I think it’s time for Harmanpreet Kaur to hand the captaincy to Smriti Mandhana and play more freely.
She seems to be getting into a shell and batting way too slowly.
I just hope it doesn’t become another Dhoni situation, where the change comes too late.
I think it’s time for Smriti Mandhana to take over the T20I leadership. She is 30, experienced, batting beautifully and seems perfectly ready for the responsibility. 🤞
y'all are debating sai pallavi's modern saree blouse in ramayana movie cos it is supposedly an inaccurate representation of sita.
cool. then why is rakul preet aka surpanakha wearing a sleeveless corset blouse?
tbh if historical accuracy is the standard, why are we suddenly so selective lol 😭
this feels like those old hindi serials where the fully covered heroine was "good" and the sleeveless, opinionated woman was the vamp.
also the norm that bare shoulders make a woman look "immodest" is pmo istggg 😭
this isn't some feminist textbook gyan though, but indian artistic traditions were far more comfortable with the female body than we are today.
and i wonder what exactly is changed?
cos somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing women's clothing as just clothing and started treating it as a morality test.
this is lowkey the same old patriarchal obsession of controlling every small choice, women's bodily autonomy, and self expression.
maybe this debate was never really about historical accuracy. maybe it was always about who gets to decide what a "good woman" looks like.
Yaar once a month some sensational crime against a man happens and entire country acts as if men are subjected to fetocide,sexual abuse,rape,child marriages,acid attacks,dowry deaths everyday in scores.The thing with siya is it was not gendered attack. If her fiance was a woman,-
I’m surprised to see more and more hijab/burkha in colleges than I used to see during our time. It should have been the other way round no? Are we moving forward or going backwards?
Absolutely amazing how Ozone layer heals and World pollution goes down and animals dance in joy anytime firecrackers are burst on a non-Hindu festival. 🤡
Anupama Chopra reviewed and said movie was bad.
People reviewed her review and said it was bad.
End of story, stop acting like she just brought home an Olympic gold and the nation is attacking a hero.
dhurandhar’s success is a bold realisation that the audience is intelligent now. they aren’t going to fall for your aman ki asha and raw ISI buddies narratives. they are ready for the truth and want nothing but the truth.
the propaganda of showing pakistan in a good light in the pretense of cinema won’t work now. directors will have to pull up their socks and bring scripts that resonate with the common man, cast actors based on their acting prowess and not their networking skills. a new, bold, fresh era of cinema begins. this is just the first step.
They have made Seher's age 16 to show how underage marriage is inappropriate, but instead of showing that, they are giving scenes like this where Mahid is standing so close to Seher, and also the flower blanket scene in yesterday's episode.
You might remember that a few years ago, in 2019, a film starring Akshay Kumar was released — Mission Mangal. The movie received widespread appreciation because it was based on a real-life story, and everyone loved it. The scenes were shown so convincingly on screen that while watching it, one felt like being a part of the Mars Mission team.
I also loved the film. But you may remember there was a scene where a woman scientist named Neha Siddiqui — shown as a religious (Muslim) woman — struggles a lot to find a place to live.
Everywhere she went looking for a rented house, the moment people learned about her religion, she was denied accommodation. I became very emotional watching that. I felt shocked that such a beautiful and talented scientist was refused a house. If you’ve seen the movie, you must have been shocked and angry too — and you should be.
Think about it: a scientist who works tirelessly for the country, and we show such discrimination toward her… how narrow-minded is that?
These thoughts were stuck in my head. After reaching home, I opened the internet and started searching about ISRO. That’s when I found out that ISRO provides apartments for all its scientists and engineers. After learning this, I felt puzzled — if ISRO provides official housing, why would a scientist look for a rented house in the first place?
Then I searched for Neha Siddiqui on Google — but she didn’t appear anywhere. After that I began checking the entire Mars Mission team to see what the real heroes actually looked like.
I went through the names of every member of the mission team, and I didn’t find a single scientist, engineer, or even technician named Neha Siddiqui.
Shocking, right? I felt the same — like a 440-volt shock. There wasn’t even a single Muslim man or woman in the actual team, yet the filmmakers introduced this plot under the name of creative liberty or freedom of expression, showing how a Muslim woman in India is denied a rental house, even if she’s an ISRO scientist.
And on the movie poster, they highlighted that same fictional character with the caption: ��Science Has No Religion.”
Yes — this is how slow poison is served. Bollywood knows it very well.
I cross-checked it myself, but how many people actually do that?
If #Dhurandhar was a South film, people would have been screaming “Bollywood should learn from south”
But the reality is simple, South doesn’t have the aukat to make a film this realistic and raw. Their actors survive on slow motion, not performance.
We muslims are 14% in India but enjoy 25% of subsidies but contribute only 2% to economy.
We are literally looting Indian taxes just like we did during Aurangazeb timing
The way Indian men rant about alimony, it almost sounds like they’re absolutely certain their marriage will crash and burn in the most toxic way possible. Are you already so aware of how unbearable you are that you’re pre-planning a bitter divorce where your wife can’t even stand the sight of you long enough to agree to a mutual, no-alimony exit? And if your wife isn’t earning, what does it say about you that you’re openly admitting you’d never care enough to make sure she isn’t left destitute because the relationship didn’t work?
What kind of warped logic is this where the possibility of an unreasonable alimony request pushes you to justify a criminal tradition like dowry? How fragile do you have to be to think “since divorce might be expensive, let me take payment in advance for marrying a woman”? It’s completely deranged.
Ranbir Kapoor’s fans are saying that this was shot before the Ramayana shooting started, Ranbir himself said in 2023 that he has quit smoking, alcohol, and non vegetarian food.
One of the most impactful moments from #Haq , the Shah Bano biopic.
Shah Bano should have been one of India’s biggest feminist icons, a woman who stood up for dignity and basic justice, her fight was for nothing more than fair maintenance guaranteed by the Constitution. But her name was buried under religious appeasement, political cowardice, and actual patriarchy.
And the biggest irony is that the same modern feminists who celebrate alimony, maintenance, and property rights as empowerment suddenly go silent on Shah Bano. They won’t celebrate her or demand what she fought for, and what remains unfulfilled, because even they bow to the same religious bigotry that crushed her.
