Given the public outcry and mass mobilisation that we have seen over, at least, some high profile cases of sexual assault on women, it needs to be asked if the reaction to the Prajwal Revanna sexual crimes, including rape, case has been muted, socially and politically. Is it being seen more in the realm of a political exchange and less as what it should be – a case of multiple rapes and sexual assaults. Yes, no one is guilty till proven so in a court of law and politics is filled with wild allegations, but here there are videos and…

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has entered an intriguing stage where there’s just one spot left for the playoffs, with three teams competing. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants are the three sides who are still in contention, though the KL Rahul-led side is only mathematically in the race, with their Net Run Rate making it nearly impossible for them to go through. However, the opportunity is quite realistic for both CSK and RCB, who are set to square off on Saturday. The Super Kings, already sitting on 14 points, have a slightly better chance…

The actress has reacted to the incident in her latest Instagram post. She shared a clip from the event and she captioned it, “What happened at the event was uncalled for. No one should think it’s ok to throw something on stage, even if it’s a flower wrapped up in a paper plane. It sets the wrong precedent. It is unacceptable. There are times I get scared, not just for myself, but…
Spectacular and only sporadically exhilarating, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is, to be sure, not without its moments. But the moments that the film rustles up come and go without always being convincing in the way that they are staged or in the manner that they are placed within, and in relation to, the ‘flow’ of the saga.
