Nitin Kumar Yadav's Decisive Leadership: A Change for Better Governance

Date: 27 January 2024

In a recent administrative move, UT Adviser-cum-Home Secretary Nitin Kumar Yadav has displayed decisive leadership by bringing in positive changes to ensure effective governance. The reshuffling of roles within the UT Administration, particularly the replacement of Rupesh Kumar, Additional Excise and Taxation Commissioner, signifies a commitment to maintaining balance and efficiency in Chandigarh's administration.

On January 19, Rupesh Kumar took a bold step by suspending the licenses of 10 liquor vends, citing violations of the Excise Policy 2023-24. While his actions were commendable, on January 24, Nitin Kumar Yadav decided to replace him with Pradhuman Singh. This strategic decision emphasizes Nitin Kumar Yadav's commitment to fostering a dynamic and effective administrative setup.

When questioned about the shift, Rupesh Kumar downplayed it, referring to it as a routine transfer. However, the timing and context suggest a more profound administrative strategy at play. Nitin Kumar Yadav's decision to bring in Pradhuman Singh reflects a thoughtful approach towards balancing enforcement actions and administrative stability.

Recent inspections by the Excise Department revealed discrepancies at the liquor vends, including the presence of various liquor brands without valid permits and holograms. Rupesh Kumar's crackdown led to the suspension of licenses, subsequent penalties, and the eventual unsealing of the vends on January 23 after owners complied with regulations.

Rupesh Kumar, a 2019 batch AGMUT cadre officer, is known for his stringent actions and commitment to addressing public concerns. Despite facing visual impairment, he had previously taken steps to improve the hygienic conditions in the vegetable market in Sector 26. Last year, he sought an explanation from Sanyam Garg, Administrator of the Market Committee, regarding the unhygienic conditions in the vegetable market, expressing concern over poor sanitation and inadequate anti-encroachment measures in the mandi area. In essence, Nitin Kumar Yadav's leadership stands out as a beacon of effective governance in Chandigarh. The strategic decision to replace Rupesh Kumar underscores the need for a balanced and dynamic administrative approach. While Rupesh's actions against liquor vends were commendable, Nitin Kumar Yadav's vision for Chandigarh's governance is instrumental in steering the administration towards greater efficiency and responsiveness to public concerns.

On the whole, THANK YOU FOR COMING is a progressive film

Thank You For Coming Review {2.5/5} & Review Rating

THANK YOU FOR COMING is the story of a girl trying to find love. Kanika Kapoor (Bhumi Pednekar) lives in Delhi with her mother Beena (Natasha Rastogi) and nani Kishori (Dolly Ahluwalia). Since she was a child, she has been shamed for being raised by a single mother and for her liberal views. She gets involved with several guys and it never translates into a healthy, long-term relationship. She is about to turn 32 and is shattered that she hasn't found her prince charming yet. Moreover, she has never experienced an orgasm in her life. On her birthday, Arjun Malhotra (Karan Kundra) shows interest in her and gets invited to her party. However, he lands up at the bash with a date, Rushi Kalra (Shehnaaz Gill). Rushi and Kanika become friends and the former advises the latter that she should marry someone who loves her. She finds that person in Jeevan (Pradhuman Singh), a simpleton selling toilet showers and who loves her immensely. Kanika agrees to marry him though her mother and her best friends - Pallavi (Dolly Singh) and Tina (Shibani Bedi) - advise her against doing so. At the engagement party, she calls her ex-boyfriends like Booni Bhatia, Shekhar Sinha, Rahul Kasturia (Sushant Divgikar), and Professor (Anil Kapoor). She drinks like crazy at the engagement party. The next day, she wakes up with no memory of the previous night. But she does remember that she experienced orgasm for the first time ever. However, she doesn't remember who she slept with - was it Jeevan or Booni or Shekhar or Rahul or Professor? What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Radhika Anand's story is promising and could have translated into a path-breaking film. Radhika Anand's screenplay, however, is a mixed bag. While some scenes are very impactful and entertaining, a few of them could have been penned in a better manner. Radhika Anand and Prashasti Singh's dialogues are too funny but only in select places. A character in the beginning remarks that she attains orgasm simply by looking at her hot body. This dialogue will bring the house down and ideally, the film should have been replete with such one-liners from start to finish. Karan Boolani's direction is decent. To give credit where it's due, he touches upon some important topics like childhood traumas, women being shamed for living life on their terms, women being shamed by other women, the majority of women not experiencing orgasm ever etc. Instead of getting preachy, he uses humour and some touching scenes to convey the message. Moreover, the plot is outrageous and one does get intrigued especially when Kanika begins her mission to find out who she slept with on her engagement. On the flipside, the film moves too quickly and doesn’t let the characters grow organically. Kanika’s decision to marry Jeevan seems sudden. Moreover, it’s bewildering that the makers never show what Kanika and her friends do for a living. Professional achievements are also important for women. But the women in the film are not focusing on it at all. The humour is limited and moreover, the finale at the school is quite silly. Thank You For Coming | Official Trailer | Bhumi Pednekar | Shehnaaz Gill Speaking of performances, Bhumi Pednekar plays the character with aplomb. For an actor who played these semi-urban and rural characters, it can be challenging to crack a part that is so drastically different. Bhumi, however, comes out with flying colours. Dolly Singh and Shibani Bedi lend able support. Pradhuman Singh is unrecognizable and does well. Natasha Rastogi is lovely and Dolly Ahluwalia is dependable, as expected. Shehnaaz Gill is entertaining but is hardly there. Kusha Kapila (Neha) is wasted. Gautmik (Karan; Pallavi's husband) and Saloni Daini (Rania Das; Tina's daughter) leave a mark. Sushant Divgikar is quite good and has a fine screen presence. Karan Kundrra is okay. Anil Kapoor is excellent in a cameo. Songs are well-woven into the narrative. 'Desi Wine' works the best followed by 'Pari Hoon Main', 'Haanji' and 'Baaraat'. None of the songs, however, are of the chartbuster variety. Aman Pant's background score is functional. Anil Mehta's cinematography is neat. Manisha Melwani and Devanshi Tuli's styling is one of the highlights of the film. Disha Dey's production design is realistic. Shweta Venkat Mathew and Manan Sagar's editing is too sharp. On the whole, THANK YOU FOR COMING is a progressive film that raises some important topics, has its share of entertaining scenes, and delivers a shock value. But it suffers on account of the script, limited humour, and silly climax. At the box office, the lack of awareness will prove detrimental to its business, and it will be appreciated only by a tiny section of the multiplex audience. #COMING #progressive #film Read the full article

