In the video, he said, “Namaskar! Main hoon Akshay Kumar aur mere saath hai mere mitra Tiger Shroff. Aur hum dono ki taraf se aap sabko ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ Aaj ka din puri duniya mein base Ram bhakton ke liye bahut bahut bahut bada din hai. Kayi sau saalon ki pratiksha ke baad yeh din aaya hai ki Ram Lalla apne ghar Ayodhya mein apne bhavya mandir mein aa rahe hain (From me and my friend Tiger Shroff's side – Hail Shri Ram. Today is a big day for devotees of Lord Ram. After the wait of hundreds of years, the day has come, when Ram Lalla will be in his beautiful home in Ayodhya).”

Tiger Shroff said in Hindi, "Hum sabne bachpan se itna kuch suna hai par iss din ko hote huyi dekh pana aur jee pana, bahut badi baat hai. Hum wait kar rahe hai uss ghadi ki jab hum deep jala ke Shri Ram ka utsav manayenge (We have heard so much about this (Ayodhya Ram Mandir consecration) since our childhood. But to see this day come true is a very big deal. And we are waiting for the moment we can all light diyas (lamps) and celebrate the festival of Lord Ram).”

Akshay concluded, “From both our sides, we would like to wish you all on this auspicious day. Jai Shri Ram.”

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
