Thats the problem which my dear country is facing due to the 2 bigots and their blind bhakts. Muslims are not treated as second class citizens of India but are treated as anti nationals along with who sympathizes with them, with all of them are asked to go to Pakistan.

Why does he use the f word so many time? Seems his parents didn't teach him manners, or they tried but he didn't learn.

I am with you on this. Discrimination against muslims, mob lynching are becoming part of our culture now. News like these doesn't even surprise us anymore.

That's weird. Just on another thread a bro of yours is telling us how Hindu's are so peaceful. How there is no such thing as blasphemy in the Hindu faith. Hindutva terrorists killing there Muslim's must be coz Salman and Shahrukh Khan are to wealthy not because Muslim's eat meat.

Mob lynching is just a law and order problem. Where there is vacuum created by lack of law, mob justice will fill the space. It is water finding its own level.

as sir sayyid ahmad khan said, hindus and muslims can only co-exist peacefully when one overpowers the other. right now there is hindu renaissance vs muslim resistance. you will see peace when one of them overpowers the other.

When Irrfan Khan passed away due to cancer last year, Bollywood and Hollywood mourned the loss of such a stellar actor. One of the finest in his craft, Khan was touted to have gone too soon, as many paid rich tributes to him. Stars from the Pakistani film industry celebrated the Angrezi Medium star as well.
Adnan Siddiqui, who had worked with Khan on A Mighty Heart – a true story based on the life and death of American journalist Daniel Pearl - had often spoken about the late Indian superstar’s acting prowess. A year on, the Sammi alum has taken to Instagram once again to share a throwback video of Khan with his wife from the shooting of the Angelina Jolie starrer in Pune, all those years ago.
“It would be an affront to both Pakistan and India if its citizens, while working together, don’t turn their workplace into a cricket ground. Obviously, our sports rivalry for the Gentleman’s Game is too prominent to be ignored, even on film sets. When I was shooting for A Mighty Heart in Pune, Irrfan sahab and I often indulged in long-drawn discussions on cricket and Indo- Pak matches played previously, each offering his own expertise on what should have been," Siddiqui began. "This was the only instance when he would forget that I was a ‘guest’ from sarhad paar (across the border) who should be treated with kid’s gloves, and get into vociferous arguments on how brilliant Indian players were and the command they had over the game."
He further recalled, "In those conversations, I could feel that he wanted to challenge me to a game, both of us being ardent players. And then one day, he dropped the bomb. 'Let’s have a match,' he said. Soon enough, the backyard of the hotel where we were staying turned into a local Lords, with arch-rivals taking on each other."
Siddiqui went on, "This was also my time to bowl him over — something I couldn’t do in acting as he left me stumped every time. My bowling experience came in handy and I took his wicket not once but thrice! How could Irrfan sahab, representing India, let this slide? He muttered something like ‘Baap baap hota hai,’ vowing to avenge his wicket. He was determined and so was I. For once, the scales tilted in my favour and I still can’t stop gloating about it."
Concluding his note, the Mom actor shared how the video made him reminisce the good times. "This video took me back to Pune and to simpler times, when we could have after-parties without masks and SOPs in place, when artists weren’t shackled by borders and political agendas," he commented, "Irrfan sahab with his wife Sutapa Sikdar and son Ayaan at the after party of A Mighty Heart at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai."
Previously, on Khan's first death anniversary last month, Siddiqui couldn’t help but get emotional. “Outstanding actor, human being par excellence,” began the Yeh Dil Mera star at the time. “Irrfan bhai, I must have done something right in my life to have known you professionally and personally. Your vacuum in the cinematic world remains as stark, even after a year.” On multiple platforms, Siddiqui has expressed his grief over Khan’s untimely demise that left him “gutted and disturbed.” Previously, he had tweeted, “A fine soul gone too soon.”
Khan lost his life to neuroendocrine cancer in April of last year, leaving several loved ones and fans grieving forever. To mark the anniversary of his death, Sikdar and his son Babil also took to social media to pen heartfelt tributes. In a touching note, the latter spoke of his father’s legacy and how he found joy in the little things. “To the greatest best friend, companion, brother and father I ever had and ever will... I love you so much for the rest of this chaos, we are choosing to call life. I miss you.”
Sikdar, on the other hand, recalled Khan’s last moments before passing away. “How exactly does one swim this huge ocean of time? The clock stopped at 11:11 on April 29 for me.”

