He asked the central government to order a judicial probe into the encounter in which two suspected terrorists and a police officer were killed. “Batla House encounter was fake.

The hits and misses in Modi’s 6-hour ‘Ek Nayi Subah’ show
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his own understated way, decided that he should highlight his and his government’s achievements by organizing a 6-hour-long celebration called ‘Ek Nayi Subah’ on the India Gate lawns. Instead of comedians and musicians, we had actors and ministers. And much like the Queen, the guest of honour Modi entered the sets five hours twenty-four minutes later, at 10.24pm, when it was literally close to being ek nayi subah. I watched the entire show diligently on Doordarshan, other than for five minutes when Tata Sky decided to give me some shut-eye thanks to the rains. It’s exactly in those five minutes that actress Kajol seems to have appeared and vanished. And no, she didn’t speak of her husband’s name appearing in the Panama Papers. Now, to be fair, there were some moments which pleased me greatly about the show, which I will get to chronologically. Let’s start from the very beginning. A fancy AC set was built on the lawns with around 50 people seated in it. Now the problem with DD, as I’ve realised over many hours of watching television is that, come what may, come who may, for some reason any and every show on DD takes on a soporific and preachy air. Despite the formerly angry young man and current politician for any party in power, Amitabh Bachchan, kicking off the show, nothing could save the dull sanctimony of tone. Bachchan as we all know is brand ambassador of the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ government initiative. The gala was hosted by actor R. Madhavan and one of the DD news readers. Madhavan praised Big B, Big B looked embarrassed, then Big B told us about the initiative and finally took questions from a group of young girls from Aarohan Sanstha, an NGO. Bachchan has a very easy manner with children, immediately putting them at ease. And it was nice to see his camaraderie with them, which made you almost forget that here was a man who had been part of the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and now seemed to be the brand ambassador for all initiatives Modi. And was also a nameplace holder in the Panama Papers. Now here is what I appreciated about the programme. When a celebrity of Bachchan’s stature stands on a national platform and tells people to educate their daughters and to treat them as equal to their sons, it makes far more of an impact than any moral science lesson or Mann Ki Baat. So if watching this show ends up in improving the lives of even 10 girls, that’s a silver lining. I did feel that the entire conversation being in Hindi cuts out massive swathes of audiences who aren’t totally comfortable with the language.

Dishoom poster: John Abraham and Varun Dhawan are cops with swag Agency | New Delhi
Mondays are never a favourite with anyone, but Kabir and Junaid are an exception. The two protagonists in Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom walk into work on a Monday morning with quite a swag. Don’t believe us. See the first poster of John Abraham and Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film Dishoom. Varun, who has collaborated with John for the first time in brother Rohit Dhawan’s film, took to Twitter to share the poster of the film. The Badlapur actor, who plays Junaid in the film, is seen walking in style with his cop buddy Kabir, played by John.

Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt have been friends for over two-and-a-half decade now. But sadly, things seem to have turned sour between them. The latest buzz suggests that Sallu Mian and Sanju Baba no longer share the same bond and have apparently drifted apart. originally attributed to an entertainment portal, things turned sour after Sanjay sacked a manager suggested by Salman. After Baba’s release from the Yerwada jail earlier this year, Salman had asked Sanjay to hire his manager to get
good work. But Sanjay apparently found that the manager was quoting a very big amount to the producers and hence the ‘Munna Bhai’ actor decided to sack him. This reportedly irked Salman. Besides this, a number of other instances are being speculated to be the cause of trouble in their friendship. Salman and Sanjay have worked in a number of films together. They have even co-hosted ‘Bigg Boss’ once. Hope the two Bollywood giants mend their fences to reconcile. We are sure their fans would want to see them together again.

able to meet Ranveer in Paris. While Deepika returned to India over the weekend, Ranveer is still in Paris. Says a source, “Deepika’s visit was a hush-hush one as she didn’t want anyone back home to know about her visit. Unfortunately for her, some fans spotted her in Paris. She even spent time on the Befikre sets, where the cast and crew were
given strict instructions not to click any pictures of her. The actress has a lot of work piled up, including her brand endorsements and script readings in Mumbai, so perhaps that is why she didn’t want it known that she had taken a few days off for a holiday.” Adds the source, “Deepika is a committed, professional actress, but she’s also a young girl in love. Ranveer and she haven’t met for months because of their respective film shoots, which are across two different continents. It’s natural that she would want to spend time with her beau before she gets crazy busy in India again.”

Among other things in the video titled ‘Sachin v/s Lata Civil War’, Bhat
suggests why the 86-year old Lata is still ‘alive’ and debates who the better player between Tendulkar and Kohli is. On his part, Bhat retorted: “LoL, Twitter, jaha pe logo ke marne se pehle unke marne ki khabar trend hoti hai, ‘tastleless’ aur ‘crass’ jaise words use kar rahi hai.” “When you guys write about me tomorrow, can you please use my snapchat ID it’s thetanmay thanks,” he said.

Star India launched Star Utsav Movies, India’s first ‘Truly Rural’ Hindi Movies Channel on 28 th May
Agency | Mumbai India’s biggest broadcaster, Star India, has launched its much awaited free to air (FTA) Hindi Movies channel, Star Utsav Movies, which will be an exclusive offering for the Rural Market. Hemal Jhaveri, General Manager - Star Gold, Movies OK, Star GOLD HD and Star Utsav Movies said, “We are excited to announce the launch of Star Utsav Movies, India’s first ‘Truly Rural’ Hindi
movie channel. With the advent of BARC, rural markets took the center stage with more than half of the TV viewership coming from the heartland. Our analysis indicated that there was a clear need gap in this category since 25% of the total viewership came from movies, but the Hindi movie genre share is a miniscule 5 %. This is because of the non-availability of good content from the existing hindi movie channels in the FTA space. An extensive research study undertaken to unravel the rural psyche shed light on the key usage and behavior patterns which has been the cornerstone for all acquisition, programming and marketing inputs on this new channel offering.

