**Happy Patel Box Office Collection Day 4: A Detailed Report**

*Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos* has garnered significant attention following its first full working week after its release on January 16, 2026. The spy comedy, directed by Vir Das and Kavi Shastri, has caught the eye not only due to its star-studded cast and Aamir Khan’s support but also because of its real-time domestic box office performance. Both audiences and industry experts have taken note of the film’s journey at the box office.

### Box Office Performance Overview

The movie started with a slow opening day, garnering only ₹1.25 crore in net sales in India. This modest figure reflected the audience’s cautious curiosity rather than an immediate commercial hit.

On Saturday, the second day, there was a slight rise with collections of approximately ₹1.6 crore net in India. This indicated minimal change as the film was gradually reaching its weekend crowd.

Surprisingly, Sunday — typically a strong day for new releases — turned out to be less favorable, with the film earning around ₹1.5 crore net. By the end of the first three days, *Happy Patel*’s total domestic net stood at approximately ₹4.35 crore.

Monday, the first weekday after the weekend, is usually a critical test of a film’s staying power in theatres. According to the latest reports from box office tracker Sacnilk, *Happy Patel* is expected to add a little over ₹1 crore to its Monday tally. This brings the estimated four-day domestic net collection to about ₹4.75 crore. Unfortunately, this figure is significantly lower than the typical weekend-to-weekday ratio seen in successful films.

### About *Happy Patel*: Story and Cast

The film revolves around Happy Patel, a detective who is enthusiastic but somewhat clumsy. His mission leads him into a series of funny and unusual situations, blending comedic elements with the intrigue of a spy thriller.

The cast includes notable actors such as Mithila Palkar, Mona Singh, and Imran Khan, who play important roles and add depth to the story, making it more engaging for the audience.

*Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos* continues to hold attention as it navigates the challenge of sustaining box office momentum in its initial week. Fans and industry watchers alike will be curious to see how the film performs in the coming days.

Timothy Busfield’s Lawyers Claim Parents of Alleged Sex Abuse Victims Have ‘History of Fraud’

Posted on 17/01/2026 by admin

While requesting Timothy Busfield’s release as he awaits trial for child sex abuse allegations, the director-actor’s lawyers argued that the parents of his underage accusers are motivated by money and revenge, citing their “extraordinarily checkered” pasts.

The West Wing alum, 68, was charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse in New Mexico on Tuesday, Jan. 13, after surrendering to Albuquerque police. The warrant for his arrest alleged that he engaged in unlawful sexual conduct with 11-year-old twin boys who were child actors on the set of the FOX series *The Cleaning Lady*, where Busfield served as a director.

Busfield, who is married to actress Melissa Gilbert, has denied all child sex abuse crimes and said in a video obtained by TMZ that he plans to “confront these lies” and “fight.”

In a new opposition court filing submitted on Friday, Jan. 16, Busfield’s lawyers opposed the state’s motion for pretrial detention by, in part, taking aim at the parents of the accusers, Angele LaSalle and Ronald Rodis, citing their “disturbing” histories of alleged fraud, scamming, and more. The filing also claims LaSalle was previously heard stating that she “would ‘get her revenge against Tim Busfield.’”

The filing, obtained by PEOPLE on Saturday, Jan. 17, argues that “the State offers no reliable proof, only allegations advanced by witnesses with documented histories of fraud and financial exploitation, contradicted by a comprehensive studio investigation, and refuted by witnesses and objective risk assessments.”

The state’s case against Busfield, the actor’s lawyers argue in the filing, “rests almost entirely on the accounts” of the “two stage parents,” who “are not neutral observers.”

“Their allegations emerged only after the loss of the twins’ role and only after consultation with civil counsel, creating an obvious financial and retaliatory motive,” the filing states, referring to the child actors’ alleged 2024 recasting in *The Cleaning Lady*, which ran from January 2022 until June 2025. “That motive must be evaluated against the couple’s well-documented history of fraud and dishonesty,” it adds.

### Allegations Against the Accusers’ Parents

First taking aim at the twins’ father, Rodis, the filing claims that his alleged past conduct points to “his willingness to manipulate narratives when money is at stake,” and argues that Rodis is “leveraging a crisis to generate personal financial gain.”

