October 6, 2016

New Delhi, Oct 6: It's been six days since the biopic based on MS Dhoni's life 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' released and in this short span the movie has racked up a box office collection of Rs 88.63 cr. The movie, which depicts Dhoni's journey to India's World Cup winning captain and sporting icon of the country since Sachin Tendulkar, is most definitely a must watch for cricket lovers.

Apart from the stellar acting by lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput as Dhoni, and true to the title, the untold story of Dhoni's humble beginnings, the one other aspect of the movie that is being well appreciated is the role and significance of Yuvraj Singh, played by Herry Tangri. Tangri has been lauded for his acting in which he portrays a young Yuvraj. His striking resemblance and near perfect mannerisms of the Punjab player is one of the best parts of the movie.

Among the many stories that unravel in the movie, one is about Dhoni's first meeting with his future India teammate in Under-19 Cooch-Behar trophy final between Bihar and Punjab from 1999 played at the Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur.

The movie showcases Dhoni's batting on Day 1 of the match. He remains unbeaten on 70 at the end of day's play. But in the next scene Dhoni is in his friend's home apparently in shock of what happened in the subsequent days of the match.

Describing the match, Dhoni, played by Rajput tells his friends that on day two he got out on 84 and then the team was all out for 357. Punjab lost their first wicket on 60, then Yuvraj Singh came out to bat. At stumps on Day 2 their score was 108/1 and in the entire day three's play only one Punjab wicket fell. At the end of Day 3, Punjab's score was 431/2, Yuvraj scored a double century. Last day, Punjab's total was 839 and Yuvraj alone scored 358, one run more than Bihar's team total.

So did Yuvraj really score 358 to help Punjab 839 runs. The numbers are so staggering that it is hard to believe, right? But it did happen and here is the proof:

Mumbai, Jul 6: Mumbai Police on Monday recorded the statement of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

The director arrived at Bandra Police Station on Monday morning to give his statement.

As per reports, late actor Sushant was approached by Bhansali for his 2013 film "Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela". However, Sushant could not take up the offer reportedly due to his contract with a production house. Later Ranveer Singh was signed for the role. The female lead was played by Deepika Padukone and the film turned out to be a commercial success.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has, over the past weeks, recorded statements of Sushant's family, staff, a few of his friends, and Rhea Chakraborty, besides filmmaker Mukesh Chhabra and actress Sanjana Sanghi who worked with the late actor in his upcoming last film "Dil Bechara".

Within a few days of the actor's death, a complaint was filed by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. The case filed regarding the actor's death was against eight Bollywood personalities including Bhansali, Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra and Ekta Kapoor.

Los Angeles, May 2: Pop diva Madonna has revealed that she has tested positive for the COVID-19 anitbodies.

The singer shared the news in the 14th edition of her “Quarantine Diary” on Instagram TV.

“Took a test the other day and I found out that I have the antibodies. So tomorrow I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car, and I’m gonna roll down the window and I’m gonna breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yup. I hope the sun is shining,” Madonna said.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US, antibody tests are used to determine whether or not a person has been exposed to COVID-19 by finding proteins the body produces to fight the virus.

However, the CDC has yet to confirm if the possession of antibodies is equal to immunity.