Murali’s ‘Just Calm Down’ Advice Did Wonders for SRH in IPL Final Agency | Bengaluru Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) bowling coach Muttiah Muralitharan told his bowlers to keep calm when they were being hammered all over the park during the onslaught from Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final on Sunday. SRH won their maiden IPL title after they beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 runs. In an interview with iplt20.com, the legendary Sri Lankan bowler told what strategy the team had adopted and what advice he gave to the team while they were defending the 209-run target. When asked what advice he gave to his troops while Gayle was looking at his blistering best, Murali said, “Just calm down. They are hitting hard; we needed to
get two people out and then the (required) run rate will increase. That is what happened. It was our day and we had to win the match.” “A score in excess of 200 runs is always a very good total. But we knew that they have three dangerous batsmen; we had to get them. We have the bowlers and Mustafizur (Rahman) and Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) were fantastic, as well as the other bowlers. If Chris Gayle and Virat
get going, it is always very hard. But our batsman had put up a good total to defend,” he added. SRH made it to the playoffs, finishing third in the points table with 16 points and then won the next three matches Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and Final to lift the title. When asked what was the key to win three consecutive knock-out matches, Murali said it was all about playing the game up to the potential.

Quashing the comparison, the 24-year-old Australian leggie insisted that there could only be one strong and big player like Warne. “There’s only one
Shane Warne and there’s probably only ever going to be one guy like him who can bowl as many strong leg breaks all day for five days straight. It’s pretty unheard of,” Zampa was quoted as saying by agency. Zampa further described Warne as `unbelievable` and admitted he still has a long way to go to reach the legend’s level. “It’s something to strive towards, but I’m a long way off that. My run up is similar but that’s about it,” he said. Zampa will now play in the ODI tri-series against the West Indies and South Africa, starting from June 3 in Guyana.

Adam Zampa says no to comparison with Shane Warne
Agency | West Yorkshire Some fast bowlers who pounce on almost every team’s batsmen. When England dropped Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard before the New Zealand series of 2008, many predicted the end of an era in England’s cricket. These two bowlers formed a successful pair together and were replaced by James Anderson and Stuart Broad. In the present times, Anderson and Broad have formed a lethal bowling pair for their nation and are very effective in conditions conducive for
swing bowling (and that is an understatement). Individually, Anderson, being senior to Broad, has taken more wickets, but it is his swing bowling which makes him unplayable for teams touring England. The 33-year-old Lancastrian has been a phenomenal performer for his side, especially in whites. His ability to swing the ball both ways and obtain snicks from established batsmen bat is commendable to say the least. He bowls with pace and pitches the ball
in the zone with alarming regularity, making it almost impossible to leave the ball alone without a shred of doubt. That is where Anderson stands out: he creates enough doubt in batsmen on whether whether to play the ball or leave it. Consider India’s England tour of 2007, where he troubled Indian batsmen in all Tests, on flat pitches or otherwise; he finished with 14 wickets in the series and was awarded the Man of the Series.
Lewis Hamilton ends race drought in Monaco’s rain

Grand Prix. Despondent Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo started from pole position and finished second _ after a blunder from his team which failed to have his tires ready and Mexican driver Sergio Perez was third for Force India.
Hamilton’s victory was even sweeter because he closed the gap on championship leader Nico Rosberg, his teammate, who finished a lowly seventh after obeying orders to let Hamilton pass early on. Hamilton’s mood was in stark contrast to Saturday evening when after qualifying in third place he wrote off his chances of victory on a track so difficult to overtake on. “I went to have a beer with some friends,” Hamilton said, explaining how he snapped out of his torpor.

The first challenge was to get things back on track. To clear the backlog, we introduced Gatisheel Gujarat for time-bound implementation of government

Sodhi was asked to pay Rs 25 crore or else face consequences,” city crime branch’s Assistant Commissioner of Police, K N Patel said. “Since we are already probing few other cases related to extortion calls claimed to be made by Ravi Pujari gang, the

Using some softwares, one can convert the local number into an international number. We are now probing the case from different angles,” Patel added.

Six night shelters shut in Ahmedabad, others in deplorable condition

Six of the 44 ‘rain baseras’ or night shelters in the city have been closed down in one year and the rest were running below 50 per cent of their capacity — some even without basic facilities like power supply. The night shelters have been closed in Jamalpur, Juna Vadaj, Behrampura, Gota, Naroda and Saraspur wards of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. According to the civic body, fewer people now come to rain baseras, which makes it
difficult to manage expenses to run these shelters. On the other hand, NGOs that manage these shelters cite “administrative problems” for the closure and the poor condition of rain baseras. “A caretaker gets around Rs 5,000 per month to manage a rain basera. Other expenses include electricity bill, cleanliness and maintenance. If there are not enough people, it is difficult to bear the expenses since we charge only Rs 20 per person per day,” said Gangesh Sharma, assistant engineer,
Housing and Slum Networking Project, AMC. The authorities claimed that it was the first time that night shelters have been closed for want of people using the facility. Most people who use the facility are migrant construction labourers. When asked why fewer people put up at these shelters, the reasons cited by caretakers and users varied. “Married couples or families do not prefer to sleep here
