On August 22, anonymous fashion blogger Diet Sabya shared an exclusive video of Janhvi on Instagram, captioning it: “Are we ready for the (Neo) sari gown comeback??? Janhvi wearing Amit Aggarwal couture, a custom take on the legendary Madras checks.”

Janhvi can be seen wearing a stunning Madras check saree that’s anything but traditional. This contemporary, couture-inspired take on the classic check pattern transforms into a neo-sari gown silhouette, perfectly blending the elegance of draped Indian wear with the structure of a modern gown.

The usually vibrant, summery Madras checks are reimagined in a mix of pastel and jewel tones, giving the look a fresh, fashion-forward edge. The draping is unconventional, the pallu and pleats are fused into a flowy yet tailored ensemble that flatters Janhvi’s frame beautifully.

How she styled her look

Assisted by celebrity fashion stylist Ami Patel, Janhvi accessorised her look with heritage jewels, including statement earrings, a choker necklace, and a bold ring adorning her finger. Makeup artist Savleen Kaur Manchanda enhanced her look with shimmery eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, flushed cheeks, plenty of highlighter, and a glossy pink lipstick. Her luscious tresses were tied in a neat bun and adorned with beautiful flowers, completing the look perfectly.

How internet reacted

Janhvi’s post quickly caught attention online, racking up tons of likes and comments. While some viewers appreciated her look, others were critical. One user wrote, “Method styling k chakkar mei the jewellery has gone down the drain.” Another added, “PC, Bebo have done this before.” One commented, “It’s giving something, just not sure what,” while another said, “This jewellery is not working in this look.” Some were more blunt: “Horrible jewellery. Gorgeous sari,” and another quipped, “My nana used to wear this dhoti.”

Coolie producer approaches Madras HC to challenge Rajinikanth film’s A certificate from CBFC for ‘celebrating violence’

After watching Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, many were surprised why the film was awarded an A certificate.

The producer of Coolie, Sun TV Network Limited’s Sun Pictures, has approached the Madras High Court to challenge the A certificate granted to the Rajinikanth film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A report by The Hindu states that the producer was ‘shocked’ upon receiving an email from the certification board that their film ‘celebrated violence’.

Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and stars Rajinikanth in the lead role.

Coolie producer approaches HC over A certificate

The A certificate given to Coolie meant that people under 18 could not watch the film in theatres. The production firm filed a civil miscellaneous appeal against the CBFC’s decision. It was pointed out that anyone who applies for a film certification can appeal before the tribunal within 30 days. Coolie was released in theatres on 14 August with an A certificate, and the film’s producers chose to release it before challenging the certification.

In the grounds of appeal, Sun Pictures had said that it produced Coolie to celebrate Rajinikanth completing 50 years in cinema and that the film had become a ‘mega blockbuster’. However, when they applied for the CBFC certification on 28 July, they claimed that they received a response on 31 July that the movie was ‘celebrating violence’ and would hence be given an A certificate. A revising committee also issued an A certificate for the film on 4 August.

Sun Pictures also questioned the CBFC for giving a U/A certificate for movies like Yash-starrer KGF and Vijay-starrer Beast, as those films had more violence than Coolie did.

About Coolie

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, Upendra and Aamir Khan. The film tells the story of Deva (Rajinikanth), who is looking for answers after the sudden death of his friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj). Numerous people on social media wondered why Coolie had gotten an A certificate, given that it didn’t have more violence than any other commercial cinema.
