Nivin Pauly’s political thriller ‘Pratichhaya’ had a lukewarm start at the box office and collected Rs 65 lakh on the first day. The film, which sees Pauly’s son stepping in to protect his father’s image amid a political crisis, recorded a modest 24.44% occupancy. Its success now depends on positive interactions against tough competition.

‘Pratichhaya’ Nivin Pauly and director B. Unnikrishnan. Sharafuddin also plays the lead role in the political thriller film. There was less enthusiasm among the audience about the film and its impact was also visible on the box office collection.

first day box office collection

According to the report of SACNILC, ‘Pratichhaya’ collected a nett of Rs 65 lakh on its opening day and the total earning for India stood at Rs 75 lakh. Worldwide gross is also Rs 75 lakh. The film recorded these figures in 755 shows.The coming days will be important for its box office journey.

Occupancy Trends on Inauguration Day

The film recorded a total occupancy of 24.44% on the first day. The morning show had 12.75% and the afternoon show had a slight improvement to 19.25%. Evening shows reached 21.58%, while night shows recorded the highest of 37.08%.

plot and narrative

‘Pratichhaya’ revolves around a political crisis and the story revolves around Chief Minister KN Varghese, who faces a major scam. His son John, a techno-entrepreneur, steps in to protect his father’s image. As the story unfolds, John must overcome challenges to restore credibility.

ETimes’ decision

Our exclusive ETimes review for the Nivin Pauly starrer reads, “The thriller aspect begins with a scandal at the end of the first half, when John is forced to take center stage. KN Varghese is embarrassed by the media and John has to clear his father’s name. Will he also step in to stop corporates from getting a hold on our information, thoughts and choices? Whereas in the hands of another actor, John could have been a more expansive character, Nivin downplayed his role and the film is better for it. Otherwise, the issues on which the Prathicharya had an eye would have been lost in loud dialogues and twirling moustaches. His acting prowess once again shows that he knows how to shine in a heroic role as much as he does in an emotional role or a cameo comedy role. Sharafuddin also plays it well and complements Nivin’s vibe.”‘Pratichhaya’ is now relying on word of mouth promotion to take off as it faces major competition from Jayasurya’s ‘Aadu 3’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’.Disclaimer: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from a variety of public and industry sources.

Democrat Ethan Aggarwal urged President Donald Trump to review sanctions on Iranian students.

Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ethan Agarwal, who is running for Congress in California-17 as a challenger to Ro Khanna in the Dem primary, urged President Donald Trump to reconsider his immigration ban on Iran as it would force thousands of Iranian students who will graduate in May this year to move out of the US. These students are now on F-1 visas, but since the US has halted all immigration processes to Iran, these students will not be able to enroll for the OPT, STEM OPT or H-1B visa programs until the moratorium is lifted. Aggarwal wrote, “These are young people who want to contribute to America; who are in school at places like Berkeley, Santa Clara University, and Stanford. Without restraints, they must return to Iran in 60 days. We want these young, talented people to live and work in America, pay taxes in America, and create jobs here.”“While USCIS explores the broader timing and implications of lifting the moratorium against affected immigrants, we request that the moratorium be lifted specifically for students graduating in 2026,” he said. Agarwal also shared a letter from a group of Iranian students, which said they have never had any connection with the Islamic Republic. He said that he wants to be given a fair review based on all the security protocols of America and then he should be allowed to stay in America. But the ban means they will not be allowed to stay in the US after they graduate from their colleges.Criticizing Agarwal, one wrote, “I don’t know who chose this idiot to represent the Iranians; many of the F-1 students at Stanford, Berkeley, and CA-17 (Google, Apple, etc.) in Silicon Valley are agents or assets of the regime. Please use extreme caution and keep checking.”Ethan took his stand and said he was advocating for screening all students and deporting those the State Department deems harmful to the United States. Another criticism stated, “Here we have another ambitious American politician advocating not for American citizens but for American citizens. He could be fighting for American students and workers, instead he is fighting against them.”

Anytime you’re about to step into the Octagon against a fighter considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, it’s natural to be nervous. Joe Pfeifer will join UFC Fight Night on Saturday, March 28 with the task of welcoming former UFC middleweight king Israel Adesanya.

UFC: full coverage

The Last Stylebender is coming into the fight despite not being in the best form. Since getting revenge on Alex Pereira and winning the middleweight strap for the second time, Adesanya has lost three consecutive bouts. This included a decision loss to Shawn Strickland, a submission loss to Darius du Plessis and then being knocked out by Nasourdin Imavov. After this he went on a gap of 14 months, which was the longest gap of his career.

Read the full story

Despite this, Adesanya is considered the heavy favorite in the fight. After all, he is a man who enjoyed one of the fastest runs to the top of the division. Pfeiffer is well aware of the noise surrounding the former UFC middleweight champion, but the plans, according to the former Dana White Contender Series grad, are simple: He’s treating it like any other fight.

