Hey

does anyone currently go to the running track at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Krida Sankul (Balewadi Stadium)?

I’m planning to start running there and wanted to know the actual opening and closing timings for the track. Also, is it open for everyone or do you need a pass/membership? I’ve seen different timings online, so would really appreciate it if someone who goes there regularly could confirm the current timings and fees.

With CM Vijay's order forcing the removal of political banners, posters, and oversized cutouts from public spaces, streets that have been covered in this stuff for years are suddenly bare again.

Genuinely curious how does your area look now? Which road or junction changed the most for you?

Pics welcome if anyone's got before/after.

Im from maharashtra (Pune city ) just curious about this !

Planning to watch the 12:45 PM show in Chinchwad on Monday.

If anyone's going and doesn't mind some quiet company, let me know.

Most of us seem to be facing the same SIR-related issue. It doesn't look like an isolated case anymore. If you're experiencing it too, comment with your state/city and what's happening. The more people report it, the easier it is to understand how widespread the problem really is.

SIR is going on all over maharashtra now and I still feel like nobody has explained it to anyone.

We haven't done ours yet. First thing I found out: no one comes to your doorstep. You have to go to your polling booth yourself with all your documents. Nobody told us that, we just heard it around.

The people sitting at these counters look elderly and completely overworked, and from what I've seen they don't explain anything. Just fill this, sign here, next. In my area the camp is running out of a party office. My friend's is at a school. Is there even a rule about this?

And the only thing that's actually reached people is the threat "if you don't do it your name gets removed automatically." That's the whole awareness campaign. Everyone's showing up scared, not informed.

I get why SIR exists. Duplicates, dead entries, people who moved away. Fine. But this is the voter list. It decides whether you get to vote. And people are treating it like a gas connection KYC.

Actual dates for Maharashtra, since nobody's telling anyone:

Verification window: till 8 August 2026 (extended from 29 July because of the rains)

So did your family finish it? Did it go smoothly or did they send you back for documents? And did anyone actually explain anything to you?

Title card: VĀRANĀSI — The city that death cannot enter.

The inversion nobody's guessing:everyone assumes Rudhra travels back to get the Sanjeevani. He travels back to return it.

Act I — 2027.** Rudhra is an archaeologist, a Shiva bhakt who doesn't actually believe — he digs up gods for a living and files them as pottery. Antarctica: under nine thousand years of ice, his team finds a shrine older than the flood. Inside, a sealed vessel. The moment it's opened, an object in deep space corrects its course. Sambhavi. Every observatory on earth says the same thing: 41 days, and it lands on Kashi.

Act II — Kumbha. The villain isn't trying to destroy the world. He's trying to make it deathless. Kumbhakarna's curse was endless sleep; Kumbha's madness is that nothing should ever be allowed to end no pralaya, no rebirth, no next yuga. His empire only survives if time stops. So he wants the Sanjeevani, the herb that refuses death. Rudhra spends half the film chasing the same artifact thinking it's the cure and Mandakini is the one who tells him the truth: the herb was never meant to leave the mountain.Hanuman used it once, out of love, and that single act of love tore a seam in the order of things. Everything since every asteroid, every kalyug — is the earth trying to close that wound.

Act III — Treta Yuga. He falls through. And here's the Ramayana pillar: he doesn't meet Hanuman. He arrives on the night of the Sanjeevani, watches a servant lift a mountain for a brother he isn't even related to, and understands the thing his whole rational life denied the god didn't save the world; the devotee did.Then he has to do the impossible thing: carry the mountain back. Nine thousand years of myth remembered one silhouette carrying Dronagiri. Nobody remembered the second silhouette carrying it home.

Mandakini is your Ganga beat. She is the one who breaks the fall. Shiva caught the river in his jata so the earth wouldn't shatter she does the human version, and it costs her everything. Keeravani plays *Sanchaari* over it and half the theatre is gone.

The last three minutes. The asteroid comes down. Kashi doesn't burn. The old line every Indian grandmother knows Kashi rests on the tip of Shiva's trishul, untouched by pralayaturns out to be reportage. The camera pushes down through the water, through the silt, through nine thousand years of ash, to the base of the trishul buried under Manikarnika.

Someone is holding it.

Has been holding it since Treta Yuga. Doesn't age. Doesn't put it down.

He turns his face to camera. It's Rudhra.

He never came back. He is the third prong. The city has been standing on one man's devotion the entire time, and every one of us has been walking on him.

Cut to black. Har Har Mahadev.

That's the thesis AI build the whole ₹1400 crore on: Shiva is not the hero of the film he's the reward. The film's god is bhakti itself. And the twist isn't "myth was actually science" it's the opposite, and that's what would make an Indian audience stand up in their seats.

Drop your honest opinions on this theory !

Just got hold of what could be the storyline we'd expect from an S. S. Rajamouli film. The theory alone gave me goosebumps it's absolutely mind-blowing.

Should I share it or not? What if it actually turns out to be part of the real plot and AI accidentally reveals spoilers? 😅

UPDATE added theory in this post .

Here we go -
