BCCI threatens to cancel New Zealand tour over Lodha panel directives

October 4, 2016 by Nasheman

bcci

New Delhi:The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday reacted dramatically to the Justice R.M. Lodha Committee’s direction to banks to freeze its accounts, threatening to call off the remaining matches of New Zealand’s ongoing tour of India.

BCCI President Anurag Thakur has asserted that it may not be possible to hold the rest of the matches in the series, including one Test and five one-day matches as he is unable to withdraw any money since the banks have frozen their accounts completely.

“The only way the third Test in Indore can proceed is if the players and state association agree to participate without taking any fees, since the BCCI is not in a position to do financial transactions at all.

“It is shameful for Team India, who have recently claimed the top spot in the ICC Test rankings, and number two in the world Twenty20 rankings, to face this sort of financial restraint in front of the whole world. It is shameful that the board is being questioned for raising players’ salaries despite their impressive performances earning them top spot in the ICC Test rankings,” Thakur told the media.

“The BCCI has done a lot for Indian cricket over the years including successfully organising the Indian Premier League (IPL). I want to ask that has the BCCI not done anything for Indian cricket in order to bring it to the stage where it is now?” he added.

“Cricket cannot run without money. We don’t take money from the government. We are not allowed to make payments. I can’t say anything about the India-New Zealand series. We leave it to the respective state associations whether they can host the New Zealand matches, whether they are ready to organise the matches without any money.”

Thakur also stated that the Indian team may have to pull out of the Champions Trophy to be held in England next year if the recommendations by the Lodha panel are fully implemented.

According to the recommendations by the Lodha Committee, there has to be a 15-day window before and after the IPL. The Champions Trophy is scheduled from June 1-18 next year while the IPL is likely to end in the last week of May.

“I don’t know whether India will be able to play Champions Trophy or not. If you go by the Lodha Committee report you have to play either the IPL or the Champions Trophy. So BCCI has to take a call on that.

“There is the Australia series before the IPL and Champions Trophy after it. So the BCCI has to take a call whether they will play IPL or Champions Trophy,” Thakur said.

“We have let the International Cricket Council (ICC) know about India’s position. Rest is up to ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar.”

Justice Lodha however, criticised the BCCI’s stand, asserting that the panel has directed that enough funds should be available to conduct the daily administrative activities of the board and there is no question of discontinuing with the New Zealand series.

“I think that is not a fair reading by the BCCI. What we have directed is that the large amount of funds which is being disbursed to the state associations as per the BCCI meeting of September 30 must be put on hold. The BCCI has been directed to do that and we have given instructions to that effect only.

“We have not given any directions to the banks to freeze the BCCI’s accounts. The BCCI is free to deal with the accounts on routine matters including every issue related to the Indian team and its daily administrative matters,” Justice Lodha told a news channel.

“Our email was unequivocal and clear. I clarify that there is no constraint on the BCCI to deal with the bank accounts for the Indian team and routine administrative matters. The ongoing international calendar and international series and all other cricketing matters are routine matters for the board. They can deal with the bank accounts regarding these issues. This has been clarified to the banks also,” he added.

“There is no question of calling off the New Zealand tour.”

The Lodha panel was unhappy with the BCCI for missing the first deadline for implementing its recommendations. In its special general meeting (SGM) last week, the BCCI had agreed to adopt some of the recommendations, but the board is trying to avoid some of the key reforms, including removal of the entire top brass of the country’s apex cricket body.

The BCCI’s SGM also decided to release huge amounts as payments to its member associations, against the directions of the Lodha panel.

As a result, the Lodha panel issued a letter to the banks on Monday, urging them to not give BCCI access to funds. The letter, which was addressed to BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke, CEO Rahul Johri, treasurer Anirudh Choudhary and Rana Kapoor of Yes Bank, also talked about how the BCCI has openly breached the Supreme Court’s order.

“It has come to the notice of this Committee that certain decisions have been taken at the ‘Emergent Working Committee’ meeting of the BCCI on 30th September 2016 to disburse large funds to the various member associations.”

“As the status report is to be taken up for directions by the Hon’ble Court on Thursday, 6.10.2016, you are hereby directed not to take any steps towards financial disbursement of the amounts as resolved/approved after the direction dated 31.8.2016. Any violation of this direction will be placed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court for appropriate directions,” the letter stated.

