The Delhi government has taken strict measures to combat pollution and smog in the city by implementing GRAP Stage III, which includes a ban on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles. This comes as part of India's efforts to adopt Bharat Stage VI emission norms by 2020 and reduce air pollutants by 80%. The move aims to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for the citizens of Delhi.
The highly-anticipated trailer for Thangalaan, starring Vikram and directed by Pa Ranjith, was finally released. With the promise of a visually stunning cinematic experience, the trailer showcases themes of oppression and resistance within a historical context. Ranjith, known for his hard-hitting socio-political dramas, seems to have outdone himself with this ambitious project. Despite facing multiple delays, Thangalaan is expected to be a box office success and sweep major awards upon its release on August 15, perfectly coinciding with India's Independence Day. Its release date was finalized after the postponement of Pushpa 2, which had originally reserved the holiday for its release.
