Three weeks later, while leaving for Chennai at the airport, Thenmozhi gets a free upgrade to first class. During the flight, she starts vomiting due to overeating, but she feels better with the help of her co-passenger, Sathyadev, and she develops a crush on him. The next day in Chennai, Sathyadev and Thenmozhi meet at a cafe. Victor Manoharan, a notorious gangster, arrives with his gang to abduct Thenmozhi, but Sathya's intervention causes Victor and his men to retreat.<br /> <br /> In 1989, Sathya's father gets killed by a gangster, after which the 14-year-old Sathya makes a decision. In 2002, Sathya is seen in prison with Victor, where he fights along with Victor in a botched attempt to kill the latter. They escape jail, and Sathya arranges Victor's marriage to his love interest, Elizabeth &quot;Lisa&quot;. Sathya and Victor meet Matthew, an illegal organ dealer, and Sathya infiltrates the gang, revealing himself as an [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] of the [[Tamil Nadu Police|T.N.P.D]] Crime Branch. Sathya kills Matthew and engages in combat with Victor, where Sathya brutally wounds Victor, who swears vengeance on Sathya.<br /> <br /> Two years later, in an attempt to nab a gangster at [[Egmore Railway Station]], Sathya helps a pregnant woman named Hemanika, who immediately needs to get to a hospital for delivery. Two years later, Sathya meets Hemanika and her child Isha again. After meeting and getting to know each other over 3 years, they plan to get married. On the eve of their marriage, Hemanika is brutally murdered, which leaves Sathya heartbroken, but Isha is saved as she was with him that night. Sathya meets and kills his adversary, ''Golden'' Raj and his men but was severely injured. He also know that Raj didn't killed Hemanika. Sathya hides the fact from Isha by telling her that Hemanika had left somewhere far away and that she wanted him to take care of her. Sathya decides to quit his job and travels with Isha around India, with his colleague [[Deputy Commissioner of Police|DCP]] Richard's help.<br /> <br /> Sathya returns to Chennai after 4 years, where he learns that his friend Saravanan's 15-year-old daughter Niranjana has gone missing. He discovers that Victor has resurfaced and is [[Organ theft|stealing organs]] illegally with foreign doctors to earn millions. Victor is trying to save his wealthy customer Muruganandham, who needs a [[heart transplant]]. Sathya finds the child and eventually the organ theft network's next target, Thenmozhi. Sathya is reinstated in the police department and leaves for [[Boston]].<br /> <br /> In the present, Sathya lets Thenmozhi stay in their house with Isha. In an attempt to get Thenmozhi, Victor and his team kidnap Isha, who is held captive by Lisa. Victor tells Sathya that he will release Isha only if he surrenders Thenmozhi, which Sathya accepts. When they arrive at the location, they kill Muruganandham. Sathya finds Thenmozhi's location and leaves to locate Isha, who is held at knifepoint by Lisa and attempts to stab Isha, which makes Sathya shoot and kill Lisa, leaving Victor heartbroken.<br /> <br /> Victor sneaks into Sathya's house, kills all the officers positioned in Sathya's house, and reveals himself as Hemanika's killer. The duo engages in a bloody fight, where Sathya mortally wounds Victor in the same way Hemanika was killed. Sathya drags a wounded Victor outside and leaves his colleagues to kill him. Isha and Thenmozhi plan out the former's birthday. Thenmozhi promises to be with Isha throughout the day. Before taking Isha home, Sathya reminds Thenmozhi of the pending coffee that Thenmozhi wants to have with Sathya, indicating that Sathya is ready to move on with Thenmozhi.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> {{Cast listing|<br /> * [[Ajith Kumar]] as [[Deputy commissioner of police (India)|DCP]] Sathyadev [[Indian Police Service|IPS]]<br /> * [[Arun Vijay]] as Victor Manoharan <br /> * [[Trisha (actress)|Trisha Krishnan]] as Hemanika<br /> * [[Anushka Shetty]] as Thenmozhi<br /> * [[Parvathy Nair]] as Elizabeth &quot;Lisa&quot;<br /> * [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]] as &quot;Revolver&quot; Richard [[Indian Police Service|IPS]], DCP, Intelligence<br /> * [[Anikha Surendran]] as Isha, Sathyadev and Hemanika's daughter<br /> * [[Ashish Vidyarthi]] as Golden Raj<br /> * [[Suman (actor)|Suman]] as Muruganandham<br /> * [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] as Sathyadev's father <br /> * [[Avinash Yelandur|Avinash]] as Hemanika's father<br /> * [[R.

