Vijay’s arithmetic falters, majority mark still out of reach, Saturday’s swearing-in called off | Political Pulse News

3 min readChennaiMay 9, 2026 01:39 AM IST First published on: May 8, 2026 at 11:23 PM IST What seemed like a done deal for Vijay’s TVK hit a speed bump on Friday evening as Tamil Nadu’s already volatile government-formation drama took another turn. For much of the day, TVK leaders and supporters believed the party had effectively crossed the 118-seat majority mark, with support from the Congress, CPI, CPI(M), and the expected backing of the VCK and IUML. Firecrackers burst outside Vijay’s Panayur residence, and party workers spoke openly of a swearing-in ceremony on Saturday morning. Then the arithmetic began wobbling again. VCK chief Thirumavalavan, who had publicly said his party would follow the Left parties’ decision on supporting TVK, had still not submitted a formal letter of support to Governor Rajendra Arlekar late into Friday night, leaving Vijay’s camp technically short of a majority. Sources in the Governor’s office said Vijay had only 116 MLAs on record in the meeting on Friday evening. The delay triggered fresh speculation across political circles, where rumours …

Cheekatilo movie review: Sobhita Dhulipala film questions society for enabling abuse, but falters in places

Cheekatilo movie review: Sobhita Dhulipala film questions society for enabling abuse, but falters in places

Published by Parlour News

Cheekatilo Cast: Sobhita Dhulipala, Viswadev Rachakonda, Chaitanya Visalakshmi, Esha Chawla, Jhansi, Aamani, Vadlamani Srinivas, Ravindra Vijay Director: Sharan Koppisetty Rating: ★★.5 After playing the streetsmart Tara Khanna in Prime Video’s Made in Heaven, Sobhita Dhulipala is back on the OTT platform with a film this time. Her character, Sandhya Nelluri, is every bit as refreshingly Telugu as she is in Cheekatilo, a crime thriller with an interesting idea. However, in a bid to make social commentary on a sensitive subject, it inadvertently sends out mixed messaging. A film like this needed more sensitivity and nuance, but what we get feels performative. Cheekatilo movie review: Sobhita Dhulipala plays a podcaster covering a true crime case. Cheekatilo story Sandhya Nelluri (Sobhita Dhulipala) quits a Neralu Ghoralu-style TV show to kickstart a podcast from a dusty room in her home. She wants to report crime with facts and sensitivity, instead of turning it into a spectacle for the audience. Poised to be married to her boyfriend, Amar (Vishwadev Rachakonda), Sandhya is on the precipice of happiness. Except, an …

Last Updated:November 10, 2025, 09:10 IST In August, nearly 75 per cent of Indian applicants seeking study permits were rejected, compared with just 32 per cent a year earlier The number of active study permits held by Indian nationals fell from 3,19,000 in 2023 to 2,26,000 in 2024—the steepest annual decline in over a decade. (AI-Generated Image) If you had pinned your hopes on Canada after the end of the American dream, you might have to think again. Canada is preparing to implement one of the most extensive immigration control measures in its modern history, marking a significant shift in a country that has long been viewed as one of the world’s most open destinations for migrants and international students. The federal government’s proposed Bill C12, tabled in Parliament as part of its new border legislation, will give immigration authorities broad powers to suspend or cancel entire groups of temporary visas, including by country or applicant category, if certain conditions arise. Publicly, officials have said the measures will be reserved for emergencies such as pandemics …

Single Salma review: Huma Qureshi’s journey of self-discovery is a Queen-like setup, falters in being a fresh watch

Single Salma review: Huma Qureshi’s journey of self-discovery is a Queen-like setup, falters in being a fresh watch

Published by Parlour News

Single Salma could easily pass off as a distant cousin to Kangana Ranaut’s 2013 film Queen. Both films revolve around a woman on the brink of marriage who heads abroad, rediscovers herself, and realises that self-worth and marital status need not be intertwined. But here’s the real question: does Single Salma manage to regurgitate that tried and tested formula successfully? Single Salma movie review: Huma Qureshi plays the titular Salma in the Queen-like film. Movie Review Single Salma 2.5/5 Salma struggles between duty and desire after a trip to London changes her life.  Director Nachiket Samant  Cast Huma Qureshi, Sunny Singh, Shreyas Talpade Verdict Single Salma has its heart in the right place but not enough freshness in its suitcase.

Rajasthan’s Royal collapse: Needed 25 off 18 balls, Rahul Dravid’s side falters at finish line again | Ipl News

Creating history as a 14-year-old debutant, Vaibhav Suryavanshi impresses but RR snatch another defeat from the jaws of victory. Nine runs needed from six balls. That was the equation for the Rajasthan Royals in their last two matches. At Kotla, a few days ago, they came undone by Mitch Starc’s fine last over, albeit still managing to force a Super Over and losing in the tiebreaker. In Jaipur on Saturday, they come undone even worse. Chasing 181, RR fell short by 2 runs against Lucknow Super Giants to suffer their sixth defeat of the season and remain rooted to the bottom half of the table. Avesh shines, RR collapse When 25 runs were needed off 18 balls, and Yashasvi Jaiswal was still batting at 74, RR were in cruise control. Avesh Khan’s night till then had not gone well; he had conceded 26 runs off his first two overs, but with the first ball of the 18th over, he fired in a full delivery, zoning in on the middle stump. Jaiswal, who had batted like …

Thandel review: Naga Chaitanya commandeers film that works best as a love story; falters otherwise

Thandel review: Naga Chaitanya commandeers film that works best as a love story; falters otherwise

Published by Parlour News

Thandel movie review: It has been a while since Tollywood delivered a love story that makes you warm and fuzzy. Chandoo Mondeti’s Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi-starrer Thandel is a mixed bag, but one can’t fault it when it comes to the love story. The film starts well, falters, but thankfully finds its footing again. (Also Read: Naga Chaitanya reacts as Sobhita Dhulipala looks forward to him ‘finally shaving beard’ after Thandel release) Thandel review: Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya plays Satya and Raju in the film. Thandel story Raju (Chaitanya) and his bujji thalli (loved one) Satya (Pallavi), are childhood sweethearts who dream of a future together. The only issue? Because they hail from Matchilesam near Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh, Raju is a fisherman away from home for fishing 9 months a year near Gujarat. Rare phone calls filled with longing, a flag at the lighthouse signifying his absence, and falling asleep in each other’s arms when he does come home, Raju and Satya make every minute count. But a broken promise and fishing …