One of the finest in his craft, Khan was touted to have gone too soon, as many paid rich tributes to him. Stars from the Pakistani film industry celebrated the Angrezi Medium star as well.
Adnan Siddiqui, who had worked with Khan on A Mighty Heart – a true story based on the life and death of American journalist Daniel Pearl - had often spoken about the late Indian superstar’s acting prowess. A year on, the Sammi alum has taken to Instagram once again to share a throwback video of Khan with his wife from the shooting of the Angelina Jolie starrer in Pune, all those years ago.
“It would be an affront to both Pakistan and India if its citizens, while working together, don’t turn their workplace into a cricket ground. Obviously, our sports rivalry for the Gentleman’s Game is too prominent to be ignored, even on film sets. When I was shooting for A Mighty Heart in Pune, Irrfan sahab and I often indulged in long-drawn discussions on cricket and Indo- Pak matches played previously, each offering his own expertise on what should have been," Siddiqui began. "This was the only instance when he would forget that I was a ‘guest’ from sarhad paar (across the border) who should be treated with kid’s gloves, and get into vociferous arguments on how brilliant Indian players were and the command they had over the game."
He further recalled, "In those conversations, I could feel that he wanted to challenge me to a game, both of us being ardent players. And then one day, he dropped the bomb. 'Let’s have a match,' he said. Soon enough, the backyard of the hotel where we were staying turned into a local Lords, with arch-rivals taking on each other."
Siddiqui went on, "This was also my time to bowl him over — something I couldn’t do in acting as he left me stumped every time. My bowling experience came in handy and I took his wicket not once but thrice! How could Irrfan sahab, representing India, let this slide? He muttered something like ‘Baap baap hota hai,’ vowing to avenge his wicket. He was determined and so was I. For once, the scales tilted in my favour and I still can’t stop gloating about it."
Concluding his note, the Mom actor shared how the video made him reminisce the good times. "This video took me back to Pune and to simpler times, when we could have after-parties without masks and SOPs in place, when artists weren’t shackled by borders and political agendas," he commented, "Irrfan sahab with his wife Sutapa Sikdar and son Ayaan at the after party of A Mighty Heart at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai."
Previously, on Khan's first death anniversary last month, Siddiqui couldn’t help but get emotional. “Outstanding actor, human being par excellence,” began the Yeh Dil Mera star at the time. “Irrfan bhai, I must have done something right in my life to have known you professionally and personally. Your vacuum in the cinematic world remains as stark, even after a year.” On multiple platforms, Siddiqui has expressed his grief over Khan’s untimely demise that left him “gutted and disturbed.” Previously, he had tweeted, “A fine soul gone too soon.”
Khan lost his life to neuroendocrine cancer in April of last year, leaving several loved ones and fans grieving forever. To mark the anniversary of his death, Sikdar and his son Babil also took to social media to pen heartfelt tributes. In a touching note, the latter spoke of his father’s legacy and how he found joy in the little things. “To the greatest best friend, companion, brother and father I ever had and ever will... I love you so much for the rest of this chaos, we are choosing to call life. I miss you.”
Sikdar, on the other hand, recalled Khan’s last moments before passing away. “How exactly does one swim this huge ocean of time? The clock stopped at 11:11 on April 29 for me.”

