Chashni song from Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Bharat is high on romance,
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were on fire in their last release Tiger Zinda Hai. The same can be said about their upcoming film Bharat. The combination of these two has always worked at the box office and going by the chemistry that they share in Bharat, one can expect it to be a blockbuster film. Talking about the chemistry, the makers of Bharat have dropped yet another song from the film. Title Chashni, the song is an out-and-out romantic number with Salman and Katrina showing off their love.
The old school Salman who compares himself to Dilip Kumar says that he has found his Saira Banu in Katrina and the rest of the song revolves around their love. Salman fondly calls Katrina as Madam Sir. From Katrina wearing some beautiful sarees to Salman sporting a cool, thin moustache; Chashni has all the elements to be a love anthem of this season. It is sung by Vishal & Shekhar in collaboration with Abhijeet Srivastava. Lyrics have been penned by Irshad Kamil. The lyrics are beautiful and beats are soulful. Not to miss the beautiful background which comprises of sand dunes, mountains and water bodies. We don't any such place on earth where we can find all three together, but in the song, they make up for a perfect mix. However, keeping all of this aside, the romance shared by Katrina and Salman takes the cake.
Watch the song here:
The last song that released of Bharat was Slow Motion featuring Salman and Disha Patani. The film helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar will see the journey of a man spanning over 70 years, from the time he was young to him being a senior citizen. The film also stars Sunil Grover, Nora Fatehi, Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff and Tabu in pivotal roles. It will make it to the theatres on June 5, which means, this is Salman Khan's Eidi to his fans this year.
The spectacular moment was captured by fans in the stand.
A college football game in Texas became a global spectacle, after a video of a huge bald eagle perching on-top of two audience members went viral.
The spectacular occurrence that left everyone surprised happened during an ongoing college football playoff semi-final between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Clemson Tigers at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The first lucky man, identified as Albert Armas told local media that he was scared when 'Clark', the huge bird took hold of his shoulder.
His son, standing right beside him is seen chuckling loudly at his father's expense in the video.
Interestingly, the eagle did not just land once, but twice in quick succession.
Clark landed on the outstretched arm of Tuyen Nguyen, the second man to get lucky after flying straight onto his arm.
Speaking to local media he said, "When I saw the bird land [on Armas], I thought the bird had to be very tired. So I put my hand out to see what happens. And it landed on me. It was very interesting. I was very excited. It was amazing, I couldn't even believe it."
The video shows fellow fans cheering and whipping out their phone sto capture the unusual moment.
The sizeable bird, was apparently meant to fly around the stadium during the national anthem.
Bald eagles have a massive wingspread of about 7 feet (2.13 meters). Their bodies are much smaller, though, at only 34 to 43 inches (86 to 109 centimeters). Normally, bald eagles weigh 6.5 to 14 pounds (3 to 6.5 kilograms).
Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar
starrer 2.0 has been making a lot of waves before its release. And now its
runtime has been revealed to be shorter than its prequel Robot.
If there is one film that can
challenge the records created by SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The
Conclusion then that is Shankar's 2.0 starring
Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar. Touted to be India's most expensive movie, 2.0 has
been passed with U/A certificate by CBFC. Even before the release, the
much-awaited sequel is on a record-breaking spree by earning Rs 120 crore
through its advance booking and becoming the first film in Tamil cinema to go
past Rs 100 crore.
A recent report also suggested
that the movie has also surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in
terms of the numbers of screens it will be releasing worldwide. While Baahubali
2: The Conclusion had released on approximately Rs 6500 screens, 2.0 will
be seeing a wide 6600-6800 screen count.
And now a week ahead of the
release, the runtime of the movie has been revealed. According to a report in
India Today, the runtime of 2.0 is said to be 148 minutes
which is 2 hours and 28 minutes. Which makes it shorter than its prequel Robot. The
first part was 167 minutes (2 hours and 47 minutes) long. Not just that it also
makes 2.0 director Shankar's shortest film to date. His
longest film so far is Vikram starrer I at 188 minutes (3
hours and 8 minutes).
It is interesting to see
Shankar's costliest film is his shortest which also means that we can
expect 2.0 to be taut.
The field of robotics is
fast-growing. Robots can now perform complicated movements with elegance
-- back-flipping,
practicing parkour moves, even "carving" classical sculptures.
Then there's Sophia, a robot
whose widespread appeal lies not in big, dramatic actions (her torso is often
fixed to a rolling base), but rather an unsettling human-like appearance,
compounded with the complex ability to express emotions.
"We're not fully there yet,
but Sophia can represent a number of emotional states, and she can also see
emotional expressions on a human face as well," explains David Hanson, the
founder of Hanson Robotics.
The firm has developed a number
of Sophias at their small research and design laboratory in Hong Kong, where
parts and pieces of Sophia 20, 21 and 22 remain strewn across the facility.
According to Hanson, Sophia now
has simulations of every major muscle in the human face, allowing her to
generate expressions of joy, grief, curiosity, confusion, contemplation,
sorrow, frustration, among other feelings.
"In some of the work we're
doing, she will see your expressions and sort of match a little bit and also
try to understand in her own way, what it is you might be feeling," says
Hanson.

Hanson Robotics, to generate an astounding number of human-like facial
expressions. Credit: FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/AFP/Getty Images
Besides deep learning and a
pre-programmed set of expressions, Sophia's face is constructed using the
latest developments in material technology, meaning it appears softer, more
supple and therefore, more realistic. The lab also studies the neurobiology and
biology of human facial expressions to help inform how mechanical ones can
behave.
"She is a tool for science in
studying human to human interaction, and she's now a platform for allowing AI
to express natural-like human emotional state(s), which is something we're
developing. True emotive AI," says Hanson.
Universal appeal
When Hanson first began sculpting
Sophia, he wanted her form to resonate with people from around the world. To
that end, he looked to old statues of Nefertiti, ancient Chinese paintings,
Audrey Hepburn and even his wife as inspiration. But he also wanted to maintain
something of a robot sensibility, too.
"It was very important that
she represent this intersection of humanity and technology, with the intuitive
idea that technology can enhance humanity, help us actualize to higher states
of being," says Hanson.
"At the same time,
(technology can) provoke these questions: What does it mean to be human? What
is real, what isn't real? What is the reality of our future which does not yet
exist?"

Since her activation in 2016,
Sophia has since graced the covers of fashion publications and starred in a
recent Moncler campaign. During an event at Shanghai Fashion Weekend, Sophia
wore 3-D copper arm cuffs and sculptural garments designed by British artist
Sadie Clayton.
"The reason I was interested
in working with Sophia is because being an artist, it fuses fashion, art and
technology. This was the most natural, organic way of me developing my
process," says Clayton.
"I think she is so stunning
in her right. And the expressions that she gives, it's a really beautiful, warm
feeling."

Besides modeling, she has made
appeared on talk shows and spoken at conferences about issues ranging from
artificial intelligence to the role of robots. Controversially,
she was even granted Saudi Arabian citizenship, becoming the first robot to
have a nationality.
"She's the one robot of the
dozens of robots I have designed, that has become really internationally
famous," says Hanson.
"I don't know what it is
about Sophia, that speaks to people, but I hope that we can develop our AI and
robots in a way that makes a deep emotional connection."
