Kriti Sanon questions a women’s freedom in the country on India’s Independence Day in this heartfelt note

This year, India woke up to a series of heart wrenching notes on August 15, as several people including many celebrities questioned the safety of women in the country. The Kolkata rape and murder case has sparked a nationwide revolution with people taking to the streets and demanding justice for the victim as well as for all the women in the country. While some celebs shared Independence Day wishes, many of them like Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana questioned the workplace safety of women and joining them is also Kriti Sanon.

Kriti Sanon pens a note questioning women’s safety and security in the country

The Crew actress took to social media to share a heartfelt note on Thursday evening wherein she expressed pride over the several developments in the country but also questioned why women don’t feel safe and secure in their own country. She captioned the post explaining why she did not feel like wishing her followers on this occasion as she said, “Heavy heart and angry soul ?? Aaj wish karne ka mann nahi kiya (I did not feel like wishing today)..”

The note, which featured the background of the Tiranga (Tricolor of the Indian National Flag) read, “While we celebrate our 78th year of Independence and feel proud on how far we’ve come as a country globally.. it breaks my heart to see the terrifying reality that women are still not Safe in their own country. There is absolutely no fear in the people who commit these inhumane acts. And even today, its the woman being blamed for being a victim!!!”

The note further stated, “Unless there is faster justice, severe punishments and more importantly better upbringing, nothing is gonna change. Are we really FREE when our basic safety is in question??”

What is the Kolkata rape and murder case?

A medical trainee was allegedly raped and murdered in the seminar hall of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. While the Kolkata police took over the investigation after the body was found lying in the hall the next morning, their investigation has not progressed satisfactorily. It has now led to the CBI taking over the case. Meanwhile, doctors in Kolkata have questioned their safety and have taken to the streets to protest against the lackadaisical attitude of the college authorities. In the recent development, the doctors have announced a 24-hour strike as a part of this protest.

Sushant Singh Rajput case: Mumbai court acquits Australian national in drug probe

Sushant Singh Rajput case: Mumbai court acquits Australian national in drug probe

A Mumbai court has discharged Australian national Paul Bartels from a drug case linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The decision comes as a significant development in the ongoing investigations surrounding the high-profile case.

Insufficient Evidence Leads to Acquittal
As per a report by PTI, Bartels, a friend of Agisilaos Demetriades, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in November 2020 as part of its probe into alleged drug use within Bollywood. However, after a thorough examination of the case, Special Judge Mahesh Jadhav found insufficient evidence to link Bartels to the drug-related offenses.

The court’s order, released recently, highlighted the fact that the primary basis for Bartels’ arrest was the statements of co-accused individuals, which are not considered admissible evidence unless corroborated by independent material. Since no such evidence was presented, the court concluded that there were no grounds to proceed with the case against Bartels.
Ongoing Investigations
It is important to note that this development does not impact the overall investigation into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continues to probe the circumstances surrounding the actor’s demise, which was initially reported as suicide.

The drug angle of the case, which gained significant media attention, has seen several arrests and developments. For the unversed, SSR was found hanging in his apartment in Bandra on June 14, 2020. The CBI is probing the case of his alleged suicide.

Stree 2’s mid-night shows added in Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Delhi 

The horror-comedy sequel, Stree 2, has taken the box office by storm, with its release on Independence Day. The film, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has not only opened to a phenomenal response but has also shattered a long-standing box office record.

Midnight Madness Pays Off
In an unprecedented move, additional midnight shows for Stree 2 were added in major cities like Mumbai, Thane, Pune, and Delhi just a day after its release. The response to these shows has been nothing short of electric, contributing significantly to the film’s overall opening-day collection.

According to early estimates, Stree 2 has raked in a staggering Rs. 42 to 44 crores on its first day. When combined with the paid previews that garnered Rs. 8.50 crore, the film’s total opening day collection stands at a monumental Rs. 52.50 crores.
Breaking Records
This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it surpasses the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express. The 2013 blockbuster had created waves by conducting paid preview shows a day before its official release, amassing Rs. 6.75 crores. Stree 2 has not only eclipsed this record but has done so by a considerable margin.

The film’s success can be attributed to several factors, including strong word-of-mouth, a loyal fan base, and the effective marketing campaign. Additionally, the decision to introduce midnight shows has proven to be a masterstroke, as it capitalised on the audience’s enthusiasm for the film.

With its impressive opening, Stree 2 has positioned itself as one of the biggest hits of the year. The film’s box office journey is sure to be closely watched by industry insiders and fans alike.
