1. 1)There are many ways in which an actor's salary can be
paid. They can receive them either as an advance or
can sacrifice the salary to receive a portion of the
movie's earnings. X, who was set to receive $7 million
under the original deal, decided to go with the latter
option for the film Y which became a huge success in
the long run. To be specific, Y earned $678.2 million
worldwide, which meant X reportedly received over $60
million.
Id X and Y.

3. 2)The annual mango meet at X is open to a select group
of mango lovers, and brings in 100-120 participants from

served following which a meeting is held under a
mango tree to discuss and interact. Lunch is an all-
mango affair with over 10 different dishes. This includes
payasam, ice cream and pudding made from
mangoes. A special kanji made of kuthari (boiled rice),
green gram, boiled vegetables, coconut and ghee is
served.
This July 22, National mango day, X was in the news for

5. 3)"The director first approached me through
a common friend. He believed that this song
and the film itself resonates with a lot that I
have been saying and writing and that I
should consider singing it. I read the lyrics of
X and loved it. Santhosh Narayanan was
kind enough to send me the track which I
found haunting; it kept playing in my head,
on loop! After a few weeks, we recorded the
song late in the night at his studio. Having
the voices of A,B and C as part of the song is
truly an honour.“
Whose statement?
Id X,A,B and C.

Created by Dhruv Jain,X is a platform game that
entertainingly educates players about periods and
the challenges faced by menstruating women.
X is an initiative by Y, a campaign to spread period
positivity, creatively engages with everyone to
promote menstrual health and raise awareness.
By defeating „monsters‟ like „Mood Swings‟ and
„Cramps‟, the protagonist of the game moves
forward, symbolising how a woman conquers period
symptoms every month. The game has collectibles
such as a book, a soap dispenser, and various
period products strategically placed in each level;
collecting these informs players about the current
deplorable state of awareness, hygiene, and access
to menstrual products and metaphorically
empowers them to bring a change.
Id X and Y.

9. 5) When X approached Y to compose the
music for his film, he said—“I know you from
your mimicry days and out of affection I am
warning you to not make this film. The
common man will not be able to decipher
this. It will be a huge flop.” Finally, X had to
seek the help of his younger brother, singer Z
to convince him to take it up.
However, the film performed well at the box
office and became the highest-grossing
Malayalam film ever, to that date. Which
Film?
Also Id X, and the brothers Y and Z.

11. 6)It was acknowledged by the author that
X is "a novel in parts" and indeed seems
more adept at stringing together a
collection of short stories. In the novel, five
women are on a long journey which helps
them in discovering themselves. The
narrative technique that has so effectively
been used in Panchatantra stories, The
Odyssey, Thousand and one night stories
and of course by none other than
Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales.

15. 8)K.J. Baby's play, X was staged in streets with
no clear distinction between the stage and
audience. First played in 1978, It exposes the
misery and oppression faced by the tribal
communities for a long time. X was conceived
on the magical ritualistic performance 'Y'
existed among them, which was believed to
purify them by exorcising the evil spirit that
haunted them.
Here, Y is used to symbolise the revolutionary
impulse that happened to drive out the evil
spirit of ignorance, of the slavery that
oppressed them throughout their lives.

bus she was riding collided with a streetcar. She
suffered near-fatal injuries and was bedridden for
months. During her recovery, she had a special
easel attached to her bed so she could practice
painting techniques. When she set to work, she
began to paint the world according to her own
singular vision. She painted friends and family, still
lives and spiritual scenes but it was her
mesmerizing self portraits that first caught the
world's attention.

role of X. The film also bagged two Academy
awards.
