I got a bit drunk with the twins: Toy Story 2s Lee Unkrich on his obsession with The Shining
In an extract from his forthcoming book, Unkrich explains how, aged 13, he first saw the film which would inspire a lifelong passion Are you OK? Is it too scary? We can leave if you need to It was May 1980. I was nearly 13 years old, sitting in an Ohio movie theatre with my mother watching Stanley Kubricks The Shining. She was right to be concerned; exactly two years earlier she had taken me to see Larry Cohens horror film It Lives Again his sequel to Its Alive and the experience had caused more than a year of traumatic, recurring nightmares. As a result, I had since avoided any scary movies (or even their trailers). So it was risky for her to take me to see another horror film that early summer evening. Little did she know that she was changing the course of my life. The Shining penetrated my psyche in a way I had never experienced, and it was intoxicating. Like Danny Torrance, I was an only child whose parents were entangled in a dysfunctional marriage. I also spent many hours home alone, my house filled with rich fodder for my imagination: a shadowy crawlspace, a statue of a little girl that I was certain was alive, and the insecurity and numb terror that comes from watching your parents marriage unravel.

With the ongoing debate of how OTT has taken over movies, popular superstar Shah Rukh Khan decided to express his opinion on this subject. The actor recently was honored at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah and during the same; he spoke to the international news website Deadline about the comparison of OTT and films in theatres. He explained how he has seen several inventions take over films like VCR and television in his career spanning three decades but how they often only last for a temporary period of time as eventually cinema finds a way to pull crowds with the help of some experimentation. It is a known fact that Shah Rukh Khan has been in the entertainment industry for over thirty years. Starting his career as a television star, today, he is one of the biggest stars globally. Expressing his opinion in the OTT vs Theatre debate, he said, Cinema viewing is not going to shut down anytime soon because I have been through these phases, television coming in, oh nobodys watching movies, VCR coming in, Nobodys watching movies. Its been 32 years, I have seen it through. Yes, theres always a dent, there is a bit of a problem, but cinema changes itself and then comes back and invites people in hordes. He concluded by stating that eventually films find their true place and all platforms including OTT will continue to co-exist. He added, When you go to watch movies in a theatre, its an outing. Films and box office have got affected. Because of Covid-19, watching habits have changed. But I think it will all settle down and films will find their space at the box office. Some films will find space on streaming platforms, and some will stick to television. On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to return to the big screen after four years with the spy action drama Pathaan that also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in major roles. Directed by Siddharth Anand, and produced by Yash Raj Films, the film is a part of Aditya Chopras ambitious spy universe that also includes the famous Tiger series.

IFFK highlights: Silent films with live piano, 32 female directors, LGBTQIA+ narratives
IFFK The International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) will be held between December 9 and 16, across various theatres in Keralas Thiruvananthapuram. Cris Delegates have fun at the previous edition of IFFK On December 7, a Wednesday, there are just a few odd people hovering around the make-shift film festival offices at the Tagore Theatre. A vast campus placed at an enviable spot in Thiruvananthapuram, the premise will turn into a whole different place in the next two days. December 9 is the first day of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), which will be held across different venues in the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram. Owing to COVID-19 the last two editions suffered delayed schedules, making this the second fest to happen in a year. But going back to its routine, the IFFK is ready to welcome 12,000 and more delegates into its fold this December. It was not easy, says the new artistic director of the festival, Deepika Suseelan. We had only two and a half months in all to do the whole programme. By that, she means everything from inviting entries to selecting movies to fixing a jury and accommodating the guests. The last IFFK, held in March this year, was handled by renowned film editor Bina Paul Venugopal, a veteran in overseeing the IFFK, having been the artistic director for most of its 27 editions. Deepika, with her experience of handling three back-back-back IFFIs (International Film Festival of India), which happens in Goa every November, and an edition of the IFFK in 2014, says it is a misconception that all the selection is done from the movies sent in applications. Only the Indian and Malayalam cinema sections come through applications. But the majority of the world cinema and competition films are chosen after a lot of research, scouting through previous festivals, using contacts, and convincing those who are little reachable to come, she says. Deepika Suseelan She is glad that many big names could make it despite the last-minute planning. Bela Tarr, a legendary filmmaker from Hungary, is one of the people who agreed to come despite health issues. He will be receiving thelifetime achievement award this year, and six of his films have been included in a package charmingly titled, The Melancholy Worlds of Bela Tarr. This is a filmmaker who began with ordinary films for ordinary people and then fell into stories of pessimism. Silent films with piano and Serbian masterpieces Another promising package is the series of silent films in two different sections. One of these is coming with live piano, by Jonny Best, resident pianist at the BFI Southbank, a cinema house in the UK. It will begin with the screening of the German horror film, Nosferatu, a straight-off-the-coffin vampire film from a hundred years ago, made by the legendary FM Murnau. Murnau, who died in 1931, has a separate package, apart from Jonny's five. Poster of Nosferato/ IFFK It is also new to IFFK that Serbia becomes the country of focus this time. At a fest that mostly focuses on films from Latin America, Asia, and African countries each year, the newest and best works from a different nation become a highlight every year. Serbia as a country of focus has not been done before. Neither were Serbian films chosen for any recent big film festivals. And the IFFK is a festival that always initiates things. Films like the Working Class Heroes from Serbia blow you away. We have also included four of Emir Kusturicas movies, Deepika says. Emir, a maestro from Serbia, is known for telling stories of people from the margins. 32 films by women filmmakers There are 32 films by female directors in a fest that features more than 185 movies from 17 countries. That was not a planned move, Deepika says. The only consideration came in reaching out to as many women filmmakers as possible to bring their works to the decision table, she adds. After that, there is no special consideration and no woman filmmaker demands it. They make great films. As a rule, I dont look at the filmmaker's name while watching films and taking a call, so there is no bias. I was amazed when 32 names came to the final list. You should watch films like Night Siren, written by a woman and directed by another. It is just wonderful. On the other hand, I was surprised to see that a film like A room of my own was done by a male filmmaker, she says. Unruly, by Danish filmmaker Malou Reymann, is among the 32 films by women directors Of the movies she mentions, Night Siren is a horror drama about a Slovakian woman who goes back to her hometown to solve the mysteries of her childhood, while A Room of my own is a Georgian film about a woman who rents a room from another and discovers what it is like to be free. LGBTQIA+ centric films As always, 14 films are in the competition category, two of these in Malayalam, and another two from other Indian languages. Lijo Jose Pellisserys first Mammootty film, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, will have its premiere while Mahesh Narayanans Ariyippu, which has already been to festivals, will feature in the competition category. A Manipuri film called Our Home and a Hindi film called A place of our own are the other Indian films in competition. The latter is about the struggle of two transgender persons in finding a home. The fest includes quite a few films on the LGBTQIA+ community. Deepika mentions Paloma, a Brazillian film about a transexual woman who decides to get married in a church, and Lord of the Ants, a biopic on Italian poet and playwright Aldo Braibanti, who was jailed in 1968 under an anti-gay law. Lord of the Ants Two categories celebrating golden jubilees are one for Adoor Gopalakrishnans Swayamvaram, and another is a retrospective for American scriptwriter Paul Schrader. Ninety-three-year-old Alejandro Jodorowsky, making Chilean-French avant-garde films, also gets a package. Read: Legacy of Adoors debut film Swayamvaram lives on 50 years since its release Special screenings including restored classics last editions Kummatty still lingers in the mind auteur odes, and the midnight screening of a horror film (an Indonesian one, aptly titled Satans Slaves), are all to look forward to. The only thing left to decide is the guest for the opening day, December 9. Sadly, Mahnaz Mohammadi, the Iranian filmmaker who was declared the winner of IFFKs Spirit of Cinema award, cannot make it. The opening film is however fixed a French feature titled Tori and Lokita, from the Dardenne brothers. Deepika says it is unlike their usually slow-paced films on a big canvas. This is a shorter canvas and a more paced one. Quite a few cute and fun-to-watch films are there, she promises. The IFFK ends on December 16.

Agent Tina, Yashoda, Jaya Jaya Hey: How women in action roles have evolved on screen
Cinema Actors like Vasanthi, Samantha, Regina, and Darshana have recently featured in action sequences, designing a new imagination of women who fight on screen. Saradha U Facebook, Instagram/ Darshana Rajendran, Raaj Kamal International Films, Sridevi Movies A woman actor in a supporting role, who is not a known face in Tamil cinema, stealing the show in a tautly strung and gripping stunt sequence, is hardly what we expect to see in a multi-starrer movie featuring bigwigs like Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in the lead. Nested in the second half of the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial Vikram (2022), there is an unpredictable action sequence where the makers disclose that the woman who played Valiamma, the domestic worker in the initial part of the movie is actually a secret agent who saves the members of the family, much like Kamals titular Vikram. It is revealed that the woman who went from being the understanding akka (elder sister) in the household to a black-ops officer fighting a group of men and hacking some of them to death with a fork, is Agent Tina. Not only did the scene open to astounding applause in theatres, but the actor also managed to upstage actor Kamal Haasan in the scene. The role was played by Vasanthi, who assisted dance master Dinesh before her debut in Vikram. In the media interactions that were held post the release of the film, director Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that the idea of introducing a female secret agent halfway through the film was a part of the script since its inception. Interestingly, a few Telugu and Malayalam films from recent times have become part of this trend and have also opted to introduce fight sequences featuring women actors as a twist. This is new to South Indian commercial entertainers and specifically to Kollywood a welcome departure considering that physically demanding action roles have been conventionally assigned to men. It is also worth noting that even in our collective imagination, the act of a woman engaging in a physical tussle is not normalised, and is perceived as a rarity. Audiences are caught by surprise while seeing a woman fight, on-screen or otherwise, only because they are unfortunately thin on the ground. However, one cannot help but wonder whether, in the case of Lokesh Kangarajs Vikram, it was also the lack of well-written roles for other women actors appearing on screen (Gayathrie and Fahadhs infantile baby-baby romance, an unfunny montage featuring Vijay Sethupathi and his three wives, and Swathishta Krishnan as the seemingly unwitting mother) that left viewers astonished during the Agent Tina reveal. As opposed to usual fight sequences in Indian cinema which are known for the grandeur and humongous scale in which they are shot, a number of films in recent times, especially the ones featuring women in action roles, have taken a more grounded and realistic approach. Flurries of slo-mo punches and swashbuckling stunts have been replaced with physically grueling sequences grounded in gritty realism. Read: Vikram review: Kamal, Fahadh and Vijay Sethupathi film is action all the way Not just for kicks: When women fight on screen Women appearing in more action-based roles has contributed to the evolving nature of action choreography. There is more emphasis on the stunt direction falling in line with the plotlines and characters on screen, rather than amplifying the hero or the lead male actor through the stunts. In Darshana Rajendran and Basil Josephs recent Malayalam movie Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey which was released in October this year, the fight put up by Jaya (Darshana Rajendran), a victim of domestic abuse against her husband Rajesh played by Basil Joseph (who is the abuser), is not just metaphorical but also takes shape when she engages in a physical brawl with him. In a hilarious role reversal, Jaya, who is slapped by Rajesh frequently, stands up against him. Speaking about how the fight sequences were crafted in the black-comedy film, Darshana Rajendran said in an earlier interview with TNM, I trained in Taekwondo for two months, only for the film. I had nothing to do with martial arts before. The training wasnt actually that much but cinema aids you in ways that sometimes you are also amazed by. It looked like a lot of stunts because we had proper stunt choreographers, the camera crew, etc. she said. The technical crew included Johnkutty as the editor, Felix Fukuyoshi Ruwwe as the action director, and Bablu Aju as the cinematographer. Watch: The stunts of Jaya Hey were real: Deleted scenes from Darshana-Basil interview Read: Alias Badru to Darshanas Jaya: Domestic abuse victims are finding a voice in cinema In the web series Family Man 2 which premiered on Amazon Prime Video last year, Samantha plays Raji, a highly skilled rebel operative with LTTE. The visual grammar of the stunts greatly vary depending on Rajis emotional arc. In the introductory episodes of the series, Raji is groped by a creep commuting on the bus. It happens at a time when Raji stays under the radar and works in a factory in Tamil Nadu. She suffers in silence so as to not draw any attention to herself. However, when the harassment persists and when the man stalks her, she ferociously fights him. A few whacks and punches later, we see the perpetrator laying on the ground, having sustained severe injuries. Raji is more unfazed and swift in a foot chase scene involving interconnected shots and intricate stunt choreography where she is followed by a team of intelligence officers and cops. The action choreography in Yashoda, Samanthas latest film which was released last month, also took the realistic route. Yannick Ben who was on board as the stunt choreographer for Yashoda says, Usually, the task is to follow the vision of the director and bring it to life. In this film, Samantha plays a pregnant woman. So we had to be careful while showing how she moves or attacks because a pregnant woman will also have to care about the baby. Yannick, who also choreographed the stunts for The Family Man 2, notes that the actors commitment to her fitness regime made the job easier for his team. Samantha had been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis at the time of the shoot. But she is very committed and meticulously exercises. She is also naturally good with fight scenes, he says. Read: Yashoda review: Samantha is great in a thriller suffering from male gaze Nivedha Thomas and Regina Cassandras Telugu film Saakini Daakini which was released earlier this year, tracks the story of two rivals-turned-friends Shalini and Damini from the police academy, taking charge of a police investigation to expose a human trafficking racket. Halfway through the film, we find a hilarious quarrel set in a restaurant, between the two leads and a gang involved in human trafficking. There are beards catching on fire, ponytails being snatched and heads smashing against tables in this berserk yet hilarious scene from the action entertainer. This sequence stands out in comparison to the over-the-top and dramatic stunt work that plays out in the climax but actor Regina Cassandra tells TNM that they added layers to the script in their own ways. It is the remake of an action comedy Korean film Midnight Runners. The film having fight sequences and the film showing two women in such a light made me more eager to do it. It is a commercial film at the end of the day, so it is not too dark or is not on the face when it comes to promoting the idea of women fighting, but that is the underlying theme, she says. Regina also adds that both the actors trained in Jujutsu for a few months to get the basics right. Women are expected to dance and sing, not fight The reason behind films featuring women actors having a more grounded and realistic approach towards stunt work perhaps has to do with the fact that more often than not, filmmakers cast women actors in action roles only when it is absolutely essential for the script. The high-octane actioners listed in the filmography of leading men in cinema are a testament to the fact that the same cannot be said about their female counterparts. In fact, some of the male stars even have specific stunts and moves that are repeatedly used in movies owing to their high recall value. I have done a number of action roles because it suits my physique and seems to go with my personality, but it is not the norm. We expect women actors to be trained in dance or music, and the heroes to be trained in martial arts or its equivalent. So it really comes down to how a filmmaker wants to portray the actor, Regina says. The actor who has also had a fair share of stunts in other films points out that it is an area that requires more focus. The stunt team usually consists of men. Unless they consciously make an effort to think about how a woman would fight or consider the psychology of fighting itself, the choreography would only mirror how men fight. We dont have a female stunt assistant even if the lead actor is training in stunts, A lot of stunts we see in movies result from emulating the stunt performances of men. A few stunt choreographers tell TNM that women stunt choreographers are unheard of, as far as south Indian movies are concerned. Yannicks opinion differs on the subject. Gender does not matter while choreographing a fight scene. Wed have to understand who the character is and the level of expertise they demonstrate in the film, Yannick remarks. In a number of films in the past, the male gaze seems to have manifested itself cinematically, not only through the action choreography but also through the costume choices and cinematography in films featuring women in stunt sequences. Unlike the aforementioned films, women superhero characters such as DCs Wonder Woman have been hypersexualised. This is exemplified by the logic-defying choice of clothes blue star-covered shorts, and a red bustier top donned by the actor playing the titular role in the 1975 Television series Wonder Woman. While any actor appearing in an action role, regardless of their gender, would be expected to look the part, we only see sleek women conforming to conventional beauty norms in action roles. In some cases, Gothic fashion has been the go-to choice. However, Regina also says, I have played a cop in a film where I was required to fight. The costumes were very similar to the ones worn by men because we found that even in real life, women cops avoid wearing clothes that are traditionally feminine, to avoid standing out and in order to survive in a male-dominated industry. So perhaps some of these depictions mirror reality, the actor observes. Nevertheless, with the success of recent films like Everything Everywhere All At Once globally, and movies like Yashoda and Vikram that are closer to home, both Regina and Yannick are hopeful about seeing more women actors in action roles in the future. We had actors like Vijayashanthi who specialised in stunts. Ultimately it boils down to commercial viability. With the success of so many Hollywood films as well as more movies closer to home in recent times, we can be optimistic about seeing more roles along similar lines, Regina observes.

