Toxic Movie Review: Yash’s Comeback Gets Mixed Reactions

Toxic Movie Review: Yash’s Comeback Gets Mixed Reactions Yash’s much-awaited film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups arrived in cinemas on August 26, 2026, creating huge excitement among Indian moviegoers. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the gangster action drama features Yash alongside Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi and Rukmini Vasanth. The biggest strength of Toxic is clearly Yash. His commanding screen presence, intense performance and larger-than-life action moments have received appreciation from many viewers. The film also stands out for its grand production design, cinematography and ambitious visual style. Some action sequences have been praised as genuine big-screen experiences. However, the movie has also received considerable criticism. Several reviewers have described the screenplay as confusing and uneven, while the lengthy runtime and rapid editing have made the viewing experience exhausting for some audiences. Critics have also pointed to underdeveloped supporting characters and an emotional storyline that does not always connect effectively. Early audience reactions are sharply divided, with fans celebrating Yash while others remain disappointed by the storytelling. Overall, Toxic appears to be a visually ambitious film that may appeal strongly to Yash fans but could leave viewers looking for a tighter and more coherent narrative.

Hy-Tech Engineers IPO GMP: Grey Market Premium Signals Strong Investor Interest

Hy-Tech Engineers IPO GMP: Grey Market Premium Signals Strong Investor Interest The Hy-Tech Engineers IPO has become one of the major talking points in India's IPO market, with strong investor demand and a sharp rise in its grey market premium (GMP). The IPO opened for subscription on August 24 and closes today, August 27, 2026. The company has fixed a price band of ₹50–₹53 per share, while the issue size is approximately ₹135.73 crore. According to the latest available grey-market data, Hy-Tech Engineers' GMP has climbed to around ₹44 per share, equivalent to an indicative premium of about 83% over the upper issue price. At that level, the implied listing price would be close to ₹97. However, GMP is unofficial and can change quickly, so it should not be treated as a guaranteed listing price. Investor participation has also been exceptionally strong. Reports on the final day indicate that the issue was subscribed more than 50 times, reflecting substantial interest from investors. The IPO has a lot size of 283 shares, requiring ₹14,999 at the upper price band. Allotment is expected on August 28, with a tentative listing on BSE and NSE on September 1. Investors should consider the company's fundamentals, financial performance and risk factors rather than relying only on GMP before making an investment decision.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad: Mbappé Hat-Trick Sparks 4-1 Victory

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad: Mbappé Hat-Trick Sparks 4-1 Victory Real Madrid produced a spectacular second-half performance to defeat Real Sociedad 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Kylian Mbappé becoming the biggest talking point for football fans in India. The French superstar scored a brilliant hat-trick as Madrid secured their second consecutive LaLiga victory. The match was closely contested during the opening half. Mbappé gave Real Madrid the lead in the 40th minute, but Real Sociedad quickly responded through Luka Sučić to make it 1-1 before halftime. Madrid supporters had also shown their frustration during a difficult first half. After the break, however, Real Madrid completely changed the tempo. Mbappé restored the lead in the 60th minute following a combination with Jude Bellingham. Vinícius Júnior then added another goal before Mbappé completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute with a composed finish. The result was especially significant because it marked José Mourinho's first home match back at the Bernabéu as Real Madrid manager in more than 13 years. His return, combined with Mbappé's outstanding performance, has made the match one of the major football stories attracting attention among Indian sports fans.

