Argentina’s hero, against a team that doesn’t believe in heroes

Argentina’s hero, against a team that doesn’t believe in heroes

As Lautaro Martinez sprinted towards the corner flag to celebrate his 92nd-minute winner against England, he was embraced by none. Where did the Argentines vanish? They were surrounding the man who supplied the cross instead. Lionel Messi. Their captain. Their compass. Their god among mortals. The players gravitated towards the same figure again after the full-time whistle, this time hoisting Messi onto their shoulders as the stadium sang: “Que de la mano, de Leo Messi, todos la vuelta vamos a dar.” (“Hand in hand with Leo Messi, we’re all going to celebrate the victory.”) The dressing room echoed the sentiment. “Por la última de Leo, Argentina, quiero verte bicampeón.” (For Leo’s last one, Argentina, I want to see you become a two-time champion) The players reinforced the chant in words. Alexis Mac Allister wants to be a world champion again — not for his own happiness, but Messi’s. “Making Leo feel happy is the most important thing.” Argentina’s Alexis Mac Allister (20) celebrates with teammate Lionel Messi (10) after scoring his side’s opening goal during …

10 heroes, 58 sets, Rs 5 cr VFX: The insane, forgotten scale of cult disaster Jaani Dushman | Bollywood News

Armaan Kohli, son of veteran filmmaker Rajkumar Kohli, made his acting debut in the early 1990s, but could never prove his worth as a leading star. He faced a string of flops throughout the decade, including three films helmed by his father — Virodhi (1992), Aulad Ke Dushman (1993), and Qahar (1997). In order to break out of this spell of box office failures, Rajkumar decided to relaunch Armaan in a film with which he went back to what got him success in the first place — multi-starrers and the supernatural. Rajkumar Kohli got his directorial breakthrough two-and-a-half decades before that with his 1976 horror film Naagin. Emerging as the highest grossing Hindi film of that year, it boasted of an ensemble A-list cast, including Reena Roy, Sunil Dutt, Feroz Khan, Jeetendra, Sanjay Khan, Rekha, Mumtaz, Kabir Bedi, Vinod Mehra, Anil Dhawan, Yogeeta Bali, and Aruna Irani, among others. He followed that up with another multi-starrer blockbuster supernatural film, Jaani Dushman, in 1979. That film also boasted of a galaxy of film stars — Sunil …
