Actress Kritika Bharadwaj, who essays the role of trainee pilot Tanya Sharma in the recently released Sidharth Malhotra-starrer film ‘Yodha’, shared that she played aeroplane simulation games to take cues for the role and the technicalities involved.
The actress has been a part of the hit streaming show ‘Mismatched’, and landed her role in ‘Yodha’ toward the end of the shooting schedule of ‘Mismatched 2’.
The actress said that switching from portraying Simran in ‘Mismatched 2’ to Tanya, the aspiring pilot, was really interesting.
She told Ians: “I got deep into learning all those technical terms, even took cues from playing aeroplane simulation games. Shooting the cockpit scenes towards the end of Yodha in a step-by-step manner just flowed naturally with the storyline. And you know what? My first scene in Yodha, where I bump into Sidharth’s character, felt like deja vu, almost like a real-life encounter. It made everything feel so genuine and smooth.

Jee Karda, the brand-new Prime Video original by Arunima Sharma, Hussain Dalal, and Abbas Dalal, might have had its flaws, but it got the vibe of a large friend group being there for each other right. There are tensions, awkwardness, brutal honesty, and love that are shared in abundance between the eight of them, and one feels content to watch the makers effortlessly present their chemistry. We have had many shows in the past that paved the way for this genre called friendship/romance drama, and here is a comparative list of why these shows need to be watched on a lazy weekend to just put a smile on your face.
Little Things (2016)
Little Things, which began as a YouTube Original in the year 2016 and was later picked up as a Netflix Original, is about a couple in a long-term relationship trudging through life, love, career, financial struggles, and insecurities.

Netflix is forecasted to grow its revenue in the Asia-Pacific region by 12 percent in 2023, hitting $4 billion, according to a new report from regional research and analysis firm Media Partners Asia. Performance in Asia’s major economies and population centers has become a vital metric for Netflix as subscriber growth and revenue per user has largely plateaued in North America and Western Europe.
The growth rate forecasted by MPA would represent a sizable uptick from Netflix’s 2022 Apac revenue increase of 9 percent. The research firm also projects that Netflix’s local content spending in the region will reach $1.9 billion, representing 47 percent of revenues.
Media Partners Asia’s analysts see three primary factors driving the gains in the East: A rebound in the lucrative but saturated Australia market, where Netflix’s recently launched ad-supported subscription tier will gradually bolster sales; robust levels of growth in the developed East Asian markets of Japan and Korea,...

Exclusive: Freevee, Amazon’s ad-supported video streaming service is developing Arranged, a half-hour single-camera romantic comedy series co-written and executive produced by With Love creator Gloria Calderón Kellett and Saturday Night Live alum Taran Killam. The project stems from Kellett’s GloNation Studios under the company’s overall deal with Amazon Studios.
Arranged follows a self-destructive movie star (Killam) and an ambitious pop Latina diva who agree to a mutually beneficial “public relationship” in order to help sell her upcoming breakup album and save his declining career, a decision they immediately regret as they quickly realize they hate each other’s guts.
The series is fictional but there are obvious points of reference: the high-profile romances between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck as well as Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson.
Kellett and Killam will executive produce with Marc Provissiero (Pen15) for Kellett’s GloNation banner as part of her Amazon Studios deal.