“You are aware that by way of this Committee’s direction dated 31.8.2016, no further decisions were to be taken regarding the future apart from routine matters. The disbursement of these amounts are not routine, and in any case, not emergent,” the letter added.

“You are also aware that the BCCI has chosen to breach the judgement of the Supreme Court as well as the first set of timelines set out by this Committee which includes the Fund Disbursement policy to be framed by September 30.”

Karnataka yields to SC pressure; agrees to release water to TN till Oct 6

October 4, 2016 by Nasheman

cauvery-water

Bengaluru: A day after the Karnataka assembly passed a modified resolution to release water for farmers in the Cauvery Basin, the state on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it will implement the order to release 6,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu from October 1 to October 6.

Karnataka Counsel Fali Nariman stated that by October 6, Karnataka would have released an aggregate quantity of 36,000 cusecs to its neighbouring state.

On Monday, the Karnataka Assembly in its special session passed the resolution and argued that due to the increase of water in the four reservoirs of the basin from 27.6 tmc to 34.13 tmc, it decided to use water not only for drinking but farming purposes as well.

On September 23, the state legislature, citing acute shortage of water, had unanimously resolved to reserve waters of the Cauvery river for drinking purpose of the people in the state.

The apex court had on September 30 directed Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu from October 1 till October 6 and asked the CWMB to visit both states and file a report on the “ground realities” by October 6.

yusuf-arakkal

Bengaluru: Renowned figurative artist Yusuf Arakkal, who left a distinct impression of his own with his works, died at his residence here due to illness, his family said.

“My father has passed away,” the 70-year-old Bengaluru-based artist’s son Sibu Arakkal told PTI here.

Besides Sibu, Arakkal is survived by wife Sara Arakkal.

Born in 1945 in Kerala’s Chavakkad, Arakkal obtained a diploma in painting from Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat here.

His mother hailed from the only Muslim royal family which once ruled Kerala and his father belonged to Keyees, the well-known business family based at Kozhikode and Thalassery.

Driven by the passion to be a painter, he had left his home for Bengaluru.

His parents died when he was young and the hardships he faced during his struggle sharpened his sensibility and an artist in him, manifesting in his paintings that showed his deep concern for man and society.

Arakkal had done many works in different media including in canvases, sculptures with emphasis on tiger conservation.

Recently, he received the prestigious Lorenzo De Medici Gold Medal, at Florence Internazionale Biennale, in Florence, Italy, for his work Bacon’s Man with the Child and Priest.

The award is instituted in memory of the great Florentine statesman Lorenzo de Medici.

Arakkal was also recipient of several other awards including Karnataka Lalithkala Academy award in 1979 and 1981 and a national award in 1983.

Cauvery row: Nariman declines to represent Karnataka in SC

October 4, 2016 by Nasheman

fali-nariman

Bengaluru: Veteran lawyer Fali S Nariman has declined to represent Karnataka before the Supreme Court in the case on sharing of the Cauvery river water with Tamil Nadu, said an official on Monday.

“Nariman has told Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on phone from Delhi that he would not argue for the state in the Cauvery case as the opposition lawmakers criticised him and asked for his replacement on Monday,” an official in the chief minister’s office told IANS.

Siddaramaiah, however, rushed Water Resources Minister M.B. Patil to Delhi to pacify Nariman and ask him to continue in the case, as his legal services were essential to defend the state’s stand.

Bharatiya Janata Party leaders Jagadish Shettar, in the assembly, and K.S. Eshwarappa, in the council, criticised Nariman for not arguing the state’s case on September 30 in the apex court on the grounds that the state had not complied with its orders of September 20 and September 27 to release more water to Tamil Nadu.

According to a disclosure under the RTI Act to the Water Resources Development Organisation in Bengaluru, the state government said it had spent around Rs 76 crore from 2005-06 to July 31, 2016 as fee to the advocates representing the state before the Supreme Court and the inter-state water disputes tribunals in sharing of Cauvery and Krishna river waters with the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

“The state government paid Rs 36.5 crore as fees to the advocates representing Karnataka in the Cauvery dispute, including Rs 13.9 crore to senior advocate Anil B Divan and Rs 7.85 crore to Nariman, Rs 4.59 crore to S.S. Javali and Rs 4.8 crore to M.V. Katarki,” RTI activist B.G. Gadad told reporters here.

