 Nasheman News : Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ignoring a BJP worker’s question, during a recent video interaction with party workers from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, about the middle class struggling with the government’s taxation policy.

Gandhi pointed to a December 19 interaction that saw Nirmal Kumar Jain, a BJP worker, asking the Prime Minister why his government was busy collecting all manner of taxes but not providing any relief to the middle class by reducing the Income Tax rates or easing the procedures for securing loans. 

While putting his question Jain specifically urged the Prime Minister to take care of the middle class.

Modi’s reply was: “Thank you, Nirmal ji. You are a trader, so it’s normal that you will talk business. I favour taking care of common people and the common people will be taken care of.”

Modi then immediately switched to addressing workers from neighbouring Puducherry by saying: “Chaliye Puducherry ko Vanakam.”

Reacting on media reports on the issue, Gandhi took to Twitter to yet again target Modi for his reluctance to face questions. 

“Vanakam Puducherry! That’s NaMo’s answer to the struggling middle class. Forget a press conference he can’t even string together a polling booth worker’s conference. BJP-vetted questions is a superb idea. Consider vetted answers as well,” tweeted Gandhi.

The Congress President has repeatedly questioned Modi for not holding a press conference since he became the Prime Minister in 2014.

Also, their plea to the city magistrate has not received any permission to do so…If employees of your company come to the park, it will be assumed that you have not informed your employees and your company will be held liable.

“Thus, it is expected from you that you at your level inform your Muslim employees to not come to the park to offer Namaz. If employees of your company come to the park, it will be assumed that you have not informed your employees and your company will be held liable.” Pankaj Rai is the SHO of the Sector 58 police station was quoted by timesnow as saying.

Hindi Film Review

 Zero
SRK’s Zero Is A Biggest Disappointing Fare
Banner: Red Chillies Entertainment & Color Yellow Productions
Producer: Gauri Khan
Director: Aanand L Rai
Music: Ajay – Atul
Star Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Brijendra Kala, Sheeba Chhadha, R. Madhvan, Abhay Deol, Salman Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Karisma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla & the late Sridevi

 ZERO is a crucial film for varied reasons. The main reason being, it’s the 1st ever collaboration of Shah Rukh Khan & Aanand L Rai, who has a hat trick of hits to his credit like Tanu Weds Manu, Raanjhanaa & Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
Unlike their previous ventures, the stakes are high this time. The actor features in a role he hasn’t portrayed earlier, while a significant part of the 2nd half has space travel interwoven in its screenplay. Naturally, the expectations are colossal.
Without giving away the minutest details of the story, here’s the spoiler-free plot: Bauua (Shah Rukh), a 38 year old man, lives with his family in Meerut. He comes across the profile of Aafia (Anushka Sharma) at a marriage bureau & decides to woo her.
Aafia doesn’t show interest in Bauua initially, but falls in love with him subsequently. Bauua backs off. A few months later, Bauua is shocked to see Aafia at his residence.
Bauua’s father (Tigmanshu Dhulia) decides to get Bauua & Aafia married & a reluctant Bauua agrees too. Meanwhile, Bauua had signed up for a dance competition where the winner will get to meet the superstar, Babita (Katrina Kaif).
An ardent fan of Babita, Bauua ditches Aafia on the day of marriage. What happens next forms the remainder of the film.
To begin with, the story by Himanshu Sharma hinges on a wafer thin plot. The writer has integrated space travel in the narrative & you may argue, and rightly so, that it’s this aspect that drives the story away from predictability. However, the writer fails to knit a compelling, riveting & captivating screenplay that stays with you.
ZERO appeals in bits & spurts & a few moments in the 1st ever half do grab your attention, make you giggle & bring a smile on your face. A few individualistic sequences do catch your attention, but you realize, as the narrative progresses, there’s something amiss.
You invest hopes in the post intermission portions, hoping that the writing & the emotional quotient, the hallmark of Aanand’s previous movies, will change the scenario for better. Unfortunately, the writing goes for a toss as the fun portions fall flat, romance seems superficial & emotions appear fake!
What saves ZERO, besides the performances of its principal cast, are some sharp & witty lines. But the bitter truth is, great lines or individualistic sequences in a disjointed screenplay are forgotten once you exit the theatre.
Aanand L. Rai’s direction is a far cry from his previous works. In fact, the incredibly talented storyteller is known to make you smile, laugh & make you moist-eyed in his well-packaged movies. Everyone who recalls his works will be wondering, how did he okay a half-baked screenplay this time? Too many questions cross your mind as the drama unfolds & you soon realize, it’s a screenplay of convenience.
The graph of the film goes haywire in the 2nd hour. Generally, you don’t complain about the length of the film / run time if the proceedings & sequence of events keep you hooked, enthralled & mesmerized. Sadly, ZERO lacks the power of a strong & a cohesive script.
Ajay-Atul’s soundtrack is a big plus. “Mere Naam Tu” is, undoubtedly, the best track. The song featuring Salman & SRK is a treat for the fans of the 2 superstars. Cinematography is brilliant. The DOP captures the varied moods & locales to perfection. The production design is top notch. A special mention must be made of VFX which matches the global standards.
Shah Rukh is the lifeline of Zero. He is in supreme form. The actor deserves 10/10 for a performance that’s absolutely fantastic. Anushka nails the part. There’s no doubt that she’s amongst the best & her act in Zero reiterates the fact. Katrina surprises you with a stunning performance. Some moments in the 2nd half give her ample scope to shine.
Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is dependable, contributing to the fun quotient. Tigmanshu Dhulia is perfect. Brijendra Kala is hardly there. Abhay Deol & R Madhavan hardly contribute!
Zero also features Sridevi, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Karisma Kapoor & Juhi Chawla in an inconsequential sequence.
On the whole, Zero has several factors going for it: star presence, winsome performances, energetic soundtrack & of course, it’s timed during the Christmas & New Year vacations. Sadly, the weak, flawed & lackluster screenwriting is all that you recall after you’ve watched the much-awaited movie. This one’s an epic disappointment! 

