A Bold Fusion of Mythology and Science Fiction "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin, embarks on an ambitious journey to merge the ancient epic of the Mahabharata with a futuristic, dystopian narrative. This 181-minute film, with its staggering budget of over Rs. 600 crores, is a daring attempt to push the boundaries of Indian cinema by integrating mythology with contemporary themes and spectacular visual effects. Stunning Visuals and World-Building The film's significant investment in world-building is evident in its depiction of a dystopian future where Kasi is the last surviving city amidst ruins. The mighty Ganges has dried up, and the essentials of life are confined within the Complex, an enormous inverted pyramid controlled by the tyrannical Supreme Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan. The rebels from Shambala, a hidden refuge for people of diverse faiths and cultures, fight against this tyranny, striving for a better future. Engaging Yet Flawed Narrative The screenplay of "Kalki 2898 AD" oscillates between various settings—Kurukshetra, Kasi, Shambala, and the Complex. Prabhas stars as Bhairava, a laidback bounty hunter whose sole aim is to gain entry into the Complex in pursuit of a million units, the film's currency. Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Ashwatthama, the immortal warrior from the Kurukshetra war, adds depth to the narrative, especially during his confrontations with Bhairava. Despite some overly extended action sequences in the initial minutes, their interactions are a highlight. Noteworthy Performances and Character Dynamics Kamal Haasan shines in a menacing role, while Deepika Padukone as SUM-80 (Sumati), a lab subject yearning for motherhood, adds emotional depth in the later half of the film. Bhairava’s partnership with his AI vehicle, Bujji (Bu-jz-1, voiced by Keerthy Suresh), is a unique element that enriches the storyline, although the origin of Bujji is briefly mentioned. Missteps in Romance and Cameos However, the romantic subplot between Bhairava and Roxie (Disha Patani) feels forced and detracts from the main narrative. The scenes where Bhairava infiltrates the Complex seem contrived, suggesting that the film could have explored more organic ways to advance the plot. Cameos by popular directors and characters from earlier Vyjayanthi Films ventures, while intended as nods to the studio's legacy, sometimes feel misplaced and disrupt the flow of the story. Visual Feast and Technical Mastery Visually, "Kalki 2898 AD" is a feast for the eyes. The film's epic battles, featuring futuristic technology and weaponry, are stunning on the big screen. The sequences set in the Mahabharata era are particularly impressive, showcasing a splendid blend of mythological and sci-fi elements. Santhosh Narayanan’s soundtrack enhances the film's unique atmosphere, although some musical transitions feel abrupt. A Brave Experiment in Indian Cinema "Kalki 2898 AD" is a bold cinematic experiment that deserves applause for its creativity and ambition. Despite its flaws, the film successfully pushes the envelope of Indian cinema by blending mythology with science fiction in a visually spectacular manner. The narrative, rich with subtext and symbolic parallels, occasionally falters with predictable arcs and lackluster dialogue, but it remains a commendable effort to explore new storytelling horizons. A Mixed Bag of Successes and Shortcomings In conclusion, "Kalki 2898 AD" is a mixed bag. Its attempts to pay homage to Telugu classics and contemporary mainstream cinema are hit-or-miss. While some elements work well, others seem out of place. The first half of the film sets the stage for Bhairava's journey, establishing him as a bounty hunter with ambiguous morals. His eventual showdown with Ashwatthama provides a satisfying payoff, highlighting the film's potential when it hits the right notes. Final Thoughts Despite its occasional narrative hiccups, "Kalki 2898 AD" stands out for its audacious vision and spectacular visuals. It’s a film that seeks to immerse its audience in a grand tale of good versus evil, featuring unlikely partnerships and epic battles. While not without its flaws, it is a commendable effort that expands the horizons of Indian cinema and offers a visually stunning experience. Movies

A significant incident unfolded at Delhi Airport’s Terminal 1 when a portion of the roof collapsed, causing injuries and substantial damage to vehicles. Amid heavy rains, six individuals sustained injuries, and all departures from the terminal were temporarily suspended. Heavy Rain Leads to Roof Collapse at Delhi Airport Terminal 1 Early this morning, Delhi Airport’s Terminal 1 experienced a partial roof collapse due to intense rainfall. The incident occurred around 5:30 am, damaging several vehicles, including cabs, in the pick-up and drop-off area. The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) were promptly notified, and emergency personnel rushed to the scene to assist the injured and manage the situation. Injuries and Damage Reported Of the six individuals injured, one man was rescued from a vehicle after an iron beam fell onto it. The injured have been taken to the hospital for treatment. The roof sheet and support beams gave way, impacting cars parked at the busy Indira Gandhi International Airport, one of the world's most frequented airports. Official Response and Temporary Suspension of Operations In an official statement, Delhi Airport confirmed the canopy collapse at Terminal 1’s old Departure forecourt, attributing it to the heavy rain since early morning. The statement assured that emergency personnel are providing necessary medical aid and assistance