Batla House: An interesting trailer with John Abraham at his best

15th August 2019, mark the date as not one or two, but this year, we will be having three films hitting the screens on that day. There’s Saaho, Mission Mangal and Batla House. The teaser of all the three films had impressed us a lot and now, the trailer of Batla House has been released.

Starring John Abraham and Mrunal Thakur, Batla House is based on a real incident of Operation Batla House that took place in the year 2008. The trailer of the film is quite interesting and impresses us. The dialogues are powerful and the best element in the trailer is John Abraham. The actor’s performance is the highlight here and it looks like John is all set to give his career’s best performance in this film.


John took to Twitter to share the trailer with his fans. He tweeted, “Was the nation prejudiced or was it really a fake encounter? The questions will finally be answered. #BatlaHouseTrailer out now. https://bit.ly/BatlaHouse_OfficialTrailer @mrunal0801 @ravikishann @nikkhiladvani @writish @TSeries @EmmayEntertain @johnabrahament @bakemycakefilms.”

Mrunal Thakur has been given decent screen time in the trailer and looks like she will give a confident performance in the movie. There’s also Nora Fatehi and apart from showing us her killer dance moves, she also has a few scenes in the film where we will get to see her acting chops.

John has been having a good record at the box office with his past films. His decision of clashing with biggies like Mission Mangal and Saaho is surely being questioned. But well, after watching the trailer, we can say Batla House will turn out to be a good competition for Mission Mangal and Saaho. Also, nowadays we can see that the moviegoers want good content and even films of big stars are not doing well at the box office.

Government considers £100 weekly payments to move asylum seekers out of hotels

Highlights

  • Asylum seekers could receive £100 per week on top of existing £49.18 support to leave hotels.
  • Currently over 32,000 migrants housed in 200 hotels costing £145 per night or £5.5 m daily.
  • Separate scheme offers up to £3,000 to asylum seekers willing to return to home countries.
The government is considering paying asylum seekers £100 a week to leave taxpayer-funded hotels and live with family or friends in the UK. Home Office officials have proposed the scheme as part of prime minister Keir Starmer's drive to accelerate the closure of asylum hotels. The weekly payment would come on top of the existing £49.18 support for living costs that migrants in hotels currently receive. The plan, set to be trialled in 2026, could reduce accommodation costs to a seventh of current spending. More than 32,000 migrants are currently housed in 200 hotels at an average cost of £145 per night or £1,015 a week. This compares with £23.25 a night for other dispersal accommodation in communities. The total bill for asylum hotels stands at £5.5 m a day, or £2.1 bn a year. Labour has pledged to stop their use by the end of this term in 2029, though suggestions indicate Starmer has privately set a one-year target.


The government has earmarked two former military barracks in Inverness, Scotland, and Crowborough, East Sussex, to house 900 migrants from the end of November as part of the hotel closure plan.
