Akash Deep reveals sisters cancer battle, dedicates match-winning show to her
Birmingham, Jul 7 (PTI) "Every time I had the ball in my hand, her thoughts would cross my mind," said an emotionally overwhelmed Akash Deep as he dedicated his stellar performance in India's jinx-breaking Test win over England to his sister, who is battling cancer for the past two months. Having taken 10 wickets in the series-levelling 336-run victory at the Edgbaston here on Sunday, the 28-year-old Bengal speedster well and truly arrived on the big stage with a performance of a lifetime on a track that was, for most part, a bowler's graveyard. "I have not spoken about this with anyone but two months back, my sister was diagnosed with cancer. She will be very happy with my performance and this will bring some smiles back," he controlled his emotions while talking to Cheteshwar Pujara on 'Jio Hotstar'. "Every time I picked up the ball, her thoughts and picture crossed my mind. This performance is dedicated to her. I want to tell her, 'Sis, we are all with you'," he added. Speaking about the match, he was happy that the plans and the processes that he put in place worked out wonderfully during the game. "My main aim was to hit the seam on hard lengths and let the ball move in. In case of Joe Root, my aim was to bowl from wide off the crease and get it to shape away. "In case of Harry Brook, I knew that he is committed on the backfoot and wanted to hit the seam hard and on fuller length, getting it to move in," he explained the planning behind his wicket-taking deliveries. A believer of living in the moment, Akash would like to savour his match-winning performance and not think about playing at the iconic Lord's cricket ground where the next Test will be held from July 10-14. "I haven't thought about my game-plan for Lord's. But it won't be very different from what it has been here. There would be days when it would work and there would be days, it won't work. "Our job is to stick to our strengths and believe in our processes," he said.

‘Uppu Kappurambu' review: A quirky rural tale with heart and humour
Rating: 3/5 UppuKappurambu, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is a heartwarming rural dramedy set in the 1990s. Directed by Ninnila Ninnila fame Ani I.V. Sasi and starring Suhas and Keerthy Suresh, the film blends eccentric storytelling with emotional undertones, offering a charmingly offbeat watch that dares to be different. Story: In the peculiar village of Chitti Jayapuram, Aparna (Keerthy Suresh) unexpectedly becomes the panchayat president, despite having no clue about governance. Enter Chinna (Suhas), a humble gravedigger battling cancer, who brings up an unusual concern in a village meeting—only four graves remain in the village cemetery. What follows is a bizarre yet thought-provoking scramble as villagers rush to reserve spots, all while Chinna tries to fulfill his mother's final wish. Aparna and Chinna's intertwined journey forms the emotional and comedic backbone of the film. Performances: Suhas continues to impress with his ability to transform into any role. His portrayal of a sick, grounded young man is both restrained and impactful. Keerthy Suresh, shedding her glamorous image, dives headfirst into a delightfully oddball role. Her transformation from a clueless leader to a determined problem-solver is commendable. Supporting actors Babu Mohan and Shatru bring levity, while Talluri Rameshwari adds gravitas with a poignant performance. Technicalities: Ani I.V. Sasi deserves praise for crafting a story that stands apart. The narrative's tonal shift—from absurd humor to heartfelt emotion—is ambitious and largely successful. Cinematography by the rural backdrops captures the essence of village life beautifully. The background score enhances both comedic and emotional beats, while the songs are soulful and situationally apt. Editing falters slightly in the first half but regains rhythm post-interval. Overall, the production values are modest yet effective. Analysis: Uppu Kappurambu is an unconventional film that walks the fine line between satire and sentiment. While its quirkiness might not be for everyone, its emotional payoff and character arcs make it a rewarding experience. It celebrates the beauty in the bizarre and the humanity in the simplest acts. A charming and bold rural drama that mixes humor with heart. Powered by sincere performances and a unique premise, Uppu Kappurambu is worth your time—especially if you're in the mood for something refreshingly different.

Kamal Haasan confesses that ‘greed for money' stopped him from learning. Actor says could have ‘learned more'
Kamal Haasan , known for his unmatched versatility in Indian cinema , has worn many hats over his 65-year-long career—actor, writer, director, producer, choreographer, and even a trained makeup artist. But now, in a strikingly honest revelation, the iconic performer says there's something he stopped doing somewhere along the way: learning. In an interview with PTI, Haasan admitted that his avarice—his own word—for money got in the way of his thirst for knowledge. 'I like money. I want it to come to me,' he told PTI, explaining why he no longer sought out new mentors or teachers. 'Because of my work schedule, I stopped seeking more gurus. I think my avarice for money stopped me from learning. Otherwise, I would have learned more.' The 69-year-old legend reflected candidly on how fame and fortune can gradually distance artists from genuine growth. He explained that while cinema allows one to reach a vast audience, it also removes the artist from the direct experience of appreciation or critique. Over time, this disconnect can lead to arrogance, as feedback is filtered through media reports or fan interactions rather than real-time applause or honest criticism. The result, he suggested, is a skewed perception of success and a growing detachment from reality.
