Remembering the summer of Blur and Oasis … and the attention war that followed it
Thirty years ago, the UK was gripped by a battle of the bands – reminding us that the past really is a foreign country and they definitely do things differently there. Blur and Oasis, the pre-eminent Britpop music acts of the era, released their respective singles Country House and Roll With It on August 14, 1995. Such was the popularity of the two bands at the time that if the release dates of their songs had been staggered, then both would have claimed the coveted number one spot in the weekly charts. But when Blur and Oasis chose the same day for release, only one could claim top spot. In this pre-streaming era of 1995, weekly sales were the hard currency of the day and the Blur-Oasis contest ensured nearly 500,000 copies of the two singles combined were sold that week, a huge number in a time when about 70,000 sales pretty much guaranteed a number one hit in the UK. The rising tide lifted all the boats that week, as single sales raced to record heights for the decade. Country House won out, with the UK finding out the results through the Sunday evening radio broadcast of the chart countdown. Anyone old enough to recall the 'Britpop battle' in the UK will have a memory of the extraordinary late summer of 1995, when those two bands occupied the entire cultural space. Maybe your memory might be jogged still further when the moment is dramatised in The Battle stage play, which will open in the UK next year. The contest set up the most binary moment in households across Britain, particularly as it tugged at the class and geographic schisms of UK society, apparently pitting northern, working-class Oasis against southern, middle-class Blur – or surly Mancunians and chirpy Londoners, as some described it. Yes, the mid-90s really were a peak moment in derogatory labelling. John Harris's 2003 book, titled Britpop: Cool Britannia and the Spectacular Demise of English Rock, describes the week in which the bands locked horns as a period that birthed 'an outpouring of comment and coverage that turned Britpop into an inflated caricature of itself', while noting that the two singles in question were close to being their worst work of that era by both bands. Contemporary critics also described both singles as lacklustre – describing Country House as mod pastiche and Roll With It as stadium rock quality – not that it mattered much given those level of sales and the fevered interest in the bands. Decades later, Roll With It doesn't appear on Spotify's popular Oasis songs list, but Country House does show on Blur's streaming platform roll of honour. Oasis have been entertaining huge crowds on their revival tour this summer and have played Roll With It on every night so far, according to Set List data. Blur, meanwhile, played Country House to generous applause during their Abu Dhabi Grand Prix post-race set a decade ago, providing a relatively rare outing for the song. It didn't feature at all during their last live outings at Coachella in April 2024. Roll With It may be a firm fan favourite this summer, but it wasn't the favourite in that summer week of 1995. Blur claimed victory in the chart battle, but within months Oasis were said to have won the war, by dint of superior album and concert ticket sales. Less than a year later, the Manchester band were playing two huge sold-out concerts at Knebworth House, while Blur appeared to wear the spoils of that August 1995 victory wearily. Beyond the nostalgia and the moderately ripping yarn of that 1995 moment, what else is there to take away from a peculiarly British cultural moment? First, it reminds us how radically the metrics of success have changed over time. In the streaming era, the battle is almost irrelevant; it is the war for long-term dominance and overall consumption and attention that matters. And yet, in a playlist and suggested-for-you driven world, the individual song is as important as ever in the compounding nature of the subscription economy. Those millions of listens your favourite artist accrues every month are more likely to have been gathered from cleverly selected platform playlists than from the 20th-century tradition of listening to an album from start to finish. The mid-90s were a peak time for tribalism and the primary way of showing your colours was to actively go out and buy physical media. People still wanted to own the music they loved in those days, something far removed from the habits of now. As the relative popularity of those two songs on platforms shows us, there can also be unlikely twists and turns in the history of a popular release. Oasis's song for the ages, Wonderwall, released later in 1995, didn't make it to number one on the UK singles chart either, but is one of the top 3 most streamed songs from the 1990s, only bettered by a pair of songs that also did not top the charts when released. The 1980s provides other examples of the same trend and underscores, perhaps, that past performance is not indicative of future results. Back in 1995, a piece published in The Telegraph the day after the result was known compared it to the fuss to 30 years before, when the Rolling Stones and The Beatles were chart rivals and speculated that 'it seems unlikely that, in 2025, either Blur's or Oasis's offerings will have earned similar status in the rock n roll pantheon'. Some might say, predictions are a fool's errand.

