Balayya film Legend re-release for political mileage?

Seasoned star Nandamuri Balakrishna's much-hyped film Legend is set to be re-released after 10 years, hoping to score political brownie points in Andhra Pradesh. No doubt, it is the season of re-releases in Tollywood and movies of all big stars are minting money, says a distributor and adds, But releasing Legend would serve two purposes. One it would mint good money, while the movie which has political overtones would help TDP to garner more votes in upcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh. It is the story of an fearless and upright man (Balakrishna) who takes up cudgels against Rayalaseema based villain (Jagapathi Babu) who dares to take over political space in Vizag and state. He further adds, Balakrishna powerful punchlines demeaning the arrogance of his rival Jagapathi Babu and his family will draw whistles in theatres. Now, with TDP and YSRCP set for a clash at ballot boxes, Balakrishna potshots at politicians and MLAs in the climax portions will enthrall Nandamuri fans and it could work in favour of TDP, he adds. Besides, Balakrishna is planning to take a break from shootings and set to hit the campaign trail to seek votes for TDP and its alliance partners Jana Sena and BJP in Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Parliament elections. 'He is going to utter a few more dashing punchlines during the campaign to match up his larger than life image on the big screen, he concludes.

Anupama Parameswaran turns ultra glamorous for Tillu Square

After watching Tillu Square, it looks like the image makeover of Anupama Parameswaran has been completed. The actress who wowed audience with her homely and girl-next-door roles in films like Sathamanam Bhavati, Hello Guru Prema Kosame and Karthikeya 2, has locked lips with teen sensation Siddhu Jonalagadda in Tillu Square to change the trajectory of her career. She will be flooded with offers in Telugu since glamorous roles are sought after for commercial movies, says a producer who adds, Her game plan is to shrug off her simple girl image and turn into a pretty damsel by doing some bolder stuff, he adds. No doubt, Anupama is a very talented actress and good looking too. She proved her mettle in varied roles. She wants to bag more offers in Telugu and is trying to do some bold stuff to give young heroines a run for their money. She stepped into the shoes of glamour girl Neha Shetty in the sequel Tillu Square which is loaded with steamy scenes. She took a bold decision and proved that she could do justice to such roles going by the film and the audience are going to see a new version of Anupama on screen in the much-hyped entertainer, he points out.

Caught on cam: Russia strikes the 5th US-made Abrams tank of Ukraine with drone in Donbass

The Russian military recently targeted and destroyed another U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tank operated by Ukrainian forces. This destruction occurred when a kamikaze drone rammed into the American-made tank near the village of Berdych, as captured in footage shared on Telegram by Sergey Lezhnev, an adviser to Russias Orel Region Governor. Moscow's Defense Ministry has confirmed this incident. The U.S. introduced M1 Abrams tanks in late February to bolster Ukraine's defense efforts, complementing military aid from European allies. Despite this support, Russia has belittled the Abrams tank, referring to it as an empty tin can with a cannon, and accusing the U.S. of withholding advanced technologies. These actions underscore the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the strategic rivalry between major powers.

Orry's refusal to shake hands with content creator Ruchika Lohiya and calling her 'shameless' for her post ignites internet's wrath

Orhan Awatramani, known as Orry, reportedly issued a 'warning' to content creator Ruchika Lohiya, sparking outrage among netizens. Many social media users have been trolling him for his response to Ruchika's video. Recently, Ruchika Lohiya alleged that Orry refused to shake hands with her at an event. She posted a video from the event on her Instagram, which quickly went viral. Orry responded to her video and reportedly threatened legal action against the content creator. He also took to the comments section of her post and called her 'sly and shameless.' Orry's comments read, 'Babe, I do not know you. You ain't my homie. I do not know what germs and stuff your hand carries. I am always happy to meet fans and friends when the time permits; shoving your way to me at a public event, passing my security, and disrespecting my manager, you yet got close to me and politely greet you. Don't expect strangers to touch you. You got a friendly fist bump, but even that's not enough? And if you were truly embarrassed, what is the need for this clout-chasing video? Sly and shameless.' Orry's response initiated a discussion, with some supporting his perspective on personal boundaries, while many criticized him for overreacting. A few of those comments read, 'I don't know why people are giving so much importance to Orry,' 'Chapris like Orry or whatever need not be taken seriously,' and 'You are way above Orry.' Internet sensation Orry has also appeared on Salman Khan's reality show 'Bigg Boss 17.'

