    Mithun Chakraborty made his acting debut with 1976 Bengali film Mrigya for which he won the National Film Award for Best Actor. He later joined the Hindi film industry and starred in several popular films like Suraksha where he played the character of spy Gunmaster G9, its sequel Wardat and the critically acclaimed Hum Paanch. 
    However, it was the 1982 film Disco Dancer that catapulted him to stardom not only in India but also overseas. The B Subhash directorial featured a chartbuster soundtrack and was a rage in several parts of the world particularly in the Soviet Union where it became the highest grossing foreign film. 
    The film turned out to be the first blockbuster of Mithun’s career and made him an overnight sensation.

    Post Disco Dancer, Mithun delivered several other massive hits like Jagir, Pyar Jhukta Nahin, Ghulami and Kasam Paida Karne Waale Ki. 

    In the ‘90s, Mithun started focusing more on his Hotel business in Ooty and mostly starred in B-grade films that he’d shoot in and around his hotel. These films were low budget and often turned out profitable at the box office. 
    By mid-’00s, he transformed into a character actor and starred in films like Veer, Kick, Boss, Chandni Chowk To China etc. But, he wasn’t the lead character in any of those films. 
    In recent years, he wasn’t seen much on-screen but in 2022, the unthinkable happened. 
    The yesteryear superstar starred in Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files. The film turned out to be a box office phenomenon and became a huge blockbuster on course to go past Rs 200 crore in India alone.

    With the blockbuster success of The Kashmir Files, Mithun Chakraborty created a unique box office record of delivering blockbusters 40 years apart. His first being in 1982 and his latest in 2022. 

    There have been other more successful actors than him who have been doing well in their second innings but none own the record of having blockbusters to their names for such a long span of time being a lead actor.

    Whoever says height doesn’t matter is probably lying to you. According to the report ‘The Effect of Adolescent Experience on Labor Market Outcomes: The Case of Height’ published by a group of economics professors from the University of Pennsylvania, shorter men are likely to earn 13% lesser than their taller peers. 
    While dating trends might be changing gradually, based on anecdotal evidence shorter men tend to be favored less by women, who traditionally go for men of the taller variety. 
    Globally the average for mens’ height varies from region to region, with the average Indian man standing 5.8 feet tall (177 cm) while their American counterparts tower over them by a measly inch. 
    Why are we talking so much about mens’ heights?

    Well because it seems like even Bollywood’s macho-est of actors, Salman Khan, isn’t impervious to the effects of being on the shorter scale of things. A quick Google search will tell you that his official height remains a bit of a mystery, with figures being quoted anywhere from 5.8 feet tall to 5.5 feet. 

    Over the years, he’s rarely been sported without his signature chunky shoes that he wears for all public affairs. And it looks like sometimes, despite affording him an extra couple of vertical inches, even that may not suffice for him. 
    In a tweet that has been going viral, Salman bhai can be seen standing next to Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi (who himself is close to 5.8 feet in height based on publicly available figures), and another elderly man. Absolutely normal, right? Well, not entirely. A Twitter user called ‘Just A Fan.’ shared a zoomed-in version of the same photo, where it shows that bhai may have been sneakily standing on his toes, so as to elevate himself for the picture.
    Here’s the post for you to see: 
    Salman Khan overcoming his Height! pic.twitter.com/NPocb2vtpj
    — JUST A FAN. (@iamsrk_brk) March 21, 2022
    Twitter users have obviously been having a field day. This user commented, “is he short? I've never noticed... he always seemed tall to me”.While a second one noted the universality of this feeling, “Even They Wear Big Heel shoes to look Taller.”A third, more empathetic user shared their opinion, “There is nothing wrong with being short, the bad thing is feeling self-conscious about it so that all your shoes have 10cm soles that help you look tall”
    Needless to say, there’s nothing wrong with men being short. Sometimes it’s just that the insecurities we’re raised with take a lot longer to leave our side. 
    Here’s hoping to see Salman Khan ditch his platform shoes and accept himself in a pair of flats

    Shubman Gill will be seen playing for Gujarat Titans in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier Legaue (IPL) after representing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for four seasons. Gill caught everyone's attention thanks to his prolific batting in the 2017-18 Under-19 World Cup where he scored 372 runs in five innings. The performance landed him an IPL contract with two-time champions KKR.
    During his stay at the Kolkata-based franchise, Gill played 58 IPL games and scored 1417 runs with the help of 10 half-centuries but his strike-rate always remained a matter of concern for KKR fans.
    Lowest Strike Rate in last 2 IPL seasons:-
    [min. 700 runs]