to those affected. As a precaution, all departures from Terminal 1 have been suspended, and check-in counters closed. The airport authorities expressed regret for the disruption and apologized for the inconvenience caused. Union Minister's Assurance Union Minister of Civil Aviation, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, stated that he is closely monitoring the situation. He confirmed that the injured have been hospitalized and first responders are active on-site. The Minister also advised airlines to assist affected passengers at Terminal 1. Delhi Faces Heavy Rain and Waterlogging The heavy rainfall in Delhi, which continued for the second consecutive day, brought respite from the heat but caused significant waterlogging in various parts of the city. Visuals shared by news agencies showed inundated roads and long traffic jams. Weather Forecast: More Rain Expected The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a ‘yellow alert’ for Delhi, predicting moderate to heavy rainfall over the next seven days. The weather forecast indicates generally cloudy skies with gusty winds. On June 29, temperatures are expected to reach a high of 36°C and a low of 28°C, with light to moderate rain or thunderstorms. June 30 will see a further drop in temperature to 34°C, accompanied by moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds. For July 1 and 2, thunderstorms with moderate rain are expected, maintaining temperatures around 34°C and 27°C. Wind speeds are likely to vary between 25-35 km/h. Monsoon Arrival Imminent The IMD has indicated that the southwest monsoon is likely to advance further into Delhi and neighboring regions over the next 2-3 days. This progression will bring more parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu under the monsoon’s influence. Air Quality Improvement Post-Rain The pre-monsoon showers have significantly improved Delhi’s air quality. The city recorded its first “satisfactory” air quality reading in 282 days, according to the Central Pollution Control Board. This improvement follows the clearing of sooty pollutants from the air due to the consistent rainfall. Conclusion The heavy rains in Delhi have brought both relief and challenges. While the temperature has dropped and air quality improved, the roof collapse at Delhi Airport Terminal 1 highlights the need for robust infrastructure to withstand extreme weather conditions. The ongoing efforts by emergency services and authorities aim to restore normalcy and ensure the safety of all affected individuals. NEWS

Telangana is set to roll out three significant new criminal laws starting from July 1. The state has taken comprehensive steps to ensure the smooth implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. According to a senior official, notification drafts are ready and will be released in the coming days. Translation and Notification Process The translation of these new laws is nearing completion and is expected to be finished before the implementation date. The notification drafts, essential for the laws' smooth enforcement, will be issued shortly. This move ensures that Telangana is fully prepared to meet the Central government's implementation deadline of July 1. Team Formation and Implementation Strategy Teams have been established at various administrative levels to guarantee that the new laws are implemented according to the Central government's plan. These teams will oversee the operational aspects of the laws, ensuring adherence to the specified guidelines. The state's readiness underscores its commitment to a seamless transition to the new legal framework. Preparation and Training for Law Enforcement Extensive training sessions have been organized for police officers, with a dedicated workshop held at the Telangana State Police Academy. This workshop aimed to educate IPS officers across the state about the nuances and spirit of the new criminal laws. The training ensures that law enforcement officials are well-prepared and fully understand the changes. Comprehensive Training Programs In addition to police training, special teams have been created to develop study materials and conduct training programs for other officers within the criminal justice system. These initiatives include the creation of applications to facilitate easy comparisons between the old and new laws, making the transition smoother for all involved. Study and Reference Materials Study and reference materials have been distributed to all field officers. These resources include Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines prepared by a team of prosecutors. The materials aim to help officers navigate the new procedures introduced by the laws, ensuring consistency and clarity in their application. Coordination and Stakeholder Meetings A recent coordination meeting, chaired by the Telangana Chief Secretary, included representatives from health departments, prosecutors, and other stakeholders. This meeting emphasized the importance of cross-departmental collaboration to effectively implement the new laws. The inclusive approach highlights the state's dedication to a comprehensive and unified implementation strategy. Background of the New Laws The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, along with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam Bills, was first introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 11 last year. These bills aim to replace the Indian Penal Code of 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure Act of 1898, and the Indian Evidence Act of 1872. Parliament approved the bills on December 21, with President Droupadi Murmu giving her assent on December 25. Telangana State
