If you skimmed Global Entertainment Hub this month, you saw a mash‑up of big‑screen glory, climate chatter, and cricket thrills. Below is a quick run‑through of the stories that mattered most, so you won’t have to hunt through dozens of posts.
The 71st National Film Awards took place on September 23. President Droupadi Murmu handed the Dadasaheb Phalke Award to veteran actor Mohanlal – a first for a Malayalam star. In the acting category, Shah Rukh Khan shared Best Actor with Vikrant Massey, while Rani Mukerji snagged Best Actress for “Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway”. The ceremony also highlighted buzz‑worthy releases like “12th Fail” and “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”. If you missed the event, this roundup gives you the key winners and why they matter.
Delhi’s summer kept fans guessing. A viral claim of a 54 °C temperature sparked a fact‑check that showed the real high stayed in the low‑50s, according to IMD data. The post explained how extreme readings pop up and why thunderstorms can only offer brief relief before the monsoon arrives.
Speaking of the monsoon, the India Meteorological Department warned of a high‑pressure “wall” that’s stalling rain despite heavy clouds. The anti‑cyclonic system is blocking the Bay of Bengal branch, while the Arabian Sea branch pushes harder. Experts say a 3‑4‑day window could open if the pressure eases, so expect above‑normal rainfall overall.
Further east, Jharkhand residents were alerted to a possible low‑pressure system over the Bay of Bengal that might dump heavy rain within 48 hours. The forecast pointed to localized flooding, power cuts, and traffic snarls, urging people to keep an eye on IMD updates.
Cricket fans got a dose of live‑streaming info when the UAE vs Bangladesh T20I series unfolded in Sharjah. Though there was no TV broadcast in India, the matches were free on FanCode, with games on May 17 and 19 at 8:30 PM IST. Bangladesh’s Litton Das led the side, while the UAE leaned on captain Muhammad Waseem for momentum after their Gulf T20 win.
Back on Indian soil, the IPL clash between KKR and RCB at Eden Gardens promised hot, humid cricket. Daytime temps hit 32‑34 °C, humidity near 79 %, and a light rain chance that could cause brief delays. The conditions meant players would feel the heat, and fans should bring a raincoat just in case.
On a different front, an analysis of Israel vs Iran compared tech‑heavy Israeli forces with Iran’s larger but older arsenal. The piece highlighted Israel’s high‑end jets, layered air defenses, and U.S. tech support versus Iran’s tank and artillery numbers. Recent missile exchanges showed Israel’s 99 % interception rate, underscoring the tech advantage.
Finally, a unique story came from Uttar Pradesh’s Sant Kabir Nagar. The state introduced an online lottery for mustard seed kits, offering 2,000 mini kits that each cover one acre. Farmers must apply by September 30, and the Azad Mahak variety promises higher yields, especially with early planting needed due to lower rainfall.
