Dana White has endorsed the VeChain network and its founder, Sunny Lu, as he claims to now own $1,000,000 worth of VET.

120 Bahadur to hold paid previews 3 DAYS before release; Excel Entertainment & Trigger Happy Studios announce historic nationwide screenings on Nov 18, 2025

In a bold move seldom seen in the Hindi film industry, the producers of 120 Bahadur Excel Entertainment and Trigger-Happy Studios are releasing select paid previews across India on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, a full three days in advance of its official theatrical release on 21 November 2025. The date isn’t arbitrary. The early screenings are timed to coincide with the 63rd anniversary of the Battle of Rezang La-one of the most heroic chapters in India’s military history and the film’s central inspiration-in 1962. With this bold step, 120 Bahadur now joins an exclusive club of Hindi films that have dared to offer audiences paid previews days ahead of release-a strategy that signals supreme confidence from the makers. According to the producers, the idea is two-fold-a tribute and a test. The early shows are designed as a homage to the brave soldiers of Rezang La, giving viewers an advance opportunity to experience the film’s emotional depth, large-scale action and patriotic intensity on a date steeped in significance. At the same time, it serves as a calculated gauge of audience sentiment, letting initial reactions organically build buzz in the lead-up to the wider national release. A source close to the production explains that this is not just a publicity call; it is an act of faith. They are confident that the emotion of the film would speak for itself, and paid previews on such an important date reinforce further the authenticity and respect with which 120 Bahadur has been made. With anticipation already building around the film’s ambitious scale and stirring narrative, this unprecedented preview strategy has only intensified industry curiosity. Whether or not the move proves to be a masterstroke, or a high-risk experiment will become clear as audiences line up for these special early screenings on November 18.

Circle Stock Plummets By Almost 70% Post-IPO Debut, Analysts Issue Warnings

The post Circle Stock Plummets By Almost 70% Post-IPO Debut, Analysts Issue Warnings appeared com. Following a notable debut on the Nasdaq earlier this year, Circle (CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has experienced a significant decline in its stock value. After hitting a peak of $298 on June 23, just 18 days post-launch, shares have now dropped by 68%, trading around $82. Circle Faces Challenges As Lockup Period Approaches Despite benefiting from a softer regulatory stance on digital assets in the US with President Trump’s crypto policies, Circle faces challenges that history does not favor, particularly as it approaches the end of its lockup period. Analysts, including Dan Dolev from Mizuho, highlighted that this lockup period prevents insiders from selling shares, typically for 180 days after an initial public offering. Circle’s initial public offering (IPO) filing indicated that this lockup period is set to expire two days after the company unveils its third-quarter earnings, which is this Friday. Mizuho’s analysis of over 750 IPOs with market capitalizations exceeding $1 billion reveals that 58% of companies that outperform the S&P 500 prior to their lockup period tend to underperform the index in the 180 days following it. These companies see an average decline of approximately 2%. The outlook is even bleaker for firms falling short of revenue expectations in the year after their IPOs, which tend to experience an average negative return of about 10% relative to the S&P 500. Circle may find itself in this latter category according to Mizuho. A significant portion of the company’s revenue comes from the interest on USDC reserves held in short-term US Treasuries, Treasury repurchase agreements, and cash. Consequently, a decline in interest rates or slower-than-anticipated growth of USDC could adversely impact revenue streams. Dolev noted: In our view, CRCL is likely to see downward revisions to consensus estimates over the coming years amid declining rates and.

EXPLOSIVE: Kanu Behl on multiplexes denying shows to Agra: “We are NOT asking for 1000 screens; we are only asking for 100 good screens…has the rot set so deep that no one just cares anymore? Is it all about Rs. 1000 crores or Rs. 5000 crores?”

It’s common to hear about independent and niche films not getting the desired shows in cinemas nowadays. Some filmmakers are too apprehensive to raise their voice. But Kanu Behl decided not to take things lying down. On Thursday, November 13, he posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account that his film Agra has been denied shows due to so-called ‘big blockbusters’ and because the small films don’t fit into multiplex programming. On the morning of November 14, the day Agra released, he uploaded a screenshot of the number of shows secured by his film in Mumbai. His film was played in just 3 cinemas with 4 shows. Kanu’s caption for this picture was ‘slow claps’. After he raised his voice, many from the industry like Manoj Bajpayee, Saiyami Kher, Sudhir Mishra etc came out in support. On November 15, after Kanu’s relentless fight, Agra is now playing in 9 cinemas in Mumbai. But the battle is far from over. In the evening of November 14, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Kanu to further understand the issue. When asked when he realized that Agra is being denied shows, he said, “I was a part of this conversation in peripheral ways since I am the director. I didn’t know upfront. 2 weeks back, we got the initial list of about 100 screens, out of which 9 belonged to PVR Inox. It was quite less. I insisted that we need to start cracking better cinemas. But the process got delayed and we didn’t hear anything. On Thursday night, I was told that shows nahin mil raha hai as all the shows were given to the bigger films. I don’t want to take names; I am not against any film. What we heard eventually was that we were not getting the shows. That’s when I started talking about it.” Agra has been distributed by Mantra Luminosity. Did Kanu Behl try to reach out to the theatres directly? Kanu replied, “I didn’t have direct communication with them. I only heard through my team. Generally, what we heard is that ‘A film like Agra doesn’t fit into our programming’ and ‘There’s a bigger film out there and everybody is going out for it’. But my point is that we are a country of 5000-6000 screens. We are not asking for 1000 screens or even 500 screens. We are only asking for 100 good screens. Why can’t we get 100 good screens that are accessible and are at a convenient time so that people can sample the film? If they like it, then the word of mouth will spread. Hence, we are not making an exorbitant ask.”Did the social media posts of Kanu Behl help in any way? After all, the fact that it got 9 shows in Mumbai on Saturday was thanks to his tweets. Or else, the number of shows might have reduced further on Saturday. Kanu explained, “Yes, but even if you notice, there are no shows in big chains yet. We are now trying to add as many shows as possible. But this whole thing about the big chains having a monopoly is a real issue. It doesn’t concern only me or my film Agra. It is an issue of the independent filmmaking community at large.”Kanu Behl said that he would continue to make efforts to get justice, “We are going to keep fighting. It’s time to talk and start this conversation. This keeps happening again and again in every film. If you remember, even All We Imagine As Light suffered the same problem. The same thing happened to Homebound, maybe to a lesser extent, because Dharma was involved. But every time an independent film was released, whether Sabar Bonda or Jugnuma, this happens. Until now, everyone was talking individually. Now, all of us independent filmmakers are coming together, and we are going to raise our voices collectively.”A few netizens asked Kanu Behl on X to release Agra directly on OTT. Kanu told them that a mafia exists even in that space. When asked if the OTT rights have been sold, Kanu Behl replied, “The rights have not been sold. But my question is, why not theatres? Why should my film also go directly into the black hole called OTT? A film of this sort just gets dumped on a streaming platform without any promotion. Do people even know that those films exist? Has the decay of our culture gotten so bad and has the rot set so deep that no one just cares anymore? Is it all about Rs. 100 crores or Rs. 1000 crores or Rs. 5000 crores? When we are on our deathbed, will we remember the amount of money we earned or the quality of lives we lived and the people that matter to us? When will this shameless capitalist consumerist activity stop? When will we put an end to it?”Also Read: Kanu Behl urges audience to speak up as Agra struggles for shows amid ‘big blockbuster’ dominance.
