Aditya Pancholi seeks quashing of Rape FIR; Next hearing on Feb 24

-
Veteran Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi returned to the spotlight on Thursday as the Bombay High Court took up his petition to quash a 2019 rape FIR lodged against him at the Versova Police Station in Mumbai. The case involves allegations made by a female Bollywood actress. Pancholi’s legal team, led by advocate Prashant Patil, urged the court to dismiss the FIR on grounds that it was filed many years after the alleged incident, describing the complaint as “malicious” and lacking in timely evidence. The plea cited legal precedent, notably the Supreme Court’s Bhajanlal judgment,  which allows quashing of criminal proceedings under specific circumstances. During Thursday’s hearing, the defence also presented a recording of a meeting prior to the FIR being filed, which they claim demonstrates “wrongful intention” behind the complaint. The court noted the submission but did not rule on its admissibility, opting instead to focus on procedural matters at this stage. A key point raised ...

Anthony Mackie Talks About The Difference Between Sam Wilson’s And Steve Rogers’ Captain America

-
Following Avengers: Endgame, the iconic character of Steve Rogers played by Chris Evans retired and the mantle of Captain America was passed on to the character of Sam Wilson played by Anthony Mackie. Steve gave the Captain America Shield to Sam and made him the rightful successor. Sam spent the greater part of the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier denying the shield saying that he is not ready for such a responsibility but when he noticed that nobody else could do it and Steve picked him for a reason, he accepted the burden in the series finale. Now, Sam Wilson is all set to fully take on the responsibility of being Captain America all by himself in the upcoming film Captain America: New World Order. This will be the first time that Sam Wilson's Captain America will be going solo and be the complete focus of a film with the shield. Actor Anthony Mackie who plays the character recently decided to talk about what sets Sam Wilson's Captain America apart from Steve Rogers' Captain America and really from all the superheroes in the MCU. Mackie pointed out that Sam is not actually a superhero; he has no powers and no gifts, rather he is just a regular man trying to do the right things with the tools that he has been given. His exact comments while speaking about it to Men's Journal were as follows: "Mine will be different. What you have to realize about Sam—he’s a superhero who is not really a superhero. There’s no secret serum. There’s no this or that. I just have wings on my suit that I got from the military. So everything that I do, I do as a common man. When you see me, you might think, “Oh, I can be a superhero, too.” Whereas if you look at Hulk or any of those guys, you can’t compete." In this way, Sam's Captain America is truly one for the people and he can see from the perspective of the common, the one he is trying to protect.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
