Mohanlal’s ‘Ravana Prabhu’ 4K Re-Release Roars at Box Office, Collects ₹1.8 Crore in 48 Hours

Kochi : The legendary status of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has once again been underscored by a spectacular box office performance—this time, from a 23-year-old film. His 2001 cult classic, Ravana Prabhu, has made a triumphant return to theaters in a brand-new 4K Atmos format, collecting a staggering ₹1.80 crore globally within just the first 48 hours of its re-release.

​The much-anticipated revival of the action-drama sequel, originally directed and written by Ranjith, has seen fans rush back to cinema halls worldwide. The impressive collection figures, confirmed by box office trackers like AB George, highlight the enduring power and appeal of the film and its lead star. The re-release is being hailed as a major success, proving that classics, when presented in stunning modern technology, can still compete with new releases.

​Celebrating the film’s roaring success and its theatrical revival, Mohanlal himself took to social media, delighting fans with a nostalgic throwback. The actor posted a still from the movie, featuring the iconic, crowd-pleasing line: “Hey.. Savari Giri Giri 👊💥.” This post instantly went viral, driving a wave of excitement among his devoted fanbase, affectionately known as ‘Lalettan’ fans.

​The enthusiastic response to the remastered version not only brings back fond memories for the older generation but also introduces the intense father-son drama and classic Ranjith-style storytelling—a continuation of the 1993 hit Devasuram—to a younger generation of moviegoers.

Tata Capital CEO ‘Happy’ With Listing Outcome, Eyes Robust Growth in Coming Quarters

Mumbai: Rajiv Sabharwal, the MD & CEO of Tata Capital, expressed contentment with the company’s much-anticipated market debut on October 13, stating that his focus remains squarely on driving quarter-on-quarter performance rather than the listing day price.

Speaking exclusively to Moneycontrol, Sabharwal downplayed the fact that the company’s shares did not list at a significant premium to the IPO price of ₹326. Instead, he projected a strong performance in the upcoming December and March quarters of FY26, fueled by better-than-expected festive season demand for products like auto, two-wheeler, and tractor loans.

“It’s a great experience. We feel a sense of big responsibility. We have added over 22 lakh new shareholders to the Tata Capital family,” Sabharwal said, positioning the company’s public entry as the start of “Tata Capital 2.0.”

When asked about the listing price, he reiterated, “We are pretty happy with what has happened. More importantly, we are focused on ensuring that our performance keeps improving. We are very bullish on growth.”

Sabharwal highlighted that the benefits of recent GST cuts and lower raw material costs are beginning to reflect in an uptick in loan demand. He also noted that from a credit cycle perspective, the “peaking of credit costs are behind us,” signaling a healthier financial future for the company.

Addressing the RBI’s recent policy changes allowing NBFCs greater participation in infrastructure lending, Sabharwal confirmed that Tata Capital will continue to be a key player, especially in the green-tech sector. “We have financed over 500 projects in the clean energy area and we have created one of the best books in the industry as far as quality is concerned,” he stated.

For new investors, Sabharwal outlined three key commitments: maintaining industry-leading growth, keeping credit costs among the best in the industry, and continuing to leverage technology, including Gen AI, to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

WHO Voices ‘Deep Concern’ as Tainted Indian Cough Syrups Linked to 20 Child Deaths

WHO Voices ‘Deep Concern’ as Tainted Indian Cough Syrups Linked to 20 Child Deaths

New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed “deep concern” over significant gaps in India’s drug safety regulations following the deaths of at least 20 children in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan linked to contaminated cough syrups. The global health body also warned that these toxic medicines could have reached other countries through informal markets.

The deaths, which occurred over the past month, are associated with three specific cough syrups found to contain diethylene glycol (DEG), a toxic industrial solvent. In response, Indian authorities have arrested the owner of one of the pharmaceutical companies, halted production, and launched a multi-state investigation.

The crisis has become a subject of national alarm for parents in a country where administering oral syrups to children is common practice. Most of the fatalities were children under five in Madhya Pradesh who consumed ‘Coldrif’ syrup, reportedly suffering from fever, vomiting, and urinary problems before a rapid decline.

India’s drug regulator has identified the contaminated syrups as Coldrif (Sresan Pharmaceuticals), Respifresh (Rednex Pharmaceuticals), and ReLife (Shape Pharma). On Thursday, police arrested G. Ranganathan, the 73-year-old owner of Chennai-based Sresan Pharmaceuticals. Tamil Nadu’s Health Minister has stated that the firm’s manufacturing license will be “permanently cancelled.”

A subsequent inspection of the Sresan facility by the Tamil Nadu Drug Control department uncovered a staggering 364 manufacturing rule violations, including 39 classified as “very serious.” The report cited unhygienic storage, contaminated water sources, unqualified staff, and a complete lack of a quality assurance department.

