Cover-Up review – atrocity exposer Seymour Hersh, journalist legend, gets a moment in the spotlight

-
Hersh’s record on uncovering the big stories, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib, speaks for itself. This documentary watches him at work: dogged, nonconformist and combative Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was never played in a film by Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman, like the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. But as this documentary portrait argues, he’s probably more important than either. Hersh has a longer record of breaking big stories, from the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to torture by US army personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq – the latter a historic scoop underscored by the stomach-turning photos which Hersh brought to light. Hersh is asked if Abu Ghraib would have been the story it was without those pictures and replies: “No pictures, no story.” Well, maybe. But his other scoops had no pictures of this kind. One incidental thing Abu Ghraib showed was how ubiquitous digital photography became at the beginning of the century; how easy it was to take...

Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth REVEALED as he makes debut on 2024 Hurun India Rich List

-

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, known affectionately as the King of Bollywood, has made a significant stride in his financial journey by securing his place on the prestigious 2024 Hurun India Rich List. At the age of 58, Khan's estimated wealth stands at an impressive Rs 7,300 crore.

Shah Rukh Khan's Business Ventures Drive Wealth Khan's inclusion in the list is primarily attributed to his strategic investments in various ventures, including the Kolkata Knight Riders cricket team and the production company Red Chillies Entertainment. These ventures have played a pivotal role in boosting his overall wealth. Social Media Dominance Beyond his financial success, Khan also holds the distinction of being the most followed individual on the Rich List, with a massive following of 44.1 million on Twitter. This surpasses all other billionaires and celebrities on the list, solidifying his position as a social media powerhouse.

Khan's journey to this point has not been without its challenges. As Juhi Chawla, his frequent co-star and co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, recalled, Khan once faced financial difficulties so severe that he had to part with his car due to unpaid EMIs.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Khan is gearing up for the highly anticipated film Tiger vs Pathaan, where he will share screen space with Salman Khan. This marks their full-fledged collaboration since their blockbuster hit Karan Arjun. While an official announcement regarding the project is yet to be made, fans are eagerly awaiting the clash of these two iconic superstars. Besides this, SRK also has Sujoy Ghosh’s King in the pipeline. The upcoming film will reportedly star his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan as the antagonist.

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...