In the Mizo traditional system, a [[given name]] is specifically gender-based and the whole name is single-worded ([[mononym|mononymic]]).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book |last=Pachuau |first=Joy L.K. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YseEEAAAQBAJ&amp;q=The+Routledge+Companion+to+Northeast+India |title=The Routledge Companion to Northeast India |date=2022-09-30 |publisher=Taylor &amp; Francis |isbn=978-1-000-63699-4 |editor-last=Wouters |editor-first=Jelle J.

As the story goes, when the soldiers tried to enter the sanctum, supernatural events occurred — the hill trembled, dust storms rose, and a swarm of [[Bee|bees]] attacked the intruders.

One day he notices Goldman talking about his son's wedding cards to people in the mosque where he prays and learns that his son is getting married and Goldman is breaking his security protocol to attend that. The same is confirmed by an [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] operative who works part-time as Goldman's bodyguard and is a neighbor and friend of Wali, though he doesn't know the truth about Wali's connections to Indian intelligence. Sensing a chance to nab Goldman alive, he informs Ashwini about the same who assembles a team quickly: an ex-Indian Army officer and mercenary, Rudra Pratap Singh, RAW's explosives expert, Zoya Rehman, and Aslam, a [[Mumbai]] thief and murderer who was given a chance at freedom by participating in this mission.<br /> <br /> On the day of the wedding, Wali sees his wife and son off at the airport, as they are to fly to [[London]]. Wali goes home and stages his family's death in the hopes that the ISI will not put them in harm's way and he can join them after the mission is accomplished. However, all flights to [[Europe]] are cancelled, stranding Wali's wife and son at the airport. When Wali's wife calls up Wali, his phone is switched off, and she learns her house is on fire. Disturbed and upset about not being able to locate Wali, she informs the airport security about the same. The airport security personnel run a check to see and discover that three bodies have been recovered. Suspicious at the coverup, he summons the ISI. The ISI, while questioning Nafisa and her son Kabir, notices Kabir holding pencils that belong to the same hotel where Goldman's son is about to get married. When asked, Kabir informs him that the pencils were given to him by Wali a few days ago. Realizing that Wali is an operative out to get Goldman, ISI alerts their counterparts at the wedding. As a result, Wali, Rudra, Zoya, and Aslam's plan to capture Goldman is in jeopardy. Goldman escapes unscathed, and the four agents have to go into hiding. Embarrassed at the failure of their operation, the Indian government disavows the four agents; only Ashwini stands by them, but he is forced to resign. Aslam is captured and tortured by Goldman's nephew when he tries to escape through the Karachi docks. He is rescued by Rudra, who was trying to take revenge on Goldman's nephew for murdering Rudra's lover, Suraiya, a Pakistani prostitute. Upon hearing that Wali's wife has died and that his son is in ISI custody, the four agents decide to find a way to complete their mission, despite the government having abandoned them.<br /> <br /> The ISI decides that Goldman is too much of a liability to continue protecting further, so they decide to kill him. Before they can, the four RAW agents take out the ISI and take Goldman hostage. Wali notifies Ashwini, who works to find them a safe route out of Pakistan. Goldman taunts Wali by telling him that his wife and son are actually still alive and that he can arrange their reunion. Wali is torn between accepting Goldman's help and completing his mission, to the point where he shoots Rudra to take control of the group. Ashwini asks them to be at Checkpost 35 before 6 AM. At the same time, Wali arranges a meeting with ISI, proposing an exchange of Goldman for his wife and child. After tying Rudra up and disarming Zoya, Wali leaves with Goldman. Zoya then frees Rudra, and they follow Wali.<br /> <br /> Wali drives to Checkpost 40 but is shot dead by Pakistani forces, who, unbeknownst to Wali, have poisoned and killed his wife and son. As Wali's car is examined, it is revealed that Wali did not actually bring Goldman with him; he had apparently anticipated the Pakistani betrayal and had left Goldman in the car that Zoya and Rudra had taken. Through flashbacks, it is revealed that this was a plan hatched by Wali and Rudra in order to get Goldman to cooperate and give Rudra and Zoya time to get Goldman across the border to India. The Pakistani forces give Rudra and Zoya a chase and barely miss them before they bring Goldman over the border, where Ashwini is waiting. Once across, Goldman taunts them by saying how nothing has changed in India and he will be released soon and will be able to continue his criminal activities. Rudra shoots Goldman in the left arm and right leg, pulls off his glares, and shoots in the head, indicating that he is the face of the &quot;New India.