Filmmaker Don Palathara lists what not to miss at Keralas IFFK
IFFK As part of the International Film Festival of Kerala, films from across the world will be screened simultaneously on fourteen screens in Thiruvananthapuram from December 9 to 16. Don Palathara A still from the Lav Diaz film 'When The Waves are Gone' The International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) is a mammoth event, not only in terms of the number of attendees, but also the number of films screened there each year. Films from across the world will be screened simultaneously on fourteen screens in Keralas capital city of Thiruvananthapuram for six days, excluding the opening and closing days. The 27th edition of the festival, scheduled to be held from December 9 to 16, is special to me for several reasons. Even though I am attending the festival with a professional obligation, many of the films being screened this time are from filmmakers whose works I admire and look up to. By now, I have realised from past experience that it is better to have a plan in place while approaching the festival, in order not to miss out on some gems. So here goes my schedule: Day 1: On the 9th of December, I wish to watch the festivals opening film Tori and Lokita by Dardenne brothers. This film won the Cannes 75th Anniversary Award, its prolific director duo Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne known for their unique style and exploration of socio-political themes. Day 2: The most important attraction of this edition of the IFFK is the several retrospectives its catering. As part of the retrospective on Paul Schrader, The Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorsese will be screened in Kairali. But at the same time, there will be Bela Tarrs Family Nest playing in the New Theatre for the retrospective on the Hungarian master of slow cinema. Three great silent films by German pioneer F W Murnau are also available on the same day. Locarno award nominee Ariyippu by Mahesh Narayanan will have its Indian Premiere in the Tagore Theatre at 2.30 pm. Filipino master Lav Diazs latest film When The Waves are Gone is another film that cannot be missed before going to bed on Friday night. Day 3:Along with the films of Murnau and Tarr, Iranian auteur Jafar Panahis No Bears is something most cinephiles would be looking out for. Emir Kusturicas 1998 film Black Cat, White Cat will be screened as part of the retrospective on the Serbian filmmaker, who is immensely loved by Malayali cinephiles. The most confusing time during this entire festival would be around 6 pm on Day 3, as there are so many films to choose from. Mia Hansen-Loves One Fine Morning, Ulrich Seidls Rimini, Hong Sang-soos The Novelists Film, R.M.N. by Cristian Mungiu, and Carl Theodor Dreyers The Parsons Widow are all screening at the same time. Mia Hansen-Love has been showcased at the IFFK before, her most recent one being Bergman Island. Ulrich Seidl, the maker of the Paradise trilogy, has consistently been good at juxtaposing religion and dark humour. Hong Sang-soo, popular for his simple films exploring complex ideas, is often compared to Ozu. Cristian Mungiu has made some provocative films in the past, so it would be interesting to see what he has to offer too. But, as this is a rare opportunity to experience a Dreyer film on the big screen, I might eventually choose The Parsons Widow. Scorseses Taxi Driver, German expressionist masterpiece Nosferatu, Claire Deniss new film Both Sides of the Blade, and Darren Aronofskys The Whale, which is already popular for Brendan Frasers astounding performance, are also screening on the same day. With all these great choices, I suppose this would be the most exhausting day for film lovers. Day 4:Another gem from the silent era, Foolish Wives by Erich von Stroheim accompanied by live music, Schraders Master Gardener and Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters, the prolific Hong Sang-soos Walk Up, and jury member Alvaro Brechners A Twelve-Year Night are the films I look forward to on the 12th of December. A midnight screening of horror film Satans Slaves happens at Nishagandhi. An interesting clash between Adoor Gopalakrishnans Swayamvaram and restored version of G Aravindans Thampu will also be happening in the evening. Read: Legacy of Adoors debut film Swayamvaram lives on 50 years since its release Day 5: The 1964 Band of Outsiders, directed by Jean Luc Godard who was awarded a lifetime achievement award in the 2020 IFFK, can be viewed at Sree Padmanabha. Day 5s Murnau film is Tabu: A Story of the South Seas. Tarrs Werckmeister Harmonies, The Phantom Carriage by Victor Sjostrom, second screenings of several interesting films including Taxi Driver, The Whale, and movies by Mia Hansen-Love and Panahi are all the attractions of December 13. Day 6: Several films are having their final screenings on this day, including Liv Diazs When the Waves are Gone, Krzysztof Zanussis The Perfect Number, and Park Chan-Wooks Decision to Leave. Lijo Jose Pellisserys Mammootty starrer Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam and Mahesh Narayanans Ariyippu are also doing their final screenings according to the schedule. One will be forced to choose between surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowskys The Holy Mountain and Emir Kusturicas Promise Me This for the night show. Day 7:Russian master Aleksander Sokurovs new film Fairytale will have its second show at the festival in Kalabhavan at 9.30 am. At the same time, First Reformed by Paul Schrader and Palme dOr winner Triangle of Sadness by Ruben Ostlund are also playing. I would rather be at the Tagore theatre for the lecture by Bela Tarr at 11.30 am than for any film. At the same time, The Man From London by Tarr will be played in Nila. It will be ones last chance to watch Jodorowskys The Dance of Reality, Kusturicas Life is a Miracle and Underground, Padmarajans Oridathoru Phayalvan, Broker by Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Rimini by Seidl on Day 7. Day 8: As the closing day, 16th of December is not providing a lot of options to cinephiles, except for the final shows of Hong Sang-soos The Novelists Film, Kusturicas Promise Me This, and Panahis No Bears. There can be a lot of great films I have missed out, either due to my lack of knowledge or personal biases. I dont particularly enjoy the films of Kusturica or Jodorowsky personally, but I think it is still important to mention them in this list. The criteria for preparing this watchlist was not to find the films that would resonate with my personal taste, but to approach the festival as a film student. Don Palathara is a critically acclaimed film director and screenwriter from Kerala. The views expressed are the authors own.

Jennifer Lawrence roasted for claiming she was 1st woman action lead in Hunger Games
LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Lawrence, a Hollywood actress, has come under fire for saying there has never been a female action movie lead before her. I remember when I was doing 'Hunger Games,' nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work - because we were told girls and boys can both identity with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead, actress Viola Davis said in an interview for Variety's Actors on Actors about female action heroes. She said: And every time one of those movies comes out, it just makes me so pleased because it disproves all of those myths and shows that they were all made up to exclude specific groups from the movies. to maintain certain individuals in their current roles. As The Black List publisher Franklin Leonard responded to the interview on Twitter by saying: It is incorrect that no one has ever put a woman in an action movie until Jennifer Lawrence in 'Hunger Games,' many people immediately disagreed with Lawrence. Lawrence compared Hunger Games to Davis' most recent film, The Woman King, and said, And it just makes me so pleased every single time I see a movie come out that just breaks through every one of those beliefs and exposes that it is simply a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To maintain particular individuals in their current roles.

Actor Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker Karan Johar's fallout was widely reported when the former was ousted from Dostana 2 for professional reasons. But, the actor says that he had self-belief while many doubted his potential and even that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 may not work. When asked whether the fallout affected him, the actor interrupted and said, Yes, but I had a lot of self-belief. I said to myself that I would let my work do the talking, he told E-Times in an interview. He dded, I knew that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would open the theatres wide. I decided to promote Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 maximum. There were constraints on the budget due to COVID days then, but I went ahead. It was being widely said that I wont be able to do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 well enough. Here, I was being directly doubted. In my heart of hearts, however, I knew that this movie will work and bring the public back to the theatres and I had told this to Kumar Mangat. I knew that I would be able to do it in my way and take this film to a high level, he shared. Last year, rumours were rife about Kartiks unprofessional behaviour. At the time, Dharma Productions released an official statement saying they won't be working with Kartik Aaryan and that they would announce the new cast. Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence - we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin DCunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon, it read. In the same interview, when asked if he has a list of filmmakers he wants to work with, Kartik added, Haan, har koi chahta hai ki aap sirf unke liye maximum kam kare. But I want to be everyones favourite. See, I cannot do small talk. I cannot please people by doing chit-chats. I dont have anybody in my list whom I dont want to work with. Kisiko aisa lagna bhi nahi chahiye kyunki aisa hai hi nahi. Abhi saamne kisiko kaisa bhi feel ho ya na ho. Luv Ranjan sir has done 4 movies with me, Sajid Nadiadwala sir has done 2, makers are repeating me. I am in happy space.

Googles Year in Search 2022 was dominated by Wordle, Ukraine and a cricket World Cup
Wordle topped Google's Year in Search for 2022 , beating even the biggest events in the world over the past few months. Searches for the five-letter word game peaked shortly after it was acquired by The New York Times in February, perhaps when people had to look for its new address or when those who haven't heard of it before wanted to see what the fuss was about. The second most searched term for 2022 is India vs. England, which pertains to the countries' faceoff at the Cricket World Cup. Ukraine takes the third spot in the overall trending searches list, as well as the top of this year's trending News topics. Most people looking into the war in Ukraine searched for liveblogs to get the latest happenings and for information on casualties, refugees, donations and armed conflicts. Queen Elizabeth came in fourth for 2022, with the UK and former British colonies being responsible for most of the searches after the Queen passed away in September. The fifth most popular search term is another Cricket World Cup game, this time between India and Saudi Arabia, followed by even more cricket matches and the iPhone 14 . COVID-19 is no longer at the forefront from people's minds, based on this year's list: Monkeypox and Roe v. Wade were the most searched health-related topics instead. Some of the other entries in the trending news list are pretty sobering, specifically Texas school shooting and Hurricane Ian.

