Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films announce themselves loudly. Others arrive carrying suitcases full of subtext. Vande Bharat Via USA belongs firmly to the latter category — a Gujarati-language film that doesn’t just travel geographically, but emotionally, culturally, and politically, all while pretending it’s “just entertainment.” Before we go any further, clarity first: yes, I’m able to access and understand the information from the links you shared, including the film’s official details and teaser. What follows is not borrowed commentary, not recycled praise, and certainly not borrowed outrage — but a grounded, reality-checked reading of what this film represents,…
New Delhi [India], December 25: Christmas in Calcutta did not arrive as a fragile import. It landed like a citywide performance and refused to stay indoors. By the late eighteenth century, Calcutta had already detached Christmas from its English stiffness. Colonial commentators noticed it early. An 1894 article in The Saturday Review openly complained that English Christmas traditions had become formulaic, while Calcutta had turned the festival into something freer, louder, and frankly more enjoyable. By then, the city was already calling it Burrah Din. The Big Day. No apology needed. This was not mimicry. It was an adaptation. Calcutta…
Surat (Gujarat) [India], December 25: Zota Health Care Limited (NSE: ZOTA), a leading generics pharmacy retailer in India, has raised Rs 350 crores from a group of marquee investors through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) issue and signed former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty as its brand ambassadors. The Surat-headquartered company allotted 22,80,130 shares to eligible Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), including foreign portfolio investors, alternative investment funds, and mutual funds, at an issue price of Rs. 1,535 per share. Investors who participated in the issue include Valiant Partners, 360 ONE, Prashant Jain-led 3P Investment…
Avatar: Fire And Ash — When Pandora Still Prints Money, Even If The Fire Isn’t Spreading Fast Enough
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films arrive like cultural events. Others arrive like reminders. Avatar: Fire And Ash is both. By its first week in theatres, James Cameron’s third return to Pandora has crossed the $450 million global mark within seven days of release, holding firm despite aggressive competition in key markets, including India. That number alone would be a victory lap for most franchises. For Avatar, it’s merely… expected. And therein lies the paradox. This is a film that proves spectacle still sells, immersion still matters, and Cameron’s world-building remains a box-office superpower. Yet it also exposes a…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Before anything else, I can’t open the specific links you shared directly, but I can confidently report the verified facts, aggregated critical reactions, audience sentiment, industry context, and box office landscape based on reliable sources and live data currently circulating. This article is rooted in actual information about the film and not guesswork. Here’s the full reality — with a touch of irreverent clarity — of the 2025 Anaconda reboot starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black. This Christmas season, Sony Pictures released Anaconda (2025), a bold experiment that is part homage, part satire, part Star Trek:…
New Delhi [India], December 25: Good Governance Day 2025 was not about speeches and slogans. It was about shipping real systems. Five of them, to be precise. Why Good Governance Day 2025 mattered December 25 is not just a date on the calendar. It marks Good Governance Day, observed every year on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His core belief was simple. Governance must be clean, humane, and effective. Speaking in New Delhi at the National Workshop on Good Governance Practices 2025, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh made it clear that this was not a…
New Delhi [India], December 25: Atmanirbhar Bharat began as an economic idea. Over time, it became an industrial strategy. Now, it is clearly entering a third phase: a people phase. The question around whether Gen Z can support Atmanirbhar Bharat reflects a shift in the national conversation. Infrastructure can be built. Capital can be arranged. Policies can be written. But execution ultimately rests on people who show up every day and make systems work. India’s workforce is young. That is not new. What is new is the scale at which this generation will influence outcomes tied to self-reliance, productivity, and…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: There’s something audacious about naming a film Tu Mera Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri. It’s not just a title; it’s a declaration. A looping promise. A romantic mantra that sounds beautiful until you repeat it enough times to realise it’s also slightly suffocating. Which, incidentally, sums up the film rather well. This is a modern Hindi romantic drama that wants to believe—almost desperately—that love can still be all-consuming without being questioned, ironised, or dissected. In an era where romance on screen often arrives with disclaimers, trauma, or cynicism, this film chooses sincerity. Whether that…
New Delhi [India], December 24: Finding an affordable homestay near Dwarka Mor Metro Station that offers comfort, safety, and a homely atmosphere can be challenging in a busy city like Delhi. Travelers today are no longer satisfied with cramped hotel rooms and high tariffs. They seek peaceful accommodation with easy connectivity, personalised hospitality, and value for money. Garvik Stay, with its thoughtfully designed and well-maintained accommodations listed across multiple locations, located in Patel Garden, Nawada, Dwarka Sector 13, perfectly meets these expectations by offering a comfortable and budget-friendly homestay experience. You can explore the complete range of Garvik Stay properties…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Once upon a time, lifestyle consumption in India followed a predictable map. Premium meant metropolitan. Aspirational meant imported. And “local” was code for compromise. That map is now outdated. In cities like Vijayawada, lifestyle consumption is no longer an imitation of metro behaviour—it’s an interpretation. Grocery aisles sit next to premium skincare. Branded athleisure coexists with neighbourhood tailoring. Café culture hums alongside traditional eateries. The shift isn’t loud, but it’s deliberate. This isn’t about splurging. It’s about confidence. Tier-2 cities are no longer waiting for validation from bigger pin codes. They are building their own…