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> * [[Irrfan Khan]] as RAW Agent Wali Khan&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title=Meet the fearless foursome of D- Day|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Meet-the-fearless-foursome-of-D-Day/articleshow/20204507.cms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130627061025/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-05-23/news-interviews/39474432_1_indian-army-goldman-death-wish|url-status=live|archive-date=27 June 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]| date=23 May 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> * [[Arjun Rampal]] as Rudra Pratap Singh, a suspended army officer, working as a mercenary<br /> * [[Rishi Kapoor]] as Iqbal Seth Aka Goldman (a character based on [[Dawood Ibrahim]])<br /> * [[Huma Qureshi]] as Zoya Rehman, an explosives expert&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/huma-qureshi-as-immigration-officer-in-dday/1019101|title=Huma Qureshi as immigration officer in 'D-Day'|work=indianexpress.com|access-date=3 March 2013|archive-date=12 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130712083459/http://www.indianexpress.com/news/huma-qureshi-as-immigration-officer-in-dday/1019101|url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[Shruti Haasan]] as Suraiya, a Pakistani prostitute<br /> * [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] as Chief of RAW Ashwini Rao<br /> * [[Shriswara]] as Nafisa Khan, Wali Khan's wife<br /> * [[Sandeep Kulkarni]] as Anup Mishra<br /> * [[KK Raina]] as [[General officer|General]] Raza<br /> * [[Chandan Roy Sanyal]] as Goldman's nephew<br /> * Aakash Dahiya as Aslam<br /> * Dwij Handa as Kabir Khan, Wali Khan's son<br /> * [[Imran Hasnee]] as Saleem Pathan<br /> * Nissar Khan as Niyaaz Ahmed<br /> * Chetan Motiwala in a special appearance as a guest in the wedding<br /> * Anil Maggu as Pakistani politician<br /> * Kanika Dang as Fatima<br /> * Karan as Goldman's son<br /> * [[Rashmi (actress)|Rashmi]] as Goldman's son's bride<br /> * [[Rajpal Yadav]] as a Sufi singer in a friendly appearance<br /> * Jehangir Karkaria as father-in-law<br /> * [[Manish Khanna]] as Sharyar Bhatti<br /> * Ashwini Dhar as Khurram Mirza<br /> * [[Praveena Deshpande]] as Sumitra, Ashwini Rao's wife<br /> * [[Niranjan Iyengar]] as Mosque care-taker<br /> *[[Savi Sidhu]] as K.S.

After praying to Lord [[Kartikeya|Murugan]], he gets a son. He shows all the love he suppressed these years and loves him unconditionally. One day, his son asks him to take him to the planet where [[Siddhar]]s live, so Karkimuki takes him there. Accidentally, his son enters a deep burrow to hide from his father, where he disturbs a Siddhar's thavam that has been continuing for thousand years. The angry Siddhar wakes up and curses Karkimuki. He says he will send Karkimuki to Earth as a statue until someone releases him. The person who releases him has to say a mandaram for Karkimuki to return to the Genie World within 48 days, or he will perish in the air.<br /> <br /> Thirunavukarusu (Thiru) is an ordinary kid who has a [[stammering]] problem after an accident that killed his dad. Because of this, he gets [[bullying|bullied]] in school by his classmates and the teachers who do not allow him to read out loud due to his stammering problem. Even the shopkeeper is impatient to listen to what Thiru wants to buy, so he asks him to write down whatever he wants. His mother does not listen either but loves him dearly.<br /> <br /> One day on a school trip, a dog chases Thiru and he falls into a ditch, where he finds a doll and releases Karkimuki. Karkimuki calls Thiru as Deivam and scares Thiru. Karkimuki follows Thiru home, only for Thiru to realise only he can see the genie. Eventually, they become friends, and Thiru plays a joke on everyone who used to make fun of him. He asks all his wishes to Karkimuni and has fun. When the teacher announces an inter-school speaking contest, Thiru wishes to participate but gets scared because of his stammer. He asks Karkimuki to get rid of stammer, and Karkimuni agrees. He starts speaking at the contest only to start stammering again.<br /> <br /> Thiru gets upset and cries on the stage, wetting his pants. His mum is helpless and comforts him. Thiru does not go to school for the next few days and decides to stay home. Thiru shouts at Karkimuki for tricking him, and Karkimuki apologises, saying genies have some rules they must never break, such as never bringing someone from the dead, never stopping time and never curing problems related to the mind. Karkimuki says Thiru has a problem related to his mind and not a health condition. Thiru tells Karkimuki never to speak to him again. During a robbery, Karkimuki saves Thiru's mum, so they become friends again. Karkimuki encourages him to ignore everyone and to go to school, so he decides to go but promises his mum he will never do anything without telling his mum first.<br /> <br /> At school, there is another contest, and Thiru manages to win first prize, shocking everyone who underestimates him. He hides this from his mum since he thinks she will get mad at him. Thiru asks Karkimuki what he wants, and Karkimuki tells him everything that happened, bringing tears to Thiru. Thiru assures Karkimuki that he will say the mandaram and reunite him with his son. Day after day, he practices the mandaram but struggles. One day, as he is practising, his mum catches him and asks him what it is. He runs away, but she hits him and asks him. Watching this, Karkimuki reveals himself to her, and she gets scared. Karkimuki decides to go away as Thiru's mum is afraid. Later, Thiru shouts at his mum for sending the genie somewhere distant as he was the only person who patiently listened to him, and no one else listened to him, including her.