BollywoodBollywood and Hollywood in one feed: what to watch, who is in it, where to stream it.
Everything is available and nothing gets chosen. Jubliz sorts a crowded week, in cinemas and on streaming, across Bollywood and Hollywood, into a single recommendation you can act on before the evening disappears.
Bollywood, Hollywood, South Indian and Punjabi cinema, Hindi TV and gaming. All stories
FeatureFrom a reported audience surge for Kon Honar Crorepati to adventurous acting roles, nurturing dance talent and championing children’s rights, Madhuri Dixit continues to give audiences reasons to celebrate her.
FeatureA storyteller from small-town India, a visual effects tycoon who conquered Hollywood, and a Kannada superstar who chose to bet on himself. Jubliz meets the three people who have carried Ramayana from dream to Diwali.
FeatureBefore a single pixel was rendered, carpenters, painters and designers raised entire kingdoms in Mumbai. Jubliz walks the streets of the most ambitious physical sets Indian cinema has built in a generation.
FeatureHe commanded the Enterprise, guided a school of mutants and gave Shakespeare a voice that filled the world's grandest theatres. Jubliz bids farewell to Sir Patrick Stewart, a magnificent actor and an even finer human being.
PunjabiKartar Cheema plays a man fresh out of prison in Chakkven, a Punjab and Canada drama listed for 20 November.
Hindi TVIn the Star Plus drama, Methala's feud with Anupama escalates just as the Garba celebrations begin.
Hindi TVIn the latest episode, Abhira spots Kabir at a cafe with another girl and draws her own conclusion.
South IndianReports link Suriya with Mandaadi director Mathimaran Pugazhendi for a large-scale coastal action drama, but nothing is confirmed.
Tell us the mood, the company and the screen. We will tell you what kind of film to look for, and what to check before you commit.
Pick an ensemble comedy over a one star vehicle: the more people bouncing off each other, the more chances a joke lands. Comedy rarely needs three hours, so let the runtime be your first filter.
With friends, go big and loud. A packed room multiplies the laughs and the screams.
In cinemas, the second weekend is the honest one: the crowd is there for the film, not the opening.
Get picks like this every weekWe cover Bollywood and Hollywood side by side, in the same feed and with the same weight. Drag the star to move between them.
Hindi cinema on the big screen and at home: the Friday releases, the stars carrying them and the songs everyone will be humming by Monday.
American films and series as they land in cinemas and on streaming, sorted by whether they suit your evening, not by how loud the campaign is.
An evening that opens with a Hindi release finishes with an American series, and there is no good reason for a masthead to pretend those are two separate worlds with two separate readers.
Hover to play, tap to open. The texture of an evening at the pictures, from Mumbai to Los Angeles.
Box office, streaming, stars, awards season, crossovers and reviews: written for the audience, not the industry.
Box officeOpening numbers measure marketing spend, screen count and the size of a fanbase long before they measure whether anyone enjoyed themselves. How to read the weekend chart as a viewer rather than as an accountant, and why the second weekend is the honest one.
StreamingA film leaves the multiplex and then goes quiet for a while. What sets the length of that wait, why it runs differently for a Hindi release and an American one, and the signs that tell you a title is close to landing at home.
StarsCasting works on memory. An actor accumulates roles, interviews and images until the audience knows what to expect before the lights go down. How that expectation forms on both sides of the world, and what happens when a performer decides to break it.
Awards seasonAwards season is a viewing calendar wearing the costume of a competition. What the shortlists are genuinely useful for, which categories reliably point at something worth your time, and how to watch the contenders without turning your evenings into homework.
CrossoverRemakes, adaptations and borrowed formats move constantly in both directions, and the changes are rarely just language. Songs, running time, the interval and the ending all get renegotiated for a new audience. What survives the journey, and what quietly disappears.
ReviewsA star rating flattens the only question that matters, which is whether this particular film suits this particular evening and this particular company. How we write a verdict that works for the reader who loves the genre and the one who was dragged along.
