CBI lodges new case against
Lalu Yadav, raids 17 locations
Patna: Rashtriya Jana-

Prasad Yadav and his
family appear to be in
deep peril, yet again.
The Central Bureau
of Investigation (CBI)
has slapped fresh cor-
ruption charges against
him, only weeks after
being granted bail in
the fifth fodder scam
case. As per reports, his
other family members
have also been named
as the defendants in the
new case.
The new case would
land Yadav in hot water
again as the CBI found
his involvement in a re-
cruiting scam during
his stint as the railways
minister. The CBI al-
leges in the new case
that Yadav and his fam-
ily members got land
and houses as bribes in

Jaipur: Asserting that
eight years of his gov-
ernment have been dedi-
catedtogoodgovernance
and social justice, Prime
MinisterNarendraModi
on Friday asked BJP
leaders to stick to the is-
sues of national inter-
estsandnotto“fallinthe
trap” of some political
parties with an “ecosys-
tem” to divert the coun-
try’s attention from
main matters.
Addressing a virtual
meeting of BJP office-
bearers in Jaipur, Modi

any shortcut and move
forward on the core is-
sues of the country’s
interests. It is the time
for BJP to fix its goals
for the next 25 years and
work continuously for
them, he asserted.
While the BJP has
brought development
into the mainstream of
national politics, some
political parties have
been playing with the
country’sfuturefortheir
momentary benefits, he
claimed, hitting out at
rivals without naming
them. For their selfish
interests, the parties
look for small tensions
and weaknesses in the
society to pour poison
into them, Modi alleged,
addingtheyincitepeople
sometimes in the name
of caste or regionalism.
Noting that since the
days of Jana Sangh, the
forerunner to the BJP,
patriotism, national in-
terest and nation-build-
ing were at the center
of its policies and pro-
grams, he said this pat-
riotism has inspired
the party to focus on
development and trust.

stored post-2014. Modi

Patna: In Bihar, bien-
nial elections are to be
held for five Rajya Sab-
ha seats and bypoll for
one seat. The seat for
the by-election has been
vacated by the death of
JDU’s Mahendra Pras-
ad, so that seat will go to
JDU only
. Out of the re-
maining five, two seats
will go to BJP, two to
RJD and one to JDU.
This time RJD is getting
the advantage of one
seat. One seat is falling
vacant for Misa Bharti,
on which she will again
be sent to the Upper
House. However, there
are many contenders
for the second seat of
RJD. Although the Con-
gress is also making a
claim, but the coordina-
tion between the two
parties has ended and
hence its claim has no
meaning.
The strongest con-
tender for an RJD seat is
that of veteran leader
Sharad Yadav, who re-
cently merged his party
with RJD. He is politi-
cally active again and
the party can send him
to the Upper House. Last

PMLA court rejects Sachin Vaze’s
bail plea in money laundering case
First India Bureau
Mumbai: Dismissed
cop Sachin Vaze’s bail
plea was rejected by a
special PMLA court
on Friday in the mon-
ey laundering case
registered and inves-
tigated by the En-
forcement Directo-
rate (ED).
The ED while oppos-
ing Vaze’s bail plea, in
the case allegedly in-
volving former state
Home Minister Anil
Deshmukh, stated that
he is the key link of the
whole conspiracy. The
prosecution claimed
that he is likely to flee,
and said, “The appli-
cant is an influential
person and if granted
bail, may influence
witnesses, owing to
his strong financial
power and knowledge
of the direction of the
investigation.”
According to the
ED’s response, Vaze
met with numerous or-
chestra bar owners on
Deshmukh’s orders and
requested them to pay
`3 lakh per month for
their seamless opera-
tion in late hours with-
out restrictions on per-
formance artists.
“From December
2020 to February 2021,
Sachin Vaze collected
approximately `4.70
crore from various or-
chestra bar owners in
furtherance of this con-
spiracy to collect mon-
ey from orchestra bar
owners,” the ED stated.
The prosecution also
cited Vaze’s alleged
involvement in the 2021
Antilia bomb scare
case, and the subse-
quent killing of busi-
nessmen Mansukh
Hiran.
New Delhi: Surender Koli was awarded the 14th death

ders in UP’s Noida on Friday. Koli, who was found guilty
of raping and murdering several
children between 2005 and 2006,
already been sentenced to death
in 13 cases. The gruesome case
came to light in December 2006
when skeletons were found in a
drain near a house in Nithari. In
the present case, he was convicted under Indian Penal
Code’s Section 364 and Section 302. Koli was arrested
by the CBI, which filed multiple cases against him and
filed the charge sheets in all the cases.

