“New beginnings”: Tara Sutaria moves into her first house, shares glimpse of elegant Mumbai abode

-
Actor Tara Sutaria has marked a significant personal milestone by purchasing her first home in Mumbai. Sharing the news with her followers on social media, the actress offered a glimpse into her new space, describing the move as the beginning of a new chapter in her life. Posting a series of photographs from inside the house, Tara wrote, “To new beginnings.. / To endless laughter and love in my first home and to embracing 2026 with arms wide open.” The images reflect a tastefully designed home with warm lighting, neutral tones, and a blend of vintage and contemporary décor. One of the pictures shows Tara dressed in an elegant ivory sari, seated with folded hands beside a large arrangement of white flowers placed in a silver urn. The living area features a wooden coffee table, upholstered seating, and softly lit display shelves adorned with framed photographs, books, vinyl records, and decorative artefacts. A chandelier adds a classic touch to the space. Another wide-angle photograph...

‘Demolishing democracy’: how much danger does Christian nationalism pose?

Documentary Bad Faith looks at the history of a group trying to affect and corrupt politics under the guise of religion

Bad Faith, a new documentary on the rise of Christian nationalism in the United States, opens with an obvious, ominous scene – the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 – though trained on details drowned out by the deluge of horror and easily recognizable images of chaos. That Paula White, Donald Trump’s faith adviser, led the Save America rally in a prayer to overturn the results for “a free and fair election”. That mixed among Trump flags, American flags and militia symbols were numerous banners with Christian crosses; on the steps of the Capitol, a “JESUS SAVES” sign blares mere feet from “Lock Them UP!”

The movement to overturn the 2020 election for Donald Trump was, as the documentary underscores, inextricable from a certain strain of belief in America as a fundamentally Christian nation, separation of church and state be damned. In fact, as Bad Faith argues, Christian nationalism – a political movement to shape the United States according a certain interpretation of evangelical Christianity, by vote or, more recently, by coercion – was the “galvanizing force” behind the attempted hijacking of the democratic process three years ago.

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...
