Only seven people have survived after an Air India Express plane from Dubai with 166 persons on board the Boeing aircraft crashed and caught fire today after it overshot the runway and ploughed into the forest area while trying to land at the Mangalore airport

The state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800, which was inducted on January 15, 2008 and piloted by British national of Serbian origin Capt Zlatko Glusica, had 160 passengers and a six-member crew on board the budget carrier, flight IX-812. The passengers included four infants.

Glusica (55) had 10,000 hours of flying experience, an official said.

Since this list is not adjusted for inflation, it tends to favour films in more recent years with nearly eighty-seven percent of the films in the top 30 being released after 2000; an inflation-adjusted list can be found below. Films released prior to 1994 do not appear in the list because inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends are not considered. Figures are given in Indian rupees.[1]

Heath Ledger won the supporting-actor Academy Award for “The Dark Knight,” while best-picture favorite “Slumdog Millionaire” cruised to six wins in an Oscar evening that was following the script of earlier Hollywood honors where the underdog tale dominated.

Penelope Cruz claimed the evening’s first prize, supporting actress, for her role as a tempestuous artist in Woody Allen’s Spanish romance “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” while the robot romance “WALL-E” won for feature-length animation.

For his demented reinvention of Batman villain the Joker, Ledger became only the second actor ever to win posthumously, his triumph coming exactly 13 months after his death from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs on Oscar nominations day last year.

I haven’t watched it, but based on many reviews, it really deserves the Academy Award

Slumdog has ten Oscar nominations, not as many as Benjamin Button, which leads with thirteen. However, having captured top honors at every awards show to date, Slumdog Millionaire is easily the favorite to win the Academy Award for best picture.

Slumdog Millionaire, the little $14 million picture shot in the slums of India, is on it’s way to grossing $100 million. “I’d never been to India,” says Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle. “Because India is a democracy, the slums have become incredibly powerful places politically. They have a lot of people in them. There are a lot of votes in a small area.”

A.R. Rahman got the double awards for best music and song:

Indian music director AR Rahman’s score for Slumdog Millionaire has won an Oscar for best music, and a second for best song. The BBC’s Soutik Biswas discusses what makes Rahman tick.

… the jingle maker-turned-musician has finally got recognition as India’s first truly global film music composer with his score for Danny Boyle’s sleeper hit Slumdog Millionaire.

The score is an untidy smorgasbord of hip hop, Bollywood remix and signature pop anthem. But it works because it follows the film’s giddy pace, the darkness of its characters, its portrayal of lives on the edge.

Pakistan’s prime minister has dismissed the significance of a dossier handed over by India about the Mumbai attacks, saying it was just information and “not evidence.

With a flurry of raids, Pakistan took many of those steps this week. Now it’s up to India to do what it likes least: share intelligence with its archrival about what it knows and how it knows it.

Keeping the alleged plotters in jail will require unprecedented investigative cooperation across a border mined with distrust and suspicion, and the onus has shifted to India.

Pakistani authorities say they will prosecute in their own courts anyone linked to the three-day siege in Mumbai that left 164 dead — they just need the proof.

“Our own investigations cannot proceed beyond a certain point without provision of credible information and evidence,” said Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. more.