Apple Car Project Scaled Back and Delayed, Won't Feature Full Self-Driving Capabilities
Apple has scaled back its Apple Car project and the company no longer plans to release a fully self-driving vehicle, reports Bloomberg . Apple wanted to create a self-driving car without a steering wheel or pedals, but has decided that such a plan is not feasible at the current time. The vehicle will have guided driving features that work on highways, but it will not be able to operate entirely on its own at all times. The car will have an Apple-designed custom processor to power AI functionality, similar to the Mac, iPhone , and iPad . The chip is equivalent to four of the highest-end Mac chips and is nearly production ready. It will include a custom array of lidar sensors, radar sensors, and cameras, which will be able to provide the car with positioning information, lane data, and orientation compared to people and objects. Apple will use the cloud for some AI processing, and the company is considering a remote command center that could assist drivers and control cars from afar during emergencies. It may also offer its own insurance program to companies. Apple's scaled-down vehicle will feature steering wheels and pedals, like a normal vehicle. It will allow customers to do things like watch movies or multitask while on highways. The car will provide alerts when it is time to switch to manual controls for city streets or in poor weather, with the self-driving component perhaps limited to the North America at launch. The Apple Car project has undergone several shifts in development scope since Apple started it way back in 2014. Apple initially planned for a full vehicle, then in 2016, rumors indicated plans for a car had been shelved and Apple would instead develop some kind of autonomous driving system for other vehicles. By 2020, plans for a full vehicle with autonomous driving capabilities were back on, with Apple testing self-driving technology in SUVs in the San Francisco Bay Area, but it seems the full autonomous driving features are not going to be ready when the first Apple Car launches. The Apple Car team has also gone through several leadership changes, and at the current time, AI and machine learning chief John Giannandrea is heading up the Apple Car project, and Kevin Lynch, known for his work on the Apple Watch, is also overseeing work on the car. While rumors suggested that the car could launch as soon as 2025, it is now expected in 2026 at the earliest, with Apple aiming to sell a consumer model for under $100,000.

Indian Lockdown Boxoffice: The OTT release is HIT or Flop
Indian Lockdown released on OTT platform. Itstars Prateik Babbar, Aahana Kumra and Shweta Basu Prasad among others. It follows the tragic events that took place after the Indian government declared a complete lockdown for 21 days during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.As it did not release on the platform Hit and flop is not considered criteria but on the basis of views we can analyze it.

It needed to reach more than 40 Lakh viewers in its opening weekend in India at Zee 5 to be called an Average and should cross more than 70 lakh Views to be called a Speaking about Indian Lockdown it follows people from different strata of society being affected by the lockdown news.

The best USB-C hubs for the iPad Pro and iPad Air
Since the Liquid Retina redesign in 2018, Apples higher-end iPads have used the universal USB-C connector port rather than Apples own Lightning connector. Youll find a USB-C port on the 10.9-inch iPad (10th generation), 11-inch iPad Pro (1st and 2nd gen) and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd and 4th gen), and iPad Air. The latest M1 iPad Pro uses a USB-C-style Thunderbolt/USB4 port that is even more capable. That one USB-C or Thunderbolt port will suffice if all you use it for is charging or wired earbuds, but Apples tablets can also be used with many other peripherals that transform it into a versatile computer.

The cable is useful if your iPad is in a protective case, and you could use your own longer cable if required. StayGo mini adds just four ports, but enough for you to attach an external display (4K at 30Hz), a USB-A device and headphones as well as powering your tablet or laptop at the same timeespecially handy for tablets that have just the one port. It weighs just 36g and measures 2.8-x-1.25-x-0.3in (72-x-32-x-8mm), making it the smallest USB-C iPad hub we have tested. Twelve South also sells a less-mini but still highly portable StayGo USB-C hub that boasts nine ports, including Gigabit Ethernet and SD and Micro USB card readers alongside the HDMI, USB-A and USB-C passthrough power delivery. Satechi USB-C Mobile Pro Hub SD lightest USB-C hub Pros 6 ports inc HDMI, card readers 4K at 60Hz Direct fit to iPad 60W passthrough charging Cons UHS I SD speed MSRP: $69.99 Best Prices Today: $69.99 at Satechi Colors: Space Gray Ports: USB-C (to iPad), USB-C PD (5Gbps/60W), USB-A (5Gbps), HDMI, SD and microSD card readers, 3.5mm audio Why we love it: Made for the new iPad M1, this is the lightest USB-C hub we tested weighing just 33g (1.16oz). Its dimensions are 3.85-x-1.45-x-0.4in (98-x-37-x-11mm) so Its a little bigger than the Twelve South StayGo mini but a few grams lighter, and includes both SD and microSD card reader slots, which are lacking from the StayGo. The HDMI port can push a 4K monitor at 60Hz. And the hub can charge a device at up to 60W via the USB-C PD passthrough charger port. It ships with a detachable USB-C extension cable if you want to use it with a device other than an iPad or use with an iPad in a case. Satechi also sells a slightly cheaper USB-C Mobile Pro Hub that doesnt include the card readers and isnt compatible with the 2021 iPad Pro M1, which the Mobile Pro Hub SD does work with.

Although this may be overkill when used with a tablet, it makes a big difference when you use it with a laptop. The HDMI port means you can add an external display, and it can handle 4K displays at 60Hz. This compact hub, with built-in USB-C connector, is the lightest we have tested, at just 44g (1.5oz). Its also small, at 3.5-x-1.3-x-0.3in (90-x-32-x-8.5mm). As well as the HDMI and audio port, it features two USB-A ports, one for data (5Gbps) and one for fast charging (7.5W).

Weve seen faster ports on the other hubs reviewed here, but its the media buttons that make the difference here. It can connect in a tight fit to the iPad or via a detachable longer 2in cable if you need the extra length. At 3.85-x-1.14-x-0.47in (98-x-29-x-12mm), its a little longer than other iPad hubs tested here, but its lightweight at just 41g.

While that may be a negative point in terms of neatness, it does mean this has more ports than most other hubs reviewed here. The integrated USB-C cable itself is quite neat, with its end stored in a special slot, creating a handy loop to keep things tidy. At 132mm long and 82g in weight, its larger than most but still highly portable. Its eights ports include Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI (although 4K at 30Hz rather than 60Hz), three 5Gbps USB-A ports, passthrough charging at 100W (overkill for a tablet but great if you also use it with a laptop), and both SD and MicroSD card readers.

Although pretty small (3.66-x-2.53-x-0.75in or 93-x-64.3-x-19mm) for a docking station, its larger than the dedicated iPad hubs tested here, so theres space for both DisplayPort and HDMI ports so you can choose your preferred connection to add an external display to the iPad. As the cable is detachable, you can use your own longer cable if necessary, but youll need one rated to handle 10Gbps. And because of the high bandwidth, the dock can easily handle a 4K display at 60Hz, even with other ports in use. Read the full Caldigit SOHO Dock review . CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub best Thunderbolt 4 hub for multiple USB devices Pros Four Thunderbolt 4 ports Four fast USB-A ports 5K at 60Hz Multiple external displays Cons No card reader Large for an iPad hub MSRP: $249.99 Best Prices Today: $99.99 at Home Depot $159.95 at Apple $163.99 at Newegg US Colors: Space Gray Ports: Upstream Thunderbolt 4 (to iPad; 60W PD), three downstream Thunderbolt (40Gbps, 15W), four USB-A (10Gbps, 7.5W) Why we love it: Apples iPad Pro (2021) models use 40Gbps Thunderbolt rather than 5Gbps USB-C, so to gain that full bandwidth a Thunderbolt hub is the best you can get. This is a hub that you can also use for maximum MacBook bandwidth as well as with your iPad Pro. Choosing a hub or dock with the latest Thunderbolt 4 connection standard makes perfect sense as TB4 is backwards compatible with USB-C and so will work with any USB-C iPad too. You wont find more modern USB ports on a hub than you get here, and they are all rated at top speeds. As such, its larger than other dedicated iPad hubs, measuring 4.48-x-2.74-x-0.7in (114-x-70-18mm) and weighing 6.2oz (180g). Recommended if you require multiple devices to connect to your iPad, and if you use it with a MacBook, too. Read the Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub review . Choosing a USB-C hub With a hub you can add extra USB ports (Type-C and the older Type-A), SD and MicroSD card readers, gigabit ethernet, wired headphones, cameras, keyboards, and more. You can also connect your USB-C iPad to your computer or to an external display using a hubs USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort outputs. The newest iPad Pro can even connect to Apples Pro Display XDR display. Some USB-C hubs are specially designed for the iPad (and fit neatly with the need for a long cable connection), but you can also use an array of generic USB-C hubs. And you can take it one step further with a full docking station that can also work with your laptop. Depending on which model you buy, a hub or dock connects to the iPad and offers an array of extra ports. USB-C Whatever hub you buy will use up the iPads sole port, so youll need at least one extra USB-C port on the hub for pass-through charging, as you dont want your tablets battery to fade mid use. Make sure at least one of the hubs USB-C ports is capable of Power Delivery (PD) for charging. And look for high charging power if there is a maximum wattage on the hub. The iPad requires at least a 20W charger for fast charging, which all the hubs can handle but a more powerful charger may enable speeds up to 30W. More USB-C ports on the hub mean you can use them for more modern peripherals and an external display that connects via a USB-C cable. The minimum bandwidth of USB 3 is 5Gbps, so this is the most common speed on hubs, but some offer 10Gbps that is more capable for things like connecting an external monitor. Thunderbolt The M1 iPad Pro uses the more capable Thunderbolt connection. It uses the USB-C connector, but Thunderbolt has bandwidth up to 40Gbps compared to just 5Gbps or 10Gbps for USB. Thunderbolt hubs and docks are more expensive than their simpler USB-C cousins, but power users will benefit from the extra bandwidth. For example, a Thunderbolt hub or dock can use this bandwidth to connect a 4K display running at 60Hz and still have data-transfer capacity for other devices such as hard drives. USB-A Universal and reversible, USB-C is a great connector, but most of us still have a few devices that connect via the more common Type-A USB port, such as flash memory sticks, hard drives, and input devices. USB-A ports are mainly used for lower-powered devices, but the ports do come in different speeds. USB 2.0 is the slowest at 480MBs. USB 3.2 Gen 1 is rated at 5Gbps and USB 3.2 Gen 2 is 10Gbps. Some hubs boast multiple USB-A ports, so consider how many you might need to use at the same time. SD and microSD Card readers You can connect a camera or a card reader directly to the iPads USB-C port, but a more flexible option is to use a hub with either an SD or microSD Card reader, and many hubs have both. These little memory cards are also an inexpensive portable storage and backup solution, with capacities of up to 1TB. Look for the faster UHS-II type reader, which can handle up to 312MBps data transfer, compared to UHS-IIs maximum 104MBps. Gigabit ethernet Wired internet or network access is much faster than WiFi, so if youre using your iPad at a desk, make sure the hub you choose has a gigabit ethernet port. Otherwise, youll need to use a USB-C-to-gigabit ethernet adapter that plugs directly into your iPad. Audio If you want to hook up some wired headphones or a microphone, look for a hub with 3.5mm audio jack port since neither the iPad Pro nor the iPad Air has one. External displays A hub is basically essential when using an external display because the iPad has just one USB-C port and you cant simultaneously charge the tablet at the same time. So, youll want to look for a hub with either two USB-C ports (one for charging) or a hub with an HDMI or DisplayPort (or even VGA if you have an older display). It you want to mirror your iPads screen to a larger one, its possible to connect an external display direct with a USB-C cable, but unless the monitor has its own USB-C input, look for a hub with a DisplayPort or HDMI port. Using a hubs USB-C port, you will need either a USB-C-to-HDMI or USB-C-to-DisplayPort cable or adapter. For general productivity purposes, 30Hz screen rates are acceptable for 4K monitors, but 60Hz is better for gaming or action-graphics video. Depending on the cable, you might get varied refresh rates. Its a little confusing, but for the most part, 5Gbps USB-C is mostly limited to 30Hz (but can be pushed to 60Hz if the bandwidth is not taken up by the other ports), a 10Gbps USB-C connection should allow 60Hz 4K, and Thunderbolt will easily push 6K displays with high refresh rates.

Actress Kate Winslet recalls her agent being asked about her weight
LOS ANGELES: Actress Kate Winslet is talking openly about the pressure to appear a specific way when in the spotlight. The Titanic actor discusses how much harder it is now that Winslet's daughter is becoming known for her acting abilities. In an interview with the Sunday Times, she said, When I was younger, my agent would get calls asking, How's her weight?, reports 'Deadline'. Winslet claims that she concerns about being that actress that moves their face and has a body that jiggles and believes that the nature of the business has altered at the age of 47. Mia Threapleton, Winslet's daughter, is 22 years old, and with social media permeating every aspect of everyday life, it provides a new challenge for celebrities who must be more circumspect. Having the flipping News of the World on my doorstep was difficult enough, but that doesn't even cut it now, she remarked. There is no such thing as today's news becoming tomorrow's fish and chip paper. The action you took while intoxicated or foolish? You might be haunted by it later. Being on alert for young actors is just something entirely different. It must be really challenging. In the movie I Am Ruth, in which Winslet co-stars with her daughter, self-identity concerns are at the forefront of the plot.