Similarly, Rs 39.70 crore was paid as fees to 20 advocates for representing the state before the top court and the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal from 2005-06 to August 8, 2016, including six Advocate Generals of the state.

“Divan was paid Rs.12.2 crore, Nariman Rs.6.91 crore, Javali Rs. 4.45 crore, Katarki Rs.3,1 crore and Advocate General Uday Holla Rs. 97.7 lakh in the Krishna river case,” added Gadad.

BJP playing politics over surgical strike issue: Kejriwal

October 4, 2016 by Nasheman

arvind-kejriwal

New Delhi: Rejecting BJP’s criticism, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today accused it of playing politics over the anti-terror surgical strike and said why was the party “scared” when he had only asked the Prime Minister to counter the false propaganda by Pakistan.

Maintaining that Aam Aadmi Party believes that surgical strikes did take place, Kejriwal said that in his video message yesterday he had only appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give a befitting reply.

In a rare gesture, Kejriwal has yesterday “saluted” Modi for the surgical strikes by the Army on terror launch pads across the LoC.

At the same time, he had urged the Centre to counter the smear campaign by Pakistan and international media, but BJP alleged that Kejriwal had in the garb of his statement questioned the Army’s assertion on surgical strike and insulted the armed forces.

“I have supported the Prime Minister, applauded the army. I only said that Pakistan is spreading false propaganda in the world that surgical strikes did not happen. We all believe that surgical strikes took place,” Kejriwal said today.

“Pakistan is spreading the propaganda across the world and international media is running this that surgical strikes did not take place. I had only appealed to the PM that a befitting reply should be given to Pakistan.

“If I said that we have to counter Pakistan’s false propaganda then why is the BJP so rattled and scared? We all have to counter Pakistan’s propaganda and we should all, irrespective of the party, strengthen PM’s hands in this,” Kejriwal said.

Claiming that Kejriwal “sought proof” on the anti-terror operation, the BJP asked him not to belittle the armed forces by getting influenced by Pakistani “propaganda”.

At a press conference today, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the AAP leader should answer whether he believed in the Indian Army or not.

Kejriwal later retorted: “I am unhappy. Ravi Shankar ji is saying I am playing politics. Am I playing politics or they?”

Senior AAP leader Ashutosh said Pakistan is insulting ‘Bharat Mata’ and Indian army through its propaganda, but BJP is settling score with Kejriwal.

“I am amazed that Ravi Shankar Prasad instead of unmasking Pak Propaganda is questioning AK. Shows BJP’s bankruptcy of ideas,” Ashutosh tweeted.

Movie Review: Dil Sala Sanki is a masala oriented, fairly entertaining film meant for the masses

October 3, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

dil-sala-sanki

Banner: S. K. Pictures Pvt Ltd
Producer: Sushikailash
Director: Israr Ahmed
Starcast: Yogesh Kumar, Madalasa Sharma, Jimmy Shergill, Hrishita Bhatt, Shagufta Ali, Shakti Kapoor et al
Music: Pramod Panth

Director Israr Ahmed has made a cocktail of yesteryears films and the main culprit for this seems to be the writer Aadesh Arjun who has not only borrowed the plot but also most of the dialogues, punches as well as most of the scenarios from the most popular films of yesteryears.

The scripted scenario of Dil Sala Sanki opens with a song & dance of Badal (Debutant Yogesh Kumar) who, since he was that high had been idolizing the most powerful Don Bachcha Babu (Jimmy Shergil) and by the time he grows up he becomes the Don’s trusted right hand man, in fact his Man Friday. And just then a new family of Sharmaji (Shakti Kapoor), his wife (Shagufta Ali) & their daughter Megha (Madalasa Sharma) arrives in the neighborhood and then it is just love at first sight for Badal. But Megha does not reciprocrate’s Badal’s advances mainly because Badal happens to be a criminal. And then tragedy strikes when Bachcha Babu’s wife accidently succumbs, or rather murdered by Bachcha Babu himself, in a kitchen fire. Later on he also expresses his desire to marry Megha. And when Badal tries to intervene as he loves Megha, the Don’s other goons beat him black & blue and he is left for dead. But Badal returns back to save Megha from the clutches of Bachcha Babu.

