Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi on Tuesday said that efforts to curb Naxalism in India cannot be attributed to a single government but it was a collective effort. Speaking to ANI, Chaturvedi accused the present regime of claiming sole credit for ending Naxalism and termed it “unfortunate.” “The action against Naxalism began during the UPA era, and now they are trying to take credit for its end.

Pankaj Tripathi says OTT platforms are curbing artistic freedom, recalls when he was stopped from improvising

Pankaj Tripathi has raised a concern that has been floating around film sets for a while. He said the space that once promised freedom is now full of checks, approvals and second-guessing. Pankaj Tripathi talked about how OTT space has shifted in just a few years. The comments came during a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, where he spoke about how the OTT environment has shifted in just a few years. Why Pankaj Tripathi avoided big OTT platforms for his new project Tripathi said his team released Perfect Family, his first major production, on YouTube purposely. For them, no major platform meant no long approval route. He pointed out that every large OTT service now brings “layers of interference,” from creative heads to legal reviews to production audits. According to him, picking YouTube was a way to tell a story without committees weighing in. “They decide who will oversee the script… then production value is questioned,” he said. For him, the open platform gave the team a clearer route to finishing the series the way they …

* Beijing bites back at US tariffs by curbing Hollywood imports China restricts Hollywood imports in response to US tariffs * Hollywood’s share in China’s box office drops to 5% * Domestic films dominate China’s box office, accounting for 80% of revenue BEIJING, – China said on Thursday it would immediately restrict imports of Hollywood films in retaliation for President Donald Trump’s escalation of U.S. tariffs on imported Chinese goods, targeting one of the most high-profile American exports. Industry analysts said the financial impact was likely to be minimal, however, because Hollywood’s box office returns in China have declined significantly in recent years. After three decades during which China imported 10 Hollywood movies per year, Beijing’s National Film Administration said Trump’s tariff actions would further sour domestic demand for U.S. cinema in China. “We will follow market rules, respect the audience’s choices, and moderately reduce the number of American films imported,” the NFA said on its website. Hollywood studios once looked to China, the world’s second-largest film market, to help boost box office performance of …
