All videos are fun to watch, but we can safely say that grumpy Alia takes the cake.

What makes Alia Bhatt grumpy?

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/49720808.cms" />The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/JDU-wins-Bihar-Elections-2015/articleshow/49710372.cms">Bihar elections result</a> was a second jolt for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=prime+minister+narendra+modi">Prime Minister Narendra Modi</a> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Bharatiya+Janata+Party">Bharatiya Janata Party</a> (BJP) after the Delhi elections as the grand alliance between <keyword id="6358190" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nitish-Kumar">Nitish Kumar</keyword> and <keyword id="18656" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lalu-Prasad-Yadav">Lalu Prasad Yadav</keyword> won the state elections in Bihar. 
 
The Grand Alliance of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav was ahead in 178 seats in the 243-member state assembly, reducing the BJP to 53 seats. 
 
The results can be prove to be hazardous for the saffron party as it hints that if regional forces unite, they can oust BJP-led alliance, further emboldening the rivals. 
 
Anti-Modi people took to social media and joked about how “cow” could just give milk and not vote as the Modi’s campaign reduced to how cow slaughter was anti-Hindu. 
 
Bihar elections was one of the expensive campaigns of the BJP as the party flew around 80 party honchos to campaign and even Modi himself addressed over 30 rallies. 
 
Ram Madhav, general secretary of BJP, said the Bihar election was a very important battle for the party. 
 
“We will have to analyse each and every aspect of the result. There are lessons to be learned,” he said post results. 
 
Since this was the second most humiliating defeat for the party, does it mean the Modi wave, which took the nation by storm in 2014 general elections and wiped out Congress from Lok Sabha, is collapsing now? 
 
Here are 5 reasons why Modi’s wave did not work for Bihar 
 
1. Campaign strategy: Modi’s BJP campaign in Bihar started on development plank and economic growth. Modi spoke about how he would embolden Bihar and lift every community. But as the days drew closer, BJP started campaigning on caste lines. They banked on the cow slaughter topic, which visibly did not turn into much dividends for the party. Even Modi spoke raked up controversial issues that did not work. 
 
2. Modi underestimated the following of Nitish Kumar. It seems Modi is still revelling in 2014 parliamentary elections and banking on anti-incumbency. But, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar have their own audience. The national agenda does not work everywhere. 
 
3. The Prime Minister, whose job is to govern the nation, addressed over 30 rallies. So many rallies also didn’t work for Modi as voters thought BJP was stretching the rubber band too far and was showing a desperate attempt to win the elections in Bihar, India’s third populous state. 
 
4. The DNA remark of Modi also didn’t go well with the people of Bihar. Nitish Kumar had also launched a campaign against Modi’s DNA remark. Modi had said “There seems to be some problem in his DNA because the DNA of democracy is not like that. In democracy you respect even your political rivals." 
 
5. We are speculating that Shatrughan Sinha might be grinning. BJP sidelined Sinha, who is from Bihar, and other veteran leaders. The contest only seemed a fight between the PM and the CM. 
 
Well, this might have been the worst gift for LK Advani on his birthday on November 08.

5 ways in which Modi’s charm is visibly fading!

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/48467034.cms" /> 
It is 15th of August in 1975; Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay has found its way into the theatres. While the country men have switched on the patriotic mode in them, Bollywood was preparing to redefine the arena of Indian commercial cinema like never before. A film that defines patriotism in a newer way, thrills with its suspense even if you watch it for the zillionth time and shows how a friendship in India thrives has come a long way and it’s now a part of every Indian’s growing-up discourse. 
This Independence Day marks the 40th anniversary of Sholay. Anupama Chopra, the renowned film critic has said in her book ‘Sholay- The Making of a classic’ (Penguin India), “Over the years, Sholay, has transcended its hit-movie status. It is not merely a film, it is the ultimate classic; it is myth.” 
 
While, over the last 40 yrs much has been said and written about the film, we at Business Insider list for you 20 amazing facts you still don’t know about Sholay: 
 
 
1. Sholay is a record breaker in many ways. It is also India’s first 70 mm film, which had stereophonic sound. 
 
2. Amjad Khan’s ‘Kitney aadmi the’ dialogue has become a cult. Yet, Khan was almost rejected because the casting director found that his voice was not ‘powerful enough’. 
 
3. Many things about this movie were real even the bullets in the climax scene. It is said that one spare bullet had nearly missed Amitabh. 
 
4. Gabbar’s gang member Sambha was played by Mac Mohan. Though he has become an indispensible part of the movie, he just has one dialogue in Sholay. 
<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/48467093.cms" /> 
5. Amzad Khan wasn’t the first choice for the role of Gabbar. It was Danny Denzongpa who was supposed to play the role. 
 
6. What DDLJ is to Maratha Mandir, Minerva Theatre of Mumbai is for Sholay. This theatre screened Sholay for 5 years continuously in all three shows of the day. And till 1980, it was a major hit. 
 
7. Sholay has proved this long back that awards don’t determine a movie’s credibility. Though a blockbuster, Sholay had won just one Filmfare award, that too for editing. 
 
8. The movie, after the initial part, is all about Gabbar and his notorious activities. However, in a 204 minute film, Gabbar appears in just 9 scenes. 
 
9. While the official release date was 15th August 1975, the movie was launched on 2nd October in 1973. 
 
10. Estimated at Rs 2 crores, Sholay’s budget over ran to an extra one crore. It took almost two and a half years to complete the movie. 
 
11. Previously, scriptwriters weren’t really paid in Bollywood. Sholay changed everything. It set the scripwriters as real creator of hit movies. 
 
