Trying To Get 'Free Tickets' For Dhurandhar 2? This Viral Trap Could Cost You Big

If you’ve recently come across links or QR codes claiming to offer free tickets for Dhurandhar 2, also known as Dhurandhar: The Revenge, it’s time to pause before clicking. A new online scam is quietly spreading across social media, targeting excited moviegoers. These posts often promise quick access to free tickets through so-called “viral templates” or QR codes.  But in reality, there is no official way to claim free tickets like this. With the film now released, the buzz at its peak, scammers are using the hype to mislead people. How Fake 'Free Ticket' QR Codes Are Being Shared Online The scam is mainly circulating through QR codes and downloadable templates that claim to unlock free tickets for Dhurandhar 2. These are often shared on social media platforms and editing communities, where users are encouraged to scan a code or download an image. Once scanned, these QR codes may redirect users to random websites or ask for personal information. In some cases, they are disguised as video editing templates, especially those linked to apps like VN.  While these templates appear to help users create reels, they are being used as bait to spread false claims about free movie access.  Users are strongly advised not to scan random QR codes for such offers. Scanning unknown codes can expose your phone to malware, phishing links, or data theft. Why Dhurandhar 2 Has Become A Target For Scams The scam comes at a time when Dhurandhar: The Revenge is already making headlines for its strong start. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film recorded around Rs 44 crore net collection from previews. According to Sacnilk, it also had about 12,292 shows with an overall occupancy of 46.7% on Day 0. With a cast including Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi, the film has generated massive interest. The first instalment had earned Rs 1,307 crore worldwide, which has only increased demand for the sequel.  Experts say that such high anticipation often attracts scams, especially those promising free tickets, something that is not possible through unofficial sources.

Viral Video Shows Couple Posing In Muddy Water For Pre-Wedding Shoot, Sparks Meme Fest

Pre-wedding shoots have become increasingly popular, with couples travelling to scenic locations and experimenting with creative concepts to stand out. However, one such shoot has recently caught widespread attention online for its unusual theme. A video that surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) shows a couple lying still in muddy water, dressed in white, as photographers direct them during the shoot. The clip, shared by a user named @rose_k01, quickly went viral and triggered a wave of reactions across social media. In the video, the couple is seen lying motionless with their eyes closed while the camera crew captures shots from different angles, even stepping into the muddy water to guide them.  A team of photographers was seen standing knee-deep in muddy water, carefully guiding the couple’s poses with professional focus. While the pair appeared to be aiming for a theme of “eternal love,” many social media users found the setting unusual and far from romantic. The video was captioned, “Pre Wedding Shoots are getting too weird,” as it circulated online. The exact time and location of the footage, however, could not be independently verified. Pre Wedding Shoots are getting too weird 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/xhVKjoZrVy — Rosy (@rose_k01) March 18, 2026 Social Media Flooded With Jokes And Memes While the concept appears to aim at portraying a dramatic or artistic expression of love, many viewers found the visuals unusual and unsettling. Several users remarked that the scene resembled something out of a crime or thriller sequence rather than a romantic pre-wedding shoot. As the video gained traction, it drew a flood of humorous reactions and memes online. Many users joked that the shoot looked more like a “crime scene” or a “post-mortem shoot” than a pre-wedding photoshoot. Some said they were initially alarmed before realising it was staged, while others questioned the need for such elaborate concepts. The caption accompanying the video, suggesting that pre-wedding shoots are becoming “too weird," also became a talking point among viewers. A user commented that he was scared for a moment without reading the caption. Another user jokingly wrote whether it is a pre-wedding shoot or a post-mortem shoot. Someone else wrote why take the risk of wasting money on a pre-wedding shoot when you can use AI to edit your photos. Apart from this, another user writes that if their children see this video after marriage, they will also be shocked. "When you learned to be a wildlife photographer but ultimately became a wedding photographer!" one user wrote. "When the budget says 'simple photoshoot' but the director says 'Titanic meets Gangnam Style,' next level: a couple drowning romantically while the drone films it in 8K for Reels," another commented. A third said, "Why risk and waste money on pre-shoots? Ask AI to edit your pictures however you want." "Are they getting married, or is this a sneak peek of the next season of Crime Patrol?" a fourth added.

