Why Sardaar Ji 3 Became Pakistan's Biggest Blockbuster After Maula Jatt

Punjabi singer-star Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 landed in hot water after Pakistani star Hania Aamir's casting in the movie came to light. That the revelation was made months after the Pahalgam terror attack didn't help either. Following the controversy, the film skipped the release in India and hit the big screen across the globe, including Pakistan . And this is how India's loss became Pakistan's gain. Nadeem Mandviwalla, one of the biggest exhibitors of Pakistan who released Sardaar Ji 3 in his Cineplex multiplex chain in the country on June 27, told NDTV that the Punjabi film did "outstanding" business in Pakistan. According to him, the movie has grossed Rs 60 crore (PKR) at the Pakistani box office, coming in second to the Fawad Khan-starrer The Legend of Maula Jatt whose collection stands at Rs 124.50 crore (PKR). "It (Sardaar Ji 3) has become the second biggest box office success by crossing Rs 60 crore (PKR) gross box office (approx...

'Parag Is The Reason': On Samson Trade Saga, Ex-CSK Star Drops Bombshell

Former Indian cricket team batter  Subramaniam Badrinath believes that Riyan Parag can be the reason behind Sanju Samson potentially leaving Rajasthan Royals. With Samson injured for the first three matches in IPL 2025, Parag led the franchise. However, with Parag still remaining a big captaincy contender, Badrinath said that it can be a reason behind Sanju reportedly looking for a new team.  "I feel Riyan Parag is the reason. If you consider him for captaincy, how do you expect someone like Samson to stay?" Badrinath said on his YouTube channel . However, the former CSK cricketer also pointed out that despite being a like-for-like replacement for MS Dhoni , the franchise may struggle to find a place for Samson in the playing XI. "If Sanju Samson does come to CSK, then he could be the like-for-like replacement for MS Dhoni. Samson is a batter who can bat in the top three or four spots in the batting order. He is not someone who could fit in the number five or six sp...

Watch: Newborn Calf Walks Alongside Mother Elephant, Hours After Birth

A stunning video of a mother elephant crossing a road with her newborn calf has gone viral, catching the internet's attention. The nearly 20-second clip, shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, showcases the mama elephant carefully guiding the baby elephant, who is still learning to walk, having been born just a few hours earlier. On average, the newborn elephant calves stand about one metre in height and weigh roughly 120 kilograms. The calf is helped to its feet by the mother and other maternal figures in the herd. Calves are able to stand on their own within minutes of birth. After a couple of hours and a few minor but adorable setbacks, the calf is able to walk. "An unsteady walk, as the calf just came into world. Elephant calves start walking within one to two hours of birth. In wild, they have to be mobile, necessary for survival," Mr Kaswan captioned the video. Watch the viral video here: An unsteady walk, as the calf just came into world. Elep...

India Seeks Global Code Of Conduct To Prevent Pilot Poaching: Report

India wants countries to agree on a new code of conduct on hiring each other's airline staff after raising concerns that its fast-growing aviation system is being stifled by the poaching of Indian pilots and cabin crew without adequate notice. India, one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets, is wrestling with a shortage of experienced pilots, denting the aspiration of developing a job-creating global aviation hub. The recent crash of an Air India jetliner has sparked tighter scrutiny of the sector. But foreign airlines are repeatedly hiring skilled staff from Indian airlines, "adversely impacting India's ability to develop its civil aviation sector in an orderly manner," India said in an August 1 working paper submitted to the UN's aviation agency, the International Civil Aviation Organization. "Airlines from other countries tend to recruit experienced pilots, engineers, technicians, and cabin crew from Indian carriers, preventing India'...

Visa Applicants May Need To Post Bond Of Up To $15,000 To Enter US

The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many. In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa. The proposal comes as the Trump administration is tightening requirements for visa applicants. Last week, the State Department announced that many visa renewal applicants would have to submit to an additional in-person interview, something that was not required in the past. In addition, the department is proposing that applicants for the Visa Diversity Lottery program have valid passports from their country of citizenship. A preview of the bond notice, which...