“Just have to change the strategy a little bit. The game plan is different for every fight. But I’ve been preparing for 5 rounds and really studying Adesanya and what he likes to do and what his cells are like. So yes, like any other fight,” Pfeiffer told India Today.

Pifer is coming off a three-fight winning streak and is 6-1 in his UFC career. Many feel he is moving forward while Adesanya is moving in the opposite direction despite being 36 years old. But Americans do not believe this to be true. When it came to pressure, he said he was not facing it, adding that it would be up to Adesanya to perform and come out on top. In fact, he is happy with the underdog tag against Adesanya.

“He’s still one of the best in the world. He’s definitely the goat of the middleweights, and he’s not old. It’s not that he looked terrible in his last three fights. It’s not that he looked slow. He got caught, that’s OK. It is what it is, but I still think he’s one of the best and I think he’s motivated and he’s here to fight. So I don’t feel any pressure. All the pressure is on him. If he’s still going to be that way then I’m a guy who shouldn’t be able to compete with him on paper,” Pifer said.

lean towards faith

One notable feature about Pifer over the years has been how she has gotten rid of her angry personality and acquired a calm personality. Openly embracing faith and a new relationship with Jesus Christ, he aims to use this as a way to deal with all the media attention in this fight.

“There’s definitely noise. I can definitely let this moment come to me and be bigger than it is. But I don’t really feel like it’s that big. I know the magnitude of the fight is huge, but I don’t think I’ve done a lot of interviews about it because of everything that’s happened in my life.”

“I’m just relying on my faith and my prayers and trusting that whatever’s supposed to happen will happen and letting go of what I can’t control.”

Pfeiffer is currently ranked 14th in the middleweight rankings and a win against Adesanya would certainly take him into the top 10. But his approach is to just fight and forget about the numbers ahead of him. His mantra is simple. Fight whoever is in front of you. When it comes to Adesanya, show no fear.

“It doesn’t matter what numbers are next to my name. I’ll fight whoever they put in front of me and I’ll try to destroy whoever they put in front of me. So right now it’s Israel, and even though I respect them, I’m not afraid of them, and I’ll walk in there and implement my game plan and be vicious,” Pifer said.

And this belief and simplicity of his still continues when it comes to his goals in the game. For him, it’s just about competing and seeing if he can truly excel with the best in the business.

“My goal is just to see how far I can take it. That was always my goal when I came into MMA. It was to see if I stay true to myself, stay true to what I believe in, I can compete with the best, beat the best, and I can fight at the highest level.”

“I think I’ve shown that I can fight at the highest level. This is absolutely the highest level, so, we’ll see if it’s even more competitive, right? I think no matter what happens for me in the Adesanya fight, it’s a win. Obviously, I’m driving to win, and, God willing, I’ll get it,” Pifer said.

कार्यक्रम का आयोजन पुलिस अधीक्षक अपराध श्रीमती के निर्देशन में किया गया। इंदु सिद्धार्थ की अध्यक्षता में मिशन शक्ति टीम ने स्टॉल लगाकर उपस्थित छात्राओं, महिलाओं और नागरिकों को महिला सुरक्षा कानून, हेल्पलाइन सेवाओं और डिजिटल सुरक्षा के महत्वपूर्ण पहलुओं से परिचित कराया। पूरे परिसर में जागरूकता का माहौल नजर आया जिसमें सुरक्षा सिर्फ एक विषय नहीं बल्कि सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी थी।

अभियान के तहत आईटीआई परिसर में जागरूकता स्टॉल आकर्षण का केंद्र बना

आईटीआई मुजफ्फरनगर परिसर में लगाए गए मिशन शक्ति जागरूकता स्टॉल पर बड़ी संख्या में छात्राएं और महिलाएं पहुंचीं। यहां पुलिस टीम ने महिलाओं को विस्तार से बताया कि वर्तमान समय में सुरक्षा केवल भौतिक स्तर तक ही सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि डिजिटल माध्यमों पर भी सावधानी बरतनी बेहद जरूरी है।

स्टॉल पर मौजूद पुलिस कर्मियों ने हेल्पलाइन नंबर 1090, 112 और 181 का उपयोग करने की प्रक्रिया समझाई और स्पष्ट किया कि किसी भी आपातकालीन स्थिति में महिलाएं तुरंत इन सेवाओं का लाभ उठा सकती हैं। कई छात्राओं ने इन नंबरों को मौके पर ही अपने मोबाइल फोन में सेव कर लिया और व्यक्तिगत स्तर पर पुलिस अधिकारियों से भी चर्चा की।