IPL 2026 Injury Crisis: Five Major Stars Facing Uncertain Seasons

As the countdown to IPL 2026 begins, the excitement is being overshadowed by a growing medical room. Several franchises are facing high-stakes dilemmas as five of the league's most expensive and influential stars struggle with fitness, threatening to keep them on the sidelines for part - or all - of the tournament. 1. Harshit Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders) Injury: Right Knee Ligament Strain (Surgery) Status: Likely Ruled Out for the entire season. Impact: The rising Indian pacer, who was a revelation in previous seasons, sustained the injury during a T20 World Cup warm-up against South Africa. KKR has already begun looking for replacements, recently signing Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani as cover. 2. Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad) Injury: Back Stress Status: Set to miss the first half of the season. Impact: In a massive blow to SRH’s leadership, the franchise has confirmed that Cummins will miss the initial phase. In his absence, Ishan Kishan has been named the stand-in captain, with Abhishek Sharma as his deputy. 3. Matheesha Pathirana (Kolkata Knight Riders) Injury: Left Leg Calf Strain Status: Doubtful for the opening games. Impact: Bought for a whopping ₹18 Crore, the "Baby Malinga" is currently in rehabilitation. While KKR is optimistic he will return for the second half of the tournament, his absence at the start leaves a massive hole in their death-bowling department. 4. Josh Hazlewood (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) Injury: Hamstring and Achilles Tendon Status: Likely to miss at least the first two weeks. Impact: The Australian spearhead is still awaiting medical clearance from Cricket Australia. RCB fans will likely have to wait until mid-April to see the pacer who was instrumental in their 2025 title run. 5. Wanindu Hasaranga (Lucknow Super Giants) Injury: Chronic Hamstring Issue Status: Highly Doubtful for the start of the season. Impact: After missing the T20 World Cup, the Sri Lankan wizard’s recovery has been slow. LSG has already brought in West Indian spinner Gudakesh Motie as a backup, fearing Hasaranga may spend a significant time on the bench.

Eid Al-Fitr 2026: How Moon Sighting In Mecca Decides Eid Date Across The World? Know Here

At the heart of the Islamic world lies Mecca, a city that holds immense spiritual significance for Muslims across the globe. Home to the sacred Masjid al-Haram, Mecca becomes the focal point of devotion, especially during the holy month of Ramadan and the joyous festival of Eid al-Fitr. As Ramadan draws to a close, the focus naturally shifts to the arrival of Eid al-Fitr. This transition, deeply rooted in centuries-old tradition, is marked by the sighting of the crescent moon, which signals the end of fasting and the beginning of celebrations. ALSO READ: Eid-ul-Fitr 2026 In India: When Is Eid? Moon Sighting Date, Chand Raat And More The Moment That Marks A New Beginning In Mecca, anticipation builds as the final days of fasting approach. Families, scholars, and moon sighting committees turn their gaze toward the western horizon just after sunset, searching for the delicate crescent, known as the 'hilal.' This sighting signals the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar. This year, the much-awaited crescent was not sighted on the evening of March 18. Following this, authorities in Saudi Arabia confirmed that Ramadan would complete 30 days, pushing the celebration of Eid al-Fitr to March 20. The announcement was soon echoed across the Gulf region, with countries such as Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman also aligning their Eid celebrations with this decision, once again highlighting how a single moon sighting, or its absence, can shape festivities across nations. Why The Moon Sighting Matters In Islam The Islamic calendar is entirely lunar, meaning each month begins only after the new crescent moon is seen. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which follows fixed dates, Islamic months can be either 29 or 30 days. This makes moon sighting not just symbolic, but essential. The practice traces back to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, who instructed followers to begin fasting upon seeing the moon and to end it the same way. This tradition continues to guide millions, preserving a direct connection between faith and the natural world. How Mecca Influences Global Eid Dates While Muslims live across continents, many look toward Saudi Arabia, especially Mecca, for confirmation of Eid. Because of its religious importance, announcements from authorities in Mecca often shape celebrations in several countries. However, the date is not always uniform worldwide. Differences in geography, weather conditions, and time zones can affect visibility. For instance, a crescent seen clearly in Mecca might not be visible in parts of India or other regions on the same evening. This explains why some countries celebrate Eid on different days. Sighting vs Calculation: A Continuing Conversation In recent years, some communities have turned to astronomical calculations to predict moon visibility in advance. These methods can estimate when the crescent is likely to appear, offering clarity and planning convenience. Yet, many still prefer physical sighting, valuing the tradition and spiritual connection it brings. Even today, both approaches coexist, reflecting a blend of faith, science, and cultural practice within the global Muslim community.

