Rohit Shetty is directing this film. He has a good image in Bollywood, his movies looks very stylish and realistic they are close to attract all type of audience, he is the one and only director who made three 100 crores bollywood movies. This is an romantic and comedy entertainer by seeing the title only we can come to an idea about this movie.
POsitive Point:
If you are an SRK fan, you will love him in this movie. He is simply brilliant in the comedy sequences. It has been a while since we saw such an energetic performance from Shah Rukh Khan. Deepika Padukone is simply gorgeous. She has given a flawless performance and even manages to overshadow SRK in some sequences.
Deepika looks pretty in sarees and her chemistry with SRK is very strong. In fact, this chemistry between SRK and Deepika is what makes Chennai Express so entertaining.
Tamil actor Sathyaraj has a limited role but he has given a classy performance. Nikitin Dheer has imposing screen presence. There are a number of Tamil actors in the movie and they have performed adequately well.
The entertainment quotient in the film is quite high. Good comedy scenes, racy screenplay and nice performances work in the movie’s favour. The song ‘Titli Dil’ has been shot beautifully.
The climax sequence, though a little cliched, manages to engage viewers emotionally.
A must watch movie and a great ID gift by king of the bollywood. 
Ready steady po...........

Mobile Apps - A security threat | Download & Use Carefully



Researchers have found out that a lot of mobile applications pose a potent security threat to our privacy and society. Be careful while downloading and using these apps. Read on to find out more...

SECURITY agencies may have found a way to intercept highly encrypted BlackBerry Messenger ( BBM) services, but other similar applications such as WhatsApp messenger and free service Viber which enable millions of users to call and text appear to be having a free run.

Encrypted services such as WhatsApp and Viber, available to smartphone users and offering free audio, video, chat services and access to information of location, could be a serious threat to India’s security, a top government official said. These countless number of mobile applications are turning out to be a grey area and is another serious technological challenge for the government, he pointed out.

“ These mobile applications are available to users free of cost through various operating systems like Android which cannot be regulated. They cannot be intercepted, if required, since almost all the servers for these applications are located outside India,” said an official.

“ Any sort of anti- national activity could be carried out communicating through these applications by text messages, audio or video. In fact, free applications like WhatsApp, True Caller, Fring, Viber and many others have now replaced SMSs in communication. This makes the security apparatus more vulnerable,” said cyber law expert Pavan Duggal.

Duggal added, “ Any communication through these mobile applications generates a third- party data which lies with the telecom operator. They are bound to ensure that the data is regulated and accessible to security agencies if they require.” However, leading telecom companies said it is difficult to monitor the huge number of mobile applications.
Rajan S. Mathews, director general, Cellular Operators Association of India, said that telecom companies are only responsible for access to these applications if the government asks for it.

However, Duggal said, “ How can you provide access to any data without getting it tested?” Source:mailtoday.in

The Changing Face of India, Population Growth Slows in India | Literacy Rate Rises | Sex Ratio Improves

Census Results 2001-2011 in IndiaThis is one slump in growth rate that the nation can rejoice over.

According to Census 2001- 2011, India’s population has grown at 17.7 per cent as against 21.5 per cent in the previous decade.

The country’s population at present is 1.21 billion, an increase of 181.96 million since 2001. What is even more comforting for the country’s planners is the fact that female growth rate has been better than male growth rate. The male population has gone up by 90.97 million, against a rise of 90.99 in the population of females over the last 10 years.
The rate of growth of the female population is 18.3 per cent, while the male growth rate stands at 17.1 per cent, according to the final census released by Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Tuesday.

Rural rules
While there has been a 3.8 per cent drop in the overall growth rate, there is still scope for improvement as 14 states and Union Territories have registered over 20 per cent growth in population figures. Among the major states, Bihar has recorded the highest decadal growth in population ( 25.4 per cent), surpassing West Bengal, which occupied the first position in 1991- 2001.
More than two- thirds of the country’s population lives in rural areas. As per census 2011, 833.5 million people live in rural areas, while 377.1 million people live in urban centres. Delhi has the highest proportion of urban population at 97.5 per cent. Top five states in terms of urban population are Goa ( 62.2 per cent), Mizoram ( 52.1 per cent), Tamil Nadu ( 48.4 per cent), Kerala ( 47.7 per cent) and Maharashtra ( 45.2 per cent).

Literacy rate in India has risen to 73 per cent in comparison to 64.8 per cent in 2001. While male literacy rate stands at 80.9 per cent, which is 5.6 per cent higher than the previous census, the female literacy rate has been recorded at 64.6 per cent, an increase of 10.9 per cent since 2001. The gap in literacy rate between urban and rural areas and between males and females has also declined. In Census 2011, the gap stands at 16.3 points.

India’s sex ratio in 2011 stands at 943 ( females against 1000 males), which is 10 per cent more than the last census, when it was 933. Haryana has the worst sex ratio at 879, while Kerala is the best at 1,084.