'War 2' Review: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR shine in a very stylish, very ludicrous thriller
Welcome to yet another edition of the YRF 'Spy Universe'. This time it's the much-hyped sequel of the 2019 Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer War with Roshan being joined by another superstar, Tollywood's Jr NTR. Now, the problem with Bollywood franchises, universes and galaxies is that the template is already set. All the filmmaker needs to do is play inky-pinky-ponky, replace hero A with hero B and add new songs. The rest remain the same — India-hating villains, bizarre VFX-dominated action set pieces in Europe and the UAE, female leads in bikinis, snazzy dance numbers and oodles of desh bhakti. Voila! The 'new' spy film is ready. In fact, the above paragraph pretty much sums up War 2. The 2.50 hour long Ayan Mukerji-directed slog begins with a heavy duty fight scene set allegedly in Japan (though it looks like some strange gray wonderland from a comic book on screen) where rogue spy Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) drops and singlehandedly demolishes a whole bunch of Japanese mafia, their boss and a CGI wolf. This entire episode has no relevance to the rest of the film save for the fact that it was a task to land Kabir his next assignment — do the bidding of a mysterious cartel named Kali whose members appear in hologram avatars and give him instructions on what or who to kill next. Kali is a motley group comprising powerbrokers from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Russia and Myanmar whose aim is to destabilise nations, bring regime changes and control power structures and the economy. Their next target: India. Kabir must first, albeit reluctantly, kill his mentor, Col. Luthra (Ashutosh Rana), to earn Kali's trust. However, the Indian security forces catch wind of his plans and assemble a team to stop him. Enter hero number two: Vikram Chelapthy (Jr NTR), a Special Units Officer, presented like a demi-god who can destroy a hardened bunch of Somalian terrorists in high seas barehanded with the loud score of Shaitan blaring in the background. Giving him company in this mission is Wing Commander Kavya Luthra (Kiara Advani) and the new RAW chief, Vikrant Kaul (Anil Kapoor). To further spice up the pot, Kavya happens to be Col. Luthra's daughter and Kabir's ex. Along the way, the story packs in a betrayal by a key character, a childhood connection between the two leads, a love story, an assassination attempt, double-crossing agents and callbacks to characters from the first War. All of which are glued together by action set pieces that go from riveting to ridiculous. Let's admit it — when we book tickets for such films, we're not expecting intricate twists, complex geopolitics or high-stakes espionage. We go in ready to suspend disbelief in exchange for non-stop entertainment, edge-of-the-seat thrills and a splash of glamour. Take the Mission Impossible series: we know it's not humanly possible to scale the Burj Khalifa, cling to a speeding plane, leap off a cliff on a motorbike or sprawl like a spider to retrieve a disk. Yet we cheer Ethan Hunt through every superhuman feat because the on-screen spectacle draws us in. Of course, the charm of the stars play a major role in evoking those emotions. On that front at least, YRF isn't found wanting. Be it Tiger, Pathan, Kabir, Jim, Zoya or Rubai, there are enough charismatic and good-looking actors in this kingdom that make us happily buy into the fantasy no matter how over-the-top the stunts and how implausible, the plot. And that's pretty much War 2's intention: pummell the viewer's senses with action, style, more action and more style. Both Hrithik and Jr NTR. are glorious. I lost count of the number of times Kabir and Vikram walked in slo-mo but they make for great eye-candy so no complaints! Their much-talked about dance sequence is terribly placed and would have made for better viewing in the end credits but the duo's glib moves make it impossible to take your eyes off the screen. Alas, even the most gorgeous looking stars shooting and kicking their way to glory in stunning locations, need a script that makes sense. And a film requires a narrative that has balance. Unfortunately, writers Sridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala (the latter has also written the dialogue) have missed this memo. War 2's problem is that of excess. There's only so much style and so many extreme close-ups of the two men a viewer can take before the novelty wears off. The treatment lacks freshness and every element gives a sense of deja vu. Be it the color palette or the sets or the locations, they seem to be a leftover from Pathan or the Tiger series - perhaps the production designer got a buy-one-get-three offer to set the movies in! The story may hop from Japan to Somalia to Delhi to Spain to the UAE to Italy to Mumbai to Yemen to Switzerland but the shifts are jarring and not seamless. On the technical side, War 2's biggest failing is the lack of imagination in action choreography with the overuse of VFX and green screen visuals robbing it of any authenticity- a huge no-no for a film whose USP should be its thrills. As it is, the action looks like a cut-copy-paste of previous YRF spy films as well as Hollywood blockbusters. We have Kabir and Vikram fighting each other on a high-speed train, a speeding yacht race, a Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning kind of car chase in Europe, an underground parking lot fight and a hand-to-hand combat in a glacier. It's as if the writers thought out the action set pieces first and then wrote a story around it. In the process, the main conflict point — the mysterious Kali cartel — is dealt with in such a hurry that it's almost laughable. The film tries to be too much. A tale of friendship gone wrong, a saga of patriotism, a tribute to Indian spies, a broken love story and the murky world of international politics. Too many elements have not spoilt the soup entirely but they certainly made it bland. Thankfully, the combination of Hrithik and Jr NTR. keeps you invested though their chemistry is not enough to save the gooey mess. The rest of the cast, be it Anil Kapoor or Kiara Advani, play their parts adequately but that's about it. The movie is long by at least 30 minutes but wait for the end credits: a new character is introduced, arguably belonging to a new planet in this universe. Clearly, the War is getting prolonged though a bit of a ceasefire wouldn't really harm at this point.

Revealed: Georgina Rodríguez's oval diamond engagement ring's value in dirhams
After eight years together, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are officially headed down the aisle — and the engagement ring is every bit as dazzling as fans imagined. On August 11, 2025, Rodríguez confirmed the news on Instagram with a close-up shot of her left hand sporting a massive oval-cut diamond. Her caption, translated from Spanish, read: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." While the couple has yet to reveal official details, jewellery expert Benjamin Khordipour of Estate Diamond Jewelry estimates the stone to be a 22-carat oval diamond, graded H color with VS1 clarity. "The mounting is set in platinum and two ovals weighing two carats each," he told Brides magazine. "The price of this ring is $1,200,000." The staggering amount estimates to Dh4,407,582. It's a fitting choice for one of the world's greatest athletes of all time. The couple has been open about their relationship journey in Rodríguez's Netflix series I Am Georgina. In one episode, friends teased her about when Ronaldo would propose, even singing Jennifer Lopez's 'The Ring or When' at her. Ronaldo, meanwhile, hinted he was waiting for 'that click' before making it official. 'It could be in a year, it could be in six months, or it could be in a month,' he said. 'I'm 1000 percent sure that it'll happen.'
