Sai Abhyankar creates pure magic with the music and background score, taking every scene to another level. A complete collective and emotional theatrical experience. 10/10!”Another viewer wrote, “A film of two halves. It feels like there are two films in one here. The first half was charming and emotional with a moral story, the ending of this half was quite heartbreaking… but this heartbreak couldn’t be followed up. The second part was complete nonsense, fodder for violence and loud noises for the masses. “Really disappointing after a solid start.”Disclaimer: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.

Drone attack causes fire at nuclear plant in UAE
Dubai: A drone attack caused a fire at a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi officials said on Sunday, at a time when progress in efforts to end the US-Israel war with Iran and restart shipping in the Gulf appears to have stalled.Emirati officials said they were investigating the source of the attack and that the UAE had the full right to respond to such “terrorist attacks”. The UAE has previously accused Iran of attacking its energy targets, which it has said escalated the conflict in the region.The Abu Dhabi media office said the drone hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah nuclear power plant. It said radiological protection levels remained unaffected and no one was injured.The International Atomic Energy Agency said emergency diesel generators were providing power to “Unit 3” of the plant, and called for “maximum military restraint” near any nuclear power plant, adding that it was monitoring the situation closely. Barakah is the Arab world’s first and only nuclear power station.The UAE Defense Ministry said two other drones had been “successfully” dealt with, and that the drones were launched from the “western border”. It was not described in detail. agenciesUAE calls for unprovoked terrorist attack on N-reactorA statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the UAE “condemns in the strongest terms the unprovoked terrorist attack” and “will not tolerate any threat to its security and sovereignty under any circumstances”. “These attacks are a dangerous escalation, an unacceptable act of aggression and a direct threat to the country’s security,” it said.During the war, which began with US and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28, Iran has repeatedly targeted the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries that host US military bases, attacking sites that include civilian and energy infrastructure.The UAE hosts air defenses and personnel from Israel, which sparked a war with the US on February 28 by attacking Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian state television aired segments with news anchors holding rifles in an effort to prepare the public for war.The UAE Defense Ministry said three drones came across its western border with Saudi Arabia, with the other two being intercepted. It was being investigated who had launched them.The $20 billion Barakah Nuclear Power Plant was built by the UAE with help from South Korea and went online in 2020. It is the only nuclear power plant in the Arab world and can provide a quarter of the energy needs in the UAE. The UAE nuclear regulator said on Friday that the fire did not affect the safety of the plant and that “all units are operating normally.” The IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, said the attack caused a fire in an electrical generator and that a reactor was being powered by an emergency diesel generator.
Dutch PM Rob Jetten raises issue of 2016 kidnapping
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten pressed India for the return of a young girl, who was allegedly abducted by her father in 2016, when she was two, from Amsterdam and brought to India.“We also talked about the issue of Insia being kidnapped by her father and brought to India,” Jeten said on Twitter after meeting PM Narendra Modi.

Monsoon is 2 months away, lack of coordination, blockage of drains has increased the risk of floods.
Gurgaon: with monsoon With less than a month to go, residents of Sector 31 fear another season of severe waterlogging and floods due to the lack of a functional drainage system in the area. He alleged that the area remains unsafe during heavy rains due to poor coordination among multiple agencies, clogged drains and delay in implementation of sanctioned projects.Residents said the situation is particularly serious in low-lying areas and areas along the highway, where rainwater accumulates due to blocked natural slopes and inadequate storm water drainage connectivity.“Most parts of Sector 31 either lack proper drainage network or the existing drains are in poor condition. Many drains are filled with silt and debris, while some stretches have been encroached upon. “Proper desilting has not been done for almost five years,” said BS Yadav, RWA president of Sector 31.Residents alleged that despite repeated complaints, civic agencies have failed to execute sanctioned projects aimed at mitigating floods. Sudhir Yadav, a resident, said, “Every monsoon, the same roads and houses get submerged. Plans were earlier approved to increase green belt absorption areas to reduce rain water runoff, but the work was never executed.”Residents said damaged drains with broken lids and blocked channels at many places have made the situation worse. Residents said immediate desilting and repair works are needed to prevent flooding during the upcoming monsoon.Residents also blamed overlapping jurisdictions between civic bodies for the delay in resolution. “There are a lot of agencies involved – mcgGMDA, NHAI and HSVP – but no one takes ownership of the problem. Meetings were held earlier also and a tender for a sump and lifting system to divert excess rainwater was also approved, but the project never took off,” said Arvind Chadha, general secretary of the RWA.Meanwhile, MCG chief engineer Vijay Dhaka could not be reached for comment.
