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.

FOUR-TIME champions England booked their ticket to the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup after pulling off a nail-biting four-run win over hosts India in Indore on Sunday (19).
England had posted a competitive 288-8 thanks to Heather Knight’s century and held their nerve in the field to defend it, despite their bowling, usually their strong suit, being a touch off colour.
India looked to be cruising towards victory, needing just 62 runs off the last 10 overs with seven wickets in hand. But the dismissal of Smriti Mandhana turned the tide, as scoreboard pressure crept in and dot balls piled up. Soon after, Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma departed in quick succession, leaving the tail high and dry.
Reckless batting cost India dear. Mandhana’s downfall opened the floodgates when she danced down the track to left-arm spinner Linsey Smith but failed to clear long-off. Then, after reaching her half-century, Deepti Sharma perished trying to take on Sophie Ecclestone, a slog sweep that found deep mid-wicket to perfection. From there, the writing was on the wall.
“We probably needed 300, but we did well to pull things back and I’m very happy. Didn’t contribute much in the last couple of games, so it felt good to come up with a match-winning hundred,” said Knight, whose classy 109 off 91 balls, laced with 15 fours and a six, was the backbone of England’s innings.
England’s openers gave them a brisk start with 73 runs for the first wicket before Knight joined captain Nat Sciver-Brunt in a 113-run stand that kept the scoreboard ticking.
At one stage, England looked set to go past 300, but Knight’s run out attempting a second run triggered a slowdown, as India tightened the screws and conceded only 74 runs in the final 10 overs. Deepti Sharma was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with four wickets.
It was India’s third successive defeat leaving their next clash against New Zealand a virtual knockout. With both teams locked on four points, it’s a case of do or die to stay in the hunt for the last semi-final berth, with Australia, England and South Africa already safely through.
England, meanwhile, have been clinical, through to the semis with two games in hand. They sit second on the table with nine points, level with defending champions Australia, separated only by a whisker in Net Run Rate.
“Not sure how we lost this game. We had it in the bag. We’ve worked so hard and when the last five overs slip away from you, it’s heartbreaking. This is the third straight game we’ve lost after coming so close,” lamented India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
