Amitabh Bachchan starrer Jhund gets a release date

Amitabh Bachchan starrer Jhund was supposed to hit the screens in 2019. But the film was postponed to 2020 and now, finally, the makers have announced the release date of the movie. It will be hitting the screens on 8th May 2020.

The makers have released a teaser of the movie and Amitabh Bachchan took to Instagram to share the teaser. He posted, “JHUND .. !! झुंड .. आ गया, आ गया !!Jhund nahi, team kahiye! In cinemas from 8th May 2020. @amitabhbachchan @nagraj_manjule @bhushankumar #KrishanKumar @vinod.bhanushali @hire.raaj @savitaraj121 #GargeeKulkarni #MeenuAroraa @ajayatulofficial @tandavfilmsentertainment #AatpaatProduction @tseriesfilms @tseries.official.”


Well, the teaser is interesting, but what impresses us the most is the music of Ajay-Atul. The movie is based on Vijay Barse, the founder of NGO Slum Soccer and Big B plays the role of Vijay Barse. We don’t get to see Big B in the teaser, but there’s a dialogue mouthed by him and his voice is enough for us to get goosebumps. The legendary actor always tries to do something new and different with his every movie, and we are super excited to watch him on the big screen in Jhund.

Jhund marks the Bollywood directorial debut of Nagraj Manjule who has earlier directed some fantastic Marathi films like Fandry and Sairat. Reportedly, Sairat actors Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar will be seen in a cameo in the movie.

Well, with Jhund also releasing on 8th May, now there will four Bollywood films releasing on the same day. Apart from Jhund, Vidya Balan’s Shakuntala Devi, Parineeti Chopra’s The Girl On The Train and Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara are also slated to release on 8th May 2020.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The IMF has raised its forecast for British growth for 2025 by 0.1 percentage points to 1.6 per cent, making it the third-strongest among the Group of Seven advanced economies after the US and Canada.

‘Events in 2024 have shown that social cohesion cannot be an afterthought’

THE past year was marked by significant global events, and the death and devastation in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan – with diplomatic efforts failing to achieve peace – have tested our values.

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions.
