Chinas expansionist outlook warrants vigilance, preparedness: Arunachal Governor
Itanagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen K.T. Parnaik (Retd) on Saturday cautioned that Chinas contemporary strategic outlook continues to reflect expansionist tendencies, as evident from its territorial claims and assertive posturing along disputed borders. Addressing the PIC-CCAS China Conference-2026 at the Pune International Centre (PIC), the Governor, referring to Chinas claims over Arunachal Pradesh and areas in Ladakh, stressed that India must remain vigilant, united and prepared to safeguard its territorial integrity and national interests. Drawing upon his extensive military and strategic experience, the Governor described China as Indias civilisation neighbour, a nation with which India shares centuries of cultural and historical interactions. Lt Gen Parnaik (Retd) highlighted the remarkable transformation of China under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, noting its rise as a major economic, technological, and military power. He observed that China has systematically expanded its influence across Asia, Africa, and other regions through infrastructure investments, financial assistance, and initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). While acknowledging the scale of Chinas global outreach, the Governor stressed the need for countries in the region to carefully assess the strategic implications of such engagements. Focusing on Arunachal Pradesh, he underlined the states immense strategic significance as Indias eastern frontier. He stated that the people residing in border areas are vital stakeholders in national security and their presence, local knowledge, resilience, and commitment to the nation contribute significantly to border management and situational awareness. The Governor emphasised that empowered and prosperous border communities serve as the strongest guardians of the nations frontiers. He also highlighted the Government of Indias sustained efforts to strengthen infrastructure and connectivity in border regions through improved road networks, communication systems, and development initiatives. Such measures, he noted, not only enhance operational preparedness but also improve the quality of life of border residents, thereby reinforcing the nations security architecture. Underscoring the importance of informed strategic discourse, the Governor said that understanding Chinas evolving political, military, economic, and technological landscape is essential for shaping effective national policies. He called for greater collaboration among policymakers, scholars, strategic thinkers, and security experts to build a comprehensive understanding of emerging geopolitical realities and ensure that India remains prepared to meet future challenges with confidence and clarity. The conference featured insightful deliberations by eminent strategic thinkers and policymakers, including Jayadeva Ranade, President of CCAS; Dr Vijay Kelkar, Vice President of PIC; former Ambassador to Bhutan and China and former High Commissioner to Pakistan, Gautam Bambawale; and former Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande. Drawing upon their vast experience in diplomacy, governance, and national security, they shared valuable perspectives on Chinas evolving role, regional security dynamics, and the emerging geopolitical challenges and opportunities for India. The conference brought together leading scholars, policymakers, strategic analysts, and domain experts from across the country to deliberate on issues of profound national and regional significance. The discussions focused on key themes such as India-China bilateral relations and border dynamics, evolving military and security developments, emerging trade and economic trends, rapid advancements in technology, innovation, and the digital domain, and the changing geopolitical and strategic landscape of Asia.

Manoj Bajpayee praises Tukaram Mundhes dedication; says, Honesty makes you a celebrity
Manoj Bajpayee has praised Maharashtra food safety commissioner Tukaram Mundhe for his commitment to duty and public service. Mundhe has been receiving attention for his strict approach to food safety since taking charge of the department, with his inspections and action against businesses violating safety regulations drawing public notice. Speaking to ANI, Bajpayee reflected on how society perceives people who perform their responsibilities with honesty and dedication. According to the actor, it is surprising that individuals who simply carry out their assigned duties sincerely often end up becoming widely recognised. A police officer, or, lets say, Tukaram, is appointed to do a certain job. When he performs his duties with complete honesty and dedication, people find it surprising that he starts going viral. Have you realised this? Bajpayee said. The actor further pointed out that the popularity such officials receive says something about the current state of society. He added, This simply means that when someone is performing their duty with complete honesty, he becomes a celebrity. And that itself tells us where we, as a society, have reached. Mundhe, who recently took charge as commissioner of Maharashtras food safety body, has been conducting inspections and taking action against food establishments found to be flouting food safety rules. His strict working style has brought increased attention to the importance of maintaining food safety standards. Meanwhile, Bajpayee is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Last Man in Tower. Directed by Ben Rekhi and produced by Rana Daggubatis Spirit Media, the film is based on Aravind Adigas novel of the same name. The movie also stars Divya Dutta and Boman Irani. In the film, Bajpayee plays Masterji, a retired schoolteacher whose decision to oppose the wishes of his community creates tension among the residents of his building. The story explores the choices, relationships and conflicts that emerge when the residents are confronted with a major change. Last Man in Tower is scheduled to arrive in cinemas across India on September 11. Also Read : Manoj Bajpayee buys 4.45-acre land parcel in Punes Mulshi for Rs 1.37 crore: Report