the caller. The police control
room (112) received a call from
a male, who identified himself

planted a time bomb to go off at 3.50 a.m. on Friday
May 20. The police and Central Industrial Security
Force (CISF) posted at KIA were alerted.
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Friday directed the CBI
to give a three-day prior notice to Congress MP Karti
Chidambaram if it required
to arrest him in connection
with an alleged visa scam
case. Special Judge M K
Nagpal passed the order while
dismissing his anticipatory
bail plea as withdrawn. The
plea was opposed by the CBI, which said it was not
maintainable at this stage. CBI also stated that the
agency will give notice before 48 hours at least if he
was required to be arrested.

BJP leader from
Gujarat, Shailesh
Mehta, recollects
PMModi’sspeech
after the tricolour
was hoisted by
Shri Murli Mano-
har Joshi at Lal
Chowk in Kash-
mir in 1992. The party worker
recalls how Narendra Modi’s
simplicity and soft temperament
touched his life. He cannot forget
the day when Modiji bypassed
the official procedures and vis-
ited Shailesh Mehta at his home
after becoming the Chief Minis-
ter of Gujarat.
It was in 1974 that I came in
touch with Modiji for the first
time. To this day, I have been in
awe of his personality and he
has never failed to inspire me.
Modiji has been blessed with a
magnetic personality that at-
tracts people to him irrespective
of their age or economic status.
All those he comes in contact
with feel that Narenda bhai be-
longs to them and people begin
to converse with him almost at a
personal level, as if they are in-
teracting with their own broth-
er. For him work is worship and
helping others an ideal that he
never diverges from. These at-
tributes of his personality have
resulted in people alluding to
him as “Samarth Sathi”.
Hisspeechafterthehoistingof
tricolour at Lal Chowk in Kash-
mirin1992wasaturningpointin
theIndianpoliticalarena.Naren-
dra bhai, even without realising,
had started to create a new India.
That day theardour of hiswords,
his passionate patriotism, and
the fearless challenge that he
threw open to terrorists, took
Narendra bhai to every home in
India. He created a place for him-
self in the hearts of his fellow
men who were inspired and
floored by the intensity of his
love for his motherland.
At the time I was the Utkarsh
Mantri in Assam and had or-
ganised a welcome programme
for him. I was conducting the
proceedings on stage and as per
the flow of the event, I had to
introduce Narendra bhai, then
invite him for a speech and post
his talk, leave the floor open for
questions from the audience. In
his talk Modiji narrated the Lal
Chowk incident, how the event
unfolded and his thoughts about
it. Well, little needs to be said
about the rhetorical skills of our
Prime Minister. Narendra bhai
is one of the greatest orators of
modern India who speaks
straight from the heart trans-
porting his audience into a
trance like state in which they
simply fail to utter a word even
after he ceased to speak.
His speech in that programme
where he described the Lal
Chowkincidenthadasimilarim-
pact on the audience. They were
spellbound and after his speech
was over, when I asked the audi-
ence to put up questions, there
was pin drop silence. I simply
didn’t know what to do. Once
again I requested the audience to
begin with the question-answer
session but there was no re-
sponse. Now I was left with no
other option but to ask a question
myself.Iactedasif someonefrom
the audience had come up with a
question and put it across to Nar-
endra bhai. But razor sharp as he
is, he immediately knew what
hadhappenedandheansweredat
length, though with a chuckle.
From then on, he nicknamed me
“Prashnakar” and even today ad-
dresses me by that epithet.
By the time he had finished
answering the question, the au-
dience was alive again and then,
God knows, such a bunch of
questions presented themselves
that after a while we had to re-
quest people to calm down and
bring the programme to a con-
clusion leaving the questions for
some other day
.
In a nutshell, that programme
has been one of the most cher-
ished and memorable events of
my life.
Another incident that I would
like to share with our readers
today is when my family mem-
bers wanted to meet Narendra
bhai and congratulate him per-
sonally after he was elected CM
of Gujarat. I organised a Milan
programme at my residence
where my family had gathered
and as is obvious, everyone
wanted to have a picture clicked
with Modiji.
I would like to tell my readers
here that I witnessed with my
own eyes something that makes
leaders truly great. The family
helper, whose name is Mogji,
came to me and requested if he
too could have a photograph
clicked with the Chief Minister.
I told him he could but he would
have to wait. This was over-
heard by Narendra bhai and at
that point, he bypassed all pro-
tocols, flung his arm around
Mogji and with a pat on his
shoulder, said “Get ready for a
photo.” He then called out for
the photographer and got a pic-
ture clicked with Mogji and
well, all others could wait.
This incident, like so may oth-
ers we have heard and read
about our beloved PM, shows us
that in the eyes of a great leader,
all men are equal. Every human
being is important and deserves
to be treated with love, respect
and honour. For Narendra bhai,
there is no distinction between
the rich and the poor, the young
and the old and he truly lives by
the slogan he himself has coined
“Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”. It
is this trait of our PM that en-
dears him to every citizen of the
country, so much so that we all
feel as if Modiji is part of our
own family
. Such feelings of in-
timacy and love for a public per-
sonality are rare but when they
are present it is proof that the
man we admire and love, is not
an ordinary mortal. Modiji is a
great statesman and the world
adores him for his simplicity,
integrity and courage.