This incident is the latest in a series of global scandals involving Indian-made cough syrups. In 2023, syrups tainted with DEG were linked to the deaths of over 70 children in The Gambia and 18 in Uzbekistan. Another incident in Jammu in late 2019 led to the deaths of at least 12 children from a similar contamination.

Tata Capital Makes Subdued Market Debut; JM Financial Initiates with ‘Add’ Rating, Sees 9% Upside

Mumbai: Shares of Tata Capital, the financial services arm of the Tata Group, made a tepid debut on the stock exchanges today, October 13, listing at ₹330 per share—a modest 1.2 percent premium over its issue price of ₹326. Following the listing, brokerage firm JM Financial has initiated coverage on the stock with an ‘Add’ rating and a target price of ₹360.

This target implies a potential upside of over 9 percent from its listing price. JM Financial highlighted Tata Capital’s position as a leading, diversified non-banking financial company (NBFC) with the strong backing of the Tata conglomerate and a business model heavily focused on secured lending.

Analyst Outlook and Projections

JM Financial noted that Tata Capital’s diversified portfolio, which includes retail finance (61%), SME loans (26%), and corporate loans (13%), is a key strength. “With the highest credit rating of AAA/Stable, TCL enjoys easy access to funds at lower interest rates,” the brokerage stated. However, it also pointed out that competition from banks and a higher share of secured loans result in lower Net Interest Margins (NIMs) of around 5-5.5% compared to peers.

The firm projects a 20 percent CAGR in Assets Under Management (AUM) for Tata Capital between FY25 and FY27. This growth, combined with steady operating expenses, is expected to drive a Profit After Tax (PAT) CAGR of approximately 34 percent, leading to an average Return on Assets (RoA) of 1.9% and Return on Equity (RoE) of 13.2% over FY26-27.

Investment Strategy: Buy, Sell, or Hold?

Master Capital Services weighed in, calling Tata Capital a potential long-term investment. “The company has lent out to 7.3 million customers since it started operations in 2007. It has the potential for a long-term investment in India’s growing financial services sector,” the firm said.

For investors, the advice is nuanced. “Long-term holding of the stock should be considered by investors who received IPO allotment. Meanwhile, those who didn’t get shares in the IPO can purchase when the price goes down,” Master Capital Services added.

Potential downside risks identified by analysts include an economic slowdown impacting AUM growth, delays in margin expansion, and regulatory changes.

About the IPO

Tata Capital’s much-anticipated IPO, which ran from October 6 to October 8, raised ₹15,512 crore. The issue was subscribed approximately 2 times and consisted of a fresh issue of shares worth ₹6,846 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of shares worth nearly ₹8,666 crore by promoters Tata Sons and investor International Finance Corporation.

Tata Trusts Rift Exposed: Mehli Mistry ‘Dismayed’ as Noel Tata Blocks Board Seat Amid Power Struggle

Tata Trusts Rift Exposed: Mehli Mistry ‘Dismayed’ as Noel Tata Blocks Board Seat Amid Power Struggle

MUMBAI: A deep rift within the leadership of Tata Trusts, India’s oldest philanthropic institution, has been laid bare in the minutes of a contentious board meeting held on September 11. The core of the dispute centers on the nomination of trustee Mehli Mistry to the board of Tata Sons, a move that was ultimately blocked by Tata Trusts’ chairman, Noel Tata.

During a heated discussion, Mistry, a known confidant of the late Ratan Tata, expressed his personal disappointment, stating he had “continuously supported Noel at all times, including when you were being considered for the chairman’s role” and was therefore “dismayed” by Noel’s refusal to back his candidacy.

The conflict erupted during a mandatory annual review of 77-year-old vice-chairman Vijay Singh’s position as a nominee director on the Tata Sons board. A faction of four trustees—Mistry, Darius Khambata, Pramit Jhaveri, and Jehangir Jehangir—voted against Singh’s reappointment, arguing that the Trusts required a “more forceful voice” to represent its interests, especially concerning the impending public listing of Tata Sons. They proposed Mehli Mistry as the ideal replacement.

However, Noel Tata and fellow trustee Venu Srinivasan stood firmly by Singh, citing his unwavering loyalty to Ratan Tata and the group during one of its most challenging periods, likely referencing the legal battle against former chairman Cyrus Mistry. Noel Tata also noted that Singh had the full support of Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran and that forcing him out before his term ended would set a bad precedent.

The disagreement highlighted a clear division, with trustee Pramit Jhaveri pointing to a “lack of transparency” and a “sense of alienation among trustees” since October 2024. He suggested that two classes of trustees had been created—those who were nominee directors on the Tata Sons board (Noel Tata and Venu Srinivasan) and those who were not.

When directly asked if he supported Mehli Mistry’s nomination, Noel Tata replied in the “negative,” leading to Mistry’s expression of dismay. Ultimately, the vote on Vijay Singh’s directorship was split 4-2 against his continuation, prompting his resignation from the Tata Sons board.