<br /> <br /> He runs up to the terrace to find Karkimuki slowly fading away. Thiru cries and gets angry when saying the mandaram. He finally manages to recite the mandaram, and it opens a portal for Karkimuki to go back to the genie world. As he is about to leave, a kite string out of nowhere flies across and slits the throat of Thiru's mum, thus killing her. Karkimuki watches as Thiru cries over his dead mum and decides to bring her back to life, which causes Karkimuki to die as he has disobeyed his rules. Thiru and his mum hugs in tears while Karkimuki vanishes, dancing happily. A final scene shows Thiru speaking in a contest without stammering.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> *[[Prabhu Deva]] as Karkimuki the [[genie]]<br /> *[[Ashwanth Ashokkumar]] as Thirunavukarasu (Thiru)<br /> *[[Remya Nambeesan]] as Thiru's Mother<br /> *Shakthi Rithvik as Thiru's friend<br /> *Saathvik as Thiru's friend<br /> *Master Param Guganesh as Thiru's friend<br /> *Aazhiya as Thiru's friend<br /> *[[Samyuktha Shanmuganathan]] as Thiru's Teacher<br /> *[[Imman Annachi]] as Shop Owner <br /> *[[Swaminathan]] as Thirunavukarasu's Relative<br /> *[[Suresh Chandra Menon]] as Doctor<br /> *[[V.

and would be nominated for Best Motion Picture along with 7 other nominations at the [[Canadian Screen Awards]].&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Themes ==<br /> Many of Mehta's films across her career have focused on the duality of her national and cultural identity which has informed much of her filmmaking as she has been described as the &quot;quintessential transnational filmmaker&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=The Gendered Screen: Canadian Women Filmmakers|last=Stojanova|first=Christina|publisher=Wilfrid Laurier University Press|year=2010|location=Waterloo|pages=217–232}}&lt;/ref&gt; With her childhood and heritage informing her of key Indian and Hindu traditions, she has been seen to compare these practices with a more &quot;Westernized&quot; philosophy that has often resulted in controversy.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; The production of her film ''Water'' was delayed by protests from Hindu fundamentalists whilst several of her other films releases have seen boycotts across India, including the film ''Fire.''&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mehta's [[Elements trilogy|''Elements'' trilogy]] notably explores themes of the emergence of new identities, particularly in the context of independence. In ''[[Fire (1996 film)|Fire]]'', the older character Radha's sense of agency and empowerment increases as she becomes sexually liberated through the younger character Sita.&lt;ref name=&quot;Fire 1998&quot;&gt;''Fire'', directed by Deepa Mehta (1996; Toronto, Canada: Zeitgeist Films, 1998), Stream.&lt;/ref&gt; Professor Subeshini Moodley discusses how these women employ their bodies to cross boundaries &amp; borders, stating how “their bodies being the marginal spaces that they occupy, these protagonists don’t always begin as women with agency, but grow and develop to that point. Their marginal spaces are first defined in order to show how they later redefine and transcend its boundaries”.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Moodley|first=Subeshini|date=2003|title=Postcolonial Feminisms Speaking through an 'Accented' Cinema: The Construction of Indian Women in the Films of Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4548098|journal=Agenda: Empowering Women for Gender Equity|issue=58|pages=68|jstor=4548098|issn=1013-0950}}&lt;/ref&gt; Put otherwise, by allowing themselves to explore their sexuality with each other, these women are breaking free of the restrictive confines of the traditional female Indian archetype that used to define their value (such as traits of virtue &amp; obedience), and instead are reclaiming their power by transgressing the boundaries of their culture.&lt;ref name=&quot;Fire 1998&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Another way in which ''Fire'' exemplifies the emergence of modern female identities is through its deliberate defiance of patriarchal structures through religious &amp; cultural symbolism. The protagonists’ names of Radha and Sita are direct references to the heroines of the traditional Hindu epic, Ramayana, in which the characters Radha and Sita represent contrasting elements of feminine virtue; Radha embodying the playful adventuress and Sita being the dutiful and dedicated wife.&lt;ref name=&quot;Burton 7&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Burton|first=David|date=2 October 2013|title=Fire, Water and The Goddess: The Films of Deepa Mehta and Satyajit Ray as Critiques of Hindu Patriarchy|url=https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss2/3|journal=Journal of Religion &amp; Film|volume=17|issue=2|pages=7|issn=1092-1311}}&lt;/ref&gt; However, Mehta switches the defining characteristics of these characters for her film, making Radha the obedient matriarch and Sita the inquisitive newlywed. This is important to note when discussing a key scene in the film in which after Ashok learns of his wife’s affair with Sita, Radha’s sari catches fire from the kitchen stove and she nearly becomes engulfed in flames.