The most overrated actor I have ever seen. The very close second is Ranbhir kapoor.

Very few outside the US ever come up with original ideas of innovative products or services. Iflix - copy of Netflix Alibaba - replica of Amazon Samsung - Following Apple's lead Until they can radically think of new technology and improve on existing ones, these start up will forever be considered as 'me-too' and 'has beens'.

Looking forward to more local touch to iflix. More Pakistani movies and old/classic drama series in better quality as well. Iflix in my opinion has better content than netflix in Pakistan as netflix has limited content in Pakistan and is three times as expensive as iflix.

@Abe Internet was developed putside US, rocket tech was developed outside US, green energy is being developed outside US, cell phones were developed putside US. The list is long if you care to search. In future more and more tech is likely to come from Asia and Europe.
