Here's a list of five fancy restaurants that you can take your date to:
Mi Piaci, Ambawatta One, Delhi
Delhi's newest Italian address is where you go to fine-dine, but without any of the trappings that come with fine-dining. Mi Piaci, after its much-loved Gurugram run, has now arrived in Delhi. What's more: you get to drool over views of the Qutub Minar while wiping all that truffle-pizza drool off.
Mi Piaci's Delhi address is the premium, cosy Ambawatta One Complex in Mehrauli, the backyard of Delhi's rich and famous. A lunch outing on a weekend will bring you back to Mi Piaci for their heavenly woodfired pizza. This might come as a bit of a blasphemy, but the pizza here might actually taste better than the ones in Naples! Trust founder Lorenzo Lanzoni to get the Indian palate right.

What to absolutely try: Try the Roma 75, a limoncello cocktail that you will order seconds of. The Pizza Tartufo, with mozzarella fior di latte, truffle cream, fresh mushrooms and truffle is an absolute banger.
Round it all off with the house tiramisu - Tiramisu Mi Piaci - that the chef ruffles up at your table: show and substance, both checked.
Matram, Dwarka, Delhi

Kerala unveils draft film policy; focus on financial framework, gender equality, global presence According to the draft, film production and exhibition will be designated as an industry, enabling access to various incentives and easing financing processes. "The recognition of film production as an industry will bring multiple advantages, enhancing transparency and promoting social responsibility within the sector," the policy stated. The government aims to ensure opportunities for all sections of society to contribute to Malayalam cinema's growth, positioning it as a key global stakeholder and preserving its cultural heritage for future generations. The vision statement outlines the goal of building a strong visual communication ecosystem, ensuring equality across related sectors, and transforming Kerala into a regional production hub by adopting advanced technology and increasing the industry's contribution to the state's GDP. The draft notes that India is the world's largest film producer, with over 2,000 releases annually. Hindi cinema leads with about 400 films a year, followed closely by Malayalam with approximately 300. In 2015, India was the fourth-largest film market globally, with theatrical revenue of USD 2.1 billion. Between 2016 and 2021, the Indian film industry grew at an annual rate of 7.7 per cent. The film industry is optimistic about cinema exhibition prospects this year, with experts estimating theatrical revenue for 2023 in India at around ₹12,000 crore. Kerala alone recorded box office collections exceeding ₹2,000 crore in 2023, the draft said. The policy affirms the government's commitment to continued dialogue with various film industry associations, supporting demands for better wages, job security, medical benefits, and insurance. A general financing incentive scheme for Malayalam cinema will be introduced, with specific provisions for women and marginalised communities. The draft also encourages the production of other Indian languages and foreign films in Kerala. A dedicated film development fund will support promotional and humanitarian initiatives outlined in the policy. A venture capital fund for film production, with private participation and crowdfunding options for socially relevant films, will be created and managed by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation . To promote an equitable work environment, the state will issue detailed guidelines and best practices for the film industry. A single-window film facilitation centre will be established to streamline all shooting-related permits in the state. A Film Development Council, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and co-chaired by Culture Minister Saji Cherian, with an industry representative as vice-chairman, will be established as the apex body to oversee the development of the film industry. The council will monitor industry activities and recommend policy interventions to the state cabinet as required.

Sydney Sweeney speaks out amid uproar over American Eagle ‘great genes' ad controversy
Sydney Sweeney has subtly made a comeback to social media after receiving harsh criticism for her most recent American Eagle commercial campaign. Sydney Sweeney, facing criticism for her American Eagle ad, quietly returned to social media with a flower post. (Scott A Garfitt/Invision/AP) In July, the 27-year-old Euphoria star was revealed as AE's new face, kicking off the company's fall 2025 campaign that highlighted its denim roots. The advertising campaign, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' soon became the subject of social media criticism. The ad featured a video that was widely criticized by users, who accused it of being too sexualized and of exploiting the male gaze. The camera pans around Sydney Sweeney's body as she narrates in the contentious commercial. Sweeney stated, 'My genes determine the composition of my body,' while a camera moved along her torso. 'Hey, eyes up here.' Some social media users compared the marketing to 'Nazi propaganda' because of the wordplay that persisted in other advertising materials, which appeared to be a pun on the word 'genes.' 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue,' Sweeney stated in another advertisement for the brand. 'I will be the friend that's too woke, but those Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads are weird,' one critic said, adding that 'Like, fascist weird. Like Nazi propaganda weird.' Did Sydney Sweeney just react to the controversy? Sweeney hasn't publicly addressed the criticism of the campaign, but in the days that followed, she made a discreet comeback to social media. The Euphoria star added a white heart sticker to a picture of a bouquet of pale pink flowers that she shared on her Instagram Story on Friday, August 1. It's unknown who sent the flowers or if their purpose was to cheer her up in the face of criticism. Despite Sweeney's silence, American Eagle released a statement on Friday supporting the campaign. The brand wrote, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans,' on Instagram. 'Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.'