    119: Shubman Gill
    120: Virat Kohli
    122: Rishabh Pant
    125: Devdutt Padikkal

    de Villiers & Shaw are the only ones with 150+ SR.#IPL2022
    — ComeOn Cricket (@ComeOnCricket) February 2, 2022
    Gill got all those runs at a strike-rate of 123 while other teams benefited from their openers providing them explosive start at the top of the innings.  
    Renowned as one of the most technically sound batters amongst the young lot, Gill has worked on a few new shots which he promises to exhibit at the 15th edition of the IPL.  
    You might see few cheeky shots in IPL: Shubman Gill pic.twitter.com/w3VpUv0b2W
    — sports news (@CricketDeDaNaDa) March 21, 2022
    Gill was away from international cricket for months due to injury and during his time at the National Cricket Academy, he said he has improved his game which will allow him to play according to the situation the team demands from him. 
    "There isn't a particular reason. It's just that I back my strengths to be able to hit the bowler over his head rather than trying to be cheeky. But yes, as a player, I should be capable of playing any shot in the book and on some particular wickets, it's difficult to hit bowlers down the ground. As a player, I am trying to learn more shots and how to be able to play all over the ground. You might see me play some cheeky shots in this IPL," Gill was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. 
    While Gill was boasting about his new shots, fans took a dig at his strike-rate and urged him to focus on that if he wants to be back in the race for a place in the Indian team.

    — Jyoti Ranjan Rout (@j2rforever) March 22, 2022 Gill also added that he is hoping to have a great season with Gujarat Titans and that will allow him to put his name in contention for a spot in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup, set to be played in Australia later this year.  
    "If we (GT) go on to play the play-offs and reach the final, I might get a chance to play for India in WT20," he added.

    — Vikrant Gupta (@vikrantgupta73) March 22, 2022
    While there is a tough competition at the top of the order in the Indian T20 team with captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul favourites to open the innings and Ishan Kishan also in the squad but you cannot rule out anything in Indian cricket and a good season with the bat for Gill may land him in Australia, representing the country in the marquee tournament.

    Starting this weekend, cricket fans all over the globe would have their evenings sorted. Billions of fans will flock to their television screens to watch their favourite cricketers participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
    With the addition of two new franchises and the fact the entire tournament will be played in India itself after two years, the BCCI and the host broadcasters hope that the tournament creates new viewership records.
    © IPL Trophy
    In the last 15 years, the IPL has established itself as the most important cricket competition on a cricket calendar. Since its inception, the lucrative league has gone from strength to strength.

    In a short span of time, the tournament has become the fourth most expensive sports league in the world, in terms of per match broadcasting rights.
    © Twitter
    From the franchises to the players to the host broadcasters to the BCCI, everyone has filled up their coffers, thanks to this tournament. Many people think that all the stakeholders have been so busy amassing money that they have stopped caring about the most important entity – the supporters.

    There will be no opening ceremony in the IPL for the 4th consecutive years.
    — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) March 22, 2022
    If reports are to be believed, the BCCI has once again decided to do away with the opening ceremony ahead of the season’s opening encounter between defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the decision has evoked mixed reaction on social media.

    — vipul_45 (@Vipull45) March 17, 2022
    People who consider ceremonies like these to be a waste of money lauded the Sourav Ganguly-led cricket board for making the right call. But the majority of the supporters lashed out at the BCCI for killing the fun and not doing enough to make the tournament more appealing.

    For more than a decade, the IPL kick-started with the opening ceremonies but the BCCI decided to do away with it in the 2019 edition. This year will be the fourth year in a row when the IPL begins without any glittering ceremony.

    We can't do anything
    — Aniket Chauhan (@imAniket_18_) March 22, 2022Some people argue in favour of the BCCI, saying that the organisers have made the right call and instead of organising a silly ceremony they must utilise this money to support a better cause.
    To counter that, I would say that the BCCI makes enough money from the IPL that it doesn’t have to do cost-cutting in order to lend its support to a noble cause. It can afford to do both. After all, it’s the richest cricket board in the world.

    From Olympics to football World Cups, the opening and closing ceremonies are one of the highlights of any major sporting event.
    In fact, for many people the grandeur of these ceremonies is what determines how big the event is. By doing away with these ceremonies, in my opinion, the BCCI is doing itself more harm than good.

    Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ has been breaking records since its release. Having comfortably crossed the Rs 100 crore mark by its 8th day, the film can be declared an unexpected success, considering it was made on a relatively paltry Rs 25 crores budget. The movie follows the story of Kashmiri Pandits who experienced atrocities that resulted in their mass exodus from the Valley in the 1990s.

    While the film brings to light many uncomfortable conversations for the public at large, from allegations of distortion of reality, to subtly kindling Islamophobia among its viewers, it has also raised the issue of helping the Kashmiri Pandits who still suffer from the ordeals faced by the previous generations. 