Staunch Modi Critic, Ex-IAS Officer Kannan Gopinathan Joins Congress Party

New Delhi: Kannan Gopinathan, a former IAS officer who resigned from the civil services in protest against the central government’s policies, officially joined the Congress party on Monday. A prominent and vocal critic of the Modi administration, Gopinathan was formally inducted into the party at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi at 11:30 AM.

Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal welcomed him into the party in the presence of other leaders, including Kanhaiya Kumar. Hailing from Kerala, Gopinathan’s entry into mainstream politics is considered significant, especially with assembly elections in several states, including Kerala, on the horizon.

K.C. Venugopal stated that Gopinathan’s decision to join came after meetings with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi.

Upon joining, Gopinathan pledged to work for the people. “This is the party of citizens. However, a journey from being citizens to subjects is currently underway. The goal is to journey back to being citizens,” he said. He added that his specific role within the party would be decided by the leadership.

Kerala’s Anti-Maoist Helicopter Grounded? Centre Slashes Funds After State Declares “Victory”

Kerala’s Anti-Maoist Helicopter Grounded? Centre Slashes Funds After State Declares “Victory”

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government is facing a financial crunch in its anti-Maoist operations after the central government slashed its annual funding by 75%, leaving the state struggling to pay the hefty lease for its police helicopter. The annual funding has been reduced from ₹20 crore to less than ₹5 crore, creating arrears of over ₹3 crore for the helicopter’s monthly rent of ₹80 lakh.

The helicopter, leased specifically for anti-Maoist surveillance, has been a subject of controversy, with allegations that it is primarily used for VIP travel rather than its intended purpose. Its only major operational sortie, a surveillance flight over the forests of Kozhikode, was reportedly unsuccessful.

A Contradictory Stance
The central government’s decision to cut the funds came after the Kerala Police itself declared the state largely “Maoist-free.” Following the arrest of Maoist leader Santhosh (Ravi) in February, the police had claimed to have effectively dismantled the extremist network in the state, leading the Centre to remove Wayanad, Palakkad, and Malappuram from the list of Maoist-affected districts.

However, in what is being described as a contradictory move, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan recently met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi, requesting the restoration of the funds. The state government argued that the threat still persists and that Kannur and Wayanad should be retained on the list of affected districts to justify the continued financial support.

Contractual Obligation
The funding crisis puts the state in a difficult position as it is bound by a three-year contract for the helicopter, amounting to a total of ₹28.8 crore. This means the state exchequer will have to bear the cost of the lease, which includes fuel, maintenance, staff salaries, and parking fees, regardless of whether central assistance is available. The reduction in funds is also expected to impact other anti-Maoist activities, including Thunderbolt commando training and community policing initiatives.

ED Summons Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s Son Vivek Kiran in Decades-Old SNC-Lavalin Case

Kochi: A major political controversy has erupted in Kerala following the recent surfacing of official documents confirming that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had issued a summons to Vivek Kiran, the son of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in connection with the long-standing SNC-Lavalin corruption case.

​The summons, dated for February 14, 2023, directed Vivek Kiran to appear before the ED’s Kochi Zonal Office as part of a probe into the case, which the central agency had registered in 2020. The ED sought to question him based on depositions that reportedly alleged financial transactions, including a claim that the Lavalin company had provided funds for his education in the UK.

​Vivek Kiran, whose address was listed on the summons as ‘S/o Pinarayi Vijayan, Cliff House, TVM,’ reportedly did not comply with the directive to appear before the central agency.

​The revelation of the official summons, and the subsequent lack of any discernible follow-up action from the ED, has intensified political attacks. Opposition parties have been quick to allege a compromise or “unholy nexus” between the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) and the central government’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), suggesting the Chief Minister’s family is receiving special political protection. The ED has so far maintained that the case remains active.

Karur Stampede: Supreme Court Orders CBI Probe in Setback to Tamil Nadu Govt; Vijay’s Party Gets Relief

New Delhi: In a major political and legal development, the Supreme Court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the probe into the Karur stampede tragedy, where 41 people died during a rally for actor Vijay’s political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK). The verdict is being seen as a significant setback for the Tamil Nadu government and a major relief for Vijay’s nascent political outfit.

The court has also appointed a three-member committee, headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ajay Rastogi, to monitor the CBI investigation to ensure its fairness and transparency.

The crucial order was passed by a bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and N.V. Anjaria while hearing petitions filed by the TVK and several families of the victims. The petitioners had expressed a lack of faith in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the state, arguing that an inquiry involving the state police would be biased. Accepting this argument, the Supreme Court disbanded the SIT that was earlier constituted by the Madras High Court.

During the proceedings, the Supreme Court had previously questioned the Madras High Court’s jurisdiction in forming a special investigation team while hearing a plea for general guidelines on preventing crowd disasters. Lawyers for TVK argued in court that Vijay had left the rally venue on the instructions of the police and that remarks by the High Court suggesting he had fled were unwarranted. The decision for a central agency to investigate is a significant win for the TVK’s legal and political strategy.
