<p>Taylor Swift, one of the&nbsp;world's most celebrated star musicians, has become the latest victim of deep-fake technology. Earlier this week, some explicit and obscene AI-generated images of Swift started circulating on the internet.<br />
<br />
The doctored AI photos showed Swift in a very objectionable manner during a Kansas City Chiefs game.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ''Lover'' singer has often been spotted at the Kansas game to support her beau Travis Kelce.<br />
<br />
As per the Daily Mail, the sexualised images of Taylor were created by a website known as Celeb Jihad, a deepfake porn site that has shared several faked photos of the A-listers.</p>

<p>The images were shared by the website on January 15 under the title 'Taylor Swift Chiefs Sex Scandal Caught On Camera'.</p>

The photos that have been widely shared on social media sites have triggered Taylor's millions of&nbsp;fans, who expressed their anger at the sexualised images.<br />
<br />
Some netizens took action and started urging social media users to report the images.<br />
<br />
One user wrote, ''I'm gonna need the entirety of the adult Swiftie community to log onto twitter (Known as&nbsp;X), search the term "taylor swift ai," click the media tab, and report every single ai generated pornographic photo of taylor that they can see because im f**king done with this bs. elon get it together.''</p>

<p>On India’s 75th Republic Day, chief guest French President Emmanuel Macron said his government plans to welcome 30,000 Indian students to his country by 2030. The French leader said on X, "30,000 Indian students in France in 2030. It’s a very ambitious target, but I am determined to make it happen.”</p>

<p>So, if you are an Indian wanting to study in France, you must know what significance France hold as a destination for foreign students on the world stage. You need to know the visa process and fee structure too.<br />
Here is everything you need to know.</p>

<h2><strong>Why France?</strong></h2>

<p>France is among the world’s top study destinations, ranked eighth in the world and fifth in Europe.</p>

<p>As of today, there are more than 250,000 international students in France, including 10,000 from India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>France offers diverse and extensive education programmes to foreign students, whether they speak French or not.</p>

<p>There are more than 3,500 public and private educational institutions&nbsp;in the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are 227 engineering schools in the country, along with 72 universities, 25 multi-institute campuses and 271 doctoral schools.</p>

<p>There are also 220 business and management schools.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Digital education in France</strong></h2>

<p>The abbreviation FUN, representing France Université Numérique (Digital University France), denotes the premier French online course platform offering nearly 300 courses from over 80 institutes, with enrollment approaching the one million mark, according to data from Campus France.</p>

<h2><strong>Visa process</strong></h2>

<p>A notable advantage of studying in France is the streamlined visa process, including the five-year short-stay Schengen visa for postgraduates.</p>

<p>The visa process is relatively straightforward, with short-term visas taking approximately six days and long-term visas up to a month, with moderate fees.</p>

<h2><strong>What’s the fee for studying in France?</strong></h2>

<p>Tuition fees are notably low in public higher education institutions due to government subsidies.</p>

<p>The actual cost of education aligns with global standards - around €10,000 per year.</p>

<p>However, in France, the government bears a significant portion of this cost, as outlined by Campus France.</p>

<p>An Indian-origin former lawyer in Singapore has been given 3 years and 11 months in jail after he was found guilty of misappropriating funds worth SGD 480,000 entrusted to him by three clients. The ex-lawyer, Gurdaib Singh Pala Singh, reportedly committed the offences between 2011 and 2016. As per one allegation, the 70-year-old ex-lawyer also continued to act as an advocate and charge fees from clients even after he was expelled from the law firm.</p>

<p>Singh used to work with Gurdaib Cheong &amp; Partners (GCP) law firm. Last July, Singh pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal breach of trust involving nearly SGD 459,000 and an offence under the Legal Profession Act. A third breach of trust charge was also considered during the sentencing.</p>

