Speaking to mid-day, Relia reflects on the strange longevity of music, viral rediscovery, and his latest experimental leap with the title track for Madhuri Dixit Nene’s new series, Mrs Deshpande. “It’s a strange yet surprisingly beautiful feeling, Dhanak came out almost ten years ago, and suddenly this track has gone viral. I suppose good music finds its way to people eventually.” Madhuri Dixit Nene in Mrs Deshpande; (right) A still from Dhanak Relia admits the delayed recognition can be unsettling, but he has made peace with it. “It’s taken a little too long for comfort,” he laughs, “but I really have no complaints. What’s reassuring is that people are responding to something that isn’t designed as a viral hook.

05 January,2026 07:22 AM IST | Mumbai | Mohar BasuActor Finn Wolfhard, popularly known for playing Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things, has spoken about his return to the IT universe and shooting to stardom at an early age. With the first season of the spin-off series IT: Welcome to Derry now finished, Wolfhard has hinted that he could return to the IT franchise in the future. He played Richie Tozier in the 2017 film It and its 2019 sequel, It: Chapter Two. His character’s influence is reflected in the 2025 spin-off series, keeping Richie’s legacy alive in the IT universe. Speaking about whether he was aware that a picture of Richie would appear in Welcome to Derry, Wolfhard said: “I knew that years ago, actually. When they first started thinking about that show, it was probably 2021.” “(Creators) Barbara and Andy Muschietti both told me, ‘You’re involved.’ Yeah, I’m connected. I think there’s something else that will come up eventually that I’m excited for people to see.” Reflecting on shooting to stardom at a young age, the actor said it had been a surreal and difficult experience growing up in the spotlight, reports femalefirst.co.uk. He said: “No one can prepare anyone for it. It was incredibly exciting … but there was a period in my teenage years where it was just hard.” IT, which is based on author Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel of the same name, follows a group of bullied kids known as the Losers’ Club in the town of Derry as they band together after children begin disappearing without a trace. As they confront their fears, the Losers’ Club discover the terror haunting them is a shape-shifting evil that feeds on fear and never truly goes away. As well as Wolfhard, IT stars Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, Jaeden Martell as Bill Denroguh, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris and Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Following the two movies, IT was expanded with the prequel show IT: Welcome to Derry, which details the origins of Pennywise and Derry’s cursed history.

03 January,2026 12:19 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe New Year began with the conclusion of Stranger Things after nine and a half years for fans of the Netflix series. The Right Side Up wrapped up the stories of all the major characters, after Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will (Noah Schnapp), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Joyce (Winona Ryder), and the rest of the Hawkins heroes ventured into the Abyss to defeat the Mind Flayer and kill Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) once and for all. Over the seasons, the story opened several narrative threads. However, not all of them received a conclusive ending. Stranger Things spin-off One of the biggest questions viewers were left with after the finale episode was whether Eleven is truly dead and the origin of the mysterious rock for which Henry Creel killed a man in the cave. The Duffer Brothers will not be wasting any time and are diving into a Stranger Things spin-off, they revealed in a conversation with Variety after the season finale. They confirmed that the spin-off will dig deeper into the mysterious rock that transformed Henry Creel into Vecna. “The spin-off is going to delve into that and explain it, and you’re going to understand it. But it’s a completely different mythology. It’s not a deep exploration of the Mind Flayer or anything like that. It’s very fresh and very new, but yes, it will answer some of the loose threads that are remaining,” they said. However, fans should not expect familiar faces to return. The creators clarified that the spin-off will feature “completely new characters, a new town, a new world, and a new mythology.” About Will’s coming-out scene There was considerable chatter online about Will’s (Noah Schnapp) coming-out scene, with some viewers questioning its placement in the larger narrative. Addressing the criticism, Ross Duffer said, “The coming-out scene is something we’ve been building toward for nine years. It was incredibly important for us and for Noah — not just thematically, but narratively as well. This show has always been about our characters overcoming evil, and Vecna represents the darkest thoughts and evils of society. To defeat him, our characters must embrace who they are and come together.” Matt Duffer added, “Volume 1 is really about self-acceptance, that’s step one. Step two is Will talking to Robin. He knows he needs to come out, and that it’s the final step for him. Finding the courage to do that is the ultimate ‘f*** you’ to Vecna. That was always the intention.”
02 January,2026 03:21 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActress Cara Buono, best known for her role as Karen Wheeler in the popular series Stranger Things, is welcoming the New Year on a light-hearted note with her new “bestie", Vecna, played by Jamie Campbell Bower. Cara took to Instagram to share a picture of herself with Jamie, who is dressed as the menacing Vecna, as the two sit atop a golf cart. The image appears to be from the sets of the recently concluded series Stranger Things, offering fans a fun behind-the-scenes glimpse. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cara Buono (@carabuono) In the caption, the actress reminded fans to keep things in perspective, writing that the New Year is “just a calendar change,” while wishing everyone a happy start to 2026. She wrote: “Rolling into the new year with my bestie Vecna. Friendly reminder: it’s just a calendar change. Happy New Year! Oh yeah, not Alice Creel. strangerthings golf newyear besties.” Stranger Things combines elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, and coming-of-age drama. Set in the 1980s, the series centers on the residents of the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, after a young girl with psychokinetic abilities, named Eleven, opens a gateway between Earth and a hostile alternate dimension known as the Upside Down at a nearby human experimentation facility.

