Free Wi-Fi at 7 more stations from today

Starting Monday, lakhs of commuters using the suburban railway network will be able to access free Wi-Fi service at seven stations — four Western and three Central. While the service can be accessed at its highest speed for the first 30 minutes, following which the speed will decrease.

Union railway minister Suresh Prabhu will inaugurate the service for Churchgate, Dadar (Western/Central), Bandra, Bandra Terminus, Khar, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and Kalyan on Monday.

To access this service, smartphone users will have to register their mobile numbers on the private telecom operator’s page. Following which they will receive a one-time password (OTP) via SMS. This OTP needs to be entered on the login page following which a smartphone user will be granted permission to use free Wi-Fi for 30minutes. However, the speed will dwindle once the user passes the 30-minute mark.

Though the railways intend to charge users for using the service upon consumption of the free bandwidth, the authorities are yet to work out the payment modalities. “So far, we are not charging users for Wi-Fi, but the speed will reduce,” said a railway official, requesting anonymity.

Stating that Wi-Fi at railway stations is the need of the hour, Khar resident Rohit Desi said, “It’s good that the railways are adding this service. Globally, free Wi-Fi is available everywhere, including malls, railway stations and restaurants. I’m glad that it’s happening here as well.”

Other projects

Prabhu will also inaugurate an air-conditioned dormitory at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and foot-over-bridges (FOBs) at Reay Road, Kings Circle, Kurla (Kasaiwada), Chembur, Karjat and Shahad. The new station building at Borivli, equipped with a booking counter, and a deck area at Goregaon (north-end), with ticketing facility, will allow faster dispersal of commuters.

Happy Bhag Jayegi box office Opening collection

Movie Happy Bhag Jayegi has opened with very low numbers at the box office

The film opened to empty theatres with only 10-15 percent occupancy being reported at most places. On the opening day, the film minted Rs. 2.32 cr at the box office on Friday. Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share Happy Bhaag Jayegi’s box office collections. He wrote, “#HappyBhagJayegi picked up in evening shows… Fri ₹ 2.32 cr. India biz… Biz needs to multiply over weekend to post a healthy total.”


Directed by Mudassar Aziz and produced by Anand L Rai, Happy Bhag Jayegi has shades of Tanu Weds Manu and may get some thrust from positive word of mouth. Made at a modest budget, the film may still pick up some speed in the coming days.

The film that is still holding sway is Akshay Kumar-starrer Rustom. The courtroom drama, which stars Akshay as a naval officer, has already earned over Rs 90 crore at the box office and is still going strong. The film is likely to enter the Rs 100-crore club this weekend. This will be Akshay’s third film this year to earn that kind of money. His Airlift and Housefull 3 had earlier earned over Rs 100 crore at box office.

The other release of the week, UnIndian, also failed to enthuse audiences. Box office collections of this Brett Lee-starrer are likely to be even less than that of Happy Bhag Jayegi. Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro has also run its course and its lifetime collections are being put around Rs 60 crore. (Rustom box office collection day 7: Akshay Kumar film earns Rs 90.9 crore in one week)

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4G now cost Rs. 7,999 instead of Rs. 9,999

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4G just got its price slashed to Rs. 7,999. 

The mid-range,h 5.5-inch smartphone will now cost Rs. 7,999 just became  cheaper by Rs. 2,000

The Redmi Note 4G was launched in November last year and has been one of Xiaomi's runaway successes in the country. Exact figures are unavailable, but it is estimated that the company sold tens of thousands of handsets in just a few weeks in flash sales on Flipkart.

Why is Xiaomi discounting a product that was already priced dirt-cheap to begin with? One word: competition. The last few months have seen at least a dozen new smartphones entering the crowded Indian market. These handsets are typically budget handsets, usually offering mid to high-end hardware at prices that are usually under Rs. 10,000. The recently launched K3 Note from Lenovo, for instance, is priced at Rs. 9,999 and has much better tech specs than the Redmi Note 4G.

If you're in the market for a phablet -- you know, those gigantic phones that everyone seems to carry these days -- the Redmi Note 4G is now one of the cheapest options.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi slashed price of the Mi 4 16 GB model by 16 per cent to Rs 14,999. "We are announcing price cut of Mi 4 16 GB model to Rs 14,999. It is effective from 9 pm (June 17) on Flipkart and mi.com and soon available across our other channel partners," Xiaomi global Vice President Hugo Barra said at an event. The company was celebrating sale of one crore Mi 4 smartphones.

While the company is advertising a price cut of Rs 5,000 on the Mi 4 (16 GB), the actual discount is of Rs 3,000.

Therefore, the fresh discount on the Mi 4 is Rs 3,000 and not Rs 5,000.

The Mi 4 comes with 5-inch display, 13 megapixel main camera and 8 mp front camera. It has 3 GB RAM. The phone has 3080 mAh battery.
