Director Ritwik Pareek on ‘Dug Dug’: Inspired by a true story from my childhood

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai, The idea for “Dug Dug”, a satirical exploration of faith through a deceased man’s wish-granting motorbike and the growing cult around it, first came to Ritwik Pareek in his teenage years when he became fascinated with a real-life story. Director Ritwik Pareek on ‘Dug Dug’: Inspired by a true story from my childhood During a road trip to Mehrangarh Fort with his family, Pareek saw people offering prayers to the motorcycle at the Bullet Baba shrine between Jaipur and Jodhpur. “As a kid, you don’t have a choice, your parents take you wherever they want. I just went there and I remember I saw that temple on ‘Mano Ya Na Mano’ with Irrfan Khan… I revisited it around 2012. There was a Zee News story as well. So, the idea kept coming to me and eventually I thought, ‘That’s a nice story to make’. Initially, I wanted to make a documentary, but then I created my own story,” the Jaipur-born director told PTI in an interview. The film, which released in theatres on Friday, …

How tales of Chhatrapati Shivaji and Bajirao Peshwa inspired 9-year-old Anvi Hinge to become youngest Women’s Candidates Master in chess history | Chess News

Published by Webster

Deepak Hinge didn’t tell his nine-year-old daughter Anvi that he was hoping for the impossible. When they boarded the flight to Alicante, Spain last month, he believed that the Women’s Candidates Masters (WCM) title for Anvi was still a few flights away. Maybe a few months, or even a few years. The shared dream of making her the youngest WCM player ever felt just that: a dream. At the time, Anvi’s Elo rating was hovering around the early 1600s, nearly 200 points below the threshold required for the WCM title. Deepak’s judgment was based on realism. He was already proud of the progress his young daughter had made in her still-budding chess career and the trip to Spain’s southeastern port city felt just like another tournament for them. But over the next nine days, Anvi turned uncertainty into triumph. Punching above her weight and her age, she played some of her best chess, recording six wins and amassing 6.5 points from nine rounds. That performance earned her a staggering 175 rating points, enough to breach …
