Suparn Verma is back with a solo theatrical release 12 years after his 2013 psychological horror film, Aatma. Since then, most of his work has been on streaming, whether it’s season 2 of Raj & DK’s The Family Man on Prime Video India, two seasons of Rana Naidu on Netflix India, or season 1 of The Trial on JioHotstar. “When I was doing feature films, everyone used to say I’m too Hollywood. Streaming wanted you to be international in your approach, so it freed me from all the labels and pressures,” Suparn tells SCREEN in an exclusive interview. But his new film, Haq, boasts of an identity poles apart from the international appeal he’s best known for delivering. Inspired from the landmark Shah Bano case in the 1980s, Haq is a courtroom drama that revolves around Shazia (Yami Gautam), a Muslim mother of three who goes to court to claim her right to monthly maintenance from her lawyer-ex-husband Abbas (Emraan Hashmi).

The result meant that DC continued their perfect start to the season with four wins in four, while RCB lose both their first two matches at home. KL Rahul masterclass After he hit the winning six, KL Rahul took his helmet off, drew a circle on the ground with his bat, planted it in the middle to mark his territory and, as he went to embrace Tristan Stubbs, mouthed the words: ‘This is …

Much before Nano, Ratan Tata steered success with Indica

Ratan Tata stands next to company’s modified version of ‘Indica’, which was first launched in December 1998. File | Photo Credit: S. Subramanium In the mid-1990s, the 26th and 27th floors of World Trade Centre (WTC) in Mumbai’s Cuffe Parade, were abuzz with excitement. The headquarters of Telco (as Tata Motors was then known as) were dealing with the transition of being not just a bulwark in the heavy commercial vehicles space, but also as an aspirational company selling cars. The Tata Estate, Sierra and Sumo brands were already available in the market. The last-named brand was a runaway winner and production lines in the factories at Pune were hurriedly tweaked to meet the excess demand. It was also a time when the management wanted to segregate the dealerships as a consumer buying trucks is obviously different from the one keen on cars. Ratan Tata’s mortal remains kept at NCPA lawns: LIVE updates One man shepherded the change, Ratan Tata, who was also equally caught up with his big idea at the time: the Indica. His people’s …

The young spinner was with the Rajasthan Royal Academy in Somerset, where the late Warne was there to interact with the trainees. Bashir caught his eye and took him aside for a chat. Siddartha Lahiri, head of coaching at RR Academy, remembers the exchange like it was yesterday. “Are you a spinner or a fast bowler?” asked the former Australian leg-spinner, according to Lahiri. “Spinner,” responded Bashir, who’s an offie.

Just spin the ball.” It was a lesson Bashir put to good use as he bowled a compact …
