3 min readMumbaiJun 25, 2026 09:12 PM IST Sense and Sensibility trailer: It seems to be raining Jane Austen adaptations in the past six years. The streak started with Autumn de Wilde’s 2020 period romantic comedy Emma, starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the titular role, in an adaptation of Austen’s 1815 novel of the same name. Next came Carrie Cracknell’s 2022 period romance Persuasion, starring Dakota Johnson, an adaptation of Austen’s 1817 novel. Netflix then announced a new series adaptation of Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, starring Emma Corrin, which will release later this year. And now, Focus Features has unveiled the trailer of its new Jane Austen adaptation, this time of her 1811 seminal debut novel Sense and Sensibility. What’s in the trailer? The trailer begins with the arrival of the will of Mr. Dashwood, a dead wealthy man, who much to his second wife’s surprise, hasn’t left any money for Mrs. Dashwood (Caitríona Balfe) and their three daughters — Elinor Dashwood (Daisy Edgar-Jones), Marianne (Esmé Creed-Miles), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Caitríona Balfe).

‘India made me an activist’: Jane Fonda recalls solo journey across the country | Hollywood News

2 min readNew DelhiMay 14, 2026 10:21 PM IST Jane Fonda, who is currently attending the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, recently reflected on a deeply personal chapter of her life — her solo journey across India that ultimately shaped her into the activist she is today. During an interaction with The Hollywood Reporter India, Fonda opened up about how travelling through India in her early thirties completely changed the direction of her life. She said, “When I was about 32, I went to India by myself. And it changed me. I travelled all through India alone on buses, and I also went to Nepal and Sikkim. I had never seen poverty before. I realised that I had a choice. India presented me with a choice — either I would become a hippie and go into an ashram, or I would become an activist and try to do something about poverty. And that’s when I became an activist.” Jane Fonda, now 88, made her first public appearance since the death of her former husband Ted Turner at …

Jane Street continues with its IIT hirings amid regulatory imbroglio

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI : Even as it battles India’s market regulator, high-frequency trading (HFT) firm Jane Street has made its presence felt at the country’s top institutes with marquee offers. The firm has hired students from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) campuses and could once again emerge as their highest-paying recruiter.

HFT and quant firms hire candidates who can analyze markets using mathematical and statistical models. Despite the global crests and troughs, this segment managed to recruit students from IITs for global postings at salaries that easily cross crore plus. Although Mint could not ascertain the exact amount that Jane Street has offered to the students, the package could be similar to the one for batch of 2025, which was slightly above …

‘It is a truth universally acknowledged….’ Jane Austen wrote the most perfect opening line – and we’ve been spoofing it ever since! | Books and Literature News

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Few opening lines in literature are as instantly recognisable—or as frequently parodied—as Jane Austen’s iconic opening sentence from Pride and Prejudice (1813). At first glance, it reads like a wry social decree, a tongue-in-cheek proclamation of Regency England’s marital economics, or, given the universality of the line, India’s arranged marriage tradition. The lofty phrasing Austen’s genius lies in cloaking subversion in propriety. The line’s lofty phrasing—”a truth universally acknowledged”—mimics the grand pronouncements of Enlightenment thinkers, only to undercut itself with the absurdity of its claim. Is it really a universal truth that every wealthy bachelor is desperate to marry? Or is this merely what society—particularly mothers with unmarried daughters—desperately wants to believe? Story continues below this ad The next sentence confirms the satire: “However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be… this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is …
