The back-to-back success of films like Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise , SS Rajamouli's RRR and Yash-starrer KGF Chapter 2 has triggered the North Vs South films debate in the country. The Hindi dubbed versions of these movies have contributed a major chunk to their smashing box office collection. On the other hand, the recent Bollywood flicks; some even featuring popular stars have failed to make a mark at the box office. At the launch event of the new trailer of Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Dhaakad , the actress shared her opinion on this topic. The actress said that this debate amid industries is dividing the stars of the two regions, which is incorrect. She believes that instead of fighting amongst themselves, the North and the South Industry should unit and collectively compete against the Hollywood films. Kangana called herself the 'biggest cheerleader' of South movies and said that it was she who started the topic that our regional cinema should … [Read more...] about Kangana Ranaut On North Vs South Debate: What We Have To Do Collectively Is To Fight Against Hollywood

Ukraine’s Jewish Community Fights Back Against Russia’s Invasion — and Against Putin’s Lies
DNIPRO, Ukraine — Before the war, Rabbi Meyr Stambler never broke Shabbat and never lied to his wife, with whom he had lived for 28 years. Now he has done both. If there is an emergency, like evacuations, he will answer his phone on Saturdays. In the early days of the Russian invasion, he sent his wife Sarah, his ten children, and his three grandkids to Israel, promising he would join them in a few days. But he lied. He never meant to leave Ukraine. Rabbi Stambler, the Chairman of the Chabad-affiliated Council of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine, came to Dnipro from New York in 1991. He was nineteen years old. He has lived here ever since. He considers himself Ukrainian. “On average I sleep three hours per day,” he says. “Now I can devote all my time to helping my community without being worried for my family. I decided it was time for them to flee after the nuclear power plant in Zaporizzhya region — 130 miles away — was overtaken by Russians troops in the early … [Read more...] about Ukraine’s Jewish Community Fights Back Against Russia’s Invasion — and Against Putin’s Lies
The Kids in the Hall Are Back — Older, Slightly Less Angry and Still Incredibly F–king Funny
It starts with one of them casually saying, “Write what you know” — it may be Mark McKinney, slightly leaning back in his chair and staring at the ceiling, or it might be Bruce McCulloch, who’s wandering around the conference room, checking his phone as it charges and idly munching on a pastry. Whoever said it first, it’s definitely Kevin McDonald who quickly jumps in and, as if on cue, immediately chants, “Write what you know!” He says it again, at which point Dave Foley joins in as well. “Write what you know!” “Write what you know!” McKinney and McCulloch, both grinning, start singing along as well: “Write what you know! Write what you know! Write what you know!” Scott Thompson is too busy laughing to harmonize at first, until he finally composes himself, clears his throat, and then beautifully bellows out, in the most operatic tenor imaginable: “Wriiiiite! Whaaat! Yoooouuuu! Knoooooowwwwwwww !!!” Minutes before, the legendary sketch-comedy quintet the Kids in the Hall had … [Read more...] about The Kids in the Hall Are Back — Older, Slightly Less Angry and Still Incredibly F–king Funny
How Joe Cole Went From ‘Peaky Blinders’ to Thai-Prison Kickboxer
There’s a scene in A Prayer Before Dawn , the film adaptation of Billy Moore’s prison memoir, in which the convict hits rock bottom. An Englishman incarcerated in a rough Thai jailhouse dubbed the “Bangkok Hilton,” he’s strung out on drugs and has nearly killed a man. Before Moore was a prisoner, however, he was a bare-knuckle brawler. So, in the hopes of finding a reason to stay alive, he visits the facility’s gym and pleads his case to the Muay Thai team’s skeptical trainer. “I want to box,” he insists. “I’m a boxer. Just let me show you … I can fight. I need to fight.” The urgency of the moment comes courtesy of the young man playing Moore: a 29-year-old actor named Joe Cole. You may not know the name, but you’ve seen his face in movies like Green Room and Thank You For Your Service; in four seasons of the cult-TV crime drama Peaky Blinders; and the Black Mirror episode “Hang the DJ.” There’s something of his personal ethos in that scene that makes it stick out as … [Read more...] about How Joe Cole Went From ‘Peaky Blinders’ to Thai-Prison Kickboxer