Rahul Gandhi promises exemplary action against those sabotaging democracy

Congress Party scion Rahul Gandhi on Friday promised exemplary punishment for those sabotaging democracy in India. In a video tweeted by Gandhi, he can be heard giving assurance to an audience that the next non-BJP government -- whenever it comes -- will take such action against people manipulating government systems and agencies that it will remain a warning to everyone forever. If these institutions had carried out their duty, if the CBI carried out what was right, if ED did what was appropriate, then this would never have happened, Gandhi can be heard telling an audience, apparently in response to a question on how institutions in India are being used to thwart the functioning of Indian democracy. The question reflects an widespread concern among those affiliated or supportive of non-BJP parties that the BJP is misusing its power to ensure that the opposition parties can never mount a challenge to the party in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. They feel the central government has made extensive use of the Enforcement Directorate -- an agency that was originally meant for preventing financial crimes such as money laundering -- to prosecute opposition leaders and disrupt their funding. After US remarks on Kejriwal arrest, now UN spokesperson hopes 'everyone's rights' are 'protected' in India They have also said that investigative agencies such as ED, CBI and the Income Tax Department are being used to dig out dirt about opposition politicians, which is then allegedly being used to engineer splits and divisions in those parties. Over the last five years, the ruling BJP has attracted many key opposition MPs and MLAs to leave their parties and cooperate with it. At the same time though, the opposition leaders who have joined the saffron outfit have denied that they have been blackmailed into joining the saffron front. The people who are doing all this should keep in mind.. sooner or later, the BJP government will change.. and then, there will be action, Gandhi said. And the action taken will be such, that I am giving you my guarantee that something like this will never take place again, he added. The comments are a rare sign of aggression from the politician, who has always tried to maintain an air of cool unflappability. They seem to be an attempt to reflect, and potentially tap into, the angst felt by certain sections in the country that there is an 'undeclared emergency' in the country, and that democracy in India is under grave danger. ! , #BJPTaxTerrorism pic.twitter.com/SSkiolorvH Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) March 29, 2024 India is scheduled to go to the polls in April and May in a general election that is currently seen to be in favor of the BJP.

Movie Review | Blessy's 'Goat Life': A Cinematic Odyssey of Human Endurance and Suffering

Based on Benyamins Aadujeevitham ,Blessy presents a three-hour odyssey on human suffering and endurance. It was William Faulkner who said ___ man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. Blessy obviously bites a khubus , a desert bread difficult to chew and swallow for the normal. The endurance test of the protagonist is so shocking, consistent, and mind boggling that strategically as an art form Blessy could have well have chopped a lot of what arguably constituted the text of the original work. Make no mistake this is a huge work. A magnum opus on human suffering. The choice of translating the novel into a film, more so in languages outside Malayalam was probably in itself a conscious walk into a desert Masara . The saga of the survival which is largely linear requires a short script or a sharp filmmaker. For all the efforts, Blessy suffers on the twin counts. There are multiple challenges when a film maker from Kerala rushes to making a film for the larger South Indian audience. When suffering becomes a monotony, as it does hear, the purpose of projecting the sufferer as the hero misses the target ring. This emphatically is not to rob Blessy for the humongous effort. To the uninitiated, the film was conceptualized as early in 2009 and has moved in bits and pieces. It is also a covid survivor. It is said that desert schedules over Wadi Rum, Jordan, Algerian desert, in the Sahara, were hugely challenging. Kudos to the Blessy-Prithvi combo that they are emotionally and intellectually honest to the suffering of the protagonist. The film is about huge canvas of deserts, sand, hail storms, camels, and goats as much as it is about the human spirit. It certainly visits certain presumptive takes of life when they become challenges. Survival is a glass filled kaleidoscopic arrangement of glass pieces spread on a path one has to compulsorily tread. The canvas reflects huge, brushed signs of human suffering sometimes dipped in tears, sometimes too dry even for tears. You do not realize when the orange turn brown and then dark grey. This crimson effort warrants a salute for its rich cinema and often for the cinematic cause too. It all starts when Najeeb (Prithviraj Sukumaran) and Hakeem (K. R Gokul) set out in search of the Middle East pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In all fairness, the twosome do not have glitter stars in their eyes. Simple dreams. While Najeeb hopes to give his wife expectant mom Sainu (Amala Paul) a small home in Kerala for his wife and mom Ummah (Shobha Mohan). Hakeem has no great dreams either. Their multifold challenges begin when they have language barriers at the port of landing and are almost lost till Khafeel (Talib Al Balushi) dumps them in an animal trolly and quickly separates them, tares their immigration documentation. The unending trauma of Najeeb who is unwittingly thrown into a masara , a goat farm, with not even food and water starts and he is clueless of the endless desert. The suffering begins in the context when so much of normal life is taken as a given. We all assuredly, each one watching Goat Life in a multiplex is privileged, definitely and distinctly. Moved from the scenario of challenge, we take human companionship, communication, water, food, dignity - nay very existence for granted. When these presumptive givens are challenged, the definition of life changes to one of survival. Lost in the Desert is a man whose colours of life are moments of recall of the breezy river waters back home in Kerala and his romance with his wife. Sometimes montage moments soothe, sometimes they hurt, they pierce the human fabric and leave scars. Najeeb only has Hindiwala (Robbin Das) who he cannot understand and camels and sheep for company. He decides on the great escape. He is assisted by Ibrahim Khadri (Jimmy John Louis) after he accidently meets up with his lost friend Hakeem and finally makes it to India. Goat Life is no Dunki. There are no sweet moments. There isnt any humour. If there is compassion it comes from animals. This is more Blessys Schindlers List. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The likes of Naseer would do anything to play the protagonist. It is a singular privilege that it is handed over Prithvi. One cannot but conjure images of a Balraj Sahani, a Dilip Kumar, a Irfan Khan doing Najeeb. The challenge and brilliance of Prithvi is in living up to a role where his eyes and his face have to make up for lack of dialogues. With the heavy beard and just a part of chin and eyes visible the challenge is more acute. This too, he overcomes. This is arguably a National Award winning performance. In case the powers that be overlook him for recognition as the best actor it is their credibility that is in question not his performance. In fact, this is Oscar material. The film lasting almost three hours documents the human spirt in the face of huge adversity. How one swims up the abyss hopelessness and misery and torture is thematic song of Goat Life . Prithvi is GOAT. The film is not for the weak hearted.

