'Mogambo khush hua' Uddhav Thackrey taunts Amit Shah after losing party name and symbol
After the Election Commission stripped Shiv Sena faction chief Uddhav Thackeray of the party name and its election symbol he attacked BJP and its chief strategist Amit Shah using the popular lines from the movie "Mr. India" -- 'Mogambo khush hua". He also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that it was Shiv Sainiks who did themarvelouss job of saving Mumbai from the serial blasts of 1993, "Those talking of Hindutva now, where were they? Address is not known. Now they brag about a 56-inch chest. Where was that 56-inch chest then? He was sweating," he said.
He further talked about people wearing masks and said that once people wore "Modi masks at rallies, now it is PM Modi, who is after the mask of Balasaheb Thackeray," he added. On Friday, the month-long battle over the legacy of Bal Thackrey, father of Uddhav Thackrey settled in the favour of Eknath Shinde by the Election Commission.
"Yesterday, someone (Amit Shah) came to Pune. He asked how things are going in Maharashtra. Then someone said it was a very good day, because the name and symbol of Shiv Sena were given to the slaves who came with us. So he (Mr. Shah) said very well, 'Mogambo khush hua'," he said while attending a Public meeting in Andheri, Mumbai.
Citing the supervillains of Bollywood, Uddhav said, "These are the Mogambos of today. Like the original Mogambo, they want people to fight among each other, so they can enjoy power."
"They turned me out of my own house and the verdict went in the favour of thieves," he said as he warned other parties about BJP claiming that they are allowed to get away with anything and others must be on alert.

Won’t be surprised if Tejashwi becomes Bihar CM: Sanjay Raut
PUNE: Asserting that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav is creating a substantial challenge against the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Bihar Assembly Elections, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said he will not be surprised if Tejashwi Yadav becomes the Chief Minister of Bihar. “Today, we see in the Bihar election that a youngster who has nobody’s support, whose family members are in jail and agencies like the CBI and the Income Tax are behind him is creating a challenge for others. If Tejaswi Yadav becomes Chief Minister tomorrow, I won’t be surprised because these are the public sentiments,” Raut said addressing mediapersons here. When asked about the Election Commission giving a pass to the BJP’s Covid-19 vaccine promise in Bihar polls, he said the ECI is a branch of the BJP now and nothing else can be expected from it. “One cannot expect anything else from them. I believe it was a clear violation,” he said. Raut, who was speaking with mediapersons in an interaction organised by the Pune Union of Working Journalists, spoke about several issues. He also attacked the Maharashtra governor over his recent remark about sending people for help to Sharad Pawar instead of the Maharashtra government. “Pawar Sahab is our leader, if the governor is also sending people to Pawar Sahab then it’s good and I welcome it. If governor or BJP needs guidance from Sharad Pawar then I would advise Pawar Sahab that he must guide them as well,” he said. On claims that Sharad Pawar is running the Maharashtra government and not chief minister Uddhav Thackrey, Raut said “Manohar Joshi was the chief minister from Shiv Sena in the past and that time also there were allegations that Balasaheb Thackeray runs the government and not Manohar Joshi.” “The NDA was part of that government. But when such a type of government is formed where more than one party is part of the government, an experienced leader is there to advise or guide. If Sharad Pawar guides the government then nobody should have a problem with it. Even PM Modi used to take his advice earlier,” he added. Asked about people meeting Maharashtra governor instead of the chief minister with their grievances, he said, “Meeting governor over questions itself is an insult to Maharashtra. There is a chief minister. One must meet relevant ministers to get the work done. Governor does not have administrative rights.” Slamming actor Kangna Ranaut over avoiding Mumbai Police summons, Raut said, “She is an accused in a case now and she must appear before the police. Police have sent her summons and I don’t know why she is avoiding it.” Raut also said if National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah or PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti wants to reimpose Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir with the help of China, then they should be immediately arrested and sent to jail in Andaman prisons. Mufti had earlier targetted the Centre over the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, which conferred special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and said she will only raise the tricolour when the “flag of Jammu and Kashmir” is brought back.

Thackeray
From controversial cartoonist to powerful Mumbai politician, this biopic maps the meteoric rise of far-right Shiv Sena party founder, Bal Thackeray.