<h2><strong>Charges against the ex-lawyer</strong></h2>

<p>In December 2010, Zulkifli Osman hired GCP to help sell his late father's flat. The flat was sold in July 2011, and GCP got over SGD 356,000 from the sale for Zulkifli. Zulkifli and Singh agreed that Zulkifli's brother would get SG$ 138,876.50 from the total sum.</p>

<p>Zulkifli put SG$ 138,876 into GCP's account for his brother on December 15, 2011. But between December 2011 and May 2012, Singh used Zulkifli's money for other things without permission, for instance, office expenses.</p>

<p>Deputy Public Prosecutor Norman Yew said, “Between November 18 and December 23, 2014, Singh misappropriated the money and used it to pay for items such as GCP's office expenses.”</p>

Full heart, full tummy: Priyanka Chopra gives a sneak peek into her fun family vacay

<p>An Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer was tossed into the air as he conducted a traffic stop and another vehicle smashed into the stationary car near Interstate 40. The incident took place last Thursday (Jan 18) when Trooper Jesse Gregory was speaking to the driver of the car he had earlier pulled over. As he spoke, another car came from behind and smashed into the standing car, throwing the officer away onto the grass way on the side. A dashcam footage of the incident has now gone viral on the internet.</p>

<p>The video shows both vehicles&nbsp;heavily damaged in the incident.</p>

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer was tossed into the air as he conducted a traffic stop and another vehicle smashed into the stationary car near Interstate 40.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer was tossed into the air as he conducted a traffic stop and another vehicle smashed into the stationary car near Interstate 40. The incident took place last Thursday (Jan 18) when Trooper Jesse Gregory was speaking to the driver of the car he had earlier pulled over. As he spoke, another car came from behind and smashed into the standing car, throwing the officer away onto the grass way on the side. A dashcam footage of the incident has now gone viral on the internet. The video shows both vehicles heavily damaged in the incident.

<p>A former Google and Twitter executive was supposedly enjoying eating ‘Kurkure’ in the cafeteria of Beijing’s Google office when he was abruptly interrupted by a colleague. “Wow, I didn't know you were a fan of these,” the colleague warned. “Yes, of course. I grew up eating something similar as a snack in India,” replied Parminder Singh, former Managing Director of Google and Twitter. But then the response from the colleague left him red-faced.</p>

<p>It turned out that Singh was relishing crispy duck tongues all along and not ‘Kurkure.’ “Really? Are duck tongues common in India,” the colleague asked in a tone reflecting shock and surprise.</p>

<p>Singh recently took to X to narrate this funny incident to his followers. He said the incident took place when he was visiting Google's Beijing office.</p>

Ex-Google MD munched on crispy duck tongue in Beijing thinking it was kurkure, shares story

<p>Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's much-awaited movie&nbsp;<em>Fighter</em> is here. The movie was released in&nbsp;theatres on Thursday (Jan 25), a day before Republic Day 2024.</p>

<p>Helmed by <em>Pathaan </em>director Siddharth Anand, the movie has an ensemble cast comprising Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Akshay Oberoi, and Ashutosh Rana, among others.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What Fighter is all about?</strong></p>

<p>The movie's plot revolves around an elite group of Air Force officers, including Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania (Hrithik), Squadron Leader Minal Rathore (Deepika), and Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh (Anil), among others.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-hrithik-deepikas-fighter-gets-banned-in-gulf-countries-to-only-release-in-uae-683024">Hrithik-Deepika's Fighter gets banned in Gulf countries, to only release in UAE</a></p>

<p>As per CBFC, escalating militant activities along the Line of Control form the core of the plot of the film. In response, the Air Force establishes a special unit named Air Dragons at a base in Srinagar. Comprising Sukhoi 30 fighter jets and ALH helicopters, Air Dragons is an elite unit featuring the best combat aviators from the Indian Air Force.</p>

<p>Another exciting factor about the movie is the lead pair. The film brings together the two stalwarts of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, for the first time.</p>

<p><strong>Twitter Review:</strong></p>

<p>Shot at Indian air bases with real Sukhois and other Indian fighter planes, the movie provides a gripping&nbsp;theatrical experience. With&nbsp;mesmerising&nbsp;visuals and a patriotism-filled plot, the movie has the audience hooked from the first to the last frame. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh called<em> Fighter, </em>''brilliant''.

