In recent times we have seen that Indian judiciary system has pronounced some good judgments that express the true meaning of democracy. In recent months Indian courts had pronounced some judgments in which some influential and rich persons from the society were punished for their anti-social activities. Nitish Katara murder case and BMW hit-and-run case are the perfect examples of it. It must be learnt that in both of the cases accused persons had tried every kind of means to mend the evidence in favor of themselves. But because of active media and sting operations carried out by some channels, culprits and their associates were exposed. These judgments have shown that everyone is equal for law and no one is great than law. Thus honorable court have set examples for the society by pronouncing some good judgments.

Present developments indicate that now judiciary is set to purge itself from the impurities. First such development is the impeachment process initiated against the Calcutta High Court Judge Soumitra Sen for ”misconduct. In the other development Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan has granted  permission to Central Bureau of Investigation to question two Punjab High Court judges, Nirmaljeet Kaur and Nirmal Yadav, in a ‘cash-at-door’ scam.

Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan had recommended the Centre government to initiate impeachment process against  Calcutta High Court Judge Soumitra Sen. A committee of senior judges had found him responsible for misappropriation of around 24 lakh during 1990s. CJI has sought his dismissal as he has brought disrepute to the judiciary with his corrupt practices. CJI had asked him to resign to avoid the impeachment process but he turned down the offer. If Parliament starts the impeachment process then it will a first case of impeachment process against a sitting High Court Judge in the history of India.

In the other case Punjab High Court Judge Nirmaljeet Kaur had found Rs 15 lakh at her doorstep. She had lodges a police complaint. UT Police had arrested Prakash Kumar, assistant of former Additional Advocate General Sanjeev Bansal, as the suspect. Later on Police had registered a case against Bansal and had arrested him under IPC provisions and the Prevention of Corruption Act. During the investigation it came to light that money was actually meant to be delivered at the residence of Judge Nirmal Yadav. CJI had constituted a three-judge committee to investigate  the case on the recommendations of Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Tirath Singh Thakur. In the mean time on the request of Punjab Governor SFR Rodrigues  CBI had initiated the investigation process and had sought approval from the CJI to question the accused judges.

Hum Tum is the Bollywood version of  “When Harry met Sally” where the encounters between a male and a female are shown over several years as their mutual feelings for each other ranges from hatred to respect, friendship to love and more. The movie has been very beautifully been modified to suit Indian viewers taste and Kunal Kohli did a commendable job as the director. Both the main leads of the story, Rani Mukerjee and Saif Ali Khan received Filmfare awards for their performance.

Saif’s role of a cartoonist was extended to a completely different level by picturing a few animated sequences in the movie to show the interactions between Rani and Saif. Services of Kathaa Animations were hired for the same with support from TATA group of companies. The variety offered with the time tested love story of Saif and Rani in the movie succeeded in wooing the audience as well as the critics. The movie won five Filmfare and one national award. The musical score of the movie was given by the duo of Jatin-Lalit and became quite popular courtesy smart marketing initiative involving leading music channels.

Hum Tum is not just a romantic story but also, can be considered a story of relations as it captures the relation between a father and a son (Rishi Kapoor and Saif), a mother and a daughter (Kirron Kher and Rani) among others in great details. The importance of communication in relations in our daily life becomes the highlight as the movie approaches its end when Saif and Rani lose a few years together despite loving each other for lack of a confession between the two regarding their feelings.

Cold War It is the known truth that after the cold war between Bachchans and Shahrukh Khan, Indian Film Industry has been wedged in two camps. It is Shahrukh Khan who is responsible for whole of the controversy. He wanted to displace Amitabh Bachchan from the no1 position and was trying to project himself as the King Khan. But Bachchan had not come out openly against him. But Shahrukh’s evil design have started to fail and all his supporters have started to desert him one by one because of Shahrukh’s own habits.

Spat Shahrukh’s spat with Salman Khan at Katrina’s birthday party turned out to be a big blow for his camp. After it Shahrukh had thrown Salman’s girl friend Katrina Kaif out of his Temptations Reloaded world tour which is also considered to be as an answer to Bachchans’ famous world tour. Shahrukh’s camp got divided into to parts. At one side are Salman’s loyalists and at the other side are Shahrukh’s. But there are some people who have remained neutral through whole of these developments.

Rumor Aamir Khan is such guy who kept himself away from taking sides with any of the camp. There were some rumors that Aamir Khan had agreed to participate in SRK’s Temptations Reloaded world tour. It was being said that SRK had roped in Aamir Khan for his tour with the purpose of to do the same what Akshay had done to Bachchan’s “Unforgettable tour”. Even SRK camp had confirmed the news and had said that Aamir had agreed. It had stroked the rumor that Aamir had sided with SRK camp. But all these rumors faded away when he himself had denied to be part of either of the project.

Neutral It is the truth that Aamir Khan has always remained away from controversies. He has never indulged in any kind of activities that can indicate that he is siding with any of the camp in the film industry. According to some sources he had even refrained himself to attend those events that were attended by SRK because he did not wanted to send to wring signals that he is a part of any camp.