CARTELISATION IS GOING TO BE
A CHALLENGE: SITHARAMAN
New Delhi (PTI): Fi-
nance Minister Nirma-
la Sitharaman on Fri-
day said “cartelisation
is going to be a chal-
lenge” and stressed on
the need to look at sup-
ply disruptions in order
to ensure that there are
no monopolistic or du-
opolistic situations
causing either price
hikes or supply manip-
ulations.
Amidst rising infla-
tion which has also
raised concerns about
the economic recovery
from the coronavirus
pandemic, the minister
said there are a few
grievances that input
costs of materials have
gone up in spite of India
having quite a big ca-
pacity to meet the coun-
try’s own demands and
also for exports.
There is a global
shortage of commodi-
ties and raw materials
as well as disruptions
in the value chains and
supply chains due to the
pandemic and the war
situation in Eastern Eu-
rope, she noted.
Sitharaman said
there are disruptions of
various kinds.
“There are very
many stages at which
disruptions are coming
in. Are they genuinely
disruptions caused by
COVID or war, there is
a need to look into these
disruptions, look into
the causes for the short
supply and also assure
that there are no mo-
nopolistic or duopolis-
tic situations causing
either price hikes or
supply manipulations,”
the minister said.
Sitharaman said in
the last two years, the
CCI has stood up and
met the challenges with
a lot more positivity
.
“Challenges are get-
ting more complex,
more nuanced and
more technology-driv-
en. So, the CCI will have
to have such skill sets so
that you are never be-
hind the curve and you
are on top of the is-
sues,” she said.
According to her,
cartelisation is going to
be a challenge also due
to companies scaling up
and growing into areas
which are of great de-
mand. “There could be
a situation where
cartelisation is a possi-
ble threat... Cartelisa-
tion is the larger word I
am using cartelisa-
tion itself is a self-ex-
planatory word but I am
also bringing smaller
elements of other
things which eventual-
ly make commodities
expensive,” she said.
FM STRESSES ON THE NEED TO LOOK AT SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS
THE RECOVERY
There are very many stages at which disruptions are coming
in. Are they genuinely disruptions caused by COVID or war,
there is a need to look into these disruptions, look into the
causes for the short supply and also assure that there are no monopo-
listic or duopolistic situations causing either price hikes or supply
manipulations. —Nirmala Sitharaman, Finance Minister

port restrictions.

million in March and
April, respectively, de-
spite facing challenges
of low wheat produc-
tion as a result of ex-
treme heat wave that
enveloped the northern
part of the country that
caused shrivelled
grains and resultant
drop in yield per acre,”
one of the sources said.

LATEST CBI ACTION AGAINST LALU
Bihar’spoliticaltemperaturesettosoar
Kumar Prabodh
Patna: Political temper-
ature soared in Bihar on
Friday when the CBI
raided several premises
of RJD president Lalu
Prasad, in Delhi and in
Bihar, to investigate a
case relating to alleged
irregularities that took
place during the ailing
septuagenarian's tenure
as railway minister
more than a decade ago.
Leaders and workers
of the party reacted
with predictable out-
rage, squatting on the
street in front of the
residence of the RJD su-
premo's wife and former
chief minister Rabri
Devi, many of them
stripping down to the
waist in a show of anger
against political intimi-
dation.
The BJP, which rules
the Centre and shares
power in the state, re-
jected the opposition
party's charge and as-
serted that the Central
Bureau of Investigation
was working in accord-
ance with the mandate
it enjoyed as an inde-

