Viral: Foreign Vlogger Ordered Pizza During Indian Train Journey, Here's What Happened Next
Train journeys in India are all fun and games. But let us be honest, not everyone likes the food served on trains. At times, it's natural to crave something flavourful - be it burgers or pizzas. But is it possible to order such zesty items while on the train? Well, the answer to this question is a resounding yes. A travel vlogger, Justin Murphy, recently posted a video on Instagram showing viewers how he and his friends relished cheesy pizzas from Domino's during their 14-hour train ride in India. Also Read: Office Team Transforms Train Cabin Into Mobile Cinema With Projector And Popcorn The clip begins with Justin Murphy speaking about his intense pizza cravings when suddenly a random plan strikes him. "While cruising through the Indian countryside, I called up a random Domino's in the city up ahead and requested they deliver the pizzas to the next station," he says. As the train halts momentarily at Madurai Junction, the vlogger becomes sceptical about whether his order will make it to the station. His doubt soon fades away as he spots a Domino's driver already waiting at the platform. Justin and his pals collect their pizzas and even take a selfie with the delivery agent before hopping back on the train. They open the box only to discover a mouthwatering, medium-sized pizza, infused with loads of cheese and topped with juicy minced chicken. They dig into the delectable Italian delight and rate the food 11 out of 10.

Anurag Kashyap Asked Nawazuddin Siddiqui ‘Bewakuf Hai Kya Tu?' For Acting Like Al Pacino
Last Updated: Nawazuddin Siddiqui tried channeling Al Pacino for Gangs of Wasseypur until Anurag Kashyap advised him to be natural. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's iconic performance as Faisal Khan in Gangs of Wasseypur has stood the test of time, but few know the actor was initially influenced by Hollywood legends while stepping into the role. In a recent interview, he shared that on the first day of shooting, he had actually tried to act like Al Pacino—until director Anurag Kashyap stepped in and changed the course of his performance. In a chat with Filmfare, Nawazuddin Siddiqui recalled, 'I went on the first day acting like Al Pacino. I had thought about emulating him beforehand. Thoda bhoot chaaya hua tha. I used to have phases – Robert De Niro for three months, Al Pacino for three months, and Brando. He said, 'Bewakoof hai kya tu? Don't do that, you will become stiff and stuck at one place.'" He continued by sharing how Kashyap noticed something off about his performance and approached him after the day's shoot. 'I did the scenes Al Pacino style on the first day of shoot. Anurag came to my room at night and asked what am I upto. He said you are being very stiff, Al Pacino type. I told him that I wanted to show my power," he said. But it was Kashyap's grounded advice that really stuck with him. 'Anurag said that woh mera kaam hai, main tere peeche 6 foot ke log khade kardunga, apne aap powerful lagega (That's my work, I will put tall men behind you, you will look powerful). Don't do anything, be normal. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I felt that he was right." Taking the director's words to heart, Siddiqui approached the character with a more natural mindset the following day. 'The very next day, I went and forgot everything. Bhaad mein jaaye, main Nawaz hu, main jaisa dikhta hu vaisa hi jaakar karunga." The transformation clearly worked. Gangs of Wasseypur, directed by Anurag Kashyap, became both a box-office hit and a critical success. Nawazuddin's portrayal of Faisal Khan became one of the most memorable characters in Indian cinema. The ensemble cast included standout performances by Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, Richa Chadha, Pankaj Tripathi, and Jaideep Ahlawat, helping cement the film's cult status. First Published:

According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹142.40 crore worldwide in three days of release. (Also Read: Housefull 5 box office collection day 3: Akshay Kumar film beats Kesari Chapter 2 on 1st weekend, earns ₹87 crore) The trade website reports that in three days, Housefull 5 brought in ₹87.5 crore net and ₹104.40 crore gross in India. Adding to that the ₹38 crore from overseas, the film collected a total of ₹142.40 crore in three days. As per the film's team, Housefull 5 collected ₹91.83 crore net in India so far. This means that the film's collections have overtaken the lifetime of the Sunny Deol-starrer Jaat, which made ₹118.36 crore. The film will also beat Akshay's previous film, Kesari Chapter 2, which had made ₹144.62 crore. Depending on how the film performs on the weekdays, it will soon also beat Akshay's Sky Force collection of ₹149 crore. The only films to stand in Housefull 5's way after that would be Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar with its ₹184.6 crore collection and Ajay Devgn's Raid 2's ₹233.7 crore haul. For now, the ₹807.88 crore haul of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava seems unbeatable.
