Rajnath Singh ducks question on BJP’s CM candidate in UP Agency | Lucknow

Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Friday deflected a question about the BJP’s plan to project him as its chief ministerial candidate in next year’s assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh saying there was no dearth of deserving leaders in the party. “In any case, this is a hypothetical question. The party has several capable leaders who can fit the bill,” Singh told reporters on the sidelines of an event at Charbagh Railway Station in the state capital. Singh’s comment comes amid reports that he might be given a “key role” in the BJP’s campaign for the crucial Uttar Pradesh polls
although the party has not spelt out its plans to project anyone as its CM candidate. Posters put up by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of its party leaders in the state show Singh, who was the BJP chief minister from October 2000 to March 2002 when the saffron party was at the helm in UP, prominently – an indication perhaps of the role he would play in the
poll campaign. Speculations over the party’s decision about its probable chief ministerial nominee have gained momentum in the wake of BJP’s national executive committee meeting scheduled to take place in Allahabad on June 12. Prime Minister Narendra Modi would also be present on the occasion. State BJP chief Keshav Maurya tried to play down the is-

Singh has attended multiple rallies both alone and along with Modi and party chief Amit Shah, as well as independently, like his public meeting in Mau on Thursday. Sources in the state BJP are of the view that Singh would play a lead role in the campaign even if he is not projected as the CM candidate by the party.

‘Let the public decide whether they want to see the movie’: Bombay HC slams CBFC on Udta Punjab row
Agency | New Delhi Producers of Shahid Kapoor-starrer Udta Punjab agreed on Friday to delete a scene in which the lead character is shown urinating before a crowd after the Bombay high court insisted that it, as suggested by the censor board, must be removed. During the course of hearing, the judges said the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) should change its approach. The court also said the term ‘censor board’ was coined by the media and it was pleased to note that the CBFC does not mention and treat itself
as the censor board, but instead as the Board of Film Certification. The court was hearing a plea of the producers who have complained about lack of communication from the board about 13 cuts and the adult certification for the film by Anurag Kashyap’s Phantom Films and Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures. The division bench of justice SC Dharmadhikari and justice Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi adjourned the hearing and said it will pass an order on the other cuts suggested by the CBFC on Monday. “Everybody has a choice. Let people decide whether a
movie is good or bad … Hand over the remote to people – let them decide what to watch and when to switch off, whether it is television or cinema,” the judges said, adding, “If they (film producers) produce bad movies, they will suffer in the long run.” Movies do not attract crowd because of abusive language used in it, but because of the long lasting creative impact it creates, the judges said responding to the CBFC’s contentions that the filmmakers had not only used abusive and offensive language, but have also shown Punjab in a very bad light.

Punjab’s problem is not a film, but who is to tell it to the censors
The efforts by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) through the years to live up to its sobriquet “censor board” have never been as intense, or as ludicrous, as seen in its determination to trip up the film Udta Punjab on the ground that it defames Punjab by projecting the state’s drug problem. The review panel of the CBFC suggested many cuts, including the ridiculous proposition to remove references to Punjab in the title and in the dialogues, for the film to be eligible for certification. The producers of the film claimed that the report of the review panel was provided to them only after they approached the Bombay High Court. Just when Bollywood seems to be emerging from its cocoon of fantasy films to create works that reflect India’s current realities, the CBFC seems to be making a deliberate attempt to stall it. Chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani has got it all wrong about the mandate of the CBFC. He and the board seem unable to fathom that the CBFC has not been established to provide a moral compass to filmmakers or act as a political filter. It is not for the CBFC, a quasi-judicial body, to act as the government’s censor, as in the days of the Emergency. Films, like all works of art, try to speak the uncomfortable and inconvenient truth. That’s the morality of art and, Udta Punjab, appears to have tried to speak the truth, which appears to have upset the CBFC panel members. Udta Punjab is said to depict in stark manner the widespread problem of drugs in Punjab. Why should such a film become a target of the “censor” board unless some people want to hide this reality? The drug problem in Punjab, as evident in the ongoing investigative series in this newspaper, has many layers. It’s as much about politics as it is about law and justice. The Akali Dal, in office for a decade, has been defensive about it, providing the opposition Congress, which too is guilty of ignoring the problem when it was in power, and the Aam Aadmi Party, with ammunition to target the government. With the assembly elections a few months away, the Akalis seem to attack any discussion of Punjab’s drug problem as “a conspiracy to defame” the youth of the state. The BJP, an ally of the Akali Dal, appears a willing partner in this strategy. Nihalani, who has taken every opportunity to advertise his admiration for Prime Minister Modi and gratitude to the BJP, has been remarkably sounding like the Akali leadership on the issue. How much better it would have been, both for politics and policy, had the Akali Dal-BJP coalition welcomed the film, if not as the complete truth, as a timely and much needed wake-up call to a social problem that needs to be addressed urgently.

Te3n Movie Review
Agency | New Delhi
Te3n, based on the South Korean movie Montage (2013), offers you a powerhouse of acting talent led by the inimitable Amitabh Bachchan and giving him company are Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vidya Balan and Sabyasachi Chakraborty, the latter two in supporting roles. The expectations are no doubt high, but does the film deliver? Right at the onset, it is evident what the movie is all about. Eight years after his grand-daughter was kidnapped and died, an elderly and frail man John Biswas (Bachchan) is still seeking justice, though everyone around him, including his wheelchair-bound wife (Padmavati Rao), tells him to take it easy, with no result in sight. We are also at the very beginning introduced
to another key character, Father Martin (Siddiqui), who was a police officer investigating the kidnapping of Biswas’s grand-daughter, but has now become a priest. Despite almost no help forthcoming, Biswas’s quest for justice is relentless and he does everything he can to achieve that. Most of the first half concentrates on this. Then, a turn of events that plays a crucial role in unfurling the mystery that unravels in
the climax breaks out in the pre-interval. Another young boy, who is the grand-child of Manohar Sinha (Chakraborty) is kidnapped in circumstances almost similar to Biswas’s grand-daughter’s. This kidnapping brings Sarita Sarkar (Balan), a police officer, into the film as well as rekindle’s Father Martin’s interest in the investigation, something he had consciously stayed away from for a long time.
With Housefull 3 making new records at the box office despite mixed reviews, the makers of the franchise are keen to come up with another installment. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the comedy, which released on June 3, stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Nargis Fakhri. When asked about the possibility of Housefull 4, Nadiadwala told reporters last night, “It is a good franchise. Definitely we will be doing (Housefull 4) very soon.” On the occasion, Akshay said
the scripting of a possible Housefull 4 will take time, as it is not an easy subject to make. “We will sit and talk about it. It will take time. There was a gap of nearly four years between ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘3’. The script takes a lot of time. It is not an easy task to assemble everyone in one home, you need a strong reason for that,” he said. “So, it is not an easy subject, it is difficult to make. It will take one, one-and-half years to begin,” he added. The film, helmed by Sajid-Farhad, is the second movie of the director-duo with Akshay after It’s Entertainment.
Do Lafzon Ki Kahani Movie Review Agency | New Delhi A plodding, cliche-ridden melodrama in which misfortune after spirit-crushing misfortune is heaped upon the two protagonists, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is not quite the breeze that the title might suggest. Making its point with the means of just two words is simply beyond this film. It takes an eternity plus a few hours to reach its climax, by which time you just want the tortuous tearjerker to be banished from your sight. The stated runtime of Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is 127 minutes - a little over two hours - but it feels four hours long, if not more, so enervating and exasperating are its dramatic coincidences. To put it in one line, a brooding, unsmiling, reticent hero is brought out
of his shell by a visually challenged girl who yaks incessantly and is joviality personified. But the obstacles in their path are numerous and the man has to subject himself to much physical torture as a nowon, now-off boxer stalked by demons of the mind. By the end of it, leading man Randeep Hooda he is no mean actor and should have known better - is reduced to tears. And
so is the audience, but definitely not for the reasons that director Deepak Tijori would have had in mind. The film reduces even Randeep Hooda, a performer who can breathe life into the most comatose of scenes, to a bit of a sleepwalker. As for lead actress Kajal Aggarwal, let it not be said that she isn’t a pretty face. But that is pretty much all that there is to her in this film.

Excited that you all are talking about it: Kareena on pregnancy rumours Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has said she is ‘excited’ that people are talking about her pregnancy but added, “God willing hopefully. I am a woman. But right now there is nothing to say about it.” Rumours around Kareena’s rumoured pregnancy got stronger at a recent event where many felt she was trying to hide a possible baby bump. When asked if the news of her pregnancy was false, she said, “The fact that you all are talking about it is making me super excited.”

Artists, industry veterans to ‘Udta Punjab’s’ defence
Agency | Mumbai
Ahmedabad
Agency | Ludhiana The controversy over the release of ‘Udta Punjab’, a movie which reportedly highlights drug menace in Punjab, do not seem to end. With Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggesting major cuts and change in the title of ‘Udta Punjab’, filmmakers, literary and theatre personalities lent their support for the release of the movie. Tarlochan Singh, Punjabi actor and theatre ac-
tivist, who has enacted and written several plays on drug menace in the state, shared that it was not the first time that a movie was made on drug menace. There are number of short movies and documentaries already been made which vividly highlighted the issue of drugs and its social and cultural impact on Punjab. Now there seem to be two end to the controversy over the film’s release, first it is either po-
litically motivated move so that ruling dispensation in state do not get subjected to general public’s scrutiny and wrath or it is a publicity stunt to garner maximum popularity. Whatever be the case, there must not be censorship on the movie which highlights the drug menace in Punjab. A national-level uproar is evidence enough that if released, ‘Udta Punjab’ would bring about a positive change in addressing the menace of drugs in the state. SS Johal, eminent academician and former vice-chancellor, Punjabi University, said that it was a clear cut attempt at injuring creative pursuits of film makers and the CBFC’s move seems to be politically motivated.
As superstar Balakrishna is all set to celebrate his 56th birthday on Friday, his myriad fans are a frenzied lot with the release of the first look of his 100th film ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’ on Thursday.

