“Keetanu – The Germ”: A Film or a Harsh Social Reality Under Fire?

Mumbai – Even before its official screening, the short film “Keetanu – The Germ” has already stirred waves of controversy in film and social circles. Shot entirely in black and white and featuring no dialogues, the film by Neelu Chopra and co-director Ranju Cycloney has been hailed as bold by some — but deeply problematic by others.

The Core of the Controversy: Art or Exploitation?

While many are applauding the film as a "new wave of cinematic expression", several critics and social organizations are questioning its intent. The story revolves around drug-addicted ragpickers and society’s marginalized, portrayed in an intensely raw and bleak light.

Some activists argue that the film romanticizes or exploits the pain of the underprivileged, turning real-life suffering into a dramatic spectacle for awards and acclaim, rather than driving actual awareness or change.

No Dialogue, Yet Too Much To Say?

The filmmakers claim the absence of dialogue is meant to amplify the emotional weight of the visuals. But critics argue that silence in a socially charged subject like addiction may confuse audiences, or worse, strip the characters of their voice — literally and symbolically.

“This isn’t silence for artistic effect — this is silence that mutes an entire community,” one reviewer noted.

 Shooting Locations Spark Backlash

The film was shot in Versova and Madh Jetty in Mumbai — areas close to slum dwellings and underprivileged populations. Allegations have surfaced that local residents were not properly consulted or compensated, leading to discontent within those communities. Some claim the film used these real-life locations without contextual sensitivity.

 Filmmakers Respond: “We’re Just Holding Up a Mirror”

In her defense, Neelu Chopra stated in an interview:

> “Our goal was never to offend — we’re simply showing the harsh truth. If it’s uncomfortable, maybe it’s because it needs to be seen.”

Still, questions persist: Does cinema have a responsibility to protect the dignity of its subjects, even in fiction?

 Critics Divided, Debate Intensifies

Some cinephiles call the film a raw masterpiece, a “silent scream” of those whose stories are never told. Others see it as a calculated move to win critical attention by portraying poverty and addiction through a stylized lens.

The absence of spoken words hasn’t silenced the noise — if anything, it’s made the conversation louder, sharper, and far more polarized.

 Conclusion: The Film is Silent, But the Controversy is Not

“Keetanu – The Germ” might be a short film, but the storm it has created is anything but small. Whether it’s art, exploitation, or activism in disguise — one thing is certain:

Luxury on Wheels: Rajveer Conquers India with a Caravan & Camera

Rajveer Singh Makes History with Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive: A 10,101 KM in a Luxury Caravan Journey Across India

Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive has emerged as a groundbreaking digital movement and luxury travel sensation, capturing national attention and dominating online media. This historic journey, driven by Rajveer Singh is India’s first and only 10,101 km in a luxury caravan expedition where a solo content creator experienced a staycation at every single property of one hotel group—The LaLiT Group —across the country.

A Journey of Grit, Grandeur, and Glory

Flagged off from The LaLiT Mumbai on April 13, the drive remained true to its planned route even after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Rajveer continued his journey with undeterred spirit, visiting The LaLiT Srinagar from May 4 to 6, boldly portraying Kashmir’s beauty and hospitality to the world.

On May 7, while traveling from Kashmir toward Kartarpur, he witnessed Operation Sindoor—a strategic Indian security operation. Just a day later, in Amritsar at 2 AM on May 8, Rajveer experienced a blackout caused by Pakistan’s drone attack, which was neutralized by India's defense systems—proving again that no force could derail this record-breaking journey.

Highways That Shaped the Journey

Best Overall Route: Kerala to Goa – Stunning landscapes, perfect roads, cultural richness.

Most Challenging Route: Goa to Mumbai – Marred by congestion, poor road quality, and delays.

Best Route for Night Travel: Jaipur to Delhi Expressway – Excellent lighting, security, and smooth driving.

Unforgettable Stays at The LaLiT Properties

Rajveer rated these three properties as the most exceptional:

The LaLiT Srinagar – Hospitality that touched the soul, with breathtaking lake views.

The LaLiT Kolkata – A perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and warmth.

The LaLiT Bekal – Immersive serenity, coastal charm, and meticulous service.

Brands That Fueled the Legacy

The campaign was proudly powered by U&I Entertainment and Designistic Global pvt ltd , backed by over 20 esteemed brands, including:

Red Chief, Team Wizard Media, Being You Always, Body Profuse, Krunchillo, French Essence, Andros Food, Bright Outdoor Media, Josh Bharat Media and many more

Designistic Global Media was the post production partner who played a crucial role in transforming the journey into a cinematic experience.

Support from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Kashmir Tourism, and The LaLiT Group as official hospitality partner gave this campaign national strength and significance.

People, Power, and Unprecedented Support

This journey brought together a constellation of influencers and thought leaders:

Creators like Mister Tikku, Dil Se Foodie, Bhookad_Singh and many more joined in city after city.

Entrepreneurs such as Dr. Vishal Kalra, Yukit Vora, Harmeet Singh Gupta, and MasterChef Ishijyot Surri rallied behind the initiative.

In Udaipur, Rajveer had the honor of meeting Maharaja Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, adding royal recognition to this prestigious tour.

Numbers That Speak Volumes

10,101 km covered, 12 luxury stays at The LaLiT Group, 250+ posts and 1,500+ Instagram stories, 100+ million digital impressions.

A Legacy of Firsts

1st content creator to stay at every property of a hotel group in a single country in less than 33 days

1st to drive 10,101 km accross the country in a luxury caravan

1st to continue with a national drive plan even during a regional terror attack & National War With Pakistan.

---

The Road Ahead

This is not just a story of roads and reels—this is about fearless storytelling, unmatched hospitality, and a new benchmark in luxury content experiences. The road was long, but Rajveer’s vision was longer.