Dhurandhar 2: When & Where To Watch Ranveer Singh's Film On OTT

With Dhurandhar 2 or Dhurandhar: The Revenge already on the big screens, people are highly curious about when and where the film will arrive on OTT. While Dhurandhar came to Netflix, the sequel seems to have taken a different route this time. The film has already created strong buzz with its opening response in theatres.  Given the scale, cast, and franchise value, Dhurandhar 2 can easily be called one of the most anticipated movies of 2026, making its digital release details a major point of interest for viewers. When Will Dhurandhar 2 Release On OTT? There is no official confirmation yet regarding the OTT release date of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. However, based on current industry trends and reports cited by Pinkvilla and India Today, the film is expected to follow a standard theatrical window.  Since it was released in cinemas on March 19, it may arrive on OTT within 45 to 60 days, likely around the second week of June or slightly later. The exact timing will depend on how the film performs at the box office in the coming weeks. The strong start may also play a role in delaying its digital release. The film recorded an impressive response during paid previews and saw wide occupancy across cities.  Reports suggest it collected over Rs 50 crore gross even before its full release day, as per Sacnilk. If the momentum continues, the makers may prefer to extend their theatrical run. Dhurandhar 2 Release On Which OTT Platform? The film is expected to stream on JioHotstar after its theatrical run. This marks a clear shift for the franchise, as the first part had been released on Netflix and performed well for a long time.  Reports indicate that the digital rights for the sequel have been sold for around Rs 150 crore, making it a major deal. The association with the platform was also hinted at earlier through promotional material and the trailer, where its logo was visible.  Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film stars Ranveer Singh along with Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun, adding to its overall appeal.

Virat Kohli Close To Record-Breaking Moment In IPL 2026; RCB To Enter History Books

Star Indian batter Virat Kohli is on the brink of scripting history in the upcoming season of Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kohli is closing in on a landmark achievement that could see him etch his name - and his franchise’s - into the record books. Kohli Eyes Historic 9,000-Run Milestone Virat Kohli needs just 339 more runs in IPL 2026 to reach the 9,000-run mark, a feat no player has achieved in the history of the tournament. If he gets there this season, he will become the first-ever cricketer to cross this milestone in the IPL. Since the inaugural IPL season in 2008, Kohli has been the backbone of RCB’s batting lineup. So far, he has scored 8,661 runs in over 260 matches, including 8 centuries and 63 half-centuries, maintaining an impressive average of around 39 and a strike rate above 130. Big Season Ahead for RCB Heading into IPL 2026 as defending champions, RCB will once again rely heavily on Virat Kohli's consistency at the top. If he manages to score the required 339 runs in the season, it will not only be a personal milestone but also a historic moment for the franchise. Orange Cap Winner Virat Kohli has also claimed the prestigious Orange Cap in the past, most notably in 2016 when he smashed a record 973 runs in a single season - a benchmark that still stands. With another big season on the horizon, all eyes will be on Kohli as he looks to achieve yet another iconic milestone in his illustrious IPL career. RCB Ready for Title Defense Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) enter IPL 2026 with a historic mission: defending their first-ever title. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar and the tactical guidance of Head Coach Andy Flower, the franchise has prioritized stability, retaining the core that broke the 18-year trophy drought in 2025. The defending champions kick off the season on March 28 at their fortress, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, in a high-voltage opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad. For IPL 2026, RCB have kept 17 players from their last year's winning squad, including the legendary Virat Kohli. High-value additions like Venkatesh Iyer (₹7 Cr) and veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar have bolstered RCB lineup's experience.