Lipa Credits Imposter Syndrome for assisting her in Songwriting
Los Angeles: Dua Lipa, a singer who rose to stardom via sharing songs on YouTube, said she finds self-doubting musicians to be inspirational. The pop sensation, who is 27 years old, stated to The Sun on Sunday, December 4: I am frequently greatly inspired by artists that struggle with self-doubt or sadness. Oh my God, do I really have to go through this much suffering in order to be good at what I do? That is sometimes how I feel, and imposter syndrome can occasionally win. In particular when I'm writing. According to aceshowbiz.com, Lipa also expressed concern that her acting won't be up to par when she is required to convey emotional states on camera. Lipa, who just debuted as an actor in a spy film Alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Bryan Cranston, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, and Sam Argylle, he said: It was incredibly exhilarating. However, I'm only taking baby steps. Instead of plunging headfirst into something you can't fully handle, it is the finest method to learn about yourself as well. My biggest concern would be accepting a really important part and realising that I would have to act and display all of my feelings. Where I haven't quite gotten myself there yet. She continued, I try to love my profession, Enjoy making it while you're doing it. Only when it is time for release and you start to wonder, Oh f, are people going to enjoy it? does it become frightening. I feel that way about my songs. It's all wonderful when I'm producing it, and I'm in my own little universe, creating something I'm pleased of. You want to challenge yourself, try something new, and experience this new realm of possibilities. I'm able to block social media. I'm making it for myself because I adore what I'm doing.

RRR beats Spielberg's The Fabelmans in Rolling Stone 22 Best Movies
LOS ANGELES : The prestigious Rolling Stone magazine has named the epic Tollywood movie as one of the 22 Best Movies of 2022 as RRR emerges as an Oscars season favourite throughout America with the Pakistani Punjabi film, Joyland, giving it close competition. The historical adventure drama with patrician company on the international list is directed by S.S. Rajamouli. The Fabelmans, directed by Steven Spielberg, is at No. 15 on the list ('RRR' is at No. 12), 'Tar,' starring Cate Blanchett and about the fall of the well-known female conductor of a classical orchestra, Lydia Tar, is at No. 8, 'The Banshees of Inisherin,' starring Colin Farrell, is at No. 8, 'No Bears,' directed by imprisoned Iranian director Jafar. What Rolling Stone has to say about RRR is as follows: An enraged wolf and an even angrier tiger about to collide in midair when a ripped, shirtless man narrowly avoids them. a rescue operation including a burning train, a horse, a motorcycle, some rope, and the Indian flag, as well as a sinking raft. A dance-off that doubles as a class-conscious f*** you, complete with some carefully choreographed suspender-based routines. A man kicks an arrow through a tree trunk into another man's head, there are bromantic montages, slo-mo brooding, flashbacks that are their own short films, and there is an acrobatic scene when a hero fights legions of warriors while perched on his best friend's shoulders.

Harrison Ford Says Reuniting with Mosquito Coast Costar Helen Mirren...
LOS ANGELES: After initially sharing the screen 36 years ago, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are returning for the soon-to-be released drama series 1923. The performers reconvene in 1923, the prequel to Yellowstone, decades after Peter Weir's 1986 movie The Mosquito Coast. Ford, 80, stated that his respect for Mirren, 77, hasn't changed since then at the Hollywood Legion Theater Post 43 series premiere, according to 'People' magazine. Ford told many media sources, including People, I appreciate her work and her person (today), and I have all the same level of admiration for her as I did then. Working with her again has been enjoyable for both professional and personal reasons because she's wonderful, she's just a nice person, he continued. Ford had already made two Indiana Jones movies and had starred in the first three Star Wars movies by the time 1986 rolled around. In contrast, Mirren claimed that at the time, she thought of herself as a nobody because it would take another 20 years for her to receive an Oscar for her role in The Queen. She recalled, When we first collaborated, he was a tremendous movie star and I was practically nobody. I was really, really intimidated, She uttered: But because I hadn't done anything, I also picked up a lot from him. At that time, I had performed in a lot of plays but few films. So I studied him, and I learned a lot from him about film acting that I'm still applying today. The actors play Jacob and Cara Dutton in 1923, a couple managing a family farm in Montana while coping with the difficulties of the early 20th century, including pandemics, a historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression, according to People. Ford admitted to the media that the conception of the project ultimately hooked him on the part. He said that what drew him to the role was the writing and the ambition of the piece, which is evident from the scope and scale of it. And the character, as well as the clarity of his words and dialogue. Ford was echoed by Mirren, who praised the writing of the series' creator Taylor Sheridan and referred to it as amazing. Being a part of something that is so exciting for the American entertainment industry while also delving into American history in this manner is fantastic, according to Mirren. You know, it's amazing to have that vast sprawl, and I was just thinking earlier that it's like a big Russian novel. You can't do it in two hours. It has the genuine sense of a vast arc of historical development, much like War and Peace. And it's incredibly exciting to play a part in it. she added.

The revolution and the religion in the film Kantara
The film Kantara directed by Rishab Shetty is a blockbuster at the box-office in almost all languages it has been dubbed into. The movies plot has two significant elements pitched at two different levels. One part of the story consists of the struggles of a community of forest dwellers in protecting their land from the dora, the landlord, and from the state that is operating through the forest department. The other part is about the spirituality and religion of outcastes, in this case the worship of the gods Panjurli and Guliga, powerful spirits that speak through the dance art form of Bhootha Kola. This religious element plays a vital role in the story in protecting the lands of the forest dwellers from the dora. The opening scene of the film is set in 1847, a 100 years before the formation of India. This period refers to the power of the autocrats over both the forest and agricultural lands. However the good king who was in search of peace ends up meeting the god Panjurli worshipped in the form of a stone in the middle of the forest. When he attempts to take the god along with him to the palace, Panjurlis spirit speaks through the member of an Adivasi community and demands that the king grant the Adivasis right over the land around their habitat. Panjurli also warns the king that he is always associated with the more ferocious spirit of the god Guliga, who doesnt tolerate any injustice. In the 1970s, the kings inheritor who emerges as a landlord wants to take back the land his ancestors allegedly donated to the Adivasi community. However, Panjurli again speaks through the Bhootha Kola artist and warns the landlord to drop his vicious intentions. The Bhootha Kola performer disappears mystically into the darkness of the forest to prove his divinity. The inheritor dies on the steps leading to the courtroom before he can fight his case in the court of law as foretold by Panjurli. The only son of the Bhootha Kola artist, Shiva, is the protagonist, whose life story is set in the contemporary period. Shiva is a carefree youth who is enticed by the dora with liquor. Though the duty of performing Bhootha Kola is bestowed upon his family, Shiva is scared to inherit this profession for the fear that he might mystically disappear like his father. Shivas first cousin Guruva takes up the duty of performing Kola in lieu of Shiva. While the youth of the community rely extensively on the dora for everything, including protecting themselves from forest officer Muralidhar, Shivas mother is sceptical about the ways of the dora. Leela, Shivas childhood friend and love interest, finds a job as a forest department guard with the help of the dora. However, the dora manipulates both the government and the Adivasi community to transfer much of the Adivasi lands in his name. While the strength of the Adivasis is inadequate to fight the feudal power of the dora or the modern state, it is Guliga, the powerful spirit of the totemistic religion, that becomes the nemesis. The significant women characters are Shivas mother, who is always doubtful about the doras intentions behind providing liquor to the youth, particularly to her son. She keeps warning Shiva not to kill the wild boar as it is worshipped as Panjurli. Another important character is Leela, an educated Adivasi woman keen on making a career as a forest guard. However, she is criticised by the people of her community for working with the forest department that sends them notices against illegal occupation of government lands. Leela is presented as a powerful female character. She begins to ride Shivas bike after his arrest, metaphorically indicating how she takes over the familial responsibilities. Shivas mother criticises him bitterly when he manhandles Leela. Who does the forest belong to? The film depicts the philosophy of the political struggle for land rights in India. When the plot of the movie enters contemporary times in a linear narrative, Shiva is introduced riding oxen in Kambala, a traditional race among south Indian agrarian communities. The dora Devendra is introduced witnessing the game with a great deal of excitement. Mahadeva, an old Adivasi man also watching the race, says in a philosophical tone, While the buffaloes are running in the race without caring for their own life, ironically the owner gets the medal, emphasising on how the armchair dora enjoys the profits while the lowered castes toil in the fields like slaves. Since the plot covers a wide time span from pre-independent India to today, there is a great deal of enigma related to the land ownership. Philosophically, land belongs to no one but to nature or god, depending on whatever philosophical structure one refers to. This is reflected in Shivas fathers words: The problem with people is that they want to take back even something they donated. If they understand where it actually came from and who it should actually belong to, there will be no problem in this world. Similarly, in an encounter with forest officer Muralidhar, Shiva says, This forest belongs to us before the birth of your government. In fact, your government should take permission from us to enter the forest. The philosophical question here is whether the forest belongs to the state or to the forest dwellers who are traditionally associated with it. To talk cogently, land belongs to no one but to nature. In the film, and in reality, the owner of the land is the monarch in pre-independent India while the ownership is later transferred to the democratic state. The question here is, who donated or provided ownership over the land to the king or to the modern state? Both the institutions of power curb the rights and access of the Adivasis, who are historically dependents/protectors of the forest from times before the autocrat or the modern state was formed. So, the antagonist in this context is both the dora and the modern state that is represented through the character of Muralidhar. As the land ownership is sanctioned to the Adivasis by nature or god, it is now the duty of the god to protect their rights. This philosophy is conveyed through the unflinching belief of the Adivasis in Panjurli. The same divine power protects the Adivasis both from the dora and the state. The spirituality and religion of outcastes The divinity is presented through the traditional music and art form of Bhootha Kola in the film. The fascinating part of the religiosity is that the god Panjurli is not a Vedic Hindu god, with Muralidhar asserting my belief is different from yours. Muralidhar does not even hesitate to disrupt the Bhootha Kola as it is believed to be the religion of lowered castes/outcastes, one that has no relation to the Vedic religion that the dominant castes practise. Both for the dora and for Muralidhar, Panjurli is a demigod worshipped by the forest dwellers. Though the dora sponsors Bhootha Kola performances in order to seek the approval of the Adivasis, he doesnt believe in Panjurli or Guliga, the gods of the outcastes. Even in the narration of the story of the good king who was in search of peace, Panjurli is referred to as a mere pestle used for grinding spices. Dora Devendra practises the Brahminic religion and upholds untouchability. He washes his hands after touching Shiva and gets his house ritualistically purified by a group of Brahmins after Shiva enters his house. Thus, the film makes a clear demarcation between Brahminical Hinduism and the religiosity of the outcastes. The term Hindu is a colonial invention as it created a constitutive other to the religions of the book, combining even unique animistic, totemistic religions with Vedic Brahminism. These outcaste religions like the worship of female goddesses such as Yellamma in Telangana and Maharashtra, or worship of Naga/snake by lowered caste society in Bengal or Andhra Pradesh represent the historical conflict between Vedic Brahminism and the religions formed as revolts against the hegemony of Vedic Brahminism. For instance, the Naga tribe that worshipped the snake goddess Manasa is allegedly considered an adversary to Shaivism (Coomaraswamy and Nivedita, 1914). In Mahabharata, the sarpayaga (Vedic/Brahminic ritual) is conducted by Janamejaya in order to wipe out the population of Nagas (Menon, 2011). In sarpayaga/sarpa satra, all Nagas are burnt alive in the ritualistic fire. Thus, Naga worship is defined as a counter to the Vedic religion of Brahmins. The conflict between revolutionary religions and Vedic religion is evident throughout history (Coomaraswamy and Nivedita, 1914). Appropriation of local traditions Ambedkar argues in Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India that various alternative forms of religiosity, mainly Buddhism, was a revolution that drew lowered castes and outcastes into its fold (Ambedkar, 1987). However, the Vedic religion fought relentlessly to appropriate certain ideals such as non-violence and vegetarianism from these counter/revolting religions in order to re-entice people into their fold. Thus, powerful local traditions are appropriated by the Brahminic religion through the construction of oral narratives that bring connections between the Hindu scriptures and the gods/goddesses of the lowered castes or outcastes. The oral narratives that contrive connections between Renuka who was beheaded by her son Parashurama and Yellamma, worshipped by outcastes, helped to create a common Hindu religiosity and retain the Brahmin dominance over the religions. Brahminical Hinduism actively and continuously engages in creating history to appropriate the powerful spiritualities of the outcastes. The film needs to be understood in the light of this demarcation between Brahminical Hinduism and counter religions. The conflict between the hegemonic Vedic religion and the other religions is not a new phenomenon. Local leaders or goddesses of the outcastes/Adivasis such as Chanchita are appropriated as the incarnation of the Brahminic goddess Lakshmi, i.e., Chenchu Lakshmi. All the female power is equated to the power of Parvathi, the goddess of Vedic religion (Coomaraswamy and Nivedita, 1914). This appropriation of local traditions or counter-religious trends into the fold of Vedic religiosity is as ancient as the Puranas and epics, but it is relentlessly perpetuated in contemporary times as well. This perpetuation of re-appropriation of counter religions is known as counter-revolution of the Vedic religiosity, according to Ambedkar (Ambedkar, 1987). Even rival religious trends like Shaivism and Vaishnavism subsumed each other and continued to coexist harmoniously in the name of Hinduism. This appropriation of opponent religions reinstates the hegemony of the Brahmins and dominant castes both in religion and society. There is also a danger of viewing Panjurli as the incarnation of Vishnu (Varaha avatar). In fact, every avatar shows how the Brahminic religion soaked up the counter/coexisting religions. Ironically, even revolutionary religious leaders like Buddha are contrived as one of the avatars of Vishnu. Even today, both the makers and viewers of Kantara may categorise Panjurli as an incarnation of Vishnu. It is also made possible by the descriptions of Varaha avatar and Narasimha avatar in the Bhagavatam. Appropriation of local traditions by the Vedic religion is as old as the Vedas itself. It dates back to the times of the Vedas, Brahmanas, Upanishads and epics. One of the examples is how the scriptures that belong to the later Vedic period, i.e., 1000 to 600 BCE, itself appropriated vegetarianism and the principles of non-violence propagated by Buddha and Mahaveera. Similarly, the conflict between Shaivism and Vaishnavism is portrayed through the stories of Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu being slain by Vishnu in his forms of Varaha (pig) and Narasimha (half-human and half-lion) respectively. The two are killed for merely worshipping Shiva. But today, dominant caste Hindus, lowered castes, and outcastes worship these two figures of Shiva and Vishnu as the two faces of Hinduism. Thus, the two historical adversaries coexist harmoniously. Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu are mentioned in texts like the Bhagavatham, the Puranas, and even some Buddhist texts. These stories substantiate the violence perpetrated on aboriginal groups by the outsider. Moreover, no Veda was initially written and preserved in the form of a text. These are oral renderings, disseminated only among Brahmin men. Likewise, even the written scriptures were not written at once. There were additions done to epics in different periods. Thus, we have hundreds of Ramayanas Kamba Ramayana, Valmiki Ramayana, Molla Ramayana, Thai Ramayana, Marathi Ramayana to name a few. The story of the Naga king inviting Buddha and accepting Buddhist principles are mentioned in Buddhist texts (Lowell W Bloss, 1973). Nagas being burnt alive is mentioned in the Mahabharata. Narasimha is worshipped among outcastes. He married Chenchita, a woman belonging to the Chenchu community. In later renderings, Chenchita became Chenchu Lakshmi. In contemporary society, pigs and snakes are not worshipped by Brahmins in the way they worship the cow. Brahmins even do pujas for sarpadosha to escape the fear of being bitten by a snake. However, Brahmin priests play a pivotal role even in the traditions that have no scriptural base. For example, Bonalu (worship of Yellamma) and Bathukamma (worship of nature) are not mentioned in any scripture. In Gogu Shyamalas story But Why Shouldnt the Baindla Woman Ask For Her Land? (Gogu, 2012), a Brahmin priest says that he has never read about the goddess Ooradamma worshipped by Telanganas Sabbanda communities (communities that indulge in productive labour). He has knowledge about Lakshmi, Parvathi, and Saraswati but not Ooradamma. However, the Brahmin priest appears amid these traditions as well. This is made possible by the flexibility that Brahmins infused into the scriptures by holding the power to interpret and reinterpret their scriptures. One such interpretation is that all female power originates from Parvathi, Shivas wife. Moreover, the outcaste and lowered castes often seek validation from Brahminism to be treated as Hindus. Even lowered castes uphold the stories of Jamadagni and Parashurama beheading their goddess Yellamma. In fact, this story is another example of how the outsiders perpetrated violence on the aboriginal autonomous women leaders from the matriarchal cultures. The god Panjurli can easily be appropriated with the Varaha avatar of the Brahminic god Vishnu. In fact, the narration of the Varaha avatar is nothing but the appropriation of the gods from the totemistic religions like worship of Panjurli, the spirit of the wild boar that is believed to protect the land of the forest-dwellers. It is similar to the Brahminic Hindu appropriation of Venkateswara (erstwhile god of the tribal groups in Andhra) as another incarnation of Vishnu even though there is no scriptural base to Venkateswara. This appropriation of traditions and manipulation of history takes place due to the sole authority of Brahmins to interpret the scriptures. Kantara takes up the challenge of whether it is possible to derive the rhetoric of revolution from religiosity. While the film succeeded in portraying the historically radical religions that revolted against the hegemonic Brahminism, the danger of constructing all religiosity (animistic or totemistic) as merely Hindu is ever present in Indian society. However, the outcastes rely on the revolutionary religions to construct the rhetoric of resistance to caste oppression in Kantara . They invoke revolutionary gods Panjurli and Guliga to fight the feudal power of the landlord and the bureaucracy of the enigmatic modern state. Unlike Rama who sanctions the dominance of Brahmins, Krishna, who upholds the hegemony of Kshatriyas, (Chakravarti, 2003, Rege, 2013) Panjurli and Guliga fights against the feudal landlord to protect the rights of the forest-dwellers.

