The Publicity Stunt at Ujjain for Promoting Brahmāstra
Shree Mahakaleshwar This Tuesday’s temple visit by Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhat was a shrewd publicity stunt. Neither of them are religious. They have no love for Hinduism—both are famous (or infamous) for making derogatory statements about Hindu traditions. They arrived at the Ujjain’s Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple for one reason: to generate publicity for their movie *Brahmāstra*. Their publicity stunt was successful.

John Sexton: As the Biden energy crisis drags on and voters continue to notice how they are still paying more for everything from gasoline to utility bills, the White House has been desperately trying to sound like they are doing their part to promote domestic oil production.