Balasaheb Thackrey works as a cartoonist for a newspaper. But his editor isn’t happy with it as he creates cartoons of politician which affects the sales of his paper.He is asked to try something else but he quits his job and now his only aim is to fight for the rights of Marathi people. He sees that Marathi people don’t have any respect and are made to do all odd works. With a few people, he starts to help the needy and gains respect. To fight for the rights he also goes against the law and comes in the eye of politics. After entering politics he starts his own party named after Shivaji Maharaj as Shiv Sena. After giving Marathi Manoos his equal rights his only wish is that one day the Chief Minister of Maharashtra should be a Marathi Manoos.

🧐 Storyline 📜From a torch columnist to a powerful political pioneer who assumed a noteworthy job in forming the Marathi character, Balasaheb Thackeray's adventure is likewise the tale of birth and development of Shiv Sena. The film accounts the life and times of the appealling pioneer whose heritage keeps on living on through his words and deeds.
🔎 Review
Observed first-day first show yet to the extent the character and identity of Babasaheb Thackeray jiis concerned this biopic of him stands no place separated from acting of Nawazzuddin Siddiqui who is the main focal fascination of the film and to some degree Amrita Rao who is assuming the job of balasaheb Thackrey Ji's. The motion picture however covers practically all parts of balasaheb Thackrey ji's life yet the plot is weak to the point that film isn't legitimizing balasaheb thacThackreys identity. The vast majority of the piece of film e is in high contrast since it's a flashback motion picture that makes the motion picture progressively dull. Despite the fact that the makers have endeavored to put everything to improve film e in each angle yet it, is neglecting to accomplish a definitive objective. In mid of film the, speed turns out to be slow to the point that makes motion picture e very lazy to watch. Balasaheb Thackeray ji was an extraordinary individual however, in my view, his, biopic has been made like as a battle advertisement for Shiv Sena for 2019 decisions. That is everything I can say about the motion picture and lay is on watchers to watch or not.

Thackeray Trailer: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Puts His Best Foot Forward as he Features in The Balasaheb Thackeray Biopic
Thackeray Trailer: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Puts His Best Foot Forward as he Features in The Balasaheb Thackeray Biopic - Thackeray Trailer: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Looks Convincing as Shiv Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray The trailer of Bal Thackeray biopic is out and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, in the lead role, has killed it, to say the least. ‘Nailed it’ would be an understatement for the refined talents of the actor. Simply titled Thackeray, the movie is based on the life of the controversial yet influential politician Balasaheb Thackeray, the founder of the political party – Shiv Sena. While the trailer gives a peek into the life of Bal Thackeray and his rise in the Maharashtra political circuit, Nawazuddin Siddiqui adds several feathers together in his cap of success as he plays the politician. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqpl_sAcQF8 Though this is not the first time that Nawazuddin is essaying a role in a biopic yet it is quite intriguing to see one actor play three different real-life characters in a span of three years. The movie is already expected to be controversial given the personality of its protagonist, Bal Thackery but while the trailer is out today, we can safely comment on the cinematography, camera work and the background score, all of which look is amazingly polished and super clean. The Manto star had to evidently polish his Marathi accent for the role and his hard work for the biopic is evocative from the trailer. https://www.instagram.com/p/Br14l0lAPwt/?utm_source=ig_embed Previously, Nawazuddin has featured in two other biopics, playing Dashrath Manjhi in Manjhi – The Mountain Man and Saadat Hasan Manto in Manto, both of which won him a plethora of appreciation from the critics and public alike. Also starring Amrita Rao in the role of Balasaheb’s wife, Thackrey has been written by journalist and Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut and directed by Abhijit Panse. Slated to release on January 25, the film has been shot in Hindi and Marathi and will be dubbed in English.

“Cho”
The Wikipedia entry on Gay Talese [1], a reporter who is often mentioned when people talk about New Journalism and creative non-fiction, has a couple of phrases that remind me of Cho Ramaswamy. "Entirely happenstance" and "unintended consequence".
Although Cho's life and his multi-faceted career (as a corporate lawyer, consultant, theatre artist, dramatist, actor, director, political commentator, politician, and perhaps for what he's most successfully known, satirical writer) were not exactly happenstance or unintended consequence, that's the way he liked to describe them. In an older interview [2] — from times when interviews on TV were probably much more sensible, gainsome to the viewer and not bereft of value — Cho was asked about his career spanning not just a long stretch of time but field too. To this, Cho simply said it was all an accident.
Sure, some parts of his life were accidental happenstance. No one expected Cho to turn out into a political "seer" of sorts who dabbled in some arbitration between parties for a while. In fact, he has said on more than one occasion that his entry into journalism (through the satire magazine, Thuglak) happened "just like that".
Cho wasn't exactly a king-maker like Balasaheb Thackrey but he had the knack of foreseeing certain things in the political space. But he never carried this immodestly. To him, these foresights were as obvious as the summer sun and he refrained from claiming any special credit for foretelling the stories that were to unfold in a few months, years or even decades.
Not quite #1, but still...
Cho was not a crafty writer with a penchant for words. He clearly was not as popular a comedian as his contemporary, Nagesh. His days as a corporate lawyer are lost to history (or no one bothered to chronicle these yet). He was a dramatist at a time when other jaambavaans existed, mildly eclipsing his troupe. Thuglak, to this day, is not a mainstream magazine even within Tamil Nadu. His tenure as a politician was short-lived and not a very successful one at that. But there's probably no one in Tamil Nadu in the age-group of 35-85 that wouldn't know Cho or his tryst with various fields that he casually decided to touch.
We are all suckers for nostalgia. Not a day goes by without someone saying it was all great back in the good old days. So, it's not uncommon to feel that today's artists, journalists, and other celebrated, popular personalities are several notches down in the way they carry themselves and present themselves, in comparison to yesteryear celebrities (and by yesteryear, I mean those of the early 60s to early 80s; travel a little further and you end up with the likes of some unmentionable characters that have brought more disrepute than fame).
And yet, there's not one person that I can think of, even from that "yesteryear" era, who brushed aside any reference to hardwork, trials & tribulations, or the tremendous amount of time involved in their work of creation. Except, of course, Cho Ramaswamy.
Here was a man who started out as a corporate lawyer, wrote for plays and then acted and directed them, went on to act in movies and even write them, and then decided to start a magazine of satire (at a time when satire could invite deathly trouble) which lead him to arbitration and consultation with political heads (at the national level, mind you).
But when asked about all this, Cho would casually call them happy accidents. Sometimes, his conviction in that declaration is so strong that you're led to believe in it.
People are fond of talking about the hardships they go through in order to do the work they do. Mediocre creators with no inkling of how mediocre (or worse, crass) their creations are talk at length about the hardwork, the sacrifices and the trouble they went through to create. Almost everyone talks about these things. There's the stoking of ego clearly at play.
When celebrities try to be humble and if you're smart enough to catch it, you'll see the big, ugly brush-stroke of vanity in their attempt to sound humble. There's a lot of fake humility that goes around these days and the "fans" literally fan the smoke on places like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram that creates an illusion of a humble celebrity. The reality of course stands vastly different.
Cho never appeared humble. To some of his critics, he was in fact boastful of his own capabilities as a political commentator. "I'm not known for my modesty," he said once at a book launch. To some more — especially from the women's rights movement — Cho was a byproduct of the patriarchal Indian caste system (Brahminism, to be more specific), a male-chauvinist. But if there was one person who did not claim personal credit for all their output, it was him. He was so averse to claiming credit that he would actually discredit himself.
Controversial opinions, unapologetically held
A few years ago, Gopalkrishna Gandhi (the grandson of M.K.Gandhi and C.Rajagopalachari) wrote a beautiful piece on Swami Vivekananda [3]. For much of my generation (and perhaps to the previous one too), Vivekananda is the sterling example of forward thinking. In the piece, however, Gandhi pointed out certain facts about Vivekananda that invited a closer look at Vivekananda's thoughts. To the uninitiated, Swami Vivekananda held some condemnable thoughts on slavery and the role of women in the civic discourse. "[They] invite long editorial scissors" is how Gandhi describes some of Vivekananda's thoughts that, in the modern world, sound extremely backward and downright wrong.
Many of Cho's thoughts — which he was not afraid of voicing in a public forum — do invite long editorial scissors. While not being as strong an RSS sympathizer as his colleague at Thuglak, Gurumurthy, he was still a strong proponent of the Hindutva agenda. He was definitely a byproduct of Brahminism and, in fact, was probably the singular voice of the Brahmins during that specific time of Tamil Nadu's history when Periyar's and the Kazhagam's anti-Brahmin stand flourished justifiably.
Cho's views on women and their role in the society were dated and carried the same tone of patriarchy that the saffron brigade does. No wonder then that he attracted a lot of strong criticism from a lot of women-centric organizations. He was also, very popularly, anti-Left. That combination, however, did not refrain D. Raja, the leader of CPI(M), from attending one of the anniversaries of Thuglak. Nor did it affect the respect many of the leaders of the Left had for him.
Cho was unapologetic about his controversial views. He belonged to that upper class, Mylapore Brahmin school of thought which holds the varna system to be holy and morally right. He was basically a better, less-brash Subramania Swamy in many ways. But unlike the arrogant, patriarchal leaders of the saffron brigade, he also held views that are progressive. A brief example of this was in the way he declared his disbelief in the idea of total prohibition (in Tamil Nadu) not simply because he didn't think it was feasible (both culturally and economically) but beacuse he thought it was a pointless exercise. Someone with as strong a Hindutva (and Brahminical) agenda as Cho would hardly say something of the sort.
Probably the only rightwing, Hindutva secularist
For all his spiritualizing and massive pro-Hindu intellectual campaigns, he wasn't against any religion. Especially, not Islam. I don't think that he would sound anti-Islam even if his speeches were to be misinterpreted or taken out of context but given that I haven't heard very many of his speeches (at best, I'd have heard a sum total of 25-30 hours of his speeches on a variety of topics, delivered at various programs and meetings), I couldn't be the judge of his attitude towards Islam or other religious communities. But given that he was a Madras-product with a wide circle of friends from all walks of life and cultures, I'd probably bet a huge part of my income in saying that he wasn't anti-any-religion.
The lasting impact of his legacy is most certainly through his satire magazine. Thuglak enjoys a very strong affiliation by its readers who are probably in just the tens of thousands. It's a niche readership but like all niche readerships, it's very dedicated. Cho made his organization live precisely the way he preached — a strong, identifiable leadership was necessary irrespective of whatever democratic forum one wanted to build their organization into. Unlike every other public functions of other organizations, each Thuglak anniversary starts with a roll-call: Cho would introduce his entire staff (down to the chauffeurs) to the applause of his audience. And he would then follow it up with not speeches but with the audience asking questions. It was only after these democratic rituals that the speeches would commence. And even here, while he could have easily gotten away by inviting people who held similar beliefs and viewpoints, he invited people from camps that he was ideologically against. A communist, a Congressman, a Kazhagam functionary, a minority leader and so on.
Cho's idolators often talk about his unbiased writing which used to be true but by the end of it all, he did turn out to be biased in a lot of ways that even his readers questioned his bias. Cho was always ready with a witty response. In the aftermath of the 2G spectrum and the Nira Radia tapes, Cho was very much in support of AIADMK's chief (the late Jayalalithaa) as the singular alternative to the corrupt leadership of DMK. He was also completely in favor of Narendra Modi's PM candidature and held strong views against Advani's candidature. While he did call a spade a spade by being a strong critic of the government run by a party he supported (be it AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, or BJP/NDA in the Center), he did have his own set of biases that played along the narrative of the state or country. In more than one instance, he did accede to the charge that he was biased sometimes.
I've heard too many people say what people usually say when talking about dead people — that there can't be another Cho in the history of India. I wouldn't like to repeat it for the fact is there can't be another "whoever" for that matter. But if there is one thing that I'd like to carry to my grave, it's the dispassion of it all. In his time, Cho did some extraordinary things. But every time he was asked to speak about them, he did so in his characteristic witty demeanor, dismissing all praise and crediting happenstance and unintended consequence for all his achievements. That, I think, is the essence of it all. Dispassion.
