Did You Follow the Laid Down Rules During SIR? Not in Bihar, Say Election Officials
It has been over a year since the Election Commission of India (ECI) rolled out the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls. The ECI’s exercise has rendered potentially crores of legitimate voters ‘doubtful’, pausing, if not entirely ending, their right to vote. Out of over 5.18 crore voters deleted in 13 states and union territories, 60 percent (3.15 crore) deletions are of people classified as “shifted”. Which means, they were not found at the address they were registered to vote.
Ve Junoon brings back the magic of music
There is something instantly familiar about Ve Junoon, the latest song from Awarapan 2. Picturised on Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, the track does not merely introduce another romantic melody. It attempts to revive an era of Hindi film music that many listeners still hold close to their hearts.
Welcome to the Jungle Review | Complete Family Entertainer
Welcome To The Jungle announces its intentions within the opening minutes. A businessman facing a crisis is advised that the solution to his problems is to deliberately produce a flop film. That outrageous premise immediately tells audiences what kind of world they are entering. This is not a film interested in logic, realism or grounded storytelling. It is a full-blown roller coaster where the only sensible thing to do is fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.
India gives climate talks a miss, dials in from home
New Delhi: For the first time in decades, India has skipped the critical United Nations climate negotiations that opened on June 8 in Bonn, Germany.

Binge Vs. Drip: The strategic trade-off in Web Series release models
In the early years of the streaming boom, releasing an entire season of a series in one go became the defining feature of digital platforms. The binge drop did more than change how audiences watched television. It reshaped viewing habits, marketing strategies, and even storytelling structures. Over time, however, the industry began to reconsider the model. As competition intensified and subscriber growth slowed, many platforms experimented with daily and weekly episode releases.
BJP’s Political Arrangement to Come Back to Power in Manipur is Not a Peace Deal
{A newspaper commissioned me to write. I did and requested they fix the grammar but not delete or alter any part of it. Upon reading, they informed, they were too crunched for space. So, with all the language warts, here it is.} A political arrangement has been arrived at again in Manipur, to reinstall a BJP government. It has been months in the making. Such deals among the political elites of a state and the Centre contain several terms that citizens do not get to know about. More so in Manipur.

Movie Review Nuremberg | Courtroom Of Conscience More Than Justice | Glamsham.com | Since 1999
Nuremberg is one of the cities in the German state of Bavaria. Russell Crowe and Rami Malek Face Off in a Courtroom Drama of Conscience and Power. There’s something inherently cinematic about the Nuremberg Trials — the gravest men of the 20th century facing the moral weight of their crimes under the flicker of courtroom lights. James Vanderbilt’s Nuremberg revives that atmosphere with an unmistakable sense of seriousness, even though its emotional temperature often remains carefully contained.
Movie Review Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari arrives with a title that immediately reminds one of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety—playful, tongue-twisting, and promising frothy entertainer. Much like Luv Ranjan’s 2018 romcom, Khaitan’s film also thrives on the chaos of relationships set against the backdrop of family, weddings, and music-filled festivities.

A democracy demolition job, carried out silently
An unsigned note found its way into a government file. No one can tell who had written it. Or who had put it in the file within the secure confines of Union Finance Ministry.
