Rajkumar Hirani on why Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki didn't connect with audiences

Rajkumar Hirani says, "Dunki didn't connect because people haven't faced visa struggles."

Siddharth Anand says, "Fighter didn't connect because people can't relate to fighter pilots."

By that logic, nobody should watch gangster films, superhero movies, or space adventures either.

Funny how it's never, "Maybe the script wasn't strong enough."

The film is always perfect. The audience is always the problem.

"Umar bhar Ghalib yahi galti karta raha, dhool chehre par thi aur aaina saaf karta raha." 😭🤣

No idea how they pulled this off, but it’s incredible.

Part of a real show at Tokyo Disneyland, and one of those moments that feels like pure movie magic.

Así conducía Ayrton Senna en el G.P. de Mónaco 1990.

Su McLaren MP4/5B tenía una caja manual de 6 velocidades en forma de HA en lugar de las levas detrás del volante de los coches actuales.

Cambiaba de marcha unas 3,600 veces por carrera a más de 250 km/h por calles estrechas con una sola mano.

El auto no contaba con dirección asistida ni suspensión activa. Toda la tracción y corrección en los saltos de Montecarlo dependían puramente de su sensibilidad y fuerza muscular.

Era otra época para la F1.

Spent the last week building something I couldn't stop thinking about 😁. Mumbai has thousands of street cats (I love cats). They live in our lanes, outside our buildings, in most of the cafes.

So I built meowmbai - A community map where you spot, explore, & pin Mumbai's street cats.

Every cat gets a profile. Every neighborhood gets a count. People can upload cat sightings, discover cats around the city, explore adoption opportunities, & find helpful resources for cat care.

It's live. Go find your local cat. Have fun at

Actress Sarah Shahi couldn’t stop talking about filming s*x scenes with James Gandolfini on The Sopranos, saying they were so intense that they kept redoing kissing scenes and were still kissing even after “cut” was called 😳🎥👀🔥

“One of the best kisses I’ve ever had.. he was so hot.”

“I remember thinking how am I gonna get turned on by this 47-year-old large balding man… oh boy did it work for me.”

[Mumbai Rains @rushikesh_agre_]

Dear Mumbaikars,

As Mumbai is witnessing below normal #MumbaiRains so far and water stocks remaining under pressure, please follow these 8 simple steps 👇

1. Fix leaking taps and pipelines immediately.
2. Avoid washing vehicles with running water. Use a bucket instead of a hose for cleaning.
3. Turn off taps while brushing or shaving.
4. Reuse RO purifier wastewater wherever possible.
5. Avoid unnecessary pressure washing of compounds and pavements.
6. Ensure overhead tanks do not overflow.
7. Report major leakages in your locality to BMC & respective authorities.
8. Encourage rainwater harvesting in housing societies.

The monsoon is expected to strengthen soon but until then please use water responsibly. Every drop saved today will matter tomorrow💧

Let's do our bit.

No. I don’t think the conspiracy is likely. While I don’t know how Blinkit has implemented their search, this is just how a good software engineer might design a quick commerce search feature

1. In general, showing no results is considered a bad idea. So, beyond direct word matches, they will try fuzzy matches, phonetic matches, substring matches and in India, do this across Indian languages (someone searching for ulli or kanda should be shown onions)

2. Beyond this, even a random keyboard smash will regularly fit some fuzzy match or the other, so my guess is if you try different random combinations, you should get different products, not just chocolate

3. If I was smart, I’d also use the user’s previous buying history to take a shot at the category, and in the screenshot below, the user has purchased Milkybar before, so taking a bet and tempting the user with more chocolate is not a bad idea.

So I did a few experiments…

When I told my Dad I was gay in 1995 he said something that will always stay with me. He told me about his best friend in the army that was in the closet and had children and was from a deeply religious family where the “Gay was prayed away.” My father started crying (he has only ever cried twice in my presence) and said that he found his friend hanging from the rafters in the barracks. Suicide at aged 29, three kids, an oblivious wife. He said “As long as you are safe, happy and loved that is all I want for you son. I would prefer an alive gay son to one that kills himself because he is gay.” #PrideMonth2026

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) didn't have a traditional screenplay. It had the first example of a CINESCRIPT: an amplified screenplay that combined text and printed visuals to communicate the intended visual language before production began.
