Movie Theaters To Stop Showing Hindi Films



Nepali cinema halls have decided to stop showing Hindi films from Monday. The decision comes a few days after CPN-Maoist decided to ban screening of Hindi movies across the country.
Multiplex operator QFX has decided to close all its theaters indefinitely from Monday. “We have decided to close all our theaters from Monday,” Basanta Manandhar, distribution manager of QFX, told Republica. “We are forced to close our theaters because we do not have any quality Nepali movie right now.”
QFX operates QFX Jainepal in Hattisar, QFX Kumari in Kamalpokhari and QFX Central at Civil Mall, Sundhara. Another multiplex, BigCinemas, however, another multiplex, Big Cinemas at City Center, will operate with only one theater from Monday.
“We will close two of our theaters for an indefinite period. In one theater, we will be showing Nepali movie Facebook,” said Bharat Singh, country manager of Big Cinemas. “We will have to face a huge loss if we are not allowed to show Hindi movies,” Singh said without disclosing the loss amount.
Gwarko-based Guna Cinemas has not decided whether it would show Nepali movies or close all its theaters. “We will decide by Monday morning,” Shambhu Sitaula, marketing manager of Guna Cinemas, said.
Gopi Krishna Movies, however, plans to open all its theaters. “We won´t close the theaters; we will show Nepali movies in our six theaters,” Pradeep Dahal, manager of Gopi Krishna Movies, said.
One theater of Gopi Krishna Movies is currently undergoing maintenance.
Cinema operators have said the ban on screening of Hindi movies will create a huge loss to them. They say all the theaters will eventually shut down if the decision is not withdrawn.

iphone 5 release









NEW YORK, Sept 24: Apple Inc. said Monday that it has sold more than 5 million units of the new iPhone 5 in the three days since its launch, less than analysts had expected.

Apple shares were down $15.31, or 2.2 percent, at $684.79 in premarket trading. 

The iPhone 5, the most eagerly awaited phone of the year, went on sale Friday in the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and five other countries.

When it launched the iPhone 4S a year ago, Apple sold 4 million in the first three days.

Apple could have sold more iPhones if it had more available: demand exceeded supply for most models. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White said the phone was sold out at 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. Apple stores he and his team contacted Sunday evening, and the ones that were still available were mostly Sprint models.


 The four-inch screen, which we’ll come onto in detail shortly, is Apple’s belated nod to the industry trend for bigger displays, and means the iPhone 5 now stands a proud 123.8mm tall – width remains the same at 58.6mm.

The extra screen real-estate is welcome, though smaller-handed iPhone users might struggle to reach the standby button with a forefinger while holding it in a natural position. Th
ey might even have to stretch for the extra top row of apps. Just hold it a different way, perhaps.

Because various components have been reduced in size, the headphone socket has been moved to the bottom of the device, which comes with its pros and cons. On the plus side, your phone usually goes in your pocket nose first, which means the headphone cable has a clear run out to your ears.

On the downside, the jutting jack interferes with your hand when holding it ‘upright’. Not all apps will use the gyroscope to flip the screen 180-degrees, either, so you’ll have to get used to that.

The bottom-hugging stereo speakers have also been given a boost, the better to annoy old people on the bus as you rattle out Skream’s latest. Do your own iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 sound comparison and you’ll realise the sound is unquestionably fuller and deeper.

Then there’s the Lightening connector. In our testing, we didn’t find it any quicker for transferring content over a cable but we do prefer the new connector in terms of it being a) smaller and b) reversible.

At the time of writing, the Lightening-to-30-pin adapter wasn’t available – it sure ain’t in the box, and it’ll cost £25 on release – so we haven’t experienced how it will cope with existing docks and accessories but it’s safe to say, things could look ugly.

There are add-ons that simply won’t work with it, either – TomTom’s iPhone car kit, for example. It’s made us realise how many USB-to-30-pin cables we’ve amassed over the years and how, now, they’re all redundant, apart from servicing the new iPad and nostalgic clear outs.

Nepali Airline BB Airways To Fly

BB Airways BO 428 made its maiden flight carrying 201 tourists from Siem Reap of Combodia to Kathmandu on Thursday afternoon. The chartered flight of Boeing 757-200 touched down at Tribhuwan International Airport at 12.50 PM.

"This is an achievement not just for us but the whole nation. This flight has added a new chapter to the economic progress of the country and we have been encouraged to proceed further,” Bhaban Bhatta, chairman of the carrier. 

Press statement issued by the airlines says the flight was operated in co-ordination with TonleSap Airlines of Cambodia. 
“The scheduled flights would link Kathmandu with Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong while the airline will also operate two chartered flights to Narita, Japan from Kathmandu every week,” the statement further adds.