Balakrisha carried the legacy of his father, legendary NTR for the last three decades with consummate ease and shared screen space with his father and stole the show with his performance as Abhimanyu in ‘Dana Veera Sura Karna’, despite NTR essaying four key roles in the mythological film. “He is the only actor among his contemporaries like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh who has acted in varied genres including folklore, mythology, history, social and family dramas to live up to the legacy of NTR. He also did a sci-fi entertainer ‘Aditya 369’ and a deglamourised role in ‘Bhairavadweepam’ to showcase his acting prowess,” says producer Prassana Kumar, who claims

Agency | Mumbai India is the “obvious candidate” to push global growth amid a lingering slowdown but it will need sustained GDP expansion to reach, by the middle of next decade, the share of world GDP that China had at the height of its boom in 2005, says an HSBC report. “If the West is not bouncing back to its former strength any time soon, where will growth come from? India is the obvious candidate,” HSBC economists said in a note. China as the economic engine has “begun to sputter” and India is the only other country with over a billion plus people and also grew “a tad faster” than its northern neighbour in the last year. The note made it clear that the country’s economy is not large enough to make up for a slowdown in mainland China but added that it holds great potential.
Government may relax FDI norms in brownfield pharma companies
Agency | New Delhi Government is considering a proposal to relax foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in existing pharmaceutical companies with a view to attracting more overseas inflows. According to a proposal of the Finance Ministry, FDI up to 49 per cent should be allowed through the automatic route and anything beyond through approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), sources said. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) and the Finance Ministry are discussing the proposal. Currently, FDI up to 100 per cent is permitted in new projects in the pharmaceutical sector, but in brownfield ones –the existing companies– the foreign investment is permitted through FIPB approval. DIPP has already commissioned a study to assess the impact of foreign direct investment in existing pharmaceutical companies amid concerns over mergers and acquisitions of domestic drug manufacturers. FDI in the sector is a contentious issue as concerns have been raised over some mergers and acquisitions of Indian pharma companies by foreign giants.
In a move which could have knocked Leander Paes out of Olympic reckoning, Rohan Bopanna today picked Saketh Myneni as his preferred partner for the men’s doubles event at the Rio Games, but the AITA is set to reject his demand. Bopanna, who earned India a direct entry in the men’s doubles event courtesy his top-10 rank, issued a statement that he has told AITA about his choice earlier in the day. “I look forward to representing India at my second Olympics and consider it a privilege, responsibility and honour. A Direct Acceptance provides me
the right to nominate my men’s doubles partner, an opportunity for me to exercise my judgement as to the best possible partner for me. I am looking forward to the support and good wishes of all concerned in the lead-up to the Olympics,” Bopanna said in a statement. He did not mention the name of the player but AITA sources told agency that
Bopanna has named 28-year-old Myneni as his choice. “Yes, he wants to play with Myneni and not Leander,” an AITA source said. Paes, a winner of 18 Grand Slam titles, is eyeing a record seventh Olympics, but Bopanna’s choice reflects that he does not bother about the personal milestone of India’s most accomplished tennis player.

Jonny Bairstow hits a ton at Lord’s to help Jonny Bairstow rode England recover from 84/4 to 279/6 on Day his luck to again rescue 1 of the third Test against Sri Lanka Agency | London
England from a top-order collapse with a century on the first day of the third Test against Sri Lanka at Lord’s on Thursday. At stumps, England were 279 for six, having been 84 for four when Bairstow (107 not out) came to the crease. It had been a similar story when Bairstow revived England from the depths of 83 for five in the first Test with a superb 140 on his Headingley home ground in a match England eventually won by an innings and 88 runs. Rather than scoring a maiden Test century at Lord’s, Bairstow
should have been out for 11 on Thursday when he clipped Nuwan Pradeep firmly off his pads straight to mid-wicket only for Shaminda Eranga to drop the catch. The Yorkshireman had another break when Eranga, selected despite having his action reported in England’sseries-clinching

To make sure that there is no inundation of the property, the builder has constructed the retention wall at his own cost, away from the land and given an undertaking in writing that he will not stake claim on the additional land or the wall.”
