What Jhumka: Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt give fans a perfect party number

A South African dance group is aiming to bring back the historic Pantsula, a symbol of resistance for the black community during the apartheid era.

How black S. Africans resisted apartheid

With over 90 events held in 30 countries around the world, Red Bull Dance Your Style is a truly global event with a unique twist – the crowd is the judge. Dancers from various street dance styles compete in one-on-one battles to unpredictable mainstream tracks ranging from recent global hits to classic beats, and the crowd decides who will emerge winner through a unique voting mechanism.

Witness the ultimate dance battle, India's top dancers on one stage

<p>Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s epic blockbuster ‘RRR’ gained immense popularity in many countries after the dance number ‘Naatu Naatu’ from the film won the Oscar for the Best Original song. Videos of people dancing to the song often emerge on the internet and the popularity of the dance number is not limited to India alone. Recently, a group of soldiers in the southern Ukrainian town of Mykolaiv put their own unique twist to the song and dance moves. The soldiers are seen dancing to the rigorous upbeat tempo, but with their own lyrics. The video has now gone viral across social media.</p>

<p>The clip shows two soldiers dancing to the song before another soldier appears to push them, in a similar manner to the British bully trying to eject Ram Charan’s Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komaram Bheem played by NTR Jr. Following a roughly similar visual narrative as the original song, the two are encouraged by a Ukrainian woman who then hands the two soldiers drone remote controls.</p>

<p>The soldiers use the drones to drop grenades into a marked target, showing video from the drone of the grenade drops. This is a call-back to the now hundreds of videos from Ukrainian military operations, which show drones dropping grenades on Russian soldiers across the frontline. The song continues with more soldiers joining in and dancing. Even the &nbsp;woman is now seen dancing. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The original video was posted by Jane Fedatova, a Ukraine politician.&nbsp;The video has&nbsp; already garnered&nbsp;over 6 lakh views on Twitter.</p>

<p>“The military from Mykolaiv filmed a parody of the song 'Naatu Naatu' from India of the movie ‘RRR’, the main soundtrack of which won an Oscar this year. In the original scene, the main characters express their protest against the British officer (coloniser) for not allowing them to meet with a song,” reads the translated caption Fedatova added to the post.</p>

<p>“Therefore, the fact that the Ukrainian version is against the Russian Federation, which colonised Ukraine, and the original is against another colonizing country, I hope will put the right meanings in the heads of Indians,” she added.</p>

<p>Interestingly, the original song was shot in front of the Ukrainian presidential residence, the Mariinskyi Palace. The shooting was completed over 17 days in August 2021, just six months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. While the surrounding areas in Kyiv suffered heavily during the initial round of bombing and missile strikes, the Mariinskyi Palace itself has escaped unharmed so far.</p>

The clip shows two soldiers dancing to the song before another soldier appears to push them, in a similar manner to the British bully trying to eject Ram Charan’s Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komaram Bheem played by NTR Jr. Following a roughly similar visual narrative as the original song, the two are encouraged by a Ukrainian woman who then hands the two soldiers drone remote controls. The soldiers use the drones to drop grenades into a marked target, showing video from the drone of the grenade drops. This is a call-back to the now hundreds of videos from Ukrainian military operations, which show drones dropping grenades on Russian soldiers across the frontline. The song continues with more soldiers joining in and dancing. Even the woman is now seen dancing. The original video was posted by Jane Fedatova, a Ukraine politician. The video has already garnered over 6 lakh views on Twitter. Військові з Миколаєва зняли пародію на пісню #NaatuNaatu з 🇮🇳 фільму "RRR", головний саундтрек якого виграв Оскар цього року. У оригінальній сцені гол.герої піснею виражають протест проти британського офіцера (колонізатора) за те, що він не пустив їх на зустріч. pic.twitter.com/bVbfwdjfj1 — Jane_fedotova🇺🇦 (@jane_fedotova) May 29, 2023 × “The military from Mykolaiv filmed a parody of the song 'Naatu Naatu' from India of the movie ‘RRR’, the main soundtrack of which won an Oscar this year. In the original scene, the main characters express their protest against the British officer (coloniser) for not allowing them to meet with a song,” reads the translated caption Fedatova added to the post. “Therefore, the fact that the Ukrainian version is against the Russian Federation, which colonised Ukraine, and the original is against another colonizing country, I hope will put the right meanings in the heads of Indians,” she added. Interestingly, the original song was shot in front of the Ukrainian presidential residence, the Mariinskyi Palace. The shooting was completed over 17 days in August 2021, just six months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. While the surrounding areas in Kyiv suffered heavily during the initial round of bombing and missile strikes, the Mariinskyi Palace itself has escaped unharmed so far.

