The relentless downpour in Mumbai has brought large parts of the city to a standstill, with flooding, traffic jams and power outages reported across several areas. Among the properties hit by severe waterlogging is Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic bungalow, Prateeksha, located in Juhu. Viral Videos Show Waterlogged Premises Photos and videos of rainwater flooding the premises of the ₹50 crore property have gone viral on social media. Content creators and curious onlookers gathered outside the residence, turning the incident into a tourist attraction. One user on X (formerly Twitter) shared visuals from outside and inside the bungalow, offering a glimpse of the parking area and surrounding premises submerged in water. However, security staff quickly escorted him out. Another user posted pictures highlighting the heavy accumulation of rainwater outside the gates of Prateeksha. A Home Full of Memories Prateeksha holds a special place in the Bachchan family’s legacy. It was the first home Amitabh Bachchan purchased in Mumbai after the success of Sholay (1975). He lived there with his parents, and the bungalow later became the venue for Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai’s grand wedding in 2007. Today, the superstar owns three bungalows in Mumbai—Jalsa, Janak and Prateeksha. A few years ago, he gifted Prateeksha to his daughter Shweta Nanda. Located just a kilometre from Jalsa, the property is valued at ₹50 crore.

Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known as King Khan, is adored by millions of fans who often go to extreme lengths just to catch a glimpse of him. In a recent viral incident, social media influencer Shubham Prajapat attempted to sneak into the superstar’s residence, Mannat, by pretending to be a Zomato delivery boy. The Plan The video, now widely shared on social media, opens with Shubham standing outside Mannat, expressing his desire to meet SRK. When security stopped him at the main gate, he came up with a creative plan. He ordered two cold coffees through Zomato—one for himself and one supposedly for Shah Rukh Khan. When the real delivery agent arrived, Shubham convinced him to lend him the delivery bag so he could take the order forward. With the bag slung over his shoulder, Shubham confidently approached Mannat’s main gate, hoping to pass off as a delivery guy. The Failed Attempt The front gate guard, however, did not allow him entry. Instead, he directed Shubham to a so-called “secret back door” used for discreet entries. Excited, Shubham rushed there, believing his plan was finally working. At the back entrance, he once again claimed to be delivering coffee, but this time the guard asked him to call the person who had placed the order. When Shubham couldn’t produce any proof, his plan collapsed. Adding a touch of humor, the guard quipped:“Ek phone karega toh poora coffee wala nachega uske saamne.”(If Shah Rukh Khan himself were to make a call, every coffee seller would dance in front of him.) The clip has left fans amused, with many praising Shubham’s creativity while laughing at the lighthearted way the guards handled the situation.

War 2 tries to up the ante for Bollywood’s Spy Universe, but ends up proving that scale without substance is just noise in Dolby Atmos. Ayan Mukerji swaps his usual flair for human moments with postcard tourism and physics-defying stunts that are more parody than thrill. The Story (sort of):Somewhere in this globetrotting blur, there’s a mission involving patriotism, betrayal, and a cartel that’s supposed to be menacing but instead feels like a filler villain in a video game. Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir and Jr NTR’s mystery agent have the charisma to carry action, romance, or drama — but here, they’re reduced to moving action figures in a screenplay that keeps changing its mind about what it’s trying to say. The Action:Yes, there are fights on planes, under water, in snow, on trains, inside fire — but none of them land with weight or wit. When NTR survives a near-heart shot and wakes up without so much as a ruffled chest hair, or when Hrithik and Kiara leap from a bullet-riddled jeep glowing with pristine headlights, you start laughing at the stunts instead of with them. Poor CGI and suspiciously flawless six-packs don’t help. Performances: Direction & Style:Mukerji’s strategy seems to be: if the plot’s not working, distract with locations. So we hop from India to Spain to Russia to Switzerland, with Manali thrown in, making the film feel like a travel ad with random explosions. It’s spectacle for spectacle’s sake — expensive, yes, but narratively empty. The Verdict:War 2 isn’t just a step down from War, it risks deflating the entire YRF Spy Universe. All gloss, no grit, and certainly no memorable hook — it’s a film that mistakes louder for better, and global for grand. By the end, neither the villains’ plan nor the heroes’ invincibility matters. It’s just an overlong, overproduced postcard from nowhere. If the Spy Universe wants to survive, it needs stories worth telling — not just bulletproof cheekbones and international hotel bills.
