Staring at the brutal honesty of AI 171 selfies
Agencies The much-derided selfie - the self-photograph - is the signature of our times. The derision is, of course, self-righteous, a flimsy insurance against charges of vanity, self-obsession, and banality. And yet, it is, arguably, the most potent marker of individualism in human history. Not only is the subject of the portrait oneself, but so is the portrait-taker, a closed circle that was once only available to artists creating self-portraits, and people with cameras in front of mirrors. But within the now-perfectly acceptable (but ritualistically frowned-upon) act of selfie-aggrandisement, there is a sub-genre: of taking selfies before a journey. Among the many heart-sinking reports on those who perished on Thursday's cursed Air India AI 171, the most tragic 'stories' are the selfies taken by passengers before the flight took off. These pictures have entered the public domain of collective grief only because they had been sent off to loved ones who were at the place from where the selfie-taker was departing (Ahmedabad, or other places in India), or to the flight's never-reached destination (London, or other places in Britain). These are pure, non-intervened, non-media(ted) photos, most of them brimming with excited anticipation, of looking forward to the latest leg in yet page of the calendar. There's one selfie that a woman is taking - and a selfie forever-freezes the act of taking the photograph - where she seems extremely chuffed, smiling under her face-mask, to 'catch' a VIP, former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, who's a row behind her in business class fiddling with his phone before take-off. Rupani is, as with most subjects 'caught' (deliberately, or as collateral) in the background of someone else's selfie, unaware of the lady taking a snap. In the same image, another man, sitting at the back with his face mask pulled down to speak on the phone, seems to be aware of the sly potshot being taken. The frame holds that furtive moment, a childish glee of an adult - 'Look who's on the plane with me!' - which is utterly impervious to what we know will follow, soon. The selfie, by being ridiculously honest, with no sense of propriety for future tragedy, becomes a rectangular memorial of life - of three lives - for us to simply stare at, as if there are clues of what is to come embedded in it. There is another selfie 'doing the rounds' - the idiom perfectly capturing the powerful banality of shared sorrow - this time of a family posing and looking into the cam held by an invisible outstretched arm. By now, many of us know the context of this photo of a young couple scrunching themselves to be inside the frame, with their three young children smiling from across the aisle. Dr Pratik Joshi and his wife Dr Komi Vyas can barely contain their excitement of restarting life in London. Along with the palpable excitement of the five, the ordinariness of the setting is breathtaking. The screen in front of the adults bear the message in Hindi and English: 'Viman pe apka swagat hain' and 'Welcome Onboard'. The unshaved stubble on Pratik's face. The sharp incisive incisors-flashing smile on Komi's face. And the children - the eldest girl smiling to show how mature she is compared to her two bashful twin brothers. This selfie, of a young family screaming, 'WE'RE OFF!', must have been sent to the couple's parents and friends, Even the open tray in front of one of the boys seems to be caught in this personal zeitgeist. There are other selfies from passengers and crew of AI 171. Each one tells a story with much more brutal detail than any news story, or image of the wreck can ever communicate. Ironically, selfies memorialise us - even with pouted lips, tongue out, flashing V sign and finally selecting 'the right pose' - with the least artifice. And these 'AI 171 selfies', of individuals with zero hindsight, tell us, individuals with the luxury of still living, what Shelley made Ozymandias say, 'Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!/ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay/ Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare/ The lone and level sands stretch far away.' Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.

Housefull 5 Day 9 India Box Office: Akshay Kumar fronted cruise-comedy nets Rs 8.50 crore on 2nd Saturday
Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar in the titular role, observed a 45 percent growth on 2nd Saturday, to gross Rs 8.25-8.75 crore. The 9 day total of the movie now stands at Rs 128.90 crore. By the end of the 2nd Sunday, the movie will be sitting at Rs 138 crore. It will aim to hit Rs 150 crore by the end of the 2nd week, after which it will find new competition in Sitaare Zameen Par. Housefull 5 had a good opening weekend but the weekday drops were higher than they should have been. Due to weak hold over the weekdays, the 2nd Friday number dropped to Rs 5.75 crore when it should have ideally been atleast Rs 7 crore if not more. The percentage of growth on Saturday is reasonable. With the same percentage, it could have netted Rs 10 crore had the 2nd Friday number been Rs 7 crore. That would also ensure the movie a finish of higher than Rs 175 crore; something that does not seem likely, at present. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Housefull 5 In India Are As Under: Day India Net Collections 1 Rs 22 crore 2 Rs 28.25 crore 3 Rs 29 crore 4 Rs 11 crore 5 Rs 9.90 crore 6 Rs 7.75 crore 7 Rs 6.50 crore 8 Rs 5.75 crore 9 Rs 8.50 crore Total Rs 128.90 crore Housefull 5 will end up as the 2nd highest grossing movie of the franchise but in terms of ticket receipts, it shall end up being the least selling film of the franchise. Internationally, Housefull 5 opened strong, taking the highest opening weekend for an Akshay Kumar movie. The holds have not been strong and thus, a lifetime total of around USD 6.75-7 million (Rs 58-60 crore) is what the movie will fancy. Going by the current trends, Housefull 5 will end up grossing Rs 260 crore worldwide. That would be Rs 15 crore less than the breakeven point of Rs 275 crore, and Rs 65 crore less than the point where it could be in contention to be called a hit. Housefull 5 plays in theatres now.

'Tears roll down...': Rekha made Jaya Bachchan cry at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor's wedding because of...
Bollywood in the 80s was on a completely different path. From screenplay to music, the industry was evolving. However, what remained permanent were the controversies that often made headlines—just like they do today. One of the biggest controversies, which is still discussed even in 2025, is the infamous love triangle of Rekha, Amitabh Bachchan, and Jaya Bachchan. Today, we revisit a past controversy that still stands as one of the most sensational events of all time. During 1980, when Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor were set for their big day, all eyes in the city were glued to them. At the event, many from the Hindi film industry were invited, including Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan. The Mili actor was sitting next to the bride when Rekha made a dramatic entrance. Rekha walked in wearing a spectacular white saree and a red bindi. However, what stole the show was Rekha's red sindoor shining brightly on her forehead. A report by Cine Blitz recounted the events of that evening, describing how Rekha walked into the middle of RK Studios' garden and stood there. Her eyes frequently looked for Amitabh Bachchan, who was having a conversation with director Manmohan Desai. After a while, Rekha approached Big B, and the two began a conversation. Though the two seemed to have a professional exchange, Stardust magazine reported, 'Jaya tried to keep a stoic front for a long time, but eventually she had to bend her head and let the tears roll down.' Yasser Usman documented the details of the incident in his biography titled Rekha: The Untold Story. In a later interview, Rekha opened up on the matter and revealed the reason behind her sindoor and mangalsutra. She said that it was part of her costume for a film she had been shooting and she had forgotten to take them off.
