Project Hail Mary review: Ryan Gosling emotionally binds unmatched big-screen experience that makes you overlook flaws

Project Hail Mary review: Ryan Gosling emotionally binds unmatched big-screen experience that makes you overlook flaws

Project Hail Mary Directors: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Cast: Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce Rating: ★★★.5 I won’t lie that as Project Hail Mary began, I felt a sense of dread. I was worried if this was going to be an Interstellar clone. Even though I was familiar with the source material, one wonders just how different two films about middle-aged white men traversing the stars to save the world can be. In just under three hours, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller answer that beautifully. Because not only is Project Hail Mary different, but it is also surprisingly better looking than Nolan’s Interstellar. There are flaws, but the charm of the protagonist and the visual magic are enough to compensate for that in what is arguably the best big-screen experience this year so far. Project Hail Mary review: This deserves to be watched on the biggest screen there is. The premise Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up light-years away from home on a spaceship, all alone. He has no memory …

China has unmatched industrial system but is undemocratic, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that China has built a “superb and unmatched” industrial system in the world, but the neighbouring nation was “coercive and undemocratic”. Rahul, fielding queries during a dialogue with the Information Technology (IT) Fraternity at Technopark here, said that China has captured the industrial production side while the US, India and most of the world were “playing in the consumption space”. He said that, according to him, the real jobs were in the industrial production sector and not the consumption side, like the IT sector. “The disappointing thing is that we have allowed China to just capture it (industrial production),” Rahul, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, said. “China has built a superb industrial system that is unmatched in the world. But we do not like their coercive system. We do not like the fact that they are not democratic,” he added. He said that if India can build an industrial production system while maintaining the country`s democratic values, “it would be a huge service to the …

Last Updated:January 17, 2026, 08:12 IST Banaras City Railway Station has been redeveloped under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, launched by the Ministry of Railways. The station appears spotlessly clean with wide platforms. (Photo Credit: X) Railway stations in India have traditionally been seen as crowded and chaotic spaces. Platforms packed with passengers, announcements overlapping each other, luggage everywhere and unhygienic conditions at some places. For most travellers, stations are not places to pause or observe; they are spaces to cross as quickly as possible before boarding a train. But this image is slowly but definitely changing. Railway stations in many parts of the country are being upgraded, with more attention being given to cleanliness and passenger comfort. Banaras is one of the cities where this change is visible. Banaras Railway Station Looks Like An Airport Terminal This change recently came into focus after a post surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) that featured a series of pictures from Banaras City Railway Station. The images drew attention because they looked nothing like what people usually associate …