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's much-awaited movie Fighter is here. The movie was released in theatres on Thursday (Jan 25), a day before Republic Day 2024. Helmed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand, the movie has an ensemble cast comprising Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Akshay Oberoi, and Ashutosh Rana, among others. What Fighter is all about? The movie's plot revolves around an elite group of Air Force officers, including Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania (Hrithik), Squadron Leader Minal Rathore (Deepika), and Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh (Anil), among others. Also read: Hrithik-Deepika's Fighter gets banned in Gulf countries, to only release in UAE As per CBFC, escalating militant activities along the Line of Control form the core of the plot of the film. In response, the Air Force establishes a special unit named Air Dragons at a base in Srinagar. Comprising Sukhoi 30 fighter jets and ALH helicopters, Air Dragons is an elite unit featuring the best combat aviators from the Indian Air Force. Another exciting factor about the movie is the lead pair. The film brings together the two stalwarts of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, for the first time. Twitter Review: Shot at Indian air bases with real Sukhois and other Indian fighter planes, the movie provides a gripping theatrical experience. With mesmerising visuals and a patriotism-filled plot, the movie has the audience hooked from the first to the last frame. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh called Fighter, ''brilliant''. On X, Adarsh wrote, ''#Fighter is a smartly-woven product that steers away from blatant jingoism, yet makes a solid statement as the drama unfolds… Well-mounted, with some awe-inspiring visuals, aerial combat portions, clap worthy dialogue and a terrific second half, #Fighter delivers what it promises: a larger-than-life big-screen experience… Most importantly, #Fighter is a fitting homage to those bravehearts who guard our nation selflessly.'' #OneWordReview...#Fighter: BRILLIANT.

Fighter Twitter Review: Netizens call aerial drama 'excellent', call it better than Pathaan

<p>Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik sent shockwaves around the world as he announced his third marriage with Pakistani actress Sana Javed. He&nbsp;made the news of his marriage public amid rumours of divorce from Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza. Hours later on Saturday (Jan 20), Sania's father, Imran Mirza, confirmed his daughter's separation, revealing that she had opted for a 'khula' from the cricketer.<br />
<br />
"It was a 'khula.' I do not wish to comment beyond this," he stated.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, Sania's sister, Anam Mirza, broke her silence with a statement confirming the tennis star's divorce.<br />
<br />
In a post shared on her Instagram handle, Anam shared that Sania and Shoaib have been divorced for months now.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Artificial Intelligence, as of now, is not capable of replacing humans in most of the jobs in a cost-efficient manner, a new study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found. The study emerges amidst concerns that the rapid advancement of AI can potentially impact the livelihood of millions of job-seekers across the world.</p>

<p>The MIT study specifically focused on those jobs where computer vision was employed to assess whether AI can replace humans in an economically viable manner. Computer vision is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) used for deriving meaningful information from digital images and other visual inputs, with its most ubiquitous applications observed in object detection systems for autonomous driving or in helping categorise photos on smartphones.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Only 23% of workers can be replaced: Study</strong></h2>

<p>The study revealed only 23 per cent of workers can be replaced by AI in a cost-effective manner, if measured in terms of dollar wages. AI-powered virtual recognition devices and systems are so expensive to install and maintain that humans might end up doing the job more economically.</p>

‘Too expensive,’ AI not capable of replacing humans in workplaces, study reveals

<p>A Brazilian man continued to party for four days in a row without an iota of realisation that he had a 9mm bullet firmly lodged in his head. 21-year-old Mateus Facio thought he was hit by a stone during a New Year’s Eve party at a beach in Rio de Janeiro. He stopped paying attention to the injury as the bleeding stopped after some time. He spent the next four days partying at the beach with his friends, completely unaware of the severity of the situation.</p>