यह पहल केवल जानकारी प्रदान करने तक ही सीमित नहीं रही, बल्कि इसमें संवाद और भागीदारी का माहौल भी देखने को मिला, जिसके कारण यह कार्यक्रम अधिक प्रभावी और उपयोगी साबित हुआ।

महिलाओं को बताए गए सुरक्षा कानूनों के मजबूत प्रावधान

मिशन शक्ति मुजफ्फरनगर कार्यक्रम के दौरान पुलिस टीम ने महिलाओं को उनके अधिकारों से संबंधित विभिन्न कानूनों की जानकारी दी। इसमें घरेलू हिंसा से संरक्षण अधिनियम, बाल विवाह निषेध अधिनियम, साइबर अपराध से संबंधित प्रावधान और महिला उत्पीड़न के खिलाफ कानूनी कार्रवाई की प्रक्रिया को सरल भाषा में समझाया गया।

महिलाओं को बताया गया कि किसी भी प्रकार की हिंसा या उत्पीड़न की स्थिति में चुप रहना समस्या का समाधान नहीं है, बल्कि तुरंत शिकायत दर्ज कराना सुरक्षा की दिशा में पहला कदम है। पुलिस अधिकारियों ने यह भी स्पष्ट किया कि पीड़ित को शिकायत दर्ज कराने में कोई झिझक या डरने की जरूरत नहीं है।

इस मौके पर छात्राओं ने कई सवाल भी पूछे, जिनका पुलिस अधिकारियों ने धैर्यपूर्वक जवाब दिया और उनके मन में मौजूद शंकाओं को दूर किया.

अभियान में साइबर अपराध से बचाव पर विशेष जोर

साइबर सुरक्षा जागरूकता मिशन शक्ति मुजफ्फरनगर कार्यक्रम का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा था। वर्तमान डिजिटल युग में सोशल मीडिया और ऑनलाइन प्लेटफॉर्म का इस्तेमाल तेजी से बढ़ रहा है, इसलिए साइबर क्राइम की घटनाएं भी लगातार सामने आ रही हैं।

पुलिस टीम ने छात्राओं को बताया कि उन्हें अज्ञात लिंक पर क्लिक करने, व्यक्तिगत जानकारी साझा करने और फर्जी प्रोफाइल पर बातचीत करने से बचना चाहिए। यह भी बताया गया कि साइबर अपराध की शिकायत दर्ज करने के लिए एक विशेष पुलिस प्रणाली है और पीड़ितों को तत्काल सहायता मिल सकती है।

इस दौरान सोशल मीडिया के जिम्मेदारीपूर्ण उपयोग, डिजिटल पहचान की सुरक्षा और ऑनलाइन धोखाधड़ी से बचने के उपायों पर भी विस्तार से चर्चा की गई।

के माध्यम से हेल्पलाइन सेवाओं की उपयोगिता के बारे में बताया गया

कार्यक्रम के दौरान वूमेन पावर लाइन 1090, आपातकालीन सेवा 112 और महिला हेल्पलाइन 181 के महत्व को विशेष रूप से रेखांकित किया गया। पुलिस अधिकारियों ने बताया कि महिलाओं की सुरक्षा के लिए ये हेल्पलाइन सेवाएं चौबीसों घंटे सक्रिय रहती हैं।

विद्यार्थियों से कहा गया कि यदि किसी भी प्रकार की समस्या आती है तो वे तुरंत इन नंबरों पर संपर्क करें। पुलिस ने यह भी स्पष्ट किया कि इन सेवाओं का उपयोग पूरी तरह से गोपनीय रखा जाता है, जिससे शिकायतकर्ता की पहचान सुरक्षित रहती है।

इस जानकारी से उपस्थित महिलाओं व युवतियों का आत्मविश्वास बढ़ा और उन्होंने पुलिस की इस पहल की सराहना की.

कार्यक्रम में बाल विवाह और घरेलू हिंसा के खिलाफ जागरूक किया गया

मिशन शक्ति अभियान के तहत बाल विवाह और घरेलू हिंसा जैसे संवेदनशील विषयों पर भी खुलकर चर्चा की गई। पुलिस टीम ने कहा कि आज भी समाज में कई जगहों पर बाल विवाह की घटनाएं होती हैं, जो कानूनन अपराध है और लड़कियों के भविष्य पर इसका गंभीर असर पड़ता है.