&lt;ref name=&quot;Fire 1998&quot;/&gt; This is a clear allusion to a sequence from the Ramayana in which Sita is forced to prove her purity for her husband Rama by walking through a fire.&lt;ref name=&quot;Burton 7&quot;/&gt; Dr. David Burton discusses how Mehta’s film subverts the traditional symbolism of the religious epic through its reversed meaning; in Fire, Radha survives the fire not to represent her purity for her husband, but rather to “assert her freedom from patriarchal control and traditional notions of sexual purity”, once again conveying how the film effectively depicts the inception of modernity in the female realm.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Burton|first=David|date=2 October 2013|title=Fire, Water and The Goddess: The Films of Deepa Mehta and Satyajit Ray as Critiques of Hindu Patriarchy|url=https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss2/3|journal=Journal of Religion &amp; Film|volume=17|issue=2|pages=8|issn=1092-1311}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> As previously mentioned, Mehta based ''[[Earth (1998 film)|Earth]]'' on Pakistani author [[Bapsi Sidhwa|Bapsi Sidwha]]'s acclaimed 1988 novel ''[[Cracking India|Ice Candy Man]]'', which employs a young Parsi girl from a wealthy family as its protagonist.&lt;ref name=&quot;Qureshi 81&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Qureshi|first=Bilal|date=1 June 2017|title=ElsewhereThe Discomforting Legacy of Deepa Mehta's Earth|url=https://online.ucpress.edu/fq/article/70/4/77/110012/ElsewhereThe-Discomforting-Legacy-of-Deepa-Mehta-s|journal=Film Quarterly|language=en|volume=70|issue=4|pages=81|doi=10.1525/fq.2017.70.4.77|issn=0015-1386|url-access=subscription}}&lt;/ref&gt; Mehta's decision to maintain such a privileged protagonist is noteworthy; in one scene, Lenny’s mother attempts to explain to her daughter the role which Parsis play in the movement for India’s independence, in which she compares Parsis in India to sugar in milk: “sweet but invisible”.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReferenceA&quot;&gt;''Earth'', directed by Deepa Mehta (1999; Canada: Jhamu Sughand), Stream.&lt;/ref&gt; While this takes on a negative connotation within the film, in a larger historical context, Lenny’s observation further supports Mehta’s decision to have the film’s protagonist taken on by a figure of such religious, cultural and ethnic ambivalence. The main goal of Lenny’s wealthy Parsi family is to stay neutral during the political tensions of Partition, and her astute renouncement of her family’s invisibility only reinforces this. Furthermore, “the fact that Lenny is neither Hindu nor Muslim [frees] the narrative from a divisive communal dichotomy”.&lt;ref name=&quot;Qureshi 81&quot;/&gt; Lenny’s whole world is encompassed by her relationship with her Hindu nanny, her nanny’s adoration from two Muslim men, and their diverse friend group. When the conflict of Partition tears the group apart, Lenny’s whole world is simultaneously destroyed, and her humanist perspective allows for an unbiased portrayal of the negative effects which a fear of change and breaking tradition can inflict upon a society’s health.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReferenceA&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Mehta's last film in the ''Elements'' trilogy, ''[[Water (2005 film)|Water]]'', showcases the gross oppression endured by Indian women during precolonial times. It also depicts the mistreatment of widows to present strong support for the breaking of traditional social norms and an embrace of contemporary identities for Indian women. One example of this can be seen through the Hindu male hegemony’s reliance upon the authority of Hindu scriptures to rationalize the mistreatment of widows.&lt;ref name=&quot;Burton 3&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Burton|first=David|date=2 October 2013|title=Fire, Water and The Goddess: The Films of Deepa Mehta and Satyajit Ray as Critiques of Hindu Patriarchy|url=https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss2/3|journal=Journal of Religion &amp; Film|volume=17|issue=2|pages=3|issn=1092-1311}}&lt;/ref&gt; In ''Water'', when Narayan’s father is revealed to be a former client of Kalyani, he attempts to justify his sexual exploits to his son by using his class privilege, stating that Brahmins can sleep with whomever they want as the women they sleep with are blessed.&lt;ref&gt;''Water'', directed by Deepa Mehta (2005; Canada: David Hamilton Productions), Stream.&lt;/ref&gt; Narayan’s response that Brahmins who interpret the Holy Scripture for their own benefit should not be honored elucidates the immense hypocrisy which underlines various ancient religious ideologies that are often employed solely by the caste of men who seek to benefit from such outdated customs.