Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be seen schooling entrepreneur and former Shark Tank India judge Ashneer Grover in the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode of ‘Bigg Boss 18’.A promo shared by the channel, showcased Salman bashing Grover. It begins with the “Dabangg” star welcoming Grover on the stage and then questions him about his infamous comments.

“Maine aapke baare mein suna hai ki aapne mujhe sign kiya tha. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai? (I heard you talk about signing me and mentioning all the wrong figures. So what is this dogalapan?)” Salman asks Ashneer.

To which, Ashneer replied: “Aapko jo brand ambassador kiya (I made you the brand ambassador), I think that was one of the smartest moves.”

It doesn’t stop there as Salman then bashes him more by saying: “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha (This attitude you are showing now wasn’t apparent back then).”

Grover claims that his words were taken out of context during the appearance in the podcast.

For those who don’t know last year, Grover had appeared on “Vagehra Vagehra” podcast, where he spoke about his meeting with Salman, which he had also publicly discussed before.

In that video, he had shared: “Usko humne sponsor rakha tha, uske shoot ke liye mila tha, usko brief karne ke liye company ke baare mein. Teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya photo nahi khichwani, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain.”

“Maine bola nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad mein jaa tu, aisi kaunsi heropanti hogayi (We wanted him to endorse our brand, I met him for the ad shoot and sat with him for three hours. His manager told me I couldn’t take a picture with him because he might get irritated, and I thought, ‘Fine, he can go to hell’).”

Amaran the biographical drama of Sivakarthikeyan, has managed to cross the third weekend at the box office, running steadily in the theatres despite Suriya’s action fantasy drama Kanguva, which hit the box office recently. Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, Amaraan has successfully crossed the hyped recent release.

The collections of Thursday and Friday collections are well-stable for the film with nett collections of Rs 3.25 crore and Rs 3.50 crore respectively. Amaran has collected a huge net amount of Rs 175.60 crore at the domestic box office in its 16-day run.

Day-wise Collections

Week 1: 114.85 crore
Week 2: 57.25 crore
Friday (third weekend): 3.50 crore
Total: 175.60 crore

In contrast, Kanguva saw a dramatically steep 50% decline in collections on its second day, raising eyebrows. While it’s expected to recover over the weekend, Amaran’s response to Kanguva’s performance will be closely watched.

Trade trends foresee Amaran to reach easily the Rs 200 crore net mark in India. The film justifies its steady performance through a gripping storyline and gritty direction. Fans are ready to see the battle at the box office. The situation seems like Amaran will be stable in the theatres crossing Kanguva.

How Is Thaman Managing 3 Big Films?

Thaman is one of the biggest names in Telugu cinema when it comes to the musical side of things. He is the most sought-after name for big event films these days and he has started to motor along nicely as well.

Interestingly enough, Thaman has a whopping 3 big films that are in the lineup for him and they are Pushpa 2(BGM works), Game Changer, and Daaku Maharaj. Needless to say, all three of these films are elite league ones and they have a lot riding on them.

Of the three of them, two are pan-Indian films – Pushpa 2 and Game Changer which makes their management all the more tough.

When asked about this, Thaman said he is only a part of Pushpa 2 and he is not composing the entire soundtrack for the film so this makes it easier. He is only working on a part of the BGM works for the film. On the other hand, we have Game Changer and Daaku Maharaj which are up for release coming Sankranthi.

Managing this might not be too much of a challenge for Thaman as they have been in the making for a long time now and he had enough time at hand to deal with them.

Matka Days 1 Opens With a Whimper: Varun Tej’s Tough Luck

AA123

In the movie industry, box office receipts frequently reflect the reaction of the audience; sometimes they are positive, and other times they show the flaws. Varun Tej’s much awaited Matka had every indication of becoming a smash, but its Day 1 receipts seem to indicate otherwise. The movie opened to mediocre reviews and a lackluster reception at the box office, suggesting that while expectations were high, the reality was a little less glamorous. The response to this Karuna Kumar-directed and Vyra Entertainments-produced mafia drama was muted since it failed to live up to the early success of Tej’s previous works.

The protagonist of Matka is Varun Tej’s character Vasu, who is deeply ingrained in the gambling and corrupt industries. With the Matka gambling game as its backdrop, the movie examines Vasu’s ascent from poverty to prominence. The film’s early reception has been ambivalent, despite an intriguing premise and strong performances by the cast, which includes Meenakshi Choudhary and Nora Fatehi. Varun Tej fans were hoping for a high-octane smash, but the movie’s sluggish box office debut indicates that it could require more than just a compelling story and strong performances to make a difference.