The Zoya Factor Review

September 26, 2019

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

Adapting a book into a screenplay is an excruciating task. Especially, when a 450+ page novel has to be condensed into a two and a half hour film. The Zoya Factor maintains the essence of the original, written by popular novelist, Anuja Chauhan, with a reworked manifestation of the narrative. It achieves this by translating the most emphatic and comical scenes onto the screen. Without losing the main plot, it eliminates inconsequential subplots and characters. The film does complete justice to its source material. 

The story of a woman who becomes a lucky charm for the Indian cricket team, is a flimsy plot, not just in the film, but in the novel as well. Not much can be done to build upon this idea, which is why the author and screenwriter resort to building characters. The film survives on its intriguing characters and their clever interactions with each other. Some of the most ingenious dialogues have been written for this film. The way dialogue writer, Pradhuman Singh, has translated the hilarious English dialogues from the novel into hysterical Hindi versions for the film, is remarkable. But, without a proper understanding of the Hindi language, the wordplays and double meanings don’t have as strong of an impact. Subtitles dilute the meaning. The target audience for this film is a niche category. Though the film will still be entertaining, someone who isn’t fully invested in understanding the dialogues will miss out on a laughter riot. 

Breaking the fourth wall is rarely done with such finesse in Hindi cinema. We become Zoya Solanki. Her professional struggles, her non-existent social life, and her bicker-fests with her brother, become our professional struggles, our non-existent social lives, and our sibling rivalries. We don’t just get an insight into her thoughts, we live life through her eyes. But whenever she laments on her miserable “loser” life, that fantasy is shattered. It’s hard to digest Sonam Kapoor as a loser. Whenever she asks why the Indian cricket captain would care to date a loser like her, I am tempted to say, “Because you are amazing.” This is the one point on which the Zoya from the book and the Zoya from the film do not match. The character in the novel is described as a complete mess, and her insecurities regarding her relationship are justified. But in the film, it is the exact opposite. We are enamored by their chemistry from the very beginning.

The best thing about this film is that it is self-aware. At no point does the film attempt to make us feel as if it is anything more than fleeting time-pass entertainment. It doesn’t skim the surface nor does it delve any deeper. It remains in a very comfortable space. This is what elevates The Zoya Factor a notch higher in comparison to other films in the same camp, such as Aisha or I Hate Luv Storys. Both the latter films are meant for comic amusement, and they deliver on that part. Yet, they try to be more than what they are projected to be, leading to lags in the screenplay. 

The Zoya Factor is no special film. It doesn’t have an impactful concept like Article 15, nor does it have the backing of a powerful true story, like Mission Mangal or Uri. But, it does explore the benefits and consequences of placing faith in luck. In Indian society, superstition trumps hard work. No matter how much effort the Indian cricket team put into their game, Zoya would take away all the credit. The film attempts to uncover the fallacy of superstition and belief. But it doesn’t let this message bog down the screenplay. For the comedy, for the romance, and for the sizzling chemistry between the leads, this film is worth a watch.

Blackmail

Blackmail    [trailer]

When Dev finds out his wife is cheating on him, he secretly blackmails his wife and her lover as a form of revenge.

Irrfan Khan's presence is holding the movie together for a while. But once the really dumb colleague gets the female colleague into the blackmailing roundabout, patience is starting to wear thin.

The basic farce is fine, but 140 minutes is just too long. And considering that they are mainly "dumb" criminals, the bloodshed gets pretty high.
