Neeraj Chopra At Paris Diamond League 2025: When And Where To Watch
Last Updated: Neeraj Chopra aims to set the record straight against Julian Weber at the Paris Diamond League 2025 on June 20 at Stade Sébastien Charléty. Neeraj Chopra stands the chance to set the record straight against Julian Weber at the Paris Diamond League 2025 to be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20.

But Neeraj still finished runners-up after Weber, too, broke the 90m barrier, but with a throw of 91.06m that won him the Doha title. Weber again rained on Chopra's parade at the Janusz Kusocinski Memorial in Chorzow by making a throw of 86.12m above his Indian rival's 84.14. Neeraj will be eyeing his first major title of the year by converting the recent runners-up finishes into a memorable championship triumph before the top rung of javelin throwers convene in Bengaluru on July 5 for the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic. Neeraj will be the only Indian competing at the Paris Diamond League, which also marks his return to the event for the first time since 2017. As is often the case in this era in javelin, the competition will be stiff. Apart from Weber, Neeraj will be challenged for supremacy by Olympic bronze medalist Anderson Peters of Grenada, along with Keshorn Walcott, Julius Yego, Luiz Mauricio da Silva and Andrian Mardare. Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem won't be present at the event. Remi Rougetet will be the local representative. When And Where will Neeraj Chopra's event at the Paris Diamond League 2025 be held? The Paris Diamond League 2025 will be held at the Stade Sébastien Charléty in France late at night on Friday, June 20. The Neeraj Chopra javelin event kicks off at 1:12 AM IST (subject to change). How can I watch Neeraj Chopra's event at the Paris Diamond League 2025? Indian viewers can watch the live telecast of the Neeraj Chopra javelin throw event at the Paris Diamond League on Network 18 channels, with Viacom18 holding the Indian broadcasting rights. The Paris Diamond League will be available for live streaming on the JioHotstar app. First Published: June 19, 2025, 23:35 IST

Mission Impossible 8 India Day 8 Box Office: Tom Cruise starrer adds Rs 4 crore to total
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, the much-hyped eighth and final installment in the long-running spy action franchise, continues its box office run with steady but unspectacular numbers. After a moderate first week total of Rs 51.50 crore in India, the film added Rs 3.25 crore on day 7 and Rs 4.00 crore on day 8 (second Saturday), showing a respectable bump from the previous day but still falling short of expectations for a franchise finale of this scale. Here's a breakdown of the film's India box office performance: Despite carrying the weight of being the decade-spanning franchise's finale and featuring Tom Cruise in what many believed would be a climactic farewell, The Final Reckoning has performed without the fireworks expected from a tentpole of this stature. With a staggering budget reportedly between USD 300–400 million, international returns will definitely be closely monitored by Paramount, and the studio sadly won't have much to see from the Indian market. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who co-wrote the screenplay with Erik Jendresen, the film sees Cruise return as Ethan Hunt alongside franchise veterans Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. The production faced several hurdles, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strike, which halted filming for months. Originally planned as Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film eventually received a new title and identity to mark its standalone significance. Shot across stunning global locations like the UK, Norway, Malta, and South Africa, the film had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, followed by a screening out of competition at Cannes on May 14. It was released theatrically in the US on May 23, a week after its India debut on May 17, to largely critical reviews praising its action choreography, Cruise's commitment to the project, and the emotional beats elevating the stakes. MI8's India distributors, Viacom18, would hope the buzz in the West filters into India after its release there, encouraging the masses to start showing up in theaters in large numbers soon to turn the film's local fate.

Not Aamir Khan or Ranbir Kapoor: This A-list actress outsmarts top Bollywood stars in money management; CA reveals
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Katrina Kaif's Financial Acumen Aamir Khan's Profit-Sharing Approach When it comes to managing money in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif stands out as the most financially astute among top stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan.

He pointed out that Katrina Kaif is notably sharp and actively involved in her financial matters, unlike Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan, whom he described as relatively indifferent to money. Parekh said, 'Katrina Kaif is the sharpest. She takes an interest. Aamir and Ranbir are not that bothered! Then Ritesh Sidhwani and Krishna DK (of Raj-DK director duo) are sharp as well, they understand money.'Parekh's connection with Ranbir Kapoor extends beyond managing his finances; he is also co-owner of Ranbir's football team. Reflecting on the involvement of Ranbir's late father, Rishi Kapoor, Parekh revealed that Rishi had the final say in the team's ownership and insisted that someone from the Kapoor family oversee its operations. According to Parekh, Rishi was open to collaborations but wanted family involvement to ensure proper of the most revealing parts of Parekh's discussion was about Aamir Khan's approach to remuneration. Parekh claims to have been the first to introduce the profit-sharing or backend payment model to Aamir, deviating from the common practice of upfront fees. 'No upfront fee, but profit sharing. This way, Laal Singh Chadha, the studio (Viacom 18) still made money, while Aamir made little,' Parekh explained. He further added that for Dangal, Aamir did earn well from this model.

I never get paid until the film makes any profit… I don't regret it either. If the film has not worked well, it is on me to take the responsibility for it.' He explained his preference not to charge based on shooting days, unlike some actors who bill by the number of days regardless of a film's success. Aamir emphasized, 'I can't let my producer suffer for my creatives.'

Not Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan, THIS Punjabi bahurani is smartest with money in Bollywood, find out
When it comes to money management in Bollywood, it's Katrina Kaif who truly stands out, not Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, or even Aamir Khan. Surprised? That's right! The ever-smart Punjabi bahurani has proven she's got sharp financial instincts, and this revelation might just catch fans off guard. In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Bimal Parekh, who has long served as Aamir Khan' s chartered accountant, offered insights into the financial habits of Bollywood celebrities. He pointed out that despite being among the industry's top stars, both Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor tend to be quite relaxed about handling their finances. Parekh noted that the two actors don't have a strong grasp of money matters. Katrina Kaif is the sharpest when it comes to finances 'Katrina Kaif is the sharpest. She takes an interest. Aamir and Ranbir are not that bothered! Then Ritesh Sidhwani and Krishna DK (of Raj-DK director duo) are sharp as well, they understand money," he shared Bimal Parekh, who not only manages Ranbir Kapoor's finances but also co-owns his football team, revealed that it was the late Rishi Kapoor who had the final say regarding the team's ownership. According to Bimal, Rishi was open to the partnership but insisted that a family member be actively involved in overseeing the team's operations. Bimal also revealed that he was the first to introduce the full backend payment model in Aamir Khan's case. He explained that under this arrangement, Aamir would not take an upfront fee but instead opt for profit-sharing. According to Bimal, this model allowed the studio Viacom18 to profit from Laal Singh Chaddha, even though Aamir earned a relatively small amount. In contrast, Aamir earned well from Dangal. Bimal mentioned that this approach was introduced at a time when most actors preferred charging upfront fees. He also recalled Aamir once telling him that he deliberately charged lower fees to ensure his producers wouldn't suffer losses. Surprised by this, Bimal had suggested that a more effective approach would be to skip the fee altogether and rely solely on backend profits.
