Makkal Kaavalan: Manikandan’s upcoming cop actioner blurs the lines between ordinary man and people’s protector

Makkal Kaavalan, starring Manikandan in the lead role, is an upcoming action drama co-produced by filmmaker Pa. Ranjith. Written and directed by Santhosh Kumar, the makers have unveiled the film’s first-look poster, featuring the Kudumbasthan actor as an intense officer. Makkal Kaavalan: Manikandan takes on brooding role as police officer Makkal Kaavalan follows a simple man determined to live with dignity until a corrupt system leaves him with only two choices: surrender or resist. What begins as one man’s fight for survival gradually grows into something much larger, forcing him to become a leader he never intended to be. As the conflict intensifies, the cost of resistance continues to rise, and the line between an ordinary man and a people’s protector begins to fade. Here’s the first look: Speaking about the film, Manikandan said, “Makkal Kaavalan is a unique action drama rooted in cultural and ethnic disputes. The originality and honesty in the script gave me every reason to take it up. The film is gripping, intense, and highly relevant to today’s world. I was …

Satluj row: Khalra’s wife Paramjit Kaur urges Akal Takht to form ‘People’s Commission’

Paramjit Kaur Khalra, wife of slain human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, on Monday urged the Akal Takht to form a ‘People’s Commission’ to determine the actual number of people who went missing, the number of unidentified bodies, and those killed in alleged fake police encounters in Punjab during the ’80s and ’90s. Directed by Honey Trehan, ‘Satluj’ depicts the life of Khalra, who investigated the “illegal” cremation of thousands of “unidentified” bodies in Punjab between 1984 and 1994. (ANI/Representational) Kaur’s remarks followed renewed public attention on the Khalra case after the release, and subsequent takedown, of the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer film ‘Satluj‘ from ZEE5. The film earlier titled ‘Punjab ’95’ is based on the activist’s life. Notably, the Akal Takht, which is the supreme temporal seat of the Sikhs, will hold ‘ardas’ (prayers) on Tuesday for the eternal peace of those Sikh youths whose cases were brought to light by Khalra, and seek justice for the affected families. In a post on X in Punjabi, Kaur said that with Punjab preparing to gather on Tuesday …

Assembly election 2026 results LIVE: M.K. Stalin steps down as Tamil Nadu CM; ‘People’s will is supreme, we respect the mandate,’ says TMC’s Mahua Moitra

Kolkata: The BJP whitewashed the Trinamool Congress in nine of the 23 districts of West Bengal, racking up all 68 seats these regions had to offer on its way to paint the State saffron in the watershed election. As the party marched to power in the State for the first time, the mandate in these nine districts – from north Bengal’s hills to the central part of the south – has shown that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had correctly predicted in his campaign trail that TMC would fail to open its account in multiple districts. The BJP won 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal Assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule as it was decimated to around 80 in the 294-strong Assembly. The result also marked the BJP’s decisive breach of its last major eastern bastion, completing its saffron arc across ‘Anga, Banga and Kalinga’ (Bihar, Bengal and Odisha). At the very top of the BJP’s performance chart is the Purba Medinipur district, where its most prominent poll …
