Did Congress just use its greatest weapon against the whole of the Indian Right Wing?
A Book.

She’s correct. I mean how come we never learnt this in school. And here I was recycling all my plastic. Where are the freaking matches, let me quickly save the planet a bit.
We've reached the stage where godi media explains the benefits of pollution.

My respect for Social Reformers of past has grown in multiples . It must have been so tough for them to convince society against Sati, Child marriage and women exploitation. We can’t convince people to stop firecrackers for their own lungs . Salute to them🫡
This! God help someone who had a genuine emergency.
Whts happening @CPMumbaiPolice ? @MumbaiPolice is not answering calls dial 100,nor are they patrolling to stop the firecrackers, as per the orders of the Bombay High Court?It's midnight& firecrackers are bursting in full swing?Is thr no law& order in Versova, Mumbai? @VersovaPS

#UdtaTeer springs a wonderful surprise, witnessing a solid 76.83% jump on Saturday... The major multiplexes across urban centres have been recording strong occupancies, and the trend is expected to continue on Sunday.
While the national chains doubled their business on Saturday, several centres also witnessed a significant jump, beyond #Mumbai... #Bengaluru, #Kolkata, #Jaipur, #Hyderabad, #Pune, and #Chennai reported solid footfalls.
The film now needs to sustain this momentum through the weekdays to post a respectable Week 1 total.
⭐ #UdtaTeer [Week 1] Fri 4.10 cr, Sat 7.25 cr. Total: ₹ 11.35 cr.

Dear citizens of Mumbai ,
What are you afraid of ? You got literal l poop in drinking water, and poison in the air. Poison kills life, what’s worse than death ? Why does the richest civic body in the world @mybmc think they can GET AWAY by doing this to you ?
There’s like 3 CMs, what is the plan of action for air? You’ve always had terrible roads, now you have shit air and water too. Why do you pay so much tax to die via slow poisoning ?
Mumbai contributes so much tax to the centre, what does it get in return? 7500 more trees are supposed to be cut. Why should a handful of environmentalists be constantly raising their voice for you? Are you cowards ?
Why have you outsourced all courage to the young ?
Ask questions, raise your voice! You don’t deserve this !

#UdtaTeer fares better than pre-release estimates... The slow start in the morning and noon shows suggested an opening in the ₹ 2.50 cr range... However, the evening and night shows picked up, taking the day's total to ₹ 4 cr+.
The film's performance in urban centres, in particular, could help it post a respectable weekend... The business on Saturday and Sunday will be crucial.
⭐ #UdtaTeer [Week 1] Fri ₹ 4.10 cr.

The judicial custody of #AshutoshRanka and #SauravDas must be urgently reviewed and they must be released immediately.
Hoisting the National Flag, even in a prohibited area, should not warrant such prolonged detention. The judiciary and the executive must rise to the occasion to ensure that the youth of this country do not lose faith in the rule of law and constitutional rights.

People can have differences and nuanced takes on CJP but it is inexcusable to remain silent on the custody of Ashutosh and Saurav. This is an egregious violation of a citizen's liberty. Please speak up. If not on principle, than in self-interest, for this is setting a precedent.

Could have Édith Piaf singing on top of the Eiffel Tower with a cigarette in one hand and a decapitated head in the other and it would still somehow be less French than this photo

Tiny. Bootstrapped. Slightly terrified. But we’ve got the titles you won’t find on Netflix.

Not even Black Mirror could predict this level of dystopia.
A man found out his job interviewer was AI, so he let his own AI take over and walked away, leaving both AIs stuck in an endless goodbye loop.

The man who oversaw 2002 has an appetite for an infinite amount of violence. The question is whether he can afford it politically. He specialises in violence against Muslims. But what to do if Hindus are on the road, especially when a significant section is upper caste, upper class. There is no answer to that question in the saffron recipe book.

To think of the repercussions one meticulously reported piece by the Indian Express has caused, just imagine if the Indian press had done this across the last 12 years where we would be.

One goal each. ⚽️
Now leave us the hell alone.
25-26 June 1975, India was put under #Emergency by the #congress PM Indira Gandhi, the darkest night that the democracy of India witnessed
