Testifying in a defamation case Mr Depp has brought against her, Ms Heard, 36, painted a picture of the actor as an abuser plagued by drug addiction, jealousy and self-harm. Mr Depp is suing Ms Heard for $50m (£40m) over an article in which she claimed she was the victim of domestic violence. He has repeatedly denied any abuse.

Nepali films get low priority from cinemas, but who is at fault anyway? Here’s a case in point

Posted in Entertainment, Intresting, News

On May 6, along with Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness, two more Nepali films–Shatkon and Lakka Jawan–were released in the movie halls. Whereas Doctor Strange has been enjoying a lot of attention and business, the two Nepali films have not been that lucky. In fact, of the two, Shatkon has been removed from a majority of Nepali movie halls, after barely surviving its first weekend. A Nepali film to exit the halls in just three days of its release might sound quite regular. However, the fate of Shatkon, said to be in an experimental genre with some potential, has triggered questions about the low priority these films get from the cinemas.
