Madgaon Express Twitter Review: Kunal Kemmu’s directorial gets mixed response, fails to entertain audiences

Sabir Ansary — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 09:55:22 +0000

Under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Madgaon Express is a comedy film produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. The film received mixed reactions and failed to captivate the audience.

Kunal Kemmu made his directorial debut with the much-awaited film ‘Madgaon Express.’ The movie was released on March 22, 2024 and entertained people to the core. The film, stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi and Avinash Tiwary in the lead roles. As the film hit the big screens, reviews of the film poured in on Twitter. The audience had mixed reactions to Kunal Kemmu’s direction. While some like the movie, others called it average and only watched once.

The film is based on three friends who plan to visit Goa for a holiday. However, their holiday takes a turn when they encounter drug lords and the underworld against the backdrop of Goa. These small elements in the story give a unique twist to the story and therefore offer a different perspective to the audience. While Divyenndu plays the role of Dodo, Pratik Gandhi plays the role of Pratik in the film and Avinash plays Tiwari (Ayush). The film has received widespread acclaim from theater audiences.

Take a look at the Twitter review:

#MadgaonExpress Good first half

#MadgaonExpress First half is decent. Performances are good, comedy part a lot of work. But the interval block doesn’t hold your attention for the second half. That will be the second half. pic.twitter.com/KYgG1ya4nO

Texas police express confusion over new immigration law

Sabir Ansary — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 18:43:26 +0000

Brad Coe, the sheriff in Kinney County along the Texas border, woke up Wednesday with one destination in mind: Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.

Sheriff Coe is the lead law enforcement authority in a largely rural county that has embraced the state’s effort to stem the sharp increase in migrants from Mexico. He said he was done with the many confusing legal orders issued on the law in the past 24 hours.

He wanted to hear it from Governor Abbott himself. “I’m on my way to his office now,” he said.

He summarized the conflicting guidance on whether his department had the legal authority to arrest migrants who entered the country illegally under the terms of the new law.

The Supreme Court ruled ‘yes, we can’ he said, referring to Tuesday’s decision. “But a lower court said, no, we can’t do that. The Supreme Court is believed to be the highest court in the land. Something is wrong.”

Police departments across Texas, both near and far from the border, expressed confusion about how to proceed after the Supreme Court briefly allowed the new law to take effect Tuesday — only to have it halted again by an appeals court.

On Wednesday morning, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard more arguments from both state and federal governments on whether it should go into effect. Many police forces said they would pay close attention to the panel’s ruling before unveiling their plans.

The bill, known as Senate Bill 4, would make it a state crime to enter Texas from Mexico anywhere other than through a legal port of entry. The first arrest would be considered a misdemeanor and then a misdemeanor.

State police have not provided any public indication of how or when they would begin enforcing the law if it eventually takes effect. Abril Luna, a spokeswoman for police in Brownsville, on the border, said that regardless of the ruling, she did not expect daily operations to change dramatically. “If the law is passed, it will obviously be enforced, just like all other laws in Texas,” Ms. Luna said.

Jodi Silva, a spokeswoman for police in Houston, Texas’ largest city, said they too would decide what action to take after a new court order is issued. “We are also monitoring and seeing which way we go,” Ms. Silva said.

In San Antonio, Javier Salazar, the sheriff of Bexar County, which includes that city, has issued a policy manual directing his deputies to enforce the law without engaging in racial profiling, which many critics of the law say would happen if the state and local police are trying to determine who may have entered the country illegally. Officers who make arrests will base them “on probable cause supporting the elements of the crime and not on national origin, immigration status, ethnicity or race,” the report said.

Back in Kinney County, Chief Coe, whose office employs six deputies, said the long list of aggressive border security measures Mr. Abbott has adopted in recent months, including placing concertina wire along the Rio Grande and a heavily armed law enforcement presence on parts of the border, appears to have deterred people from crossing the border. Last year, his deputies arrested up to 20 migrants a day. More recently, he said, “we’re lucky if we get a maximum of two or three a day.”

He said he hoped SB 4 would pass, not because he wants to arrest migrants, but because it would act as a deterrent. “People wouldn’t come anymore because it’s against the law,” he said.

James D. Robinson III, former head of American Express, dies at 88

Sabir Ansary — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:59:08 +0000

James D. Robinson III, who from 1977 to 1993 as CEO of the American Express Company helped transform Wall Street into a more competitive financial marketplace, with a wide variety of companies under one roof, died Monday in Roslyn, N.Y. Long Island. He was 88.

