Although 2.0 has managed to garner positive reviews from most critics and has met with a tremendous reaction from the audience, Rajinikanth has unfortunately failed to beat Prabhas at the box office. 2.0, which released on Thursday, saw a fantastic response from the audience, with it hitting more than 4000 screens across the country. This is a tremendous achievement considering the fact that it is a Tamil film. The Hindi version of the film had collected a little more than 20 crores on the first day, whereas in the case of Baahubali 2, the Hindi collections had been a whopping 40 crore plus. The all India collections for 2.0, across all languages, was approximately 65 crores, which is more than half of what Baahubali 2 made on it’s first day. The all India collections for the latter was 123 crores, across all languages. It was expected that 2.0, with the hype that had been created, would also cross the 100 crore mark on the first day itself. But there were quite a few factors tha...

Actor Rajpal Yadav has been sentenced to three months in prison for failing to repay a loan of 5 crores which he had taken back in 2010 in order to make a film titled “Ata Pata Laapata.” Rajpal Yadav, one of the best comic actors that Bollywood has seen, has unfortunately failed to make a mark in Bollywood. While he does have some good films in his kitty, most of his ventures failed miserably. In 2010, he and his wife, Radha, took a loan of amount 5 crores, which was used to make the film. The film was also Rajpal Yadav’s directorial debut and also starred him in the leading role. The film was a political musical satire with great comic timing, and even starred some of the big names in the industry like Om Puri, Dara Singh, Manoj Joshi, Ashutosh Rana and others. However, the film disappeared without a trace and tanked at the box office although it received mixed reviews from the public and the critics. However, since then, Yadavn has failed to repay the loan. The matter was deal...

Elon Musk always seems to be in the spotlight for something or the other, be it his controversial comments or new developments in his company, Tesla. This time he has spoken up on what he thinks is the ideal working hours for an employee. A post had claimed that Tesla was one of the most in demand employers in the Silicon Valley, despite or because of Elon Musk. Of course, he couldn’t hold his tongue after such a post, could he? Instead, Musk said that companies like Tesla, Space X, Neuralink or Boring Company were meant for people who like to get things done, to accomplish something. Take a look: Join to create exciting new worlds of technology!! If getting things done matters to you, then @SpaceX , @Tesla , @BoringCompany & @Neuralink are the places to be. https://t.co/p9deZP02Cz — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 26, 2018 This brought on questions from the Twitterati about how many hours a week a person should dedicate to work, according to Elon Musk?

Teachers always try to shape our lives in a better way and we never understand how much it helps us in long term. While we are in the childhood and teenage phase we don’t care for anything especially what teachers tell us. But as we grow old, we learn the value of their words and eventually start respecting them much more. A Turkish Airlines pilot gave us the lesson to respect the teachers as he decided to honour his school teacher right in the flight in front of all the passengers. It was a very emotional moment as the pilot read out his message in the local language which left the passengers including the teacher teary-eyed. Later he was also presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers by the airline staff. The video of the moment is going viral on social media and is being loved by so many people. An FB user also translated the message in English which reads as- “ Respected passengers, this is your captain speaking, today is a very important day. As we have a very important passe...

North and South Korea have started working on the relationship building from quite some time and what they did recently is worth appreciating. First time in the last 10 years, trains from South Korea travelled to the borders of North Korea despite it being one of the most heavily militarised areas in the world. The purpose of sending trains by South Korea towards North Korea border is maintainence of the ageing train lines of North Korea. Kim Jong Un in his first meeting with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, in April had admitted that the state of train lines in his country is in a really embarrassing state. Now six rail cars carrying dozens of South Korean officials and engineers have been sent who will inspect 1,200km of track over the period of 18 days. After the inspection, we can say that the train lines in North Korea that were built in the early 20th century will finally get maintained and modernised to handle the high-speed trains. South Korea also wants to boost...

So the film everyone’s been waiting for has finally released. 2.0 has hit the screens and is expected to cross the 100 crore mark across all languages on the first day itself. But while Akshay Kumar’s role in the film has been much appreciated, did you know that he was based on an actual person, called Salim Ali? Salim Ali (1896 – 1987)was one of the most famous ornithologists (bird specialists) in India, who was born and brought up in Mumbai. His contribution to the science has been such that he is lovingly called the Birdman Of India now. Here are some facts that you may not have known about the real life inspiration behind Akshay Kumar’s Pakshi Raja: 1. Salim’s first contact with ornithology was when the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) introduced him to their collection of stuffed birds and even nourished his young mind to pursue it further. 2. He was responsible for carrying out a number of bird surveys both in and outside India. 3. Not just birds, Salim was greatly c...

UAE is planning to start something in future which can be called an underwater train and guess what? It will connect Mumbai and Fujairah underwater through a 2000KM rail network. Yes, you heard it right. The network will be underwater which means the train will travel underwater from Fujairah to Mumbai. The talks for the network are in an initial stage right now and if it happens, it will be used for travel and import-export both. India will reciprocate it by providing fresh water to Dubai in return. Speaking at the UAE-India Conclave in Abu Dhabi, National Advisor Bure...

Shankar’s Tamil film, 2.0 which stars Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth, opened to fantastic reviews yesterday. The film had created quite an uproar even before it released, which meant that audiences scurried to the nearest theatres to catch the film yesterday. The film has seen an above average first day, with a large number of mid level and high level multiplexes showing the film in all the major metropolitan cities. The Hindi version of the film has hit over 4000 screens and is said to be the eighth best opening this year, with almost 40 percent occupancy of seats in the theatres. The 40 percent occupancy may be low compared to the 65 percent occupancy that Thugs Of Hindostan saw on the first day, but we all saw how that turned out. It is also to be remembered that 2.0 has released on a Thursday, which is not a holiday. The Hindi version of the film has reeled in in more than 20 crores (22-23 crores approx.) on the first day itself, and is expected to cross the 100 crore mark ove...

Recently, India played a warm up match against Cricket Australia XI, and the BCCI posted live updates of the match throughout, beginning from the coin toss. The BCCI posted, CA XI have won the toss and will field first #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/J8fb8BJp8x — BCCI (@BCCI) November 28, 2018 The picture posted by BCCI showed Virat Kohli in shorts, which apparently angered a lot of netizens on Twitter. He received a lot of flak for it and people even called him disrespectful. The fans pointed out that cricket is called a gentleman’s game and that a certain code of decorum must be maintained at all costs. Virat Kohli stepping out in shorts creates a bad impression and makes him seem disrespectful as well. People are also comparing Kohli to previous sportsmen and their dressing sense, which was considered to be graceful. One tweet read, “Disgraceful and disrespectful… There was time captains used to wear Blazers during toss…. This behavior is absolutely unpardonable….” Check out...
