The Voice of Hind Rajab movie review: A potent anti-war statement, if ever there was one | Movie-review News

4 min readUpdated: Jun 19, 2026 09:25 AM IST The Voice of Hind Rajab movie review: Some films come carrying so much weight that they become hard to bear. Some films become testaments to their time. The Voice of Hind Rajab is one that does both: it lets us in on the agony of a small child left alone in the back of a car, her family members murdered, calling for help; it also asks us to bear witness. Director Kaouther Ben Hania first heard the clip in which a five-year-old girl is heard sobbing, saying she is afraid of the dark, asking for help. The voice belonged to Hind Rajab who was travelling with her aunts, uncles and cousin in the Gaza strip when the car was strafed by Israeli forces. Everyone in the car is dead, the cousin is grievously injured: we learn that the latter dies too, leaving the terrified Hind hiding as best as she could behind the backseat. When the volunteers of the Palestine Red Crescent Society realise the gravity …

IPL 2024, SRH vs RR: Explosive batting meets potent bowling as Sunrisers Hyderabad face off against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Among the three teams remaining in contention as IPL 2024 moves into the last two matches, Kolkata Knight Riders seem the most balanced, while Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals have utilised specific strengths to overcome certain weaknesses throughout the campaign. All three teams have charted their unique paths to reach this point in the race. Of course, KKR’s batting depth and host of match-winners have booked them an early slot in the final. Find the boundary, and often Six-hitting has emerged as one of the key metrics in a season that has threatened to tip the scales in the game. Scoring rapidly has been a bigger objective than preserving wickets. Royal Challengers Bengaluru scored the most runs in the tournament while losing the most wickets. Knocked out by a relatively under-performing batting unit in RR in the Eliminator, RCB are still one of three teams to score over 10 runs per over in the season, the others two being KKR and SRH. Sunrisers have best limited the percentage of dot balls (30.21) while batting and …

Published by Parlour News

The United States is crumbling in Alex Garland’s sharp new film “ Civil War, ” a bellowing and haunting big screen experience. The country has been at war with itself for years by the time we’re invited in, through the gaze of a few journalists documenting the chaos on the front lines and chasing an impossible interview with the president.