Hundreds of people
had gathered, by noon,
in front of the 10, Circu-

New Delhi (PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal said
on Friday the CBI's fresh corruption case against
its chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family mem-
bers was predictable and alleged that the BJP
uses probe agencies to scare its rivals whenever
its hold on power is shaken and it believes that
mobilisation against it is taking place. They (BJP)
tries to scare others by targeting someone. No-
body will be scared. Neither will we, nor they and
nor the people of Bihar, RJD spokesperson and
Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha said. He did
not elaborate as to what he meant by others. The
recent meetings between Bihar CM Nitish Kumar
and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav have triggered specula-
tion about realignment of political forces in Bihar,
with the relations between Kumar's JD(U) and its
ally BJP being seen as far from smooth.

Modi said the world is
looking at India with
great expectations. He
kept up his attack on
dynastic parties and
said the BJP has to
keep fighting them to
save democracy and
empower it. These par-

family interests and
have inflicted a lot of
damage on the country,
he said.

leaders on Friday to
alert citizens about at-
tempts being made to
trigger controversies
on the basis of lan-
guage and asserted
that the saffron party
considers all Indian
languages the soul of
“Bharatiyata” (Indian-
ness) and worthy of
reverence.
“Giving priority to
local languages in the

The Union Territo-

No amount of rhetoric

DRI ICG interdict 218 kg
Heroin off Lakshadweep coast
First India Bureau
Kochi: The Directorate
of Revenue Intelligence
(DRI) and Indian Coast
Guard (ICG) have inter-
dicted 218 kg heroin in
mid sea drug bust off
the coast of Lakshad-
weep Islands in a recent
joint operation.
An operation was
launched by the DRI af-
ter it developed specific
intelligence over a pe-
riod of several months
that two Indian boats
would be sailing from
the coast of Tamil Nadu
and would receive nar-
cotics in huge quantity
somewhere in the Ara-
bian sea, during the sec-
ond/third week of May
.
Accordingly, a joint
operation of DRI with
ICG codenamed Opera-
tion Khojbeen was
launched on May 7. Un-
der the said operation,
Coast Guard ship Su-
jeet, with DRI officials
onboard, maintained a
close watch near the
Exclusive Economic
Zone.
After several days of
continuous search and
monitoring amidst
very rough seas, two
suspected boats
“Prince” and “Little Je-
sus” were noticed mov-
ing towards India. Both
the Indian boats were
intercepted by officers
of ICG and DRI on May
18, off the coast of Lak-
shadweep Islands. On
questioning, some of
the crew members in
the said boats confessed
that they had received
heroin in huge quantity
on high sea and that
they had concealed it in
both the boats. In view
thereof, both the boats
were escorted to Kochi
for further proceedings.
Thorough search of
both the boats was car-
ried out at the Coast
Guard District Head-
quarters at Kochi,
which resulted in hero-
in recovery of 218 pack-
ets of 1 kg each. The
seizure proceedings un-
der the provisions of
NDPS Act, 1985 are cur-
rently being undertak-
en by the DRI.

passion as it is not en-
tirely about looks.
It is also a craft
that has to be
practised and de-
veloped with consist-
ent efforts. However,
visual appearance
matters when in
front of the cam-
era. A confi-
dent and de-
terminedper-
sonality is
re q u i re d
for this
h i g h l y
c o m p e t i -
tive field.
Any advice you
would give to your
future self?
Yes, I would surely
give myself one piece
of advice about being
consistent in this pro-
fession. I would ask
myself to go relent-
lessly after my aims
and ambitions. I be-
lieve that these goals
are the expressions of
my true personality
.
What inspired you
to become a model?
I always knew that I
was capable of be-
coming a successful
model. I have all the
traits that are needed
to become a super-
model. However, I am
very well aware of
the fact that it is
a very demanding
and competitive pro-
fession but life is
nothing without
challenges.
What was the
biggest mistake
you made when
you just started?
I made a big mistake
when I started. I was
not well trained and
went for an audition
which embarrassed
me. I could not even
walk properly on the
ramp at that time. So,
you should prepare
well for anything that
you pursue.
What has been the
most memorable or
rewarding moment
in your career?
Every time I walk the
ramp becomes a
memorable moment
for me. It gives me a
lot of confidence and
positivity. I feel the
best reward is when
you are confident
while doing
your job.