<p>"Little did I know that all this would happen," the New York Post quoted the Brazilian man as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On his way back home, the man realised he could not drive because his arms and fingers had stopped moving normally. After reaching home, he sought medical attention, only to find out that he had a bullet stuck in his head.</p>

<p>"I went to take a nap and woke up with my arm feeling a little silly," Facio said. "I felt my fingers moving, but I didn't have the confidence to pick something up," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The doctors later said the bullet was pressing an area close to the region responsible for the movement of the right arm, causing irritation. "This led to the brain to respond with movements that manifested as convulsive episodes," the doctor was quoted as saying by the Post. He added Facio was extremely lucky that he didn't sustain "more serious damage" such as paralysis of his arm or even his whole body.</p>

Chiranjeevi on attending Ram Mandir consecration ceremony: ‘I feel Lord Hanuman has personally invited me’

<p>Marlena Shaw, the jazz and R&amp;B vocalist whose “California Soul” was one of the defining soul songs of the late 1960s, has died. She was 81.</p>

<p>Shaw’s daughter, Marla Bradshaw, announced the singer’s death Friday in a video posted on Facebook. A cause of death was not given.</p>

<p>“It’s with a very heavy heart for myself and my family I announce that our beloved mother, your beloved icon and artist Marlena Shaw has passed away today at 12:03,” Bradshaw said in the video. “She went very peacefully, and she went listening to some of her favourite songs.”</p>

<p>Shaw, a charismatic and wide-ranging vocalist, was best known for 1969’s “California Soul,” which has endured as a widely popular and often sampled song. Gang Starr, Stereo MC and Diplo (who remixed it) are just a handful of the artists who have sampled it.</p>

<p>“California Soul” was written by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, the Motown songwriting duo behind hits like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.” Ashford first released his own version of the song in 1968, but Shaw recorded her rendition on her 1969 album “The Spice of Life.”</p>

<p>The 5th Dimension and Marvin Gaye also recorded “California Soul,” yet Shaw’s version became the standard. It was one of two hits that came from “The Spice of Life.” The other was “Woman of the Ghetto,” which Shaw co-authored and which likewise has been widely sampled.</p>

<p>Born Marlina Burgess in New Rochelle, New York, on Sept. 22, 1942, Shaw performed in jazz clubs before signing with Chess Records in the late ‘60s. She released her first two albums on Chess’ Cadet label before leaving for Blue Note in 1972.</p>

<p>Shaw, who had five children, toured for more than 50 years and put out 17 albums across eight different labels.</p>

<p>In a statement, Verve records remembered Shaw.</p>

<p>“We are saddened by the passing of Marlena Shaw, a wonderful singer whose ‘California Soul’ is as popular today as it ever was and whose album ‘It Is Love: Recorded Live At Vine St.’ helped relaunch the Verve label in 1987.”</p>

<p>Nominations for this year's Oscars will be unveiled on Tuesday, with the&nbsp; <em>Barbenheimer&nbsp;</em>juggernaut expected to roll on to the climax of Hollywood's awards season with multiple chances at glory.</p>

<p>After a combined $2.4 billion global box office take, <em>Barbie</em>&nbsp;and <em>Oppenheimer</em>&nbsp;-- two films linked only by their simultaneous release last July -- are seen as locks for a suite of nods for the 96th Academy Awards, which take place on March 10.</p>

<p>"It continues to be their year, and we expect them to dominate the nominations," Pete Hammond, columnist for industry site Deadline, told AFP.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With its clutch of five Golden Globes and momentum on its side, <em>Oppenheimer </em>-- Christopher Nolan's masterly portrait of the father of the atomic bomb -- appears to have the edge in the race for best picture, the Academy's top prize.</p>

Nominations for this year's Oscars will be unveiled on Tuesday, with the Barbenheimer juggernaut expected to roll on to the climax of Hollywood's awards season with multiple chances at glory. After a combined $2.4 billion global box office take, Barbie and Oppenheimer -- two films linked only by their simultaneous release last July -- are seen as locks for a suite of nods for the 96th Academy Awards, which take place on March 10. "It continues to be their year, and we expect them to dominate the nominations," Pete Hammond, columnist for industry site Deadline, told AFP.

