Mumbai Registers Spike in Dengue Hospitalisations in August; Santacruz, Parel & Bandra See Maximum Cases

Fast and Furious 9 Movie Review: Vin Diesel and John Cena Starrer Fails to Deliver Awe-inspiring Feel

The fizz in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise seems to be flattening out progressively. The ninth edition of this over-the-top, frenetic-paced, action-packed franchise opens with a promise but ends on a ridiculously convoluted and low note. The film is a bloated thriller with a weak and worn-out storyline that only die-hard ‘Fast & Furious’ fans would be able to follow.

Elon Musk Says Filing Lawsuits Against SpaceX Is Jeff Bezos’ ‘Full-Time Job’

What started as an online bookstore all those decades ago, morphed into a mammoth of a company, that is worth over $1.7 trillion. So what has Bezos doing since stepping down? If you asked Tesla boss and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, he’d say Bezos’ full time new job is suing SpaceX. Bezos, who has turned this attention to space after stepping down, had largely been focusing on Blue Origin and travel to the edge of space for a month after stepping down. But the space race between the two billionaires seems to not only have taken a bitter turn, but also turned legal, as early in August, Bezos sued America’s leading space agency, NASA, for giving a contract to Musk’s SpaceX.
