Sam Heughan and Outlander fans, we have good news to share with you! Of course we love to see the actor as the one and only Jamie Fraser, but that doesn't mean we don't also love supporting the cast in other projects. One of the intriguing ones us in the U.S. have been waiting to see is The Couple Next Door starring Heughan himself. There's finally a premiere date, but it's a little longer than promised.

In July 2024, Starz shared that the psychological drama was set to begin streaming and airing in winter 2024. So perhaps a December release is what was assumed. However, The Couple Next Door will premiere Friday, Jan. 17, 2025 on Starz. Now, look. I know the wait is not that much longer than what we'd been anticipating. I'm just so excited to see the show, and it's a little annoying the debut is being pushed slightly. But,...

The Couple Next Door is moving in again.

Channel 4 has renewed the psychological drama for a second season after the first became the UK network’s biggest scripted streaming launch on record, with episode one garnering more than a million views in its first seven days.

Channel 4 co-produced Season 1 of The Couple Next Door with Starz, but the Lionsgate brand was not mentioned in the press release for Season 2. Deadline has asked about Starz’s involvement.

Season 2 will feature a new cast, led by Sam Palladio (Nashville), Annabel Scholey (The Split), Aggy K Adams (The Witcher), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (One Piece). Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered) will return. Production is underway in Belgium. Season 1 starred Eleanor Tomlinson and Sam Heughan.

The One Piece live-action has been exceptional with its casting. From the first season to now the second, not a single cast member has disappointed so far.

While for some the announcements at first may seem doubtful and skeptical, it is best not to judge talent before it can be perfectly executed. The main cast of the series has showcased exactly that and it would be unfair not to let the new cast members have a chance either. However, there is one character that will appear in future seasons whose perfect live-action counterpart already exists.

It has already been confirmed that the second season will follow the Alabasta Saga, which holds much importance in the series’ overall narrative. Thus, the casting of the characters that are specifically related to the Alabasta storyline is of the utmost significance for maintaining the authenticity of the original plot.

However, the recent announcement of the casting of Nefertari Cobra, the 12th king of the Arabasta Kingdom, has raised some questions in the minds of One Piece fans. This is because Eiichiro Oda, the series creator, took inspiration from Ancient Egypt for Alabasta,...

From the story to the music to the performances, every aspect of this romantic drama has left the audience impressed.

Do Aur Do Pyaar, starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Ileana D’Cruz, was released in theatres on April 19, 2024. This romantic comedy, directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta, mostly received positive reviews. It tells the story of a married couple in Mumbai who have forgotten what it’s like to love each other. The husband and wife find comfort and affection in someone else, but circumstances remind them of how much they were in love in the past, reigniting their romance.

Suprotim Sengupta, Amrita Bagchi, and Eisha Chopra wrote the film’s story. What makes “Do Aur Do Pyaar” such an endearing watch is the rawness in its execution and how authentic the emotions of love and heartbreak feel. Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi’s chemistry is also a winner. Koimoi spoke to the film’s director, Shirsha Guha Thakurta,...

Vidya Balan is very grateful for all the love, positive responses, and rave reviews she has received for her performance in Do Aur Do Pyaar. Directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta and also starring Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, Do Aur Do Pyaar is a modern rom-com that talks about love and its importance, complexities, and realities hidden behind the happy ever after.

On being asked about her experience working with debut Director Shirsha, she expressed, “Shirsha is a fantastic storyteller. While working with her I got a sense of that she’s an absolutely self-assured in terms of her craft. She’s not trying to impress you which you can see beautifully in the film also. She enjoys the process of storytelling and that comes through. I felt it during the process of making the film ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ with her and I felt that while I watched the film multiple times.

Ileana D’Cruz has proved her acting chops with some versatile roles in films like Jalsa, Pokiri, Nanban, and Rustom. She made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with Anurag Basu’s directorial Barfi. But did you know she lost South film offers because people thought she would never do regional films again? Scroll below for the unknown trivia.

Barfi is a period romantic comedy starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Ileana D’Cruz in the lead. The film turned out to be a super hit affair at the box office with collections of 120 crores net from India alone. Ileana also won the 58th Filmfare Award for the best female debut.

While Ileana D’Cruz enjoyed rave reviews and widespread appreciation for her performance in Barfi, she unfortunately missed out on many South film opportunities. She revealed to India Today,...

The lackluster phase of Hindi cinema is here. Probably the dullest week of the month happens to be here. Out of all, two theatrical releases are scheduled to happen this week. One of them is Do Aur Do Pyaar. Despite having a trustworthy star cast including Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy, the film has no buzz and no excitement among the audience.

Do Aur Do Pyaar marks the feature film debut of director Shirsha Guha Thakurta. She explores the concept of extramarital affairs and conflicts in marriage and love. But is the Indian audience ready to accept a bold and unconventional concept? The current scenario at the box office won’t permit them to do so. With a reduction in people’s attention span, a complicated love story might test patience.

The music of a film plays an important role in building hype for a film.

Do Aur Do Pyaar

Starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy

Director: Shirsha Guha Thakurta

Set aside half a star extra for Vidya Balan’s sterling performance. That apart, Do Aur Do Pyaar is a far superior work to almost every film you’ve seen this year. It is breezy and lighthearted, but never frivolous. Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta dives deep into a marriage in crisis. Miraculously, she finds a lot of laughter and humour in the crisis. This in no way trivializes the marital conundrum.

The writing is clearly the star of the show. When you add an actor of Vidya Balan’s calibre to what’s from the outset, a screenplay woven from the threads of real life, the end result is bound to be something special.

That, Do Aur Do Pyaar (why the bland title for such a grand film?) is. It is a...

Vidya Balan shines in this witty remake that sees a married couple, both cheating on each other, on the verge of breaking up

The algebra of love is a multiple-choice conundrum in Shirsha Guha Thakurta’s debut, a witty remake of Azazel Jacobs’ romance The Lovers starring Debra Winger.

In the film, the weight of marital distance is etched on to every frame. Twelve years into their marriage, Kavya (Vidya Balan) and Ani (Pratik Gandhi) have run out of affectionate words. Revolving around allergy medicines and bin bags, their daily conversations have gone terribly stale. At the same time Kavya finds comfort in the arms of handsome photographer Vikram,...
