The BBC has sent a legal threat to Perplexity, citing allegations that the AI startup is scraping the British national broadcaster’s content.

In one of its first major copyright interventions in the AI age, the BBC claimed that Perplexity’s ChatGPT-style search tool was “trained using BBC content.”

The corporation outlined its concerns in a letter seen by the Financial Times newspaper. The BBC confirmed that a legal warning had been issued, but declined to comment beyond the contents of the letter.

The broadcaster demanded that San Francisco-based Perplexity cease its use of BBC content, deletes copies of material, and offers “financial compensation” for the alleged IP infringement.

Perplexity has been approached for comment. The company told the Ft that the BBC’s claims were “manipulative and opportunistic,” showcasing a “fundamental misunderstanding” of tech and IP laws.

Perplexity added that the BBC’s legal letter shows “how far the...

Sarangapani Jathakam Hits Ott(Photo Credit –Facebook)

After a decent run in theatres, the Telugu film Sarangapani Jathakam makes its digital debut. Starring Priyadarshi in the central role, the comedy drama is now available to stream. The movie was released in theaters on April 25 and was appreciated for its lighthearted narrative and lively performance.

Directed by Mohanakrishna Indraganti and produced by Sivalenka Krishna Prasad under the banner of Sridevi Movies, Sarangapani Jathakam is a story about a common man’s faith in astrology and how it changes his life in unexpected ways. Balancing comedy, emotions, and suspense, and keeping the story grounded in reality, the film is an engaging experience.

When & Where To Watch

Sarangapani Jathakam is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video starting May 23, 2025, as per OTTplay. According to a well-known Twitter account called Ott Trackers, the movie is available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

For those of us who had given up on hearing the genuine sound of laughter in movie theatres, here is hope. Subham is a farm-fresh funny free-fall on the pitfalls of television-serial obsession circa the 1990s when Ekta Kapoor was the queen of home entertainment.

Subham could be seen as a slanted homage to Ekta Kapoor’s stronghold on television audiences at one time. I remember how addicted my 9-year-old daughter was to Kahani Ghar Ghar ki (8.30 pm weekdays), followed by Kyunki…Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi at 9 pm. She would throw a fit if, God and Ekta Kapoor (which were the one and the same when it came to televised offerings) frowned on the satellite space and if, gulp, the telecast of the nation’s hope-dope soap was affected.

Hansal Mehta’s Aligarh, which featured Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao, celebrates nine years since its release on the big screen. Subhash K Jha revisits the music and the movie.

In the acutely thought-provoking em>Aligarh, which is about a homosexual man’s right to privacy, Manoj Bajpayee playing the disgraced professor Shrinivas Ramchandra Sirus, sits alone in his dingy one-bedroom professor’s quarter, with a drink in hand and a Lata Mangeshkar song by his side.

In the semi-darkness, in a room lit by dim hope, Srinivas listens to the Melody Queen’s ‘Aap ki nazron nesamjha pyaar ke qaabil mujhe’, that timeless Madan Mohan composition from the film Anpadh. The song plays on a rickety portable sound machine. But its sound resonates across the professor’s silent universe, like a melodic meteor cutting through a sky of solitude.

It’s a life-defining moment. Director Hansal Mehta holds the...

Coming-of-age narratives have long been a staple of cinema. The triumphs and turbulences young people go through on their way from adolescence to adulthood often make for uniquely relatable and interesting watches. The adolescent years are often times of great change and confusion, and films that portray that well can be incredibly cathartic to watch. Coming-of-age films centering on girls often deal with, besides the usual topics of growth, change, ambition, relationships, etc, confrontations with gendered expectations and societal standards. Of course, these experiences vary a lot based on culture, socio-economic status, and circumstance, and so I’ve included a wide range of picks across different languages for this list. Most of these movies that explore girlhood are also directed by women, which brings in a sense of authenticity in depiction.

Director Shuchi Talati’s directorial debut Girls Will Be Girls ,now streaming on Prime Video, is a bit of an event. Just when we thought women were done saying whatever they had to, here comes a yummy year-ender.