Audi A2 Electric Hatchback Launch Soon, To Be Brand’s Most Affordable Car

Audi is again making a hatchback and it is the new A2 which is coming back. Audi used to make a hatchback called the A2 way back in 1999 and it had very less fuel consumption with its frugal engine plus the construction. Now the A2 badge is back with the new electric A2. Based on the VW MEB architecture the new A2 is a going to be a crossover/hatchback and will be the entry level model in the Audi range and would be revealed later this year. It will be the most affordable Audi but also be quite premium in its pricing as well. Positioning, Features and Market Outlook The new A2 will be spacious inside with its electric only platform while the range or the features would be revealed later. In India we have had the Q2 as the most affordable Audi which isn't made anymore and the A2 being a premium electric hatchback won't come here most probably given the lack of demand for luxury hatchbacks. Audi globally is going through a big change with a new design direction and new model lineup. In India we can expect new models this year as well as the new Q3 and more. The A2 will for now be for European markets mostly and some global markets where the customer is looking for a premium hatchback but for luxury car money. We expect the new A2 to be priced at around Rs 30 lakh globally.

'Indian' In IPL Illegal? Kerala High Court Gives Final Verdict

Kerala High Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that challenged the legality of the name "Indian Premier League" (IPL). The court described the petition as lacking merit, effectively ending a brief but unusual legal challenge just days before the IPL 2026 season opener. The Allegations The petition was filed by Ashique Karoth, a social worker from Ernakulam, who argued that BCCI is a private body and not a recognized National Sports Federation (NSF). Misleading Branding: The petitioner claimed that using the word "Indian" in the tournament’s name creates a false impression of government patronage and official national status. Legal Violation: He alleged that the use of the name violates The Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, which restricts private entities from using certain protected names without central government permission. Court's Reaction A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Syam Kumar V.M. was not persuaded by the arguments. "Belated Realization": The bench noted that IPL has been functioning under this name for nearly two decades. They questioned why the petitioner "recently realized" it was supposedly illegal after 18 successful seasons. The court held that there was no substance in the argument that the tournament shouldn't be permitted to use its established branding. Case Disposed: The High Court refused to entertain the matter as a PIL and disposed of the petition at the admission stage. Why This Matters for IPL 2026 IPL 2026 tournament is set to begin on March 28, 2026, but any legal hurdle regarding branding could have caused massive logistical and broadcasting headaches. BCCI is technically a private society registered in Tamil Nadu, but it has long functioned as the de facto custodian of cricket in India, a status the court implicitly respected by dismissing the "unofficial" tag. Interestingly, this legal win comes just months after Bombay High Court ordered BCCI to pay ₹538 crore to the defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise, showing that the board's legal battles in the south remain a frequent occurrence.

