The grand opening promises a spectacle, with the unveiling of Greta Gerwig's esteemed jury and the presentation of an honorary <keyword id="21348893" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Palme-dOr" source="keywords">Palme d'Or</keyword> to the illustrious Meryl Streep. Leading the charge into cinematic splendour will be Quentin Dupieux's uproarious French comedy, 'The Second Act', chosen as the festival's opening delight. India will shine brightly on the Cannes stage this year. <keyword id="21272693" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Payal-Kapadia" source="keywords">Payal Kapadia</keyword>'s luminous creation, '<keyword id="21272312" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="All-We-Imagine-As-Light" source="Orion">All We Imagine As Light</keyword>', will mark a triumphant return for Indian cinema after 30 years of absence from the Palme d'Or competition. The last Indian film to vie for this most prestigious Cannes award was the 1994 Malayalam-language drama ‘Swaham’, directed by Shaji N. Karun. Among the attendees, <keyword id="20102038" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aishwarya-Rai-Bachchan" source="keywords">Aishwarya Rai Bachchan</keyword> will grace the red carpet once again, radiating elegance alongside <keyword id="545350" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aditi-Rao-Hydari" source="Orion">Aditi Rao Hydari</keyword> and <keyword id="19902028" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sobhita-dhulipala" source="keywords">Sobhita Dhulipala</keyword>. Adding to the allure, <keyword id="19909596" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kiara-Advani" source="keywords">Kiara Advani</keyword> will reportedly represent India at the Women in Cinema Gala Dinner. Hosted by Vanity Fair in collaboration with the Red Sea Film Foundation, the event brings together six talented women from around the world and honours their accomplishments in the entertainment industry. Despite the anticipation surrounding films and stars, much attention has been drawn to the off-screen drama surrounding <keyword id="21261193" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cannes-2024" source="Orion">Cannes 2024</keyword>. For starters, festival workers, discontent with short-term contracts, have threatened to strike due to the lack of unemployment benefits between festivals. French actor Judith Godrèche's accusations of rape and sexual abuse against two directors earlier this year have sparked a significant #MeToo moment in the French film industry. Godrèche will premiere her short film “Moi Aussi” at the festival. Iranian filmmaker Mohammed Rasoulof, whose film “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” is competing in Cannes, added further turmoil to the festivities on Monday, after revealing that he has fled Iran after receiving an eight-year prison sentence and flogging for his critical portrayal of the Iranian regime. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how well the 77th Cannes Festival carries the torch of last year's triumphs, where cinematic brilliance birthed Oscar glory by producing three best picture nominees. To revive the spirit of the previous year, Messi, the canine star of “Anatomy of a Fall,” will also be returning to Cannes for a series of French TV spots.

The 'Raazi' star won the hearts of millions with her sartorial choices at Met Gala. Alia opted for a pristine white gown with a billowing silhouette from the shelves of Prabal Gurung. Prabal has shared many pictures and videos of Alia on his Instagram account. Among those, there's a video, in which, Alia was called by a paparazzo as 'Aishwarya this way'. However, Alia posed for the paps, smiled at them, and walked off. Prabal also helped her with her gown on the stairs of the red carpet. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a well-known name at international podiums. But she is a more familiar face at the Cannes than at Met Gala. <div type="INSTAGRAMURL" thumbUrl="undefined" caption="Caption not available." user="undefined" cmsId="1683090287220"><url><![CDATA[https://www.instagram.com/p/Crv0-qVrIHb/]]></url><permalink><![CDATA[https://www.instagram.com/p/Crv0-qVrIHb/]]></permalink><payload><![CDATA[]]></payload></div> After walking the red carpet, Alia shared pictures of her Met Gala look on Instagram and revealed that her royal ensemble was made using one lakh pearls. "Met Gala -- Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty...I have always been fascinated by the iconic Chanel brides. Season after season, the genius of Karl Lagerfeld shone through in the most innovative and awe-inspiring couture.

I'm so proud to wear you for my first Met," she shared. "A girl can never have too many pearls... and the right accessories to complement the look which in our case translated to the bow of pearls on my hair. Oh, and it's white, for my Choup-ED," Alia added.

During the inauguration of the India pavilion at Cannes 2022 on Wednesday, Academy Award winner A.R. <keyword id="11852" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="rahman" source="Orion">Rahman</keyword> explained why we should tell stories about <keyword id="6576454" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="west" source="Orion">West</keyword> and try to break the boundaries. "I can't say much because I've been in the industry for almost 40 years - ten years of playing outside as a musician and 30 years as a composer. I was a director for the sensory cinematic experience," he said. Rahman further shared that despite the fact we have our stories to tell, we must not restrict ourselves. "Even though we have so many stories, we should tell stories about the West because we have a narrative about the West. We should be doing that." "The West does Gandhi, he (<keyword id="4993" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shekhar-kapur" source="Orion">Shekhar Kapur</keyword>) is the man who has done 'Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen'. I am super inspired by him," he added while hinting towards filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. On the reason for choosing English language for his film, he elaborated: "The reason why I did this in the English language and for an international audience was to see if it is possible to break those boundaries and set a new path. Even if we fail it's fine. I am talking about Le Musk, the sensory cinematic experience in Cannes XR. I want to thank my whole team, and please do check it out and see how we can improve and celebrate it. God bless you all. Thank you so much."

They invested in Ambee, an environmental intelligence startup, according to paper.vc. The filings sourced by paper.vc show that Bachchan invested ₹5 million. This is not Bachchan’s first investment in clean technology. She has invested in wind power projects in Maharashtra, around ten years back in Dhule and Nandurbar. Her latest investment in Ambee is an idea which was born out of an Internet of Things hackathon at Amazon Development Center in Bengaluru. The winners Akshay Joshi, Jaideep Singh and Madhusudan Anand founded Datair Technology, whose product is Ambee. The startup monitors which air quality with data has already installed over <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/making-sense-of-air-quality-using-sensors/articleshow/69262232.cms">100 sensors</a> in Bengaluru. Ambee raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Venture Catalysts in December 2018. From the network of investors on the incubation platform Venture Catalysts, former Google India head Rajan Anandan too had invested in the startup. The country has seen a growth in the number of air purifier startups. Nanoclean is another such startup which promises to turn the air conditioner into an air purifier. The startup born out of IIT Delhi was also awarded <a href="https://www.thebetterindia.com/185965/iit-innovation-nasal-filter-air-pollution-start-up-low-cost/">National Startup Award </a>by former President Pranab Mukherjee for its ₹10 nasofilters to deal with Delhi’s air pollution.