Fog disrupts air, rail traffic; air quality ‘severe’ in Delhi

Nasheman News : It was a cold foggy Tuesday morning in the national capital with visibility dropping to 50 metres affecting flight schedule and causing train cancellations.

The air quality in Delhi-NCR remained ‘severe’ for the fourth consecutive day as high humidity, low wind speed and drop in mercury prevented the dispersal of particulate matters.

According to SAFAR, the Air Quality Index (AQI) of the national capital was 423 — in the hazardous zone — as the minimum temperature was recorded at 5.6 degrees Celsius, two notches below the season’s average. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted shallow fog for the day with the maximum temperature likely to hover around 21 degrees Celsius.

At 8.30 a.m., the humidity was 100 per cent; visibility dropped to 50 metres at Palam with a spate of flight delays at the Delhi airport. 

All departures at the the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) were suspended for over an hour as dense fog delayed 45 flights.

“Due to adverse weather conditions (fog) at Delhi, few of our flights have been affected,” the Jet Airways tweeted.

“The overall air quality in Delhi is severe,” System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) said in its daily pollution analysis.

“There is a significant fall in temperature which has brought down the boundary layer significantly with the huge amount of moisture beneath,” SAFAR said.

At the IGI Airport (T3) PM2.5 was recorded at 434. Many areas in the capital recorded Particulate Matter (PM10) levels way beyond the safe standard. 

Experts advised against all physical activities outdoors and prescribed the use of N-95 or P-100 respirators when stepping out.

Among trains originating from here at least four were cancelled, including the Gomti express to Lucknow.

 Nasheman News : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated the country’s longest rail-cum-road bridge in Bogibeel over the Brahmaputra river in Assam.

The Prime Minister arrived at the Mohanbari Airport near Dibruharh and headed to Bogibeel in a helicopter. 

Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal received Modi at the airport.

Inaugurating the bridge that connects Dhemaji and Dibrugarh, Modi and his cavalcade took a ride, stopping in the middle and waving at thousands of people waiting on either sides.

Built at an estimated cost of over Rs 5,000 crore, the bridge is expected to help over five million people living in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and significantly enhance India’s defence capability by ensuring faster movement of troops and supplies to the eastern border with China.

The foundation stone of the bridge was laid by the then Prime Minister of H.D. Devegowda in 1997. The construction works started only in 2002 when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister.

The bridge, situated 17 km downstream of Dibrugarh spans the Brahmaputra river and connects the town in the south to Dhemaji to the river’s north.

It is located just over 20 km away from the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border and is thus expected to act as an alternative to the Kolia Bhomora Setu in Tezpur.
