Impressed by Ramayana and Varanasi’s big budgets? Manoj Bajpayee calls the hype a ‘PR tactic’

Published by Webster

While fans are awaiting two of the biggest upcoming releases — Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana and Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi — much of the conversation around these films has centred on the massive budgets they are reportedly mounted on. Recently, critically acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee called out the trend and also schooled audiences for giving more importance to a film’s budget than its content. Manoj Bajpayee spoke about budget hype trend of films. ‘Promoting films on budget a PR tactic’ When asked about how the makers of Ramayana and Varanasi are promoting their films by highlighting their budgets, which run into hundreds and thousands of crores, Manoj told YouTube channel Kadak, “Woh ek PR ka zariya hota hai (This is a PR tactic), because this kind of talk have been happening from the last 15 years.” ‘Audience doesn’t get a rupee of this money’ Blaming the audience for hyping films based on their budgets and box office numbers, he said, “This has become so infectious that sometimes any audience member who meets me at the airport they …

Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Published by Parlour News

Delhi Capitals is not exactly a reliable franchise to support. If you are one of their fans, more often than not, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not a great experience, season in and season out. This season too, keeping in line with their performances over the years, they started well by winning their first two matches, but it didn’t take them long to come crashing down to the ground as they lost to Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings rather badly. But amid this see-saw, medium pacer Mukesh Kumar has been absolutely terrific. Mukesh Kumar has been simply outstanding this season. (PTI) There has not been a single game where Mukesh hasn’t left a good impression. In the team’s opening game against Lucknow Super Giants, he returned figures of 0/17 in three overs. Against Mumbai Indians, he got rid of Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma early on and finished with 2/26 in three overs. Against GT, a match that they should have won, he was expensive with figures of 2/55, but he wasn’t entirely …

Trump’s ultimatum and ‘escalate to de-escalate’ tactic will not work with Iran

Trump’s ultimatum and ‘escalate to de-escalate’ tactic will not work with Iran

Published by Parlour News

The Third Gulf War has entered a perilous phase, marked by a widening of targets and increasing risks, and has now evolved into a conflict that threatens the foundations of regional stability and global energy security. The stakes are high for India, and as Prime Minister Modi said in his address to Parliament on Monday, dialogue and diplomacy are the only way forward, and the country should remain prepared and united. The latest escalation in the war began with Israel’s attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, a critical asset that supplies most of Iran’s domestic gas. Tehran’s response was immediate and consequential. Within hours, it launched a missile strike on Ras Laffan in Qatar, the world’s largest LNG production hub, with long-term adverse effects on energy markets. The escalation deepened further last Saturday. Following an Israeli strike earlier that day on Iran’s enrichment facility in Natanz, Iran carried out one of its most significant retaliatory attacks on Israel. Two missiles penetrated Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system and struck areas near Dimona, which hosts …

Steven Gerrard, Arne Slot and the tactic shaping the Premier League title race

Steven Gerrard, Arne Slot and the tactic shaping the Premier League title race

Published by Webster

Last month, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard requested Arne Slot, his club’s incumbent manager, to stop complaining about “low block”. The phrase has recurred in most of Slot’s deconstruction of his team’s travails this season and a title defence scattered askance. But Slot dwelled on the phrase again, and retorted: “I can only agree with him, that I speak a lot about low blocks, because we face a lot of low blocks.” Gerrard’s contention was that teams defending deep in a compact shape is not a novel tactic. It has existed as long as the game itself, even though the phraseology has changed. From the blanket term “anti-football” to the more polished word of “catenaccio” and the gnomic “park the bus”, a term Jose Mourinho used rather derisively at an ultra-defensive Tottenham Hotspur in his earliest Chelsea avatar and which he himself later gloriously adopted to vivisect Barcelona’s tiki taka, defensive football has worn different garbs. Each one, though, has its own nuances and uniqueness. Park the bus often connoted full-throttle and cynical defending with little …

Hours after 12 people were killed in a suicide attack outside a court in the Pakistani capital city, PM Sharif accused groups “active with Indian support” of being involved in the strike.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif | File Image India launched a scathing attack on Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif after he blamed “Indian-sponsored terror proxies”, without any proof, for the suicide attack outside a district court in Islamabad that killed at least 12 people and injured 27 others. Sharif blamed “Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies” for the Islamabad attack, as well as an attack on a cadet college near the border with Afghanistan, without offering any evidence. “Both attacks are the worst examples of Indian state terrorism in the region,” Sharif said, without any proof to back up his statement. India responded to Sharif’s remark by calling it a “predictable tactic” to “concoct false narratives against India” to deflect attention from its own problems, and termed the accusation as a “desperate diversionary ploy”. “India unequivocally rejects the baseless and unfounded allegations being made by an obviously …

Simon Katich on England’s possible ‘Bodyline’ tactic for Steve Smith in upcoming Ashes: ‘I would be surprised if it wasn’t the same plan’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former Australian batter Simon Katich has said that he would be surprised if England did not try to unsettle Steve Smith by using intimidatory tactics against him, similar to the ‘Bodyline’ series back in the day. The 50-year-old noted how New Zealand efficiently stopped the right-hander from scoring freely by using that tactic against him, adding that he expected England to take a cue from the Kiwis. Smith will lead Australia in the first Ashes Test against England at Perth on November 21, in the absence of regular captain Pat Cummins, who is looking to get fit in time for the second Test. “They [Stokes and McCullum] will have seen what New Zealand did to Steve Smith a few years ago so successfully in Australia”. Story continues below this ad “I would be surprised if that wasn’t the same plan. As soon as Steve Smith came to the crease there were fielders scattered everywhere. I hate to use the word ‘Bodyline’ but that’s exactly what it was, really,” Katich told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Ashes …

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has spoken out against teams using a certain tactic to counter their style of play and cause them to lose points. Liverpool, who have already won the league, have drawn eight and lost three of their 36 games, and Slot believes there is a specific reason behind those dropped points. “Teams got to know us better and tried to find answers to our playing style. But one of the things you cannot do anything about is that tactics are being used that have nothing to do with football,” said the Liverpool boss. “Delaying the start of the game, pretending you are injured, taking one minute for a free-kick, one minute for a throw-in. That is my main worry. Every time we drop points, that happened… goalkeepers taking one and a half minutes. When we have dropped points, that tactic was used. I like to say it now after winning the league, not losing a game.” Story continues below this ad Slot chose to speak on time wasting in the Premier League …

Lucknow Super Giants at the start of the season looked like the promising team to make the playoffs; however, in the last few games before the break, due to tensions between India and Pakistan, the side has been on a downward spiral. The poor results have also coincided with Nicholas Pooran’s poor form after starting the season we. “The biggest blow has been Pooran going out of form. Lucknow was continuously winning matches when Pooran was playing. Their problems have increased after Pooran’s bat went silent. Since the time the bowlers have come up with the tactic to bowl full and get him out lbw or bowled, it has become a huge cause for concern,” Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif analyzed on Star Sports. “Pooran was winning matches single-handedly at the start, although Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh also played well. In the first half, Nicholas Pooran was hitting sixes no matter where you bowled the ball, and he has an average of 12 in the second half. He has been able to score only …
