Not Khans but Baahubali came to rescue of Bollywood this year

It looks like Baahubali came to rescue of Bollywood this year Baahubali: The Conclusion was probably the best thing that happened to the film industry this year. Amid many disappointments in the first half of this year, it was SS Rajamouli’s second take on Baahubali that proved to be the saving grace for both distributors and exhibitors.

Concurring with this fact, Rahul Puri, MD of Mukta Arts said, “We got 20 percent of our entire yearly revenue in just about 6 weeks of Baahubali’s run.”

The company reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2017 during which Mukta Arts’ exhibition business almost doubled its revenue. This was on the back of a strong content pipeline which lifted the exhibition segment and increased margins.

“Exhibition business is strongly related to the quality of content in theatres. Quarter one had Baahubali 2 that did phenomenally well and that helped to boost the entire space,” said Puri.

At a time when exhibitors and distributors are having a tough time as big-budget films are finding it difficult to bring back audience to theatres, Baahubali: The Conclusion proved to be a game-changer. According to a few producers, exhibitors and analysts, Baahubali 2 will inspire filmmakers and investors to mount more ambitious and bigger budget films.

A Box Office India report suggests the first half of 2017 has been a poor one with seven films succeeding and only one film, Baahubali: The Conclusion, standing above all. The film is the biggest blockbuster this century as it sold over 5.25 crore tickets in the Hindi language.

If only Hindi films are taken into account then Badrinath Ki Dhulhania fared well at the box office, it was the only super hit film, the report said. The other hit film was Akshay Kumar-starrer Jolly LLB 2, while Irrfan Khan’s Hindi Medium scored only in the metros. Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees performed well overseas but was weak at the Indian box office. Films like Tubelight and Kaabil made money for the makers but distributors suffered huge losses.

In the nine months this year around 24 big-budget films have flopped, as per a media report. After the disappointing performance of Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tubelight, film trade analysts are saying filmmakers are under the impression that superstars can sell bad content but looking at the current scenario it seems it doesn’t work that way. It is important for the content to speak for itself.

Apple vs TRAI: Apple Refuses Adding TRAIs DND App on iOS Store

Apple Refuses Adding TRAIs DND App, Apple and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) are fighting over the user data that iPhone users in India have on their phone. TRAI argues that no smartphone company should be a guardian of the user data of its smartphones and should share it with apps that require that data to function. Apple has indicated that it believed the TRAI app is a potential risk to its user’s privacy.

Bloomberg reports that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is unable to get its ‘Do Not Disturb’ tool into the App Store; it’s designed to crowdsource data about spam calls and messages, so as to help avoid unsolicited communication with telemarketers and the like. An Android version of the app is available on Google Play.

TRAI has an anti-spamming app which blocks the numbers reported by the users and then launches a strict action against the number. The app is readily available to Android users, albeit poor customer reviews. TRAI Chairman R S Sharma publically slammed Apple a few weeks ago and has now said, “Nobody’s asking Apple to violate its privacy policy. It is a ridiculous situation, no company can be allowed to be the guardian of a user’s data.”

Why Apple Denied TRAI’s DND App ?

Apple says that the app violates its privacy policy; the company hasn’t budged from its position on the matter even after half a dozen meetings with the agency. While the company says it’s concerned about keeping its users’ data private, it shares data with affiliates and partners.

Spam messages and calls are a usual trend in India and most of the users use TrueCaller app to manage spam. TRAI maintains a Do Not Disturb directory and uses its app to catch hold of more spam numbers. Apple has reportedly told TRAI that its app violates privacy policies that the company has for the app store. Sharma has said that this fight is not the government vs Apple but, Apple vs its users as the problem of who controls user data gets more prevalent than before. Recently, TRAI came out with a comprehensive paper on “data ownership” that it wants to be debated. In the paper, TRAI argues that the users should own their own data and should have a say on how their data can or should be used.

The idea of data ownership sounds good but in a nutshell, it is a double edged sword. On one hand, introducing data ownership will become the users the sole owners of their data and take a lot of power away from services such as Google, Facebook and more as they won’t be able to use the data the way want to. On the other hand, it can open to flood gates to weak data privacy as third party apps would just require a click of the ‘Accept’ button to access the desired information as an average user may not understand the jargon written in privacy policy documents.

Basic health tips for maintaining a good health that make you happy

The context in which an individual lives is of great importance on health status and quality of life. Health is maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science, but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society. Here are some basic health tips for maintaining a good health.

Exercise
You don’t have to belong to a gym club. Thirty minutes  walk every day will to prevent weight gain and encourage moderate weight loss. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age, sex or physical ability.

