An expert from SCREEN’s review of the movie read, “Vishwanath and Sons is not a perfect film. But it is also honest, well-performed, funny and emotionally rooted in a way that most mainstream family dramas simply are not in today’s age. There are no villains to fight, no worlds to save and no mass-interval blocks. The film asks you to sit with its characters, feel what they feel and leave the theatre feeling a little better than when you walked in. It mostly succeeds at that.” The warmth that defines Vishwanath and Sons was also evident in director Venky Atluri’s message to his cast and crew ahead of the release. An excerpt from his post read, “Suriya sir… Thank you for trusting me with Sanjay Vishwanath and bringing him to life with so much warmth, charm and soul. Working with you is an experience I’ll cherish forever. Mamitha… You brought such freshness, energy and emotion to the film and made your character truly special. Radhika ma’am… Your grace, experience and presence added so much depth to our film. Raveena ma’am… Your elegance & warmth added another beautiful dimension to our world. Thankyou Nassar garu, Sudha garu, Sarvadaman garu, Raghubabu garu, Sunil Reddy anna, Hyper Aadhi and my dearest Charvik.” Live Updates Aug 16, 2026 08:25 AM IST Suriya thanks fans for love and support for Vishwanathan and Sons Actor Suriya Sivakumar expressed his gratitude to fans for the overwhelming love showered on his recently released film Vishwanathan and Sons.

RanchiUpdated: Aug 15, 2026 04:58 PM IST Fasting leader Devendra Nath Mahato joined protesters in an ambulance. The JLKM leader – who has lost 10.5 kg after fasting for nine days – carried a portrait of former chief minister Shibu Soren on August 10.Jharkhand protest leader Devendra Nath Mahato, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike over alleged irregularities in JPSC-JSSC exams, on Saturday claimed he was not allowed to leave Ranchi’s Sadar Hospital on Independence Day to attend the flag-hoisting ceremony at the protest site. He also alleged that he had been kept under police watch at the hospital for the past four days. Earlier in the day, a video had surfaced showing Mahato, Tricolour in hand, attempting to get out of his hospital room as a few personnel try to stop him.Mahato, who has been on a hunger strike for the last two weeks, told The Indian Express that he had sought permission from the authorities to attend the Independence Day programme with the protesting students but was not allowed to leave the hospital. He alleged that police deployment outside his room was increased from the night of August 14 and that he was stopped when he sought to leave on Saturday. The administration, however, said Mahato had not been detained, adding he was not being prevented from leaving for any reason other than his medical condition. A senior official said Mahato was undergoing treatment and that he needed to prioritise his health before being allowed to leave the hospital. Mahato had written to the civil surgeon and the in-charge medical officer of Sadar Hospital on August 12, seeking permission to go to the protest site. In the letter, Mahato said his indefinite hunger strike had completed many days and that he wanted to continue the “just struggle” against alleged corruption in Jharkhand Public Service Commission-Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JPSC-JSSC) recruitment. He said he had been brought to Sadar Hospital by ambulance after being injured in the police action during the protesters’ march towards the Jharkhand Assembly on August 10. “Thousands of students and youths of Jharkhand are standing with me in this struggle for their future, rights and justice,” Mahato wrote in the application. He said being away from the protesters at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium was causing him greater mental distress than his physical discomfort. No one has detained him: Police “My body is under treatment in the hospital, but my resolve and commitment are with the students who are fighting for their future,” he said, requesting permission to go to the protest site. He also said he would follow all necessary instructions and precautions given by the doctors.Story continues below this ad According to Mahato’s associate, an application had also been submitted to the authorities seeking administrative permission for him to attend the Independence Day flag-hoisting ceremony. However, permission was not granted. He claimed that Mahato had offered to take responsibility for his own health while leaving the hospital, but was still not allowed to go. “We have recorded a video where Mahato is seen being pushed back by the police and forcibly stopped,” he said. A police official posted at the hospital said Mahato was stopped due to his deteriorating health condition. “No one has detained him. It is his health due to which he is not being allowed to go anywhere,” the official added. Since July 25, students have been protesting at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in the state capital, demanding action over alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC examinations. The state government has announced the cancellation of JPSC 14th, including backlog of 2023 and 2025 examinations, and ordered probes into alleged irregularities.
