Chinnaswamy Stadium as fans gather to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketers, winners of the Indian Premier League, in Bengaluru, India, Wednesday, June 4, 2025. (AP Photo/Aijaz Rahi) Former Indian cricket legend Syed Kirmani expressed concern over the tragic death of 11 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans during victory celebrations at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The incident occurred when local authorities failed to manage the massive turnout during celebrations organized by RCB management and Karnataka government to honor the newly crowned IPL champions. Kirmani, who was part of India's 1983 World Cup winning team, offered his condolences to the bereaved families while reflecting on the changing nature of fan culture. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "My condolences to bereaved families. This was a deadly welcome to IPL champions. In our times, there was no such media hype and there was no TV and there was no such thing which could lead to such things," Kirmani told India Today. The former wicketkeeper, who played 88 Tests for India, suggested that the celebration could have been better planned with proper arrangements. IPL 2025 Final | Rishi Sunak Interview: 'I am a big Virat Kohli fan... RCB is my team' "On that count I suppose if RCB waited for 17 (18) years to become champions and organizers whosoever it may be could have waited for a while for things to settle down and then organize a show to felicitate these great heroes of RCB." Kirmani questioned whether similar fan enthusiasm would be shown for Karnataka's potential Ranji Trophy victory, highlighting the evolution of cricket fandom. Who's that IPL player? "The fans of our times were not as crazy as fans of today and especially in the IPL, the crazy fans are unimaginable particularly as you could see lakhs and lakhs were around just to get a glimpse of these great heroes." The stampede resulted from an unexpectedly large crowd gathering to celebrate RCB's championship victory, leading to the unfortunate loss of lives at the stadium.

Thug Life Twitter Reviews: Is Kamal Haasan and STR's gangster actioner worth a watch? Read 13 tweets to know
Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Tamil action thriller Thug Life hit the big screens on June 5, 2025. The film had been highly hyped and had generated decent pre-sales in Tamil Nadu and other states ahead of its release. The first-day, first-show screenings of Thug Life have already begun in some places, and soon enough, social media will be filled with reviews left behind by audiences who have watched it. Thug Life Twitter reviews To begin with, it seems Thug Life has had an average impact on viewers, who have felt that the theme and storyline of the Mani Ratnam directorial were overused and quite stereotypical. Some viewers have criticized the screenplay of the film, finding it lagging and boring, and attributing this to the flat narration, which they believe has impacted the quality of the performances put up by the talented actors. Speaking of individual performances, viewers have mixed opinions about that, as expressed by Kamal Haasan himself. Netizens have noted a lack of emotion in his stint, which contributes to the film's overall lacklustre nature. But on the contrary, many have also appreciated the senior actor's stint on-screen, which has simply lived up to the aura and charisma he possesses in real life. On the other hand, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan's execution of their roles has been categorized as gritty and intense in itself, which improves the viewing experience in some places. The musical score by AR Rahman and the stylish cinematography by Mani Ratnam have earned considerable appreciation. Audiences have found the duo's collaboration to be up to expectations and something that justifies the hype. More about Thug Life Thug Life marks the reunion of Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, nearly 38 years after their film Nayakan. The film has made decent pre-sales in both Tamil Nadu and the rest of the states. Following its theatrical run, The Thug Life will be streaming on Netflix, as announced by the streaming giant.
