Samay Raina fans can't keep calm as India's Got Latent Clips returns to YouTube, ‘IGL will be back soon'

Samay Raina fans can't keep calm as India's Got Latent Clips channel has apparently returned to YouTube. Social media users claim that all the videos in the channel were made private after the Ranveer Allahbadia controversy.
LiveMint could not independently verify the claim that the channel had 'returned' to YouTube since it could not be confirmed if it ever became private in the first place. It cannot be confirmed whether the channel is owned by Samay Raina or is a YouTube channel run by a fan.
When we checked, the channel had 522 videos. It also includes clips of members-only episodes.
Meanwhile, Samay Raina fans on Reddit have started celebrating the reported return. Many of them consider it a 'win' for the standup comedian.
'Sab Samay ka khel hai,' commented one user.
'Now that it has arrived, the Samay Raina channel will also return, right?' came from another.
Another user observed, 'I watched a few clips, they have beeped out most of the abuses it seems before making them public.'
However, not every fan thinks India's Got Latent will return.
'I don't think latent is gonna come back with all that has happened. No. Samay is very family-oriented and would not like his family to go through all that again. So, no,' wrote one user.
'He might start another show. Maybe, the podcast rumour is true and it was not just for ads but a way to show a glimpse,' the user added.
However, another user contradicted, 'I have insider info, IGL will be back! Soon! But not in ways many people are expecting.'
Samay Raina deleted all videos from his show India's Got Latent from YouTube after a major controversy involving guest Ranveer Allahbadia. Ranveer allegedly made 'inappropriate' comments on the show, which sparked backlash and led to multiple complaints across India.
Shortly after the backlash, Samay shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had deleted all the videos. He clarified that his aim was to make people laugh, not offend anyone.
He admitted the situation had become too stressful to handle. With the videos gone, people wondered what would happen to the money earned from those videos.
YouTube's policy says that if a creator breaks the rules, the platform may take action and hold back payments. However, no such action is expected for users who delete their videos.
By removing all the episodes (or making them private) from the playlist, Samay Raina might have avoided YouTube's action against the violation of policies. He retained his channel to ensure visibility on YouTube and earn revenue in future.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan-starrer sees slow start; mints THIS amount

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par is predicted to have a slow start at the box office. The film was released on Friday. Directed by RS Prasanna, it is the spiritual sequel of Taare Zameen Par. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par made a business of ₹ 4.76 crore on Friday, June 20. It is to be noted that this is the live data from the website and subject to changes. The final figures will be out post 10 pm. The Aamir Khan movie was reported to release in theatres with over ₹ 6 crore business on day 1 if advance booking is considered. As per the website, the film had sold 1,15,344 tickets for 9,542 shows in all languages nationwide in advance booking. Without blocked seats, the Aamir Khan sequel was poised to make a business of ₹ 3.31 crore from advance booking ticket sales. In total, the film was said to open with ₹ 6.88 crore gross earnings, including blocked seats. The film is following a strictly theatrical release policy which means it might not see its OTT release soon or ever. The film is also experimenting with several new strategies, as per a report of Bollywood Hungama. It is majorly clashing with Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, which has now slowed down at the ticket window. Talking about Sitaare Zameen Par's box office performance trends and early estimates, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh told Live Mint that Aamir's film will rely on word-of-mouth. He said, "The advance booking is not in sync with the star status of Aamir Khan. Yes, the advances should have been better because Aamir Khan returns to the big screen after a big gap with his own production, starring in it. It should have been better. I genuinely believe Sitaare Zameen Par is a word-of-mouth film. It should grow with word of mouth.' Going by the early reviews from the audience, the film has been dubbed as a 'well-intentioned film.' Critics reviews also hailed Aamir Khan's performance in the film. Sitaare Zameen Par is said to be the Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Campeones. Besides Aamir, it also has Genelia D'Souza. It also features 10 special actors who marked their acting debut on this Friday.

I'm not even counting his first-class matches," he added, noting that Sachin spent almost 200 days a year outdoors, "touching grass". According to the comedian, Redditors are known for staying indoors. So, someone as active as Sachin Tendulkar is the complete opposite. "Sorry. No one who has gone outside and touched that much grass is allowed to endorse Reddit. It is just antithetical to its values," Rohan Joshi concluded.
