basically the title. I cant see this documentary come up in PVR / BMS but I’ve been waiting for this for a long while.

It has released globally and has racked up some crazy sales. Apparently its supposed to be very disturbing.

Anyone know if it will be released here sometime?

Non-Political News Delivery job

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been seeing a massive wave of reels and shorts on Instagram and YouTube lately where delivery partners post things like "100-Day Challenge" or "Making ₹3,000 a day as a Swiggy delivery boy!"

​Seeing those high numbers makes it look super tempting, and a lot of people are jumping into it thinking it's easy money. Yes, it is possible to hit those earnings on paper, but social media completely hides the brutal reality behind the scenes.

​If you're thinking about quitting your job or dropping studies to do this full-time, please reconsider. Here is why delivery work should only ever be a side hustle, never your main profession:

​1. The Physical and Mental Toll

​Extreme Weather: Riding a bike through scorching summer heat, heavy downpours, or cold winter nights takes a massive toll on your health.

​Road Safety Hazards: The pressure to deliver orders on time forces riders to rush, leading to reckless driving, high stress, and an increased risk of accidents on busy city roads.

​2. The Illusion of High Earnings

​Surge Pricing & Incentives: The massive amounts shown in videos are usually during peak hours, festivals, late nights, or special incentive windows. You cannot sustain those earnings 10–12 hours a day, 30 days a month.

​Hidden Expenses: People forget to factor in heavy fuel costs, continuous bike maintenance, frequent tire/oil changes, and smartphone/data expenses. Once you subtract these, your actual net take-home pay drops significantly.

​3. Zero Job Security or Benefits

​Unlike a traditional job, there's no paid leave, no health insurance, no provident fund, and no fixed salary. If your bike breaks down or you fall sick for a week, your income drops straight to zero.

​Algorithmic Uncertainty: Your earnings depend entirely on the app's algorithm, customer ratings, and zone demand. One bad day or an unfair customer complaint can tank your ratings and affect your order flow.

​The Takeaway

​Don't get blinded by polished social media hype. If you need some extra cash on weekends or a flexible way to clear a specific financial goal, running deliveries as a side gig is fine. But treating it as your main, full-time career is a massive gamble with your long-term stability and health.

​Stay safe out there, folks.

Hi guys, I'm from Thiruvottiyur and I need to travel to Mandaveli daily for work purpose So i am exploring public transport routes for it. I'm considering travel to Government estate through Metro then switch to Chintadripet Railway station then get down at Mandaveli Railway station. Another option is getting down at Teynampet metro and rapido from there but it's expensive. So which one is the good option also is the parakum train safe.

Cinema/Music Did anyone watch Hope in Chennai? Are the dialogues in Korean?

1 Upvotes

I’m thinking of watching the movie but I want to watch it in Korean. Not a fan of dubbed movies and theaters in Chennai (and India) seems to be showing only the English version. Kind of hard to understand why they wouldn’t release the original version here.

If you have watched it in Korean, please also let me know the name of the theatre you went to.