The death, at a hospital, was caused by respiratory failure due to recurrent pneumonia, Walter Montgomery, a family spokesman, wrote in an announcement.

The son of Georgia nobility, Mr. Robinson followed a well-trodden path to financial success, power and influence: from private school to the Ivy League and then to the affluent canyons of Lower Manhattan, with forays into the halls of Capitol Hill.

In Washington, he was among Wall Street’s most influential advocates for deregulating the financial industry and broadening its horizons. Some called him the unofficial Secretary of State for corporate America.

The deregulation he fought for was largely achieved when Congress repealed the crisis-era Glass-Steagall legislation in 1999. As a result, commercial banks were given the authority to underwrite and trade corporate bonds and own insurance companies.

This cultural shift also prompted the securities industry to respond with increasingly sophisticated and complex computerized products. These included highly leveraged derivatives, which played a major role in the 2008 market crisis.

But while Mr. Robinson subsequently acknowledged that financial deregulation “went too far,” he never advocated reimposing Glass-Steagall restrictions, which had erected a wall between investment banks and retail banks.

Mr. Robinson was perhaps best known to the public for his role in the epic $25 billion battle for control of RJR Nabisco in 1988 and his dismissal by disgruntled shareholders.

In the Nabisco episode, an Amex investment firm, Shearson Lehman Hutton, was the financier of an RJR Nabisco management group that sought to gain control of the company in a bidding war that was ultimately won by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company.

“I was a facilitator trying to bring the parties together,” Mr. Robinson said in an interview for this obituary in 2016.

That acquisition was the largest corporate deal ever for nearly a decade and was called by some the pinnacle of a new Gilded Age.

The battle was chronicled in Bryan Burrough and John Helyar’s 1989 best-selling book, “Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco.” The book was the basis of a 1993 HBO film in which Mr. Robinson was played by Fred D. Thompson, who later became a U.S. Senator from Tennessee.

Mr. Robinson’s career was most defined by the fact that he placed American Express at the forefront of the business boundaries that his era was pushing.

“We coined the term ‘diversified financial services industry,’” Mr. Robinson said in the interview in his Midtown Manhattan office (where an abstract Frank Sinatra painting hung on the wall).

During his tenure, the American Express travel and payment card empire expanded to include Shearson Lehman Hutton; First Data Corporation, a payments group; Investors Diversified Services, an investment fund; and the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company. American Express also operated an international bank.

Mr. Robinson made an unsuccessful bid for the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company in 1978 and at one point considered acquiring the Walt Disney Company.

But the prosperity of the late 1980s and early 1990s turned into what he called a “dark period,” when the stock market and real estate industry collapsed and merchants, in what became known as the “Boston Fee Party,” nationwide revolted against the high costs. of accepting American Express cards.

The uprising forced the company to lower its so-called discount rate (about 4 percent per transaction) to match that of its credit card competitors, which charged a third of that rate.

Dissatisfied shareholders and directors forced Mr Robinson to resign in 1993, at the age of 57.

Within a year, he and his son and Stuart J. Ellman founded RRE Ventures, a New York venture capital firm that invests in new information technology companies.

His departure from American Express came a decade after he presided over the pressured departure of Sanford I. Weill, the Wall Street titan whose securities empire was absorbed by American Express under Robinson.

The brash, Brooklyn-born Mr. Weill, who started his career on Wall Street as a messenger, and Mr. Robinson, a patrician from Georgia, were a culturally odd couple. When Mr. Weill’s proposal to buy Fireman’s Fund, which he ran, was rejected by Amex’s board, he decided he had to leave.

Mr. Weill found Mr. Robinson bureaucratic and indecisive. But in the 2016 interview, Mr. Robinson challenged the widely held belief that Mr. Weill was the risk-taker and that he was risk-averse. In fact, Mr. Robinson claimed, “it was the opposite.”

James Dixon Robinson III – also known as ‘Jimmy three sticks’ because of his use of Roman numerals – was born on November 19, 1935 in Atlanta, the son of James Dixon Robinson Jr. And Josephine (Crawford) Robinson. The son and grandson of prominent Georgia bankers (his father was chairman of the First National Bank of Atlanta), he grew up with two sisters in the city’s affluent Buckhead section.

