Rajini kanth Making New Waves Again With Kabali

The expectations are sky-high when Rajinikanth is out with a film and Kabali is no exception. The fan mania around the film is unbelievable and producer Kalaipuli S Dhanu is guarding his film with utmost attention.

However, first it was alleged that Kabali released on Dark Web and now a scene, said to be Rajinikanth’s introduction in Kabali leaked on Whatsapp and Facebook. On Thursday morning, the day when Kabali released in the US, a Kabali review also landed online. A man named Balaji Srinivisan posted the review on Facebook in the morning and the search, Balaji Srinivasan Kabali, on the social media site soared. Almost 30,000 people have searched for it already.
However, the man himself took the review off his page but it was already getting shared. IndianExpress.com cannot independently verify the review but here it is reproduced as it goes viral on social media.

Balaji Srinivasan’s Kabali – The Review

Thanks to bay area cine industry friends, I got to watch a preview show of Kabali. I went in with no expectations and came out with mixed feelings. Kabali is paisa vasool for Rajinikanth fans while others can have equal fun mocking the aged superstar go through his paces.

Not just a holiday by few start-up companies, but the Kabali mania has even taken big brands like Airtel and Air Asia. Whereas Air Asia made a Kabali offer to its flyers with special Rajinikanth class, Airtel partnered with the movie to launch a series of services and products to promote the movie. Similarly, various radio stations have begun offering Kabali tickets to their listeners. It appears as if nobody in the southern parts of India is untouched from this fever as the number of SMS’ sent by the users to the radio stations has crossed one million.

In fact an online petition has been filed which has requested the chief minister of Tamil Nadu to declare a state holiday owing to the release of Kabali movie.

7th Pay Commission- A grand bonanza to government employees and pensioners

Giving a grand bonanza to government employees and pensioners, finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday said that the government has accepted the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission. "Government by and large accepts recommendations of 7th pay panel," Jaitley said.


With the implementation of the 7th pay panel, government salaries are now distinctively higher than the private sector. Therefore, there should not be any more complaints or protests, Jaitley said at the press conference.

Earlier in the day, the Union Cabinet had approved the panel's recommendations with minor changes.


The hike in basic salaries, which will benefit around one crore government employees and pensioners, will be implemented retroactively, from January 1, 2016 and the arrears will be paid this year. While the salaries and allowances will rise by at least 23.5 per cent, the entry-level pay will increase from Rs 7,000 to Rs 18,000.


The pay panel has estimated that the implementation of its recommendations could result in an additional burden of Rs. 1.02 lakh crore to the exchequer.

"Among the beneficiaries include 47 lakh government employees and 53 lakh pensioners. Out of this there will be 14 lakh serving defence personnel and 18 lakh pensioners among the defence personnel," Jaitley said.


The pay panel had in November last year recommended 14.27 per cent hike in basic pay at junior levels, the lowest in 70 years. The previous 6th Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.


One of the key changes suggested by the pay commission has been the 'New Pay Structure', under which the existing system of pay bands and grade pay will be ejected and a new pay matrix will be brought in to bring about more transparency.

The First Cutoff for Admissions in Delhi University: Cutoffs high, BCom soars at Ramjas College

The first cutoffs for admissions to Delhi University colleges, released late Wednesday night, held few surprises except for a slight a drop in marks for BCom and BCom (H) at some places. Cutoffpercentages in many subjects, including popular ones such as economics, remained largely unchanged.

However, there were notable exceptions, such as Ramjas College releasing a BCom (H) cutoff of 99.25%, the highest in the university this year. Also, minimum scores for Hindi and BA programme saw a sharp rise in some colleges.

Across DU colleges, authorities struggles to upload the cutoffs onto the online system despite a training session at South Campus of the technical staff on Wednesday.

 

For two of the varsity's most popular undergraduate programmes - commerce and economics - the cutoff seem to have plateaued. These remained the same in many colleges including Lady Shri Ram, Zakir Husain Delhi College and Kirori Mal College. At others, these cutoffs may have increased marginally. At Janki Devi Memorial and Ramanujan, commerce cutoffs have even dropped.

More surprisingly there was steep rise in Hindi cutoffs at many colleges, including JDMC (eight percentage points), Ramanujan (five) and SGND Khalsa (eight), with the highest of 15 percentage points at Gargi. "The demand has increased due to expansion in Hindi media, both print, television and online," Shashi Tyagi, principal, Gargi College.

Even with the plateauing in some subjects, cutoffs remained high as ever. Colleges such as Miranda House have five courses with over 97% cutoff, while at Hindu College, eight of its subjects have cutoffs over 97%. In science courses, the increase is more conspicuous in biology and related subjects. For the physical sciences, cutoffs remained the same at many colleges and even dropped at some.

Admissions for the first cutoff list would commence from Thursday and will continue till Saturday. Candidates will be allowed to pay fees till the noon of July 3. The second cutoff will be announced on July 5 at 9 am.

But colleges struggled till late evening to get their cutoffs to the university. First, colleges had to wait for the application data to arrive before culling the relevant parts from the huge mass of information. "They gave us data for all subjects, even ones we don't teach. We had to filter all that for our subjects. Parallelly, we had to also work on payment gateways for our sites," says Anju Srivastava, principal, Hindu College.