The filing states that Rodis “is a former attorney who was convicted of federal conspiracy and wire fraud and was later disbarred following that prosecution for a multi-million-dollar scheme in which he used his law license to deceive vulnerable victims for profit.” Rodis previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after the scheme, which “defrauded more than 1,500 homeowners of approximately $6 million,” was brought to light, according to the filing.

Additionally, testimony from a director of photography on *The Cleaning Lady* set described Rodis as “pushy and manipulative” and said that he would “frequently encourage and tell the children to hug people on set, including Mr. Busfield.”

The accusers’ mother, LaSalle, has an “equally disturbing history,” the filing states, citing that she “has had multiple civil judgments entered against her for fraudulent and dishonest behavior.” She was sued for “various claims including fraud, conversion, and fraudulent transfer,” including allegedly unlawfully repossessing a Bentley car after selling it and writing bad checks to Las Vegas casinos, according to the filing.

“The fact of the matter is that the parents driving the allegations against Mr. Busfield have an extraordinarily checkered past that casts enormous doubt on the truthfulness of their statements,” the filing states.

Busfield’s lawyers also argue that the parents are motivated by revenge, in addition to money.

PEOPLE was unable to reach attorneys for Rodis and LaSalle.

### Background and Investigations

An investigation into Busfield previously began on Nov. 1, 2024, after a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital alerted police about alleged sexual abuse.

According to the filing, a separate, independent investigation conducted by Warner Bros. Television Studios in 2025 “found not only that allegations against Mr. Busfield were unfounded, but also that Angele LaSalle, after hearing that her children might not be returning for a fourth season, stated to the show’s lead actor that she would ‘get her revenge against Tim Busfield.’”

In a statement to PEOPLE, a Warner Bros. representative said, “The health and safety of our cast and crew is always our top priority, especially the safety of minors on our productions. We take all allegations of misconduct very seriously and have systems in place to promptly and thoroughly investigate, and when needed, take appropriate action. [We] have been and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement.”

Chase Infiniti Is a Work of Art in a Mirrored Louis Vuitton Bustier at the 2026 Golden Globes

Posted on 11/01/2026 by admin

Chase Infiniti Makes Stunning Golden Globes Debut in Custom Louis Vuitton

Chase Infiniti made a memorable entrance at the Golden Globes in a custom Louis Vuitton ensemble. The actress, known for her role in One Battle After Another, is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

For her first-ever Golden Globes appearance, the 25-year-old nominee wore a sculpted Louis Vuitton bustier adorned with mirrored appliqué that flared elegantly around her hips. Complementing the striking top was a long black velvet skirt that extended into a graceful train behind her. Infiniti accessorized the look with sparkling chandelier earrings, a diamond bracelet, and matching rings, keeping her hair down and flowing naturally.

Previous Appearance at Critics Choice Awards

Infiniti kicked off awards season the previous week at the Critics Choice Awards, where she wore a custom butter-yellow two-piece outfit by Louis Vuitton. Her fashion choices have been praised for their elegance and originality.

Reflecting on Oscar Buzz and Newfound Fame

As one of ELLE’s 2025 Women in Hollywood, Infiniti opened up in her cover story interview about the buzz surrounding her Oscar-worthy role as Willa in One Battle After Another. “I’m just grateful that people are loving the film, and loving [my character] Willa,” she shared. “And of course, it’s something I never could have imagined. I’m just so grateful to have been a part of the film, in any shape or form. That’s kind of it. I just really can’t believe anything. Again, pinch-me moments. I’m like, ‘What is my life?’”

She also spoke candidly about adjusting to newfound fame, especially on social media. “The biggest shift that I’ve had to adjust to is pretty much just online, social media-wise,” Infiniti said. “I don’t get recognized that often in public; normally the giveaway is my hair. Because the way that Willa wears her hair is a style that I wear my hair in very often, so normally I get recognized when my hair’s like that, and I can kind of be hidden with my hair braided or with my hair in twists.”

During her work on Presumed Innocent and Paul’s movie, Infiniti expressed gratitude for the incredible support system around her. “I’ve been so fortunate that I’ve had wonderful guides and mentors in the industry,” she explained. “Whether it be Ruth Negga, Teyana Taylor, or Regina Hall. I’m so grateful to have three incredible mentors in my life, three incredible Black women in Hollywood, who are so incredibly successful in many ways—in career, in life, in love. I’ve gotten so much advice from them about working in the industry and being a Black woman in the industry.”