02 January,2026 01:45 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSAfter a month and three volumes later, we finally have the complete picture of peace being restored in the small town of Hawkins in Stranger Things. The gang manages to shut the Upside Down for good after killing Vecna, the enemy who had terrorised their lives. Thankfully, all our favourite characters survive the murky, life-threatening situations.

The group is caught at the gate just as they return from their mission. However, before Dr Kay can reach her, Eleven sacrifices herself by stepping back into the Upside Down moments before a bomb detonates. The story then jumps 18 months into the future. Mike is still deeply troubled by Eleven’s sacrifice but comes up with his own theory about what may have truly happened and that El is still alive and thriving. So what really happened? Speaking to Netflix, the Duffer Brothers addressed the ambiguous ending. “There are two roads that Eleven could take—one darker and more pessimistic, the other optimistic and hopeful. Mike is the optimist of the group and has chosen to believe in that story,” they explained. Ross Duffer added, “There was never a version where Eleven was hanging out with the gang at the end. We didn’t want to take her powers away—she represents magic and the magic of childhood. For the characters to move on and for Hawkins and the Upside Down to truly close, Eleven had to go away. We felt it was beautiful that they continue to believe in a happier ending, even without a clear answer.” Matt Duffer further noted, “If Eleven is out there, the most they can hope for is believing it’s true because they can’t be in contact with her. This was the best way to keep her alive emotionally, while allowing Mike and the others to find a way to move forward."
01 January,2026 07:21 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTransforming Jamie Campbell Bower into the nightmarish Vecna in Stranger Things 5 is a painstaking process that blends traditional makeup artistry with cutting-edge visual effects. Far from being a fully digital character, Vecna is largely created through practical effects, allowing Bower’s performance to remain at the heart of the terrifying transformation. A look at Bower's transformation Each shooting day begins extremely early, with the special effects team spending nearly seven hours applying layers of prosthetic makeup to Bower’s face, head, shoulders and hands. The prosthetics are carefully sculpted to resemble exposed muscles, burnt skin and decaying flesh, giving Vecna his raw, organic appearance. Every piece is custom-made and fitted to Bower’s body so that he can move naturally and convey emotion despite the heavy makeup. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lone Pine Film (@lonepine_film) To make Vecna appear more imposing, additional padding is added around the shoulders and torso, along with subtle lifts in the footwear to increase Bower’s height. His body is wrapped in a specially designed suit that serves as the base for both physical textures and later digital enhancements. This suit allows the makeup team and VFX artists to work together seamlessly, blending real materials with computer-generated details. All about the character Vecna While much of Vecna’s look is achieved practically, CGI plays a crucial role in enhancing the character. Digital effects are used to add creeping vines, pulsating textures and unnatural movements that would be impossible to create physically. These elements are layered over the practical makeup, ensuring the character feels alive and unsettling rather than artificial. The extensive makeup significantly influences Bower’s performance. Restricted by the weight and texture of the prosthetics, he adopts a slower, more deliberate movement style that adds to Vecna’s menacing presence. Even small details, such as the glossy finish on the skin, are carefully applied to create a wet, disturbing effect under the show’s lighting. The result is a frighteningly realistic villain brought to life through patience, endurance and collaboration. By combining hours of hands-on makeup work with advanced visual effects, Stranger Things 5 continues to raise the bar for on-screen creature design, making Vecna one of television’s most memorable antagonists.

