Javed Akhtar has this response to those who think Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan's Sholay ‘is not great'
Writer Javed Akhtar, whose film Sholay will celebrate 50 years of release on August 15, has opened up about how "there are some people who say that it's not a great film." Speaking with Screen, Javed shared that even after five decades, the minor characters from Sholay "are used in stand-up comedies" or other films' dialogues. Sholay was written by Salim–Javed (Salim Khan). Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan wrote Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Sholay. Javed Akhtar on people saying Sholay isn't great When asked why the smaller characters of Sholay are timeless, Javed said that he wished he knew. "I wish I knew it. If you find out, do call me and tell me, because I would like to do it again. There are some people, I have heard on YouTube, who say that Sholay is not a great film. Maybe it is not, and I have no idea what the definition of a great film is," he said. Javed on Sholay's minor characters "The fact is, even today, a minor character from Sholay, who has uttered three words, or who just stood there, is used in stand-up comedies. He is referred to in other films' dialogues. He has even become the reference in political speeches. People use their lines such as 'Tera kya hoga, Kaliya'; 'Arre o Samba'; and 'Poore pachaas hazaar'. When you mention 'mausi said this', everybody will know which mausi you are talking about," added Javed. About Sholay Sholay (1975) was an action-adventure film directed by Ramesh Sippy, produced by his father, GP Sippy. The film stars Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Hema Malini and Jaya Bachchan. The film is about two criminals, Veeru (Dharmendra) and Jai (Amitabh), who are hired by a retired police officer (Sanjeev) to capture Gabbar Singh (Amjad). Hema (Basanti) and Jaya (Radha) feature as Veeru and Jai's love interests.

Parmeet Sethi opens up about dealing with loss of sister, undertaking breathing-meditation course which helped him cope: ‘Archana ne mujhe forcefully karaya'
Parmeet Sethi recently opened up about personal tragedies in his life in an intimate conversation with his elder son, Aaryamann, on the latter's YouTube channel. During the discussion, he described how his father managed to escape the 1984 Sikh riots in Delhi even as he lost his cousin uncle in it. He also reflected on the loss of his sister in an accident that left a deep, emotional trauma, so much so that he was almost unable to smile for close to a year. 'Ek saal tak maine smile bhi nahi kiya. It took me a year to be able to smile. I did a course. Archana (Puran Singh; wife) ne mujhe forcefully karaya. (Archana made me do a course). We were going through a very bad time. She was like come and do the course,' Parmeet, 58, said. Adding, he shared his experience of doing the Sudarshan Kriya course. 'When I did the course, mere andar jo jo cheezein thi, jo jo khachra pada hua tha, in my soul, in my being, woh sab baahar nikal gaya…(When I did the course, it was soul-transforming)…When I went through meditation, the first thing I did was to cry. I cried loudly for my sister. Itna roya hun main. Jee bhar kar roya hun. Phir maine khaana khaaya iss kriya ke andar. Imagine…I used to diet a lot at that time…I used to crave rich food…gravy food…I used to control myself since I was an actor…maine woh imaginary khaana khaaya uss din...(during the course, we had to eat imagine eating food….it helped me heal as I was fond of rich, gravy foods because I used to be on diet all the time)…all these things were bottled up inside me… meri jo physical ailments thi…uss din ke baad gaayab hogayi…(whatever physical ailments were troubling me…they were gone)..it was so psychosomatic,' shared Parmeet. He emphasized that he has been practicing rhythmic breathing every day since then. 'It was something that changed. I realised it has so much power. From that day onward, up until now, I have done it every day,' shared Parmeet. Taking a cue from his revelation, let's gain a deeper understanding of the practice. Shiv Rajvanshi, a yoga and spiritual practitioner, said that the practice involves a breathing technique that utilizes different rhythms. 'Essentially, it helps your body, mind, and emotions work in harmony. Sudarshan Kriya employs slow, medium, and fast breaths to alleviate stress and strong emotions. Getting your breathing in sync helps quiet your busy mind so you can think clearly and know yourself better,' said Rajvanshi. According to Rajvanshi, it works by 'taming those thoughts that make you want to snack or eat when you're not hungry.' 'Studies show that doing Sudarshan Kriya regularly helps balance your nervous system, lowers stress hormones, and bumps up the good chemicals in your brain, like serotonin and dopamine. This not only makes you happier but also gives you a natural good feeling, so you don't need to look for happiness somewhere else,' Rajvanshi said. Also, when you focus on your breath, 'it pulls you into the here and now'. 'This helps you ditch bad habits and get a grip on your urges. People who do it say they feel calmer, think clearly, and feel more satisfied. So, as a breathing practice, it provides a way to change from the inside. Fixing your mind and body helps you feel happier, more in control, and peaceful,' said Rajvanshi.

Is Nickelodeon shutting down? What's really happening; rumors explained
As streaming continues to transform how kids watch TV, the landscape for traditional children's programming in North America is shifting, and fast. Linear TV networks are feeling the heat as younger audiences migrate toward platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Paramount+. That pressure has now led to a major shakeup - Nickelodeon's Canadian channel is shutting down on September 1, 2025, alongside multiple Disney-branded channels. Nickelodeon Canada is coming to an end after a 16-year run(X/@Nickelodeon) The Canada conundrum The channel, which launched in Canada in 2009, carried a mix of classic and contemporary Nickelodeon content, including SpongeBob SquarePants and PAW Patrol. According to a report from The Canadian Press, Corus Entertainment, which distributes several U.S. networks in Canada, will be closing five kids' channels: Nickelodeon, Disney XD, Disney Jr., ABC Spark, and La Chaîne Disney. The company cited a 'comprehensive review' of its portfolio and the 'evolving needs of audiences and distribution partners' as key reasons behind the decision. Corus emphasized that the shutdown follows a 'comprehensive review' of its network portfolio and the 'evolving needs' of viewers and distributors. The company will continue to operate the Disney Channel brand on TV and streaming platforms in Canada. The US remains unaffected Though the US Nickelodeon network remains unaffected, the move highlights the network's evolving presence across North America and the wider decline of cable TV. As streaming platforms are slowly but steadily taking over, kids are no longer waiting for scheduled broadcasts, making it harder for traditional channels to retain viewership or attract advertising dollars. While Nickelodeon Canada is coming to an end after a 16-year run, it's unclear whether its programming will shift to YTV, Treehouse TV, or STACKTV, all owned by Corus and still operational. In the U.S., however, Nickelodeon is holding steady with new shows like Wylde Pak and a SpongeBob SquarePants movie set to release this December. The rise of streaming platforms Streaming has transformed how young audiences consume content, with platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount+ overtaking linear television. Kids today aren't waiting for scheduled broadcasts - they're binging shows on-demand, watching short-form content, and engaging with entertainment across multiple devices. That change has hit ad-supported TV networks particularly hard. Despite the fact that Nickelodeon's US operations won't be affected directly, it signals a growing challenge for kids' cable networks across the continent: staying relevant in a market dominated by fast, flexible, and highly personalized digital entertainment.
