Meet the youngsters who rule India's social media.
In a nation of 1.4 billion people, where a potential new creator is born every second, we pick 25 influencers who have ruled social media this year.
When things don't materialise the way toxic people want them to, they may try different ways to control you.
Mohanlal, the complete actor, has finally revealed the teaser of his coming period drama, Malaikottai Valiban.
According to experts, one of the primary causes of toxic behaviour is a lack of adulting in men and women.
At the end of eight episodes, the climax is bound to leave you with questions but it would be fair to say that the two-episode backstory and the characters seemed far more interesting than the six-episode drama and tension that led to it, observes Divya Nair.
The Village starts off pretty well, but it required something more convincing than a bunch of creepy Gollum-like monsters to deliver the impact it should, observes Divya Nair.
Relationship coaches help you decode toxic behaviour and how it can potentially damage your mental health and your relationship with your partner.
What should have ideally been a slow-burn thriller pretty much turns into a game of predictive, uninteresting moments that simply delay the almost obvious climax, notes Divya Nair.
'We want to send Indians on the moon and create history, but we don't want to accept the reality that is happening on earth.'
Leo is a good entertainer with interesting twists you wouldn't guess, applauds Divya Nair.
'As it happens in any society, when progress happens, hate also comes out.' 'There is always a bit of a risk and possibility of rejection, particularly by an orthodox section of society.'
The competition between Dil, Dimaag and Dum promises much entertainment in the days to come, expects Divya Nair.
If you are looking for a fluffy rom-com without much pravachan, Kushi is worth a watch, recommends Divya Nair.
Dulquer may be good looking but how long can you watch him with a cigarette in his mouth, giving that deadpan expression, wonders Divya Nair.
It would be unfair to accommodate Gauri's incredible journey in six episodes, but the makers have done justice by casting Sushmita Sen. She adds a touch of elegance and reform in some of the most challenging scenes, applauds Divya Nair.
I don't remember Rajinikanth beheading anyone so brutally in any of his previous films. Or glamourising so much of blood and violence. This is an altogether different version of a brutal Ra1jinikanth, something you and I had probably never imagined before, observes Divya Nair.
Atlee gives temporary relief from reality, by blinding us into a make-believe world where the perfect family hero and messiah makes the world a safer and equal place for all, explains Divya Nair.
Dhanush, who turns 40 on July 28, still defies his age and can transform into an unemployed college graduate, an obsessive, one-sided lover or the doting father of a teen with equal integrity and maybe even lead a badly written film to commercial success.
