Swara Bhasker, who recently registered her marriage with Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Ahmad, slammed filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri for name-calling and accusing Muslim citizens on public platforms.

It all started with a tiff between The Kashmir Files director and journalist Mohammed Zubair on Twitter. Zubair recently fact-checked the filmmaker’s claim about winning the Dadasaheb Phalke award. Agnihotri won an award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Awards and shared the news on social media. Journalist Zubair claimed that The Kashmir Files had not won the real Dadasaheb Phalke award but another one which sounds like it.

Following this, the filmmaker slammed Zubair in a tweet and said fact-checking is the biggest extortion mafia today which is controlled by a crazy, lunatic terror organisation.

Zubair then shared screenshots of the award and confusion to which Agnihotri replied that he doesn’t hate fact-checkers but when puncture repairers pretend to be fact-checkers. He further calls the journalist a ‘jehadi pimp’ of India’s enemies.

The journalist further continued bashing the filmmaker and said words like jihadi and puncture wala against Muslims were earlier used by faceless Right Wing trolls.

Now, Swara Bhasker slammed Vivek Agnihotri for name-calling Muslims publically. In a tweet, she wrote Vivek Agnihotri name-calling, swearing at, and accusing Muslim citizens on public platforms simply because they are Muslim is a glaring example of how vile, poisoned, bigoted, and majoritarian the public discourse has become in New India.

The trailer of Rani Mukherjee starrer Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway was released on Thursday and took the internet by an emotional storm.

Directed by Ashima Chibber, Mukherjee is playing the role of a Bengali mother who, all alone, fights the Norwegian government to get her children back. The trailer itself got the actor compliments for her acting prowess and heart-wrenching portrayal of a desperate mother.

Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway is inspired by true events

The film is inspired by the story of an Indian couple, Sagaraika and Anurup Bhattacharya who moved to Norway in 2007. Everything was fine until one day in May 2011, when the Norwegian authorities took away custody of their children: three-year-old son Avigyan and one-year-old daughter Aishwarya.

The authorities claimed Sagarika was mentally unfit to take care of the children and highlighted the basic Indian culture as ‘issues’.

The government said that feeding by hand was said to be force-feeding, sleeping of the parents and kids in the same bed was unnatural and claimed the kids were made to wear ‘unsuitable’ clothes and put ‘kala teekas’.

The case was a result of the ignorance of the Norwegian authorities of the deep-rooted Indian way of bringing up children.

After a court hearing, the Norway government decided to put the children in legal custody until they turn 18 as their mother lacked structure and discipline and was unable to provide a daily routine for herself or her children.

The parents had to engage in a long tedious legal battle for two years before they could finally reunite with their own children.

The couple had to involve the Indian government in this case which led to a diplomatic row between both governments. The legal battle also affected their marriage and the couple got separated before the case could be resolved.

The Norwegian authorities finally decided to give custody of the children to Anurup’s brother in Calcutta. Sagarika could not stop there, later she went and filed a petition with Calcutta’s Burdwan Child Welfare Committee to have the children’s full custody saying that her in-laws were not taking good care of the children and had not been letting her meet them.

She got full custody of her children in 2013 when CWS claimed she was psychologically fit to take care of and raise the kids.

The frightful story of the Bhattacharyas will be depicted on the silver screen by Ashima Chibber. The film also features Jim Sarbh and Neena Gupta in key roles and is set to release on March 17.

Raj Mehta directorial Selfiee starring Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi, Diana Penty, and Nushrratt Bharuuccha hit the silver screen on Friday. Selfiee is the official Hindi remake of the blockbuster 2019 Malayalam film Driving License which featured Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles.

The film created a hullabaloo on social media prior to its release after Kumar made a Guinness World Record for taking the most selfies (184) in under three minutes, during a promotional event.

Selfiee revolves around a superstar Vijay Kumar, played by Akshay Kumar, who needs a new driving license from the RTO office. The officer Om Prakash Agarwal, played by Emraan Hashmi, is a die heart fan of the celebrity. While Vijay needs a driving license for a car scene in a film, Om wants a harmless selfie with the star. This not-so-complicated story gets complicated followed by a misunderstanding which leads to a feud between them.

Vijay slams the officer and leaves him embarrassed after which his excitement to meet the star turns into anger. The film constantly chases the game of Khiladi and Anari and who is in the wrong and who will win unfolds in the second half of the movie.

Selfiee Twitter review

The film is out and so are the reviews. Cinema buffs who watched the film have shared their reviews on Twitter. Going by their reactions, Selfiee failed to match Prithviraj’s Driver License, however, fans have applauded Akshay Kumar’s performance. On the other hand, Emraan Hashmi did not impress the audience with his cop avatar.

Twitter users said Emraan Hashmi was not given much space to grow and chunks of the film were boring without any development in the plot.

One user called the film a disaster and warned people not to waste their money as Driver Licence is 100 times better than Selfiee. Another user called the film dull and flat and the characters are total misfits.