Nepal Floods: Death Toll Rises as Hundreds Remain Missing

Nepal Floods: Death Toll Rises as Hundreds Remain Missing

Nepal Floods: Death Toll Rises as Hundreds Remain Missing.... A devastating flash flood has struck northern Nepal near the Tibet border, causing widespread destruction and triggering a major rescue operation. The disaster has killed at least 165 people, while hundreds of others remain missing as authorities continue searching through areas covered by mud, rocks and flood debris. The flooding severely affected Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and surrounding districts. Roads, bridges, homes and power infrastructure were swept away by the sudden surge. Rescue teams have been using helicopters to reach communities cut off by damaged roads and destroyed bridges. The disaster is also attracting strong attention in India because many Indian nationals are among those reported missing. Nepalese authorities said 177 Indians were missing, including people travelling toward the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage route. The flood appears to have been triggered by a massive collapse of ice and rock in the Himalayan region, sending a powerful surge of water and debris downstream. The Trishuli River and other waterways were heavily affected. Indian authorities are also monitoring the situation closely. Bihar and Uttar Pradesh have been placed on high alert because rivers flowing from Nepal can affect downstream areas in India. India has also sent humanitarian assistance to flood-hit Nepal. Rescue workers remain focused on finding survivors and assisting families searching for missing relatives.

Nepal Tibet Flash Flood Disaster

Nepal Tibet Flash Flood Disaster

Glacial Collapse Triggers Catastrophic Flooding, Hundreds Still Missing Kathmandu, August 27, 2026: A devastating flash flood along the Nepal-China border has caused widespread destruction, sweeping away homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure while rescue teams continue searching for people reported missing. The disaster struck on Wednesday in the Himalayan border region after a huge mass of ice, rock and debris collapsed into a river system, sending a powerful surge of water and mud downstream. The flooding severely affected communities in Nepal's Rasuwa area and the adjoining Tibet region of China. Glacial Collapse Believed to Have Triggered Flood Initial reports had raised the possibility of an earthquake, but subsequent analysis indicated that the seismic signal was associated with the collapse itself rather than a conventional earthquake. Experts examining satellite imagery said part of a glacier at high altitude appears to have broken away and moved rapidly down the mountain, carrying ice, rocks and sediment with it. The resulting debris flow entered the river system and contributed to the catastrophic flooding downstream. However, scientists say investigations are continuing and the precise chain of events still needs to be established. Large Number of People Reported Missing The human toll has continued to change as rescue teams gain access to areas that were cut off by the flood. Reuters reported that at least 165 people had died and nearly 1,500 people were reported missing as of Thursday, with hundreds of foreign nationals among those unaccounted for. Other reports have subsequently given higher casualty figures, highlighting the rapidly changing situation. Officials and rescue agencies are continuing to verify casualty and missing-person figures. Roads, Bridges and Infrastructure Destroyed The flood caused extensive damage across the affected Himalayan valleys. Roads and bridges were washed away, while power and hydropower infrastructure was also damaged. The disaster has also affected the important Gyirong border area, which connects Nepal and China's Tibet region and is significant for cross-border trade and tourism. Damage to transport links could create further difficulties for relief operations and regional commerce. Rescue Operations Underway Nepalese and Chinese authorities are conducting search-and-rescue operations in difficult mountainous conditions. Helicopters and emergency teams are being used to reach isolated communities and evacuate survivors. Rescue efforts have been complicated by damaged roads, continuing weather concerns and the difficult Himalayan terrain. Authorities have urged people in vulnerable areas to remain alert and follow official safety instructions. Climate Change Raises Concern Scientists say the disaster has also renewed concerns about the growing risks facing Himalayan communities as temperatures rise. Warming conditions can accelerate glacier melt and potentially contribute to instability in high-mountain environments. Researchers have cautioned, however, that it is too early to attribute this particular disaster entirely to climate change. A detailed scientific investigation will be needed to determine the contribution of different factors. Who Is Responsible? At present, there is no evidence that a particular individual or government deliberately caused the disaster. The immediate event appears to have been a natural glacial and debris-flow process. Questions about climate change, infrastructure planning, early-warning systems and disaster preparedness are separate issues that may be examined as authorities investigate the catastrophe. Rescue Efforts Continue With many people still unaccounted for, the priority remains locating survivors, recovering those missing and restoring access to affected communities. Officials are expected to provide updated casualty and missing-person figures as search teams reach more areas. The disaster has already emerged as one of the most serious recent emergencies along the Nepal-Tibet Himalayan border. News-National.com will continue to monitor the situation and provide verified updates as more information becomes available.

