The Kerala Story 2: Director's Appeal and Box Office Success Amid Controversy The film The Kerala Story 2, starring Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhartiya, Aishwarya Oza, Sumit Galavat, and Arjan Singh Ojla, has generated significant attention since its release. The movie, which follows the story of three girls in Kerala who fall victim to a forced religious conversion scheme, has sparked debates over its portrayal of societal issues. Director Lijo Jose Pellissery, known for his socially conscious narratives, has urged audiences to watch the film to raise awareness about the dangers of such practices. Box Office Performance The sequel has performed well at the box office, earning approximately ₹22.34 crore in India and ₹23.75 crore globally within seven days of its release. This follows the success of the original The Kerala Story (2023), which grossed ₹241.74 crore domestically and ₹302 crore worldwide. The film’s exploration of themes like exploitation, love, and deception has resonated with viewers, contributing to its commercial appeal. Controversy and Legal Challenges The film faced legal hurdles before its release. A petition was filed with the Kerala High Court to remove "Kerala" from the movie’s title, citing concerns over its portrayal of the state’s religious dynamics. The court initially imposed a ban but later allowed the release after a division bench reviewed the case. Critics and religious groups have also raised objections, with some demanding the film’s withdrawal due to its sensitive subject matter. Plot Summary The story centers on three young women studying in Kerala who are ensnared by a cult that uses deceit, emotional manipulation, and marriage proposals to force them into religious conversions.#kerala_story_2 #ulka_gupta #aditi_bhartiya #aishwarya_oza #sumit_galavat

The wedding was held in a specially designed 270-degree mandap, which was adorned with soft, sophisticated decor featuring pastel shades of white, pink, green, and gold, along with baby breath flowers. The venue exuded a tranquil ambiance, blending traditional elements with modern aesthetics. The ceremony followed a thematic approach, with the wedding theme derived from the couple’s names.

adidas HyperBOOST EDGE—The Shoe Preferred by Four-in-Five Runners Adidas is continuing its legacy of innovation with the release of the HyperBOOST EDGE, a new silhouette that marks the brand’s most significant midsole evolution since the introduction of BOOST in 2013. Positioned as a “supertrainer” within its running lineup, the shoe features a groundbreaking cushioning system called HyperBOOST PRO. This material is at least 40% lighter than standard BOOST and offers an average of 20% higher energy return compared to other BOOST products, according to the brand. Adidas claims that a study conducted at the University of Cologne found that four out of five runners who tested the HyperBOOST EDGE perceived softer cushioning than their existing footwear. These athletes also reported a stronger energy return from the new trainer. While the shoe’s design includes a small plastic element in the outsole, it lacks the rigid feel of some of the brand’s other Torsion System models. Visually, the HyperBOOST EDGE shares similarities with adidas’ top-tier road running models but diverges in key design aspects. The sleek upper features no 3-Stripes branding, which has been relocated to the midsole. A striped pattern across the foam’s top half indicates where the foot sits, while callouts to the shoe’s name and cushioning system are displayed on the spine and medial midsole. The debut colorway, dubbed “Hyper Crush,” draws inspiration from the anatomy of the foot. Additional color variations are expected to be released throughout the year. Adidas also plans to integrate HyperBOOST PRO technology into other footwear designs across multiple sports. The HyperBOOST EDGE will be available globally starting March 17 via adidas.com for $200.#adidas #hyperboost_edge #university_of_cologne #hyperboost_pro #hyper_crush

NHAI promises uninterrupted fuel, bitumen supply amid rising cost concerns The highway developers said they anticipated an increase in transportation cost on the back of increase in diesel price and rising input material costs are expected to escalate transportation expenses. They also suggested NHAI to reduce the price indexation lag from three months to one month to better reflect real-time market conditions and prevent under-compensation to contractors. #amid_rising #uninterrupted_fuel #bitumen_supply #transportation_expenses #NHAI_promises #promises_uninterrupted #supply_amid #highway_developers #input_material #rising_input

Adidas Hyperboost Edge Review (2026) The Adidas Hyperboost Edge, a new addition to the brand’s running shoe lineup, has been praised for its exceptional cushioning, energy return, and durability in lab tests. Reviewer Carlos Sánchez highlighted that the shoe delivers a “super trainer” experience, combining ultra-cushioning with a bold design that feels fun and agile during runs. While the price point is high and breathability is limited, the shoe is positioned as a strong contender in the competitive Boost series. The Hyperboost Edge excels in shock absorption, with lab data showing a heel score of 154 SA and a forefoot score of 145 SA—both above the average of 130 SA across 326 tested shoes. Its Hyperboost Pro foam, a PEBA-based material, outperformed most competitors, achieving an energy return of 73.6% in ASTM F1976 tests. This result surpassed even the ASICS Megablast, a model often regarded as a benchmark in the category. The shoe’s massive 44.6 mm heel stack and 38.1 mm forefoot height contribute to its ultra-cushioned feel, though this reduces ground feedback and may appeal more to runners prioritizing protection over responsiveness. The Hyperboost Edge’s design includes a late forefoot rocker, which encourages a more aggressive toe-off, and a balanced heel structure that supports the high stack without excessive curvature. The Primeweave upper offers comfort, while the full-length rubber outsole enhances durability. However, the tapered toebox may not suit wider feet, and the shoe’s limited breathability could be a drawback for some users. The review recommends the Hyperboost Edge for runners seeking a versatile shoe for long runs, marathons, or race day use, particularly those who value cushioning and energy return.#adidas #carlos_sanchez #hyperboost_edge #boost_series #adizero_evo_sl