Basic health tips for maintaining a good health

Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Eat healthy
Reduce fat intake, cut down on sugar and opt for fruits and vegetables. This helps reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Healthy food will also lead to better blood sugar control. A healthy eating plan also will lower your risk for heart disease and other health conditions. A healthy eating plan: Emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars.

Basic health tips for maintaining a good health

Reduce stress
Not everything we want we get. We have to accept that there are things that we cannot control. Managing time is also of great importance too. We must allow ourselves enough time to get things done. Set a time during the day for relaxation.

Improve sleep
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep. Equip your bedroom with a comfortable mattress and pillows. Sleep in a dark clean and quiet environment. One of the major reasons for improper sleep is stress. Stress Hormones reduce when you meditate regularly. As a result there is a calming effect on the mind and the sleep is deeper and more restful.

Meditation
Meditation has been linked to a variety of health benefits. It has been linked to changes in metabolism, blood pressure, brain activation, and other bodily processes. There is something that can definitely help you improve your healthy lifestyle quotient. It’s meditation, as a lot of people share. So let’s have a look at some of the aspects of a healthy lifestyle and how meditation can help you in these areas.

Positive thinking
People who think positively have an optimistic view of life that affects their health and well-being. Optimism has been shown to explain between 5–10% of the variation in the likelihood of developing some health conditions, notably including cardiovascular disease,stroke, depression, and cancer.

Living longer is something we can all be happier about. A positive outlook can influence more than just your mood. “People who are optimistic are more committed to their goals, are more successful in achieving their goals, are more satisfied with their lives, and have better mental and physical health when compared to more pessimistic people,” said Segerstrom.

The study, which looked at 607 patients in a hospital in Denmark, found that patients whose moods were overall more positive were 58 percent more likely to live at least another five years. These people exercised more, too. The scientists can’t say for sure if positivity led to exercise or if exercise improved mood, but we say that the important message is the same either way: Positive thinking and regular physical activity are really important for life (and beauty, too).

Nagpur gears up for fifth ODI for India vs Australia 2017

Nagpur: India vs Australia 2017 Series :The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha is all set to host its 5th On Day International in with Australia scheduled on 1 October 2017.

In March itself last year, the Jamtha Stadium, situated far from the city, hosted as many as nine T20 Internationals, most of them in the preliminary stage of the ICC World T20 Championship.

Among the nine matches was a lone game featuring India, against New Zealand, that ended in defeat for the home team before they recovered to reach the semi-finals.

According to ESPNCricinfo, India vs Australia 2017 Series,  Chennai will host the first match that will be followed by ODI matches in Kolkata (September 21), Indore (September 24), Bangalore (September 28) and Nagpur (October 1). The T20 series that follows will start at Ranchi (October 7), Guwahati (October 10) and Hyderabad (October 13). The BCCI will make an official announcement about two weeks before the tour opener and is awaiting clearance on its two new venues in Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram.


The BCCI has had to take into account other changes as well. One instance of it is that Bangalore was supposed to host the second ODI on September 21, and is now hosting the fourth ODI on September 28. ESPNCricinfo reports that the fixtures are likely to be made official in “a day or two” according to a top BCCI official. Prior to the series, Australia are also scheduled to play a warm-up fixture in Chennai on September 12.

Australia had toured India earlier in the year for a four-match Test series. They won the first match but went on to lost the second and fourth to lose the series 2-1. For Australia, the limited overs tour of India precedes the Ashes that is set to begin in November.

Bangladesh vs Australia, 2nd Test, Day 1 at Chittagong, Historic victory for bangladesh in 1st Test

Bangladesh vs Australia Second Test, Historic victory for bangladesh!

Bangladesh vs Australia, Bangladesh won the toss on Monday and elected to bat in the second Test as it pursued an historic series victory against Australia.

Historic victory for bangladesh! It’s all over for Australia! Bangladesh have pulled off the unthinkable. They’re overjoyed, and why not. Despite David Warner’s exceptional counter-punching efforts, the visitors have fallen short here. If anyone is looking to debate Test cricket’s health, he could throw yesterday and today as his opening argument. This is also Bangladesh’s 10th Test victory in their history, and furthers their growth in the longest format. Last year, they beat England at home and now they’ve overcome a strong Australian side. Lots of credit for the performance to Shakib Al Hasan, who finishes the match with 10 wickets. He’s been a true leader on the field, spurring the side on with his infectious energy. The young Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam too have been very effective in rattling Australia’s inability to play turn. Some patting on the back for Mushfiqur Rahim as well, who has used his bowlers smartly.
