Dhurandhar—The 3.5-Hour Epic That is Filling Theaters in the UK: A Non-Spoiler Review
I went into this film armed with the relentless barrage of negative chatter: jingoism, toxic masculinity, excessive violence, propaganda, too long. Every review seemed determined to warn me off. But I watch every Hindi film that screens here in Portsmouth, UK, and this one was different. For the first time in years, the theater was…

Why India Desperately Needs Akasa Air to Survive and Thrive
The Indian aviation sector is on a tear, growing faster than almost any other large market on earth. In 2025 we will carry roughly 220–230 million domestic passengers — more than triple Australia’s ~60 million and closing in on one-third of America’s ~800 million.

Two very senior journalists – the kind who spent the last decade telling us that Modi’s victories were accidents, that 2014 was a “wave”, 2019 was “hate”, and that Congress still held the moral high ground – finally decided to ask the question everyone else answered years ago: Why does the opposition keep losing elections…

The end of Tejashwi Yadav and the RJD
Bihar has spoken, and the verdict is brutal: Tejashwi Yadav is finished. Not wounded, not regrouping—finished. The 2025 Assembly election didn’t just hand the NDA a landslide; it buried the RJD under 200+ seats of NDA concrete.

25 Seats, 25 Forts, 1 Vote Bank: The RJD Autopsy
Tejashwi Yadav spent months dominating headlines with fiery rhetoric — promises of “10 lakh jobs by Diwali,” a slick “MY” rebrand (Mahila-Yuva, they claimed, though the old Muslim-Yadav scent lingered), and sharp jabs at “Sushasan Babu” Nitish Kumar.
