Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan won’t clash! Friendly move or calculated one?

Mumbai: What would happen if Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ and Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Raees’ release on the same date? A huge and an ugly clash at the Box Office, no?

 Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan won’t clash! Friendly move or calculated one?

Both these films would have eaten up each other’s fair share of business and even distributers would have had a tough time taking a call on the screenings!








But the good news is that the two Titans won’t clash at the Box Office and it’s almost confirmed now!
A report in DNA suggests that Salman asked the makers of ‘Sultan’ to postpone the release of the film to a later date. And this would mean SRK’s ‘Raees’ will have a solo release on Eid 2016.
The makers of both these films would have observed the response of the audiences to ‘Diwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Given the fact that these two big budget multi-starrer films released on the same day, it was evident that the collections of both these films would suffer at least to some extent.

Now that ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’ will not be releasing on the same date, fans of these two superstars can heave a sigh of relief.
It could either be a move motivated by personal camaraderie or a strategic one - the two superstars can now hit the screens without having to share it.

Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
