Naidu attempts to shield aqua farmers after Trump’s tariff hits the shrimp farming sector in Andhra Pradesh, leading to the cancellation of 50% of the state's exports.
Company builds microsatellites that are smaller, faster, cheaper to produce. ICEYE will develop & launch micro-satellites, hand them over to India, which will have full control & sovereignty.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
ideally it is the responsibility of the state to ensure that people go about their life and business without fear. but as is usual with developing countries [brazil-favela] the gangsters ruled the old bombay of 90’s. I wonder if these events of babri demolition-mumbai riots had not taken place……….the present day mumbai would still have been ruled by gangs……in india things happen [unplanned] in such a way by itself…………
ideally it is the responsibility of the state to have a system where everybody can go about their life and business without any fear. but the conditions in old bombay emerged as is usual in developing countries [brazil favella] that gangsters were ruling bombay. I wonder if this episode of babri demolitions and riots and bombay blast had not taken place….maybe these gangsters may have been still intimidating people[to this day]…….somethings in india happen in such a way [which no body plans] …
The film industry was not hob nobbing with underworld any more than police and political class. Those were times when film folks saw that and understood that they have no choice. Top cops always received calls from underworld and also cracked deals to stage encounters so that common man can read in press that system is working. Maya Dolas killing is the prime example. The critic of press in Sanju clearly spotlights the yellow journalism who get eyeballs with phrases like question mark, alleged and sources. All press is not same and all film people are not the same either. Film people have always supported social causes and garnered donations of crores of rupees. Your article, I am afraid, is not balanced. And yes what about Cobrapost? Why so quiet on that?
…..who Dutt “is said” to have called six times…
Was this proved in the court or not or it’s just another sources story by arm chair Journos. Mr Dutt has done his time in the prison and is a free man to tell his side of the story.
It is a bit rich coming from Shekhar Gupta when he did nothing about the Cobrapost expose which captured how partisan and mercenary the media is! When you don’t do you job as the 4th estate, why do you suddenly want only the movie industry to do so? Will you guys in the media not do a full witch hunt against any movie personality who will speak the truth about the current government?
Good Article but wishful thinking. Also like most businesses the prime aim of Movies is making money. The questioning of the establishment is fine but making Political statements via movies is also a distortion of entertainment’s main purpose. It would be like enforcing your views on the audience. Also asking tough questions is the Job of a journalist, not an actor. It is easy to be tough when you have nothing to lose. Why do we want everyone to be an activist?
A childhood memory – which explains part of the diffidence this column notes – from growing up in Bombay. We would discuss how much the top stars charged per film, neatly broken up into ” black ” and ” white “.

You have forgotten Prakash Raj who has been a strong critic of present government.

Hema Malini, Smriti Irani and Raj Babbar are the establishment. They are not the lone voices raised against power. You need to wake up mate!
Who is this duck????
