My piece on the Netflix film Baramulla and why it is one of the finest depictions of our story. Ghosts Of Baramulla: The Original Sin And Horror Of Denial. Do read ⁦@monalthaakar⁩ ⁦@AdityaSJambhale⁩ ⁦@AdityaDharFilmsswarajyamag.com/culture/ghosts…

YRF universe and adjacent universes. 🤣🤣 Yes, the Recreating sets and that too in Thailand is of top notch.



Their IndiGo managed to take off? One flight that shouldn’t have

BREAKING: Owners of Goa nightclub that killed 25 people have fled the country. Saurabh & Gaurav Luthra fled on an IndiGo flight to Phuket just hours after the tragedy hit headlines.



Sidhu himself is still in Congress?

Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu has been suspended from the Congress party with immediate effect.

That is not the point. It was officially banned in India till 2024!

I read Satanic Verses in mid 1990's. Of course it wasn't an original copy, because import of the book was banned. But one could freely read it, if wanted.



His book was banned in Congress ruled India. Modi’s India that he so disparages lifted the ban and now his book can be read in India. Islamists came for his head and finally got his eye. He has been living in fear ever since. But guess who he is ‘very worried’ about?

Novelist Salman Rushdie is "very worried" about growing Hindu nationalism and restrictions on free expression in Modi's India Speaking to Mishal Husain, he says he first saw the warning signs decades ago Subscribe to The Mishal Husain Show wherever you get your podcasts…



Congress will of course lose Punjab. To who is the question.

I fear I may be proved right - the massive infighting in Punjab congress, with no clarity on leadership - will cong lose in Punjab once again ?



Glad you watched Baramulla, Anupam ji. It has haunted me ever since I watched it. I spoke endlessly about it, wrote a review and yet I feel there is so much more I can say about the film. The entire team deserves a lot of love and respect for this. @AdityaSJambhale @monalthaakar

Watched Aditya Dhar’s and Aditya Suhas Jambhale’s #Baramulla last night. Couldn’t sleep for a long time. It is Haunting, deeply saddening (for me being a #KashmiriHindu) cinematically brilliant, and a vey very important film of our times! It being on @netflix_in will certainly…



Really happy with the love Akshaye Khanna is getting. I can’t wait to see Dhurandhar but this must be said. Akshaye was launched as a star. His journey to become an actor is entirely his own. It is not easy for an actor to become a star but we do have a few good examples of this…


😂.

PROPER 🦏 Dhurandhar is technically good cinema, but it is also pure, unadulterated, and unacceptable propaganda. You don't need to see the full 3.4-hour film to conclude that. I haven't. Now you have to hear me out before you go out to watch this piece of gratuitous gore wrapped…

Who gave 500 crores to whom? Although since this is Congress nothing should be surprising.

BREAKING: Show cause notice given to indigo CEO. Response must be given in the next 24 hours - deadline tomorrow night. Hope DGCA doesn't escape accountability.

Exactly

The indigo fiasco tells us another story. The only reason the airline had such a big market share is because air india did badly under government ownership and there were other airlines that were milked dry by dubious partners. What is needed is a clear civil aviation policy that…

BREAKING: CAP ON AIR TICKETS NOTIFIED. Passengers take note. Don't pay any price above these levels indicated by Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Of course. I am not for a minute suggesting Govt takeover or any such harebrained idea. But regulation and oversight is an important feature of free economy. Encouraging Competition keeps free market free. And I am saying this irrespective of this fiasco that any company with 65…

such mess is more regular in developed countries. The moral is - such things periodically happen in free economies. Even with that, a free economy is better than a controlled one. 2/2



Even if monopoly is ‘fairly earned’ it must be broken. This is irrespective of the fiasco that Indigo has on purpose created.

Its because many players perished due to their own management problems. EastWest,Damania,NEPC,Modiluft dead by 1998. Sahara dead in 2006, Deccan in 2007 MDLR 2009. Kingfisher 2012,Jet 2018, GoAir 2024.Their promoters screwed them. Indigo is a survivor due to op efficiency.

No one company should ever have 65 percent of the market share ever. That is the only lesson to be learnt from this major fiasco. #Indigo