Mike is still deeply troubled by Eleven’s sacrifice but comes up with his own theory about what may have truly happened. During a Dungeons & Dragons game, he tells his friends that he believes Kali did not actually die and instead cast an illusion spell in the Upside Down, giving Eleven enough time to escape. While everyone thought they saw Eleven at the gate, Mike believes she fled through the tunnels so her friends could remain safe. He also imagines Eleven living peacefully in a faraway town, surrounded by waterfalls, just as they once dreamed. The Duffer brothers on Stranger Things finale So what really happened?

01 January,2026 08:11 AM IST | Mumbai | Letty Mariam AbrahamNetflix has released the final trailer for the final episode of the final season of Stranger Things. The battle for Hawkins is far from over. Eleven and her friends prepare to face Vecna one last time as he unleashes the wrath of two worlds colliding on Hawkins. Titled 'The Rightside Up,' the finale is the eighth episode in the show's fifth and final season. Netflix released the first four episodes of Season 5 on Thanksgiving Day as Volume 1 and then the subsequent three episodes on Christmas as Volume 2. Stranger Things finale trailer out The official synopsis for the finale episode reads, “Stranger Things finale trailer out: Prepare for a final battle as worlds collide.” The trailer has left fans feeling nostalgic, as it begins with flashbacks of all the adventures that Eleven and her friends have had over the last five seasons. The focus shifts to an emotional Jim Hopper, who, in a voiceover, inspires Eleven to fight one last time, for the sake of her friends, the world, and for the days that await them after all of this is over. This sets the tone for a showdown driven as much by emotion as spectacle. A clip shows the group entering the Hawkins lab inside the eerie and dark Upside Down, and the subsequent attacks they face as they try to rescue Holly and the other children. Eleven enters Vecna’s mind to kill him, and possibly score some of the deaths. A clip of Dustin crying and looking distraught while being pulled away by a soldier has given rise to speculation about Steve's death, since they share the closest bond in the show. The final line of the trailer is “Let’s end this, Kid,” spoken by Hopper to Eleven, hinting at the epic battle between Vecna and all the characters of the show. The finale picks up from where Volume 2 concluded, where Max (Sadie Sink) reveals Vecna's plan to merge the world with a parallel dimension on the other side of the Upside Down. Vecna, disguised as Henry Creel, makes his victims join hands in a spellbinding seance as they are transported to the Abyss. Who dies in the finale? So far in the series, none of the main characters have died. However, the finale trailer hints at the possibility of Steve and Hopper dying. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Duffer, one of the creators of the show, tentatively refuted the possibility. He explained that the team did not want to introduce a twist just for the sake of shocking or disturbing fans, comparing it to the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones' season 3 finale. "It’s not Game of Thrones. It’s just a very different type of show than that. There’s not going to be a Red Wedding situation. I think some things happen in the finale that are very surprising, but we’re not trying to shock or upset anyone. I hope by the time people get to the end of the finale that it just feels like there’s something inevitable about what happens, and that it doesn’t feel painful but feels satisfying. We’ll see." Touching upon Steve's fate briefly, he added, "But as for Steve’s fate. I don’t know. I can’t say. It would be the next logical step. He keeps getting beaten up more and more. The only way we could take it further is death." The final episode will stream at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix on New Year's Eve, Wednesday, December 31. The final episode has been slightly extended and will now run for two hours and eight minutes, up from the previously announced two hours and five minutes.
