Urging the top court to “save democracy” and intervene to ensure fair special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by the Election Commission keeping in mind the fact that people alive have been declared dead by the poll panel. She once referred to the poll panel as the “WhatsApp commission”, in an apparent reference to the directions being allegedly passed by the EC to the electoral officials on WhatsApp. Banerjee, who was represented by senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Shyam Divan, sought the nod of a bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant to personally advance her submissions. She said her state was not getting justice anywhere and despite having written six letters to the poll panel on SIR, she has not received any reply. “Their SIR process is only for …

The Taj Story movie review: This Paresh Rawal-led courtroom drama argues loudly but proves little | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

The Taj Story movie review: Headlined by Paresh Rawal, The Taj Story is yet another film that seeks to reinterpret Indian history as well as rewrite textbooks. Rawal plays Vishnu Das, an Agra-based tourist guide who files a petition questioning the historical proof that Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal. He demands to know on what basis the monument’s story found its way into school textbooks and calls for an excavation to uncover what lies beneath the marble structure. Though conceived as an intense courtroom drama, writer-director Tushar Amrish Goel’s film turns into a collage of conspiracy theories that have circulated for years about the Taj’s origins. The script repeatedly mentions the 22 sealed rooms under the monument, fanning old suspicions. Rawal’s Das swiftly transforms from a disgraced guide into a persuasive lawyer, arguing before a High Court bench that the Taj Mahal was once a Hindu king’s palace, later taken over by Shah Jahan and converted into a mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal. He insists that “facts” have been sacrificed to craft a romantic legend. …

One of Chennai Super Kings’ most in-form batters, Dewald Brevis, became the center of a huge DRS controversy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M Chinnaswamy stadium on Saturday. Brevis, facing Lungi Ngidi on his very first ball, incurred a golden duck after being given LBW by the on-field umpire.

However, the South African was left heartbroken after being told that the time to review the call had run out. As the ball hit his pads, it looked like it was going down the leg side, yet Brevis took his time and held a discussion with the non-striker Jadeja before signaling DRS.

Shubman Gill was involved in a heated interaction with the umpire following a controversial dismissal during the IPL 2025 encounter between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Gill looked in brilliant form as he slammed a sensational half-century to provide GT with a near-perfect start. However, on the final ball of the 13th over, he was run-out for 76 off just 38 deliveries. Jos Buttler played a delivery from Zeeshan Ansari towards short fine leg and went for a quick single. However, Harshal Patel quickly collected the ball and his throw crashed into the stumps with Gill well short of his crease. The replays left the third umpire confused as it was not certain whether the stumps were disturbed by the ball or the wicket-keeper’s gloves. But, the third umpire was ultimately convinced and ruled in SRH’s favour. Shubman Gill was given a run out.
