The strange ways in which railways let Rs 500 crore ‘slip away'
A bridge no one can reach. A train almost no one boards. Wagons that make 'empty' delivery runs. Audit reports may sound dull, but they show how oddly public money moves — or stands still

Saiyaara box office: After Pushpa 2, Stree 2, Baahubali 2 & Chhaava, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes 10th film to achieve this glorious feat
After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, Saiyaara has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone read more In the times, where many Bollywood movies are struggling to get footfalls in the cinema halls, Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to achieve milestones at the box office. After emerging as the 2nd highest grosser of the year, the musical romantic drama has now become the 10th film to earn over Rs 100 crore in its 2nd week at the box office. In fact, even biggies like Pathaan, KGF 2, War, Padmaavat, Sanju, PK, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai have not achieved this milestone. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Highest 2nd week grossers of all time Pushpa 2 (Hindi) - Rs 199 crore Chhaava - Rs 186.18 crore Stree 2 - Rs 145.80 crore Baahubali 2 (Hindi) - Rs 143.25 crore Animal - Rs 140.51 crore Jawan - Rs 137.06 crore Gadar 2 - Rs 134.47 crore Dangal - Rs 115.96 crore Saiyaara - Rs 110.50 crore The Kashmir Files - Rs 110.03 crore _Saiyaara_ is expected to enter the Rs 300 crore club in its third weekend; however, it would be crucial for the movie to hold well amid two releases - Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2. Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'
