‘Dhurandhar the Revenge’ Review: A License to Kill, a Lot Aditya Dhar’s sequel to Dhurandhar, titled Dhurandhar the Revenge, continues the story of Hamza Ali Mazari, portrayed by Ranveer Singh, as an undercover Indian agent navigating the murky waters of political intrigue and organized crime. The film escalates the ultraviolent tone of its predecessor, blending elements of espionage, mafia-style conflicts, and historical references to India-Pakistan tensions. Hamza, now operating with greater autonomy from his Indian superiors, becomes a figure of both heroism and brutality, his mission framed as antiterrorist but often overshadowed by the graphic violence that defines his shadow war. The narrative follows Hamza’s consolidation of power, driven by his dual identity as a recruited convict named Jaskirat and a vengeful avenger for his sisters’ deaths. A brutal flashback sequence, which transitions from a tactical home invasion to a series of grisly killings, sets the tone for the film’s approach to violence. The plot incorporates real-world events, such as the 2016 ban on large currency notes in India, and echoes the rhetoric of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, weaving political commentary into the action. The film’s ultraviolence is relentless, featuring scenes of burning people alive, point-blank executions, and threats to erase entire bloodlines. The soundtrack, described as more akin to the background of a first-person shooter game than punchy needle drops, enhances the sense of immersion in a world where violence is both a tool and a spectacle. Critics may argue that the sequel further desensitizes viewers to violence along national or religious lines, reflecting the current geopolitical climate.#aditya_dhar #ranveer_singh #hamza_ali_mazari #narendra_moddi #2016_currency_note_ban
PM Kisan 22nd Installment Delay: Farmers Await ₹2,000 Payments The 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme has faced delays, with farmers still waiting for their ₹2,000 payments. While officials suggest the funds could reach beneficiaries by the end of the following week, no official confirmation has been released yet. Earlier hopes of receiving the money during the Holi festival in March have not materialized, leaving farmers in anticipation. The PM Kisan scheme, launched on February 24, 2019, provides ₹6,000 annually to farmers in three installments, with payments directly transferred to their bank accounts via the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. The scheme is designed to support agricultural households, with each installment released every four months. However, delays in the 22nd installment have raised concerns among beneficiaries. The 21st installment was released on November 19, 2023, with farmers receiving their ₹2,000 share. Since then, the 22nd installment has been delayed, prompting questions about the timeline. Officials have indicated that the government is working to finalize the release, with expectations that the funds will be disbursed by the end of the next week. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Assam on March 13 has added to the speculation. The trip, which includes the inauguration of development projects, is seen as a potential opportunity to announce the 22nd installment. However, no official announcement has been made yet, and farmers continue to await clarity. Farmers can check the status of their payments through the official PM Kisan portal or by contacting their local authorities. The scheme’s transparency and timely disbursement are crucial for rural livelihoods, and any further delays could impact the financial stability of participating households.#assam #narendra_moddi #direct_benefit_transfer #pm_kisan #pm_kisan_scheme
BJP Nominates Ahom and Adivasi Leaders for Assam's Rajya Sabha Elections The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam announced on Tuesday (March 3, 2026) that Culture Minister Jogen Mohan and MLA Terash Gowala would represent the party in the Rajya Sabha elections scheduled for March 16. The nominations mark a strategic move in a state where the BJP is vying for dominance amid growing competition from opposition forces. Both candidates belong to marginalized communities, with Mohan identified as an Ahom and Gowala as an Adivasi or “Tea Tribes” leader, highlighting the party’s focus on securing support from these groups. Three Rajya Sabha seats from Assam are set to become vacant after the retirement of Bhubaneswar Kalita, Rameswar Teli, and independent Ajit Kumar Bhuyan in April. The BJP’s selection of Mohan and Gowala is seen as a significant step in the lead-up to the polls, particularly given their representation of communities that form a substantial portion of the electorate in eastern Assam. This region, which has historically been a stronghold for the BJP, is now facing intensified challenges from a coalition of opposition parties. The Ahom and Adivasi communities are key voter bases in eastern Assam, where the BJP secured a majority of its seats in the 2016 and 2021 state elections. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasized the importance of these candidates, noting their grassroots connections and proven record of public service. He praised the BJP’s decision to nominate them, stating that their inclusion would strengthen the party’s parliamentary efforts. Sarma also acknowledged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Nitin Nabin for the “exceptional nominations,” while confirming that the duo would file their nominations on March 5.#bjp #himanta_biswa_sarma #jogen_mohan #terash_gowala #narendra_moddi