Tender, thoughtful, forthright—sometimes embarrassingly so—and forever moving at its own volition, Girls Will Be Girls is a rarity: a film about women that doesn’t waste time pointing fingers at men for the flaws in gender dynamics.

Straightaway, lets give the devis their due in this slender and sensitive mother-daughter fable. Though Kani Kusruti and newcomer Preeti Panigrahi don’t look like mother and daughter—they don’t have to, I concede that—their creative commonality creeps out of every frame. These two playing mom Anila and daughter Mira, know one another in and out. The dramatic tension that flows symbiotically is just an organic offshoot of a relationship that...

“Girls Will Be Girls” (2024) marks an illustrious debut feature by Shuchi Talati— a homage to the yearning and gravity of girlhood against the backdrop of a meticulously structured Himachali co-educational institution. Talati artfully navigates the labyrinthine landscape of academic rivalries, illicit romantic encounters, drab uniforms, and the ever-present specter of disciplinary retribution. Employing the intimate confines of the 4:3 aspect ratio, Talati engages in the somber and often heartbreaking realities confronting women whose sexualities have been generationally stifled. With a deft hand, “Girls Will Be Girls” offers a dignity often denied to women protagonists treading sexual transgressions.

The film eschews simplistic moral judgments, neither vindicating nor demonizing their choices. Instead, it astutely posits that shame itself is the primary antagonist that stifles sexual expression and authenticity. Produced by Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha, this debut feature pulses unmistakably with female gaze. The influence of its predominantly female crew is keenly felt,...

On Monday, News Corp. filed a lawsuit against the artificial intelligence firm Perplexity, arguing that the AI-generated search company infringed on its copyrights by ingesting its work and repackaging it to its users.

On Wednesday, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas appeared at a News Corp. conference, where he sought to address “the elephant in the room” right at the top of his conversation.

Based on the 2017 Korean movie “New Trial”, “Birbal” is the first installment of the Birbal Trilogy and the first installment in a cinematic universe followed by Ghost in which M. G. Srinivas, who is also the director, reprises his role as lawyer Mahesh Das.

Where to watch

In Bangalore, Mahesh is the one who stands out from an audition for young lawyers, taking place in a law firm headed by Hedge. The young man, along with Jahnvi, his fiance who also works for the company and Shastry, an assistant who is more cheeky than he should, take up the case of Vishnu. The young man, 8 years ago, was suspected of killing Ramdas, a taxi driver and a police informer, was arrested by Inspector Raghavan and was eventually imprisoned. Now that the case is reopened, he has been released awaiting the trial, and Mahesh and his collaborators are handling his case.

In the upcoming episodes of ‘Wagle Ki Duniya’, the doctor delivered the heartbreaking news to the Wagles that Srinivas’ (Aanjjan Srivastav) condition is critical, and he requires a costly operation to treat his massive heart blockage.

Rajesh (Sumeet Raghavan) and the family are facing the challenging task of raising a substantial sum of money for the surgery. Despite Srinivas’ reluctance to burden his children with debt, Rajesh is determined to save his father’s life at any cost. With emotions running high and Srinivas’ life hanging in the balance, Rajesh sets on a mission to secure the funds before it’s too late.

Speaking about the upcoming episode, Sumeet said: “In moments like these, family bonds are tested like never before. Rajesh’s struggle is not just about arranging funds, but it’s a testament to the love and responsibility he holds towards his father. Srinivas’ presence is very important for the entire Wagle family,...

“And the air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Big Things lurk unsaid inside.” Those words, from Arundhati Roy’s 1997 novel The God of Small Things, come to mind while watching Shuchi Talati’s Girls Will Be Girls, a coming-of-age tale about a teenage girl who’s trying to navigate her newfound romantic feelings, burgeoning sexual desires, and longstanding familial tensions in a society where none of these things can be spoken about openly. Through its tender storytelling, complex characters, and intimate, tactile camerawork, Talati’s impressive debut feature manages to make all of these unspoken elements ring out loud and clear.

