He handed the reins to a young director, known only for a remake, and gave him a story that set out to change the syntax of commercial storytelling. For Yash Raj Films, this was unfamiliar territory. It had none of the soft-focus charm of their romantic sagas. There was no moral compass pointing north. Not even NRI nostalgia to cushion the fall. At its heart, it was about thieves, beneath the ever-watchful eye of capitalism’s glimmering tower, stealing not for malice, but for meaning. Many might think this is about Dhoom, with its bikes, its pace, its swagger. That’s another story for …

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court proposed an order stating that properties declared as waqf, including those designated as “waqf by user”, would not be de-notified. The Centre opposed this suggestion and requested a hearing before any such directive is issued. The new law passed by Parliament states that existing “waqf by user” properties registered …