महिलाओं को घरेलू हिंसा के मामलों में कानूनी सहायता लेने के अधिकार के बारे में भी जानकारी दी गई। उन्हें बताया गया कि किसी भी तरह की मानसिक या शारीरिक यातना सहना जरूरी नहीं है और कानून उनके साथ खड़ा है।

मिशन शक्ति से बढ़ा छात्राओं का आत्मविश्वास मुजफ्फरनगर

कार्यक्रम में भाग लेने वाली छात्राओं ने पुलिस टीम से सीधा संवाद किया और सुरक्षा संबंधी विभिन्न मुद्दों पर चर्चा की। इस संवादात्मक वातावरण ने कार्यक्रम को और अधिक प्रभावी बना दिया तथा छात्राओं के आत्मविश्वास का स्तर स्पष्ट रूप से बढ़ रहा था।

विद्यार्थियों ने कहा कि ऐसे कार्यक्रम न केवल उन्हें जागरूक करते हैं बल्कि कठिन परिस्थितियों में सही निर्णय लेने की क्षमता भी देते हैं।

अभियान में समाज की सामूहिक जिम्मेदारी पर जोर

पुलिस अधिकारियों ने स्पष्ट किया कि महिलाओं की सुरक्षा न केवल प्रशासन की जिम्मेदारी है, बल्कि यह समाज के प्रत्येक नागरिक का कर्तव्य है। केवल परिवार, शैक्षणिक संस्थान और सामाजिक संगठन ही मिलकर एक सुरक्षित वातावरण बना सकते हैं।

इस संदेश ने उपस्थित लोगों पर गहरा प्रभाव डाला और कार्यक्रम का उद्देश्य न केवल जानकारी प्रदान करना था बल्कि सामाजिक सोच में सकारात्मक बदलाव लाना भी था।

अभियानों से महिला सशक्तिकरण का आधार मजबूत हो रहा है

प्रदेश सरकार द्वारा चलाया जा रहा मिशन शक्ति अभियान महिलाओं को आत्मनिर्भर एवं सुरक्षित बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा रहा है। इस अभियान के माध्यम से लगातार जागरूकता कार्यक्रम आयोजित किये जा रहे हैं, जिससे समाज में सकारात्मक परिवर्तन दिखाई दे रहे हैं।

पुलिस विभाग ने भविष्य में भी इसी तरह के कार्यक्रम जारी रखने की योजना बनाई है ताकि महिलाओं और लड़कियों को सुरक्षित वातावरण प्रदान किया जा सके और वे आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपने सपनों को साकार कर सकें।

मुजफ्फरनगर पुलिस द्वारा मिशन शक्ति अभियान के तहत चलाये जा रहे ऐसे जागरूकता कार्यक्रम बताते हैं कि बदलते दौर में महिला सुरक्षा सिर्फ एक प्रशासनिक प्रयास नहीं बल्कि एक सामाजिक आंदोलन का रूप ले चुकी है। आईटीआई परिसर में आयोजित इस पहल ने छात्राओं और महिलाओं को आश्वस्त किया कि पुलिस उनकी सुरक्षा, सम्मान और अधिकारों की रक्षा के लिए हर कदम पर उनके साथ खड़ी है और भविष्य में भी इसी तरह के सशक्त अभियान जारी रहेंगे।

Is Paula Badosa retiring at 28? Battling injury and falling out of the top 100 after emotional message raises concerns (Image via Getty)

Paula Badosa is going through a very difficult time, and this time it’s not just about tennis. The former world No. 2 player shared an emotional message after his ranking slipped out of the top 100. The 28-year-old Spanish star has been suffering from a back injury for a long time and now she is also struggling with mental pressure. Following his early exit at the Miami Open, things took a turn for the worse in the rankings and his words have now raised serious concerns about his future in the sport.He already paused his 2025 season in September to recover, but wins have not come easily since coming back. Earlier this month, she played a lower-level Challenger tournament in Austin to gain confidence, winning three matches before losing in the semi-finals. Then in Miami she won her first match but in the next round she lost badly to young American player Eva Jovic 6-2, 6-1. Because she had reached the fourth round last year, this early defeat cost her many ranking points.

After the loss, Paula Badosa took to Instagram to share how she really felt inside. His words were raw and honest.She wrote, “Fear, that terrible fear. It’s so horrible. Sometimes I feel like I can’t control the voices inside me. The emotions are overwhelming, and I feel like I’m drowning. Doubt takes over, and I feel lost in a sea of ​​emotions.”He also admitted that some days feel better than others. “There are days when I feel pretty strong, and there are days when the mountain seems too high… and I wonder if I can do it.”Still, she made it clear that she was not giving up. “If there’s one thing that defines me, it’s that I always bounce back. Turn pain into strength, right? Why should this time be any different?”This comes after months of struggling with his back injury. She has missed big tournaments before due to this issue. Even when she plays she is not fully fit, which has made things difficult.Last month, he also gave a strong response to a fan who questioned his commitment. She said, “You have no idea what it’s like to live with an old injury and still choose to keep going… I’m the first one to live with the pain and the endless nightmares that come with trying to find solutions every day.”His life has changed outside the court too. Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas ended their relationship last year, bringing more attention and pressure on them.Despite everything, she is trying to remain hopeful. He told his fans, “Paula isn’t back yet… but she will be back.”