A neighbor, celebrated golfer Bobby Jones, inspired Jimmy to take up the game at age 8, tipping occasionally. His 2016 curriculum vitae listed seven golf club memberships, including Augusta National (founded by Jones), and nine former golf club memberships.

After attending Woodberry Forest, a private school in Virginia, Mr. Robinson enrolled as a day student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he studied industrial management. After graduating in 1957, he joined the Navy, which assigned him as a pay officer or paymaster at the nuclear submarine base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. In the meantime, he took correspondence courses at the New York Stock Exchange. That same year he married Bettye Bradley, with whom he had two children.

After resigning in 1959, Mr. Robinson enrolled at Harvard Business School and received an MBA in 1961. He began his business career at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company and after five years was named assistant to the CEO, Thomas S. Gates Jr. .

In 1968, Mr. Robinson became a partner at White Weld & Company, where he developed an interest in venture capital. He joined American Express in 1970 as an executive vice president, recruited by Eugene R. Black Sr., an Atlanta native, Amex executive and former head of the World Bank. Mr. Robinson became president in 1975 and chairman and chief executive officer in 1977.

He also served as chairman and CEO of Shearson Lehman Brothers, the brokerage subsidiary of American Express.

He resigned in early 1993 after a boardroom row over his continued employment. Major shareholders sought his ouster. The Times reported that he left behind a company with “crumbling morale,” erratic profits and losses, and a falling stock price. Analysts, investors, some board members and even his predecessor, Howard L. Clark Sr., had turned against him.

His marriage to Ms. Bradley ended in 1983 after she suffered a disabling brain aneurysm, he said, and filed for divorce.

In 1984 he married Linda Gossena high-profile PR manager who later advised him during the RJR Nabisco battle. She is the daughter of Freeman F. Gosden, co-creator and voice of the radio program “Amos ‘n’ Andy.” As he became active in philanthropies and fundraising for Republican candidates, Mr. Robinson and his wife became prominent members of a glittering New York social scene, living at the famously exclusive address of 778 Park Avenue.

He is survived by his wife; his two children from his first marriage, James IV and Emily Cook; two children from his second marriage, Nicholas and Olivia Robinson; his sister, Frances Huber; and six grandchildren. Mr. Robinson lived on Park Avenue in Manhattan.

Asked at age 80 when he planned to retire, Mr. Robinson said, “Three years after I’m dead.” He added that if his dreams of technological advancement came true, “I might be able to make that happen.”

Robert D. Hershey Jr.a reporter who spent years covering Wall Street finances and economics for The Times, died in January. Alex Traub reporting contributed.

Since the palace’s announcement, a number of well-wishers have posted emotional messages of support on both X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram.

Another royal fan account, ‘british._royal’, posted a similar message on Instagram, wishing: ‘Condolences to the family.’

Lady Gabriella paid tribute to her financier husband in a joint statement with his family, describing him as an ‘exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him’. His tragic death was described as a ‘major shock to the whole family’.

An investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of death, but there are no suspicious circumstances and no other parties involved.

A statement on behalf of Lady Gabriella Kingston and Mr Kingston’s family said: ‘It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the death of Thomas Kingston, our beloved husband, son and brother.

“Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him. His death has come as a great shock to the entire family and we ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn his passing.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla have sent their “most sincere thoughts and prayers” to Lady Kingston and Mr Kingston’s family.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: ‘The King and Queen have been informed of Thomas’ death and join Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all who knew him in mourning a much-loved member of the family.

“In particular, Their Majesties send their deepest thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and the entire Kingston family.”

Another royal fan account sent their condolences to the family on Tuesday evening following Buckingham Palace’s announcement

Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lady Gabriella’s parents, both attended a memorial service at St. George’s Chapel for King Constantine of Greece today.

Prince Michael was cousins of the late Queen Elizabeth through their father.

It is understood Prince William’s absence from today’s memorial was not related to Mr Kingston’s death.

Kensington Palace announced earlier in the day that the Prince of Wales had withdrawn from the memorial service due to a personal matter.

Lady Gabriella, known to her friends as Ella, and her late husband married in 2019 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

The wedding reception took place at Frogmore House, the former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Lady Gabriella is not a working member of the royal family and does not perform any public duties.

Mr Kingston, known as Tom, had been a director of Devonport Capital since 2017.