happening place is indicated today.
A vacation you only dreamed about
is likely to become a reality soon.
Healthy eating will help prevent
digestive ailments. Money will be no
constraint in buying what you like.
There will be some criticism in the air,
try to deal with them patiently.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
Project left halfway by someone else
may come on your shoulders, but
your efforts will be acknowledged.
Some clarification will need to be
sought on a financial issue, before
you take the next step. A Some of
you are all set to enjoy a splendid
vacation. Be cautious on the money
front this week.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Currently, you are in the midst of
some profound questioning about
your emotional attitudes. You’ll
probably find yourself totally free of
inhibitions, much to your delight. It’s
an opportunity to meet new people
and perhaps become a bit more
open-minded. You can expect lively
events and much pleasure from love.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
You are likely to find the day most
auspicious. Your knowledge about your
line of work will be roundly appreciated
and get you the thumbs up from
higher ups. Friends and family may
get together to give you a surprise and
make your day. Be careful about being
too easily convinced by any “truth” that
comes your way.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
People falling under this sign will
have very refreshing day. Visiting a
mall or watching a movie with family
is likely to be the highlight of the day
for some. You may enjoy travelling to
a tourist destination recommended
by your friends. Reignite the flicker-
ing romance in your life by spending
more time together.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
Your stars favour a bright beautiful
day . A setback you have recently
experienced can make you come out
stronger. Tax advisor will be a big
help in saving taxes, so don’t hesitate
to contact one. It is difficult for the
relationship of friends turned lovers
to fall apart, so relax. Try to tackle
difficult situations with patience.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Settling down in a new house is
indicated for some. Money put
together on previous occasions is
likely to come in handy now. A family
youngster is keen to learn from you,
so don’t disappoint. You may have to
awaken partner’s interest in you once
again. Try being patient as you may
face some ups and downs
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
You will derive great benefit from
an exercise routine that you keenly
follow. Extra workload is foreseen at
work but nothing you cannot handle
within office hours. Taking a family or
personal trip may seem impossible due
to due professional commitments. So
postpone it for some other day. Health
would be satisfactory.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
Good earning opportunities come to
you. Help from co-workers in a time
consuming task will be forthcoming
on the work front. Support of family
will encourage you to take up a chal-
lenge. Socially, your presence will be
much looked forward. You should
make good use of today’s clear com-
munication channels.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
Something you have implemented at
work is likely to profit the company
and get you noticed. You are likely to
celebrate the achievement of a family
youngster in a grand way. Shifting
into your very own house may soon
become a reality. If you can’t see how
to solve the problem alone, why not
discuss it with your friends?
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Previous investments are likely to
give you good returns. Some of you
may decide to follow in the footsteps
of celebrities and visit the very same
exotic destination that they had
been to. No amount of excuses will
dispel lover’s suspicions about your
tendency to stray the path. Try to
maintain a positive attitude.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Money coming from various streams
will keep you in an elated state of
mind. A new fitness regime that you
have adopted promises to keep you
in the pink of health. Getting an old
furniture upholstered may be at the
top of the mind of some homemak-
ers. Your search for perfect partner
may soon be over.

only by shining a light on
someone else that you can
truly under- stand
yourself. It is an Illuminat-
ing and touching father-
daughter story about mem-
ory
, childhood and secrets.
“When it comes to mem-
ory there are three catego-
ries – things I want to for-
get, things I can’t forget
and things I’d forgotten I
forgot until I remember
them.” Memory is what
makes us individuals. It
shapes our personality. It
has the power to change
our emotional state in the
blink of an eye. Many of us
are haunted by memories
that we’d give everything
to erase and
all of us have memories we
turn to when we need to go
back to those moments
when we were truly happy
.
Imagine the loss when we
lose this capability!!!
Fergus Boggs suffered a
stroke and has dementia.
His memory “ebbs and
flows like the waves of the
Irish sea”. He is in an Old-
Age Care Home. Sabrina,
his daughter, visits him
regularly and genuinely
cares for him. As a mother
of three sons, she is more
than busy. Her job in a
Care-Centre, as a swim-
ming pool lifeguard, is bor-
ing and her marriage isn’t
as happy anymore as it
used to be. She cannot un-
derstand herself or her
problems and feels lost.
Sabrina gets a phone call
fromherfather’srehabilita-
tion centre to look up some
cartons which have been
delivered as his old belong-
ings. Since she has a rare
day off (her husband has
taken the three boys on a
camp outing to watch the

