Chennai to host three-day Patriotic Film Festival from tomorrow ahead of Independence Day
Patriotism has long been a central theme in Indian cinema, with filmmakers across generations celebrating the nation's history, struggles, and spirit through powerful storytelling. This Independence Day week, that enduring tradition will be honoured through a special patriotic film festival, is jointly organised by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the National Film Archive of India (NFAI). The three-day festival, to be held from August 11 to 13 at the Tagore Film Centre in Chennai, will showcase a curated selection of landmark feature films and documentaries that have stirred national pride over the decades. The event will be inaugurated on Monday, following the opening screening of the 1965 classic 'Shaheed', which pays tribute to the sacrifices of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. Seven feature films and four documentaries are on the festival's line-up. Among the feature films are timeless works such as 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' (1959) and 'Parasakthi' (1952) -- both starring the legendary Sivaji Ganesan -- as well as more recent hits like 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' (2019) and 'Swatantra Veer Savarkar' (2023). Other notable titles include 'Saat Hindustani' (1969), Amitabh Bachchan's debut film set against the backdrop of the liberation of Goa, which will be the festival's closing screening. The documentary segment will feature 'Our Flag, Shahadat, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, and Tilak', each exploring pivotal moments and personalities in India's freedom struggle and nation-building journey. According to the organisers, the festival aims to connect audiences -- especially younger generations -- with films that have not only entertained but also inspired patriotism and civic pride. The screenings will serve as a reminder of cinema's powerful role in shaping and reflecting India's collective identity. Entry to all screenings is free, offering the people an opportunity to experience these classics on the big screen. "We want people to relive the stories that shaped our nation and inspired millions," an NFDC official said. For additional details about the schedule and screenings, interested viewers can contact the organisers at 8778553991.

$7k worth of viral Labubu dolls stolen from Los Angeles store
Sources: iStock The growing frenzy around Labubu dolls, small, mischievous plush monsters designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung and sold by Pop Mart, has taken a darker turn. This week, a group of masked thieves stole roughly $7,000 worth of the collectibles from a store in La Puente, California, about 18 miles east of Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the burglary occurred early Wednesday morning. Surveillance footage shows several individuals in hoodies and face coverings breaking in, rifling through shelves, and carrying out boxes of merchandise. Authorities say the suspects used a stolen Toyota Tacoma, which was later recovered, and the investigation is ongoing. The targeted store, One Stop Shop, posted on Instagram that thieves cleared out its entire Labubu inventory and left the premises in disarray. 'We are still in shock,' the owners wrote, urging the public to help identify the culprits. Source: Getty Images A toy that became an investment asset Labubu dolls, introduced about a decade ago, were initially adored for their quirky charm and playful designs. Retailing for around $20, they are sold in 'blind boxes,' meaning buyers don't know which version they'll get until after purchase. While the concept fuels excitement for some collectors, critics say the practice borders on gambling, preying on impulsive buying behaviors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo What started as a harmless collectible craze has evolved into a high-stakes market. Limited supply, strategic product drops, and global hype have driven prices for rare editions into the thousands. One Labubu recently fetched over $10,000 in the secondary market. This growing value has attracted not only passionate fans but also opportunistic resellers and investors. Bots, scarcity, and skyrocketing prices Source: Getty Images As demand surged, savvy resellers began deploying automated bots to scoop up large quantities of Labubu dolls online within seconds, leaving everyday consumers with limited options. Many are forced to buy from secondary sellers at heavily inflated prices. Social media influencers and celebrities have further fueled demand, turning the dolls into status symbols and speculative assets. The result is a volatile collector's market, and, as the La Puente theft suggests, one that is increasingly attracting criminal attention. With more people treating Labubus like rare art or luxury goods, the pressure on supply and security is mounting. For now, the La Puente case remains open, but it's a stark reminder that the Labubu craze has moved far beyond toy shop shelves and into a space where money, scarcity, and crime intersect.
