Komagata Maru Documentary

My brother Rob was hired to write and direct this production by Shushma Sardanna, whom he worked with early on at Rogers Cable. She and Ujal Dosangh managed to get government funding for the project. It was 75th anniversary of the incident, and a group of people got together to form the Komagata Maru Foundation to produce this video.

They did it in collaboration with BCTV, who aired it as a news feature. A shorter version was run on the CTV National News, and the program was broadcasted extensively in India.

The Patrika Auto Review: 2023 Kia Niro PHEV – New Second Generation

Shines!

Auto review by Veeno Dewan.

The Kia Niro series of five door hatchback compact CUVs is immensely popular in Canada , Best of all, in 2023 they come available in three electrified powertrains: all electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid electric (HEV). Full disclosure - my wife did buy a full

leI P n kr .

BEV Kia Niro in 2020 as our family car and it has done stellar service as our go -to transport, no issues with reliability, drivetrain, or quality we are happy to report- so I am a little biased!

The new 2023 Niro is larger than its predecessor, with a stylish exterior redesign and a more generous suite of safety features. The Niro has a sleeker look to it and more interesting visual elements. It is aerodynamic with a wind cheating drag coefficient

of 0.29. There are slimmer running lights, boomerang LED taillights and a rear skid plate garnish. Some models get the cool Aero blade rear panel on the rear side panels.

On the road the Kia PHEV offers enough power from the gas engine to tackle highway speeds with relative ease. Its small engine, so drivers should be aware it will not rocket like most Electric only EVS into passing manoeuvres. In town the PHEV steps up with easy drivability and jovial safe driving manners. Fully charged, the all-electric range of the PHEV is up to 55 km and then the transitions to the 1.6L gas engine is impressively seamlessness. There is a Drive Mode” button and the PHEV has a console button offering a choice of Auto, Hybrid, or EV power. Hybrid and the Sport mode lets drivers preserve battery charge for later use.

To sum up, there are advantages to the Kia Niro PHEV. It is ideal if you cannot spring for the pricier Kia EV, as the fuel economy and electric range is particularly good. There is compelling case for the PHEV if you do long-distance driving and suffer from range anxiety. Also note, the Kia PHEV is also eligible in B.C. for provincial and government green car rebates that sweetens the deal. The Niro’s full range of EV and hybrid alternatives is simply an excellent range of vehicle to consider and compelling value for money. Highly recommended.

Disha’s Ganga Aarti wear irks netizens

Disha Patani often gives her social media fans a glimpse of her shenanigans on the platform, whether it is regarding her films or fitness. The actress often makes her public appearances in sultry avatars, but recently, when some netizens spotted her attending the famous Ganga Aarti in Varanasi in a crop top and shawl, the video not only became viral, but many expressed their displeasure over her outfit choice for the ceremony. Some netizens on the platform lashed out at the Ek Villain Returns actress and posted their displeasure saying, “Poo bani Parvati (Poo became Parvati)”, which was a reference made to the popular dialogue from the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. “She looks good in full clothes”, one user wrote. “She looks so good in ethnic wear. She had so much potential to be a good-ranked movie star, but it was ruined”, added one of them, referring to her extensive lingerie promotions for a brand. On the work front, Disha is gearing up to feature alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna in Yodha. Besides that, the actress also has Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi drama Project K in her kitty, costarring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan.

Big B’s thoughts on Chat GPT

T op star Amitabh

Bachchan hasn’t caught the ChatGPT fever, yet. But, he may soon give it a try. In a recent round-up of his day, the superstar said that he spent his lazy Monday without any agenda or issues to ponder over. With no meeting to keep him distracted during the day, the 80- year-old shared his thoughts on American artificial intelligence (AI) research company OpenAI's chatbot that has been taking the world by storm. Bachchan wrote in his blog, “AI .. commandeth the World and as does the ChatGPT

app ., that , as we all know is the instrument that shall eradicate the human soon enough .. I wanted ChatGPT to write my DAY for me … but then that would be without heart and soul .. but some day I shall make an effort ..” He also talked about how infrequently he appears in public. He admitted, “The public appearances of course are restricted due to medical .. but generally there is apprehension .. what to say, how to conduct yourself .. what to wear .. how much to be involved.”

