Mission Mangal new promo Yeh Sindoor: It is a perfect tribute to the women of India

Mission Mangal starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen and Sharman Joshi is surely one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie is based on ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also known as Mangalyaan, and focuses on the women who worked for the successful mission.

The trailer has clearly made the audience curious to watch the film and now, the makers have launched a new promo of the film that is dedicated to the women of India. Akshay took to Twitter to unveil the promo. He tweeted, “Jitna uncha ho asmaan, yeh sindoor utni door tak jaayega! Here’s celebrating the women of India who make dreams come true! @taapsee @SonakshiSinha @vidya_balan @TheSharmanJoshi @menennithya @IamKirtiKulhari @Jaganshakti @foxstarhindi #HopeProductions @tanishkbagchi @azeem2112.”


The promo showcases all the actresses of the film and there are some wonderful lines that are mouthed by Akshay Kumar in the background. For example, ‘Mangalsutra gale mein hai aur Mangal pe hai nazar gadi. Bharat ki beti ki udaan kal sara jag dhorayega, yeh sindoor dur tak jayega…’

Mission Mangal is surely an inspiring story that we are keen to experience on the big screen. Directed by Jagan Shakti, the movie is slated to release on 15th August 2019. The tagline of the film is, ‘This Independence Day, The Sky Is Not The Limit’.

John Abraham starrer Batla House is also slated to hit the screens on 15th August 2019. Both Mission Mangal and Batla House are inspired by true events. It will surely be interesting to see which film will win the box office race. Last year, on Independence Day also it was John vs Akshay at the box office. Satyameva Jayate and Gold had released on the same day and both the films had done quite well at the box office.

From Hogwarts to headlines, the real cost of childhood fame for Harry Potter’s new stars

As HBO prepares to bring Harry Potter back to screens with a new television adaptation, excitement is high around the casting of Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout as the iconic trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. But amid the buzz, a quiet voice of caution has emerged. Chris Watson, father of original Hermione actress Emma Watson, is urging parents and the industry to tread carefully when it comes to child stardom.

Chris Watson is not speaking as a critic or industry insider but as someone who watched his daughter grow up inside a global franchise. Emma was nine when she landed the role of Hermione Granger, and what followed was a decade of public attention that reshaped her life. Her father remembers the shift vividly. “Her homework would go back to school on motorbikes,” he once said, pointing to the surreal logistics fame forced on them.