Goal is to vaccinate all girls in India against cervical cancer at minimal cost: PM Modi to Bill Gates

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said his government wants to allocate funds to scientists for local research in cervical cancer for developing vaccines at a minimal cost to ensure all girls are vaccinated against the serious disease. During an interaction with philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on a host of issues, Modi said should the NDA be voted back to power, his priority will be to invest significantly in this research to safeguard the lives of India's daughters. In the coming days, I want to allocate funds to our scientists for cervical cancer research targeting young girls. I want to give them budget and encourage them to conduct local research to make vaccines. My goal is to vaccinate all girls in our country at a minimal cost to ensure that they are protected from cancer, Modi said. I am working in this direction these days. When my new government will be formed, my priority will be to invest significantly in this research to safeguard the lives of India's daughters, he said. On how India's Covid vaccination campaign became successful with people showing little resistance to the jabs, where in many countries, the fear of vaccination and even rumours about them became a problem, Modi elaborated on how he led by example and followed all protocols to gain people's trust and convinced them. I emphasised that the fight against the virus involves everyone and it was not virus versus government. I viewed it as a fight of life versus virus from the beginning, he said. Secondly, he narrated, how he started to communicate openly with the nation from day one and personally adhered to all the safety protocols to set an example. I followed all Covid-19 protocols publicly to gain people's trust. I made clarion calls to clap, clang utensils, light lamps despite some ridicule. It was crucial for me to unite everyone in this fight. Once the intent was set on protecting themselves and others around, it turned into a mass movement, he said. This ensured that the citizens followed his requests without questioning him. For example, he said when he advised them to wear masks, people listened and reminded each other. It transformed into a people's movement. Because in a democracy, force isn't the answer. In a democracy, people need to be convinced, educated and taken along. In democracy education and collaboration drive progress, Modi stated. This strategy played a significant role in the success of our vaccination campaign where the people did not resist, Modi said, highlighting that financial challenge was significant due to vaccine research costs. I also built people's faith by being among the first to get vaccinated along with my 95-year-old mother getting the vaccine publicly. I led by example and gained people's trust that this could save their lives, he said. He narrated an anecdote about the epidemic that broke out around 1930 when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the mayor of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, necessitating vaccination. The people had refused to get jabbed citing religious reasons. Sardar Patel was firm and made vaccination mandatory to save lives, he said, adding that resistance to vaccines has been a challenge worldwide for centuries and opening up discussions might help us overcome this. Recognizing early signs of cervical cancer: The silent threat and the power of prevention Identifying health as among the three sectors where he is most excited about the use of technology, Modi said his government has built two lakh Ayushman Arogya Mandir health centres in the villages which are directly connected with the best hospitals through modern technology. Initially, the patients wondered how they can be accurately diagnosed without a doctor physically examining them. But later they understood that with the right technological instruments, even a doctor sitting hundreds of kilometers away can indeed diagnose them correctly and give the correct advice. So people's confidence is increasing, he said. Just the way it happens in big hospitals, things are happening in Ayushman Arogya Mandir. So, this is the power of digital platforms, Modi stated. He also mentioned how during the Covid, when the world struggled with issuing vaccine certificates, in India the people could easily use the Co-Win app to find out how far they needed to travel for getting the vaccine, select a suitable time slot and receive their certificate within seconds. His government made Co-Win open source allowing access to all. In my experience, digital technology has significantly benefited our country, he said. Long Covid indistinguishable from other post-viral syndromes

Fakir Dingaleshwar Swami, the head of a Lingayat mutt in Shirahatti, held a meeting with a group of community seers at Murugha mutt premises in Dharwad on Wednesday, and sought Joshis replacement on grounds that he suppressed the community members.

