The fuss over the new Rashmika Mandanna film is baffling. She's only playing a woman who wants some rather ordinary things
When Rahul Ravindran's new Telugu film, The Girlfriend, was released earlier this month, the online chatter made it seem explosively provocative.
"It's feminist propaganda", "Himmat hai to apne girlfriend ke saath dekho (Watch it with your girlfriend if you have the guts)" and "No sense, just pure feminist emotion" were some of the comments online.
Imagine my surprise when I watched it and discovered that Rashmika Mandanna, who headlines the film, doesn't play a virago on a manhunt. Her Bhooma is a wholesome young woman without even the shock value of the recently released Bad Girl, Varsha Bharath's impressive directorial debut.

Fly me to the moon...
It wasn't easy, bringing the stars indoors. The world's first planetarium opened 100 years ago, in Germany. It used the grainy imagery of the time, but elicited gasps nonetheless. Today, planetariums invite viewers to zoom through galaxies, tour clouds of asteroids, view meteors as they approach. And, a new future looms: explorations of tech, biology, even the human body - on domes so large and crystal-clear, they're helping astrophysicists learn about space

Rising graph of BJP and absent hand of Congress
After the National Democratic Alliance's unbelievable victory in Bihar and the Mahagathbandhan's shattering defeat, there are two questions that stare us in the face - why do the BJP and Narendra Modi keep winning? Why do the Congress and Rahul Gandhi keep losing? These are not easy questions to answer, but, equally, they are important questions to ask. So, let me offer a series of issues that seek to explore these questions.

Not a G2 reboot, but possibly a G2 overlay
For India, a US-China détente carries significant implications. New Delhi must sharpen diplomatic signalling and make it clear to partners and rivals alike that it values open regional architectures, not spheres carved by others
