Gifts given to Jacqueline, Nora Fatehi by conman Sukesh likely to be seized by ED

“Jacqueline told us that she didn’t know the background of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and she was ready to cooperate with us in the process of seizing the gifts given to her by Sukesh,” said the source.

This attachment processing will take place under section 5 of the PMLA.

The source confirmed to IANS that they were about to seize the gifts and other things given to Jacqueline and Nora but they had to file a charge sheet and due to this work got delayed.

“We also arrested Pinky Irani. It kept us busy. Filing a charge sheet, recording statements of new arrests was a time consuming exercise. We had to arrest seven more persons in the case who are currently lodged in the Tihar Jail. Then we will have to record their testimonies too, so it can take some time,” said the source.

TREMAYNE: The greatest F1 title battles of all time – and where 2021 now stands among them

In the Portuguese GP Stirling had stood up for Mike when the Ferrari driver spun on the final lap as he was about to be lapped. Mike went up an escape road and over a footpath while getting back onto the track, and the stewards wanted to disqualify him from his eventual second place which, with fastest lap, was worth seven points. Stirling’s defence enabled Mike to keep them.

Stirling duly won the final race, but when Ferrari’s Phil Hill moved over to let Mike take second place, it secured his team mate the title by a single point. Only the six best results counted, and Hawthorn’s single victory and five second places, allied to four fastest laps, trumped Stirling with 42 points to 41. Vanwall, however, took the first World Championship for constructors.

“To me, it just felt quite wrong that Mike should be disqualified,” Stirling would say with simple grace. “And I put forward the idea that he was still on the track, albeit the escape road, which they accepted. And it turned out that it lost me the title. But it’s a case of what winning means to you.”

To have won a title that would always elude him, if it had meant keeping quiet when he witnessed injustice, would have been complete anathema to a great racer.

First Trailer for Extra Dumb ‘Jurassic Hunt’ About Dinosaur Hunters

First Trailer for Extra Dumb ‘Jurassic Hunt’ About Dinosaur Hunters

by
July 6, 2021
Source: YouTube

“This doesn’t end until we’re all dead!” Good! Lionsgate has released a trailer for a so-bad-you-have-to-see-this movie called Jurassic Hunt, which is surprisingly not a movie from The Asylum though it definitely looks like it. The world’s most dangerous soldiers, mercenaries and big-game hunters arrive at a mysterious hunting reserve to hunt the deadliest game of all. When dinosaurs kill the tour guides in a wilderness park, the surviving trophy hunters must work together to evade the giant human-hungry ancient creatures and all the mercenaries hired to finish them off. This stars Courtney Loggins, Ruben Pla, Joston Theney, Motown Maurice, and Tarkan Dospil. The only way this can be good is if the dinosaurs eat every last one of them. Surprise, surprise, there’s barely three shots of awful CGI dinos in the trailer. Don’t watch this.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Hank Braxtan’s Jurassic Hunt, direct from Lionsgate’s YouTube:

In this pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller, female adventurer Parker joins a crew of male trophy hunters in a remote wilderness park to slaughter genetically recreated dinosaurs for sport using rifles, arrows, and grenades. After their guide is killed by raptors, the team tries to escape the park – but the hunters quickly become the hunted. Even worse, the park’s manager suspects Parker of being a spy and sends a hit squad after her. This battle’s about to become primitive! Jurassic Hunt is directed by the American producer / director Hank Braxtan, of the films Blood Effects, Chemical Peel, Unnatural, Snake Outta Compton, and Dragon Soldiers previously. There’s no info available on a writer. Lionsgate will debut Braxtan’s Jurassic Hunt direct-to-VOD starting on August 24th, 2021 later this summer. Anyone actually want to see this?

83 Movie Review: Ranveer Singh and team hit it out of the park

In a country where cricket is religion, a mainstream Bollywood movie documenting the World Cup win of 1983 is more than just an ambitious dream. Kabir Khan’s 83 is nothing short of perhaps the biggest risk – not just for the director but also for his lead actor, Ranveer Singh, who steps into the shoes of the living legend, Kapil Dev. Has Kabir succeeded in bringing his vision to life? Is Ranveer able to portray Kapil Dev without making him look like a caricature? Let’s find out.

83 needs no introduction with respect to its plotline. It is a film that chronicles the victory of the Indian cricket team in the World Cup of 1983. While the results of the grand final are written down in history books, what makes the film engaging and worth talking about are the hidden gems and personal anecdotes from the lives of the team players. 83 boasts of a huge ensemble cast depicting the entire team that played the final against West Indies on June 25, 1983, – a date that’s gone down in cricketing history. While Ranveer leads the team as the captain, he gets massive support from the rest of the cast members who have delivered stellar performances. They all have important parts to play, that add up beautifully to the final moment. Be it Kapil’s banter with their coach, PR Man Singh, played by Pankaj Tripathi or his tense moments with Sunil Gavaskar (Tahir Raj Bhasin), every scene adds insight and gives a glimpse into what went through their minds as they battled every fear and dodged every ball on the field.

Kabir colours every player with emotion and makes him stand out in a packed team. Who knew that Krishnamachari Srikkanth (Jiiva) had a sense of humour in moments you least expect someone to raise a cheer. Or of Balwinder Sandhu’s (Ammy Virk) personal loss before the big match. These moments are what make 83 extremely engaging and watchable. You know the climax and the last scene, yet you can’t help but applaud every boundary and six the Indian team hits. A scene between Kapil Dev and Mohinder Amarnath (Saqib Saleem) has no dialogue but an exchange of looks – a glance – and the two actors convey emotions and feelings that words might surpass. That is also the power of the film’s sharp and tight screenplay.

A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh)

It isn’t just all fun and games, though. The film has several moments that are very personal, and perhaps never documented. A tense exchange of words between Kapil and Gavaskar could have felt over the top, but Kabir’s restraint and craft as a director save it from becoming a gimmick. Pankaj Tripathi has some of the best lines and the actor goes all-out to ensure they command seetis from the audience.

The captain of the team – Ranveer Singh – delivers a performance that shows a side of him we haven’t seen in a while. Playing a living legend who’s so respected and revered is a treacherous slope. But Ranveer walks it with confidence. Especially the scenes where he speaks in broken English could have felt out-of-sync and fallen flat, yet Ranveer delivers and doesn’t get out of character even for a bit. His ability to show restraint when required and go all-out at the right moments makes 83 one of his career-best performances. Deepika Padukone, who plays his wife Romi, delivers a nuanced performance. She is his pillar of strength and to watch Ranveer and Deepika on the big screen after such a long gap reminds us of their cracking chemistry.

83 does have a few hiccups. Firstly, it is the 2-hour-40-minute runtime and secondly, Kabir’s obsession with long reaction shots of the audience in almost every match the team plays. It would have been a treat to see more cameos instead of the film just focussing on Kapil Dev.

As a cinematic experience, 83 will make you very emotional. It is a film that goes beyond making your heart swell with pride as real-life images and scenes from the actual match flash in front of you. Don’t forget to wear your mask to the theatres but a word of advice – throw in a bunch of tissues. The tears of joy and pride flow incessantly in what can be easily termed as one of the finest films of the year. You don’t want to miss this one!