    With the box-office collections of ‘The Kashmir Files’ touted to have comfortably crossed Rs 150 crores, an MP & IAS officer from Madhya Pradesh named Niyaz Khan took to Twitter with a request bound to make the makers of the film sweat. Khan urged the producers of the film to donate all the proceeds from its success for the education of the kids coming from Kashmiri Pandit families and help build houses for them in Kashmir.
    Kashmir File shows the pain of Brahmins. They should be allowed to live safely in Kashmir with all honour. The producer must also make a movie to show the killings of Large number of Muslims across several states. Muslims are not insects but human beings and citizens of country
    — Niyaz Khan (@saifasa) March 18, 2022
    In his tweet, Niyaz Khan said, “Income of Kashmir Files reached 150 crore. Great. People have given a lot of respect for Kashmiri Brahmins' feelings. I would respect film producer to transfer all earnings to the Brahmin children's education and construction of homes for them in Kashmir. It will be a great charity”
    Sir Niyaz Khaan Sahab, Bhopal aa raha hoon 25th ko. Please give an appointment so we can meet and exchange ideas how we can help and how you can help with the royalty of your books and your power as an IAS officer. https://t.co/9P3oif8nfL
    — Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) March 20, 2022
    Director of ‘The Kashmir Files’, Vivek Agnihotri, promptly responded to Khan’s tweet, requesting for an in-person meeting with the official in order to better discuss the ideas to help the cause. He wrote, “Please give an appointment so we can meet and exchange ideas how we can help and how you can help with the royalty of your books and your power as an IAS officer.”
    Do you think the Member of Parliament and IAS officer, Niyaz Khan is right to urge the makers of ‘The Kashmir Files’ to donate their collections to a greater cause? Let us know in the comments.

    The Kashmir Files directed by Vivek Agnihotri is on course to hit Rs 200 crore in the next few days. The film has already collected Rs 179.85 crore in 11 days of its release. 
    Amid the massive box office success of the film, social media is buzzing with raging debates around it. While a section of the audience has called it an agenda-driven propaganda film, there are others who are calling it a masterpiece that depicts the plight of Kashmiri Pandits. 
    © Zee Studios
    At a recent event, Nana Patekar was asked about his take on The Kashmir Files and the controversy around it. He told the media, according to Aaj Tak, “Hindus and Muslims very much belong here, and it is necessary for them to live together and they must live together. If division is taking place, it is wrong.” 

    He further added that controversy erupting because of a film that may result in division between the two communities is not desirable and when people are living peacefully, it is not right to court a controversy with a film like The Kashmir Files.  
    He went on to say that after watching the film, society will be divided into two sections which is not right. Those who are doing this should be questioned. 
    © Zee Studios
    However, he also added that he hasn’t watched the film and will not be able to comment further on the content of the film. But maintained that “a controversy erupting over a film is not good”. 

    The Kashmir Files stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar and Pallavi Joshi in the lead roles.

    At the recently held promotional event of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, Aamir Khan was asked about his take on the huge success of The Kashmir Files and if he has watched it.  
    Aamir not only supported the film but also urged every Indian to watch it. The superstar went on to congratulate the team of The Kashmir Files for its grand box office success.  
    While Aamir extended his support for The Kashmir Files, trolls called it a gimmick and went after his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha calling for the film’s boycott. 
    Soon Laal Singh Chaddha and Aamir Khan became a trending topic on Twitter.

    One troll wrote, “Aamir Khan is the same person who went on to meet Turkish 1st lady Emine Erdogan while shooting for Lal Singh Chadda. Turkish president went on to support Pakistan to revoke Art 370. Now Khan says what happened to #KashmiriPandit is of great sorrow. #LalSinghChaddha #AamirKhan”. 

    Another tweeted, “Dont ever trust #AamirKhan, in the past he was making fake allegations in an interview against our PM Modiji and now he has changed his thoughts according to the mood the nation. #BoycottLalSinghChaddha #BoycottBollywood #LalSinghChaddha #BoycottAamirKhan”. 
    One wondered, “Hmm, when is #LalSinghChaddha set to release? No wonder Aamir Khan is sucking up to 
    @vivekagnihotri and endorsing #TheKasmirFiles!” 
    One tweet read, “Don't trust #AmirKhan. It's a gimmick to promote his film #LalSinghChaddha”. 
    One troll commented, “#TheKasmirFiles  to bahanaa hai   #LalSinghChaddha key liye viewer jitanaa hai ... But people jst #BoycottBollywood”.

    — Panjwani (@luckandwealth) March 21, 2022  Earlier, while talking about The Kashmir Files, Aamir had stated, “Ji zaroor dekhoonga main. Woh ek history ka aisa hissa hai, humara dil dukta hai usme. Jo Kashmiri Pandits ke sath hua hain, wo yakeenan bahut hi dukh ki baat hai, aur aise film jo bani hain us topic pe, wo yakeenan har Hindustani ko dekhna chaiye aur har Hindustani ko yaad karna chahiye ki ek insan hai, jab us par atyachar hua to kya beet ti hai. (I will definitely watch the film. It is a part of our history which is heart-breaking. What happened with the Kashmiri Pandits is really very sad. Every Indian should watch the film made on this subject and should recall how it feels when a person goes through such trauma).”

    He further added, “This film has touched the emotions of all people who believe in humanity and that's what is wonderful. I will definitely watch the film and I am so happy to see that the film is successful. I feel this is the time in India which was sad, people should look at carefully and remember.”
