Kamal Haasan's film Indian 2 is facing legal issues related to its streaming release. According to Pinkvilla, the Multiplex Association of India has issued a legal notice to the film's team, accusing them of violating the mandated streaming timeline. The film debuted in theatres on July 12 and subsequently made its OTT debut on August 9, which is less than the required eight weeks. The Multiplex Association of India has set a guideline that films in Hindi must observe an eight-week gap between their theatrical and OTT releases. Producers who do not comply with this rule risk losing their release in major national multiplex chains, such as PVRInox and Cinepolis. The Indian 2 team had initially agreed to these conditions, which led to the film's screening in these multiplexes. A source told ...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a reward of up to USD 25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, wanted for allegedly killing her young son.

Asian markets rose, with the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific share...

Republican Donald Trump on Friday slammed his rival Kamala Harris after the Democrat gave her first major interview since her dramatic entry into the US presidential election after Joe Biden's exit. Ms Harris, 59, spoke to CNN and described Mr Trump as "pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation."

Attacking Ms Harris, Mr Trump said she "rambled incoherently" in the interview, which came ahead of the US Election Day on November 5.

Kamala Harris defended her policy shifts on key issues Thursday, insisting in the first interview of her US presidential campaign that her "values have not changed." The 59-year-old Democrat also said that she would name a Republican to her cabinet if she wins November's election, in her joint CNN sit-down with her running mate Tim Walz. Rival Donald Trump branded the US vice president the "greatest flip-flopper" as he addressed a rally in the swing state of Michigan.

"I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed," Harri...

By embarking aged 87 on the farthest journey of his papacy, Pope Francis is doing something some believed impossible -- and seeking to silence those who doubt his ability to fulfil his role. The pontiff's 12-day trip to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore starting next week involves 43 hours of flight time and a distance of 32,000 kilometres (almost 20,000 miles). It would be something of an odyssey for anyone, but particularly for someone who has been plagued in recent years by health issues, sparking speculation he might step down as head of the Catholic Church. The trip was originally planned for 2020 but postponed due to the Covid pandemic, and now takes place just three months before his 88th birthday. Weeks ago few observers thought Francis was capable of such a gru...

Donald Trump has been accused of deserting the anti-abortion movement as he seeks to negate attacks by Kamala Harris over one of the most polarizing issues of the US election. The Republican nominee brags often about his role in overturning the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. But -- under relentless fire from Harris and the Democratic Party, and with a majority of Americans supporting access to the procedure -- the former president is now risking the ire of his right-wing base by claiming to promote "reproductive rights." "Trump's abandonment of Pro-Lifers is complete," said a headline in the conservative National Review last week. Jeremy Boreing, the co-founder of right-wing website The Daily Wire, attacked the former president as "philosophically malleable." "His f...

WHAT IS THE CONFLICT ABOUT?

A Danish court said on Thursday it had rejected a request by India for the extradition of a Danish national wanted over a 1995 weapons smuggling case, citing the risk of human rights breaches. India has for years sought to have Niels Holck extradited to stand trial on suspicion of supplying a West Bengal rebel group with around four tons of weapons. Sending Holck to India would violate Denmark's extradition act due to a risk that he would be subjected to treatment in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights, the court ruled. Public prosecutor Anders Rechendorff, who last year nominated Holck for a handover to stand trial in India, told Reuters it had yet to be decided whether the decision would be appealed. "The guarantees India has provided are not valid," defence lawyer Jonas Ch...

Kamala Harris declared Thursday that Americans are ready to turn the page on Donald Trump and chart a new path for the country, in her first major interview since her dramatic entry into November's presidential election. Harris, 59, aimed to stake out a centrist position on CNN, insisting that she will be tough on illegal immigration and support controversial oil and gas fracking -- but not abandon her longtime liberal values. The first female and Black and South Asian vice president described Trump as "pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation." "I think people are ready to turn the page on that," she said. "People are ready for a new way forward." The Democrat also said that she wou...
