Raju Srivastava cremated in Delhi; Sunil Pal, Madhur Bhandarkar attend funeral

On Thursday, the actor-comedian Raju Srivastava was cremated in the nation’s capital in front of his loved ones. His lifeless remains were delivered to the family on Wednesday and then transported to his home in Delhi’s Dwarka. Around nine in the morning on Thursday, an ambulance decorated with white flowers departed towards the Nigambodh Ghat crematorium at Kashmere Gate.

Sunil Pal, Ahsaan Qureshi, Ram Shankar, and director Madhur Bhandarkar arrived at the location to pay their respects to the comic on behalf of Raju. Numerous admirers paid tribute to the comedian. Around 11 am, Raju’s son Ayushmaan performed the final rites according to Hindu tradition.

Dipoo, Raju’s brother, said to PTI: “Around nine in the morning, we departed from the Dwarka home for the funeral. Our Kanpur- and Lucknow-based relatives are present. It was touching to see so many of his supporters and coworkers gather to this location to honour Raju bhai (brother).” He added that the family has not yet decided on the location for the prayer gathering.

After 41 days in the hospital, the 58-year-old comedian passed away on Wednesday morning at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). On August 10, he suffered a heart attack while exercising in a Delhi hotel gym and was afterwards taken to AIIMS. While exercising in the gym, Raju got chest pain and passed unconscious. His trainer then drove him to the hospital.

He began working in the entertainment sector in the late 1980s. He appeared in a number of movies, including Maine Pyaar Kiya and Baazigar. Shikha, Antara, and Ayushmaan, the wife, daughter, and son of Raju, all outlive him.

Family Star review

The Hindustan Times’ review of the movie Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram Petla, suggests that the film struggles to make a mark or entertain, with issues reminiscent of Geetha Govindam (2018). The film tests patience and fails to maintain interest as it progresses.

The review criticizes the plot of Family Star, stating that it is thin and defies logic, making it difficult to enjoy. It also suggests that the film’s portrayal of middle-class life is caricaturish, as if it was written by someone unfamiliar with the realities of such a life.
