Watch: Office Team Transforms Train Cabin Into Mobile Cinema With Projector And Popcorn

NDTV27-05-2025
Train journeys are downright fun. You might have travelled with friends and family, but going on a vacation with your office fam is a one-of-a-kind experience. As the barriers of the workplace get blurred, colleagues, across all ages, find themselves having a gala time. Now, one such business trip has caught the internet's attention. In the video, posted on the company's official Instagram handle, a group of around 30 employees was seen turning their train ride to Goa into a private theatre. How, you might wonder? Well, by setting up a projector screen inside the cabin.
The clip shows a group of men hanging a white bedsheet to the chains of the upper side-berth. The bedsheet then rolls down, and just like that, the projection screen is ready. Soon, the group switches on the projector and starts watching a movie, that too with a bucket of popcorn. The comments section revealed that since it was a 30-member group, all the nearby seats were booked solely for them. 'The seats that were not ours, we requested them to exchange so that they wouldn't get disturbed and we could stay together. It was a train to Goa, so the majority of the people were in groups, awake during the nighttime,' the company noted.
Additionally, they used the projector screen for approximately 20 minutes, as a stable Wi-Fi connection was impossible inside a moving train. 'When it comes to noise, it was a very small speaker that was audible only to those who were sitting nearby. It wasn't even audible to the walking passage due to the train noise,' read the statement. On a concluding note, the organisation revealed that no passengers complained about the activity and the 'journey happened maintaining civic sense along with Indian emotions.'

The post received plenty of reactions.
'Civic sense left the chat,' wrote a critic.
'Does this not come under public nuisance???' wondered a concerned user.
'Using the train's charging ports for devices other than phones and laptops is prohibited,' reminded another.
'Theatre 8/10, Movie 11/10,' read a remark.
'This should be only done in 1AC,' suggested one person.
An individual hit back with, 'People who are talking about civic sense are the ones who watch reels in full sound at public places.'
So far, the video has received over 18 million views.

Royal Family "Reluctant" To Reconcile With Meghan Markle, Palace Insider Reveals Why

A recent report claims that the British royal family is hesitant to reconcile with Meghan Markle, despite being open to talks with Prince Harry. After Harry's aides met with King Charles' team, insiders revealed that trust issues remain the main obstacle in the royal feud, with Meghan reportedly at the centre of the problem. "They just don't trust her," a source told the Daily Express. The source added that the royals are wary of conversations with Meghan being used as material for her projects, such as her Instagram, cooking show, podcast, or interviews. According to the report, Prince Harry may travel to and from the UK alone, without his wife or their children, Archie and Lilibet. Notably, the Sussexes have been in a public feud with the Windsors since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the US. Their departure was followed by high-profile projects, including a six-part Netflix documentary, a revealing Oprah Winfrey interview, and Harry's memoir, 'Spare.' The memoir, released in 2023, became the fastest-selling nonfiction book ever, with Harry openly detailing the family conflicts within the royal family. The memoir also reveals Harry's strained relationships with his father and brother, Prince William, and how his marriage to Markle led him to fully step away from royal life. Since then, they have made only a few visits to the UK. However, recently, Prince Harry has expressed a genuine desire to reconcile, offering to share his schedule with the royal family for full transparency. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious," he told the BBC in May. Meanwhile, another royal insider claims Prince Harry's chances of regaining the Royal Family's trust are slim after sharing intimate details in his memoir. The insider claims that the family now hesitates to confide in him, fearing he'll reveal more personal stories in a a second autobiography.

Aadujeevitham's director Blessy reacts to National Awards snub for Prithviraj Sukumaran film, says ‘seems like double standards'

Blessy calls out Ashutosh Gowariker The 71st National Film Awards were announced on August 1, 2025, to honour the best of Indian cinema in 2023. The winners' list received mixed reactions from the audience. One film that became the centre of growing controversy after being completely ignored by the jury was director Blessy's ambitious survival drama Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran . Despite being both a critical and commercial success, the film failed to win a single award, a decision that has sparked disappointment, debate, and accusations of inconsistency in the jury's an interview with OnManorama, Blessy expressed his shock and dismay over the exclusion. What particularly frustrated the filmmaker was the alleged change in stance by jury chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker. Blessy claimed that Gowariker had previously praised the film, even comparing it to the legendary 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia during an Oscar campaign screening in Mumbai."That comment felt like an award in itself. He (Gowariker) even invited me to lunch the next day to discuss the film further, though I couldn't attend as I had to travel that night. If someone appreciated the film in such detail before, how can they dismiss it on technical grounds? This seems like double standards,' Bless the jury's decision, National Awards jury member Pradeep Nair confirmed that Aadujeevitham was indeed under consideration for multiple categories. However, it failed to make the cut during the final discussions. According to Nair, "jury Chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker had seen the movie at a previous film festival in Goa and had serious concerns about the film's adaptation and execution. Gowariker and others also felt the adaptation lacked originality and the performances didn't feel authentic."Another critical blow came in the form of incomplete documentation. The jury stated that the absence of accurate English translations for the film's lyrics, which reportedly cost it nominations in the Best Male Playback Singer and Best Lyrics categories. Despite actor KR Gokul's performance receiving praise from the panel, he was not honoured due to concerns about the film's overall exclusion of Aadujeevitham has sparked strong reactions on social media. Many fans criticised the National Awards process, calling it unfair and inconsistent. Many believe the film's strong visuals, emotional story, and solid performances should have been recognised, especially because of its large-scale the unversed, Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, was released on March 24, 2024.

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.
