Five State elections: Modi may prove to be lucky Except for the Bharatiya Janata Party`s (BJP) success in Assam last year, Modi`s appeal as the “vikas purush” or the man of development hasn`t worked anywhere else up till now. In 2015, the BJP was badly trounced by a fledgling party in Delhi and comprehensively beaten by a motley coalition in Bihar. Its sole success in the following year in Assam -- accompanied by defeats in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry -- was over an aging Chief Minister and his tired Congress party. There was little doubt at that stage that the wind of popular expectations which swept Modi to power at the Centre had dissipated. His indifferent performances might have continued this year, too, if providence had not intervened in the form of undermining the chances of the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh. As it is, the SP would have faced the anti-incumbency factor because its stint in power hasn`t been as much of a success story as its personable Chief Minister, Akhilesh Yadav, will like everyone to believe. But the party`s breaking into two with Akhilesh on one side and his father, Mulayam Singh Yadav, on the other cannot but ensure a much easier ride for the BJP to power than before. Luck, therefore, seems to have turned for Modi in the new year. Even if the findings of an opinion poll which gives a majority to the BJP in the 403-member Uttar Pradesh assembly are ignored, the fact is undeniable that an SP at war with itself can hardly be expected to win, let alone put up a stiff fight, irrespective of how much Akhilesh is liked by the younger generation because of his progrowth and non-casteist approach to politics. Considering that the worst of the demonetisation process is over with the banks no longer as crowded as before, it is possible that Modi`s developmental pitch will work once again as it did in 2014 when the BJP won 71 of the 80 parliamentary seats in the state and its ally, the Apna Dal, two. A victory in Uttar Pradesh is likely to be regarded by the BJP as a favourable omen for 2019. If the party also comes out on top in Uttarakhand and Goa, as the opinion poll says, then the BJP may well believe that it is on the way to consolidating its position on a wider basis. However, if the bad spell which clouded the party`s fortunes in 2015 and 2016 has ended, it has less to do with Modi than with the fortuitous presence for the BJP of a fractured opposition. There are several reasons why the latter has failed to get its act together. One is that there is no inspirational leader with ideas about an economic road map for the country and about ways to address problems such as endemic corruption, violence against women and the continuance of reservations which bolsters the caste system. As the alternate pole at the national level, the Congress still reposes its faith in the Nehru-Gandhi family. But as Rahul Gandhi`s occasional disappearing acts suggest -- he is away in London at present -- he is not an inveterate political animal. Instead, he is something of a bit player who struts and frets for a while on the stage and then vanishes from sight. However, if the Congress wrests power from the Akali-BJP combine in Punjab, as is likely, it will be Rahul who will be credited with the good showing, and not former Chief Minister Amrinder Singh, with the result that he may well be crowned at last with the post of the Congress president.

Why are Akshay Kumar, Dangal girls Bollywood celebs wish ‘amazing list? dancer’ Hrithik Roshan on birthday missing from Filmfare nominees that though Aamir Khan’s Agency | New Delhi
It was circa 2000 when the Bollywood box office was ruled by the Khans. But there was a certain section, who was done and dusted with the trio and was desperately waiting for a new face. It looked like papa Rakesh Roshan heard them, and a star was born — Hrithik Roshan. After his blockbuster debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Roshan Junior proved why he was the one who could take over Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, in every department of the business. Hrithik has been instrumental in giving us several blockbusters, leaving his producers minting money at the box office. Not just that, he can still make women go weak in their knees. From being a college crush for girls to a fitness inspiration for the guys, Hrithik has won every heart. The year 2016 was stormy for this Bollywood hunk but he is set to bounce back with his upcoming film Kaabil, which looks to resurrect his position at the theatres again. Blame it on his looks, dancing skills or acting prowess, Hrithik is a complete package.
Bairavaa, Puriyaadha Puthir: Pongal will see multiple Tamil film releases
(H.S.) | New Delhi The year of 2016 was a roller-coaster ride for the audiences as well as the filmmakers. While we saw the heart-wrenching stories like Pink and Udta Punjab, we were also entertained by Kapoor & Sons and Housefull 3. After such performances, a reward to them is not a bad idea. Usually, when we think of an award show or an award, we know it is considered to
be a form of appreciation. However, with the nominations of an upcoming award show have left us nothing but shocked and disappointed. Irrespective of his marvellous performance in three films – Airlift, Rustom and Housefull 3, this year, Akshay Kumar has not even bagged nominations at the upcoming 62nd Jio Filmfare Awards 2017, and what’s even more shocking is the fact
film has been recognised under many categories, there is not even a mention of the debutants, Fatima Sana Shaikh or Sanya Malhotra, under the debut section or supporting role section. To add to it, while Rajkummar Rao has been nominated in best supporting role category, Manoj Bajpayee, the driving force of the film, has not bagged any nomination. So, while we are talking about it. As a layman, it seriously makes us want to question the integrity of these awards. Now, some might even argue that the stars we have named here, they do not require this kind of promotions but then why is even Aamir in the category or Shah Rukh Khan?

ly gave a nod to Ok Jaanu as they felt that it was a different kind of a love story. While Aashiqui 2 was quite intense, Ok Jaanu seems breezy and light-hearted. As a result, the actors reveal that they didn’t have to try very hard at differentiating the characters.

The New Year in Tamil Nadu actually begins in the middle of January – at the time of the Pongal, a festival when the rice crop is harvested and ceremoniously boiled in earthen pots. Tamil film producers use the few days of holiday during Pongal as an excellent opportunity to theatrically release their movies. This year, the festival falls on January 14, a Saturday, and several Tamil films are opening that weekend – hoping against hope to attract as many footfalls as possible. But like an election where too many candidates in a single constituency can spoil the broth
by splitting votes, it is quite likely that cinema audiences will also be divided in their loyalties. And, in a state like Tamil Nadu where actors are not just looked upon as stars but also demigods – and worshipped – movies with big names will exude such a magnetic appeal that others may well be left behind.
This week’s biggest blockbuster will be the Vijay-starrer, Bairavaa – which is to open on January12. That is if all goes well. Tamil Nadu has a history of moving courts to stall film releases. And Vijay has been an unfortunate victim of this. Bairavaa will have Keerthi Suresh playing heroine to Vijay.

On a manic day for the seeded players, the 19-year-old Kasatkina won 7-6(5) 6-2 against two-time grand slam winner Kerber, who also in the quarter-finals in Brisbane last week. “It’s difficult to explain really. I beat the number one in the world and it doesn’t happen every day,” Kasatkina, ranked 26 in the world, said in a courtside interview. “I think I will get some confidence,” she said referring to the year’s first grand slam, starting on Monday in Melbourne, where Kerber would defend her women’s title. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova earlier won an all-Russian battle against Svetlana Kuznetsova to oust the defending champion in straight sets. Pavlyuchenkova beat world number nine Kuznetsova 7-5 6-3 to set up a quarter-final clash against Canadian Eugenie Bouchard who caused another upset by defeating number three

Ninth seed Italian Robert Vinci also fell to Czech Barbora Strycova 6-2 6-3 but former world number one Caroline Wozniacki bucked the trend with a 6-0 7-5 win over Kazakh Yulia Putintseva. Pavlyuchenkova came into the match having lost five of the last six meetings against Kuznetsova and twice fell back in the opening set. The 31-year-old double grand slam winner was serving for the set at 5-4 before Pavlyuchenkova reeled off the last three games to bag the set. “I’m really happy, especially because she’s not only defending champion but my fellow (countrywoman) and she’s top 10 and she’s had a really incredible year last year,” Pavlyuchenkova said. “I think I did everything well.
