The divide between the real world and the strategy to be adopted in the healthy longevity initiative is too wide to be ignored

Revenue from operations declined by 7.5% to ₹17,260 crore due to Red Sea crisis, while operational and cost efficiencies provided some positive support, the carmaker said in a statement

Maharashtra’s traditionally bipolar party system was torn apart during the 2014 Assembly elections when the four major parties contested independently. This division has led to confusion and cynicism within the electorate due to perceived opportunism and erosion of ideological commitments

Cinema screens bring in over 60% of the Rs 19,100 crore that Indian films earned in 2019.The reception a film gets in theatres impacts the price of every other revenue stream -- TV, OTT, overseas.Vanita Kohli-Khandekar explains why the theatre business is not doomed and why OTT won't become the first window of release.

'Where are the funny writers on Indian television and OTT platforms?''Where are the sitcoms?' asks Vanita Kohli Khandekar.

The Rs 19,100 crore 'Indian film industry' is more than its monikers for three simple reasons, feels Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.

The film didn't offer the unfettered entertainment which everyone sought -- it was out-and-out a docu-drama, not a masala movie, notes Sandeep Goyal.

The failure of Decoupled is that, as it deals almost solely in 'snapshots of insight', it fails to showcase how life flows, how the world goes round, how things unfold, feels Rohit Sathish Nair.

Gehraiyaan seems to be aurally thin, which serves as a clue to the larger issues plaguing the movie, observes Rohit Sathish Nair.

What did Alia have that Ranbir's previous girlfriends did not? Mom Neetu Kapoor's blessings, observes Subhash K Jha.

I have heard cynics say that Priyanka Chopra Jonas as we know her today is the creation of a PR machinery, but that is rather a poor reading of a determined woman and the work she has done to get to where she is.Aseem Chhabra salutes the movie star on her 40th birthday on July 18.

Nobody else needs to boycott Bollywood, they are doing a pretty good job of digging up their own foundation, notes Deepa Gahlot.

Long before she won royalty rights for playback singers, there was an undisclosed incident in Lataji's life where she not only put a male colleague in place, but also refused to sing with him thereafter.

Shah Rukh had outgrown the roles that made him a star -- the menacing, obsessive lover in Darr, the regular guy in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na or the new age boyfriend in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.By the time he entered his 50s, he was struggling to find his feet, explains Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.

Kindness and compassion is all you need to survive and build your life. And that is what makes 2018's Kerala story so relevant, notes Divya Nair.

'Cinema or the sentiment of a people, disgusted by contemporary politics and wanting to feel whole by collectively recalling a moment of great difficulty that was also a cause for togetherness?', asks Shyam G Menon.

At the Leo fete, Vijay had this also to tell his fans: 'I know you all are in my heart. But today, I also know that I am also in the hearts of all of you...'A typical politician's line, did you say, asks N Sathiya Moorthy.

While the country is gripped by Ram Mandir frenzy, Danish Husain -- without shouting from the rooftops -- silently staged his opinion with this play on one of India's best-known poets, observes Neeta Kolhatkar.

What follows is essentially a long scene set in a single location, and you watch in amazement as the scene grows into one of Indian cinema's funniest and most spectacular pieces of sustained craftsmanship, accumulating emotional power and subtext, growing wings and claws, becoming its own beast, applauds Sreehari Nair.

'Everyone knows the money the stars are asking for is absurd.'

They try to hide behind the smokescreen that these are works of fiction inspired by real events.So, you can pick and choose from facts and fictionalise to push the right triggers with your audience or appease the powers that be, observes Shekhar Gupta.