एअर इंडिया की फ्लाइट के यात्रियों को बीच रास्ते में उतारा गया, सैन फ्रांसिस्को से आ रहे विमान में तकनीकी खराबी

#indiaflightfromsanfranciscotomumbaisufferstechnical_snag 

अमेरिका के सैन फ्रांसिस्को से मुंबई जाने वाली एयर इंडिया की एक फ्लाइट के इंजन में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई। जिसके बाद मंगलवार तड़के सुबह कोलकाता एयरपोर्ट पर यात्रियों को विमान से नीचे उतारना पड़ा। विमान के एक इंजन के खराबी की वजह से यह विमान कोलकाता से मुंबई के लिए उड़ान नहीं भर सका। कोलकाता से मुंबई के लिए एयर इंडिया दूसरी फ्लाइट का इंतेजाम करना पड़ा।

एअर इंडिया की फ्लाइट AI180 निर्धारित समय के अनुसार सैन फ्रांसिस्को एयरपोर्ट से रवाना हुई। हालांकि, कोलकाता एयरपोर्ट पर सुबह 12:45 बजे पहुंचने पर इसके बाएं इंजन में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई। चार घंटे से अधिक समय बाद सुबह 5:20 बजे एक बताया गया कि सभी यात्रियों को विमान से उतरना होगा। 

कोलकाता में तकनीकी जांच में खराबी का पता चला

सैन फ्रांसिस्को से शुरू हुई यह लंबी दूरी की उड़ान सुचारू रूप से कोलकाता पहुंची, जहां यह नियमित रूप से ईंधन भरवाने और तकनीकी जांच के लिए रुकती है। हालांकि, कोलकाता हवाई अड्डे पर तकनीकी टीम ने विमान के इंजन में एक गंभीर खराबी का पता लगाया। प्रारंभिक जांच में पता चला कि इंजन में ओवरहीटिंग और संभावित मेकैनिकल गड़बड़ी है। इसके कारण पायलट ने उड़ान रद्द करने का फैसला लिया। सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता देते हुए सभी 240 यात्रियों और चालक दल के 14 सदस्यों को तुरंत विमान से सुरक्षित बाहर निकाला गया।

दिल्ली आ रहे प्लेन में आई तकनीकी खराबी

इससे पहले सोमवार को एयर इंडिया के एक और विमान में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई थी जिस वजह से जहाज को वापस लौटना पड़ा। दिल्ली के लिए एयर इंडिया के ड्रीमलाइनर बोइंग विमान के उड़ान भरने के कुछ ही देर में उसमें तकनीकी समस्या आ गई जिसकी वजह उसे वापस हॉन्गकॉन्ग लौटना पड़ा। एयरलाइन की ओर से इस मामले में एक बयान जारी किया गया जिसमें उसने बताया कि फ्लाइट संख्या AI 315 ने हॉन्गकॉन्ग में सेफ लैंडिंग की, सभी यात्री सकुशल उतर गए भी। बाद में फ्लाइट का निरीक्षण किया गया।

अहमदाबाद हादसे के बाद डर का माहौल

घटना पांच दिन पहले अहमदाबाद के सरदार वल्लभभाई अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे से लंदन के गैटविक हवाई अड्डे के लिए उड़ान भरने वाले एअर इंडिया के विमान एआई-171 के उड़ान भरने के कुछ ही सेकंड बाद बीजे मेडिकल कॉलेज के छात्रावास भवन से टकराने के बाद हुई। दुर्घटनाग्रस्त हुए एअर इंडिया के विमान में 230 यात्री, 10 केबिन क्रू सदस्य और दो पायलट सहित 242 लोग सवार थे। ब्रिटिश नागरिक विश्वास कुमार रमेश को छोड़कर सभी की मौत हो गई थी।

‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ Becomes a Movement of Unity

Rajveer Singh’s Bold Step to Support Kashmir: ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ to Proceed with Srinagar Visit Despite Recent Tragedy

In the face of sorrow and uncertainty, when the entire nation mourns the heartbreaking loss of innocent tourists in Pahalgam, one voice rises with purpose, compassion, and unwavering patriotism. Rajveer Singh India’s beloved digital creator and a symbol of youth strength, has taken a powerful and emotional stand—he will not cancel the Srinagar leg of his ongoing campaign, 'Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive.'

While many are questioning the future of tourism in Kashmir, Rajveer’s decision has sparked a new wave of hope. His visit to Srinagar on 4th May stands as a tribute to the spirit of unity, trust in the Indian Army, and the beauty of Kashmir—the crown of India.

Is this the end of Kashmir’s tourism dream? Are we letting fear overshadow the essence of one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth? Can the valley’s warm-hearted people and incredible landscapes continue to attract visitors? Rajveer’s bold decision answers them all with one powerful message: India stands with Kashmir.

As part of his historic ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive,’ Rajveer is traveling across the country in a caravan specially modified by Camper Wheels, beautifully branded with elements of the Indian tricolor. His journey is not just a celebration of India’s diverse landscapes and culture but also a testament to the spirit of Bharat and unity among all.

On 23rd April, Rajveer celebrated his birthday at The LaLiT Udaipur, where he was surprised with a personal visit by Yukit Yora, one of the associate partners of the drive. Gifts poured in from campaign sponsors, making the day even more memorable. Today, on 26th April, Rajveer has reached his 6th destination: The Pink City, The LaLiT Jaipur.

Rajveer’s journey has already covered thousands of kilometers and countless emotions. Speaking of the roads, he shared some highlights of India’s evolving highway infrastructure:

Best Highway (Scenic + Driving Comfort): The Kerala to Goa coastal stretch, covering around 610 km in approx. 13 hours, stood out with its breathtaking views and smooth drive.

Best Night Drive: The Udaipur to Jaipur highway (around 395 km, 7.5 hours) offered great lighting, minimal traffic, and felt secure for overnight travel.

Worst Experience So Far: The Goa to Mumbai highway (approx. 590 km, 12 hours) was flagged by Rajveer for its poor condition and lack of lighting, making it extremely unsafe and highly accident-prone, especially for night drives.

