Steal, Sell, Steal Again: Crime Branch Nabs Vehicle Thief!
Nagpur: In a meticulous operation, the crime branch on Sunday arrested 28-year-old Nilesh, also known as Abhi Kadbe, exposing a cunning vehicle theft racket with a twist. Kadbe would sell stolen vehicles at low prices, only to steal them back from the buyers. His arrest also led to the discovery of a Mauser pistol with live ammunition in his possession, adding a dangerous element to his crimes. Kadbe, a resident of Dhammajyoti Nagar, was nabbed in Kapil Nagar following a tip-off about an armed suspect. Senior inspector Sandeep Buwa, under DCP Rahul Maknikar, led the operation. During interrogation, Kadbe confessed to buying the firearm from an individual named Altaf in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, claiming it was for self-protection against potential retaliation from his deceived victims. Police revealed Kadbe's unique modus operandi. "He would steal vehicles, make duplicate keys and fake documents, sell them at low prices, and then track the buyers to steal the vehicles back," a senior officer explained. In one incident in Amravati, Kadbe sold a stolen two-wheeler, followed the buyer to a shrine, and used a duplicate key to take back the vehicle while the buyer was praying. In another instance, he pretended to be a buyer for a sports bike advertised in Amravati, took it for a test drive and escaped with the vehicle. Kadbe confessed to seven vehicle thefts in Nagpur and Amravati. The crime branch has recovered stolen two-wheelers — a Yamaha and two Activa scooters — along with a Mauser, four mobile phones, a car key, an iron rod, an iron hammer, a vehicle number plate, an RC book, a mobile charger, a bag, and Rs12,400 cash, totalling approximately Rs3.27 lakh. These seized items and Kadbe were handed over to Kapil Nagar police for further investigation. With Kadbe's arrest, police have dismantled a sophisticated theft network. The cops are now probing whether Kadbe was having any accomplices while carrying out the crimes and his role in any cases.

‘Dhadak 2' Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's bold love story set to clash with Ajay Devgn's ‘Son of Sardaar 2' in cinemas today
'Dhadak 2' starring Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi has finally arrived in cinemas today. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is a sequel to the hit film 'Dhadak', which featured Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. But this time, the story takes a different path. 'Dhadak 2' Plot 'Dhadak 2' is a remake of the powerful Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal'. The film follows Nilesh (played by Siddhant), a law student from an oppressed caste, who falls in love with Vidhi (played by Triptii), an upper-caste girl. Their love story unfolds in the middle of caste politics, injustice and painful truths. ' Dhadak 2' cast Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri, Saad Bilgrami, Manjiri Pupala, Richa, Vipin Sharma, Deeksha Joshi, Mayank Khanna, Aditya Thakare, Shantanu Pandey, Bala, Priyank Tiwari, Ashwant Lodhi, Amit Jaat, and Ravi. Remake of Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal' At the trailer launch of 'Dhadak 2', Karan Johar called the film a 'proud adaptation' of the 2018 Tamil movie, 'Pariyerum Perumal'. His statement got people talking. Fans and critics alike have been wondering if this version can match the legacy of the original film. The original Tamil film was directed by Mari Selvaraj and was inspired by a short story collection he wrote. It was also the debut of actors Kathir and Anandhi. Clashing with 'Son of Sardaar 2' 'Dhadak 2' is not the only sequel releasing today. Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' is also hitting the cinemas on the same day. This big box office clash is one of the main highlights of the weekend. Advance bookings stay modest According to boxofficeindia, despite being sequels to well-known films, neither 'Dhadak 2' nor 'Son of Sardaar 2' has managed to create major buzz through their trailers or music. Industry insiders believe that the timing of their release may have worked against them, as it's one of the most competitive weekends of the year. With 'Saiyaara, 2025's biggest overseas Bollywood hit, still drawing large crowds, 'Dhadak 2' enters cinemas with only a lukewarm pre-release response. The film's future now depends heavily on reviews and positive word of mouth. While it may pick up over the weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday, experts are unsure about its long-term box office run. As per boxofficeworldwide, by 1 August, 'Dhadak 2' had sold 18,000 tickets across national chains. Meanwhile, 'Son of Sardaar 2' was leading with around 28,000 tickets sold. 'Dhadak 2' Movie Review The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars. An excerpt from the review reads:'The film delivers several heart‑wrenching moments depicting the injustice meted out to oppressed castes—some subtle, such as Vidhi's father (Harish Khanna) leaving out Nilesh's surname from the guest list to his elder daughter's wedding, and others painfully blatant, like Nilesh being smeared with sludge by classmates. The plot also explores the violence and false allegations people from lower castes often endure. While these incidents are gut‑wrenching, the romantic arc between the leads feels underdeveloped.' Repetitive writing, powerful scenes The screenplay, written by Shazia Iqbal and Rahul Badwelkar, has its ups and downs. The review adds, 'Written by Iqbal and Rahul Badwelkar, the narrative occasionally feels repetitive as it focuses heavily on Nilesh's oppression. It also touches on student politics, showing Nilesh's initial reluctance to get involved and hinting at his change of heart later, but the track fizzles out.' How will 'Dhadak 2' perform at the Box Office? With modest advance bookings and stiff competition from 'Son of Sardaar 2' and ongoing hits like 'Saiyaara', the success of 'Dhadak 2' will depend on audience reactions. But with an emotionally heavy plot and a powerful performance by the lead actors, the film has a chance to win hearts over the weekend.

