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:

New Delhi, Jul 31: After an FIR was registered against her in various sections including abetment of suicide in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, actor Rhea Chakraborty on Friday said that she has faith in the judiciary and she will get justice.

In a video statement issued by her lawyers, the actor refrained from commenting on "horrible things" being said against her saying that the matter is sub judice. 

“I have immense faith in God and the judiciary. I believe that I will get justice. Even though horrible things are being said about me in the electronic media. I refrain from commenting on the advice of my lawyers as the matter is sub judice. Satyamev Jayate. The truth shall prevail," Chakraborty said in the video statement. 

An FIR was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against Chakraborty in Bihar under several sections including abetment of suicide.

Days after Rajput's death, Chakraborty said she was the "girlfriend" of the 'Dil Bechara' actor while requesting a CBI inquiry in the case.

Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Chakraborty has also approached the Supreme Court for transfer of investigation to Mumbai in the FIR registered against her in Patna. 

Earlier in the day, targeting Chakraborty over Rajput's death, Bihar Minister and JD-U leader Maheshwar Hazari said she played the role of "vishkanya" and alleged that there is a "big gang" behind the "killing" of the actor.

"There is a big gang behind the killing of Sushant Singh Rajput. Earlier also talented people who went to Mumbai for work were killed. This gang used Rhea Chakraborty. She trapped Sushant Singh Rajput in a love affair, got his money transferred. Later, she started drama of 'bhoot pret' (ghosts) and played the role of a 'vishkanya'. She sabotaged his talent and defamed love," Hazari said.

According to the Maharashtra police, statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra have been recorded in the investigation so far.

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had said that Mumbai Police are investigating the case and it will not be transferred to the CBI.