As crowds greet his caravan on highways and locals stop by for photos and blessings, the success of ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ is turning into a national movement—one of hope, resilience, and pride.

Why your resume (mostly) doesn’t matter - Nishtha Desai

 

TEDx Talk | YoutubeMr. Sarabjeet Sachar, founder and CEO of Aspiration Jobs, recently gave an inspiring TEDx talk during TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, sharing new ideas on how value-based connections play a critical role in professional development. The speaker told us that success often does not hinge on resumes or traditional job applications, but rather on building valuable, meaningful relationships that position one on the right path for opportunities to knock.

TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, themed “Semicolon; Pausing to Connect,” brings together a diverse array of speakers and curators to explore the power of intentional pauses and meaningful connections in our lives; has the reputation for providing a platform to ideas that are worth spreading, gave the best platform to this thought-provoking presentation. The proceedings were efficiently planned by Harsh Thakkar (Licensee), Sahaj Tyagi (Co-licensee), Siya Kachhela (Head Curator), Vraj Dangarwala (First Curator), and Yug Desai (Post Production Lead) so that every moment of the event was memorable for everyone in attendance.

The author, Nishtha Desai emphasizes the significance of forming genuine relationships during one's career path. According to her, the emphasis must be on proving oneself, making personal and professional values align with the company mission, and being around people with the same intentions. For her, a career founded on sincere connections is more fulfilling and successful than one focused only on resumes and automated processes.

Crux of the Topic

In his presentation, Sarabjeet Sachar brought forth the revolutionary idea of value-based relationships, breaking from the conventional dependence on resumes in job searching. He identified how the dependence on resumes generated by artificial intelligence and generic keywords tends to derail the recruitment process, making it increasingly difficult for the candidates to get noticed. The actual key to professional success, he contended, is being a problem-solver, not merely a set of credentials.

Details 

It started at the age of 21, when a newly graduated student was commuting on a local train in Mumbai. Enthusiastically talking about a dream to have a career in sales, this person was excited about the prospect of meeting people, knowing their problems, and providing tailored solutions. Unaware to them, a regional sales manager from a major pharmaceutical firm happened to overhear the conversation. Influenced by their passion and commitment in their words, the manager went up to the graduate and gave them his business card, inviting them in for an interview. No resume was required; it was the passion and commitment that got them the job.

This was the starting point of a successful career in sales, where the person rose through the ranks to senior levels in well-known companies like Times of India, Indian Express, The Hindu, India Today, and ZTV Network. In all these shifts, the emphasis remained on demonstrating their worth and love, instead of talking of a resume.

The central takeaway here is that the traditional resume may open doors, but it’s the authentic value you bring that will truly walk you through them. Research and preparation are key. Much like a business consultant, job seekers should approach potential employers by understanding their needs and positioning themselves as solution providers. This requires a shift in mindset—viewing the job search process not as a race to submit applications, but as an opportunity to build meaningful, value-driven connections.

The presentation touched on some of the real-life scenarios in which professionals constructed their careers by intentionally concentrating on value-based network construction. Sarabjeet Sachar narrated examples of people such as Amit and Simon, who were able to switch into new fields and gain leadership positions by matching their capabilities with the precise requirements of their potential employers.

This creative strategy is opposite to the conventional thinking of writing a resume based on a job description. Sachar emphasized that employers are not seeking flawless resumes but those who can provide solutions to their issues. By establishing these connections via networking and reciprocal value, professionals can tap into job opportunities that are not listed on conventional job boards.

Conclusion

As Sarabjeet Sachar finished speaking, he challenged the audience to change their career development mindset. Rather than just concentrating on resumes, professionals need to work towards building deep, genuine relationships founded on common values. These will open doors to opportunities and drive career progression in a more profound manner.

The TEDxGoldenBridge Studio event gave a new insight into job seeking and career development, urging working professionals to aim at establishing value-based relationships to thrive in the competitive job market of today.

*Mumbai City FC brush past Chennaiyin in Kalinga Super Cup*

Sports 

 BHUBANESWAR : Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a captain’s performance with a dazzling brace as Mumbai City FC breezed past Chennaiyin FC 4-0 in a dominant Round of 16 encounter of the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The first half ended 1-0.

Nikolaos Karelis (43’) scored the first goal for Mumbai City FC at the stroke of half time before Lallianzuala Chhangte (64’, 86’) stole the show with his two goals. Substitute Bipin Singh (90’) capped off the win with a strike in the last minute. 

Mumbai City FC, still smarting from a heavy 0-5 defeat against Bengaluru FC in the ISL knockout rounds, responded in emphatic fashion to book their place in the Kalinga Super Cup quarter-finals. Their opponents, Chennaiyin FC, had finished a disappointing 11th in the ISL, and their Super Cup journey came to an end after another underwhelming performance.

From the opening whistle, Mumbai City were on the front foot. The attacking trio of Chhangte, Karelis, and Jorge Ortiz looked sharp, with intricate passing and excellent movement that repeatedly exposed gaps in the Chennaiyin backline.

Chhangte nearly opened the scoring early on when he latched onto a defensive error, glided past his marker and unleashed a shot towards the far post only to see it come back off the woodwork.

Chennaiyin struggled to settle into the game and were denied what looked like a potential penalty after Daniel Chima Chukwu was brought down in the box by Vikram Pratap Singh, but the referee waved play on.

The breakthrough finally came in the 43rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell kindly to Hitesh Sharma, who lofted a teasing ball into the box. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz was a tad late in coming out to affect a save and Nikolaos Karelis made no mistake, nodding home from close range to put the Islanders ahead at the break.

After the interval, Mumbai City resumed their control. Ortiz and Chhangte combined beautifully to carve open chances, and the latter came close again before Chennaiyin nearly found an equaliser. Lukas Brambilla danced past Mumbai City goalkeeper TP Rehenesh and seemed destined to score, but Mehtab Singh’s goal-line clearance denied Chennaiyin a lifeline.