Star Cast: Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, Jitendra Kumar Director: Gurmmeet Singh Mirzapur The Movie Review Synopsis: MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE is the story of power and ambition. Akhandanand Tripathi aka Kaleen Bhaiyya (Pankaj Tripathi) is the undisputed king, or baahubali, of Mirzapur. He has little faith in his son, Phoolchand Tripathi aka Munna (Divyenndu), and is far more impressed by the abilities of Govind Pandit aka Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Vinay Pandit aka Bablu (Jitendra Kumar). Meanwhile, J P Yadav (Pramod Pathak) puts pressure on Kaleen Bhaiyya to arrange funds for his upcoming election campaign. In order to raise the money, Kaleen begins looking for a new supplier. This is when Bablu gets a tip about Babban Yadav (Ravi Kishan), a Jaisalmer-based businessman who is looking to sell seven truckloads of drugs. However, Babban has an ulterior motive he intends to eliminate Kaleen Bhaiyya. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Mirzapur The Movie Story Review: Puneet Krishna's story is impressive and organically fits into the MIRZAPUR universe. Puneet Krishna's screenplay is very captivating and peppered with strong confrontational and action sequences. However, the writing in the middle of the second half leaves a lot to be desired. Puneet Krishna's dialogues are one of the highlights. A few one-liners are sure to be lapped up by the masses and could also go viral on social media. Gurmmeet Singh's direction is mass-appealing. MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE is a unique experiment as it takes a popular web-series universe to the big screen. Moreover, it is not a continuation of the most recent season that dropped digitally. Instead, its story is set between Episodes 6 and 7 of the first season. This is a challenging proposition since the developments in the film cannot contradict or affect what happens subsequently in the series. In this regard, the writer emerges victorious, while Gurmmeet Singh also ensures that the continuity and essence of the MIRZAPUR universe remain intact. The film has a runtime of more than three hours, and yet, one doesn't get bored even for a moment. The action sequences may not be in abundance, but the film compensates with several powerful dramatic face-offs that elevate the impact. Some of the scenes that leave a mark are Guddus tu-tu main-main with his father while his mother tries on the woollen clothes, Guddu and Munnas encounter at the salon, Babbans argument with Vasudha Pandit (Sheeba Chaddha) and Guddus first meeting with Babban. However, the scene that takes the cake is the one in which Munna admonishes J P Yadav. It is sure to create a frenzy among the masses. The finale, too, is bound to get a roaring response in cinemas. On the flipside, the film gets a bit stretched in the post-interval portions, while the romantic sequences feel forced. In fact, except for Beena Tripathi (Rasika Dugal) and Mumtaz Bibi (Sonal Chauhan), the rest of the actresses dont have much to do. Babbans decision to eliminate Kaleen Bhaiyya also seems unconvincing, as he doesnt have a strong enough motive to take such an extreme step. Moreover, the film is predictable because, as mentioned earlier, it is set in the middle of the first season. Hence, one is already aware of the fate of several characters. As a result, a crucial scene in which a characters heart stops beating has limited impact since the viewer knows that the character will survive. Mirzapur The Movie Review Performances: Pankaj Tripathi delivers a supreme performance. Right from the first sequence, he ensures one forgets his light-hearted and comic avatars and sees him as the King of Mirzapur. Ali Fazal is terrific in his massiest performance to date. He plays to the gallery perfectly without going overboard. Divyenndu, too, puts his best foot forward and ensures that viewers get their moneys worth. Apart from his massy scenes, his emotional portion in the beginning also stands out. Jitendra Kumar had a big responsibility as hes replacing Vikrant Massey. But he manages to effortlessly slip into the character. Ravi Kishan is too good. His fan following has gone through the roof lately and thankfully, the makers here have done full justice to his character, especially in the finale. Pramod Pathak, Sheeba Chaddha and Rasika Dugal have limited screen time, but they leave a tremendous mark. Sonal Chauhan looks stunning and delivers a fair performance; an actress who deserves to be seen more. Abhishek Banerjee (Subodh aka Compunder), Kulbhushan Kharbanda (Satyanand Tripathi), Shaji Choudhary (Maqbool) and Anangsha Biswas (Zarina) lend able support. Shweta Tripathi (Golu) and Shriya Pilgaonkar (Sweety) are impressive. Sadly, they dont have much to do. Harshita Gaur (Dimpy) is wasted. Sushant Singh (Bhairav Singh Karnawat) and Rajesh Tailang (Ramakant Pandit) are dependable. Mohitt Maalik (Birju Lohar) delivers a decent performance. Satendra Soni (Chandu Puncture) is entertaining and the surprise of the film. Mirzapur The Movie music and other technical aspects: The songs dont register at all. 'Ghoom Ghoom' is the best of the lot, more due to the picturization and placement. 'Vaaroon Forever', 'Do Numbari', 'Sanson Ki Mala' and 'Vindhyvasini Ki Jao Ho' are average. John Stewart Eduri's background score is much better and enhances the impact of several scenes. Sanjay Kapoor's cinematography is top-notch and lends the film a grandeur that surpasses the web series, giving it the much-needed cinematic feel. Amin Khatib's action is gory, and it works well for the film in this zone. Sonam Singh and Abhijit Gaonkar's production design is classy, while Darshan Jalan and Neelanchal Ghosh's costumes are realistic yet stylish. Manan Ashwin Mehta's editing is functional but could have been sharper in some scenes. Mirzapur The Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, MIRZAPUR THE MOVIE is a paisa-vasool big-screen entertainer that successfully transports the much-loved world of MIRZAPUR from OTT to cinemas. The powerhouse performances, whistle-worthy dialogues, gripping confrontations, massy moments and a rousing finale compensate for the stretched portions and predictable nature of the narrative. The film has opened strongly at the box office and is on course to enter the Rs. 100 crore club over the opening weekend. With Rs. 200 crore well within reach, its strong audience response and franchise value could translate into a major theatrical success.