&lt;ref&gt;Mathew P. John, ''Film as Cultural Artifact: Religious Criticism of World Cinema''. (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2017), 104.&lt;/ref&gt; Burton also points out how such selfish reworkings of religious ideologies is the real killer of faith, instead of Mehta’s sensational films. He states, “Reformers… who often view the negative aspects of their religion as misreading's and cultural accretions are themselves in danger of essentializing Hinduism insofar as they imply that the version of Hinduism of which they approve is the only genuine one”.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last=Burton|first=David|date=2 October 2013|title=Fire, Water and The Goddess: The Films of Deepa Mehta and Satyajit Ray as Critiques of Hindu Patriarchy|url=https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol17/iss2/3|journal=Journal of Religion &amp; Film|volume=17|issue=2|pages=10|issn=1092-1311}}&lt;/ref&gt; In other words, the insistence to uphold such outdated structures of patriarchal hegemony simply on the basis of religiosity is in itself more blasphemous and sacrilegious than any sin outlined by ancient scriptures. However, there are certain elements of Water that allude to the positivity of embracing modernity. For example, Chaya's eventual rescue by Shakuntala and potentially happy future with Narayan presents the promise of Gandhi-influenced reform within Indian society.&lt;ref name=&quot;Burton 3&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Mehta often uses her films to explore the impacts of cultural and political unrest on the lives of normal citizens, stating, &quot;A driving force in the stories I want to tell is definitely curiosity. I was intrigued by sectarian war. I’m appalled by it. I was immensely curious about how it affects the everywoman and everyman.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Qureshi 80&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Personal life==<br /> In India, she met and married filmmaker [[Paul Saltzman]] whom she divorced in 1983.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}} The couple have a daughter, [[Devyani Saltzman]], an author, curator and cultural critic.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}}<br /> <br /> Mehta is currently married to producer [[David Hamilton (Canadian producer)|David Hamilton]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url= http://in.rediff.com/movies/2007/feb/23dev.htm |title= Deepa Mehta is rightly being celebrated |date= 23 February 2007 |access-date=4 January 2010|work=[[Rediff.com]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Her brother, [[Dilip Mehta]], is a photojournalist and film director.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}} He directed ''[[Cooking with Stella]]'', which he co-wrote with Deepa.&lt;ref name=ma&gt;[[#Be|Beard. p 270]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Mehta participated in a TV PSA for the charity Artists Against Racism, and is a member of the organization.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web | url=http://artistsagainstracism.org/tv/ | title=TV – Artists Against Racism | access-date=18 June 2018 | archive-date=28 February 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220228060940/https://artistsagainstracism.org/tv/ | url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Filmography ==<br /> ===Documentary film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+<br /> !Year<br /> !Title<br /> !Director<br /> !Writer<br /> !Producer<br /> !Notes<br /> |-<br /> | 1973<br /> | ''St. Demetrius Rides a Red Horse'' <br /> | {{No}}<br /> | {{Yes|Narration}}<br /> | {{No}}<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> | 1986<br /> | ''K.Y.T.E.S: How We Dream Ourselves''<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | <br /> |-<br /> | 2006<br /> | ''Let's Talk About It''<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | Direct-to-video<br /> |-<br /> | 2008<br /> | ''[[The Forgotten Woman]]''<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{yes|Executive}}<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> | 2016<br /> | ''[[Mostly Sunny]]''<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{no}}<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> | 2023<br /> | ''[[I Am Sirat]]''<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{No}}<br /> | {{No}}<br /> | Co-directed with Sirat Taneja<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Documentary shorts'''<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+<br /> !Year<br /> !Title<br /> !Director<br /> !Producer<br /> |-<br /> | 1975<br /> | ''[[At 99: A Portrait of Louise Tandy Murch]]''<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{no}}<br /> |-<br /> | 2016<br /> | ''Fantassút''<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Narrative film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+<br /> !Year<br /> !Title<br /> !Director<br /> !Writer<br /> !Producer<br /> !Notes<br /> |-<br /> | 1973<br /> | ''The Perlmutar Story'' <br /> | {{No}}<br /> | {{Yes}}<br /> | {{No}}<br /> | Short film<br /> |-<br /> | 1988<br /> | ''[[Martha, Ruth and Edie]]''<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | {{no}}<br /> | {{yes}}<br /> | Anthology film co-directed with [[Norma Bailey]] and [[Danièle J.