Sixteen-year-old Mira (Preeti Panigrahi) is the star student at a strict boarding school nestled in the Himalayan foothills. She’s the first female Head Prefect in the school’s history, thanks to both her...

A mother and daughter both come of age in “Girls Will Be Girls,” Shuchi Talati’s gentle English-Hindi high school drama set in the Himalayan foothills. In this engrossing feature debut about angst and desire, the draconian Indian boarding school setting robs its teen protagonist of the language to express (or fully understand) her burgeoning sexuality. Talati, however, fills in those wordless blanks with images both graceful and precise, yielding breathtaking tension when the boundaries between her mother and her boyfriend begin to blur.

At the start of 12th grade, 16-year-old Mira (Preeti Panigrahi) is the first girl at her institution ever named Head Prefect, a title earned for her impeccable academic record. The prestigious appointment comes with duties that involve reprimanding her friends and peers, either because their uniforms aren’t up to code, or because the girls have been spending too much time hanging around the boys (who...

For many of our generation and before, the name Veerappan was synonymous with terror and fear. It would remind cinemagoers of Gabbar Singh in the cult classic film Sholay, who rolled out intimidation tactics through his actions. The difference would be that Veerappan existed in flesh and blood. He created a sense of fear in the Andhra-Karnataka-Kerala-Tamil Nadu region from the late 1980s until the 2000s, and no government could find a way to make him abandon his life of crime. Directed by Sharath Jothi, Koose Munisamy Veerappan, the Zee5 documentary chronicles the life of the dreaded sandalwood smuggler Veerappan, from being a mere thief to living the life of a criminal in the deep forests of South India.

New Delhi, Aug 31 (Ians) The Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Aiims), M. Srinivas, has taken note of the issues being faced in the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (Ab-pmjay) at the premier institute in Delhi and directed to provide seamless health services to the beneficiaries.

Srinivas issued the direction during a meeting convened to discuss and tackle the issues hampering the effective execution of the Ab-pmjay at Aiims.

The issues Srinivas discussed with the key stakeholders and experts included biometric authentication at discharge, reducing local purchases and

reimbursement process optimisation, among others.

“The need for mandatory biometric authentication at the time of patient discharge was stressed. Nursing staff have been directed to ensure that PMAMs (Pradhan Mantri Arogya Mitras) at the Ayushman Kendra are informed, and authentication is carried out before patients are discharged. Accountability measures for non-compliance were emphasised,” Aiims authorities said on Thursday.

New Delhi, Aug 2 (Ians) All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Aiims) Director, M. Srinivas on Wednesday called for debunking misconceptions surrounding organ donation, and stressed on the need to cultivate a positive attitude within society towards this crucial cause.

Srinivas made the appeal at a donor felicitation programme at Orbo, Aiims here.

He also shed light on the pressing issue of patients losing their lives annually due to the scarcity of organs and tissues for transplantation.

Dean, Aiims, Minu Bajpai, who was also present, congratulated the vital role of Orbo in facilitating seamless organ transplantation and expressed gratitude to the donors and their families, calling them the true heroes.

Bajpai urged continued support for organ donation, emphasising its significance as a beacon of hope for those in need of a second chance at life.

The programme was dedicated to felicitating eight donor families.

The emotional and heartfelt ceremony brought together donor families,...

New Delhi, April 24 (Ians) Leading gaming platform CEOs on Monday expressed their grave concerns over the ‘extortionist’ 30 per cent tax imposed by Google on gaming apps in the country.

Mandatory in-app purchases force consumers to pay only through their payment systems, which involves a commission fee of up to 30 per cent.

Sai Srinivas, Co-founder and CEO, Mobile Premier League (Mpl) highlighted that the 30 per cent commission may be viable in advanced markets like the US, but for India, it is crucial to ensure that Indian game developers receive more revenue to invest in game development and build more games.

If a developer charges Rs 100, Rs 30 goes to the play store or app store and Rs 70 goes to the developer. From that Rs 70, they have to pay for hosting, user acquisition, and other expenses.

“My view is that we should provide Indian game developers with more revenue to invest in game development and build more games,...