That moment proved to be the turning point. In the 64th minute, Ortiz once again danced past his marker and slipped Karelis in behind. The Greek forward’s effort across goal wasn’t the cleanest, but Chhangte was there at the far post to tap it into an open net and double Mumbai City’s lead.

Chhangte struck again in the 86th minute with a touch of class. Ortiz played a sublime outside-of-the-boot flick to send him through. The winger cut inside on his favoured left foot and curled a low shot past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

In the last minute of the game, Chhangte turned provider. A delicate scooped pass found Bipin Singh in the box, who brushed aside pressure from Mandar Rao Desai and calmly slotted home to complete the rout.

Lallianzuala Chhangte was presented the Kalinga Player of the Match award

कैसे दोस्त की गवाही ने बढ़ाई तहव्वुर राणा की मुश्किलें? डेविड हेडली ने खोले थे मुंबई हमले की साजिश के राज

#davidheadleyrevealtahawwurranaroleinmumbaiattack

26/11 मुंबई हमले को अंजाम देने में अहम भूमिका निभाने वाले तहव्वुर राणा भारत आ चुका है। अमेरिका से तहव्वुर राणा का प्रत्यार्पण सरकार, भारतीय एजेंसियों और भारत की डिप्लोमेसी की बहुत बड़ी जीत मानी जा रही है। राणा पर आतंकी हमलों की साजिश रचने का आरोप है। इसका खुलासा उसके बचपन के दोस्त और आतंकी हमलों के मुख्य आरोपी डेविड कोलमैन हेडली की गवाही से हुआ था।

सबसे पहले जानते हैं डॉक्टर से बिजनेसमैन और फिर आतंकी बना तहव्वुर हुसैन राणा के बारे में। 26/11 आतंकी हमले का साजिशकर्ता 64 वर्षीय तहव्वुर राणा का जन्म पाकिस्तान के पंजाब प्रांत के चिचावतनी शहर में हुआ था। मेडिकल की पढ़ाई पूरी करने के बाद वह पाकिस्तानी सेना की मेडिकल कोर में शामिल हो गया। लेकिन, 1990 के दशक के आखिर में तहव्वुर राणा ने पाकिस्तानी आर्मी छोड़ दी और कनाडा चला गया। लेकिन, यहां भी कुछ साल रहने के बाद वह अमेरिका चला गया और यहां इसने शिकागो में अपना इमिग्रेशन बिजनेस शुरू किया। तहव्वुर ने ‘फर्स्ट वर्ल्ड इमिग्रेशन सर्विसेज’ नाम से अपना कारोबार जमाया।

हेडली के संपर्क में आकर राणा आतंकी गतिविधियों से जुड़ा

राणा के इसी ऑफिस ने हेडली को भारत में आने में मदद की। हेडली का असली नाम दाऊद सईद गिलानी था। वह एक पाकिस्तानी-अमेरिकी नागरिक है। उसका पिता पाकिस्तानी है और मां अमेरिका से ताल्लुक रखती हैं। अमेरिका में डेविड हेडली के संपर्क में आने के बाद तहव्वुर राणा आतंकी गतिविधियों में शामिल हो गया। इस दौरान वह लश्कर-ए-तैयबा से जुड़ गया। भारतीय जांच एजेंसियों के अनुसार, राणा ने 26/11 मुंबई हमलों की योजना बनाने में हेडली की मदद की थी। हेडली और राणा ने कथित तौर पर लश्कर-ए-तैयबा और हरकत-उल जिहादी इस्लामी के साथ मिलकर मुंबई और अन्य भारतीय शहरों में हमले करने की साजिश रची थी।

2016 में हेडली मुंबई की विशेष कोर्ट में हुआ था पेश

मुंबई में हुए आतंकवादी हमले के करीब एक साल बाद दोनों को गिरफ्तार किया गया था। अक्टूबर 2009 में अमेरिकी अधिकारियों ने हेडली और तहव्वुर राणा को गिरफ्तार किया था। 2010 में हेडली ने सभी आरोपों को स्वीकार कर लिया था। उसने यह बात कबूल की थी कि 26/11 आतंकी हमले में उसकी भूमिका थी। 2016 में हेडली अमेरिका की अज्ञात जगह से वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग के जरिए मुंबई की एक विशेष कोर्ट के समक्ष पेश हुआ था। उससे विशेष लोक अभियोजक उज्ज्वल निकम और बचाव पक्ष के वकील वहाब खान ने पूछताछ की थी।

इस दौरान हेडली ने खुलासा किया कि वह राणा के साथ लगातार संपर्क में था। दोनों ने अपनी अवैध गतिविधियों को छिपाने के लिए मुंबई में एक व्यावसायिक कार्यालय खोलने की अनुमति भी ली थी।

5 साल का बिजनेस वीजा दिलाने में मदद की

गवाही के दौरान हेडली ने कहा था, जुलाई 2006 में मैं राणा से मिलने के लिए शिकागो गया था और उसे उस मिशन (मुंबई पर हमले) के बारे में बताया था जो लश्कर ने मुझे सौंपा था। राणा ने मुंबई में एक फर्स्ट वर्ल्ड इमिग्रेशन सर्विसेज नाम से कार्यालय स्थापित करने की मेरी योजना को मंजूरी दी थी और उसे 5 साल का बिजनेस वीजा प्राप्त करने में मदद की थी।

हमलों से पहले 8 बार भारत आ हेडली

हेडली ने कहा था, मुंबई पर हमला करने वाले 10 आतंकवादियों ने उसी साल सितंबर-अक्टूबर में हमले के असफल प्रयास किए थे। हेडली ने कहा कि वह हमलों से पहले 8 बार और बाद में एक बार भारत आया था। हेडली ने बताया कि उसने रैकी की और बॉलीवुड सितारों से दोस्ती की। हेडली ने ये भी बताया कि उसने आईएसआई के मेजर अली और मेजर इकबाल से मुलाकात की, जिन्होंने उसकी मुलाकात हैंडलर साजिद मीर से करवाई।

“Keetanu – The Germ”: A Film or a Harsh Social Reality Under Fire?

