Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho released on 30th August 2019. The multi-lingual film has released in various languages including Hindi. The movie marks Prabhas’ debut in Hindi film industry and with his first Hindi film itself the actor has set the box office on fire.

Saaho, which was undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of the year, has taken a flying start at the box office in India. The Hindi version of the film has collected Rs 24.40 crore on Friday. It is a fantastic number for a non-holiday release. Saaho gets the third-highest opening of the year. At number one we have Salman Khan starrer Bharat with Rs 42.30 crore and Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan starrer Mission Mangal is at second position with Rs 29.16 crore. However, we cannot ignore that both Bharat and Mission Mangal released on a holiday and Saaho has got an opening of Rs 24.40 crore without releasing on a national holiday.

The opening numbers of Saaho prove that after Baahubali franchise Prabhas has huge fan following all over India. But, the Sujeeth directorial has received mixed to negative reviews, so it will be interesting to see how it will perform at the box office on Saturday and Sunday. Will the reviews affect the box office collection or Prabhas’ stardom will continue to make the film rule at the box office? Well, let’s wait and watch.

Also, with Saaho, Shraddha gets the biggest opening of her career. While the actress doesn’t have a strong character to play in the film, we cannot ignore that she is quite famous with the masses in India and she is one of the factors to pull audiences to theatres, especially for the Hindi version.

Saaho also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Chunky Panday, Mandira Bedi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jackie Shroff, Arun Vijay, and Evelyn Sharma.

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.