Matka received mixed reviews on social media and only made a meager Rs. 0.70 crore on its first day of release. Matka has been left behind by Kanguva, a competitor that was published around the same time and has had a far more successful opening. Although the figures are not disastrous, they most definitely fall short of what is expected of a movie of this size. The movie will require more than a few encouraging tweets to change the tide, as theater occupancy is less than 20% and early reviews indicate a mixed reception.

As word of mouth spreads, fans continue to expect for an increase in collections as Matka settles into its weekend run. One can never undervalue the power of a good underdog story, so even if it might not have been the blockbuster Varun Tej was looking for, there is always hope for a comeback. I hope the Matka kings do not become pawns in the game of box office politics!

Govt’s PAIR programme to boost research, innovation in higher education

New Delhi, Nov 15 (IANS) The Union Government-led Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) has launched the Partnerships for Accelerated Innovation and Research (PAIR) programme to enhance quality research-oriented higher education in the country.

In line with ANRF, operationalised in September, the PAIR programme aims to bring major transformation in Indian Universities.

While being aligned with the objectives set by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the PAIR programme will cultivate research excellence in central and state public universities by fostering collaborations with top-tier institutions via a mentorship-driven hub and spoke model.

“The hubs will guide emerging institutions (spokes) in research activities, provide access to harness their resources and expertise, thus bridging the gap between institutions and nurturing a robust research ecosystem in India,” said the Ministry of Science & Technology.

The hub and spoke model which pairs universities where research is at a nascent stage, with top-tier established institutions was decided during the first meeting of the ANRF governing board, chaired by the PM Narendra Modi in September.

“The PAIR programme stands as a catalyst for transformative research in universities which have potential, with well-established institutions providing the necessary mentorship to elevate overall research standards,” Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Secretary, DST, and CEO, ANRF.

“The idea is to improve the research eco-system in our universities,” he added.

While Hub institutions will include the top 25 NIRF overall ranking as well as Institutions of National Importance within the top 50 NIRF overall ranking; Central and State Public Universities and select NITs and IIITs will be added as the spoke institutions.

“Each PAIR network would consist of one hub and up to seven spoke institutions. Only one proposal per hub institution is allowed, with a mandatory involvement of multi-departmental faculty teams from spoke institutions,” the ministry added, noting that it will also ensure regional diversity among participants.

The programme aims to stimulate innovation in emerging institutions by leveraging mentorship from high-ranking institutions. This will drive impactful, internationally competitive research with significant outcomes. Further, it will also help establish collaborative networks, and boost research quality via advanced infrastructure and best practices.

Methane alert system issued 1,200 emission notifications, only 15 responded to

AA123

Baku, Nov 15 (IANS) A high-tech system that identifies major methane leaks has delivered 1,200 notifications to governments and companies over the last two years, yet just one per cent of notifications were responded to, new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) data said on Friday.

Despite commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to slash emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, “An Eye on Methane: Invisible but not Unseen”, highlights that methane plume alerts from the Methane Alert and Response System (MARS), part of UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), represent an untapped opportunity for immediate climate action.

Atmospheric methane is the second biggest driver of anthropogenic global warming after carbon dioxide (CO2) and is over 80 times more powerful than CO2 in the near term. Global methane emissions must be reduced by 40-45 per cent by 2030 to achieve cost-effective pathways that limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Yet the latest science shows atmospheric concentrations of methane rising at record speed over the past five years.

“To have any chance of getting global warming under control, methane emissions must come down, and come down fast,” UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen said.

“We now have a proven system to identify major leaks so they can be quickly stopped — often with simple repairs. We are quite literally talking about screwing bolts tighter in some cases. Governments and oil and gas companies must stop paying lip service to this challenge when answers are staring them in the face. Instead, they should recognise the significant opportunity this presents and start responding to alerts by plugging leaks that are spewing climate-warming methane into the atmosphere. The tools are ready, the targets are set — now it is time to act.”

While methane responses must rapidly grow, there are examples of nations and companies responding — proving the value of data-driven solutions like MARS. In 2024, IMEO verified action to reduce emissions from major leaks in Azerbaijan and the US. In Algeria and Nigeria, MARS notifications and engagement led to direct action from the governments and oil and gas companies to address large methane leaks. In the Algerian case, which saw methane leaks take place for years, the annual avoided emissions are equivalent to 500,000 cars being taken off the road. In Nigeria’s case, the six-month leak emitted methane equivalent to 400,000 cars being driven for a year and was able to be fixed in under two weeks by simply replacing faulty equipment.