Director Israr Ahmed has taken over the directorial reigns from where the original director seems to have left off and Israr Ahmed has churned out a totally commercial venture which will be lapped up by the masses.

Performance wise Yogesh Kumar is the mainstay of the film and he has literally proved that he is indeed a “sanki” actor & performer who has really done well in both the action & the dance sequences. But he still needs to hone up his all round skills to go a long way in Bollywood. And the same holds true for Madalsa Sharma. While Jimmy Shergill, Hrishita Bhatt and veteran actors like Shakti Kapoor, Shagufta Ali are no doubt good and do their might in carrying the film forward.

Tail Piece: Dil Sala Sanki is a masala oriented, fairly entertaining film meant for the masses.

Nowadays regional film directors are tracking their way towards Bollywood. So after Marathi Film director Ravi Jadhav made his entry into Bollywood with Banjo this week, it is now the turn of Gujarati Film director Krishnadev Yagnik who makes his Bollywoodian debut with Days Of Tafree which happens to be a remake of his own superhit Gujarati film Chello Divas.

Debutant director Krishnadev Yagnik has made or rather remade a totally fun film, full of non-stop laughter & joi de vivre. In fact Days Of Tafree is a merry go round roller coaster ride of comedy. A special vote of thanks goes to the producers duo of Anand Pandit & Rashmi Sharma for joining hands to bring this lovely gift for the Hindi audiences.

Performance wise all the debutant actors like Yash Soni, Ansh Bagri, Sanchay Goswami, Nimisha Mehta, Kinjal Rajpriya, Anuradha Mukherji & Sarabjit Bindra et al have given off their “Best” to the best of their abilities and all of them indeed deserve full marks for that.

Movie Review: Banjo’s Commercial Prospects At The Box Office Turnstiles Are Very Bleak

October 3, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

banjo-movie

Banner: Eros International
Producer: Krishika Lulla
Director: Ravi Jadhav
Starcast: Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Dharmesh Yelande, Aditya Kumar, Ram Menon, Mahesh Shetty, Luke Kenny, Mohan Kapur et al
Music: Vishal–Shekhar

Ravi Jadhav, the well – known director of Marathi Cinema, now makes his debut in Bollywood. The conception of the story is good and the film could have turned out to be a good musical entertainer. But alas it was not to be so.

The scripted scenario of Banjo kickstarts with film the “musical introduction” of the Mumbai based Nandkishore aka Taraat (Riteish Deshmukh), an extraordinary banjo player who also doubles up as an extortionist for the sake of earning extra money. His Banjo band consists of 3 (part time) members named Grease (Dharmesh Yelande), Paper (Aditya Kumar) & Vaaja (Ram Menon). On the other side of the globe (New York, to be specific), exists an aspiring & spunky DJ Chris (Nargis Fakhri), who wants to enter a prestigious music championship. While she is searching for the right music as her entry in the championship, her Mumbai based friend (Luke Kenny) helps her by sending a recording of Taraat’s banjo performance during Ganeshotsav festival. Totally impressed by Taraat’s mesmerising tunes, Chris reaches Mumbai, in order to search for Taraat and his talented team members, as she wants to collaborate for a song with them as her entry in the music championship. In no time, Taraat unknowingly becomes Chris’ guide & friend in Mumbai. And while, doing so, he gradually falls in love with her. At the same time, Taraat and his gang refrain from revealing to Chris that they are banjo players, fearing insult & rejection from her. What they don’t realise however is that it is in search of their band for whom Chris has especially flown down to India. One fine day, when Chris gets to know about Taraat and his Banjo band, her happiness knows no bounds and she immediately starts jamming with them for her songs. Amidst all this, an unfortunate incident occurs that completely changes the lives of Taraat, his band members & Chris as well.

Director Ravi Jadhav’s directorial skills have gone awry because of the poorerst writing skills of Ravi Jadhav himself in tandem with
Kapil Sawant & Nikhil Mehrotra. Need I say anything more?

