Is Vicky Kaushal's Epic a Roar or a Missed Opportunity? | Chhaava Public Review

The public review of Chhaava is out and the reactions are mixed but generally positive. Audiences praised Vicky Kaushal’s powerful portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with standout performances from Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb and Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai. While the second half, especially the last 20 minutes, received strong praise for its emotional depth, the first half was seen as slow. Some felt the background score didn’t fit the era, and there were calls for more depth in the story`s betrayal and conspiracy elements. Overall, the film is recommended for its dramatic storytelling and patriotic fervor. ... [Read More]

PM Modi’s US Visit: PM Modi reacts to the issue of Indian ‘illegal immigrants’

PM Modi’s US Visit: PM Modi reacts to the issue of Indian ‘illegal immigrants’

While US prepares to deport 2nd batch of illegal immigrants to India, on the illegal immigration issue, PM Narendra Modi said, "...Those who stay in other countries illegally do not have any legal right to be there. As far as India and the US are concerned, we have always said that those who are verified and are truly the citizens of India - if they live in the US illegally, India is ready to take them back. But it doesn`t stop just there for us. These are people from ordinary families. They are shown big dreams and most of them are such who are misled and brought here. So, we should attack this entire system of human trafficking. Together, it should be the effort of the US and India to destroy such an ecosystem from its roots so that human trafficking ends...Our bigger fight is against that entire ecosystem and we are confident that President Trump will fully cooperate with India in finishing this ecosystem."...