Barbenheimer sitting pretty as Oscar nominations to be unveiled

<p>A woman recently set the cat among the pigeons on social media platform Reddit by claiming that her mother and her mother’s friend Lisa were ‘abducted’ by aliens when both of them were teenagers. She also claimed that while her mother doesn’t remember anything about the alleged encounter with aliens, Lisa remembers being kidnapped by aliens, not just once but four times.</p>

<p>The post on Reddit has now gone viral on social media.</p>

<p>According to the post, the woman’s mum and her friend were hanging out on their roof when suddenly they saw “a bright light in the sky". The post reads, “Next thing they know, the light is gone. The thing is, they think they've been on the roof for like 15 minutes, but something like three hours passed."</p>

<p>After this incident, the duo met with each other after a gap of 10 years, only to find out that the two had grown up into two different personalities altogether. According to the woman’s mother, Lisa would always appear with a very "dreamy" demeanour, "like she was really happy and at peace, for no good reason," the post stated.</p>

<p>The post added that Lisa still remembers her encounter with the aliens, something which happened at least four times. “She said that at first, it was all in bits and pieces and she couldn't remember any of it clearly. She was confused and scared and wanted to avoid discussing it. Then, as time passed, she began to remember more of it," the post read.</p>

After receiving the trophy, the actress thanked for the award and talked about her life, saying she has been obsessed with the movies. Salman Khan spotted at Joy Awards in Riyadh alongside Anthony Hopkins Alia said, "It's a privilege to be here in this nation, the nation that is currently doing so much to unite us all and bring us all under one roof in the name of cinema. It doesn't happen very often where countless talents from the West, and East come together under one roof and celebrate each other. So thank you for making this happen." Love you Baby 😘❤️#AliaBhatt pic.twitter.com/4G621PgSxV — /\/\usfikur Rahman💥 (@isrkzmusfik1) January 21, 2024 × She added further, "It's truly an extraordinary night. I'm obsessed with movies, it's all I know. I've said this before, I think when I was born, I came out on 'Lights, camera, action'. That's how much cinema means to me. One of the things, if we are talking about joy, one of the greatest things in our lives is love. So tonight when I go back home, I take back with me the love of the movies and the love that I felt here in Riyadh. So thank you so much, and here's to the magic of movies."

Like always, the Gangubai Kathiawadi actress turned all heads on the red carpet as she walked wearing the graceful saree. The actress looked regal in the red, blue, and black Ajrakh-print saree. She paired her saree with a strapless blouse, which added a touch of glamour to her traditional look. In mid-parting, she loosely tied her hair. She kept her makeup simple and accessorised with gold earrings.

<p>A UK man reportedly died after chopping off his penis as ‘he no longer needed it,’ according to an inquest heard on Friday (Jan 19). The 63-year-old man, identified as Reginald Alan Roach, had a history of mental illness. The incident took place on November 6, 2022 as&nbsp;the man was discovered lying in a field in Bangor, North Wales by a retired nurse Margaret Webster.</p>

<p>According to UK media, Roach was “groaning” as Webster found him and she could not feel a pulse. "I lifted his jogging bottoms and could see blood covering his groin area," she said during the inquest.</p>

<p>She started CPR and called 999. The paramedics arrived soon, along with police, who revealed that the man’s genitals had been cut off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A US-bound passenger plane was forced to return to Japan after a man bit a female attendant mid-flight on Tuesday (Jan 16). The All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight took off at 9:47 pm local time and was scheduled to land in Seattle 10 hours later. But, as per the data from a flight tracking website, the plane returned to Japan’s Haneda Airport three hours later. The suspect has been identified as a 55-year-old American citizen, but his name was not revealed by the authorities. The man was handed over to local police soon after the plane touched down. The man was arrested on assault charges.</p>