Maths difficult, Physics long in JEE Advanced: Students
Patna: More than 14,000 students appeared for JEE Advanced 2026 across Bihar on Sunday, of which around 9,000 candidates took the exam at around 18 centers in Patna.The exam was conducted in two shifts – Paper 1 from 9 am to 12 noon and Paper 2 from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. Students emerging from centers across Patliputra found the paper a bit tough, with Mathematics in Paper 1 and Physics in Paper 2 emerging as the toughest sections.According to the candidates, more importance was given to coordinate geometry and vectors in mathematics, while questions from integration were less than expected. Physics in Paper 2 was described as long and calculation-heavy.“Topics like ray optics and rotation dominated the paper. On the other hand, Chemistry was relatively easy compared to other subjects. Overall the paper was difficult. Now, it all depends on how many questions I solve correctly. For this, I will match it with the answer key,” said Shashank Srivastava, a student.Students said Paper 1 consisted of four categories of questions – single correct question (SCQ), multiple correct question (MCQ), matrix matching and integer-based questions.Abhyanand, an academic and former Bihar DGP (retired IPS), said the negative marking pattern has been comparatively relaxed this year. “It was not as rigorous as it used to be in previous years. However, the Physics questions were a little tougher than before. Mathematics was challenging but possible with good practice. For Chemistry, the questions were a little better than the standard level – we can call it moderate,” he said.Physics expert Anand Kumar Jha said that Physics in Paper 2 and Mathematics in Paper 1 will probably decide the rank. “This year’s JEE Advanced was a little easier compared to last year’s paper, so a slight increase in the cutoff is expected,” he said.This exam, conducted by IIT Roorkee this year, is the gateway for admission to other premier institutes including IIT and IISc Bengaluru.
Expressed concern over the functioning of BLO
Hyderabad: Political parties have alleged that booth level officers (BLOs) are not conducting door-to-door verification in some parts of Hyderabad ahead of the Pre-Special Intensive Revision (Pre-SIR) exercise, raising concerns regarding voter mapping and roll verification.Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjad Ullah Khan said in a complaint Chief Electoral Officer of TelanganaAlleged irregularities in the functioning of BLOs in Yakutpura, Chandrayangutta, Malakpet, Charminar, Bahadurpura and Caravan assembly constituencies under Hyderabad Parliamentary constituency.‘BLOs are working from party offices’Khan alleged that instead of visiting voters’ homes for verification, some BLOs were working from local party offices or residences of political leaders, forcing voters to visit these places for verification. The complaint also alleged that official BLO phone numbers were being answered by local political workers or leaders instead of the officials concerned.According to the complaint, these practices have created fears among voters that the verification process could be compromised and voter rolls could be manipulated, including the possible deletion of voters believed to be affiliated with rival political parties.Data privacy concerns flaggedMBT also alleged that BLO login IDs and passwords were shared with unauthorized persons, enabling them to download and operate the BLO app and access confidential voter data. Khan said this has raised serious concerns over voter data privacy, including sensitive information related to Muslim women voters.He requested the CEO to order an immediate inquiry into the functioning of BLOs in the affected constituencies, ensure strict door-to-door verification, investigate the alleged misuse of login credentials, put in place security measures for voter information and initiate disciplinary action against officials violating election norms.