When govt changes, action will be taken against those who have 'disrobed democracy': Rahul's 'guarantee'

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday hit out at the BJP, accusing it of indulging in ax terrorism. When the government changes, action will definitely be taken against those who have 'disrobed democracy'. And such exemplary action will be taken that no one will dare to do all this again. This is my guarantee, Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X. He also tagged a previous video of his and used the hashtag #BJPTaxTerrorism with his post. Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP-led Centre of misusing institutions like the income-tax department, ED and CBI to subvert democracy and belittle the Constitution, and asked why is the I-T department being used as a weapon to harass the principal opposition party. He asserted that such actions would not deter the Congress from contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and vowed that his party will free the country's institutions from the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) dictatorship. Kharge said a penalty of Rs 4,600 crore has been overlooked for the BJP's Rs 42-crore unaccounted deposits, while a penalty of Rs 135 crore is being demanded for the Congress's Rs 14-lakh cash deposits by MLAs and MPs. Who is pressurising the Income Tax department to act in this unjustified manner only against the opposition? Why is the IT department being allowed to be used as a weapon to harass the principal opposition party -- Congress! They are misusing institutions like IT, ED, CBI to subvert democracy and belittle the Constitution, he alleged in a post on X. Congress receives fresh I-T notices of over Rs 1,800 crore, slams BJP for 'financially strangulating oppn parties during polls time' ! , #BJPTaxTerrorism pic.twitter.com/SSkiolorvH Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) March 29, 2024 Systematic effort by PM Modi to cripple Congress financially: Sonia Gandhi on party's frozen accounts Citing examples, Kharge said the I-T department has now given a notice to the Congress for a total amount of Rs 1,823 crore and already withdrawn Rs 135 crore from the party's accounts, which were funds collected by the party through crowdsourcing. But IT did not give any notice to BJP. Despite the fact that public information of the Election Commission clearly shows that 1,297 people have deposited Rs 42 crore to BJP in 2017-18 without mentioning their names and addresses, Kharge claimed. The Congress chief said his party was fined Rs 135 crore for Rs 14 lakh deposits and its account was frozen. But in the last 7 years, this penalty to BJP amounts to a whopping Rs 4,600 crore, he claimed. Our direct question is why is BJP getting this penalty exemption? Kharge asked. He also asked, Do these IT notices dating many years ago being served right before Lok Sabha elections prove BJP's conspiracy to capture the level playing field? Citing details, he said a penalty of Rs 54 crore has been imposed by the I-T authorities for the year 1993-94, Rs 182 crore for 2016-17, Rs 179 crore for 2017-18, Rs 918 crore for 2018-19 and Rs 480 crore for 2019-20. Congresspersons are never afraid! We will fight the elections with our full might. We will free the country's institutions from BJP dictatorship, Kharge said. 4,600 Cr penalty overlooked for BJP's 42 Cr unaccounted deposit, while 135 Cr penalty is demanded for Congress' for 14 lakh cash deposits by MLAs & MPs! Who is pressurising the Income Tax Department to act in this unjustified manner only against the Opposition? Why is Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) March 29, 2024 After Kejriwal's arrest, US speaks on Congress' frozen bank accounts Accusing the government of indulging in ax terrorism, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said for alleged violations committed in the last six years, the opposition party was served a notice for Rs 1,823 crore. For those very same violations, in the very same time period, the BJP should have been slapped with notices for Rs 4,600 crore. All that Ajay Maken did was to use the R programming language to drill down the data submitted by the BJP itself, which is available publicly on the ECI's website. We have attached the code to this tweet. It follows that either the Khatabandi on the INC accounts is unjustified and a blatant misuse of government agencies, or that the IT department is willfully neglecting the BJP's fraudulent practices, Ramesh said in a post on X. The Congress on Friday said it has received fresh notices from the income-tax department, asking it to pay Rs 1,823.08 crore, and alleged that the BJP is in serious violation of income-tax laws for which authorities should raise a demand for more than Rs 4,600 crore from the saffron party.