Everything about Murder At Teesri Manzil 302, a long-delayed Irrfan Khan starrer that Zee5 has found space for, has obsolescence emblazoned all across it. But for the lead actor, whose admirers are legion and who will always be missed, the film has little that could explain why it has been retrieved from cold storage - it was scheduled for release all of a decade ago as Bangkok Blues - and foisted upon us. Murder at Teesri Manzil 302 is dead on arrival.
Irrfan's presence in the film, besides inducing an inevitable twinge, reminds us, if a reminder were at all needed, of the enormity of the loss that his absence represents. Even in the sloppiest of scenes in a puerile and messy suspense thriller, the actor does not lose his poise and finds ways to pull away from the mediocrity swirling around him.
The film is dedicated to both Irrfan and music composer Wajid Khan, one half of the Sajid-Wajid duo who died in 2020 two months after the much-loved actor. Unfortunately, Murder at Teesri Manzil 302 is too stodgy a film to be regarded as a fitting remembrance. Murder At Teesri Manzil 302 is, as the unwieldy title suggests, a murder mystery. It quickly murders any potential of developing into a passably engaging whodunnit. Any mystery that remains pertains to the star of The Namesake, Life... in a Metro and Paan Singh Tomar. What would have made him acquiesce to be a part of a movie such as this?
"It is like a blind date," Irrfan's character in the film says in a scene. We would have given it a miss had he not been involved. The terribly underwritten character that he plays spouts lines like "Bandhi hui aurat kitni khubsoorat lagti hai na?" The rough translation of the line would be, doesn't a woman in shackles look beautiful? We know exactly what to do with that question and, one can safely presume, so did the actor. Irrfan's bafflement shows on the screen.
Directed by Navneet Baj Saini, Murder At Teesri Manzil 302 unfolds primarily in two adjoining apartments in a Bangkok building block inhabited by Indians and where everybody speaks Hindi. In fact, the film would have us believe that everybody in the Thai capital uses our rashtra bhasha as a means of verbal communication.
Wonder why they all had to go all the way to Thailand to make a film that could have been rustled up in Mumbai itself without the script being altered one bit. Mumbai's local trains could have easily stood in for Bangkok's BTS. The streets and sights of Thailand do not even provide a meaningful backdrop for the story.
The story? Well, that is another story. The disjointed screenplay meanders merrily between the banal and the contrived without striving for any kind of believable psychological underpinning. Lies, subterfuge, betrayals, greed, violence: Murder At Teesri Manzil 302 is an ungainly pile-up of the usual suspense thriller tropes trotted out without a semblance of sense.
Maya (Deepal Shaw), the wife of a leading Bangkok industrialist Abhishek Diwan (Ranvir Shorey, who, too, is barely able to disguise a permanent befuddled look) goes missing. Two cops (Lucky Ali and Nausheen Ali Sardar, neither of whom is particularly active as actors anymore) are deployed to find out where on earth the lady has disappeared.
The plainclothes duo vanishes from the scene once they have done their token groundwork. They surface infrequently to register their presence in a film in which they are redundant. The police in Murder At Teesri Manzil 302 are compelled to take a backseat as the cat-and-mouse game turns to a battle of wits between the kidnapped and kidnapper. Neither the battle nor the wits on display is even half decent.
Turns out that Shekhar Sharma (Irrfan), a small-time go-to man for Indians in trouble in Bangkok (yes, that is his full-time occupation), has a hand in the woman's disappearance. There is an extra-marital affair, a secret deal and a murdered woman in here - the how and why of it add up to a insufferably laboured and completely unconvincing affair.
The remainder of Murder At Teesri Manzil is devoted to revealing how a man who claims to have a solution for every problem is embroiled in the messed-up lives of a wealthy and wicked entrepreneur and his wily wife. The two-hour film flits back and forth between a half-baked conspiracy and an unsuspecting man caught in the muddle that it sparks.
It is sad to see the incredible Irrfan Khan trapped in a script that does not possess the wherewithal to do justice to his talent. It is left entirely to the actor to make the most of a lousy deal - a job that he does without breaking a sweat.
Ranvir Shorey shows sparks of brilliance only to the extent that the insipid screenplay will allow him to, which, as you would have guessed by now, isn't much to write home about. Deepal Shaw is out of her depth as she navigates her way between an incredible Irrfan and a solid Shorey - when she isn't strident, she is sickly saccharine, neither of which can help her arouse any sort of audience empathy for a woman torn between what she wants and how quickly she wants it.
Is Murder At Teesri Manzil 302 worth its two hours? No. Towards the end of the film, Irrfan's character says: "Ummeed hai film pasand aayi hogi (I hope you liked the film)." Indeed, this is a film that is out here only in the hope of cashing in on the exceptional standing that Irrfan enjoyed as a screen performer. Do yourself - and Irrfan's memory - a favour. Pick any other film from actor's varied and substantial oeuvre and watch it.
