[ad_1] They say time stops for no one, but in Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s starrer ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’, the protagonist finds himself stuck in a loop where time (well, it doesn’t stop) but keeps repeating and re-lives his ‘haldi day’ over and over again! And it appears the audience is enjoying this time loop; this tragedy, which is comedy for cinephiles, has helped the movie maintain a steady box office performance. According to Sacnilk, after a 10-day run at the theatres, ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ has come closer to the Rs. 60 crore mark in India.‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ box office update - The weekend surgeThe debut weekend of the movie saw good numbers at the box office, but there was a significant dip in the footfall during the weekdays.

[ad_1] File photo: Trinamool MP Sagarika Ghose (Picture credit: ANI) KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress responded Sunday to home minister Amit Shah's "sindoor politics" by highlighting what it said was "the irony of his crusade against corruption with Suvendu Adhikari as its spearhead"."BJP is the world's largest washing machine, headed by Amit Shah. All ED cases are against opposition. Suvendu Adhikari, sitting next to Shah, has also been washed like this," Trinamool MP Sagarika Ghose said. The party said that instead of "politicising the purity of sindoor", Shah should take responsibility for the alleged security lapses that led to the killing of 26 people in J&K's Pahalgam and resign.

Others are exchanging news and information in newly formed encrypted group chats. And some have sought divine aid in "visa temples" - so called because Hindu devotees say prayers there provide a greater chance of getting a tourist, study or work visa.Career counsellors have become therapists, and the extended family networks that many Indians have in America, have set up war rooms […]

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: A Delhi court observed that a case in which the judgment was rendered by a foreign court, and was also sub judice in India, must be heard at length. The court of Additional Sessions Judge Sumit Dass made the observation on May 5 while hearing the submissions of Shravan Gupta, an accused in a money laundering case.

Meanwhile, the court stayed proceedings in the matter until July 4, the next hearing date. The court also […]

[ad_1] Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer celebrates with teammates after the win. (Pic credit: IPL) TimesofIndia.com in Ahmedabad: Shashank Singh, in an exclusive interview with TimesofIndia.com, had given Shreyas Iyer a new moniker: Punjab Kings' "captain fantastic." "He has his own swag, he has his own aura, and he backs his own instinct," Shashank, who had played with Iyer in age-group cricket in Mumbai, had to say about his IPL captain.On Sunday, in a rain-affected Qualifier 2, Shreyas Iyer displayed everything that Shashank was talking about. He didn't celebrate his half-century; he batted with surety, and it looked like he was calculating the chase in his mind. Chasing 204, Iyer, who is called 'sarpanch' (head of the village) by Punjab Kings fans, took charge. In the 13th over bowled by Reece Topley, Shreyas hammered a hat-trick of sixes, each better […]

[ad_1] File photo: PM Modi (Picture credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: For the first time in six years, PM Modi is unlikely to be a part of the G7 summit being hosted by Canada this year from June 15-17. There's no official invite yet from Canada for the meeting in Alberta but Modi in all likelihood would not have travelled there in any case, especially when India still isn't sure the new government in Ottawa will be more receptive to its concerns about Khalistani separatists.A Canadian G7 spokesperson didn't confirm to TOI late on Sunday if Modi was going to be invited. Any eleventh-hour invitation is unlikely to be considered by India because of logistical constraints, likely efforts by the separatists to disrupt the visit and the strained bilateral ties that both Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney have committed […]

NEW DELHI: Pakistan is staring at a bleak kharif (summer crops) sowing season with a major dip in live storage at its two key dams - Mangla on river Jhelum and Tarbela on Indus - and the "sudden decrease" in Chenab river inflows due to regulation of water flow by India in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.The situation may further aggravate this month during early kharif sowing and this is possibly what prompted Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif to raise concerns at a conference on glacier preservation in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, last week to draw global attention to India's decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.Latest estimates by Pakistan's Indus River System Authority (IRSA) show the country is already facing an overall shortage of 21% in water flow and […]
