One viral post imagining the F-35 as an Indian citizen, with a digitally-generated Aadhaar card that includes its photo, has won the internet.
'If that F-35 plane was parked in Gurgaon for this long, someone would have opened a restaurant inside it,' is another popular opinion.

The Indian Air Force facilitated the safe landing and provided refuelling and logistical assistance.Despite several failed attempts to get the fighter jet airworthy, the British Royal Navy's F-35 is now likely to be flown back to the United Kingdom aboard a heavy-lift cargo aircraft after being partially dismantled. A 40-member team from the UK - including technical specialists and a tow vehicle - is expected to arrive in Thiruvananthapuram on July 5 to carry out the recovery operation.- EndsMust Watch

Metro In Dino box office collection day 1: Anurag Basu film opens 300% higher than Life in a Metro, earns ₹3 crore

Metro in Dino box office collection day 1: Anurag Basu's musical romantic drama, which stars an ensemble cast of Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal, was released in theatres amid much anticipation. As per the latest update on Sacnilk, the film made an opening day haul of ₹3.04 crore. Metro in Dino box office collection day 1: Sara Ali Khan plays Chumki in the film. Metro in Dino box office update The report states that Metro in Dino has collected an opening day figure of ₹3.04 crore, as per early estimates. The number may appear small if compared with some of the big Bollywood releases of recent times but is a good achievement for a film of this scale and genre. Romantic dramas do not take big openings in India. For instance, Life in a Metro, the 2007 sleeper hit, opened at just ₹80 lakh upon release. However, it built on its word of mouth to end up with a lifetime domestic collection of over ₹24 crore. Basu would hope that Metro In Dino can do something similar. Given the positive reviews the film has received, there are high chances of a positive word of mouth. About Metro in Dino The film revolves around four couples navigating the ups and downs of love and commitment in different cities.. The music has been composed by Pritam. It is the spiritual sequel to Life... In A Metro (2007), which was also directed by Anurag Basu, and starred Irrfan. Only Konkona from the main cast has returned for the sequel. An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, 'The film is an anthology, all connected by the thread of love, in different forms, at different ages. Falling in love with another person, falling in love with the same person again and again (that's marriage, as someone quips)... It's tough to pin down the plot neatly. Perhaps that's the point. One character rediscovers love in his wife, another reconnects with an old flame, while a third couple grapples with the conundrum: life or passion?'

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: After strong growth, Anurag Basu's multi-starrer to cross ₹10 crore

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: Filmmaker Anurag Basu's ensemble film Metro... In Dino witnessed over 50% growth at the box office on Saturday. After a slow start on its opening day, the film has more than doubled its collections, showing promising signs. According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Metro In Dino earned around ₹ 6 crore on day 2 at the box office. The website reported about 71.43% growth in business. With this, the total business made by the film is ₹ 9.5 crore. The film will cross ₹ 10 crore most likely. Metro... In Dino also witnessed an increase in footfall owing to the weekend. It had an overall 32.20% occupancy on Saturday among Hindi audience. The occupancy was as follows: Delhi NCR held the maximum number of screenings for the Anurag Basu film, along with the highest occupancy of all regions. Following closely is the Bollywood capital, Mumbai. Pune and Bengaluru also did well among other markets across India. Metro In Dino is the spiritual sequel of Anurag Basu's hit, Life In A Metro. The new installment, featuring fresh stories in the familiar format, stars Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film is racing against Kajol's Maa, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World: Rebirth at the box office. Talking about the film, Konkona Sen Sharma told Live Mint, "Different people will be able to relate to different aspects of love. A 40-year-old with a child will be able to relate to me and Pankaj Tripathi's story. Someone who is in their 20s will be able to relate to Sara (Ali Khan) and Aditya (Roy Kapur). It's not really that there's a moral or message to love; it's just relatability. It's just life showing we all go through this; you are not alone.' According to a report by Pinkvilla, Metro In Dino is made on a budget of ₹ 100 crore. Reportedly, ₹ 85 crore was spent on production and ₹ 15 crore on advertising. However, initial plan was to spend ₹ 65 crore but went ₹ 20 crore over budget, the publication claimed.