Dhadak 2 Review: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's gritty social drama shines but convenient climax dilutes impact
Plot: Nilesh (Siddhant Chaturvedi) is a determined law student from a lower caste. Vidhi (Triptii Dimri) is an upper-caste girl living happily with her father and siblings. They study together at the National Law University in Bhopal. Nilesh lacks a strong English background and struggles to grasp new concepts. The two become close friends after Vidhi decides to teach Nilesh fluent English to improve his prospects in the field of law. As they learn more about each other, their friendship blossoms into love. Vidhi invites Nilesh to her sister's wedding. However, Vidhi's father grows suspicious of their growing closeness and warns Nilesh to stay away. Vidhi's brother takes it a step further, humiliating Nilesh. Nilesh and Vidhi's relationship now faces fierce opposition from Vidhi's semi-conservative family, who are willing to go to extreme lengths, including hiring a contract killer, Shankar (Saurabh Sachdeva), to stop it. Will Nilesh and Vidhi's love triumph, or will her family prevent it? Watch Dhadak 2 to find out. What Works for Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 's biggest strength is its grittiness, which feels raw and real, especially in the first half. Shazia Iqbal captures the ugly truth of caste discrimination with great honesty, helping viewers understand the weight of Nilesh's struggles. The opening scene, where Saurabh Sachdeva as Shankar ruthlessly kills a boy, is haunting and sets the stage for the film's bold tone. The film's heart is in the right place. It tackles a serious issue that remains relevant today. The story flows smoothly, keeping viewers engaged as the love story unfolds against a tense backdrop. The film's colour grading syncs with its dark and uncertain tone. The title track Bas Ek Dhadak is soulful, as are other songs like Tu Meri Dhadak Hai and Duniya Alag. The background score is hauntingly effective. There's a scene towards the end of the film where Nilesh finds his college friend in a questionable state, and the chilling score in that scene gives you goosebumps. There also is a scene where Vidhi tries finding out about why Nilesh is not talking to her, and needless to say, that scene is also elevated by the background music. What Doesn't Work for Dhadak 2 While the film starts strong, it stumbles toward the end with an overly cinematic climax that feels too good to be true. The gritty realism that makes the first half so compelling is diluted by Bollywood-style drama. This undermines the film's hard-hitting message. The ending feels unrealistic and detracts from the raw edge that defines the story. The remake factor prevents the film from surpassing its source material. The emotional scenes, especially those involving Nilesh and Vidhi, don't always hit the mark. While Siddhant and Triptii shine in lighter moments, their heavier emotional scenes often fall flat. The dialogues in the film don't stand out. Regardless, Dhadak 2 is an honest film with a beating heart. Watch the Dhadak 2 Trailer Performances in Dhadak 2 Siddhant Chaturvedi delivers a sincere performance as Nilesh. He's at his best in scenes where he's humiliated yet stands tall. Triptii Dimri brings grace and charm to Vidhi, making her relatable as a girl caught between love and societal pressure. Both actors could do better in emotional scenes. Saurabh Sachdeva steals the show as the chilling Shankar. His calm yet menacing presence adds a layer of dread, especially in the shocking opening scene. Vipin Sharma is a standout as Nilesh's father, bringing warmth and heartbreak, particularly in scenes where he faces public humiliation. Zakir Hussain also leaves a mark as the principled yet conflicted college principal. Final Verdict of Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 is a bold and heartfelt attempt to blend romance with a powerful social message. It's gritty and hard-hitting. However, the overly dramatic, too-good-to-be-true ending and the lack of originality as a remake hold it back from being truly memorable. Overall, Dhadak 2 is a respectable effort that could have been even better with a more grounded climax. You can watch Dhadak 2 in theaters now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Escapades into anime world
Learning lens Anime often dives deeper into the building of its characters, especially its antagonists, offering more than just a good-versus-evil narrative. Expanding on this portrayal, Nilesh adds, 'A character wanting revenge is a simple plot. But in anime, you will be shown why he does that. Even if something wrong is happening, you will see the perspective of why that eventually happened.' Zooming into different characters' lives, anime offers multiple perspectives. Beyond this, many shows evolve based on viewers' responses and recommendations. MS Raghul, aka Tamil_anime_psycho, a cosplayer and cosplay prop maker, shares, 'Audiences who were reading Attack of Titan wrote a letter to the author stating that the ending is not good. The author publicly apologised and changed the end. That is how powerful this fanbase is. They find the authors close to them or somebody whom they can relate to.' Raghul started watching anime during the pandemic and became a cosplayer after watching Dr. Stone. Here, the lead character, Senku Ishigami, sleeps only to find out that thousands of years have passed and he is currently living in the Stone Age. The doctor, then, reinvents everything, including the method to purify alcohol, magnets, and electricity generation. He also creates devices like steam engines, automobiles, and even a cell phone. 'When I was an engineering student, I had this policy, where if I could not buy anything, I would make it myself. That is what Dr Stone was doing. That stayed with me and I transitioned into becoming a cosplayer,' Raghul expresses.