<p>"While flying over the Pacific Ocean, a passenger who was heavily intoxicated bit the arm of a female cabin attendant prompting the plane to return to Tokyo Haneda airport," a spokesperson for All Nippon Airways was quoted as saying by NBC News Thursday (Jan 18).</p>

<p>According to local media, the man told police that he had taken sleeping pills and didn’t remember exactly what transpired on the flight. The plane had 159 passengers onboard when the incident happened and was flying over the Pacific Ocean.</p>

<h2><strong>Third incident involving ANA within a week</strong></h2>

<p>It is the second incident involving All Nippon Airways within days. On Saturday (Jan 13), a domestic ANA flight had to return after a crack was discovered in the window of the cockpit. "The crack was not something that affected the flight's control or pressurisation," an ANA spokesperson later clarified.</p>

<p>Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's<em> Fighter </em>is among the most-awaited Bollywood film. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the action drama that brings two stalwarts Hrithik and Deepika for the first time together has been on everyone's watch list since the announcement. The release of the aerial drama is just around the corner but there are some people who are not happy with the movie.</p>

<p>Set in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack, the action-packed trailer&nbsp;shows&nbsp;India's&nbsp;revenge against the terrorist attack. Soon after the trailer&nbsp;was dropped, many Pakistani actors went on to slam the makers for showing an anti-Pakistan narrative and hatred.</p>

<p><strong>What are Pakistani celebrities saying about Fighter?</strong></p>

<p>Pakistani celebrities, such as Hania Aamir, Adnan Siddiqui, and others, have gone on to criticise the movie, saying that it's a ''cheap story of hatred.''</p>

<p>Actress Hania Aamir, who enjoys huge popularity in Pakistan and India as well, went on to slam the makers saying that it's sad to see cinema being used to broaden the rift&nbsp;between the two countries.</p>

<p>"So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium,"&nbsp;wrote&nbsp;Aamir in an IG story,</p>

<p>Other Pakistani actor Asad Siddiqui wrote, "Same old chronicle. Aren't you guys tired of selling the same false crap?! Grow up, guys! The world is moving on and getting mature but why do you want to sell this cheap story of hatred? Could have also promoted peace. Don't we have enough hatred in the world that you had to boost more hate [through] this global medium of movies?", he said before adding, "We all have a responsibility to promote peace around the globe instead of hate. What are you trying to prove here with this movie though?! How about checking facts that the whole world knows? You came, and we shot your MiG-21 and captured your pilot and then we released him with a fantastic cup of tea. Wake up, you guys."</p>

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's Fighter is among the most-awaited Bollywood film. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the action drama that brings two stalwarts Hrithik and Deepika for the first time together has been on everyone's watch list since the announcement. The release of the aerial drama is just around the corner but there are some people who are not happy with the movie. Set in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack, the action-packed trailer shows India's revenge against the terrorist attack. Soon after the trailer was dropped, many Pakistani actors went on to slam the makers for showing an anti-Pakistan narrative and hatred. Also read: Main Atal Hoon Review: Pankaj Tripathi gives a wholehearted performance in this overdramatised film What are Pakistani celebrities saying about Fighter? Pakistani celebrities, such as Hania Aamir, Adnan Siddiqui, and others, have gone on to criticise the movie, saying that it's a ''cheap story of hatred.'' Actress Hania Aamir, who enjoys huge popularity in Pakistan and India as well, went on to slam the makers saying that it's sad to see cinema being used to broaden the rift between the two countries. "So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium," wrote Aamir in an IG story, Other Pakistani actor Asad Siddiqui wrote, "Same old chronicle. Aren't you guys tired of selling the same false crap?! Grow up, guys! The world is moving on and getting mature but why do you want to sell this cheap story of hatred? Could have also promoted peace. Don't we have enough hatred in the world that you had to boost more hate [through] this global medium of movies?", he said before adding, "We all have a responsibility to promote peace around the globe instead of hate. What are you trying to prove here with this movie though?! How about checking facts that the whole world knows? You came, and we shot your MiG-21 and captured your pilot and then we released him with a fantastic cup of tea. Wake up, you guys." #FighterMovie #stopgenerationalhate pic.twitter.com/KmmyE6ydwm — Asad Siddiqui (@AsadSiddiqui_) January 15, 2024 × Adnan Siddiqui wrote that it's 'disheartening' to see Bollywood hate-filled movies against Pakistan.