The Sholay actor had suffered an injury while in Hyderabad filming

Global star Priyanka Chopra, who is a quite big name in the west now, decided to explore Hollywood at the peak of her career in the Hindi film industry around 2011–2012. Recently, when she visited India for the promotion of her upcoming spy-thriller, Citadel, she reflected on a few questions she is often asked. She said, “People ask me all the time, why haven’t other people broken into Hollywood the way you have? I don't have the answer to that. All I know is that the one thing that I did, which maybe led to it, was that I didn’t carry my baggage. I come from India, and I’m a big star here, and I have an entourage of 20 people. I don’t do that there. I will give an audition. I have no qualms about walking into the room and showing people my work. I’m not afraid of the work. I don’t carry my ego or my pride.” She further added, “I’ve been a leading lady for a very long time, whether that’s in Hollywood or in Bollywood. It takes time to get there. It took me about eight years working in Hollywood to be able to do leading parts.”

his upcoming Nag Ashwin movie, Project K. The accident took place while shooting an action sequence for the film. The actor flew back to Mumbai and was resting at his residence.

P ataakha actress Radhika Madan spoke about how her upcoming show Saas Bahu aur Flamingo pushed her limits as an actor and gave her the creative freedom to experiment as an artist. She said that the show is all about giving a new dimension to a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship that has not been thought of before. She said, “Action has fascinated me ever since my first film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, wherein I tried my hand at the genre. It is an exhilarating experience to feel the adrenaline rush that comes with action and the world that Saas Bahu aur Flamingo creates.” She added, “Being a badass is more than just a state of mind; it means being totally unapologetic and uninhibited in all the choices in your life. I had a blast doing these

Mani Ratnam rejects the term ‘Bollywood’

Actress Alaya F made her acting debut with the 2020 film Jawaani Jaaneman. The actress, who is the daughter of Pooja Bedi, a former Hindi film actress and Farhan Furniturewala, claimed in a recent interview that while she did come from privilege, she does not count herself as a ‘fully nepo baby’. Alaya told one of the news channels, “I don’t count myself as a fully nepo baby, because you need to understand there are different levels to that. My mother was done with the industry; she had quit acting before I was born. I have not grown up among industry parties; that’s not been my life. So sometimes it does get frustrating because there are levels of nepotism.” She further added, “At the end of the day, I do come from privilege and that’s half of someone else’s journey. It does get me into rooms, but it doesn’t really guarantee me movies. But reaching there is the hardest part.

You may agree or disagree that I am a nepo baby, but it’s unfair to base everything I do on where I come from. I have tried so hard to do much more and continuously do good work.”

action sequences and being a part of this gutsy and authentic mad world. It has truly been an empowering experience.” Produced by Maddock Films, the series is directed by Homi Adajania and stars Dimple Kapadia, Radhika Madan, Angira Dhar, and Isha Talwar in pivotal roles. It is set to release May 5 on Disney+ Hotstar.

In the post-pandemic era, we can feel the undeclared competition between Bollywood (Hindi film industry from Mumbai) and other Hindi dubbed films from the South industries. While the true movie lovers enjoy content from all industries, some try to make it a tussle of egos. Recently, Ponniyin Selvan 2’s director Mani Ratnam raised an objection over the Hindi film industry calling itself Bollywood. While speaking at an entertainment summit, he expressed that the Hindi film industry should avoid using the term ‘Bollywood’ to describe itself as it is creating a problem in presenting the true identity of Indian cinema in front of the globe. The Dil Se director said, “If Hindi cinema can stop calling itself Bollywood, then people will stop identifying Indian cinema as Bollywood.” Even director Vetrimaaran agreed with it and said, “I’m not a fan of the ‘woods’ like Bollywood and Kollywood. We need to see it as Indian cinema on the whole.” On multiple occasions, films from the South Indian industry were termed ‘Bollywood’ films. One such instance happened when SS Rajamouli had to make it clear to an American journalist that RRRis not a ‘Bollywood’ film but a Telugu film.
