So was India’s tally at the Commonwealth Games 2022 better than 2018? Some think so, not going by the mere number of medals. Others disagree.
But everyone is hoping that the athletes inspire more people to take up sport and also that they get the visibility and financial rewards they deserve. It is sad to see politics being played out around sport, but then that is the new reality. No space is spared. The silver lining is that the medal haul comes in time for the upcoming independence day.
Elsewhere, Trump seems to be in a soup and Laal Singh Chaddha too is the subject of for-and-against on social media.

#LaalSinghChaddha is shockingly low on Day 1… The dull start has added to the woes of an ailing industry… Better at premium multiplexes, but mass circuits are weak… Needs to score big numbers from Fri-Sun to salvage the situation… Thu ₹ 12 cr. #India biz. *ALL* VERSIONS. pic.twitter.com/Wc015wWEr9

Saw #LaalSinghChaddha last night. What an epic performance by Aamir…one of his finest (and that says a lot for someone with the body of work that he has…Lagaan, Gajni, Dangal etc.). The film grows on you & you fall in love wid Laal Singh. Wishing @AKPPL_Official all the best 🤗