Teenager killed in West Bank raid as violence toll rises

Teenager killed in West Bank raid as violence toll rises

Hundreds of mourners gathered in the Occupied West Bank to attend the funeral of Islam Ahmad Maher Ajouri, a 14-year-old killed during an Israeli military raid on the Askar Refugee Camp. The funeral reflected deepening grief within Palestinian communities as violence continues to claim young lives across the territory. Ajouri was killed by Israeli gunfire during the operation on the camp, which has long served as home to thousands of displaced Palestinians and their descendants. The presence of hundreds at his funeral underscored the broader impact of ongoing violence on families and communities struggling to maintain stability amid repeated military incursions. Rising Death Toll in the Occupied West Bank Ajouri's death adds to a stark accumulation of fatalities in recent years. Since 2023, more than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers across the Occupied West Bank. This figure reflects a sustained pattern of violence that has affected civilians, including children and teenagers, across the territory. The death toll encompasses casualties from military operations, clashes, and settler-related incidents. The scale of these losses has profound effects on Palestinian society, disrupting families, schools, and communities. The young age of many victims, including Ajouri, highlights the vulnerability of youth in an environment marked by persistent instability. Life in Refugee Camps Refugee camps in the Occupied West Bank exist as densely populated areas established decades ago to shelter Palestinians displaced during earlier conflicts. These settlements have grown into permanent communities where multiple generations now live, often facing overcrowding, limited resources, and restricted movement. Askar, where Ajouri lived and died, is among the territory's established camps. Residents navigate daily challenges including restricted access to services, economic hardship, and the constant threat of military operations. Children growing up in such environments face disrupted education, limited economic opportunities, and psychological stress from ongoing conflict. The presence of military raids within these camps creates additional trauma. Operations can occur with limited warning, affecting entire neighborhoods and leaving families to process sudden loss amid collective grief. Broader Context of Violence The circumstances surrounding Ajouri's death reflect patterns of conflict that have intensified across the Occupied West Bank. Military raids targeting various locations have become frequent occurrences, with civilians often caught in violence intended for other purposes or occurring in areas where civilians live. Palestinian teenagers and young adults have been disproportionately affected by this violence. The loss of young people removes potential leaders, educators, and contributors to Palestinian society while inflicting lasting trauma on communities and families. The funeral gathering demonstrated how such deaths reverberate through Palestinian communities. Hundreds attending the ceremony reflected the interconnected nature of these societies, where losses affect extended networks of family, neighbors, and community members. Impact on Families and Communities The death of a teenager creates immediate and lasting consequences for families. Parents lose children at formative moments in their lives; siblings lose brothers; communities lose peers. These losses accumulate across the territory, creating a collective experience of grief and loss that shapes the psychological and social fabric of Palestinian society. For communities in refugee camps, each death represents not only personal tragedy but also reinforces the precariousness of life under occupation. Families must navigate mourning while continuing to address basic needs and security concerns. The scale of the death toll since 2023 suggests that such funerals have become increasingly common across the Occupied West Bank. The frequency of these gatherings, while demonstrating community solidarity, also underscores the intensity and persistence of the conflict affecting the region. Ajouri's funeral serves as a visible marker of these broader dynamics, bringing together hundreds of people to acknowledge the loss of a young life and, implicitly, the wider context of ongoing violence that claimed more than 1,100 Palestinian lives in recent years.

