Based on the Muthanga incident
'Narivetta' is an intense action drama based on the 2003 Muthanga incident, a real-life protest led by the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha (AGMS). The protest was sparked by the government's delay in distributing land that had been promised to the Adivasis back in 2001. The demonstration turned tragic when police opened fire, discharging 18 rounds and resulting in two immediate deaths, including a police officer.

Bronny James raises eyebrows with comment on GF Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures as he skips Luka Doncic event (Image Credit:) On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed $165 million, 3-year contract with Luka Doncic. Top executives like GM Rob Pelinka, coach JJ Reddick, and a few Lakers players were at the press conference Luka attended after the confirmation. But Bronny James and his father, LeBron James, were conspicuously absent from the event, giving way to another round of speculations around their position in the team. On the personal front, Bronny showered love on her girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. He posted a two-word comment on her latest pictures after calling her 'my girlfriend' previously. Though spotted rarely with Parker, Bronny's engagement with his girlfriend's Instagram posts has deepened for quite some time, fueling rumors around their relationship. Bronny James draws criticism for giving Luka Doncic signing announcement event a miss Both James duo members, LeBron James and Bronny James, conspicuously missed Luka Doncic's press conference, which was to follow the Los Angeles Lakers' announcement of his three-year contract extension worth $165 million. NBA veteran Dan Patrick, on his talk show, called out Bronny for missing the event. He said: 'The one person who I thought should have been there was his son. Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that's your teammate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton's Daring Outfit Took Prince William's Breath Away Crowdy Fan Undo Bronny James should have been there. You're the last guy on the roster. You should be there.' Dan Patrick's comments were mentioned by NBA Central's tweet. The tweet read: 'Dan Patrick criticizes Bronny James for not attending Luka Dončić's press conference "Bronny James should've been there. You're the last guy on the roster, you should be there."' As per his opinion, Bronny requires more attendance at the team's events like these, should he want to learn more about the NBA environment firsthand. If he plans to stay with the Lakers for long, such events should be taken seriously by newcomers to the NBA, Patrick thought. Since the reports about the possible trades of LeBron James and Bronny James are swirling over time, the absence of the James duo ignites a fresh spark of speculation around their status on the team. Meanwhile, Bronny showed his loyalty on another unexpected platform, and it had something to do with his private life. Bronny James comments on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures Though Bronny James could not make it to Luka Doncic's event, he managed to drop a loving comment on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. Bronny commented, 'Muy Bonita' on the latest phot dump of Parker. Parker gave a glimpse into her vacation time she is enjoying at a scenic location. It drew endearing comments from her supporters and friends, with Bronny James taking the lead. His comment showed that the Los Angeles Lakers rising star is taking a deep interest in his girlfriend's whereabouts. Though they are not spotted together offline often, Bronny is seen actively engaging with his girlfriend's Instagram updates in recent times. Previously, he sort of confirmed his relationship status by writing, 'My girlfriend', on Parker's pictures. Why Bronny James and LeBron James gave a miss to Luka Doncic's event and where Bronny's relationship with Parker Whitefield heads in the coming times are the two important questions looming over every James' duo loyal fans. Only official statements from the two can clear the air on these matters.