Six habits of the movies. Guess where each one belongs.
Drag the reel, or use the arrows. Tap any frame to see it bigger.
One email a week: three things worth watching, in cinemas and at home, why each one made the list, and the loud release we think you can safely skip. Short enough to read standing up, specific enough to book from.
SubscribeWhat we cover, how we work and how we fix what we get wrong.
Jubliz is written for the audience, not the industry. Our subject is what you actually watch: the film worth your Friday night, who is in it, what it is about, how it did, what has just arrived on streaming, and who is winning what once awards season starts.
We cover Bollywood and Hollywood side by side, in the same feed and with the same weight, because that is already how our readers watch. An evening that opens with a Hindi release finishes with an American series, and there is no good reason for a masthead to pretend those are two separate worlds with two separate readers. One boundary matters more than all the others. Jubliz does not report the business of filmmaking. How a film is financed, cast, scheduled, sold territory by territory and put onto screens is the beat of our sister masthead Filmi News, which covers Indian cinema as a trade for the people who work in it. The two of us will often write about the same film. We ask whether it is worth your evening. They ask how it got made and whether it returns the money. If your question ends in a booking, it is ours. If it ends in a contract, it is theirs. Jubliz is published by SUKH SANDHU PTY LTD (ACN 679 292 392, ABN 49 679 292 392), an Australian company.
We watch it before we write about it, and when a piece rests on a trailer, a teaser or a promotional event rather than the finished film, that is the first line of the piece and it is not called a review. Publicity is labelled as publicity and never dressed up as reporting.
Collections and viewing figures are repeated only when we can say who counted them and how, and a claim we cannot source is left out rather than softened into a maybe. Reviews say who a film is for, then whether it does what it set out to do, and the reviewer's own taste is declared rather than smuggled in as authority. Spoilers sit behind a clear warning, always, including in headlines and newsletter subject lines. The stars section is about work and public life. We do not publish home addresses, family details, health information or anything sourced from a stolen phone, and we do not launder rumour into reporting by attributing it to a social media post. Coverage cannot be bought: no junkets, no gifts, no paid travel, and anything commercial is marked as advertising at the top. We buy our own tickets and pay for our own subscriptions.
We fix errors on the page, with a dated note at the foot of the story saying what was wrong and what it is now, and a note at the top as well when the error went to the point of the piece. On this beat the common mistakes are names, credits, transliterations, release dates and streaming availability, so a correction always carries the right version rather than only confessing the wrong one.
If we said a title was streaming somewhere it is not, the note names the service it is actually on, because a reader who spent an evening looking for it needs the answer and not an apology. We do not quietly rewrite a published sentence and we do not delete a story to make a mistake go away. Anyone can report an error through the contact page and we reply whether or not we end up agreeing.
Because that is how people watch. Our reader does not maintain one taste for Hindi cinema and a separate one for American cinema, and the two industries increasingly share stars, formats, money and release strategy. Splitting them into different sites would force readers to visit two places for one Friday night decision. Treating them as one global entertainment culture is not a compromise here, it is the whole idea.
Jubliz is for the audience and Filmi News is for the industry. We cover what to watch, who is in it, what it made and where to stream it, across Bollywood and Hollywood. Filmi News covers how Indian cinema gets made, financed, cast, distributed and screened, across every one of its industries, for the people who work in it. Both mastheads may write about the same film in the same week. Ours asks whether it is worth your evening. Theirs asks how it got financed and whether it will earn out.
Not without warning you first. Headlines, standfirsts, images and newsletter subject lines stay clean, and anything that gives away a turn in the story sits below a clear marker inside the piece. A review can tell you whether a film works without telling you what happens in it, and we treat doing that properly as part of the craft rather than a courtesy.
No. Coverage is not for sale, and we do not accept junkets, gifts, paid travel or an arrangement that trades access for a favourable piece. Advertising, if we carry it, is labelled as advertising and has no bearing on what we cover or how we rate it. We hold no commercial interest in any studio, distributor, exhibitor or streaming service.
