The man behind EU's day out
| | | While the all of India was left aghast by the photos of a group of European Union MPs, all of them far-right, taking a happy shikara ride in Srinagar's Dal Lake — something that perhaps even residents can't do because of the lockdown — sources have told Huffpost India that this 'unofficial trip' was choreographed by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. And this could be one of many such trips. Meanwhile Kashmiri political activist Shehla Rashid called the visit a “scam”, adding that the Narendra Modi government’s move was a “PR exercise being carried out in a shady manner”. The MPs held a press conference after their trip, called themselves friends of Kashmir even as Kashmiri journalists were kept out the press conference. Also read Gopal Sathe's report on how millions of tech workers in India and China are rating searches and evaluating the results. |

| | | | In reality, Indian officials said the visit was a carefully choreographed junket to push back against a perceived “liberal bias” of much of the international community’s reception of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to scrap Article 370 of the Constitution (which granted Kashmir special status), blanket the region with thousands of troopers, and arrest large numbers of civilians including several prominent politicians. A Reuters report dated September 12 has put the number of arrests at at least 3800. |

Worth watching?
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At a time where female narratives are largely relegated to gritty and raw explorations of the urban woman, chiefly focusing on their sexual liberation, here is a film that brings together two dazzling actors to present an endlessly inspiring tale of deliverance from societal dogma.
The film’s biggest problem is its linear structure and unmotivated plot progression, which seems hurried and filled with undercooked scenes. But directing woes aside, Saand Ki Aankh is a unique story that is unsurprising yet intriguing.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite an interesting premise and a reliably persuasive performance by the leading man, Made in China fails on both counts: neither is it funny enough to discount its narrative shortcomings, nor is it compelling enough as a social drama to make up for the lack of humour.
The film comes across as a significantly less talented cousin of Vicky Donor, which got the cocktail of humour and drama right. Made in China has sporadic moments that make you vaguely smile but, just like Raghu’s many ideas, the smile never translates into laughs that’d actually give you a bang for your buck. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New to this email?