<p>Chris Gayle, who has lit up the Indian Premier League before, will be back in IPL Mini Auction 2023, said a tweet from Jio Cinema. The streaming platform tweeted that it will broadcast the IPL 2023 Mini Auction on December 23. The event hosted by BCCI will be held in Kochi, for which over 400 players from India and abroad have listed. &nbsp;It is to be noted that, in the list of 405 players, Gayle's name is missing. That means Gayle is not up for grabs at the IPL Mini Auction 2023 on December 23. Jio Cinema's tweet has not revealed much but it seems Gayle will be one of the guests on the show.</p>

<h2><strong>Chris Gayle IPL Stats</strong></h2>

<p>Gayle, a dashing West Indian batsman, is an IPL legend. He has played for three different teams in the league. He began his career with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). After three seasons with them, he moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), and his final IPL squad was Punjab Kings, with whom he spent more than two seasons. Gayle appeared in 142 IPL matches, scoring 4965 runs with a strike rate of 148.96 and an average of 39.72. His greatest score is 175, which is the most in IPL history. It happened against the Sahara Pune Warriors. Gayle has 405 fours and 357 sixes in the tournament thus far.</p>

<h2><strong>Chris Gayle T20 Career</strong></h2>

<p>Gayle is regarded as one of the finest T20 players of all time. He has also won the T20 World Cup thrice. The 43-year-old has not included himself on the auction list this year, but he will undoubtedly be involved in the competition in some capacity. Gayle is still active in franchise T20 competitions, notably the T10 league. Gayle has scored over 14000 T20 runs in over 450 games, putting her at the top of the list of T20 run scorers.</p>

<h2><strong>IPL 2023 Player Auction</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Why was this season different?</strong></h2>

<p>The emotions have been running high since its semifinals, as the head judge of the show, Len Goodman, announced&nbsp;that this will be his final season. He has been part of the show since its 2005 debut and his last episode was this season's finale episode.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The finale was a two-hour episode with six pairs dancing on two routines each before the double elimination.

<p>According to Euronews, a new leaked video shows Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin dancing passionately with a man. Social media users are sharing the footage, which allegedly depicts Marin in what looks to be a club. The second video purports to show the politician having a good time. This week, Marin, 36,&nbsp;faced backlash for a video that showed her dancing at a party with friends. There were claims that she was under the influence of narcotics when the first video was taken. The most recent video is probably going to intensify political scepticism.</p>

<p>Countries usually fight on land, water, airspace, fish and more of such things. In the middle of the pandemic, some are fighting over vaccines.</p>

<p>However, Peru and Bolivia are fighting over something totally different. There is an ongoing diplomatic row between the two neighbours over ancient dance forms and Bolivia is now threatening to knock on UNESCO's door.</p>

<p>The dance form the two countries are fighting on is called 'La Morenada' and Bolivia wants to be known as its country of origin. However, Peru recently declared La Morenada, Rey Monero and Rey Caporal as the cultural heritage of the city of Puno.</p>

<p>This resolution was published in a state newspaper. Its words were too bitter for Bolivia to digest and it, therefore, wants to request international protection of its culture from UNESCO.</p>

<p>"In 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO declared the Oruro carnival and its dances, including the Morenada dance and the dance of the Caporales, a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity," Sabina Orellana, the Bolivian culture minister said.</p>

<p>Peru has denied these claims and says it is not stealing a dance and definitely not its origin or exclusivity.</p>

<p>Folk dances in the Andean highlands have a long shared history and each country in the region has contributed to the art form over the years. The Morenada or dance of the black slaves, for example, has a mix of African and indigenous elements, Alejandro Neyra, Peru’s cultural minister, said.</p>

<p>"This is precisely part of what unites us from southern Peru with Bolivia, which is what we want to protect. This lore and artistic expression are part of knowledge. That is not proprietary of a single territory but rather that they can be shared because the idea is that they be preserved and maintained over time," Alejandro Neyra said</p>

<p>This is not the first time that two countries are fighting over culture. War of words has been fought over GI tags and on social media. They include the battle over handloom, basmati rice, culinary, and even fish.</p>

"In 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO declared the Oruro carnival and its dances, including the Morenada dance and the dance of the Caporales, a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity," Sabina Orellana, the Bolivian culture minister said. Peru has denied these claims and says it is not stealing a dance and definitely not its origin or exclusivity. Folk dances in the Andean highlands have a long shared history and each country in the region has contributed to the art form over the years. The Morenada or dance of the black slaves, for example, has a mix of African and indigenous elements, Alejandro Neyra, Peru’s cultural minister, said. "This is precisely part of what unites us from southern Peru with Bolivia, which is what we want to protect. This lore and artistic expression are part of knowledge. That is not proprietary of a single territory but rather that they can be shared because the idea is that they be preserved and maintained over time," Alejandro Neyra said This is not the first time that two countries are fighting over culture. War of words has been fought over GI tags and on social media. They include the battle over handloom, basmati rice, culinary, and even fish.