Mumbai – Even before its official screening, the short film “Keetanu – The Germ” has already stirred waves of controversy in film and social circles. Shot entirely in black and white and featuring no dialogues, the film by Neelu Chopra and co-director Ranju Cycloney has been hailed as bold by some — but deeply problematic by others.

The Core of the Controversy: Art or Exploitation?

While many are applauding the film as a "new wave of cinematic expression", several critics and social organizations are questioning its intent. The story revolves around drug-addicted ragpickers and society’s marginalized, portrayed in an intensely raw and bleak light.

Some activists argue that the film romanticizes or exploits the pain of the underprivileged, turning real-life suffering into a dramatic spectacle for awards and acclaim, rather than driving actual awareness or change.

No Dialogue, Yet Too Much To Say?

The filmmakers claim the absence of dialogue is meant to amplify the emotional weight of the visuals. But critics argue that silence in a socially charged subject like addiction may confuse audiences, or worse, strip the characters of their voice — literally and symbolically.

“This isn’t silence for artistic effect — this is silence that mutes an entire community,” one reviewer noted.

 Shooting Locations Spark Backlash

The film was shot in Versova and Madh Jetty in Mumbai — areas close to slum dwellings and underprivileged populations. Allegations have surfaced that local residents were not properly consulted or compensated, leading to discontent within those communities. Some claim the film used these real-life locations without contextual sensitivity.

 Filmmakers Respond: “We’re Just Holding Up a Mirror”

In her defense, Neelu Chopra stated in an interview:

> “Our goal was never to offend — we’re simply showing the harsh truth. If it’s uncomfortable, maybe it’s because it needs to be seen.”

Still, questions persist: Does cinema have a responsibility to protect the dignity of its subjects, even in fiction?

 Critics Divided, Debate Intensifies

Some cinephiles call the film a raw masterpiece, a “silent scream” of those whose stories are never told. Others see it as a calculated move to win critical attention by portraying poverty and addiction through a stylized lens.

The absence of spoken words hasn’t silenced the noise — if anything, it’s made the conversation louder, sharper, and far more polarized.

 Conclusion: The Film is Silent, But the Controversy is Not

“Keetanu – The Germ” might be a short film, but the storm it has created is anything but small. Whether it’s art, exploitation, or activism in disguise — one thing is certain:

Luxury on Wheels: Rajveer Conquers India with a Caravan & Camera

Rajveer Singh Makes History with Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive: A 10,101 KM in a Luxury Caravan Journey Across India

Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive has emerged as a groundbreaking digital movement and luxury travel sensation, capturing national attention and dominating online media. This historic journey, driven by Rajveer Singh is India’s first and only 10,101 km in a luxury caravan expedition where a solo content creator experienced a staycation at every single property of one hotel group—The LaLiT Group —across the country.

A Journey of Grit, Grandeur, and Glory

Flagged off from The LaLiT Mumbai on April 13, the drive remained true to its planned route even after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Rajveer continued his journey with undeterred spirit, visiting The LaLiT Srinagar from May 4 to 6, boldly portraying Kashmir’s beauty and hospitality to the world.

On May 7, while traveling from Kashmir toward Kartarpur, he witnessed Operation Sindoor—a strategic Indian security operation. Just a day later, in Amritsar at 2 AM on May 8, Rajveer experienced a blackout caused by Pakistan’s drone attack, which was neutralized by India's defense systems—proving again that no force could derail this record-breaking journey.

Highways That Shaped the Journey

Best Overall Route: Kerala to Goa – Stunning landscapes, perfect roads, cultural richness.

Most Challenging Route: Goa to Mumbai – Marred by congestion, poor road quality, and delays.

Best Route for Night Travel: Jaipur to Delhi Expressway – Excellent lighting, security, and smooth driving.

Unforgettable Stays at The LaLiT Properties

Rajveer rated these three properties as the most exceptional:

The LaLiT Srinagar – Hospitality that touched the soul, with breathtaking lake views.

The LaLiT Kolkata – A perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and warmth.

The LaLiT Bekal – Immersive serenity, coastal charm, and meticulous service.

Brands That Fueled the Legacy

The campaign was proudly powered by U&I Entertainment and Designistic Global pvt ltd , backed by over 20 esteemed brands, including:

Red Chief, Team Wizard Media, Being You Always, Body Profuse, Krunchillo, French Essence, Andros Food, Bright Outdoor Media, Josh Bharat Media and many more

Designistic Global Media was the post production partner who played a crucial role in transforming the journey into a cinematic experience.

Support from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Kashmir Tourism, and The LaLiT Group as official hospitality partner gave this campaign national strength and significance.

People, Power, and Unprecedented Support

This journey brought together a constellation of influencers and thought leaders:

Creators like Mister Tikku, Dil Se Foodie, Bhookad_Singh and many more joined in city after city.

Entrepreneurs such as Dr. Vishal Kalra, Yukit Vora, Harmeet Singh Gupta, and MasterChef Ishijyot Surri rallied behind the initiative.

In Udaipur, Rajveer had the honor of meeting Maharaja Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, adding royal recognition to this prestigious tour.

Numbers That Speak Volumes

10,101 km covered, 12 luxury stays at The LaLiT Group, 250+ posts and 1,500+ Instagram stories, 100+ million digital impressions.

A Legacy of Firsts

1st content creator to stay at every property of a hotel group in a single country in less than 33 days

1st to drive 10,101 km accross the country in a luxury caravan

1st to continue with a national drive plan even during a regional terror attack & National War With Pakistan.

---

The Road Ahead

This is not just a story of roads and reels—this is about fearless storytelling, unmatched hospitality, and a new benchmark in luxury content experiences. The road was long, but Rajveer’s vision was longer.