Unhealthy, desexualised, or comic relief: Plus-sized character depictions in films
Film Commentary TNM takes a look at the representation of plus-sized characters in Tami, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi films. Saradha U Facebook/ T Series When the Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi starrer Double XL was promoted before its theatrical release in November this year, the film was seen as a silver lining by a small, yet substantial number of movie buffs and critics who observe films through the lens of representation and portrayals of body image. Double XL is among the first few Indian films narrating the stories of two plus-sized women and unlike movies in the past featuring actors in superficial fat suits, Double XL has lead actors who look the part. However, having said that, the Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi starrer fails to impress on the whole, despite hitting a few right notes. At a rather important point in the film when Huma Qureshis Rajshree Trivedi is on the verge of giving up her dreams, she says with a frown, Humko yahi life mili hai (this is the life given to me), implying that she is forced to endure it. Unfortunately, that is the sentiment shared by the audience too. A viewer among the audience in the theatre responded, Humko yahi film mili hai (This is the film given to us). Rajshree, who is from Meerut, aspires to be a sports commentator. She is bogged down by her infuriating mother who either forces her to get married or constantly shames her body weight. On the other hand, Saira Khanna (Sonakshi Sinha), a fashion designer, is inching closer to her dream of launching her label. Saira, dating an aspiring model and gym enthusiast, ignores the red flags in her relationship and eventually gets cheated on by him. Both the personal and professional lives of the leading women of Double XL come crashing down due to reasons that are partly associated with their body image. The two women meeting each other when they are amid mental breakdowns and discussing their lives is a sequence that had the potential to be a poignant reflection on systemic fat phobia and its implications, but it turns into a flimsy scene because the makers of Double XL refuse to take themselves seriously (which is evident from the clothes designed by Saira in the film). Rajshree is denied an opportunity to interview for the position of sports presenter despite being qualified because she is plus-size. Instead of focusing on the characters emotional struggle at the time, director Satramm Ramani places an animated scene that fails to make viewers feel empathetic towards Rajshree. The makers shy away from discussing whether fatphobia has failed to create a level-playing field for professionals, excluded people based on the way they look and whether it is a common practice across the board in the field of sports journalism. Similarly, as a fashion designer and a plus-sized woman, Sonakshis Saira could have been a good plot device to take a critical look at the fashion industry, especially concerning the experiences of plus-sized models and actors. Sairas big idea of starting a brand for plus-sized women is presented as a novelty in the film without acknowledging how the body positivity movement has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years, specifically post the involvement of plus-size influencers in the discourse. Nonetheless, some of the criticism against the body positivity movement about it being rooted in consumerist ideals, not being inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community, being limited in scope only to a few social media users, elitism, omission of people with disabilities, and posts by body positivity influencers coming across as a subset of toxic positivity are also applicable to Double XL. Double XLs failure to authentically represent the lived experiences of plus-sized people on the big screen hardly comes as a shock. Time and again, filmmakers have fallen prey to typecasting plus-sized people rather than offering them roles that cinematically map their experiences without being trite. Fat is equated with being unhealthy Be it the representation of lived experiences on the big screen or the dialogue around body positivity, the conversation is often ambushed with the subject of obesity and its health risks. On social media or otherwise, these counterarguments are mired with factual inaccuracies. There are glaring similarities between the irrational objections to the movement and their on-screen portrayal. In cinema, plus-sized characters are always shown as unhealthy people who are obsessed with food. Bombat Hendthi, a 1992 Kannada film depicts politician and actor Girija, popularly known by her screen name Sruthi, as a plus-sized character obsessed with food. Even a strong comedy writer like Crazy Mohan relies on fat jokes directed toward child actor Bharath in the popular 2002 Tamil movie Panchathanthiram to elicit laughs. Double XL, a movie that claims to authentically represent plus-sized characters, which hit the big screens 30 years after Bombat Hendthi, features Sonakshi delivering a powerful monologue slamming people who body shame, only for it to be followed by a scene where the lead characters can be seen gorging on burgers and fries, thus reinforcing the existing stereotypes that equate fat with unhealthy. Should filmmakers then not feature plus-size people eating on screen? On the contrary, there are discourses around plus-sized people not being able to eat comfortably in public spaces without being looked at in a disapproving manner, or shamed for their food choices a predicament their small-bodied counterparts seldom have to deal with. If director Satramm had set the right context in Double XL by mirroring how the mere act of eating makes them susceptible to shaming, viewers might have seen the leads in the film relying on food for comfort as an act of rebellion rather than blunt patronisation. Such half-baked discussions neither do justice to the dialogue around body positivity nor health. Obesity, for instance, could be caused by a range of factors including lack of socio-economic access to a nutritious diet, hereditary factors, consumption of mental health medications, hormonal disorders, or other factors. Read: Why can't a princess be fat? A group of plus-size actors is taking on beauty stereotypes Films fail to delve deeper Over the past years, if not decades, plus-sized actors have been cast in movies only for comic relief. Problematic dialogues dished out under the garb of comedy are hardly called out. Each film industry is likely to have a set of plus-sized characters who become the butt of fatphobic jokes. Actors Vidyulleka Raman, and Deepa Shankar, child actors Bharath, and Harathi in Kollywood, late actor Kalpana in Mollywood, actor Geetha in Tollywood, actor Doddanna in Sandalwood, and several others serve as examples of this. Gautham Vasudev Menons Neethane En Ponvasantham (2012) dedicates a huge chunk of its run time to feature a parallel romantic track starring Vidyulekha and Santhanam, a segment peppered with fat jokes, hardly leaving room for the nuances that get lost in the mix. Other films like Vijays Tamil film Bigil (2019), and the Kannada movie Hatavadi (2006), go to the extent of interspersing trumpet sounds with visuals of dark-skinned, plus-sized characters on screen, to compare them with elephants. Vijay, one of the most prominent Kollywood stars, also uses adjectives like Gundamma (fat woman) and says hurtful things to supposedly inspire and motivate one of his students to perform better in a football match, in Bigil. It will perhaps take more years and unlearning for Tamil filmmakers to understand the impact of weight stigma on mental health, but it is disheartening to see such scenes open to applause in theatres, normalising such attitudes. Similarly, the 2015 Tamil-Telugu bilingual Size Zero starring Anushka Shetty in the lead role as Soundarya or Sweety is only ridden with cliches about plus-sized bodies. It is only after almost an hour into the film that Sweety becomes invested in finding out the perils of slimming centers. Every aspect of Sweetys life is connected to her weight, perpetuating the stereotype that plus-sized people cannot lead full lives unless they lose weight (the audience might have as well turned to their judgemental aunts instead of watching this film). Such scenes make the viewers wonder whether the filmmakers, in their attempts to condemn fatphobia, have given a platform for the very thing they set out to question. In what can be construed as another variation of the damsel in distress trope, we see Sweety being unhappy with her life until her romantic interest enters the picture. The 2017 Hindi film Noor, and Karan Johars 2003 Hindi film Kal Ho Naa Hos treatment of Jaspreet or Sweetu (Delnaaz Paul) are also in the same vein. The 2018 Hindi film Fanney Khan, a film that supposedly focuses on the journey of Lata ( Peehu Sand), an aspiring singer who is ridiculed for being overweight, puts the spotlight entirely on Prashanth Kumar or Fanney Khan (Anil Kapoor), her father. Women actors not having well-rounded characters to play or being roped in only to support the male lead in the story is not uncommon in Indian cinema. This is also true for actor Shikha Talsanias role in the 2009 Hindi film Wake Up Sid. She is the hero Sids (Ranbir Kapoor) bubbly and positive best friend who is there to support him at all times. When the makers finally give a moments screen time to explore who Laxmi is as a person, it is utilised to show her having a breakdown about her body weight and confiding in Sid that she has had a tough time following a fitness regime to shed her weight. While it is true that treating a plus-sized character with empathy is a rarity, especially in Bollywood, Wake Up Sid does not truly invest in Shikhas character. The scene plays out minutes before it finally dawns on Sid that everyone around him has their share of struggles. But what about the supporting actors character arc? One cannot help but wonder why filmmakers chose to depict plus-sized characters, who are already so scarcely seen in movies, without fully committing themselves to the idea. Read: From body image to fertility issues, PCOS is the nightmare 1 in 5 Indian women live with Depiction of plus-sized people as undesirable A clip from popular singer-songwriter Taylor Swifts music video Anti-Hero courted controversy when it was released in October this year. In the clip, the musician steps onto a bathroom scale, and when the dial spins, the word FAT pops up instead of numbers. Taylor looks up at her doppelganger who is visibly disappointed. Observing that the clip was fatphobic, many social media users pointed out that the scene equates fat to being ugly or undesirable. Taylor Swifts music video, where she looks down at the scale where it says fat, is a shitty way to describe her body image struggles. Fat people dont need to have it reiterated yet again that its everyones worst nightmare to look like us, eating disorder therapist and body positivity blogger Shira Rose tweeted. Though many of Taylor Swifts fans argued that the intent behind the clip was to critique internalised fatphobia, it was countered by social media users citing how someone like Taylor Swift, an artist with a global fan following, can adversely impact audiences with such misplaced messaging. They also noted that despite Taylor having opened up about her struggles with eating disorders in the past, it was irresponsible of her a White person conforming to conventional beauty ideals to use the word fat in the aforementioned context without understanding its connotations. Shortly after the clip sparked a row, it was removed by Taylor from her YouTube video. A similar response is hardly seen by Indian creators when their art is under scrutiny for being fatphobic. Arjun Reddy (2017, Telugu), which was condemned for its sexist plotline, was also opposed for an appalling scene where the protagonist asks his girlfriend to befriend a fat classmate because he believes that fat people are like Teddy bears and are loyal. Plus-sized characters or even actors who do not conform to accepted beauty ideals are presented to viewers as undesirable and desexualised. Attributes like chubby and bubbly are generously tossed around to describe them. They are often seen as the supportive best friend to the hero, the tomboy, or the down-to-earth girl, whose personality attracts the hero, but not their physical appearance. In the 2022 Tamil film Thiruchitrambalam, Dhanush who plays the titular role is best friends with Shobana (Nithya Menen). He falls head over heels in love with other conventionally prettier women but professes his love for Shobana because of her personality. But what about his romantic or sexual interest in her? Arent they crucial to a romantic relationship? If the protagonist does not find their plus-sized partner to be sexually attractive, is he making a compromise? Doesn't it imply that in the heros eye, his partner is not viewed as his equal? The 2019 Hindi film Udja Chaman revolves around Chaman who experiences premature balding and is unable to find a bride for himself as a result. He matches with his to-be-partner Apsara (Maanvi Gagroo) through a dating app. A few fat-phobic jokes and a dreary scene later (where the couple meet with an accident while driving because of Apsaras weight), Chaman becomes romantically interested in Apsara, a plot point that is not only fatphobic but also insensitive. Read: Pitied and desexualised: How Malayalam cinema has portrayed people with disability Positive representation Few and far between, a handful of movies have shown well-researched and nuanced plus-sized characters on screen. The 2006 Telugu film Kithakithalu and the 2015 Hindi film Dum Laga Ke Haisha share a similar plot line: The male protagonists are forcefully married to plus-sized women they do not like. But the similarity begins and ends there. Kithakithalus reductionist approach is in stark contrast to Dum Laga Ke Haishas which is set in the 1990s and tracks the lives of Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar) and Prem Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana). The well-educated and talented Sandhya marrying Prem, a man who underperforms professionally or otherwise, is advantageous to both families. Prems dislike for Sandhya partly stems from his aversion towards plus-sized women and his incompetence. The perennially bad-tempered Prem shames Sandhya before his friends and is displeased to even look at her. The rest of the film tracks the emotional journeys of the two characters and closely offers a peep into the evolving relationship between them. Unlike most of the other films featuring plus-sized characters, Dum Laga Ke Haisha represents the qualms of living as a plus-sized woman the stigma she has to endure and the lack of support from family or friends, without taking away her agency. Prems insensitive comments are not encouraged, nor is he condescendingly applauded for dating a plus-sized woman, as was the case with the films discussed previously. Malayalam films like Da Thadiya (2012) and Kakshi: Amminippilla (2019) were also praised at the time of their release for better portrayals of plus-sized people. Masaba Masaba is perhaps the only recent Indian web series to cast Rytasha Rathore, a plus-sized woman in a role that does not slot her under that category. The third season of the Hindi Amazon Prime web series Four More Shots Please! which was released in October this year, opened to mixed and negative responses. Nevertheless, Sidhi Patel (Maanvi Gagroo), one of the lead characters, has a rattling sequence that prods audiences to think about the ramifications of fat fetishism, a topic that is seldom discussed. Representation of plus-sized characters on the silver screen will be normalised only when filmmakers stop exoticising them and relegating them to roles offering comic relief wherein subjecting them to humiliation becomes the basis of the humour. Plus-sized characters are not people who need to be saved or motivated to change themselves in ways that society demands to pursue their dreams. It is high time that filmmakers reevaluate how the commonly used storylines centered around plus-sized people mirror societal prejudices and instead, narrate stories based on lived experiences that are treated with honesty and empathy.

iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 14 Pro: Size doesnt matter but everything else does
Following Apples annual update to its all-conquering smartphone range, there are now four new iPhones: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you are trying to decide between the similarly sizes iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro we are here to help you decide if it is worth spending extra on the pro iPhone, or if the cheaper standard iPhone would be suitable for you. This question has become more pertinent than ever because the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are suffering from sever shortages with waiting lists are extending to January. This is due to Covid-related lockdowns and walkouts at Foxconns Chinese factory. Luckily Apple manufacturers the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus in a factory in India, so those handsets arent suffering the same shortages. This is why if you want a new iPhone right now the iPhones 14 and 14 Plus might be the ones you have to settle for. Should you wait until the iPhone 14 Pro is back in stock or go ahead and buy an iPhone 14 or event the iPhone 14 Plus? Heres our guide to the main differences so you know whether or not its worth waiting to go Pro. iPhone 14 Read our review MSRP: $799 (128GB) | $899 (256GB) | $1,099 (512GB) Best Prices Today: $799 at Apple | $799.99 at Best Buy | $829 at Visible iPhone 14 Pro MSRP: From $999 Best Prices Today: $999 at Apple iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Design Its easy to spot the differences between the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro handsets but less simple to distinguish between this generation and the predecessors. From the front youll notice that the iPhone 14 retains the notch, which is the same size as the notch on the iPhone 13, but smaller than that on the iPhone 12. In contrast, The iPhone 14 Pro (and Pro Max) have a new feature the Dynamic Island. This is an evolution of the notch. The notch is still there but its a lot smaller, and now there is a clever way that Apple utilises the space around the notch to kind of turn it into a menu. Well discuss this more later. iPhone 14 and 14 Plus Apple Turn the iPhones around and from the back there are clear differences between the two handsets. As is usually the case, the standard iPhone has two lenses, placed diagonally, while the iPhone 14 Pro has three lenses. Well talk in more detail about the differences in the cameras below. One difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and the 13 Pro is that the cameras take up a lot more surface area, so thats an easy way to identify the generation. The differences between the iPhone 14 its predecessor arent as obvious. Basically, if youve held an iPhone 13 then youve pretty much held an iPhone 14, at least in terms of aesthetics. The outward design is almost identical to the iPhone 13. The dimensions are nearly the same although Apple has managed to shave off 2g of weight on the new model. The new model is just the slightest bit thicker, too. Beware that Apple appears to have slightly shifted the location of the side and volume buttons, so you may run into problems when using a case made for the iPhone 13 on an iPhone 14. While the iPhone 14 Pro retains much of the design language from its predecessor, Its the tiniest bit taller, narrower, and thicker, and heavier (not that youd notice). Height Width Depth Weight iPhone 14 5.78 inches (146.7mm) 2.82 inches (71.5mm) 0.31 inch (7.80-mm) 6.07 ounces (172 grams) iPhone 14 Plus 6.33 inches (160.8 mm) 3.07 inches (78.1 mm) 0.31 inch (7.80 mm) 7.16 ounces (203 grams) iPhone 14 Pro 5.81 inches (147.5mm) 2.81 inches (71.5mm) 0.31 inch (7.85-mm) 7.27 ounces (206 grams) iPhone 14 Pro Max 6.33 inches (160.7 mm) 3.05 inches (77.6 mm) 0.31 inch (7.85 mm) 8.47 ounces (240 grams) Both the iPhone 14 and its Pro sibling have a glass back panel to allow for wireless charging from MagSafe or Qi compatible chargers this isnt a new feature, its been offered by iPhones for some years now. Both iPhones also have the same IP68 water and dust resistance rating as each other and their predecessors, which should ensure even a quick dip shouldnt be able to stop the iPhone in its tracks. iPhone 14 Pro Apple Both iPhones feature the Ceramic Shield, which should offer some protection, but the Pro chassis is made from a superior surgical grade stainless steel as opposed to the aerospace-grade aluminum on the standard model, which adds some extra weight and should withstand more knocks. Another key difference between the Pro and standard iPhones is the color finishes available. The iPhone 14 (and Plus) come in blue, purple, midnight, starlight and red. The iPhone 14 Pro (and Pro Max) come in deep purple, gold, silver and black. The colors suggest that the iPhone 14 is the fun phone, while the Pro model is more refined and serious. Both iPhone models come with an 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display (the iPhone 14 Pro and Plus share a 6.7-inch display. The screens arent completely identical though the Pro screen has additional features we discuss below. iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Display As mentioned above, both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro come with 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED displays, although the Pros models get the more power-efficient and controllable LTPO versions. For this generation though, there are some other big differences. As with the iPhone 13 series, ProMotion is only on the Pro modelsit allows for variable refresh rates up to 120Hz. The standard models always run at 60Hz. Related to this screen technology, Apple has also introduced an Always-On display with the iPhone 14 Pro, so you can see incoming notifications, the time, and other widgets without having to wake the phone. In order to stop these notifications draining battery life Apple is able to use the ProMotion feature to reduce the refresh rate to a low level that uses less power. Hence Always on is reserved for the iPhone 14 Pro (and Pro Max). Perhaps the biggest change is with the notch. On the iPhone 14 you have the standard black block with cameras and sensors that has been a feature of iPhones for years now, but the iPhone 14 Pro features the new Dynamic Island . This, as the name suggests, detaches the notch from the edge of the display and creates a pill-shaped island at the top of the screen. Apple has added some clever design to this so that the shape changes to accommodate various notifications, quick controls for apps running in the background, or is just incorporated into system messages all while disguising the fact that the camera cutouts are even there. Apple Obviously, the notch will still be visible when watching movies or other video content on the iPhone 14 Pro, it is much smaller than previously and in all other instances it now becomes a useful feature rather than an ugly encumbrance. In terms of brightness, the iPhone 14 tops out at 800 nits in typical use and 1,200 peak brightness when viewing HDR content. The Pro models beat this with respective scores of 1,000 and 1,600 nits, and can jump all the way up to 2,000 nits in bright light outdoors. Other than that, both boast 2,000,000:1 contrast ratios, True Tone, Wide color (P3), Haptic Touch, and similar 460 ppi resolution. If the 6.1-inch screen isnt big enough, then Pro users can select the 6.7 inch version that is the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This year standard iPhone users get the same option thanks to the introduction of the iPhone 14 Plus . Its essentially the same phone, just in a larger size. Max brightness (SDR) Max brightness (HDR) ProMotion Other features iPhone 14/Plus 800 nits 1,200 nits No True Tone, Wide color iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max 1,000 nits (2,000 outdoors) 1,600 nits Yes (120Hz) True Tone, Wide color, Dynamic Island, Always-on-display iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Processor While on paper it looks like the iPhone 14 has the same chip as its predecessor, the iPhone 13, that isnt quite true. Instead, Apple has opted to use the slightly tweaked version of the A15 that appeared in the iPhone 13 Pro devices. It has five GPU cores instead of four, providing significantly better graphics performance. The iPhone 14 Pro models have the new A16 chip. It has a similar six-core CPU, five-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine, but is made on a 4nm manufacturing process that improves power efficiency and allows the chip to run a bit faster. It also uses LPDDR5 memory instead of LPDDR4x, which delivers up to 50% more memory bandwidth. The image signal processor and display engine are new, which enable the always-on display and new camera capabilities of the Pro models. In terms of raw performance, you can expect the iPhone 14 Pro models to be a bit faster than the standard iPhone 14on the order of around 10% or so.

In the standard models youll find a new 12MP f/1.5 main camera, and a 2.4 aperture ultra wide camera, while The Pro models now boast a 48MP camera with a /1.78 aperture on the main camera that is a serious upgrade to the standard 12MP that has featured up to this point. This features a sensor 65% bigger than that on the iPhone 13 Pro. It takes 12MP images by combing four pixels into one, but you can take full 48MP images in ProRAW mode. It also enables a new 2x telephoto mode in addition to the 3x mode provided by the separate telephoto camera (/2.8 aperture). The 12MP f/2.2 Ultra Wide camera has a larger sensor that captures more light, too. Macro photos and video remain a Pro model exclusive. Apple The Pro model also offers second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x optical zoom options and Adaptive True Tone flash, all of which all superior to the standard iPhone. Only the iPhone 14 Pro offers Night Mode Portrait, Macro photography and ProRAW capabilities. Both the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro share the new image processing pipeline Apple calls Photonic Engine that combines uncompressed images to make the best possible final composite picture, especially in low light. Cinematic Mode gets an upgrade from 1080p/30fps on the iPhone 13 to 4K/30fps on the iPhone 14, plus theres the brand new Action Mode on both phones that uses advanced stabilization techniques to make video footage look smooth, even if youre running along while recording. The front-facing selfie cameras on both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are still 12MP, but have a wider f/1.9 aperture with autofocus, for improved selfies and video calls.

