Roohi trailer: Janhvi Kapoor spooks us; Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma make us laugh

Roohi trailer: Janhvi Kapoor spooks us; Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma make us laugh

By Murtuza Iqbal

Yesterday, the makers of Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, and Varun Sharma starrer Roohi announced that their film will hit the big screens on 11th March 2021, and today, they have released the trailer of the movie.


Rajkummar Rao took to Twitter to share the trailer with everyone. He posted, “Watch the #RoohiTrailer at your own risk kyunki iss baar mard ko jyada dard hoga! Out now: https://bit.ly/RoohiTrailer #Roohi in cinemas 11th March, 2021. #JanhviKapoor @varunsharma90 #DineshVijan #MrighdeepSinghLamba #HardikMehta @SachinJigarLive #AmitabhBhattacharya @MaddockFilms.”

The trailer of the film is decent, and it is the actors’ performances that take it a notch higher. Rajkummar and Varun’s comic timing is amazing in the trailer, and though Janhvi doesn’t get any comedy scenes to do, she successfully spooks us with her expressions and makeup.

Producer Dinesh Vijan is trying to make a horror-comedy universe, and after Stree, now he is coming up with Roohi. Well, if we compare the trailer of Stree and Roohi, then the latter falls a bit flat. But let’s hope the movie turns out to be better than its trailer.

Roohi is directed by Hardik Mehta, and it is the first Bollywood film with A-list stars that will be hitting the big screens after the lockdown. It will surely be interesting to see what response the movie will get at the box office.

Pranab Kapadia's Moviegoers Entertainment Limited will be releasing the film in international markets like the US and Gulf, and later in the UK when the cinemas reopen.

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.