एअर इंडिया की फ्लाइट के यात्रियों को बीच रास्ते में उतारा गया, सैन फ्रांसिस्को से आ रहे विमान में तकनीकी खराबी

#indiaflightfromsanfranciscotomumbaisufferstechnical_snag 

अमेरिका के सैन फ्रांसिस्को से मुंबई जाने वाली एयर इंडिया की एक फ्लाइट के इंजन में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई। जिसके बाद मंगलवार तड़के सुबह कोलकाता एयरपोर्ट पर यात्रियों को विमान से नीचे उतारना पड़ा। विमान के एक इंजन के खराबी की वजह से यह विमान कोलकाता से मुंबई के लिए उड़ान नहीं भर सका। कोलकाता से मुंबई के लिए एयर इंडिया दूसरी फ्लाइट का इंतेजाम करना पड़ा।

एअर इंडिया की फ्लाइट AI180 निर्धारित समय के अनुसार सैन फ्रांसिस्को एयरपोर्ट से रवाना हुई। हालांकि, कोलकाता एयरपोर्ट पर सुबह 12:45 बजे पहुंचने पर इसके बाएं इंजन में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई। चार घंटे से अधिक समय बाद सुबह 5:20 बजे एक बताया गया कि सभी यात्रियों को विमान से उतरना होगा। 

कोलकाता में तकनीकी जांच में खराबी का पता चला

सैन फ्रांसिस्को से शुरू हुई यह लंबी दूरी की उड़ान सुचारू रूप से कोलकाता पहुंची, जहां यह नियमित रूप से ईंधन भरवाने और तकनीकी जांच के लिए रुकती है। हालांकि, कोलकाता हवाई अड्डे पर तकनीकी टीम ने विमान के इंजन में एक गंभीर खराबी का पता लगाया। प्रारंभिक जांच में पता चला कि इंजन में ओवरहीटिंग और संभावित मेकैनिकल गड़बड़ी है। इसके कारण पायलट ने उड़ान रद्द करने का फैसला लिया। सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता देते हुए सभी 240 यात्रियों और चालक दल के 14 सदस्यों को तुरंत विमान से सुरक्षित बाहर निकाला गया।

दिल्ली आ रहे प्लेन में आई तकनीकी खराबी

इससे पहले सोमवार को एयर इंडिया के एक और विमान में तकनीकी खराबी आ गई थी जिस वजह से जहाज को वापस लौटना पड़ा। दिल्ली के लिए एयर इंडिया के ड्रीमलाइनर बोइंग विमान के उड़ान भरने के कुछ ही देर में उसमें तकनीकी समस्या आ गई जिसकी वजह उसे वापस हॉन्गकॉन्ग लौटना पड़ा। एयरलाइन की ओर से इस मामले में एक बयान जारी किया गया जिसमें उसने बताया कि फ्लाइट संख्या AI 315 ने हॉन्गकॉन्ग में सेफ लैंडिंग की, सभी यात्री सकुशल उतर गए भी। बाद में फ्लाइट का निरीक्षण किया गया।

अहमदाबाद हादसे के बाद डर का माहौल

घटना पांच दिन पहले अहमदाबाद के सरदार वल्लभभाई अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे से लंदन के गैटविक हवाई अड्डे के लिए उड़ान भरने वाले एअर इंडिया के विमान एआई-171 के उड़ान भरने के कुछ ही सेकंड बाद बीजे मेडिकल कॉलेज के छात्रावास भवन से टकराने के बाद हुई। दुर्घटनाग्रस्त हुए एअर इंडिया के विमान में 230 यात्री, 10 केबिन क्रू सदस्य और दो पायलट सहित 242 लोग सवार थे। ब्रिटिश नागरिक विश्वास कुमार रमेश को छोड़कर सभी की मौत हो गई थी।

‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ Becomes a Movement of Unity

Rajveer Singh’s Bold Step to Support Kashmir: ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ to Proceed with Srinagar Visit Despite Recent Tragedy

In the face of sorrow and uncertainty, when the entire nation mourns the heartbreaking loss of innocent tourists in Pahalgam, one voice rises with purpose, compassion, and unwavering patriotism. Rajveer Singh India’s beloved digital creator and a symbol of youth strength, has taken a powerful and emotional stand—he will not cancel the Srinagar leg of his ongoing campaign, 'Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive.'

While many are questioning the future of tourism in Kashmir, Rajveer’s decision has sparked a new wave of hope. His visit to Srinagar on 4th May stands as a tribute to the spirit of unity, trust in the Indian Army, and the beauty of Kashmir—the crown of India.

Is this the end of Kashmir’s tourism dream? Are we letting fear overshadow the essence of one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth? Can the valley’s warm-hearted people and incredible landscapes continue to attract visitors? Rajveer’s bold decision answers them all with one powerful message: India stands with Kashmir.

As part of his historic ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive,’ Rajveer is traveling across the country in a caravan specially modified by Camper Wheels, beautifully branded with elements of the Indian tricolor. His journey is not just a celebration of India’s diverse landscapes and culture but also a testament to the spirit of Bharat and unity among all.

On 23rd April, Rajveer celebrated his birthday at The LaLiT Udaipur, where he was surprised with a personal visit by Yukit Yora, one of the associate partners of the drive. Gifts poured in from campaign sponsors, making the day even more memorable. Today, on 26th April, Rajveer has reached his 6th destination: The Pink City, The LaLiT Jaipur.

Rajveer’s journey has already covered thousands of kilometers and countless emotions. Speaking of the roads, he shared some highlights of India’s evolving highway infrastructure:

Best Highway (Scenic + Driving Comfort): The Kerala to Goa coastal stretch, covering around 610 km in approx. 13 hours, stood out with its breathtaking views and smooth drive.

Best Night Drive: The Udaipur to Jaipur highway (around 395 km, 7.5 hours) offered great lighting, minimal traffic, and felt secure for overnight travel.

Worst Experience So Far: The Goa to Mumbai highway (approx. 590 km, 12 hours) was flagged by Rajveer for its poor condition and lack of lighting, making it extremely unsafe and highly accident-prone, especially for night drives.