She added, “Also, I have a wonderful team that is so supportive, so they guide me a lot of the way through this. Because it is so new, and it’s crazy, especially at a scope like this, and truly being thrust into it.”

Lele Pons joins the beloved Jim Henson characters for a new holiday special

Posted on 10/12/2025 by admin

Let’s get ready to rock! Fraggle Rock, that is. The beloved Jim Henson characters are back with a new holiday special, and Miami’s own Lele Pons is joining in on the fun!

Lele Pons and Fraggle Rock share a playful exchange:
Lele Pons: “So you are a.”
Fraggle Rock: “Fraggle!”
Lele Pons: “Fraggle.”
Fraggle Rock: “Fraggle.”
Lele Pons: “Fraggle.”
Fraggle Rock: “Fraaaagle.”
Lele Pons: “Fraggle.”
Fraggle Rock: “Yeah!”
Lele Pons: “I like saying that. It’s fun to say.”

Fraggle. Fraggle. Fraggle. Lele’s right—that is fun to say!

The social media superstar and singer lends her voice and her wisdom to Gobo in *The First Snow of Fraggle Rock*. She’s helping him find inspiration for his annual holiday song.

Deco caught up with Lele earlier to talk about the special and ask her what signature Miami things she’d think would be fun to introduce to the Fraggle Rock world.

Lele shared, “LIV and jet-skis and boats. That’d be sick. Or a Bad Bunny concert. That’s super insane. They’d be like, ‘Why is everybody acting so weird? What is that drink that they’re drinking?’ Nothing! It’s just water.”

We do love water, among other things, here in South Florida!

*The First Snow of Fraggle Rock* is now streaming on Apple TV+.

Middle-Earth 6-Film 4K Blu-Ray Collection Is $100 For Cyber Monday

Posted on 30/11/2025 by admin

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy’s move to 4K UHD resolution is fittingly marvelous. Middle Earth’s sprawling fields, rolling hills, and scenic vistas come alive with the help of HDR and modern surround sound technology. All three films support Dolby Vision and HDR10, along with Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound, offering an immersive viewing experience for fans and newcomers alike.

If you haven’t watched the extended cuts, you’re in for a treat. The extended trilogy adds a full two hours to the theatrical versions, which is impressive considering the theatrical trilogy already eclipsed nine hours in theaters. Specifically, *The Fellowship of the Ring*’s extended cut is 30 minutes longer, *The Two Towers* is 44 minutes longer, and *The Return of the King* is 51 minutes longer. Notably, *The Return of the King*’s extended version is one of the rare movies that surpasses four hours in length.

This release comes as a 9-disc box set, with each film’s extended cut spread across two discs, while the theatrical cuts are contained on a single disc each.

### Runtime Details (Excluding Credits)

**The Lord of the Rings Theatrical Cuts**
– The Fellowship of the Ring: 2 hours 58 minutes

**The Lord of the Rings Extended Cuts**
– The Fellowship of the Ring: 3 hours 28 minutes
– The Two Towers: 3 hours 43 minutes
– The Return of the King: 4 hours 12 minutes
**Total runtime:** 11 hours 23 minutes

At $100, the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection currently costs about the same as purchasing the combined 4K Blu-ray editions of *The Lord of the Rings* Trilogy ($49.49) and *The Hobbit* Trilogy ($50). If you’re interested in both trilogies, the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection is the better value, as it includes everything from those sets plus 1080p Blu-ray and Movies Anywhere digital editions.

It’s worth noting that audio commentaries by Peter Jackson for all six extended cuts are exclusive to the standard Blu-ray and digital editions of both *LOTR* and *The Hobbit*, so these are not included in the 4K-only trilogy sets.

### What’s Included in the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection?

– 15 4K Blu-ray discs
– 15 1080p Blu-ray discs
– Digital codes to download/stream both trilogies
– Theatrical and extended cuts for all films in all formats

—

### The Hobbit Trilogy in 4K

The *Hobbit* Trilogy in 4K supports the same impressive visual and audio enhancements as *The Lord of the Rings*: Dolby Vision / HDR10 and Dolby Atmos / Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound. The extended cuts add roughly an hour to the total runtime.