Anand gets injured in this attack but saves both money as well as Rai. So Rai takes him to his home for medical care &amp; slowly Anand becomes familiar with Rai's family while recuperating. Seeing his good behavior and sincere trust for his family, Rai starts trusting Anand and appoints him as a Chief Supervisor in his fruit juice export factory. Rakesh is at loggerheads with Anand due to one of their road fights earlier. One day, Anand uses fisticuffs to convince Rai Sahab's business rival named Girdhari to let go of encroachment on Rai's property. Rai and his family get so impressed by this that they promote him to the Manager post. One day, Rakesh comes to the factory demanding money but Anand being the custodian refuses. Rakesh gets infuriated and lays a trap for Anand in swindling of 2 Lakhs of office cash. But his plan is exposed and this provokes Rai Sahab to ask Rakesh to leave his family also, Rai Sahab secretly makes his will, naming Anand as the sole heir to his property. What the Rai family does not know is that Anand works for villain Girdhari and enacted this charade just to get in the good books of the Rai family - his motive was to steal a diamond-studded statue passed down family generations to Rai Sahab and is estimate-valued in crores. Though a change of heart happens Anand being blackmailed by Girdhari tries to steal the statue. During this robbery in progress, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Rai caught him red-handed and shocked Rai Sahab gets a heart attack and dies. Now all family members distrust Anand and ask him to leave the city.<br /> <br /> Distraught &amp; guilty Anand, preparing to leave is stopped by his lover, Shanno, who suggests that the family might need his help as Rakesh has now returned to the house and taken control. Rakesh and Girdhari both try to usurp Rai Sahab's property but Anand and Shanno foil all their evil plans.<br /> <br /> Towards the end, Rakesh realizes his mistakes. Shobha and the family accept Rakesh and Anand as genuinely their own and everything is sorted out for a pleasant ending.<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> *[[Jeetendra]] as Anand<br /> *[[Neetu Singh]] as Shanno <br /> *[[Madan Puri]] as Girdhari<br /> *[[Sujit Kumar]] as Khan (Bank Manager)<br /> *[[Nirupa Roy]] as Shobha Rai<br /> *[[Om Shivpuri]] as Mr. Rai<br /> *[[Mukri]] as Diwan Chhotelal<br /> *[[Dheeraj Kumar]] as Rakesh Rai<br /> *[[Brahm Bhardwaj]] as Rai's Lawyer<br /> *[[Birbal]] as Gambler<br /> *[[Mumtaz Begum (actress)|Mumtaz Begum]] as Shanno's Mother<br /> *[[Master Raju]] as Raju Rai<br /> *[[Leena Das]] as Item Dancer<br /> <br /> ==Soundtrack==<br /> Lyricist: [[Ravindra Jain]]<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !

He was the first [[captain (cricket)|captain]] of the [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan cricket team]] and one of only three players to have played [[Test cricket]] for both [[India cricket team|India]] and Pakistan.&lt;ref name=GoogleDoodle/&gt; Known as &quot;The Skipper,&quot; Kardar led the Pakistan cricket team in its first 23 Test matches, spanning from 1952 to 1958, and later became the nation's foremost cricket administrator.<br /> <br /> Widely regarded as the father figure of Pakistan cricket, Kardar received the ''[[Pride of Performance]]'' Award from the [[Government of Pakistan]] in 1958.&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20160423145540/http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/sport/article155685.ece The top 10 Pakistan Test cricketers] The Sunday Times (London newspaper), Retrieved 21 June 2019&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;PSB&quot; /&gt; In addition to his cricketing achievements, he served as a member of the [[Provincial Assembly of the Punjab]] and held the position of Punjab Minister for Food under the Bhutto government.&lt;ref name=&quot;Independent&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Early career==<br /> Kardar was born in 1925 into a prominent Kardar [[Arain]] family in [[Lahore]], [[Punjab region|Punjab]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url-access=subscription |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/0/750/750.html |title=Player Profile: Abdul Kardar |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=15 April 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt; He was educated at [[Islamia College, Lahore]], and [[University College, Oxford]]. Kardar played domestic cricket for various teams, including [[Oxford University cricket team|Oxford University]], [[Northern India]], and [[Muslims cricket team|Muslims]]. He was one of the few players of his generation to have represented [[India]] in Tests against [[England cricket team|England]] before the partition and, following the independence of India and Pakistan, went on to represent [[Pakistan]].&lt;ref name=Independent/&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1952–53, Kardar was appointed captain of the Pakistan team for its first official Test series, a tour of India. Leading his team against [[Lala Amarnath]]'s Indian team, Kardar's men faced defeats in [[Delhi]] and [[Bombay]], with India winning the series. However, Pakistan secured its first-ever Test victory in the second match, held in [[Lucknow]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Independent&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Kardar was a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler. In [[first-class cricket]], he scored 6,832 runs at an average of 29.83 and took 344 wickets at an average of 24.55. He represented the Pakistan team from 1948 to 1952, during the years before Pakistan was granted Test status. Kardar also played for [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club|Warwickshire]] and [[Combined Services (Pakistan) cricket team|Pakistan Services]] in domestic cricket.