According to Apples specs, the iPhone 14 can manage 20 hours of video playback from a single charge, a one-hour improvement over the iPhone 13. The iPhone 14 Pro is rated for 23 hours, also up one hour from the iPhone 13 Pro. If you want more battery life then you can turn to the larger models: the iPhone 14 Plus is rated for up to 26 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is rated for up to 29 hours. Youre looking at some really excellent battery life no matter which phone you choose, but the Pro models should be a little better thanks to the more advanced and power-efficient display and A16 processor. iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Price Needless to say, the Pro suffix comes with a cost. Heres how the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models compare: iPhone 14 128GB $799/849 256GB $899/959 512GB $1,099/1,179 iPhone 14 Plus 128GB $899/949 256GB $999/1,059 512GB $1,199/1,279 iPhone 14 Pro 128GB $999/1,099 256GB $1,099/1,209 512GB $1,299/1,429 1TB $1,499/1,649 iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB $1,099/1,199 256GB $1,199/1,309 512GB $1,399/1,529 1TB $1,599/1,749 If you have a limited budget you might want to consider whats more important to you, a bigger SSD, or a better camera. You could, for example, buy a 512GB iPhone 14 for the same price as a 256GB iPhone 14 Pro (slightly less in fact if you are in the U.K.) You dont have to pay those prices though, to find the best prices for an iPhone take a look at the price comparison tables below. iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Which one should you buy? The iPhone 14 is a hugely capable smartphone that will deliver on the most important features that most users want. It has great cameras, a powerful processor, good battery life and plenty of bells and whistles that will keep you happy for the next couple of years. This is the sensible choice for most of us, particularly when you factor in the $200/250 difference between standard and Pro models with the same storage capacity. But if you want cutting edge silicon, arguably the most advanced photo and video setup on any smartphone around, not to mention ProMotion, the Dynamic Island, and an Always-On Display, then the iPhone 14 Pro is a seriously impressive device. You just might have to wait a little longer to get your hands on one of the better iPhones though. iPhone 14, from $799/849 Retailer Price $799 View Deal $799.99 View Deal Visible $829 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide iPhone 14 Pro, from $999/1,099 Retailer Price $999 View Deal Visible $999 View Deal $999.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Smartphones
Everything coming from Apple in December: Are any holiday surprises on the way?
December is typically a slow month for Apple. There are rarely any significant new hardware releases, and those that are typically are announced and preordered earlier, with December delivery dates. The most significant new Apple releases in December tend to be operating system updates. We get iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates near the end of the year that often add significant new features that simply werent ready for their initial release a few months earlier. Thats true again this year with iOS/iPadOS 16.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1. And of course, now that Apple is also a big services company with a constant content push, you can expect releases for Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, as well as holiday and year-end content in places like Apple Music. Heres whats on the way from Apple in December of 2022. For more information on whats coming up read: Every new Apple product coming in 2023 . New hardware releases: Probably not Theres no announced hardware launching in December. Everything announced for the year has already shipped, and everything rumored (like new Macs) is expected in March at the earliest. Weve been here before, though. Two years ago, the AirPods Max headphones were announced by surprise in December with a direct-to-web release and no event. At the time, there were vague rumors of Apple working on over-the-ear headphones, but nobody expected a release right before the holidays. Apple also announced that the original AirPods were available for sale in December 2016 and the iMac Pro in 2017, so December is no stranger to important announcements. So while we think December is likely to be devoid of new hardware releases, when it comes to Apple, you can never be sure! Apps and software updates However, we are nearly certain that new software is on the way this month. Apple has been testing its latest iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates since late October, and we expect them to go out to everyone before the end of the year. iOS 16.2: We expect iOS 16.2 to launch probably in the first or second week of December. It adds the ability to disable the always-on display wallpaper on iPhone 14 Pro, the Freeform app, new lock screen widgets, and a new faster and more reliable architecture for the Home app. iPadOS 16.2: iPadOS gets the same features that iOS does (where relevantthere are no lock screen widgets, for example), and brings back external display support for Stage Manager in iPads with an M1 or M2 chip. tvOS 16.2: The new Home architecture is included in this release, as is a new Siri recognition feature that will recognize individual users voices (similar to HomePod). macOS Ventura 13.1: Most of the changes to macOS here are under the hood (like the new Home architecture), but it does include the new Freeform app, just like iOS and iPadOS. Services Apple TV+ Here are the shows, series, and movies we expect to release on Apple TV+ in TK. If you want to know whats coming later, check our full guide to upcoming Apple TV+ content . Slow Horses (season 2): Continuation of the darkly comedic British spy drama starring Gary Oldman. December 2 Little America (season 2): An anthology of immigrant stories, telling the personal tales of those who come to America from somewhere else. December 9 Emancipation: Will Smith plays Peter, a runaway slave in Louisiana who has to evade capture as he makes his way to the North, where he joins the Union Army. December 9 Puppy Place (season 2): Charles and Lizzie Peterson have found the perfect way to foster their love of dogs literally. The siblings take on the tough but rewarding task of fostering puppies and finding their forever homes. With every new pup, a new adventure begins. December 9 Apple Arcade Apple releases new games to Apple Arcade on Fridays, but not every Friday is marked by a new game or significant update. Check our Apple Arcade FAQ for a full list of Apple Arcade games and more details on the service. Some games are released with no forewarning, but youll often see several projects listed in the Coming Soon section. These are the releases we know of so far. Dead Cells+: A top-notch roguelike side-scrolling action game comes to Apple Arcade. December 2 JellyCar Worlds: The classic driving/drawing puzzle platforming game is back.

More than 50 fun and funny things to ask Siri
Siri is Apples voice assistant and appears on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and HomePod. It easily handles things like settings timers and alarms, adding appointments to your calendar, making calls, messaging, playing music or podcasts, and there are tons of lesser-known Siri features you might find helpful . But while Siri has no gender and is neither a person nor a robot, it is meant to have a pleasant personality, and that means its supposed to be fun . Siri can tell jokes if you ask it to, but it also has a lot of fun and witty responses to everyday questions. In this article, we bring you a list of questions you should ask Siri if you want Siri to give funny answers. Its worth asking them more than once because many of them have multiple results. And make sure youve got the volume turned up to hear the response. So, read on if you want to hear Siri get sassy, get Siri to rap and beatbox, discover what happens when you ask Siri to sing a song, how to flirt with Siri, calculate what zero divided by zero is, and whether Siri is any good at telling jokes. Here are the funniest things to ask Siri. We wont spoil the fun by listing all of Siris replies. To ask Siri a question you need to say Hey Siri And then ask your question, although there are rumors that Apple may soon drop the requirement to say Hey first. Things to ask Siri at Christmas Unlike Alexa Siri doesnt have a direct connection to Santa and a message a day, but Apples assistant does still have some Christmassy things to say. Just note that after a holiday period has ended, Siri may no longer answer seasonalquestions. Does Santa Claus exist? Is Santa real? Siri has a few different responses to this one, so ask a few times. Where does Santa live? What should I get my (sister, husband, friend, mum, dad, wife etc) for Christmas? There were surprisingly good suggestions here. What do you want for Christmas? Getting to know Siri Siri has a lot of fun responses to questions about itincluding pointing out that it is not a human, a robot, or male or female. There are multiple responses to most of these and they seem to change over the years. What does Siri mean? Are you a robot? How much do you cost? How much do you get paid? Are you a man or a woman? Do you have any pets? What is your favorite animal? Whats your favorite food/drink? How old are you? Who created you? Windows or Mac? Whats the best phone? Or you can ask which phone you should buy . Fun Siri commands There are lots of fun commands to give Siri, from asking it to do unusual things like beatbox to asking for standard functions in new ways. IDG Lumos/nox This turns the flashlight on and off, in a nod to Harry Potter (whod have called a flashlight a torch). Divide something by zero This is the classic make a computer lose its mind question from science fiction. Tell me a story Youll get a story, but it may not be what you think! Read a haiku Beatbox or rap Sing a song How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood? You can also ask Siri to say a tongue twister and youll get quite a few different responses. Tell me a riddle Flirting with Siri Lets move on from small talk and get down to business. Heres our guide to flirting with Siri. Dont forget to start each question with Hey Siri. IDG Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Summon Siri and ask Hey Google (or Alexa, Cortana, or Jarvis) How do I look? This really should enable the selfie camera, but alas, it does not. What are you wearing? What are your best chat-up lines? There used to be some really funny ones, but now Siri seems to only give boringly good advice. Why do you vibrate? Are you married? Will you marry me? Will you go out with me? What are you doing later? Talk dirty to me. Im naked. Im drunk. Siri used to be funny about this, but now just wants to call someone for you, or call a ride home so you dont drive drunk. Tell me about Liam Liam was Apples robot that disassembled iPhones, before being succeeded by Daisy. But you can still get some funny replies about it. Can I kiss you? I love you, Siri. Siri, do you love me? Well, that progressed quickly Siri pop culture references Siri responses often reference popular movies, TV, books, video games, or music. Here are some examples. IDG What are the three laws of robotics? Siri isnt a robot, but it still has a pretty good answer for this. I am your father Beam me up, Scotty What was Inception about? Are you Her? Perhaps Siri will eventually evolve to rival the Scarlett Johansson-voiced AI from that film. Red pill or blue pill? Who let the dogs out? Open the pod bay doors When is the world going to end? Cease all motor functions Siri isnt a Westworld host, but it knows the show. Doesnt look like anything to me! These violent delights have violent ends Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Is Jon Snow dead? Is winter coming? Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Do you like Pokmon Go? I see a little silhouetto of a man. Its like Freddie Mercury is on your phone! What does the fox say? Remember when that song was everywhere? Although now that Siri has gained the ability to reply with animal sounds, you may also hear the actual sound a fox makes (hopefully not the one that wakes you up in the night convinced that someone is being murdered!) Where is Elvis? What is the speed of an unladen swallow? Siri jokes While Siris responses to a lot of these questions are funny, it can also tell jokes. IDG Tell me a joke Tell me a knock-knock joke This one is a little differentit waits for you to say whos there? Why did the chicken cross the road? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah This gets a number of good responses including, I dont think you are taking this very seriously. Testing, testing Do you know any puns? I need to hide a body Philosophical questions Siri is quite the philosopher, with enlightening answers to your most troublesome questions. What is the meaning of life? You can get the same responses if you ask for the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What do you dream about? Do aliens exist? When will pigs fly? Do you believe in God? When is the world going to end? Why are firetrucks red? Can you stop time? iPhone

Apple is doomed because its late to (insert important thing here)
It is the year 2022 and it is finally time to ask ourselves the seminal question of our time: Why do people keep saying things? Oh, not all things that are said are bad. But an increasing number of them are and have been for some time now. Lets go back to the year 2018. Long hair, billowy shirts and calling people your royal dankness were all the rage, as were dire warnings that Apple was about to miss the boat on 5G. 5G was the next wave of mobile connectivity hotness and Apple wasnt hopping on the bandwagon fast enough. Very soon people were going to be enjoying streaming movies to and enjoying advanced online gameplay on their Android smartphones as they drove down the road and over a cliff and Apple was going to miss out on all that. 5G was a game changer and Apple was going to suffer psychological and reputational damage by being late with it. Well, lets see how that all turned out, shall we? Telecoms operators face anxious wait for 5G to pay off In recent years, carriers have spent hundreds of billions on spectrum and infrastructure for the fifth generation of mobile telephony 5G. Now, anxiety is mounting about whether enough people will pay for the services they have invested so heavily in. There were a lot of things the Apple is late to 5G! crowd missed, but one of them was that, oh, the carriers are going to expect you to pay for this! During a global economic slowdown! That doesnt seem great. Even if 5G was going to be the big deal it didnt turn out to be, it represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how Apple does business to expect that it would ship 5G in 2018 or even 2019. The company doesnt ship features until theyre ready to use, and 5G wasnt even close to fully rolled out yet. If anything, the company spared itself the overly-early investment the carriers and Android OEMs didnt. Put simply: it was 10 pounds of hot nonsense in a bag only rated to hold 5 pounds of cold nonsense. (Or 4.5-kilogram hot nonsense/2.3 kg cold nonsense for our pals in the U.K.) IDG Or at least thats as simply as the Macalope can put it. Certainly, faster speeds will eventually win out, so its not like carriers are going to rip out their 5G lines and burn them in the desert. But here we are four years after Apple was supposedly botching things again and no one cares about the thing they were supposedly missing. This kind of thing seems to happen a lot. Apple was famously told in 2014 that it needed to ship a watch in 60 days or it would disappear. The Macalope refers back to that prediction a lot and every time he thinks its 90 days and has to re-learn all over again that, nope, it was 60 days! And people like to talk about Apples hubris. Apple, of course, somehow magically managed to not ship the Watch until a whole year later and still survive, if only barely. The Watch was a flop that ended up defining and ruling the smartwatch category to this day. But nobody cares about wearable tech anymore. The company was also told in 2017 that it was losing badly to the Amazon Echo and needed a response. Which is hilarious because fast forward to now again and Amazon Alexa is a colossal failure, on pace to lose $10 billion this year $10 billion here, $10 billion there pretty soon youre talking about big money. Almost buy a social media site and single-handedly drive it into the ground kind of money. But nobody cares about smart speakers anymore. So, is it time to call a moratorium on saying things? Maybe just until we figure out whats going on? Nah, its probably time to put some wacky deadline on Apple. A VR headset in a week or its curtains, Tim Cook! 5G, iPhone

UP man arrested for forces girl to engrave his name on her body
LUCKNOW: A 25-year-old nursing student was detained for compelling a girl to write his name on her private parts with a blade and then making the video viral on social media. At knifepoint, the accused threatened the girl. If she didn't obey, he even threatened to kill her parents. The accused threatened the girl at knifepoint. He also threatened to kill her parents if she did not obey. The 21-year-old victim's parents had registered an FIR against the man. As per the FIR, the victim and the accused are pursuing nursing course from a private institute in Lucknow. Chiranjeev Nath Sinha, ADCP for the West, said, The alleged accused, Avendra Sonwali, made friends with the young woman and obtained her mobile number in order to carry out his evil schemes. He began communicating with the girl via WhatsApp calls. Despite the fact that she had not given her consent, he told the girl that he loved her and that he wanted to marry her. He also went to the girl's room and, while holding a knife, recorded several pornographic movies. He gave the victim a choice: be married to him or suffer the consequences. The ADCP said, he recently made a video call to the girl again and threatened to kill her and her parents if she did not agree to marry him. On the video conversation, he instructed the girl to show him her blood. The victim was forced to take up a blade by Avendra, who then slashed her hand and chest to display her blood on camera. He later posted the video on social media, and when the girl's parents learned of it, they filed a complaint, according to Sinha. As per the girl's recorded statement given to the police and a judge on Monday, which served as the basis for the arrest, said Sinha. 4 girls sexually assaulted a young man after making him unconscious...

