Here's what Anupam Mittal wrote about RBC's win
I live in Bombay, by geography and by default, that makes me a Mumbai Indians fan
But this RCB win felt so personal.
Kohli's real victory wasn't the trophy, it was rising above the years of doubt, the memes, and the endless 'maybe next year' chatter
It wasn't dominant. It was unlikely, the kind of win even optimists hedge against.
And yet, it showed. Look at the number of different players who walked away with Man of the Match
Every single one stepped up. Every single one counted.
That's how you rewrite the script.
This wasn't just another IPL final.
It was grit, teamwork, and quiet belief in its purest form.
The kind of win that moves something inside every Indian, no matter which jersey you wear.
Resilience doesn't go viral but it surely endures.
Until next season

‘Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' trailer: Diganth returns; Four murders, one accident
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Kannada cinema's charming star Diganth Manchale is back, this time in a quirky black comedy titled 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' (translated as The Reason for the Left-Handed Accident). Directed by Samarth B Kadkol, the film blends murder, mystery, and humour in a plot where nothing—and no one—is what they seem. The newly released trailer hints at a refreshingly quirky storyline that centers on four murders and a mysterious accident — all somehow connected to the main character's unusual struggle of being left-handed in a world designed for right-handers. Diganth as Lohit Rajesh: A leftie caught in chaos Diganth steps into the role of Lohit Rajesh, a techie who kicks off the trailer with an odd but attention-grabbing revelation — he's involved in four murders and one accident. But according to him, none of it is really his fault. His explanation? Being left-handed in a right-handed world naturally leads to 'accidents.' It's a strange premise, but one that instantly sets the tone for a film packed with oddball humour, unexpected twists, and plenty of chaos. The story leans heavily on situational comedy while keeping a layer of suspense alive throughout. Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana Official Trailer |Diganth|Dhanu|Nidhi |Samarth |Hyphen - Keelambi Studio A strong ensemble adds to the fun The film also stars Nidhi Subbaiah , Dhanu Harsha, Sourav Lokesh, and Krishna Hebbale, with special appearances by Radhika Narayan and Nirup Bhandari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo With this cast and its offbeat setup, the film promises a fun, entertaining ride full of quirky moments and unpredictable turns. Audiences seem to be highly impressed by the trailer. One wrote, 'Left Hand Lohitಗೆ…ಜೈ ಬಹುದಿನಗಳಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ನಮ್ಮ Childhood ಜೋಡಿ ದಿಗಂತ್ ಹಾಗೂ ನಿಧಿ ಸುಭಯ್ಯ ಮತ್ತೆ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ತೆರೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ. (Hats off to Left Hand Lohit After a long time, a good film has come to Kannada. Our childhood star pair, Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah, are back together on the silver screen.)' Another one wrote, 'This is how trailer should be. .. Kathe nu bitkod'de, curiosity build madide.. Kannadadalli olle trailer cut madalla anta ansodu... Finally they did it!. This movie should become superhit!.' Diganth's massive comeback is on cards The film also marks a reunion between Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah, a pair that charmed audiences with the cult romantic hit Pancharangi in 2010. Over a decade later, their screen presence still holds nostalgic value for fans. Meanwhile, Diganth appears to be establishing himself as the go-to face for quirky roles, with recent films like 'Bachelor Party' and 'Powder'. 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana', set to release in theatres on June 13, could be another feather in his cap, and the expectations are quite high.