12. Getting requisite permissions had prevented Thakur Saab from being an army officer. The character of Thaakur saab was conceived as a retired army officer. Having not got necessary clearances from the army, the role was changed to a police officer. 
 
13. The role of Jai played by Amitabh Bachchan was initially planned for Shatrughan Sinha. 
 
14. Dharmendra was nursing a deep crush on Hema Malini during the shooting of the film. He wanted to play the role of Thakur initially, but settled for playing Veeru when he realized that the character would be paired against Hema Malini. 
<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/48467103.cms" /> 
 
15. The light boys were bribed by Dharmendra to spoil his scenes with Hema Malini. This led to numerous retakes and Dharmendra’s chance of getting closer to Hema intensified. 
 
16. The original ending of Sholay has Gabbar being killed by Thakur. 
 
 
17. The Censor Board didn’t approve of too much violence in the end. Sholay was made to re-shoot several scenes to get rid of extreme violence. 
 
18. Ramgarh , the village shown in Sholay is actually a town called Ramanagara, which is 50 kms from Bangalore. Since 80s, it came to be called Ramgarh to commemorate the film. 
<ol>
	<li value="19">
		The rocks where the famous scene of Sambha-Gabbar has been shot are known as Sholay rocks and can be seen from the highway. It has become a major tourist attraction soon after the movie.</li>
</ol>
 
20. Who is Gabbar Singh? No, this isnt any fictional character. There was a real life dacoit of the same name in Gwalior area in 1950s. He is infamous for having cut off noses and ears of policemen.

#40YearsOfSholay: 20 fascinating facts you didn’t know about the movie

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47427119.cms" />It is not necessary that all cabinet ministers have to gel with PM Narendra Modi. There are few ministers who had to work towards getting their equation right with the PM. 
 Economic Times reported how <keyword id="6391015" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Finance-Minister-Arun-Jaitley">Finance Minister Arun Jaitley</keyword>, Home Minister Rajanth Singh and Foreign Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj adjusted to work out their private equation with Modi. 
 
The most important minister in Modi’s cabinet is Jaitley. Arguably, Jaitley is Modi's go-to man. People close to Jaitley told ET that he was one of the trongest backers of Modi as BJP’s PM candidate at a time when several heavyweights were against the idea. 
 
The Finance Minister had also handled legal issues of both Modi and BJP President Amit Shah. A party leader told the financial daily that when Shah was banned from entering Gujarat by the Supreme Court, he went to Jaitley's house. 
 
The leader added that Shah relies heavily on Jaitley. "Those working closely with Shah now in the party are all Arun Jaitley's people. Shah's assessment of people is based on Arun's assessment and Modi too goes along," a party leader told ET. 
 
The leader also said that people close to Jaitley were given key ministries and the names were endorsed by Shah as well. 
 
A BJP leader told the financial daily that the close relationship between Modi, Jaitley and Shah was a source of much jealousy. 
 
"Of the trio, Jaitley is the easiest to attack since Modi can't be attacked and attacks on Shah will only start post Bihar if the party does badly," said the leader. 
 
The leader added that Jaitley was Modi's chief troubleshooter. 
 
One of the leaders also told ET that if performance of Modi Sarkar was to be judged largely on economy, Modi's most important minister was also the one who will be judged most ultimately. 
 Meanwhile, <keyword id="2286211" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Home-Minister-Rajnath-Singh">Home Minister Rajnath Singh</keyword> learnt to like Modi. 
 Singh is officially the number two in the <keyword id="581221" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Modi-Cabinet">Modi Cabinet</keyword> and as per an official notification, he gets to chair Cabinet meetings when the PM is away. 
 
Singh is a political heavyweight and Modi and Shah are quite careful not to mess with him. When the Home Minister publically expressed displeasure at rumours being spread about his son, allegedly by a Cabinet colleague, Modi and Shah rushed to assuage him. 
 
After Singh’s response, those rumours stopped. 
 
"The message was clear - Rajnath was not going to stay quiet," a BJP functionary told ET. In his first stint as BJP president, Singh shared an uneasy relationship with Modi and Jaitley. 
 
Singh had dropped Modi from the party's central parliamentary board and Jaitley from the post of chief spokesman. However, during his second stint, Singh’s relationship with Modi improved. 
 
Singh batted for Modi against party veterans LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj. 
 
Economic Times reported that a senior Congress leader had also gone to Singh's house when he was the president to dissuade him from declaring Modi as the party's PM candidate. But to no avail. 
 
"He also got dissidents to stop critiquing Modi in public during the run-up to the election," a BJP leader told ET, adding “At one point Singh got Yashwant Sinha to speak to Shatrughan Sinha to tone down the latter's remarks against Modi.” 
 
Party leaders told ET that as smooth as Singh-Modi relations may be now, the uneasy relationship between the finance and home ministers could still become a problem for the prime minister. 
 
"The downfall of UPA-2 started with the shadow war between Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram. Round-2 of Singh vs Jaitley, if it happens, can get troublesome for the PM," a party veteran told the financial daily. 
 
Coming to Foreign Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, she was a Modi critic was adjusted. 
 
“Sushma-ji's is a case of a remarkable transformation,” a BJP leader told ET. Before Modi climbed to top of the party, Swaraj was a Modi critic. 
 
A BJP veteran said Swaraj is good with her job even if no one talks about it. Officials say Modi is even more personally involved than most recent PMs. This could have been a source of angst for Swaraj, but she has simply got on with it. 
 
"She's shown great dignity," a BJP leader told ET. As per officials, Modi has asked the foreign minister to keep special focus on the Middle East and SAARC. 
 
"Sushma Swaraj really knows the dos and don'ts of ministerial functioning," a senior official told ET.
