Money inherently isn't evil; it is the human aspect of an unhealthy love towards money that gives rise to problems.

Stories have shifted their centre from fictional, masala content to real-life events, biopics, docuseries, and more intense and realistic dramas. This has led to a blurring of the lines between the classic protagonist and the antagonist.

The dispute between India and China has come out openly in front of the entire world, and it wants the two Asian giants to make peace with each other. Still, despite several diplomatic talks and statements, the issue is far from over. In the current times, a traditional war cannot be an option unless either side triggers something big. Hence, both the nations resort to indirect attacks (proxy-wars) at each other.
