  • Gold Prices Soar in 2024: What You Need to Know

    Gold Prices Soar in 2024: What You Need to Know

    Gold prices have jumped over 20% this year, outdoing popular stock market indices like Nifty and BSE Sensex, which only grew by about 12%. This rise is due to problems around the world, people buying gold as a safe investment, and central banks adding gold to their reserves. Still, gold also faces tough challenges ahead, including a stronger US dollar and the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in 2025.

    Gold has been steadily rising for the last seven quarters. According to ICRA, the average price of gold has gone up by 25% this fiscal year compared to last year, even though there were some small drops in price. Over the past five years, gold delivered nearly 15% returns in 2023 and 14.38% in 2022. In 2019 and 2020, gold prices shot up by about 24.59% and 28.24%, but fell slightly in 2021.

    Recently, two big events affected gold’s popularity. First, the government cut customs duty on gold and silver to 6%, causing gold to drop by 6% in price. Second, results from the US elections strengthened the dollar, which can make gold less appealing to investors. The dollar has increased in value by 6.3% against other important currencies in the past month.

    Despite these challenges, demand for gold remains strong. In November, gold imports soared to $14.86 billion, up from $7 billion in October, showing a huge increase of 112%. ICRA predicts domestic gold jewelry consumption will continue to grow by about 14-18% this financial year.

    Looking ahead to 2025, gold will have to tackle three main events early in the year. First, Donald Trump will return as US President. His policies may add some uncertainty, which usually makes gold more appealing. Next, the Union Budget 2025 will be released, and third, the Reserve Bank of India will have new leadership.

    Investment trends are also shifting as cryptocurrencies gain popularity. Bitcoin has recently surged by 140% this year and may even reach the $120,000 mark, drawing attention away from gold. An expert at HDFC Securities, Anuj Gupta, predicts that gold will face competition but still has chances for good returns. He estimates gold could hit Rs 82,000 in 2025, with strong resistance around Rs 84,500. Gupta believes gold is still a safe bet for the future.

  • Pushpa 2: The Action Hit That Defied Expectations!

    Pushpa 2: The Action Hit That Defied Expectations!

    In Pushpa 2: The Rule, there’s a super cool scene where Allu Arjun’s character, Pushpa Raj, fights many bad guys with his hands tied behind his back! This epic fight is similar to what legendary stars like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Salman Khan, and Vijay have done for years. Even Shah Rukh Khan got in on the action last year!

    Pushpa 2 has taken this style to the next level, and the money it’s making shows just how popular it is. Even though some parts of the film don’t always make sense, it perfectly fits the classic action movie formula designed to entertain everyone.

    How Pushpa 2 Became So Successful
    Just like earlier hits like Baahubali and KGF, the first film sets things up for the big success in the second part. While the first Pushpa was a hit in some places but not great in its home, the Hindi version turned out to be a big success. So, the second film’s success relied a lot on how well the Hindi version did.

    As I write this, Pushpa 2: The Rule has already made ₹953 crores in India, with ₹591 crores coming just from the Hindi version! It has even beaten big films like Baahubali 2 and Pathaan at the box office. Truly impressive!

    Sukumar’s Smart Direction
    Allu Arjun is a huge reason why the film is doing well, but director Sukumar also deserves a lot of credit. Many filmmakers try to create a hit, but many fail, like the movies Adipurush and Kanguva. What makes Pushpa 2 different is its story, fun characters, and a hero that people can relate to. While other characters like Rocky Bhai or Baahubali are more of an icon, Pushpa is just like everyone else—and that worked!

    The movie was advertised cleverly, including a trailer launch in Bihar, focusing on making it popular in Hindi-speaking regions. So far, it has earned more money in places like UP and Bihar than in its home state, Andhra Pradesh. This shows how smart the marketing strategy has been.

    A Calculated Choice
    The only downside for Pushpa 2 is its lower earnings in Kerala, where it made just ₹14 crores, while the Tamil version made about ₹50 crores. The presence of big star Fahadh Faasil as a weak villain may have affected its performance there. But featuring him that way might have been a strategic choice. The film is called Pushpa 2, not Pushpa vs Shekhawat, and the focus has to be on Pushpa being strong.

