Recently, the makers of Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Mangal launched the trailer of the film. The movie is based on ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission also known as Mangalyaan and there were speculations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a cameo in the film.

At the trailer launch event, when Akshay Kumar was asked by PM Modi’s cameo, the actor replied, "Aap suni-sunayi baat pe vishwas na karein. Jab aana hoga, main aapko khud hi bata dunga. (Please don't believe hearsay. When he makes an appearance, I will tell you myself.)"

Directed by Jagan Shakti, Mission Mangal also stars Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and Nithya Menen in the lead roles. The film is slated to release on 15th August 2019 and Akshay revealed at the event that the day film releases Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) completes 50 years.

He said, "Yeh picture August 15, 2019 ko release ho rahi hai. Ek bohot hi ittefaq ki baat hai ki ISRO jo hai woh August 15, 1969 ko shuru hua tha. Hum jab release kar rahe hai, 50 saal ISRO ke poore honge. Aur yeh ek ittefaq hai. Humne kuch socha nahi tha. (This film is releasing on August 15, 2019. Coincidentally, ISRO was founded on August 15, 1969. The day we are releasing, ISRO completes 50 years. And this is a coincidence. We had not planned anything).”

Mission Mangal will mainly focus on the women scientists who worked for the mission. The trailer has received a great response and has generated curiosity among the moviegoers to watch the film.

The movie will be clashing at the box office with John Abraham starrer Batla House. Last year on 15th August also it was Akshay Kumar vs John  Abraham at the box office. Akshay’s Gold had clashed with John’s Satyameva Jayate. Both the films did quite well at the box office.

England to roll out world-first gonorrhoea vaccine

England is set to become the first country in the world to introduce a national gonorrhoea vaccination programme, in a move hailed by health officials as a “landmark moment for sexual health”. The rollout will begin on 1 August 2025 and will use an existing meningitis B vaccine, known as 4CMenB, to help combat soaring cases of gonorrhoea and growing concerns over antibiotic resistance.

The sexually transmitted infection (STI) reached record levels in England in 2023, with more than 85,000 cases reported — the highest number since records began in 1918. Health experts have warned that strains of the bacteria responsible for gonorrhoea, neisseria gonorrhoeae, are becoming increasingly resistant to current treatments.

Janhvi Kapoor channels mother Sridevi’s timeless grace at Cannes 2025 in Tarun Tahiliani couture

Janhvi Kapoor’s first walk down the Cannes red carpet wasn’t just about fashion. It was a quiet, graceful nod to her late mother, Sridevi. Dressed in a soft rose outfit designed by Tarun Tahiliani, Janhvi chose not to speak about the tribute, but the resemblance in mood, elegance, and styling made the message loud enough for those who knew her mother’s legacy.

On 20 May, Janhvi stepped onto the red carpet for the premiere of Homebound, accompanied by her co-stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, director Neeraj Ghaywan, and producers including Karan Johar. The outfit, made from real tissue fabric woven in Benaras, had a delicate sheen and came with a veil that covered her low bun in a look that immediately reminded many of Sridevi’s timeless appearances in traditional wear.

Understanding the Hindu Psyche: Averse to Confrontation?

Is Hindu psyche averse to confrontation?

Over 5,000 years ago, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, two armies comprising tens of thousands of men were ready to begin a war. The Pandavs were led by Arjuna, a warrior whose archery skills were unbeatable. At the last minute, before the war was to commence, Arjuna put down his weapons and declared to Krishna his decision not to fight. He reasoned that the war would kill tens of thousands of people all for a kingdom. It took the whole of the Bhagavad Gita to convince Arjuna to fight.

Even after Krishna destroyed all his doubts, Arjuna asked to see Krishna in his form as a supreme God. In short, Arjuna wanted to avoid confrontation at any cost.