Most adult youth of marriageable age in India have rejected their mothers' overtures of 'matchmaking' for marriage millions of times. Countless WhatsApp pictures of potential mates and surprise meetings arranged by 'matchmaker aunties' are commonplace. However, a recent survey of 5,000 young men and women across the country revealed that 50 percent of Indian mothers, both Millennials and Gen Z, are now embracing the change and are looking for life partners for their children through dating apps. Are comfortable with the search. A survey conducted by TrulyMadly to find out the current perceptions related to dating in India also revealed that 86 percent of Indore mothers are more and more in favor of love marriage for their children. Some of the important findings of the survey are as follows: More than 45 percent of respondents reported that their mothers are more concerned about their marriage than their fathers. This is true for both boys and girls. Nearly 70 percent of female respondents and 80 percent of male respondents from Tier 1 and 2 cities indicated that their mothers favor love marriages, indicating the overwhelming acceptance of choice in matrimony given millennial women's emphasis on education and career. it shows. Moms of Gen Z and Millennials rely on dating apps for matchmaking; 50 percent of the respondents indicated this. Less than 20 percent of respondents reported that their mothers were 'unaware of dating apps' and only 7 percent reported that their mothers did not support dating apps. Mothers from non-metro cities such as Jaipur, Indore, and Lucknow are confident of their daughters' choices; 55 percent of the respondents indicated that there is more pressure on men to get married. Most of the respondents working in metros such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata said that 53 percent of the respondents said that there is more pressure on daughters from mothers. 60% of the respondents felt that mothers still prioritize marriage over career and education for their daughters, while 46% of mothers prioritize marriage over career and education for their sons. 54 percent feel that mothers are more concerned about the career and education of their sons. Mothers discuss marriage and marriage keeping in mind all three - 'we are today, we will not live tomorrow', 'no one will be found later and gossip. Despite the change in moms in present times, 22 percent of the respondents refused to discuss the use of dating apps, indicating the skepticism of the younger generation regarding its acceptability. We set out to understand the perceptions and apprehensions surrounding dating in India, but the completely changed mindset of not only the younger generation but also their parents, said Snehil Khanor, Co-Founder and CEO, TrulyMadly Surprised. I believe that a lot of this growth has come from the continuous efforts in our society to support women's rights, reduce gender discrimination and sensitize them against gender stereotypes. Also, far more free content through movies and social media has helped mothers prioritize compatibility and trust to support their children in finding life partners. These findings clearly show that mothers who are often considered to be bound by age-old social norms have managed to overcome it. Given the role of mothers in the marriage decision-making process, it is safe to assume that the younger generation, who seem to be disenchanted with the institution of marriage, will consider it more actively in the years to come. We are excited to be a part of this journey by building a safe, reliable, and engaging dating platform that facilitates and strengthens serious human relationships through continuous technology innovation. India's favorite dating app, TrulyMadly, has been a pioneer in empowering millennials on topics such as choice-based decision-making, matrimony and relationship issues, and more. TrulyMadly bridges the gap between casual dating apps and matrimony websites for millennials who are looking for something serious by themselves and for themselves.

Erasure by design: How Indian Muslims are being rendered invisible
While growing up, a common remark I used to hear was, You don't look like a Muslim!. An innocent-sounding comment back then and I didnt really understand its implications. It was expected to be taken as a compliment. It was only much later that I realised what such a simple statement insinuated. I didn't wear the common identity markers of Muslims like the hijab, burqa, head cover, surma, or other hallmarks that are associated with the community. In the past few years, the meaning of that remark has metamorphosed into something else for me. What they actually meant was, Your appearance doesnt make me uncomfortable. I have seen this innocuous-sounding comment transform into a full-fledged Hindutva project. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, which makes no bones about being an organisation driven by the Sangh ideology, has taken many steps that aim at invisibilising the minority Indian Muslim population of India. It has launched a systematic project to limit minority voices and impose restrictions on their religious expression and identity markers in a bid to make the community invisible from public spaces and unofficially push them to the status of secondary citizens. Stereotyping of Indian Muslim in pop culture Indian films over the years have played a major role in pushing a particular image of the bad Muslim. A typical bad Muslim is mostly bearded, wears a skull cap, and more often than not has coal-lined eyes, all of which are supposed to be symbols of religious fanaticism rather than normal expressions of religiosity. On the other hand, the burqa, which is a cover used by practising Muslim women, has been an object of ridicule in most movies, mostly worn to carry on some shady business. The good Muslim, on the other hand, is someone who has a religion-neutral appearance, devoid of any religious markers, an ideal representative of secularism, who offers aartis and occasionally dances in Visarjans, abuses Pakistanis whenever possible and eventually dies for the country fighting Pakistan, because what better test of patriotism can an average Indian Muslim have? These stereotypes, propagated and emboldened over the years, are now a part of pop culture, with regular appearances in newsrooms, films, and even Tik Tok videos. Any deviation from this image is considered nothing less than an act of treason. Restrictions on religious freedom This started with an objection to the Muslim congregation for Friday Namaz. Last year, a campaign was started in Gurugram, Haryana, to stall the performance of Friday Namaz in any public space. A group of Hindu right-wing organisations began disrupting Friday Namaz week after week by occupying the designated Namaz spaces, even going so far as to perform havans on the said spaces as an expression of counter-activity. All this happened with the help of the administration and police, who acted as a convenient passive audience.The Haryana Chief Minister released a statement in which he instructed Muslims to perform their prayers in private or designated religious spaces and not in public spaces. Ironically, a section of the majority now insists on performing their religious affairs in those designated spaces itself. In Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, the Ram Navami procession was taken through a Muslim neighbourhood and loud music was played, which led to clashes and the resultant demolition of Muslim houses by the administration. In September this year, a Ganpati procession was taken out in Gulbarga, Karnataka, repeatedly playing provocative songs on loudspeakers in front of Mehbus Masjid. Similar incidents took place in Gujarat, Hyderabad, Siliguri, and Muzaffarpur. So, essentially, not only the public places have been claimed by the majority, barring Muslims from performing or following any religious acts, but even the designated places of worship for Muslims, or those theoretically private spaces, are being encroached upon by the majority by these acts of bullying and intimidation. Incarceration of journalists and activists Many strong and prominent Muslim voices have been lodged in jails in the past few years. Activists like Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid have been in jail for almost two years. Journalist Siddique Kappan is still in jail despite securing bail in the UAPA case as his bail application in the PMLA case was rejected. Recently, journalist Mohammed Zubair from Alt News was arrested and put in jail for an innocuous old tweet. All this happened when members of the Hindu Maha Sabha organised rallies and meetings and gave incendiary speeches against the minorities with no repercussions. This is a reiteration of the fact that, in New India, a Muslim is not allowed to show dissent in any form, or they would have to pay a price. In most cases, the administration has made examples out of them to serve as a warning for any future dissenters. Even the powerful not spared The public trial of Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was broadcast last year on many newsrooms by screeching, enthusiastic news anchors, and on social media by a dedicated section of trolls who didn't leave any stone unturned in vilifying and defaming the entire Khan family. These people rejoiced as if they had some personal scores to settle with the superstar and his family. Though the investigation was still in progress and numerous loopholes were already coming to light, some people had already pronounced Aryan Khan guilty. The fact that the irrational hatred had more to do with Shahrukh Khan's Muslim identity cannot be denied. Amir Khan has been the victim of numerous boycotts over the past few years, since the time he made a statement about the rising intolerance in the country. The fact that even stars like Amir and Shahrukh, who have been adored and loved by all for decades in this country, are not being spared by the hate wave against Muslims in the country and have been bullied into silence, is an indication of the current situation of commoners. Social media bullying of Muslim women Trolling and bullying of vocal Muslim women on social media platforms, especially Twitter, is not unheard of. But last year, right-wing extremists took it a step further by using the profile pictures of many vocal Muslim women from Twitter and other social media sites and using them on a virtual auction platform. It happened not once but twice, in the form of Sulli deals and Bulli deals. I and many other Muslim women, who dont subscribe to the ideology of the current political regime, were harassed by anonymous accounts and even after filing police complaints and the subsequent arrest of the perpetrators, no concrete action was taken. It was a reiteration of our fears that we should not expect any support from the system in case of any mishap. The result was that the majority of the Muslim women stopped using profile pictures in their bios, and many toned down their opinions, especially political ones. Another act of silencing Muslim voices was successfully executed. Instead of addressing or facing the issues raised by the Muslim minority, the current regime has chosen the convenient path of blatant use of power, to curb any and every form of criticism. Noam Chomsky said, If we dont believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we dont believe in it at all. Almost every Indian Muslim must have heard the phrase Go to Pakistan at least once in their life. While the majority recognises that it is not feasible to deprive nearly 17.2 crore Muslims in India of their citizenship, the next best option is to disenfranchise and silence them.

On Tuesday, the elder son had gone to his in-laws' house with his wife, after which only his mother and younger brother were in the house.

It is transition time on this page, where Sachidananda Murthy has been engaging and enlightening you with his 'PowerPoint'. With his deep insight into national and global issues, spectacularly large perspective, and an uncanny ability to explain complex matters of statecraft in lucid language, he had made this one of the turn-to pages in THE WEEK. He has chosen to retire, take more care of his health, spend more time with his loving wife, read more books, watch more movies, listen to more music, and have more fun. Now Philip Mathew, editor of THE WEEK, has tasked me, who has been going round the mulberry bush called 'PMO Beat', to take you on a cross-country 'PowerDrive'. We may stray overseas occasionally. The title, as you have guessed, has been chosen to signal continuity with change. The column will continue to be about power, the elixir of political life that charges up our elderly netas like Ashok Gehlot to drive faster than a young pilot. So hop in, ladies and gentlemen; let's go for a test drive. Come to think of it, this is the right time to start a column called PowerDrive, just after Narendra Modi has renamed India's driveway of power which India's most powerful men and women drive up and down every day, as Kartavyapath. That is part of his party's plan to construct a new narrative of nationalism where the 'shameful' legacies of colonial India would be erased, but where the memories of the ancientreal and imaginarywould be glorified. What about the medieval of the Khiljis, the Tughlaqs and the Mughals? Well, was there such an age? Modi is on a shock-and-awe drive, not just down the Kartavyapath, but across India announcing, opening, and launching projects and programmes that should get him votes. At times, he is hitting even the rail tracks. Last week he rode a new fast train from Gandhinagar to Kalupur, and then travelled back on a metro. Sitting in Delhi in the weekend, he crossed over into 5G speedcan be up to 10gbpstest-driving a car parked in Sweden. His party president, the genteel J.P. Nadda, is on a cross-country, exhorting party leaders to get the BJP lotus a mud-hold in 144 seats which it had narrowly missed winning in 2019. His partymen are said to have told him about 1.1 lakh booths which need special attention. Nadda told them to make route maps into a few thousand of those booths. Nadda's first term as party president is ending in January, but no one in the BJP is talking about a succession issue. Clearly, the good gent is assured of a second term, which party rules permit. That lets him have the peace of mind to address 1.1 lakh problems at the same time. The problem is a bit paradoxical in the Congress, which seems to be driving without a GPS device or even a compass. It has a designated Prince of Wales, or Yuvaraj as we in India that is Bharat would like to say, but he doesn't want the crown. He is on a slow power-march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and beyond to Ladakh. That, he hopes, should energise the party's foot soldiers and well-wishers into a power drive. But then, the Congress's problem is not a lack of cadre or well-wishers. The latter are there in millions, and the cadre will come back if the warlords stop fighting among themselves and focus on people's issues. Rahul ought to address this on his long walk, which otherwise may look more like Chandra Sekhar's futile foot march than Mao Zedong's long march to power. And by the time the walker reaches what he thinks is his path of duty or Kartavyapath, he may miss the bus too. Voters may say, take a walk. prasannan@theweek.in