Pakistani actors slam Hrithik Roshan's Fighter for anti-Pakistan narrative, director Siddharth Anand reacts

<p>Bollywood is in the mood for biopics, and so are we. This Friday, it's about a movie on the extraordinary life of one of the most cherished leaders of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, in Ravi Jadav's <em>Main Atal Hoo,</em> starring Pankaj Tripathi.</p>

<p>Making a biography on&nbsp;a political figure has always been a tricky job, especially when half of the focus is on how to whitewash their past and show a clean image. Nevertheless, when it comes to political stalwarts like <em>Atal Bihari Vajpayee,</em> the former Indian prime minister who was known for being&nbsp;least controversial and had a clean political career, the job becomes far easier. Throughout his life, Vajpayee's remarkable oratory and organising skills not only won over the hearts of his supporters but also his opponents.</p>

<p>It is a rather impossible task, to sum up the life of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, from his decades long political career to major achievements, in a two-hour film.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pr0cWzNIfXo?si=1ZqPZZbCnxpFOdMf" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Ravi Jadav's <em>Main Atal Hoon</em> doesn't delve deep into the life of the late politician but stays on the surface as it gives the audience a concise overview of Vajpayee's life, remarkable endeavours, and ideologies as the leader of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and founder of the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the party currently in power in India.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/pakistani-actors-slams-hrithik-roshans-fighter-for-anti-pakistan-narrative-director-siddharth-anand-reacts-681633">Pakistani actors' slams Hrithik Roshan's Fighter for anti-Pakistan narrative, director Siddharth Anand reacts</a></p>

<p><strong>How Main Atal Hoo Narrates the Life of Atal Bihari Vajpayee</strong></p>

<p>Inspired by Sarang Darshane’s book, Atalji: Kavihridayache Rashtranetyachi Charitkahani, the movie has Pankaj Tripathi playing the late PM.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film starts with the Kargil War, a key event during Vajpayee's reign. The film then goes back in time, showing young and afraid Atal, who is trying to give a speech but runs away from stage. Watching his son humiliated and embarrassed, his father, Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, played by Piyush Mishra, gives him wise words on how to impress people with his words.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The story fast-forwards, and we see young Atal, an enthusiastic RSS member and college student-activist.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He goes on to study law, dedicating his entire life to Sangh, works as a journalist and through his strong grip on words goes on to earn praise, leaving a long-lasting impression on everyone he meets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Without plunging deep into the events of his life and leaving many questions unanswered, the movie, set against the backdrop of Vajpayee's poems and symphonies of his words, lacks when it comes to telling the story of a passionate and prominent personality like him.</p>

<p>In biopics, what we have is the content, and the trick is how&nbsp;impactfully&nbsp;you can present the story of a person. Coming from Ravi Jadhav, a National Award-winning director, the narration of the movie is undeviating, making it an unimpactful watch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The other thing that I found odd was how the movie was sketched out; it felt like a theatre play. When making a film about a personality who has spent the&nbsp;entire life in public, the makers should try to keep it as realistic as possible to make it more relatable to the audience.

<p>The first half of the Rishi Virmanu-scripted film fails to make an impact.