**The Hobbit Theatrical Editions**
– An Unexpected Journey: 2 hours 49 minutes
– The Desolation of Smaug: 2 hours 41 minutes
– The Battle of the Five Armies: 2 hours 24 minutes
**Total runtime:** 7 hours 54 minutes

**The Hobbit Extended Editions**
– An Unexpected Journey: 3 hours 2 minutes
– The Desolation of Smaug: 3 hours 6 minutes

Whether you opt for the individual trilogy sets or the comprehensive 6-Film Collection, fans are sure to enjoy hours of immersive storytelling in breathtaking detail.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch star, 51, looks totally different in red carpet appearance

Posted on 29/11/2025 by admin

Fans of *Sabrina the Teenage Witch* did a double-take when Jenna Leigh Green—best known for playing Libby Chessler, the show’s flawlessly groomed high-school queen bee—stepped out at *The Age of Disclosure* premiere in New York on Tuesday, November 2025, looking worlds away from her 1990s mean-girl persona.

Now 51, the actress embraced a refined, modern look wearing an elegant, pared-back ensemble. She wore a flowing taupe maxi dress with a subtle bubble hem, the soft fabric draping effortlessly as she posed for photos. Layered over the dress was a crisp white cropped blazer, adding structure and a contemporary silhouette. Jenna finished the outfit with sleek white pointed ankle boots, giving the look a clean, minimalist edge.

She wore her trademark glossy brunette hair styled in loose waves and opted for a natural, glowing makeup palette.

The premiere also attracted a wide range of well-known names, including *The Karate Kid* star Ralph Macchio, *The Nanny*’s Fran Drescher, supermodel Frederique van der Wal, actors Rory Culkin and Christopher Abbott, and *Sex and the City* author Candace Bushnell. Screen legend Ellen Burstyn, 92, was also in attendance, adding to the event’s impressive cross-generational lineup.

Jenna’s fans will remember her as Libby, the sharp-tongued cheerleader who spent much of the show tormenting Melissa Joan Hart’s Sabrina. Her character became one of the 1990s’ most memorable teen antagonists—the kind audiences loved to hate. Jenna played the role across the series’ earliest seasons, delivering one-liners, high-school drama, and classic sitcom cattiness with perfect comedic timing.

Though her role as the high-school queen bee remains her most recognized credit, Jenna quickly built a varied career, focusing particularly on the stage. She found major success in musical theatre, starring as Nessarose in both the Los Angeles and Broadway productions of *Wicked*.

She also appeared in national tours of *Rock of Ages*, *Bare: A Pop Opera*, and other acclaimed productions, earning praise for her vocal skill and emotional range. On screen, she has made appearances in series including *Bones*, *Ghost Whisperer*, and *Criminal Minds*, while continuing to perform in concerts and cabaret shows.

Away from the spotlight, Jenna keeps her personal life relatively private, although she has an active presence on social media. Her bio on Instagram cheekily reads: “That girl from that show.” She is not publicly known to be married and has not spoken about having children, preferring to keep her life out of the public eye.

She has, however, been open about her longstanding support for arts education, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and grassroots community initiatives—areas she champions quietly but passionately.

Here’s our exclusive card reveal for Riftbound: Spiritforged

Posted on 24/11/2025 by admin

Riftbound has presented players with mighty heroes and powerful forces from across the mortal and spirit realms. Now it’s time for the League of Legends Trading Card Game to take the next step and introduce weapons. However, in this game, weapons are more than just tools for battle. The upcoming Spiritforged set brings weapons and their wielders to the forefront. Today, Shacknews brings you a new spell that will help supplement winning decks: Called Shot. Called Shot is a 0-Energy spell that can be played on your turn or in showdowns. The player looks at the top two cards of their Main Deck, drawing one and recycling the other. There’s also the potential to Repeat the effect, which is a new keyword debuting in Spiritforged. Head of Video Greg Burke has been frequenting Riftbound circles across his local game shops. Local store owner Cody Sierra said about Called Shot, “That card is actually amazing. It’s great for early or late game. The fact it’s repeatable. It seems like an auto include for a lot Chaos decks for helping curate a proper hand especially late game. It’s great also after you spend all your energy and you are ok recycling as many runes as you’d like on your opponent’s turn during a showdown.”.
