EC asks NIA to ensure bombs not used to disrupt Bengal polls on Wednesday

Ahead of phase two of polling in West Bengal, the Election Commission has asked the National Investigation Agency to ensure bombs are not used by miscreants to disrupt voting and target workers of political parties, poll authority officials said on Tuesday. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has banned all victory processions from political parties during or after the declaration of poll results on May 2. (File Photo) The directive comes after recovery of crude bombs in the poll-bound state and reports of a minor blast. While the phase one of polls in the state took place on April 23, the second phase will be held Wednesday. EC officials said the poll body is taking stringent measures to prevent any poll-day or post-poll violence in West Bengal. On April 26, police recovered crude bombs from the house of a person, allegedly a TMC worker, at Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district. Later, on a directive by the Union Home Ministry, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case to probe the recovery of 79 crude …

It will secure a Clean Hit verdict by next week. It may not look like an F1 The Movie or a Project Hail Mary, but with these holds, it can certainly have a solid run. Initially, Rs. 20 crore appeared to be the likely finish point, but now it could probably go for Rs. 30 crore or more, which would be an excellent outcome …

‘Dhurandhar released on Thursday, we delivered final shot on Wednesday night’: Inside the world of VFX, budget constraints | Bollywood News

“Earlier, you could almost discount VFX and still have a complete film. But now, it has become a fundamental part of storytelling,” says Arpan Gaglani, co-Founder and Managing Director of one of the industry’s prominent VFX and animation studios, philmCGI. They have worked on several major films and series, most recently on both parts of Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. When asked to explain, what the job of a VFX supervisor essentially entails, he tells in an exclusive chat with SCREEN: “What we bring to the table are elements that aren’t visible on set, things that don’t even exist in the real world. We create them, enabling the director’s vision, helping them to build entirely new worlds. Whether it’s something like say a Pandora in Avatar, or recreating a specific era, like the world we built for Jubilee, VFX plays a much larger role in the overall filmmaking process. Not only there but also in daily soaps, advertisements, we play an integral part to assist the process and get what isn’t possible on a live set.”  Budget …
