US President Donald Trump announced the implementation of “reciprocal tariffs,” a key component of the “tariff war” he initiated against numerous countries. He chose 2 April for the implementation, declaring it a day of economic liberation for America and promising to restore its prosperity. During a White House Rose Garden media briefing, Trump announced the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including India.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reciprocal Tariff on India</h2>



A 26% discounted reciprocal tariff has been imposed on India by the US. Under this discounted reciprocal tariff system, the US will levy a tariff equal to half the tariff imposed by the respective country on US goods. According to Trump, India levies a 52% tariff on US imports; therefore, a 26% tariff (half of 52%) has been imposed on imports from India.

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 4: Salman Khan&#8217;s film, Sikandar, has completed four days at the box office. Theatres are yearning for viewers. While the film&#8217;s collection was spectacular during Eid, the momentum has significantly waned post-Eid. Salman Khan&#8217;s fans eagerly awaited his film, expecting an entertaining movie, which Sikandar arguably failed to deliver. However, some fans praise the film, while others deem it extremely poor. The film&#8217;s fourth-day (Wednesday) collection is now out, revealing a single-digit earning. Let&#8217;s find out how much Sikandar earned…



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sikandar&#8217;s Fourth Day Fizzles Out (Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 4)</h2>



According to Sacnilk data, the film Sikandar stars Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. This marked their first on-screen pairing. The film&#8217;s underperformance is quite disappointing. Sikandar opened with a collection of ₹26 crore. On the second day, it saw a significant jump, reaching ₹29 crore. However, the collection dropped to just ₹19 crore on the third day. Subsequently, on the fourth day of its release (Wednesday, 2nd April), Sikandar earned a mere ₹9.75 crore. The film&#8217;s total collection now stands at ₹84.25 crore. Sikandar experienced a whirlwind collection on its second day, which subsided within just four days. However, there is hope that Sikandar might see a strong collection during the weekend.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Sikandar Fall into the Flop Category? </h2>



The film Sikandar is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, who previously directed Aamir Khan&#8217;s &#8216;Ghajini&#8217;. However, he hasn&#8217;t been able to replicate the blockbuster success of &#8216;Ghajini&#8217; with &#8216;Sikandar&#8217;. Sikandar&#8217;s budget is reportedly ₹200 crore. If the current collection trend continues, it seems unlikely to recover even half its budget and might fall into the flop category. For now, the makers hope for a better performance during the weekend.

Good News for Pregnant Women and Malnourished Children: Malnourished children will now receive 25 grams of milk powder five days a week, incorporated into their nutritional supplements. Pregnant women will receive a Supposhan Nutri Kit containing 1 kg of ghee, along with makhana (fox nuts), dates, and other nutritious items. The Women and Child Development Department has begun preparations and submitted the budget proposal to the Finance Department. Officials expect the increased milk powder for children and the kits for pregnant women to be distributed from July.



Currently, the department provides malnourished children with 15 grams of milk powder as part of their nutritional supplements. Last month, the Chief Minister announced an increase of 10 grams, prompting the department to process the necessary paperwork. Upon approval, malnourished children will receive 25 grams of milk powder. Approximately 70,000 malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years will benefit from this initiative. Officials estimate an annual expenditure of approximately ₹3.5 crore.



Malnourished children will now receive 25 grams of milk powder instead of 15 grams, along with their nutritional supplements. Pregnant women will receive a Supposhan Nutri Kit containing ghee, dates, makhana (fox nuts), and other items. Preparations for this initiative have commenced.

Stephen Fleming on MS Dhoni: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a six-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the 11th match of IPL 2025. When Dhoni came to bat at number 7, CSK needed 54 runs from 25 balls. Dhoni could only manage 16 runs from 11 balls, and CSK lost the match. After the match, CSK coach Stephen Fleming revealed that MS cannot bat at full strength for 10 overs due to a knee problem. CSK also lost to RCB by 50 runs in Chepauk. In that match, Dhoni faced criticism for batting at number 9. Now, a shocking report claims that, according to the coach, Dhoni will only play six more matches this season.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘His knees aren’t what they used to be’</h2>



After the loss against Rajasthan Royals, Fleming said that it&#8217;s a matter of time. Dhoni himself assesses this. His body, his knees, aren&#8217;t what they used to be. Although he is able to move properly, there is also a nutritional aspect. Therefore, he cannot bat at full strength for 10 overs.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Bringing him in at the 9th or 10th over isn’t appropriate’</h2>



He said that if the match is balanced, he will go for batting first, and there will also be opportunities when he will support other players. I also said last year that MS is valuable to us, his leadership and wicket-keeping skills, but bringing him in at the 9th or 10th over isn&#8217;t appropriate. He is trying to score runs after the 13th-14th over.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dhoni to play only 6 more matches</h2>



Meanwhile, a report released on OneCricket&#8217;s official Instagram account states that CSK coach Stephen Fleming said, &#8220;I spoke with MS last night, and we discussed his future role in CSK. We concluded that he will only remain in Chepauk for the remainder of the season.&#8221;



This means he will only play six more matches this season. Currently, Chennai Super Kings have 11 out of 14 league matches remaining, of which 6 will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai. No knockout matches will be played in Chepauk.

Sikandar at the Box Office: Salman Khan&#8217;s movie, Sikandar, released a day before Eid, has received mixed reactions. While many appreciate it, others find it underwhelming. Salman Khan&#8217;s massive fanbase is well-known, but sometimes, even fans&#8217; actions can be shocking. A recent incident involving a fan has caused quite a stir. A video circulating on social media shows fans watching Sikandar in a cinema hall engaging in behaviour that endangered others. The video has sparked outrage, with many condemning the actions. Let&#8217;s delve into the details of this controversial incident.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Salman Khan Fan burns crackers inside theatres</h2>



Fans eagerly awaited the release of Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna&#8217;s film, Sikandar. As soon as the film released, fans flocked to theatres. A video has emerged showing fans celebrating during the song &#8216;Ae Meri Johra Jabin&#8217; by setting off fireworks inside the cinema hall. This caused panic and fear among other viewers. The ensuing chaos and the dangerous nature of the act have been widely criticised. The video, reportedly from a theatre in Malegaon, Maharashtra, and dated 31 March, is going viral. Following the incident, the theatre management and local authorities have vowed to take strict action.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sikandar Fails to Impress Audiences </h2>



Salman Khan&#8217;s film, Sikandar, has completed three days at the box office. While the film earned more on the second day than on its opening day, its collection plummeted on the third day, reaching a mere 19 lakhs. Screenings of Sikandar have been reduced in several states due to lackluster audience response. One user commented, &#8220;This is wrong,&#8221; while another wrote, &#8220;Such fans exist in the world.&#8221;
