Tips to make the best use of #hashtags on Twitter
When something happens in the world, it happens on Twitter, and hashtags have been collating some of the most important conversations on Twitter. A hashtag—written with a # symbol is used to index keywords or topics on Twitter. They connect Tweets that talk about the same thing in one place. As the internet gears up to celebrate the 13th birthday of the hashtag on August 23, here are some pro-tips on Twitter hashtags.
How to use hashtags on Twitter:
· Just use the symbol (#) before a relevant keyword or phrase in a Tweet.
· Click on the hashtagged word in any message and all the Tweets with similar hashtags will come-up on your timeline.
How to ensure the hashtags you used are functional:
· A hashtag will not work as intended if there are spaces or punctuations in it. Punctuation marks ( , . ; ' ? ! etc.) will end your hashtag wherever punctuation occurs.
· A hashtag will not work with letters or numbers in front of the # symbol. The # symbol must have a space directly in front of it in order for it to show correctly in searches. If you write 123#sofun or word#sofun, your Tweets will not show in searches for the hashtag #sofun
· A hashtag will not work if completely made of numbers. However, if you include letters following the numbers in the hashtag, for example, #123go, then the hashtag will work correctly.
Fun facts about using hashtags on Twitter:
· If an individual Tweets with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find their Tweet.
· Popular hashtags often emerge as Trending Topics.
· Hashtags are not case-sensitive, but adding capital letters does make them easier to read.
· Twitter recommends using no more than two hashtags per Tweet as best practice, but you may use as many hashtags in a Tweet as you like.

Subedaar puts Indian original cinema on the global map with record-breaking Prime Video debut
MUMBAI: Prime Video has a runaway hit on its hands. Subedaar, the gritty action drama starring Anil Kapoor, has stormed to become the most-watched Indian original movie on the platform in its opening weekend, cracking the Top 10 across 31 countries and landing in 91 per cent of India’s pin codes within days of its March 5 premiere.
The film, a visceral, emotionally-charged story of a retired soldier, Subedaar Arjun Maurya, wrestling with civilian life amid crime and corruption, has struck a nerve. Directed by Suresh Triveni and co-starring Radhikka Madan, Mona Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Faisal Malik, and Khushboo Sundar, the film is already being hailed as a showcase for what Indian original storytelling can achieve on the world stage.
“Subedaar’s success is a reflection of the growing scale and global resonance of Indian storytelling,” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India. “The film’s emotional narrative, its rooted portrayal of a soldier confronting his toughest battles beyond the battlefield, has struck a chord. Anil Kapoor delivers an acting masterclass, while Suresh Triveni’s solid direction and great performances from the ensemble cast have resulted in love and appreciation from customers across the world.”
Kapoor, 62, has been here before, but rarely at this altitude. Written by Triveni and Prajwal Chandrashekar, with dialogues by Triveni, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Chandrashekar, the film is a production by Opening Image Films in association with Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network (AKFCN), produced by Vikram Malhotra, Kapoor, and Triveni.
Subedaar streams exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across India, and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
For Prime Video, the numbers tell the real story: one weekend, one film, a global footprint, and a very loud signal that Indian original cinema is no longer just travelling well. It’s arriving.
