Marjaavaan gets postponed, Bala to release a week prior

Nowadays filmmakers change the release date of their films quite often. Milap Zaveri’s Marjaavaan starring Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh, Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet Singh was slated to release on 22nd November 2019, but it was shifted to 8th November 2019.

Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Bala was slated to release on 15th November 2019, but now it has been rescheduled for a release on 7th November, and Marjaavaan has been postponed to 15th November 2019. Ayushmann took to Twitter to share a new poster of the film and announce the release date.


He tweeted, “(No) Baal ki kahani Bala ki zubani!? #Bala trailer out in 1 hour! #DineshVijan @amarkaushik @bhumipednekar @yamigautam @saurabhshukla_s @jaavedjaaferi #SeemaPahwa @nowitsabhi @SachinJigarLive @sonymusicindia @JioCinema @jiostudios.”

Well, Bhushan Kumar, the producer of Marjaavaan tweeted, “I’ve had a long standing relationship with @MaddockFilms and #DineshVijan is also a dear friend. I’ve decided to shift #Marjaavaan to 15th November 2019, to make way for #Bala. My best wishes to the team! @TSeries.”

Thanking Bhushan, Maddock Films tweeted a statement of Dinesh Vijan (producer of Bala), “Before anything Bhushan is a friend, and he understands how impactful the release date of a film can be. He’s been kind enough to move marjaavan and let Bala come, and for that I’m grateful.  - Dinesh Vijan.”

Well, the makers of Bala decided to prepone their film because a movie with a similar concept titled Ujda Chaman is slated to release on 8th November 2019. Even the posters of both films are quite similar. Ujda Chaman stars Sunny Singh in the lead role.

We can clearly say that it will be the battle of balds at the box office.

Travel body blames government for harming UK tourism growth

The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) has accused the UK government of “sabotaging” the country’s tourism sector after international visitor spending fell by over £2 billion in 2024 compared with pre‑pandemic levels. In a new WTTC study, visitors to the UK spent £40.3 billion last year—a 5.3 per cent decline on the £42.6 billion recorded in 2019.

The WTTC, which represents the global travel and tourism private sector, said ministers had made “deliberate policy choices” that erected “barriers to travel” and discouraged high‑value tourists. Policies cited include the removal of tax‑free shopping, rising air passenger duty (APD) rates and the introduction—and subsequent fee increase—of the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) scheme for non‑UK nationals.

Breaking the silence: Why Asian women must talk about menopause

Kiran Singh

For many women in the Asian community, the journey through perimenopause and menopause is still shrouded in silence, confusion, and, at times, shame. It’s often seen as something we just have to “put up with” quietly, as though struggling through it alone is a badge of honour. But the truth is, menopause is a universal transition - one every woman will experience in her lifetime - and it is time we start talking about it, especially within our cultural communities where silence often masks suffering.

We all go through it - so why don’t we talk about it?

Menopause doesn’t arrive overnight. For most women, it begins subtly during perimenopause, which can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s and last for several years. According to the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), over 30 recognised symptoms of perimenopause range from hot flushes and night sweats to anxiety, low mood, brain fog, and joint pain.

The indispensable role of Sadhus(saints) in Hinduism

Nitin Mehta

Dharmic religions or religions that have their roots in India, namely Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism, have a very interactive relationship with spiritual leaders and Gurus. Going back tens of thousands of years, saints have influenced and guided Hindu society. The most powerful king would respect his Guru or a saint and act upon his instructions. These sages typically lived in forests in pursuit of a spiritual life. They were also experts on issues that related to running a peaceful and just society. They were conversant in warfare and the art of diplomacy.

When a holy man or a saint made an entry into an assembly of politicians, the whole gathering including the king would stand up to receive him. The king would touch the feet of the sage as a mark of great respect. This tradition of touching the feet of a Guru or an elder is still prevalent in India today. Children will typically touch the feet of elders as a form of greeting. There is something magical about bowing down to your seniors or your mentors. There is humility, respect and a soul to soul meeting.