<p><strong>How is Pankaj Tripathi as Atal?</strong></p>

<p>Pankaj Tripathi is an actor who puts a simple smile on the face of the audience whenever he comes to the screen. He's one of the most versatile and realistic actors in Bollywood right now. The actor, who is known for his comic roles, has put in a lot of hard work for the role of the iconic Indian leader. From the beginning to the end, in every speech and dialogue, Pankaj has tried to bring&nbsp;emotions to his performance for which he deserves praise.&nbsp;But what made his acting fall short was the writing of the film.</p>

<p>There were several instances where Pankaj's performance felt like he was asked to overact, showing emotions that were not the demand of the scene. But perhaps, Pankaj has done justice to the role to the extent he could.&nbsp;</p>

Bollywood is in the mood for biopics, and so are we. This Friday, it's about a movie on the extraordinary life of one of the most cherished leaders of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, in Ravi Jadav's Main Atal Hoo, starring Pankaj Tripathi. Making a biography on a political figure has always been a tricky job, especially when half of the focus is on how to whitewash their past and show a clean image. Nevertheless, when it comes to political stalwarts like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former Indian prime minister who was known for being least controversial and had a clean political career, the job becomes far easier. Throughout his life, Vajpayee's remarkable oratory and organising skills not only won over the hearts of his supporters but also his opponents. It is a rather impossible task, to sum up the life of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, from his decades long political career to major achievements, in a two-hour film. Ravi Jadav's Main Atal Hoon doesn't delve deep into the life of the late politician but stays on the surface as it gives the audience a concise overview of Vajpayee's life, remarkable endeavours, and ideologies as the leader of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and founder of the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the party currently in power in India.

The film starts with the Kargil War, a key event during Vajpayee's reign. The film then goes back in time, showing young and afraid Atal, who is trying to give a speech but runs away from stage. Watching his son humiliated and embarrassed, his father, Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, played by Piyush Mishra, gives him wise words on how to impress people with his words. The story fast-forwards, and we see young Atal, an enthusiastic RSS member and college student-activist. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pankaj Tripathi (@pankajtripathi) × He goes on to study law, dedicating his entire life to Sangh, works as a journalist and through his strong grip on words goes on to earn praise, leaving a long-lasting impression on everyone he meets. Without plunging deep into the events of his life and leaving many questions unanswered, the movie, set against the backdrop of Vajpayee's poems and symphonies of his words, lacks when it comes to telling the story of a passionate and prominent personality like him.

Coming from Ravi Jadhav, a National Award-winning director, the narration of the movie is undeviating, making it an unimpactful watch. The other thing that I found odd was how the movie was sketched out; it felt like a theatre play. When making a film about a personality who has spent the entire life in public, the makers should try to keep it as realistic as possible to make it more relatable to the audience. Many iconic scenes that were recreated, whether it's his famous 1996 no-confidence motion or his Ramleela Maidan speech in 1977 that still gives goosebumps to many, failed to impress .

Main Atal Hoon Review: Pankaj Tripathi gives a wholehearted performance in this overdramatised film  

<p>A rare silver coin, believed to be 2,500 years old, has been unearthed near the holy town of Jerusalem. The find indicates that early currency was indeed used in ancient Judea, conclude archaeologists.</p>

<p>The coin dates back to the fifth or sixth century B.C. when Achaemenid Persians used to rule Judea. The coin, unearthed recently, was found cut in half so that it could be valued for its weight. Experts point out that only a handful of such coins have been discovered so far.</p>

<p>"The coin is extremely rare, joining only half a dozen coins of its type that have been found in archaeological excavations in the country," Robert Kool, a coin expert at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), said in a statement.</p>

<p>"The coins were minted in a period when the use of coins had just begun," he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Where was the coin found?</strong></h2>

<p>The coin was discovered during an excavation meant for expanding a roadway at a place about 16 kilometres southwest of Jerusalem. The area used to be a rural region in the ancient Kingdom of Judea, which had its capital at Jerusalem.</p>

<p>Not just the coin, the remains of a "four room house," a traditional dwelling during this period, were also unearthed at the site, and the archaeologists also discovered a spherical sheqel weight — just under half an ounce (11 grams) — in one of the rooms.</p>
