. Another real-world study involving over 50,000 U.S. adults found tirzepatide lowered infection-related mortality risks. Experts suggest GLP-1 receptor agonists might boost the immune system directly, not just through blood sugar control. These findings add to evidence showing GLP-1 medications protect against serious infections. 🛡️
business The Odyssey has completed 45 days in Indian theaters, accumulating a total net collection of 185.20 crore. The film, starring Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon, is currently showing in India.

The Odyssey needs only 2.8 crore more to surpass The Jungle Book. 🎬
Researchers developed an algorithm to automatically design photonic quantum gates and circuits using optimization and pruning methods. This work was conducted by Javier Osca and Jiri Vala from institutions in Spain and Ireland. The algorithm successfully generated approximate and exact implementations of the cnot gate and circuits like Deutsch-Jozsa and Grover's. These implementations can then be integrated into larger quantum information protocols for future use. This advancement moves closer to practical quantum computing applications. ⚛️
entertainment Prithviraj Sukumaran’s action thriller, Khalifa, is reportedly heading towards a box-office failure despite a strong start. The film was released in theaters for Onam and currently stands at a worldwide gross of 42.59 crore. After 11 days, the movie earned only 0.93 crore on Day 11, bringing the net total to 19.57 crore. Negative reviews and competition from Bethlehem Kudumba Unit have slowed its momentum significantly. At this rate, Khalifa is expected to miss the 50 crore milestone globally. 😟
health Mechanical risk factors for venous thrombosis within 14 days before stroke were linked to cryptogenic ischemic stroke in young adults. The study involved 546 patients aged 18-49 years, including 47.25% women, in a multicenter case-control study. Mechanical VTRFs in the last 14 days were more prevalent in cases (15.4% vs 9.6%) and had an OR of 1.67. This link was stronger in those 18-39 years old and with a patent foramen ovale. Clinicians should assess these factors for young patients lacking conventional stroke risk factors. 🩺
health A trial found that one 30-minute evening exercise session protected long-term memory in young adults facing sleep restriction. Researchers conducted this randomized controlled trial with 88 healthy young adults at Concordia University in Montreal. The study tracked memory performance after sleep restriction versus exercise-plus-restriction during the period of August 26. The results showed that exercise offset memory deficits caused by limited sleep, mediated by slow-wave sleep. This suggests acute exercise could help hippocampal memory in people prone to sleep loss. 🧠
health MASLD management has fundamentally shifted as it now crosses primary care, endocrinology, and gastroenterology. Two major FDA approvals, Resmetirom in March 2024 and Semaglutide in August 2025, drove this change. New 2026 guidelines recommend FIB-4 screening for almost all T2D patients every one to two years. Specialists are now reserved for advanced fibrosis or complex cases, not initial screening. The bottleneck remains in second-tier testing capacity for indeterminate results. 🩺
