SPIRIT OF MUMBAI

Soham Rockstar Entertainment’s action thriller, Dhaakad, is all set to create new benchmarks in cinema. The film headlined by Kangana Ranaut is a never-seen-before action extravaganza that’s headlined by a top female star.  The makers planned an event that mirrored the scale of the movie. The event saw Kangana’s entry in a chopper at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse Grounds after which the actress drove straight to PVR Icon, Phoenix Mall in Lower Parel. If the film’s teaser broke the internet, the trailer only ups the ante and the audience can expect a homegrown action flick that matches the standards set by international movies. While Kangana’s performance anchors the film, its strong ensemble, comprising Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta, Saswata Chatterjee among others, makes the film soar to greater heights.  Kangana Ranaut said, “It has been a long-standing dream of mine to take up challenging parts and be part of movies that change the norm. Dhaakad is one such film. I enjoyed playin...

 ~ The Spaniard returns as head coach after spending two trophy-laden seasons at the club ~ FC Goa's appointment of former club icon Carlos Pena as the head coach heading into the new season seems to have been a shot in the arm for the morale of their fans following a disappointing ISL campaign which saw the Gaurs miss out on the playoffs only for the second time in eight years. Pena takes over the reins at FC Goa just two years after bringing down the curtain on his playing career after spending his last two seasons as a Gaur - both of which brought him silverware at the Club.  In Pena, the FC Goa fans found a leader on and off the pitch - his presence in the backline bringing a sense of calm to the proceedings. And fans are looking forward to ushering back the good times with his return to their Club.  “It’s always an exciting story to hear a former player taking charge of the club and taking it to glory, and here with Peña at the club it’s not different. I have heard a...