    This smart decision seems to pay off as ticket sales keep ringing up! It’s one thing to plan for a big hit but quite another to succeed, and Sukumar has pulled it off in style. As the movie enters its second week, it could reach ₹1500 crores soon. People are even wondering if it can beat Baahubali 2 and Dangal. Whether it can or not, just the thought shows how big of an impact Pushpa 2 has made!

  • Delhi LG Criticizes CM for Missing CAG Reports, Urges Assembly Session

    Delhi LG Criticizes CM for Missing CAG Reports, Urges Assembly Session

    In New Delhi, the Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena wrote a letter to the Chief Minister Atishi, criticizing her government for not sharing important reports. These reports are done by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and should have been presented in the assembly.

    Saxena claims the government has ignored its duty to show 14 such reports over the last two years. He noted that normally, assemblies meet at least three times a year, but the Delhi government has only met five times in the last five years, which he called “very unusual.”

    The LG mentioned that the assembly’s last meeting was cut short on December 4 but hasn’t been formally ended yet. He urged Atishi, as the leader, to hold a special assembly session on December 19 or 20 to discuss these reports, especially since elections for a new assembly are coming up.

    Currently, there’s a lawsuit because the opposition BJP wants the government to present these reports and has warned they will go back to court if not done within 48 hours. Saxena also shared that he has repeatedly reminded Atishi and her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal, about the importance of these reports. He expressed disappointment that a government that promised transparency is not following through on sharing its findings, which is crucial for the people.

  • Delhi Court Seeks Online Presence of Accused in Naresh Balyan’s Case

    Delhi Court Seeks Online Presence of Accused in Naresh Balyan’s Case

    New Delhi: The Delhi High Court asked for two men in jail to join a hearing online on December 19. This is part of a serious case involving AAP MLA Naresh Balyan, which falls under strict laws against organized crime. Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri told the jail chief to make sure Rohit and Sachin Chikara appear in a video call for the hearing. The court was looking at a request from police to move the case from a local court in Dwarka to a special court that deals with cases involving politicians. The police explained that while they are handling other related cases in a special court, the remaining accused are appearing in different courts, which makes things complicated. Justice Ohri noted that even though the two accused were informed about the transfer request, they didn’t have anyone to represent them. The lawyer for another accused, Ritik, said he had no issues if the case was moved to the special court. The police arrested Balyan on December 4 for alleged organized crime, just after he had been granted bail for a separate extortion case. The special court had refused the police request to keep Balyan in custody longer and sent him to jail until January 9, 2025.

    A higher Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio indicates that investors believe PNB will grow, allowing them to pay more for its shares today. The Price-to-Book (P/B) value shows how much investors think the company is worth even if it doesn’t grow. PNB has a Beta value of 1.78, meaning its stock is more volatile than the overall market.

  • Rijiju Challenges Congress Over Ahmad Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks in Parliament

    Rijiju Challenges Congress Over Ahmad Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks in Parliament

    Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the Congress party for interrupting a parliamentary meeting about Home Minister Amit Shah’s comments on B.R. Ambedkar. Congress members held up posters of Ambedkar and chanted for Shah to apologize in the Lok Sabha. Rijiju explained that a short clip of Shah’s speech was causing confusion and that it was misleading. According to Rijiju, Shah pointed out that Congress disrespected Ambedkar while he was alive, and now they are using his name for their own political gain.

    Rijiju emphasized that the current Modi government has worked hard to honor Ambedkar. He asserted that Congress cannot hide its past mistakes by twisting the facts. Rijiju asked Congress to explain why Ambedkar had to leave Nehru’s cabinet, insisting that Nehru insulted him, leading to his resignation and causing him to lose elections in Lok Sabha.

  • Laapataa Ladies Fails to Reach Oscars 2025 Shortlist: Here’s What Happened

    Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s movie, “Laapataa Ladies,” did not make it to the shortlist for the Best International Feature category at the Oscars 2025. The filmmakers were disappointed but still thankful to the Academy members and the Film Federation of India (FFI) for choosing their film as India’s official entry.

    Some fans and filmmakers, like Hansal Mehta, criticized the Film Federation of India for their choices after “Laapataa Ladies” did not make the Oscars shortlist. Many on social media echoed this disappointment, suggesting that another film, “All We Imagine As Light” by Payal Kapadia, should have been chosen instead.
