After Brahmastra, it is Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra’s upcoming movie Thank God that has attracted backlash on social media

Netizens are calling for the Boycott of the film “Thank God” claiming that it mocks Hindu Gods.

Thank God the movie receives backlash on social media

Ajay Devgn, whom we recently saw in the film De De Pyaar De and is currently busy shooting for Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, will next be seen alongside Sidharth Malhotra in a comedy-drama titled Thank God.

The story of the movie is that Ajay Devgn plays the role of Lord Chitragupt. He is the Lord of Karma and responsible for bringing justice.

Fans are unhappy over how Lord Chitragupt is being portrayed. Ajay Devgn is shown seated in a massive mansion with women standing behind him. Netizens claim that the whole plot mocks Hindu Gods.

One of the comments read, “Another attempt has been made by Bollywood to insult Hindu religion and their god’s by releasing the trailer of Thank god by showing Chitragupta, lord Yama jokes have been made and lust feelings such bad deeds have been shown in the film. We should unite to #Boycott_ThankGodMovie.”

Thank God the movie has also landed in legal trouble

A local court in Surat has ordered an interim stay on the release of the film after hearing a petition filed by a former city mayor who claimed that he had been working on the script of a similar film with the same name. However, the makers have said that they had registered the title with the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Film Writers Association (FWA) back in June 2018.

Meanwhile, the case was heard by District Judge MS Patel who ordered a stay on the film’s release until further notice. He said, “An interim stay is granted on releasing of movie Thank God till further orders.”

As per PTI’s report, Aditi Desai, who is representing IMPPA and FWA told the court that both these associations have registered more than 22 titles of films with similar names. She also reportedly informed that Rajiv Arora had taken membership of IMPPA in June last year and registered his copyright on his story titled Thank God.

The case has now been adjourned till May 27 for further hearing

The makers of the upcoming film Thank God, starring Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra, and Rakul Preet Singh, are reportedly facing legal trouble with a Delhi-based lawyer, who has claimed that he owns the rights to the film’s title.

According to a report by Mid-Day, lawyer Dr. Satya Ranjan Das filed a petition before the Bombay High Court on Thursday stating that he owned the rights of the film’s title “Thank God” after registering it with the Indian Performing Rights Society (IPRS) in 2018.

In his petition, he claimed that in 2019, he came to know about the film Thank God and made several attempts to get in touch with the makers and the actors but failed to reach them. So he had sent a notice on January 15 this year demanding that they stop using his trademarked title. However, even after sending two notices, they did not respond, according to Mid-Day.

Dr. Das has also requested the court to direct authorities not to register or certify any objectionable content under his trademarked title “Thank God”. He has also demanded a compensation of `75 lakh from the film’s producers over damages for using his registered title without permission.

The matter is still pending for hearing at the Bombay High Court.

By

Cristiano Ronaldo and his AL-Nassr side lost the Riyadh Cup to AL Hilal on Saturday. It was a clinical performance from the Al-Hilal side as they won the match 2-0. It was a frustrating night for the Portugal legend as he was heckled by the fans in the crowd.

The cameras panned to Cristiano Ronaldo who was swarmed by his teammates. There were chants cheering on Lionel Messi from the stands. Already peeved after losing the game, Ronaldo lost his cool and threw his medal at the fans.

Watch the video here:

During the game, Ronaldo was seen showing disgraceful actions towards the AL-Hilal fans. A scarf which was thrown his way saw the Portugal superstar rub it in the most inappropriate area. The 39-year-old earned the ire of the fans after this incident came to light.

AL-Hilal down AL-Nassr to win Riyadh Cup 2024 –

The 2024 Riyadh Cup final saw some amazing football being played. Cristiano Ronaldo was all smiles as WWE Superstar The Undertaker came out to place the trophy. Once the action began it was an end-to-end encounter as both teams went hard at goal.

Serbian star Sergej-Milinkovic Savic opened the scoring in the 17th minute of the game. It was two-nil 13 minutes later as Salem Aldaswari scored an amazing goal. That was the end of the contest despite an hour left in the game to be played.

There was no way back for the Al Nassr side as they looked clueless in front of goal. Not many chances were created by Ronaldo and his team. Al Hilal’s defense held their own against a rampaging Al Nassr side in the last few minutes.

There was pandemonium in the stands as the final whistle was sounded and the Al Hilal fans celebrated. There was a chorus of Messi chants which visibly irked Ronaldo at the end of the game.

Ever since his move from Manchester United in late 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo has changed Saudi Football. The likes of Karim Benzema and N Golo Kante are currently playing in the Saudi Pro League. AL Hilal themselves signed noted Brazilian sensation Neymar who sic out injured. With the veteran star in the twilight of his career, this kind of behaviour is least expected from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nepal leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has been convicted of raping a 17-year-old in 2022. During the case, he kept playing for the team, notably during the Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup qualifier in June last year. After the case was filed, he was playing for eventual winners, Jamaica Tallawahs. The leg-spinner was released from the team and was taken into custody.

“I know I am facing a difficult time of conspiracy and wrongful allegation and the ramification of its effect is something unimaginable. I am sure there must be some mechanism of compensating to the accused who proven to be innocent in our legal system,” he wrote. “I will soon seek legal support against wrongful prosecution and allegation made against me and I am sure I will get the justice and will return to the cricket ground soon to make the name and fame of my beloved country and I pray for speedy trial.”

After landing home, the former Delhi Capitals player claimed that the allegations made against him were baseless.

“All these things affected me mentally on one hand and on the other hand, I had to go through illness, and due to mental stress and ill health I kept myself in isolation. I have been mentally and physically affected by the portrayal and I have reached a state of imbalance and I have been bringing myself back to a normal state under the advice of doctors. My health is gradually improving, and I am planning to return to Nepal as soon as possible to defend against the false complaint against me,” the leggie wrote on Facebook in September 2022.

Talking about the current status, the bench also slapped him with a fine of Rs 300,000 (USD 2255 approx) and ordered him to pay Rs 200,000 (USD 1500 approx) in compensation to the victim. Lamichhane’s lawyer, Saroj Ghimire, told AFP that he “will appeal the decision in a higher court.”

Published

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir is believed to have a personal dislike for former India skipper Virat Kohli. Over the years, Gambhir has been critical of the 2008 U19 World Cup-winning captain on a lot of issues. Not to forget, Gambhir has been vocal about not the media should be worshipping individual players.

During a talk show on Star Sports, the two-time World Cup winner was asked about the bowler Kohli faced while completing his 50th ODI hundred. As Gambhir gave the right answer, he also mentioned that his rivalry is with Kohli which stays on the field only.

He replied:

“Lockie Ferguson.”

Gambhir then smilingly went on to add:

“Ye aap baar baar dikhana, mujhe sab kuch yaad rehta hai. Ladai meri sirf on the field hai (Please show this clip again and again, I remember everything. My fight is only on the field)”

I want Virat Kohli to bat with the same intent he is known for: Gautam Gambhir

In another conversation. Gambhir said that Kohli must bat the same way against South Africa in the two-match Test series the way he does. Notably, the latter won’t play the practice game as he has come back to India for personal reasons. However, the right-hander will be available for the series.

“It will be in Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s minds that Shreyas Iyer, who is on his first tour, will be batting after Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul, if he plays, will be playing as a wicketkeeper for the first time. However, I want Virat Kohli to bat with the same intent he is known for.”

India’s squad for Tests: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Prasidh Krishna, KS Bharat (wk)