As crowds greet his caravan on highways and locals stop by for photos and blessings, the success of ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ is turning into a national movement—one of hope, resilience, and pride.

Why your resume (mostly) doesn’t matter - Nishtha Desai

 

TEDx Talk | YoutubeMr. Sarabjeet Sachar, founder and CEO of Aspiration Jobs, recently gave an inspiring TEDx talk during TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, sharing new ideas on how value-based connections play a critical role in professional development. The speaker told us that success often does not hinge on resumes or traditional job applications, but rather on building valuable, meaningful relationships that position one on the right path for opportunities to knock.

TEDxGoldenBridge Studio, themed “Semicolon; Pausing to Connect,” brings together a diverse array of speakers and curators to explore the power of intentional pauses and meaningful connections in our lives; has the reputation for providing a platform to ideas that are worth spreading, gave the best platform to this thought-provoking presentation. The proceedings were efficiently planned by Harsh Thakkar (Licensee), Sahaj Tyagi (Co-licensee), Siya Kachhela (Head Curator), Vraj Dangarwala (First Curator), and Yug Desai (Post Production Lead) so that every moment of the event was memorable for everyone in attendance.

The author, Nishtha Desai emphasizes the significance of forming genuine relationships during one's career path. According to her, the emphasis must be on proving oneself, making personal and professional values align with the company mission, and being around people with the same intentions. For her, a career founded on sincere connections is more fulfilling and successful than one focused only on resumes and automated processes.

Crux of the Topic

In his presentation, Sarabjeet Sachar brought forth the revolutionary idea of value-based relationships, breaking from the conventional dependence on resumes in job searching. He identified how the dependence on resumes generated by artificial intelligence and generic keywords tends to derail the recruitment process, making it increasingly difficult for the candidates to get noticed. The actual key to professional success, he contended, is being a problem-solver, not merely a set of credentials.

Details 

It started at the age of 21, when a newly graduated student was commuting on a local train in Mumbai. Enthusiastically talking about a dream to have a career in sales, this person was excited about the prospect of meeting people, knowing their problems, and providing tailored solutions. Unaware to them, a regional sales manager from a major pharmaceutical firm happened to overhear the conversation. Influenced by their passion and commitment in their words, the manager went up to the graduate and gave them his business card, inviting them in for an interview. No resume was required; it was the passion and commitment that got them the job.

This was the starting point of a successful career in sales, where the person rose through the ranks to senior levels in well-known companies like Times of India, Indian Express, The Hindu, India Today, and ZTV Network. In all these shifts, the emphasis remained on demonstrating their worth and love, instead of talking of a resume.

The central takeaway here is that the traditional resume may open doors, but it’s the authentic value you bring that will truly walk you through them. Research and preparation are key. Much like a business consultant, job seekers should approach potential employers by understanding their needs and positioning themselves as solution providers. This requires a shift in mindset—viewing the job search process not as a race to submit applications, but as an opportunity to build meaningful, value-driven connections.

The presentation touched on some of the real-life scenarios in which professionals constructed their careers by intentionally concentrating on value-based network construction. Sarabjeet Sachar narrated examples of people such as Amit and Simon, who were able to switch into new fields and gain leadership positions by matching their capabilities with the precise requirements of their potential employers.

This creative strategy is opposite to the conventional thinking of writing a resume based on a job description. Sachar emphasized that employers are not seeking flawless resumes but those who can provide solutions to their issues. By establishing these connections via networking and reciprocal value, professionals can tap into job opportunities that are not listed on conventional job boards.

Conclusion

As Sarabjeet Sachar finished speaking, he challenged the audience to change their career development mindset. Rather than just concentrating on resumes, professionals need to work towards building deep, genuine relationships founded on common values. These will open doors to opportunities and drive career progression in a more profound manner.

The TEDxGoldenBridge Studio event gave a new insight into job seeking and career development, urging working professionals to aim at establishing value-based relationships to thrive in the competitive job market of today.

*Mumbai City FC brush past Chennaiyin in Kalinga Super Cup*

Sports 

 BHUBANESWAR : Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a captain’s performance with a dazzling brace as Mumbai City FC breezed past Chennaiyin FC 4-0 in a dominant Round of 16 encounter of the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The first half ended 1-0.

Nikolaos Karelis (43’) scored the first goal for Mumbai City FC at the stroke of half time before Lallianzuala Chhangte (64’, 86’) stole the show with his two goals. Substitute Bipin Singh (90’) capped off the win with a strike in the last minute. 

Mumbai City FC, still smarting from a heavy 0-5 defeat against Bengaluru FC in the ISL knockout rounds, responded in emphatic fashion to book their place in the Kalinga Super Cup quarter-finals. Their opponents, Chennaiyin FC, had finished a disappointing 11th in the ISL, and their Super Cup journey came to an end after another underwhelming performance.

From the opening whistle, Mumbai City were on the front foot. The attacking trio of Chhangte, Karelis, and Jorge Ortiz looked sharp, with intricate passing and excellent movement that repeatedly exposed gaps in the Chennaiyin backline.

Chhangte nearly opened the scoring early on when he latched onto a defensive error, glided past his marker and unleashed a shot towards the far post only to see it come back off the woodwork.

Chennaiyin struggled to settle into the game and were denied what looked like a potential penalty after Daniel Chima Chukwu was brought down in the box by Vikram Pratap Singh, but the referee waved play on.

The breakthrough finally came in the 43rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell kindly to Hitesh Sharma, who lofted a teasing ball into the box. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz was a tad late in coming out to affect a save and Nikolaos Karelis made no mistake, nodding home from close range to put the Islanders ahead at the break.

After the interval, Mumbai City resumed their control. Ortiz and Chhangte combined beautifully to carve open chances, and the latter came close again before Chennaiyin nearly found an equaliser. Lukas Brambilla danced past Mumbai City goalkeeper TP Rehenesh and seemed destined to score, but Mehtab Singh’s goal-line clearance denied Chennaiyin a lifeline.