IPL's Highest Wicket-Taker Quits Alcohol To 'Give 150%' In IPL 2026

Veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has made a candid revelation, announcing that he has completely given up alcohol. Speaking ahead of IPL 2026 season, the Punjab Kings star shared that this lifestyle change is part of a broader mission to reclaim his peak fitness and lead his team to their first-ever title. During a conversation on AB de Villiers’ YouTube channel, the 35-year-old revealed that he hasn't touched a drink in over half a year. The Goal: "I am 35 now. I want to be more active and give 150% for my team," Chahal explained. Chahal emphasized his desire to be a role model for younger players in the dugout, wanting them to look at his discipline and think, "We have to learn something from him." Healing from a "Heartbreaking" 2025 Final Yuzvendra Chahal also opened up about the physical and emotional toll of IPL 2025 season, where Punjab Kings fell just six runs short of glory against RCB. Playing Through Pain: Chahal admitted he played the 2025 knockout stages with multiple fractures - a rib injury followed by a broken knuckle - which prevented him from bowling his trademark leg-spin effectively. The "Jansen" Factor: He lamented the absence of pace spearhead Marco Jansen in the final (who was away for WTC duties), insisting that his presence would have secured the championship for Punjab. A Fresh Start Off the Field IPL 2026 season marks a personal turning point for Yuzvendra Chahal following a turbulent 12 months. Reports indicate that Chahal and Dhanashree Verma have officially finalized their divorce, with the Bombay High Court fast-tracking the process to allow the cricketer to focus entirely on the IPL. Already the highest wicket-taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history (221 wickets), legend Yuzvendra Chahal is now eyeing the elusive 250-wicket milestone while gunning for the Purple Cap he last won in 2022.

Eid Ul-Fitr 2026: Love Biryani And Korma? Expert Shares Smart Hacks To Keep It Healthy

The traditional Eid celebrations emerge from established customs that unite people and deliver traditional meals. The festive dishes of biryani and korma carry both cultural value and emotional importance because people prepare these dishes using expensive ingredients, fragrant spices, and they cook with high amounts of oil or ghee. The dishes offer great taste yet people need to find nutritional balance because their health depends on it. Biryani Hacks To Balance Taste And Nutrition Biryani, which serves as a fundamental dish for Eid celebrations, combines rice with meat and spices to create an aromatic one-pot dish. The dish becomes high in calories when chefs use too much oil and refined carbohydrates during cooking. People can achieve better health results through two methods which involve controlling their food portions and changing their food ingredients. The use of brown rice together with white rice in a 50 percent ratio serves to increase fiber content which supports better digestion and creates a feeling of fullness. The consumption of chicken breast and trimmed mutton enables people to decrease their intake of saturated fat while obtaining complete protein. Turn Your Korma Into A Guilt-Free Festive Delight Korma uses its creamy and rich gravy through the application of cream, nuts, and oil as its main ingredients. The ingredients improve the flavor of the dish but they also raise the total caloric content. The recipe needs less cream which can be replaced with yogurt or low-fat milk to create a balanced version of the dish. The creaminess of yogurt provides a creamy texture while its probiotics support healthy digestion. The dish requires a small quantity of nuts which helps to keep the taste while preventing excessive weight to the dish. Simple Cooking Swaps For Healthier Meals The cooking techniques used for Eid dishes determine their nutritional value. The recommended cooking method for onions and meat should use sautéing or baking instead of deep frying. The implementation of this minor modification results in a major reduction of excessive fat content. The introduction of additional vegetables, specifically carrots, beans, and peas, into biryani will increase its vitamin and mineral content while maintaining its original flavor. The traditional recipes use three spices: turmeric, cumin, and cardamom which provide various health advantages. The spices have both anti-inflammatory effects and digestive benefits which make them essential parts of a healthy diet. The main solution requires us to showcase the spices instead of depending solely on fats to create taste. Another important aspect is mindful eating. People tend to consume excessive food during festive celebrations which creates problems for their digestive system and metabolic process. The practice of eating food at a slow pace while enjoying each mouthful and recognizing their bodily hunger signals enables people to control their energy consumption. The dining experience becomes healthy through the combination of heavy main courses and light side dishes which include fresh salads and raita. People need to stay hydrated during their festive celebrations. Water consumption protects the body from digestive problems while helping people control their eating habits. People should decrease their intake of sugary drinks because these drinks provide extra calories that lack any nutritional benefits. Eid is a holiday that brings happiness through its communal meals which serve as its main festive element. The complete exclusion of traditional dishes from our celebration needs to be avoided because it creates unnecessary challenges. People can achieve their health goals through their preferred foods by making dedicated food changes. The fundamental elements of holiday dining exist through people who practice balance, choose moderate amounts, and make intelligent food selections. The implementation of these basic methods enables people to observe Eid while enjoying delicious food and maintaining their health. The methods allow people to perform traditional celebrations without endangering their health.