Performance wise Ritiesh Deshmukh has really worked wonders by literally getting into the skin of the character. Just watch out for his new avatar of a Banjo player dwelling in the grimy slums in lieu with his side job as a tapori extortionist and then he also showcases one more side of his as a silent lover. On the other hand, Nargis Fakhri delivers a convincing performance. The next in line superb performance comes from Luke Kenny in a believable role of a street smart musician. Some of the other actors like Dharmesh Yelande as Grease, Aditya Kumar as Paper, Ram Menon as Vaaja & Mahesh Shetty as Pakya are too good to be true.

Tail Piece: Banjo can very well be termed as an arty film lover’s delight and should be promising enough for the global film festival circuits. But its commercial prospects at the Box Office turnstiles are very bleak.

Movie Review: M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story is a not to be missed film at any cost

October 3, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

m-s-dhoni-the-untold-story

Banner: Fox Star Studios, Inspired Entertainment & Friday FilmWorks
Producer: Arun Pandey & Fox Star Studios
Director: Neeraj Pandey
Starcast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Disha Patani, Kiara Advani, Bhoomika Chawla, Anupam Kher et al.
Music: Amaal Mallik, Rochak Kohli & Sanjoy Chaudhary

Director Neeraj Pandey has proved his worth time & again with his flawless directional skills in scores of movies. And now he his back with his outstanding directorial venture namely M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. So much so that after this film he may very well be crowned as the “Badshah Of Biopic” movies. Take a Bow Mr. Neeraj Pandey.

Fox Star Studios’ M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story is a film mainly about the untold & unknown aspects of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s life. The film starts off with the iconic match that took place between India & Sri Lanka on 2nd Apr, 2011. This is followed by a series of flashbacks into the life of M. S. Dhoni, who grows up with his passion of playing football. It is during one such match when his sports teacher spots his impeccable talent in goalkeeping. On his insistence, an initially reluctant Dhoni, then starts playing cricket. When Dhoni realises that he is only keeping wickets and not getting an opportunity to bat, he “creates an opportunity” and starts smashing the ball in all directions, thus, impressing one & all. Things, then, start gradually moving forward for Dhoni, who, after playing for a handful of Government organisations, lands up becoming a TC (Ticket Collector) at Kharagpur station and starts playing for the railways. As days pass, his job tires him physically & mentally too, leaving him limited time for cricket practice. When frustration reaches its peak in Dhoni’s mind, he quits his railway job and comes back home, something that extremely annoys his father (Anupam Kher). Amidst all this, when Dhoni gets a call from the selectors to play for India, he does not play well on the ground, despite that being his 1st ever international match. He however gets insipired on meeting Priyanka (Disha Patani) who boosts up his morale and Dhoni regains his form. Just when life starts blooming for Dhoni, both, professionally & personally, an unexpected tragedy buoys him down miserably. Around this time, Dhoni happens to meet Sakshi (Kiara Advani).

Director Neeraj Pandey has done full justice to this Dhoni Biopic. He promised to highlight “the untold story” about Dhoni, whose “private life” has been extremely guarded. The film is all about the trails, the tribulations, the challenges, the failures & the eventual success of Dhoni. And Neeraj does not let the viewers down. He delivers what he has promised. Besides the film remains clear of gossips, scandals & rumors in any form. In fact Neeraj has just presented the true sides of Dhoni’s life. And what a presentation!!! A special worthy mention also goes for the entire technical team. Take a Bow once again Mr. Neeraj Pandey.

Performance wise Sushant Singh Rajput is outstanding & brilliant to the core!!! In fact he is “MS Dhoni personified” in every frame of the film. He has given his all to make sure that his role as Dhoni simply remains “unforgettable” unlike his totally forgettable last outing namely Yashraj Films Detective Byomkesh Bakshi. While Disha Patani makes a picture perfect debut, but Kiara Advani is just about ok. On the other hand Bhumika Chawla enacting the role of Dhoni’s sister springs a pleasant surprise and that too when she has made her comeback to Bollywood after almost a decade. Welcome Back Bhumika!!! Anupam Kher in one word is “Superb”. That apart the entire supporting cast lends an adequate support and makes the film worth watching even more.

Tail Piece: M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story will hit many more centuries at the Box Office turnstiles. Besides In a nation where Bollywood & cricket are considered as religion, the amalgamation of both will really work wonders at the Box Office turnstiles. All in all M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story is a not to be missed film at any cost.
