How much do you think it’ll open at?’” Samantha Ruth Prabhu wrote. “The exhibitor didn’t hesitate. ‘Why would anyone watch a heroine film? If she’s in a big hero’s film, fine. People know her for the glamour. But a film led by a heroine? Who will come? Nobody.’” The actor said that exchange captured the perception Maa Inti Bangaram was up against before its release. “That was the perception before Maa Inti Bangaram released,” she wrote.

When the MGR Chennai Central–Bhubaneswar Superfast Express pulled into the Bhubaneswar railway station on the morning of June 27, Sari Juang, along with her two younger sisters, had just cheated death by a mile.

Sari and her sisters Sasmita and Ratni were witness to the death and destruction caused by the gas leak that tore through the seafood plant, killing their co-workers, mostly women and minor girls from Odisha.

On June 9, 2026, the Returning Officer for the Rajya Sabha elections decided to invalidate Ms. Natarajan’s nomination on the grounds of non-disclosure of a pending criminal case in her Form 26 affidavit. The procedural dispute over an election affidavit has now spiralled into a narrative battle, exposing organisational deficiencies within the Congress, showcasing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) agility, and giving the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) fresh ammunition against the ruling Congress in the State. Despite approaching the top court and the Election Commission of India, Ms. Natarajan has not got any relief.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi humiliating great bowlers exposes cricket’s systemic ills: Greg Chappell

Published by Webster

4 min readJun 8, 2026 09:02 PM IST While there is reason to celebrate the sheer brilliance of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, one must also look at how the teenager’s effortless evisceration of some of the most accomplished bowlers exposes a worrying direction that cricket is headed towards, according to former Australia captain Greg Chappell. Chappell, considered one of the greatest batters of all time and India’s head coach from 2005 to 2007, said that Sooryavanshi’s success shows that “the modern environment has been engineered to make bowling extinct”. Chappell admitted that he is mightily impressed with Sooryavanshi, comparing the teenager to some of the greats of the game. “In his elegant downswing and flawless balance, there are distinct echoes of the great Graeme Pollock and the incomparable Sir Garfield Sobers. When he slashes across the line or lofts over extra cover, one glimpses the ferocious, instinctive genius of Brian Lara, combined with the devastating, ball-one intent of Adam Gilchrist,” said Chappell in his column for ESPNCricinfo. “It is a classic, pure method being deployed with contemporary …

According to civic records, 1,023 shops and establishments have so far been issued notices under the drive started on May 14. Violations attract …

Sunil Gavaskar exposes scouting trap of IPL that burned crores of the franchises: ‘Sold them a dummy’

Published by Parlour News

Sunil Gavaskar has warned IPL franchises against being carried away by performances in state and city leagues, arguing that several big hitters from those competitions were exposed once they faced the higher standard of bowling in the IPL. Sunil Gavaskar was not happy with the IPL teams buying in on local league hype. (Deepak Salvi) The former India captain said the gap between smaller T20 leagues and the IPL remains significant, and franchises risk wasting money if their scouting systems are influenced by hype, agents, and isolated performances rather than repeatable skills. “A lot of the big hitters in the various State and city leagues that have sprouted up were exposed when faced with the international quality of bowling in the IPL,” Gavaskar wrote in his Sportstar column. His criticism was aimed at the growing auction trend of franchises investing heavily in players who dominate local T20 circuits but are not always ready for the intensity, pace, variation and tactical scrutiny of the IPL. “Scouts and advisers have sold them a dummy”: Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar …
