In a landmark moment for Indian motorsport, Kush Maini became the first Indian driver to win a Formula 2 race, clinching victory at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix Sprint Race on May 24, 2025. This achievement not only marks a personal milestone for the 24-year-old racer but also signals a new dawn for India’s presence on the global motorsport stage.

Mastering Monaco: A Flawless Lights-to-Flag Victory:

Driving for DAMS Lucas Oil, Kush Maini delivered an impeccable performance on the unforgiving streets of Monaco, widely regarded as one of the most challenging circuits worldwide. Starting from reverse-grid pole position—earned by qualifying 10th for the Feature Race—Maini controlled the race from start to finish. Despite intense pressure from Alpine Academy teammate Gabriele Minì, he maintained composure and precision, crossing the finish line two seconds ahead of the pack.

The Monaco circuit’s tight corners and narrow layout demand extraordinary skill and nerves of steel. Maini’s ability to navigate this iconic track flawlessly underscores his maturity and racecraft, especially amid a challenging 2025 season start.

A Journey Rooted in Passion and Perseverance:

Born in Bangalore in 2000, Kush Maini hails from a family deeply embedded in motorsport culture. His older brother Arjun Maini is also a professional racer, while his uncle Chetan Maini is a pioneer in India’s electric vehicle industry. Kush’s racing journey began in karting, progressing through Italian F4, British F4, Formula Renault Eurocup, and BRDC British Formula 3, where he finished runner-up in 2020.

Joining DAMS Lucas Oil in 2025, Maini faced a slow start to the season but turned the tide with his historic Monaco Sprint Race win, a testament to his resilience and dedication.

A Historic Win for Indian Motorsport:

Kush Maini’s Monaco victory is a breakthrough for Indian motorsport, inspiring a new generation of racers and enthusiasts. India has seen Formula 1 drivers like Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok, but consistent success at the feeder series level has been elusive. Maini’s triumph at Monaco sends a powerful message that Indian drivers can compete and win at the highest levels of international racing.

The win garnered praise from prominent Indian business leaders and motorsport patrons. Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, celebrated Maini’s achievement on social media, stating, “You are Standing Tall, @kmainiofficial and the country stands tall with you. Kush Maini making history as the 1st Indian winner of an F2 race in Monte Carlo”.

Eyes on Formula 1: The Next Frontier

Kush Maini is currently a reserve driver for the BWT Alpine Formula 1 team and participates actively in their driver development program. His role includes simulator work and team collaboration, positioning him as a strong candidate for a future Formula 1 seat. Maini’s Monaco victory has bolstered his credentials and confidence, bringing him closer to realizing the dream of becoming India’s next Formula 1 driver.

Kush Maini’s historic Formula 2 victory at Monaco is a defining moment for Indian motorsport. It embodies the spirit of perseverance, skill, and ambition, inspiring countless young drivers across India. As he continues to build momentum in the 2025 season and beyond, Maini stands poised to elevate Indian racing to unprecedented heights on the world stage. Find more Global Indian stories

Bollywood has a long-standing tradition of adapting novels into films, bringing stories from the pages to the silver screen. While books offer depth, introspection, and a more personal experience, there have been instances where Bollywood movies outshined their literary counterparts. One such remarkable example is *3 Idiots*. This blog delves into such movies, exploring how Bollywood occasionally enhances or reimagines a story in ways that captivate audiences more effectively than the original books.

                                                 When Bollywood Outshines the Book

 1. 3 Idiots (2009) - Adapted from Five Point Someone 

The Book: Chetan Bhagat's *Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT* delves into the lives of three friends struggling to cope with the pressures of the Indian education system. The book, while insightful, focuses on the day-to-day challenges faced by the characters. 

 Rajkumar Hirani’s *3 Idiots* takes the core narrative of the book but elevates it with humor, drama, and a powerful message about following one's passion. The film expands the characters, particularly turning Rancho (Aamir Khan) into a philosophical and inspiring figure. The movie's emotional depth and its critique of the rote-learning education system struck a chord with millions, making it a cultural phenomenon. 

 Reasons To Watch

·       A more engaging and inspiring narrative. 

·       Universally relatable themes and emotional connect. 

·       Iconic dialogues and memorable performances.

                                                           When Bollywood Outshines the Book

 2. Devdas (2002) - Adapted from Devdas 

  Saratchandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel *Devdas* tells a tragic tale of love and loss. The story, while iconic, has a restrained narrative style. 

The Movie 

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s *Devdas* is a larger-than-life cinematic spectacle. Featuring opulent sets, stunning costumes, and powerful performances by Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the film redefined the story for modern audiences. 

Reasons To Watch   

·       A visually grand interpretation of a classic tale.

·       Bhansali’s artistic direction and emotional gravitas.

·       Music and choreography that amplified the story’s emotional core. 

When Bollywood Outshines the Book

 3. Guide (1965) - Adapted from The Guide   

R.K. Narayan’s *The Guide* is a nuanced tale about a tour guide’s journey from a conman to a spiritual leader. The novel is introspective and subtle in its storytelling. 

 The Movie

Vijay Anand’s cinematic adaptation starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman gave the story a more dramatic and romantic twist. The film added a layer of complexity by exploring themes of love, redemption, and spirituality, along with unforgettable songs like *"Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai."* 

Reasons To Watch

      A compelling transformation of the protagonist. 

       Memorable music and emotionally charged sequences. 

       The dual-language (Hindi and English) release broadened its appeal. 

                                           When Bollywood Outshines the Book

 4. Omkara (2006)  Adapted from Othello 

William Shakespeare’s *Othello* is a timeless tragedy of love, jealousy, and betrayal. While it’s a masterpiece of English literature, its Elizabethan setting may feel distant to contemporary audiences. 

The Movie 

Vishal Bhardwaj’s *Omkara* reimagines the story in a rural Indian setting, infusing it with raw intensity. The stellar performances by Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Kareena Kapoor brought Shakespeare's characters to life in a way that resonated deeply with Indian viewers. 

Reasons To Watch 

      Localization of Shakespeare’s themes for Indian audiences. 

       Powerful dialogues and a rustic aesthetic. 

       Saif Ali Khan’s portrayal of Langda Tyagi redefined the role of an antagonist.  Read More

He directed "Neecha Nagar," which won an award at Cannes in 1946, the first Indian movie to be internationally recognized. It was also the first movie for Kamini Kaushal and the debut of Pandit Ravi Shankar.

In the 1950s, he and his brother Dev Anand created Navketan Productions in Bombay. Their first movie, "Afsar," had moderate success. He directed more films like "Taxi Driver" and "Aandhiyan."

He continued acting while directing, appearing in "Humsafar" in 1957 and directing and acting in "Arpan" and "Anjali" the same year. He acted and directed several more films like "Kala Bazar" and "Hindustan Ki Kasam."

He formed Himalaya Films and worked with a team to create memorable Hindi movies like "Haqeeqat" and "Heer Raanjha."

Anand "discovered" Rajesh Khanna through an acting competition and cast him in "Aakhri Khat," which was known for its music and locations. He directed Khanna again in "Kudrat."

He's also known for directing the television serial "Param Vir Chakra," which aired in 1988.