lously segregated, de-

memories, stories and peo-
ple she never knew existed.
“Sometimes it’s the people
closest to us that we
know the least”. A
day that changes her and
those around her forever...!
This novel spans both-
one day and a whole life-
time. It’s told from alternat-
ing perspectives- both in
the first person. Fergus’s
chapters are always titled
“Playing with Marbles”
then the name of either a
sort of marble or the game
that is mentioned in the
chapter. Sabrina’s are titled
“Pool Rules” which relates
to her love of water, swim-
ming and her job as a life-
guard. Fergus’s story starts
with him being a sad and
scared five-year-old boy
, re-
ceiving his first marbles.
“Allies. I like that. It makes
me feel like a soldier.” He
has a complex childhood
background- one of seven
rowdy boys- with an absent
mother and a harsh stepfa-
ther. He finds solace in his
secret world of marbles-
keeping his passion to him-

kick-started on
May 17 with an

first Country of Honour
at Marche du Cinema this year.
While actor Deepika Padukone is on
the jury duty this year, Aishwarya
Rai Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
Urvashi Rautela, Masoom Minawa-
la, Tamannaah Bhatia and Pooja

the Indian delegation.
Bollywood’s blue-eyed beauty
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked
the red carpet and looked
breathtakingly beautiful in
Gaurav Gupta’s design and
did her signature pose at
the festival.
Deepika once again
left everyone in awe with
her blazing red Louis Vuit-
ton gown with a plunging
neckline. For accessories, the
actress went the minimal way
as she adorned a statement
diamond neckpiece alone.
Hina Khan has sported a
magnificent off-shoulder and
flared lavender gown.
Urvashi Rautela made a
jaw dropping entry as she
looked no less than snow-
white in her enchanting
white dress. However, hear-
ing the price of her gown
will keep you up at night.
Meanwhile, Masoom
Minawala grabbed attention
with her bright pink mono-
tone pink Valentino ensem-

beautiful pink sleeveless
gown and looked divine.
While walking on the red
carpet, she also flashed her
million-dollar smile. Ta-
mannaah has managed to
impress us all as she went
for an all-black glittery,
dramatic look that just
suited her too much. She
wore a bling body-hugging
gown with a stunning
cape to complete the
look. Overall, her
look gave us boss
lady vibes and we
just love it.

T
he film is a horror-com-
edy and is a franchise
of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa
released in 2007. The
story of the film is about an
accidental, yet destined meet
up between two strangers Ru-
haan (Kartik Aaryan) and
Reet ( Kiara Advani) who
end up visiting Reet’s
home town in Rajasthan
which is haunted by the spir-
it of Manjulika (Tabu). Fate
leads them to open up an
old secret due to which all
hell breaks loose lead-
ing to one lie, leading to
a whole pile of lies
which sends Ruhaan
and Reet on a scary
rollercoaster ride.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
is a fresh story and it
holds its ground. An-
ees Bazmee has not
just resorted to jump-
ing scares to make it fit
the horror genre but
there are actual mo-
ments of ‘ghostly
encounters’ that
take you by sur-
prise. The director
has mastered the art
of comedy so well that
he can make you crack
up in a jiffy
.
Kartik does jus-
tice to his character and it
seems that the character was
written keeping in mind only
and only Kartik Aaryan. He
gets every chance to show his
acting, dancing skills and com-
ic timing in the film. Kiara is
sweet and simple as Reet and
looks gorgeous in each frame.
Not that it’s some drastically
different role that she hasn’t
done in the past. Tabu, stand
out strong in the entire film
playing the character of the
spirit of Manjulika and the
caring bhabi of the family An-
julika. Tabu leaves a mark in
every scene she appears.
Among other supporting
casts, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay
Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar
andRajeshSharmabringsome
hilarious moments. Milind Gu-
nanji and Amar Upadhyay have
essential parts but in very lim-
ited screen time.
Overall the film is
good and the best
part is it does not
let you miss the
Bhool Bhulaiya
of 2007. The indi-
viduality of the
film stands out
and it will not
be fair on our
part to com-
pare it with
Bhool Bhu-
laiya star-
ring Akshay
Kumar. The
film is a
gush of
freshness.
