Mumbai, Jan 6 (Ians) Rrahul Sachdev and Rovin D’Souza both potted consistently and went on to record century breaks in winning their respective matches of the National Sports Club of India (Nsci) organised Rs 13 lakh prize-money All India Snooker Open 2023.
The left-handed Sachdev was in complete control as he was striking the balls with precision and went on to outclass Yash Kamdar 3-0 cruising to an 83-23, 71-5, and 102-1 victory, in the best-of-five-frame first-round match. Sachdev after taking the first frame rolled in a break of 66 in the second and then produced the three-figure effort, the first first-century of the tournament. He was in full flow and his shot selection and potting was perfect and had he not missed a long blue he would have cleared the table and extended the break.
Later, on a side table, D’Souza was also on song and managed to scrape past Vivek Shah...

Debutant director Vikramaditya Motwane’s “Udaan” is the first Indian film to find a place in the official selection of the prestigious Cannes film festival after 2003, when Murli Nair’s “Arimpara ” was selected in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival. Bikas Mishra spoke to the director who’s still busy getting his first print made.
What is the film Udaan all about?
