Warning bikers against performing stunts on the city roads, the Mumbai Police have tweeted a clip from Hollywood star Tom Cruise’s just-released movie Mission Impossible- Fallout .
The 12-second clip shows Mr. Cruise riding a bike in style without wearing a helmet and colliding with a car while looking back. “Not an impossible mission for us to penalise you if you are spotted trying these stunts on the road of Mumbai! That’s the job. No hard feelings,” the tweet said.
Marine Drive, Bandra Reclamation and Govandi are among the favourite spots for bikers to perform stunts, sometimes during night traffic.
Mumbai Police have also urged bikers to wear helmets and avoid rash driving with the hashtags “safety is possible” and “Say no to rash driving.” The video has been viewed by more than 28,000 people and liked by 2,700 netizens.
Social media is abuzz with the video and netizens are making puns on Mumbai’s roads. “Lol @MumbaiPolice Tom cruise still survives that, because there are no manholes unlike India, because the government dont take the initiative to fix them. That’s why people dont pay tax,” tweeted @TanishqDesai777.
Another user going by the twitter handle @1harshal said, “Can’t ride like this in mumbai #potholes makes this “Mission Impossible” tweeted an user with the handle”. Another user said, “You have 3 choices: wear helmet, face a fine or answer in the court. The choice is yours and yous alone. Good Luck”.
