Entertainment Brief: Bollywood Flops, Evgeny Kissin Labeled 'Foreign Agent', Weinstein Retrial Set

Entertainment news updates include PVR Inox reporting a doubled first-quarter loss due to underperforming Bollywood movies, Russia branding pianist Evgeny Kissin as a 'foreign agent' over his Ukraine war stance, and Harvey Weinstein's retrial on rape charges tentatively scheduled for November 12 in New York City.

India's largest multiplex operator, PVR Inox, posted a drastic first-quarter loss of 1.79 billion rupees, attributed to the poor performance of Bollywood movies. Formed by a merger earlier this year, the company's quarterly loss more than doubled compared to the previous year's 816 million rupees.

Renowned pianist Evgeny Kissin has been labeled a 'foreign agent' by Russia due to his vocal support for Ukraine and opposition to the ongoing conflict. The Moscow-born artist, who holds both British and Israeli citizenship, is globally recognized for his contributions to the arts.

Harvey Weinstein is set to be retried on rape charges in Manhattan, with a tentative date of November 12 set. Judge Curtis Farber indicated a possible earlier start depending on the discovery process, with Weinstein's defense team advocating for a speedy trial.
