‘LAC: Battle of Galwan' director on facing CBFC roadblocks: They asked us to remove the photos of the 20 real-life martyrs
Recently, the upcoming movie 'Battle of Galwan' starring Salman Khan made news with the release of its teaser. The movie has been the talk of the town ever since; however, did you know that there is another movie made on the same subject, which was quietly released on YouTube owing to multiple CBFC cuts and suggestions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The movie we are talking about is 'LAC: Battle of Galwan,' which has been written and directed by Nitin Kumar Gupta. Starring Rahul Roy, the movie presents a fictional version of the 2020 battle between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh. The movie was initially planned to be released on June 15, 2023, on the anniversary of the Galwan Valley conflict. 'I wanted the martyrs' families to see the film in theatres," said the director, according to a Mid-Day report. He further highlighted that the film faced significant challenges during its process with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Filmed in November 2020, it was presented to the CBFC in June 2022. Subsequently, it was screened in August for the Additional Directorate General of Public Information committee from the Ministry of Defence, and then again for the CBFC. In September 2022, the board recommended several modifications. 'They asked me to remove LAC from the title, delete references to the actual location, and reduce violence by 33 per cent — essentially asking us to dilute the reality of hand-to-hand combat our soldiers faced," Gupta revaled before adding, 'The most painful was when they asked us to remove the photos of the 20 real-life martyrs from the end credits.' He mentioned that the photos they used were already in the public domain, released by the government with their names. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Despite taking several precautions, which included changing martyrs' names and avoiding direct reference to China. A revised version was sent in September 2022, but there was no reply. Nitin said he tried knocking on every door for three years. Salman Khan's upcoming film, 'Battle of Galwan,' is generating buzz after the release of its intense first look, which showcases a bloodied Salman. While much of the cast remains a mystery, it's now confirmed that Chitrangda Singh will join him as the female lead, highlighting a new on-screen pairing.

Detective Ujjwalan Review: Dhyan Sreenivasan starrer is a wannabe mystery that couldn't solve itself
Detective Ujjwalan, starring Dhyan Sreenivasan in the lead role, released in theaters on May 23, 2025. Following its theatrical run, the film is now available for streaming on Netflix. If you haven't watched the Malayalam-language mystery comedy yet, here's the Pinkvilla review for you to check out. The Plot Detective Ujjwalan features the story of Ujjwalan, a library owner who lives off his family's generational wealth. Apart from managing the library, he is an avid reader of mystery novels and crime movies. His interest in solving crimes leaves the locals of his village, Plaachikkaavu, to rely on him for figuring out petty thefts. However, his life faces a drastic change when a murder takes place in the village. Will Ujjwalan capture the culprit and who is responsible for the crime forms the rest of the story. The Good Detective Ujjwalan first works on the charm of the lead actors, not just Dhyan, but performers like Siju Wilson and Rony David Raj who hold the film together with their skills. The film, despite its poor screenplay and lack of execution in directing, features some colorful characters, sadly, they are severely underutilized. The interesting characterization leaves a mark with its quirkiness, making it watchable. From the technical aspects, Detective Ujjwalan is visually sound, with a special mention to Premkrishna Akkattu and Sraiyanti Harichandran. The Bad Detective Ujjwalan suffers severely from writing and direction. For most murder mysteries, the important factor is to have a sound screenplay with attention to detail, but the film is nowhere near being considered 'good writing'. Starting the story with a good concept, the movie remains inconsistent and fails to tie in the elements. The lack of conviction in making this murder mystery plausible is annoying at various points. What truly turns this film into a cinematic debacle is its forced attempt to establish a shared universe with Tovino Thomas' Minnal Murali, a move that feels completely out of place. In the contemporary situation of cinema, shared cinematic universes have reached a saturation point, and honestly, everyone is feeling fatigued. Coming to the technicalities, the musical aspects by Rzee and Sibi Mathew Alex are passable in the film. However, the lazy writing, coupled with Chaman Chakko's editing, makes the audience yawn. The Performances Detective Ujjwalan is surely a good concept on paper. But the directing is not up to par. The actors, however, made it a watchable venture. While Dhyan Sreenivasan and Siju Wilson were good, others like Kottayam Nazeer and Rony David Raj stood out with their comic timing. Furthermore, social media content creators like Ameen, Nihal Nizam, Nibraz Noushad, and Shahubas offer some great moments, but are nerfed by cutting their characters short, leaving out the possibility for more humor. Watch the trailer of Detective Ujjwalan here: The Verdict Detective Ujjwalan isn't exactly a murder mystery that makes you question the truth, but it feels more like a comical venture with shallow humor. Some elements and characters make the movie watchable and it could be checked out at least once.

You won't believe what Kangana Ranaut said about politics, calls it...
Bollywood actress and MP from Mandi Lok Sabha seat of Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, is in the news these days for her strange statements. Recently, the actress forced people to think by saying that people are coming to her with problems of drains and roads. Kangana was severely criticized after this statement. Now Kangana has dropped a new bomb with her statement. The actress has now called politics an 'expensive hobby'. She has also said that it costs lakhs and there is little savings.

In her recent interview, Kangana said, 'I have always said that politics is an expensive hobby. ' When the actress was questioned about the word 'hobby', she said, 'Obviously, because when you are an MP, you cannot take it as a profession, because it requires a job. You are an honest person, I understand. After the salary, you get to keep the cook and the driver, you are left with only 50 to 60 thousand rupees and this is the salary of an MP. The monthly salary of an MP in the country is Rs 1 lakh 24 thousand. If you have to go with an employee or officer, then it costs lakhs to go by car, because the distance of the journey is 300 to 400 km, so it is an expensive hobby, you also need a job in it'. 'Many MPs Have Their Own Business' She further said, 'There are many MPs who have their own businesses. They are also working as lawyers. Those who came before me, like Javed Akhtar sahab, are also still working in the film industry'. Let us tell you, in her personal details, while contesting the general elections in the year 2024, the actress said that her assets are worth Rs 91.5 crore, which includes movable assets worth Rs 28.7 crore and immovable assets worth Rs 62.9 crore. More About Kangana Ranaut On the work front, Kangana recently graced the screen in the historical biographical drama 'Emergency', which she directed and co-produced herself. The film is based on a screenplay crafted by Ritesh Shah and a narrative penned by Ranaut. In this cinematic piece, Kangana Ranaut portrayed the character of Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India, alongside a talented cast that includes Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, and Vishak Nair.