Entropic's Revenue Soars Past $11.5 Billion in Q2 as IPO Looms

AI startup Entropic saw its revenue jump more than 14-fold in the second quarter, reaching over $11.5 billion as it prepares for a potential blockbuster IPO. NEW YORK — Entropic, the artificial intelligence company behind a popular cloud chatbot, is growing at a staggering pace. New documents show its revenue hit more than $11.5 billion in the second quarter — a huge leap from $787 million a year earlier. That's more than 14 times growth in just one year, according to Bloomberg, which reviewed the preliminary numbers. The company also posted positive adjusted operating income for the quarter. The figures come as Entropic gets ready for a potential initial public offering that could happen as early as this fall. If it goes ahead, the IPO would be one of the first big tests for a major private AI company going public. Entropic has been going head-to-head with OpenAI for business customers, and its software has become a go-to tool for professionals doing everything from coding to data analysis. The company said back in May that its operating income had already passed $47 billion, up from nearly $10 billion in all of 2025. Sources say Entropic's CFO, Krishna Rao, has been leading early meetings with potential investors. So far, those talks have stayed high-level and haven't gotten into specific valuations or financial details. An IPO would give Entropic access to billions in fresh capital — money it needs to keep funding expensive computing infrastructure, secure advanced hardware, and build more specialized data centers. A company spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Entropic, AI, IPO, revenue growth, artificial intelligence, OpenAI, technology news, startup, cloud chatbot

French Family Rescued After 16 Hours Lost at Sea Near Thai Island

A French father and his two young sons were rescued after spending more than 16 hours adrift in the Gulf of Thailand when their jet ski capsized near Koh Samui. BANGKOK  The 50-year-old dad and his sons, aged 5 and 7, rented the jet ski from a local operator around 5 p.m. on Thursday. When they didn't return on time, the operator raised the alarm, triggering a major search operation. Rescuers used speedboats and more jet skis to scour the waters, but the search was called off at night and resumed at dawn. The family was finally spotted around 10 a.m. on Friday. Dramatic footage shows the jet ski completely overturned, with only its triangular front sticking out of the water. One of the boys was seen sitting on the wreckage while his father floated nearby. Both were wearing life jackets. "We found them alive," one rescuer is heard shouting in the video, later helping the boy onto another boat. Local official Amorn Chamchoy said the father and sons looked "pale" and "exhausted from swallowing a lot of seawater," but they were in good health and released from the hospital shortly after being checked. The boys' mother and older sister were waiting anxiously on the shore and the family has since reunited and continued their holiday. Investigators are now looking into why the jet ski capsized just 15 minutes into the ride. The father, who described himself as an experienced rider, said strong waves hit the craft and killed the engine. But the jet ski operator told local media the family may have ventured outside the designated rental zone. Koh Samui is one of Thailand's most popular family destinations, drawing millions of visitors each year with its calm seas and wide range of resorts.

Several Injured in Shooting at Virginia State University, Suspects at Large

Multiple people were wounded in a shooting at Virginia State University early Saturday. Police say several suspects are still on the run and the campus remains on lockdown. PETERSBURG, Va. — Several people were shot and wounded early Saturday at Virginia State University, and police say multiple suspects are still on the run. The university went into lockdown after gunfire broke out around 1:30 a.m. near the Quad Annexes, a residential area on campus. Police were called to the scene and quickly arrived. "The shooting occurred in the Quad Annexes area and involved several victims who have been transported to local hospitals," Virginia State University police said in a statement. "Police are on scene and we ask everyone to avoid the area." The university confirmed that multiple suspects were involved. Officials also said none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. Local station WTVR, citing county police, reported that five people were hurt. The victims were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. The shooting is the latest in a long line of gun violence across the United States. According to the Gun Violence Archive, nearly 300 mass shootings have been recorded in the country so far this year. That group defines a mass shooting as any incident where at least four people are shot or killed. The US has long struggled with a high number of mass shootings, many of which happen at schools and universities. The numbers have fueled repeated calls for stricter federal gun laws, though Congress has not passed major restrictions in years. Virginia State University, located about 20 miles south of Richmond, remains on lockdown as police continue their search for the suspects.