&lt;ref name=&quot;ESPN&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Pakistan's captain==<br /> Kardar captained [[Pakistan]] against all the Test-playing nations of his time, achieving the remarkable distinction of leading his team to victory against each of them—a notable accomplishment for a newly established cricketing nation. One of his most famous victories was the series-levelling win against England at [[The Oval]] in 1954. Another historic achievement came in 1957 when Pakistan secured their first Test victory against Australia, in [[Karachi]].<br /> <br /> Despite Kardar's aggressive, motivated, and confident leadership, Pakistan's team was still immature, inexperienced, and developing their cricketing skills, which limited their ability to win series consistently. The attitude of the players faced criticism during the [[India national cricket team|Indian cricket team's]] first tour of Pakistan in 1954–55, where all five Tests ended in draws. Political tensions and the bloody legacy of independence created an atmosphere where both teams feared losing, hindering competitive cricket.<br /> <br /> Under Kardar's captaincy, Pakistan played a total of 23 Tests, winning six, losing six, and drawing eleven. Although his leadership style was often dictatorial, and he was quick to anger—especially at criticism—Kardar was a visionary who advocated for the use of neutral umpires in cricket.&lt;ref name=&quot;ESPN&quot;&gt;[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/41030.html Profile of Abdul Hafeez Kardar on espncricinfo.com website] Retrieved 21 June 2019&lt;/ref&gt; Kardar retired from international Test cricket in 1958.&lt;ref name=&quot;ESPN&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Later career==<br /> Kardar was a strong supporter of [[Mohammad Ali Jinnah]] and a firm believer in the idea of Muslim glory in India.

[[Dodgeball]]'s fast-paced nature and emphasis on teamwork have made it a popular choice for physical education programs and physical education curricula.{{fact|date=January 2026}}It is particularly popular in states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu.{{fact|date=January 2026}} Bounce dodgeball is also played in India.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=Dodgeball Trampoline Park - BOUNCE Inc |url=https://www.bounceinc.in/dodgeball/ |website=Bounce India |access-date=1 September 2024}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Governing bodies==<br /> There are two organisations that oversee dodgeball in India, the India Dodgeball Federation (affiliated with the [[World Dodgeball Federation]]) and the Dodgeball Federation of India (affiliated with the [[World Dodgeball Association]]).{{fact|date=January 2026}}<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Dodgeball is considered as a traditional game in India.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=Dodgeball – Traditional Games Federation of India |url=https://www.traditionalgamesindia.com/games-list/dodgeball/ | website = traditionalgamesindia.com |access-date=1 September 2024}}&lt;/ref&gt; The origins of dodgeball in India can be traced back to traditional games like [[Maram Pitti]], also known as Picchi Banti in Telugu, which is similar to dodgeball and played with a rubber or tennis ball. A variation of the game is played called &quot;Sekan-tadi&quot; (सेकन-तड़ी). This is slang used for &quot;slamming the hip.&quot; Another name is Gend Tadi (எறி பந்து).

India turned out to rebound from the loss by winning its next two series in the [[Indian cricket team in the West Indies in 1970–71|West Indies]] and [[Indian cricket team in England in 1971|England]]; they were its first series wins in those countries. Because Australia were scheduled for a [[Australian cricket team in South Africa in 1969–70|tour to South Africa]] immediately after this series, they flew straight to South Africa for a four Test series without returning home.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==Further reading==<br /> * [[Mihir Bose]], ''A History of Indian Cricket'', Andre-Deutsch, 1990<br /> * [[Ramachandra Guha]], ''[[A Corner of a Foreign Field: The Indian History of a British Sport]]'', [[Picador India]], 2001<br /> * ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]] 1971''<br /> <br /> ==External sources==<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20070321150229/http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/SL/1969-70_SL_Australia_in_Ceylon_1969-70.html Ceylon itinerary]<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20070321033551/http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Seasons/IND/1969-70_IND_Australia_in_India_1969-70.html India itinerary]<br /> {{International cricket tours of India}}<br /> {{International cricket tours of Sri Lanka}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Australian cricket team in Ceylon and India in 1969-70}}<br /> [[Category:1969 in Australian cricket]]<br /> [[Category:1969 in Ceylon]]<br /> [[Category:1969 in Indian cricket]]<br /> [[Category:1970 in Australian cricket]]<br /> [[Category:1970 in Ceylon]]<br /> [[Category:1970 in Indian cricket]]<br /> [[Category:Australian cricket tours of India|1969-70]]<br /> [[Category:Australian cricket tours of Sri Lanka|1969-70]]<br /> [[Category:Indian cricket seasons from 1945–46 to 1969–70]]<br /> [[Category:International cricket competitions from 1960–61 to 1970]]<br /> [[Category:Sri Lankan cricket seasons from 1880–81 to 1971–72]]</div>
