THE TIMES OF INDIA, NEW DELHIFRIDAY, MAY 6, 20164 TIMES CITY
■ Tony Stark (Downey Jr) and Steve Rogers have a difference of opinion over the Sokovia Accords, created by the United Nations, that seeks to create a governing body for the Avengers. Stark is in favour while Rogers prefers them to be free to act on their own instincts and thoughts. A series of events involving a multitude of superheroes from the Marvel Universe, intrigue and different kinds of motivation leads to a clash between Iron Man and Captain America, among others.
Without giving away anything that might spoil this treat for Marvel and superhero fans,
let’s just say that Captain America: Civil War is essentially like a battle royale between superheroes like you’ve never seen before. And in a way that doesn’t bludgeon your senses into numb submission, like some other superhero
films we’ve seen of late.The Russo duo has managed to
handle this ensemble cast of superheroes and their personalities with a certain deftness of touch that has to be seen to be believed. Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain America, Black Widow, Winter Soldier…well, pretty much all of them put in some seriously convincing performances.
Downey Jr’s Stark-isms have been dialled down here, allowing us to get a glimpse of his real side as being more than just a one-liner machine. But truth be told, it is Evans who steals the show. Enough said.
As for the action and cinematography, one word—amazing. The climax action sequence at Leipzig/Halle airport is
something that might just leave you breathless. It is 17 minutes long (that’s right) and is straight up the stuff of legend. And no, entire cities and buildings need not be levelled to make a good group fight scene.
Rogers’ mistrust regarding new-world values (compared to the time he was from) is nicely explored. His unwillingness to compromise on his code is seen to great effect.
There is darkness, there is depth, but the important thing is that the element of fun is also most definitely present. Oh, and needless to say, don’t miss Stan Lee’s cameo and do stay for the post-credits scene.

“A container truck used fortransporting the weapons hasalso been seized. Some of therecovered pistols have ‘Madein USA’ engraved on them,”joint commissioner V Renga-nathan said.
A study done by the policeon the growing use of sophis-ticated firearms in robberies,extortions and other heinouscrimes in Delhi-NCR over thelast few years revealed that inmost cases the illegal weap-ons were manufactured in
Khargone, Sendhwa and Dhardistricts of Madhya Pradesh.
To curb supply, a team ledby DCP PS Kushwah was con-stituted. “The team collecteddata about gangs operating inDelhi-NCR and travelled to Ut-tar Pradesh, Rajasthan andMadhya Pradesh to studytheir modus operandi and ar-ea of operation,” Kushwahsaid.
Recently, the cops realisedthat there was a lull in the ac-tivities of the gangs and theirold methods to track themwere not working. However,the use of such weapons con-tinued unabatedly in Delhi-NCR. This compelled them toreanalyse their strategy.
The policemen soon foundthat the suppliers had joinedhands with some transportersand truck drivers who pliedthrough Sendhwa area on theMaharashtra-Delhi highway.On May 3, Arif Khan was ap-prehended and 10 pistols of0.32 bore and 9mm were reco-vered from the truck he wastravelling in.

of rash driving and hittingtheir car. Then one of themheld him at gunpoint as theother two climbed into thetruck from the other side,” apolice officer said.
Yadav told police that themen tied his hands and gag-
ged him, and then wrappedhim in a blanket and drovehis truck for 40 to 50 minu-tes.

for about 10 minutes. Aro-und 5am, the trio parked thevehicle on the roadside, andunwrapped and ungaggedhim. They then took Yadav’scellphone and all his moneyand fled,” police said.
