Must-see reasons for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′ emotional galactic finale
Mumbai: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy series has been a worldwide hit, and it’s not just because of the thrilling adventures, action-packed scenes, and stunning visuals. From Baby Groot’s cuteness to Rocket’s wit to the heart-warming camaraderie between the Guardians, and not to forget the romance between Gamora and Star-Lord, people can’t seem to get enough of this entertaining bunch. The wait is finally over as the eagerly anticipated third instalment of the series, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, has hit the cinemas today, and we are buzzing with excitement. For those who are still unsure about watching this superhero action flick, here are five reasons why we believe it’s a must-watch:
Humour is out of this world
The first two instalments of the Guardians of the Galaxy series were filled with clever wit and humour, with jokes being cracked even during intense and serious situations such as battles against dangerous intergalactic criminals. Star Lord’s gang is full of sarcasm, witty humour, and a healthy dose of second-hand embarrassment. Based on the trailer (remember Peter and Nebula’s awkward interaction?), Vol. 3 promises to be just as, if not more, humorous than its predecessors. We dare say that the Guardians are the most comical band of heroes in the Marvel universe.
Packed full of surprises
If you’ve watched the Avengers movie series, then you know about Star-Lord’s biggest heartbreak – losing the love of his life, Gamora. However, the trailer for Vol. 3 reveals that things may not be exactly as they seem. Additionally, our beloved Baby Groot has grown up, and Nebula has found a new family among the Guardians. It would be a shame to miss out on these exciting new developments in the Guardians’ story.
Rocket’s backstory
Throughout the films, Rocket has always exuded an ultra-cool, gangster vibe and has made us laugh with his sarcastic humour. However, his current personality is a stark contrast to his tough and depressing past, which was full of torture and exploitation. A significant portion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 focuses on his journey – from growing up in confinement under a sadistic captor to becoming a mercenary to ultimately saving the world from Thanos. Watch the film to discover Rocket’s life story.
James Gunn’s parting gift
Director James Gunn holds a special place in our hearts for bringing us the Guardians of the Galaxy film series. Unfortunately, his journey with Marvel ends with the Guardians. Just like the previous two instalments, he promises to deliver thrilling action and adventure while maintaining a high comical quotient. This movie also promises to touch your heart and soul, leaving you emotional in more ways than one.
A Marvel-lous goodbye
All good things must come to an end and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks the final instalment in the franchise. This makes it a must-see for Marvel fans and superhero enthusiasts alike. The film is expected to tie up loose ends and provide a satisfying conclusion to the characters’ stories. Don’t miss out on bidding a final farewell to our beloved Guardians!”
In conclusion, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 promises to be a fantastic movie that will take the audience on a thrilling and emotional ride. The beloved characters, stunning visual effects, emotional depth, and satisfying conclusion make it worth it.
This movie deserves to be watched on the big screens with the utmost cinematic experience, so hurry up and book your tickets at the nearest PVR INOX theatres!

Remembering Chuck Norris: the man, the myth, the legend at 86
From martial arts legend to internet folklore, fans honour his final level up
KAUAI: The world lost a legend on 19 March 2026, when Chuck Norris died aged 86. For a man long treated as immortal in internet folklore, the news felt almost unreal. Yet in true Norris fashion, the farewell has been less about mourning and more about myth-making.
Just days before his passing, on his 86th birthday, Norris shared a video from Kauaʻi, Hawaii, showing him sparring under the sun. His caption was characteristically wry: “I don’t age. I level up.” It now reads like a final wink to fans who had spent years elevating him to near-superhuman status.
His death followed a sudden medical emergency while on holiday. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, who described him not just as a global symbol of strength, but as a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
Online, grief quickly gave way to tribute in the language Norris helped popularise. Social media filled with one last wave of “Chuck Norris Facts”, the tongue-in-cheek myths that turned him into a digital demigod. The jokes wrote themselves, as always. Death did not take Norris, it finally dared to meet him.
Behind the humour, however, lies a formidable real-world legacy.
Long before the memes, Norris was Carlos Ray Norris, a decorated martial artist. After serving in the US Air Force, he rose to become a six-time world professional middleweight karate champion. His on-screen duel with Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon remains one of cinema’s most iconic fight sequences.
Through the 1980s, he became the face of action cinema with films such as Missing in Action and The Delta Force, embodying a stoic, no-nonsense hero. In the 1990s, he reached living rooms worldwide as Cordell Walker in Walker, Texas Ranger, blending Western grit with martial arts flair.
Off-screen, his work carried equal weight. His foundation, Kickstart Kids, continues to teach martial arts to at-risk youth, focusing on discipline and self-worth. He also founded Chun Kuk Do, a martial arts system that trained thousands.
What made Norris unique was not just his strength, but his willingness to laugh at it. When the internet transformed him into an exaggerated symbol of invincibility, he embraced the joke. In doing so, he bridged generations, from cinema-goers to meme-makers.
His passing marks more than the loss of an action star. It signals the fading of a rare cultural crossover, where genuine athletic prowess met Hollywood heroism and early internet humour.
For many, remembering Chuck Norris means recalling a time when heroes were simple, punches were decisive and the internet still felt like a playground of shared jokes.
And if the myths are to be believed, this is not quite the end. It is simply Chuck Norris moving on to his next level.
