Hindu groups are up in arms against X-Men: Apocalypse, in which the main villain calls himself an incarnation of Krishna.

The next edition of the X-Men franchise, which is due in May 2016, released its trailer four days ago.
 
The movie deals with Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant, who had been worshipped as god since the dawn of civilization. As he awakens, he is disappointed with humans and builds a mutant army to wipe them out.

In the trailer, Apocalypse introduces himself saying: I have been called many things over many lifetimes—Ra, Krishna, Yahweh.


The movie is about how Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) and Professor X (James McAvoy) lead a team of X-Men to stop Apocalypse.

Hindu groups have objected to portrayal of Krishnaas a mutant.  Apocalypse is shown as a blue-coloured figure, the same colour with which Krishnais portrayed in Hindu mythologies.

A US-based Hindu leader Rajan Zed released a statement on Tuesday saying trivialization of Lord Krishna was quite inappropriate and disturbing to the devotees.



He also asked director Bryan Singer to delete all the references to Lord Krishna from the trailer and the final movie.

Response from Hindu groups to X-Men Apocalpyse


Comparing Lord Krishna with villain Apocalypse in the “X-Men: Apocalypse” trailer was highly inappropriate. We urge deleting all references to Lord Krishna unless based on scriptures.

December 15, 2015, NewsCrunch

Union Minister and senior BJP leader Ravishankar Prasad attacked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for insulting PM Modi by calling him a coward. Speaking to media, in both Hindi and English, Ravishankar Prasad demanded that Kejriwal apologise for that.

Kejriwal had called Modi a coward and a psychopath on Tuesday morning alleging that he was behind the CBI raid on his office.

As NDTV senior journalist Vikram Chandra pointed out, in his televised response Ravishankar Prasad had objected to only the coward part of the insult and made no reference to the bit on psychopath.

So, does it ­mean Ravishankar Prasad is ok with Kejriwal calling Modi a psychopath?

A fun video on how well Bollywood is known outside India reveals a strange insight on Prime Minister Modi.

The anchor gives a pop quiz to a group of foreigners to test their Bollywood knowledge. He shows them a picture of Modi in a blazer and sunglasses and asks them to guess what role he plays in Bollywood movies.

It is a trick question to see if the foreigners recognise Modi or really believe that he is a Bollywood actor.

They fall for the question and say Modi is a Bollywood actor, who could be playing mafia boss or a drug lord or an evil father.

He looks like a ''bad dad'' as one of the women, who is interviewed says.

There is no good news for Bollywood either. Most of the people interviewed say they have not seen any Indian film or know about any star.

The video,  an Asian Boss production, is fun to watch.

Asha Devi, the mother of the December 16 gangrape victim, spelt out India's best kept saddest secret - the name of the young girl whose death continues to torture  the nation.

It's not Nirbhaya. It's Jyoti Singh.

Paying homage to her daughter at Jantar Mantar, Asha Devi said her daughter's name was Jyoti Singh and that she was not ashamed to name her.

"Those who commit heinous crimes like rape should be shamed, not the victims or their families. You should take her name too," she added.

It is for  the first time anyone has mentioned Jyoti Singh's name in public.

The 23-year-old paramedical student was sexually assaulted on the night of December 16 three years ago, and died 13 days later.

As Indian law prevents naming the victims of rape, Indian media started addressing her as Nirbhaya or brave heart.

Asha Devi was addressing the audience at 'Nirbhaya Chetna Diwas' a public event organised by citizens groups at the Jantar Mantar.

She also demanded that the juvenile convict, who is scheduled to be released on December 20, should not be released.

Enthiran 2's hunt for villain stops with Akshay Kumar replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger - 5 things to know about India's most expensive movie

Enthiran 2 will be the most expensive Indian movie ever made. Pic tweeted by Akshay Kumar

December 17, 2015, NewsCrunch

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was in Chennai on Wednesday to meet Rajinikanth and other team members of Enthiran 2.

Though there were rumours that he was being cast as the villain in the movie, he refused to comment on that. But after getting back to Mumbai, he tweeted a photo saying he was ending 2015 on a high note with Robot 2, which is the Hindi name of Enthiran 2.

Here are the five things to know about Enthiran 2 and Akshay Kumar's role in that.

1) Akshay Kumar reportedly replaces Arnold Schwarzenegger as the villain. It is not clear why talks with him broke down. Some say at Rs 100 crore fee Arnie was making the movie too expensive and some say he had certain existing contractual obligations, which came in the way.

The next choice was Aamir Khan, who showed interest, but backed out later. Reasons not clear.

2) Enthiran 2 will be the most expensive Indian movie ever made. Director Shankar thinks big and spends lavishly. With Baahubali setting the new production quality benchmark, you can expect the best of special effects, technicians and settings. Mary E Vogt of Men in Black fame will design special costumes. The movie is being shot in 3D format.

3) Rajinikanth plays the lead along with Amy Jackson, who may also play a robot. AR Rahman will compose the film's music and Nirav Shah will roll the camera.

4) The movie hit the floor on Wednesday. The first shot was canned between 9.30 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. Lyca productions cancelled a grand launch for it due to flooding in Chennai.

5) Enthiran 1 released in 2010 with Rajinikanth and Aishwarya in lead. It was a huge hit and grossed over Rs 250 crore.

Quoting sources in the know Mid Day said Katrina Kaif has told her friends that she needs to spend a few days with Ranbir Kapoor urgently to see where their relationship is going.

Over the last few years the couple has been spending their New Year in New York after a Christmas break in London with Katrina Kaif 's family.

Gossip has it that Ranbir Kapoor, despite being in his mid-30s, is still not mature enough to shoulder the responsibility of a married life. While Katrina Kaif is said to be unrealistic in her expectations and also not sure if Ranbir Kapoor would stay committed for life.

Ranbir Kapoor also clarified that Katrina Kaif  called his father Rishi Ji not Papa.

It also took several hours, almost the entire night to retrieve Ravi Subramaniam's body,
which stayed stuck in the engine.

December 17, 2015, NewsCrunch

The body of Air Indiatechnician Ravi Subramanian was so badly mutilated it could not be sent for post mortem examination.


Ravi Subramanian was sucked by an engine of Airbus A 319 in a nightmarish accident on Wednesday in Mumbai. The aircraft was being towed when its engines were started by a co-pilot.

It also took several hours, almost the entire night to retrieve the body, which stayed stuck in the engine. The accident occurred at bay 28 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji airport around 8.40 pm.

Giving details of the accident NDTVsaid Ravi Subramanian was at the spot with a helper, who was also close to the engine and had a narrow escape. He sat down instantly once the aircraft started unexpectedly moving and managed to save his life.


But Ravi Subramanian, who was standing with his back to the aircraft and was wearing a headset, died instantly.

The ground staff had violated standard operating procedures and failed to place wedges to stop wheels from moving when aircraft's engines were started.

There was also lack of proper coordination between the pilots and ground staff. The co-pilot, who started the engine without waiting for clearance signals from the engineer, has been grounded along with the pilot.

Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is probing the accident.
