Andhra Police killed the accused Acid Attackers S. Srinivas Rao, 25, the main accufor sed, and his friends P.Harikrishna, 24, and B. Sanjay, 22,who attacked on two KITS students Swapnika and Praneetha.

Praneetha (21) sustained severe burns.Swapnika almost lost his eye-sight.She is getting treatment at Yashoda Hospital in Secunderbad.Doctors said Swapnika’s carnia is in critical condition.

They were killed near Warangal town, about 150 km from here, when the police said they opened fire in self-defence.

The incident took place at Mamonoor on the outskirts of Warangal town a few hours after the three were arrested.

The accused, who had been taken to the place to gather evidence, allegedly tried to attack the policemen with a country-made weapon and acid they had buried in the isolated location, an official said.

Warangal Superintendent of Police V.C. Sajannar told reporters that a police team had taken the accused to the place where they had hidden the stolen motorbike and acid bottle used in the attack.

Mumbai Gunman Azam Amir Kasab’s Father says “Those who took away my son are my enemies”

 

The Lashkar-e-Taiyba and the Jamaat-ud-Dawa might have disowned him, but the father of the lone Pakistani gunman arrested for the Mumbai terror attacks has admitted that the young man whose photograph was beamed by media across the world, is his son.

Amir Kasab, the father of Ajmal Amir Iman alias Ajmal Kasab, broke down as he made the admission to the influential Dawn newspaper in the courtyard of his house in Faridkot, a village of about 2,500 people in Okara district of Punjab province.

“I was in denial for the first couple of days, saying to myself it could not have been my son… Now I have accepted it. This is the truth. I have seen the picture in the newspaper. This is my son,” Amir said in his first interview to the media since his son’s arrest.

Britain’s Observer newspaper and the BBC had earlier reported that Kasab belonged to Faridkot and had joined the Lashker-e-Tayiba some time ago.

The Observer‘s correspondent had located Kasab’s home and gotten hold of the voters’ roll which had the names of his parents Amir Kasab and Noor as well as the numbers on their national identity cards.

Reports had said that Kasab left home as a frustrated teenager about four years ago and went to Lahore in search of a job. After a brush with crime in that city, he reportedly joined the LeT.

Amir Kasab, a father of three sons and two daughters, said his son disappeared from home four years ago. “He had asked me for new clothes on Eid that I couldn’t provide him. He got angry and left,” he said.

As Amir talked to the Dawn‘s correspondents, Kasab’s two sisters and a younger brother stood nearby. Their mother, wrapped in achador, lay on a nearby charpoy.

“Her trance was broken as the small picture of Kasab lying in a Mumbai hospital was shown around. They appeared to have identified their son. The mother shrunk back in her chador but the father said he had no problem in talking about the subject,” the newspaper reported.

Amir said he had settled in Faridkot after arriving from the nearby Haveli Lakha many years ago. He owned the house the family lived in and made a living by selling pakoras in the streets of the village.

He pointed to a hand-cart in one corner of the courtyard and said, “This is all I have. I shifted back to the village after doing the same job in Lahore. My eldest son, Afzal, is also back after a stint in Lahore. He is out working in the fields.”

Faridkot is located off a busy road and bears all the characteristics of a lower-middle class locality in a big city, the newspaper reported.

Amir said he has had little say in Kasab’s life since the day his son walked out on him. He calls the people who snatched his son from him his enemies, but has no clue who these enemies are, the paper reported.

Asked why he did not look for his son all this while, he said, “What could I do with the few resources that I had?”

Media reports had said that Kasab’s handlers had promised him that his family would be compensated with Rs 1,50,000 after the completion of the Mumbai mission.

Though mild-mannered, Amir became agitated at the mention of the link between his son’s actions and money.  “I don’t sell my sons,” Amir said.

Rab ne Bana Di Jodi-Rediff Review

Movie:Rab Ne Bana DI jodi

Starring:Shah Rukh Khan,Anushka Sharma,Vinay Pathak

Director:Aditya Chopra

Music Composer:Salim-Sulaiman

Adtiya made Mohabbatein next, which was judged against DDLJ. I saw it twice, the second time to hear Shah Rukh Khan’s [Images] speech to Amitabh Bachchan [Images] in the film’s climax once again. Those words were among the finest penned lines I have heard in our cinema.

Eight years later, Aditya is back with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

It is an absolute triumph for him as the creator (writer and director) of the film. He takes the formula and turns it around on its head with a film that that is self parodying, self referential and absolutely refreshing.

The film sees SRK [Images] playing Surinder Sahni (Suri) a regular office-going guy, who lives a quiet life and married a girl Taani (Anuksha Sharma proves to be a good find), who had just lost the guy she wanted to marry.Obviously, she doesn’t love him. But he does, and decides to win her with an alter ego called Raj.

Yes, Raj is back!

But this Raj is totally unlike DDLJ’s Raj, who would never run away with the girl. This Raj is all for running away. He is Taani’s dance partner in a musical competition she participates in, by day and her husband Suri by night!

In DDLJ, Pardes and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai [Images], SRK was stealing the other guy’s girl. In this one, he is stealing her from himself!

The scene is set for an all-out entertainer, especially because Aditya and SRK have teamed up for this. They make a new age commonman hero in Suri, all the while poking fun at the flamboyant lovers SRK has played before. But these aren’t insider jokes, they are steeped in popular culture that we have grown up on. For example, there is a hilarious take off on Hrithik Roshan’s [Images] advertisement where he beats a bunch of baddies using a girl as a weapon. I won’t spoil your fun about the other movies Suri and Taani watch in the film, but trust me, you have seen them all!

One of the funniest moments is when Taani nods off in a boring commercial and dreams up a song sequence where Raj announces that if you are bored of regular romances, he has learned from ‘the baap’ of romances and unleashes a song featuring SRK’s favourite heroines.

RNBDJ ranks as one of SRK’s best performances till date, his finest moment being in the interval when Raj talks to Suri and he talks back!

Technically, production designer Muneesh Sappel does a great job.

One of the things you may notice is that Aditya, along with cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, have designed the pace of the film with a lot of long and tough steady cam shots, held together by expert performances. I say tough because the camera is never static, yet it moves at exactly the emotional point you would require it to move in close to the character or pull back.

Salim-Suleman have a blast with the music of the film, which infuses the traditional Yash Raj music with a new age tempo.

One of the big surprises in the film is that despite the film being set in Amritsar [Images], it doesn’t feature the assembly line family tree starting with Dara Singh playing the great grandfather and percolating down to every single niece-nephew, family dog and domestic help. RNBDJ has four leading players, SRK essaying two of them, Anushka [Images] and the brilliant Vinay Pathak as Bobby Khosla.

RNBDJ is an fun entertainer with some very wicked writing at work.

Okay, we can bring in the orchestra now.

PS: Do not miss the end credits!
