New Delhi:

Amid speculation about their wedding plans, Aam Aadmi Party member Raghav Chadha in a recent interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, opened up about his first meeting with fiancée and actor Parineeti Chopra. Talking about it, the AAP leader said, “Hum jaise bhi mile (However we met), it was very magical and a very organic way of meeting. It is something that I thank god every day for, for giving me Parineeti in my life… Bahut badi blessing hai (It’s a huge blessing) and I am extremely happy that I have her as my partner. As I said, I thank god every single day for giving her to me.”

On being asked about their wedding plans, Raghav Chadha simply said, “Main desh se zyada khush hoon (I am happier than the country).”

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha are all set to get married later this month, according to reports. There are multiple reports in circulation about their wedding venue and dates. Amid various reports, a wedding reception invite has been doing the rounds on the Internet which claims the couple will host a reception in Chandigarh on September 30. The invite has been sent from Raghav’s family. The white card has golden motifs on its border and it looks simple yet classy. An official announcement is still awaited.

Take a look at the card here, shared by a popular bollywood photographer DOP lensman Pradeep:

Hindustan Times reported that the festivities will begin on September 17. The wedding and other functions will reportedly be held at The Leela Palace Udaipur. “Only close family members and friends will be staying there. For the other guests, all luxury properties in and around the wedding venue have been booked. It’s going to be a grand Punjabi wedding. The celebration will end on September 24,” HT quoted the source as saying.

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha got engaged in the presence of family members and friends in May in Delhi’s Kapurthala House. Sharing pictures from their engagement ceremony earlier this year, they wrote in the caption, “Everything I prayed for… I said yes.” See the pictures from their engagement ceremony here:

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha’s dating rumours started doing the rounds after they were pictured at a Mumbai eatery together earlier this year. They also made a couple of appearances at the airport together. They were also spotted at an IPL match together.

Elvis tops ABBA, Queen and Beatles in new British poll of best sing-along tracks | Films | Entertainment

According to a new survey of 2000 Brits, as many as 80 per cent of us say we love a good sing-song as a way of boosting our mental health.

In fact, 37 per cent are convinced they have a great voice, but just 17 per cent think they could make it as a famous singer with the right training.

And now the latest research conducted by menthol lozenge brand Jakemans has discovered the nation’s favourite tracks to sing-along to.

The top Beatles song was Sir Paul McCartney’s Hey Jude at No 12, while Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now came in at No 9.

Additionally, ABBA took fourth place with Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen came in at No 2.

But it was a track Elvis Presley was famous for covering live that made it No 1 with 41 per cent of the vote. The song in question is Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline. This actually makes a lot of sense considering it’s the fan anthem of the England football team, who’ve had their best record in years under Gareth Southgate. Check out the full Top 30 below.

‘Must-watch’ war film with almost perfect rating shows real horrors | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

CHANNEL TODAY BROADCASTING CORPORATION

THis war film’s director set out to capture the lives of those who fought, rather than a retelling of the events, and viewers are calling it a “work of art”.

They Shall Not Grow Old is a documentary film by the renowned Peter Jackson, the man behind the highly acclaimed Lord of The Rings trilogy. Jackson decided to dedicate this piece of work to his late grandfather, who himself fought during the war, and it was this that motivated him to focus on creating an immersive experience of life at war.

The 2018 movie is a unique take on a war film, as it uses colourised and restored unseen footage from the First World War to capture the realities of life as a soldier. To honour this, it was premiered on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918.

One Rotten Tomatoes reviewer shared how the film touched them. They wrote: “I’ve never seen such an artistic approach to a documentary. Peter Jackson uses his extraordinary vision to capture the tragedy of the Great War.

“The transitions of the black & white/small screen to colour full screen encapsulate an eerie clarity that comes with war, capturing the ignorance of the horrors of modern warfare, both before the war ramped up and after the war ended. This film is a work of art.”

Upon reviewing the footage, from collections of the BBC and the IWM , the director made the creative decision to use audio excerpts of the real-life soldiers, as opposed to a typical narration. This helped to centre its focus on the soldiers, rather than the war itself, and therefore very few dates or locations are revealed throughout the film.

Talking about the making of the film, Jackson told Flix: “We also edited out any references to dates and places because I didn’t want the movie to be about this day here or that day there. There’s hundreds of books about all that stuff. I wanted the film to be a human experience and be agnostic in that way.”

They Shall Not Grow Old boasts an impressive 99% overall score on the review site with endless rave reviews, thanks to its ‘true’ retelling of these soldiers stories. One review claims: “Amazing window to see the true happenings of the First World War. The commentary from the soldiers was amazing to get to see their point of view and their experiences. There’s nothing like it.”

Anotherd, A must-see film depicting the horrors of war by the ones who fought and survived. The revamped footage, along with commentary sharing individual stories of their experiences, makes for a compelling movie on the Great War.”

When sharing the reasoning behind his decision to colourise the footage, Jackson explained that the men who fought in the war didn’t see it in black and white, and therefore it was important for him to show it as they saw it. This was purely a passion project for the director, who received no payment for the making of the film after his crew restored all 100 hours of the footage.

A viewer wrote: “Incredible cinematic work to breathe new life into old footage and pay respect to a generation’s sacrifice.” While another said: “I’m not the largest fan of documentaries; however, this documentary is not only emotional, entertaining, and informative to watch, but it is also revolutionary and an absolute must-see for any history fans and those just looking for a powerful and fresh look at the horrors of WWI.”

The powerful docummentary, They Shall Not Grow Old, is avaliable to watch now on Amazon Prime.