That moment proved to be the turning point. In the 64th minute, Ortiz once again danced past his marker and slipped Karelis in behind. The Greek forward’s effort across goal wasn’t the cleanest, but Chhangte was there at the far post to tap it into an open net and double Mumbai City’s lead.

Chhangte struck again in the 86th minute with a touch of class. Ortiz played a sublime outside-of-the-boot flick to send him through. The winger cut inside on his favoured left foot and curled a low shot past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

In the last minute of the game, Chhangte turned provider. A delicate scooped pass found Bipin Singh in the box, who brushed aside pressure from Mandar Rao Desai and calmly slotted home to complete the rout.

Lallianzuala Chhangte was presented the Kalinga Player of the Match award

कैसे दोस्त की गवाही ने बढ़ाई तहव्वुर राणा की मुश्किलें? डेविड हेडली ने खोले थे मुंबई हमले की साजिश के राज

#davidheadleyrevealtahawwurranaroleinmumbaiattack

26/11 मुंबई हमले को अंजाम देने में अहम भूमिका निभाने वाले तहव्वुर राणा भारत आ चुका है। अमेरिका से तहव्वुर राणा का प्रत्यार्पण सरकार, भारतीय एजेंसियों और भारत की डिप्लोमेसी की बहुत बड़ी जीत मानी जा रही है। राणा पर आतंकी हमलों की साजिश रचने का आरोप है। इसका खुलासा उसके बचपन के दोस्त और आतंकी हमलों के मुख्य आरोपी डेविड कोलमैन हेडली की गवाही से हुआ था।

सबसे पहले जानते हैं डॉक्टर से बिजनेसमैन और फिर आतंकी बना तहव्वुर हुसैन राणा के बारे में। 26/11 आतंकी हमले का साजिशकर्ता 64 वर्षीय तहव्वुर राणा का जन्म पाकिस्तान के पंजाब प्रांत के चिचावतनी शहर में हुआ था। मेडिकल की पढ़ाई पूरी करने के बाद वह पाकिस्तानी सेना की मेडिकल कोर में शामिल हो गया। लेकिन, 1990 के दशक के आखिर में तहव्वुर राणा ने पाकिस्तानी आर्मी छोड़ दी और कनाडा चला गया। लेकिन, यहां भी कुछ साल रहने के बाद वह अमेरिका चला गया और यहां इसने शिकागो में अपना इमिग्रेशन बिजनेस शुरू किया। तहव्वुर ने ‘फर्स्ट वर्ल्ड इमिग्रेशन सर्विसेज’ नाम से अपना कारोबार जमाया।

हेडली के संपर्क में आकर राणा आतंकी गतिविधियों से जुड़ा

राणा के इसी ऑफिस ने हेडली को भारत में आने में मदद की। हेडली का असली नाम दाऊद सईद गिलानी था। वह एक पाकिस्तानी-अमेरिकी नागरिक है। उसका पिता पाकिस्तानी है और मां अमेरिका से ताल्लुक रखती हैं। अमेरिका में डेविड हेडली के संपर्क में आने के बाद तहव्वुर राणा आतंकी गतिविधियों में शामिल हो गया। इस दौरान वह लश्कर-ए-तैयबा से जुड़ गया। भारतीय जांच एजेंसियों के अनुसार, राणा ने 26/11 मुंबई हमलों की योजना बनाने में हेडली की मदद की थी। हेडली और राणा ने कथित तौर पर लश्कर-ए-तैयबा और हरकत-उल जिहादी इस्लामी के साथ मिलकर मुंबई और अन्य भारतीय शहरों में हमले करने की साजिश रची थी।

2016 में हेडली मुंबई की विशेष कोर्ट में हुआ था पेश

मुंबई में हुए आतंकवादी हमले के करीब एक साल बाद दोनों को गिरफ्तार किया गया था। अक्टूबर 2009 में अमेरिकी अधिकारियों ने हेडली और तहव्वुर राणा को गिरफ्तार किया था। 2010 में हेडली ने सभी आरोपों को स्वीकार कर लिया था। उसने यह बात कबूल की थी कि 26/11 आतंकी हमले में उसकी भूमिका थी। 2016 में हेडली अमेरिका की अज्ञात जगह से वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग के जरिए मुंबई की एक विशेष कोर्ट के समक्ष पेश हुआ था। उससे विशेष लोक अभियोजक उज्ज्वल निकम और बचाव पक्ष के वकील वहाब खान ने पूछताछ की थी।

इस दौरान हेडली ने खुलासा किया कि वह राणा के साथ लगातार संपर्क में था। दोनों ने अपनी अवैध गतिविधियों को छिपाने के लिए मुंबई में एक व्यावसायिक कार्यालय खोलने की अनुमति भी ली थी।

5 साल का बिजनेस वीजा दिलाने में मदद की

गवाही के दौरान हेडली ने कहा था, जुलाई 2006 में मैं राणा से मिलने के लिए शिकागो गया था और उसे उस मिशन (मुंबई पर हमले) के बारे में बताया था जो लश्कर ने मुझे सौंपा था। राणा ने मुंबई में एक फर्स्ट वर्ल्ड इमिग्रेशन सर्विसेज नाम से कार्यालय स्थापित करने की मेरी योजना को मंजूरी दी थी और उसे 5 साल का बिजनेस वीजा प्राप्त करने में मदद की थी।

हमलों से पहले 8 बार भारत आ हेडली

हेडली ने कहा था, मुंबई पर हमला करने वाले 10 आतंकवादियों ने उसी साल सितंबर-अक्टूबर में हमले के असफल प्रयास किए थे। हेडली ने कहा कि वह हमलों से पहले 8 बार और बाद में एक बार भारत आया था। हेडली ने बताया कि उसने रैकी की और बॉलीवुड सितारों से दोस्ती की। हेडली ने ये भी बताया कि उसने आईएसआई के मेजर अली और मेजर इकबाल से मुलाकात की, जिन्होंने उसकी मुलाकात हैंडलर साजिद मीर से करवाई।
