    It’s already April and just like that, time has flown by and we have entered the 4th month of this Pandemic year. While we continue to adapt to the outside life by meeting friends or going out to work, one habit that we all have endured is that of just binge watching something on our TV screens. Thanks to OTT gods, we keep getting new releases every month and here are 6 recommendations for April:

    1. The Big BullOne of the most awaited movies starring Abhishek Bachchan will finally release on 8th April on Disney+Hotstar. The movie is another spin on the Harshad Mehta scam of 1992 and is a grander look at the financial scandal which shook the country years ago. In case you enjoyed the last movie on the same subject , this one will be very interesting as well.

    2. Hello CharlieThis is supposed to be a comedy movie which stars Jackie Shroff and Aadar Jain, who play con artists trying to flee the country. It involves a gorilla, some crazy adventure and more fun so you can catch it on prime Video from 9th April onwards.

    3. Ajeeb DastaansProduced by Karan Johar, this comes with some prerequisite expectations in terms of entertainment value.This is an anthological movie which will combine various stories covering topics like jealousy, love and toxicity in its narration. The movie releases on Netflix on 16th April.

    4. IrulAnother Netflix delight which is releasing on April 2, this one is a gripping tale following a couple and a stranger in a haunted house. There’s a dead body involved with a murder investigation to unfold.

    5. Well Done BabyThis super famous Marathi film will finally make its digital debut on Prime Video on 9th April. The movie follows the tale of a young couple who is struggling in their married life until destiny plays a surprising role.

    6. ThemThe horror anthology which already garnered so much attention is finally releasing on prime Video on 9th April. This will be a standalone series and the first season will follow a family of color who is trying to adjust in an all-white neighbourhood in Los Angeles in 1953.

    Ranveer Singh has, time and again, expressed his desire to work with Anil Kapoor and he has also mentioned how he idolizes him. Interestingly, Ranveer Singh and Anil Kapoor are related. Ranveer's mom and Anil's wife, Sunita Kapoor, are cousins.
    According to Ranveer, he is living his dream as he is getting to share screen space with his idol once again. He took to Instagram to formally announce that he will be collaborating with Anil Kapoor. He shared pictures from their new project and wrote, “Can’t express the gratitude. the pride, the utter delight & sheer joy of collaborating with one of my most admired screen idols. I deeply cherish the bond that we share. He is one-of-a-kind. Giant of a performer. Legend of an artist. One of Hindi cinema’s finest @anilskapoor (sic).”
    View this post on Instagram
    Anil commented, “The pleasure, the pride, the delight, the utter joy is all mine @ranveersingh! I cherish you and our friendship immensely!”
    The two actors have been signed as the brand ambassadors of a pharma company and recently shot for an advertisement. The pictures that Ranveer shared are from the ad they shot together. In 2019, the actor had talked about how he finds inspiration from Anil's persona. He had said, "He goes about every movie like it’s his first film. He isn’t blasé or jaded about it. He’s not being overconfident. He’s hungry and wanting to do better. He’s all heart. I want to be that way."
    Ranveer and Anil worked together for the first time in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do. Ranveer played the role of Anil's son in the film.
    While people are happy to see the two sharing the frame once again, people also notice that Ranveer is dressed formally which is completely opposite to the style they have been seeing him in. People went on to say that it’s probably the first time that they have seen him dressed decently. The picture sees Kapoor donning a three-piece suit while Singh is seen wearing a formal shirt and blue trousers.

    Not just the ad, the actors will also be seen sharing the screen space in Karan Johar's Takht, which is a period drama. In the film, Ranveer plays Dara Shikoh. Anil Kapoor has been cast in the film in the role of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
    Not just Takht, Ranveer will also be seen in Kabir Khan’s 83 where he will play the role of former Indian skipper Kapil Dev. His upcoming releases also include Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus.

    In today's news of bizarre events, life came full circle for a thief. So when someone plans on robbing or stealing something, one might assume they are aware of what they want. A thief in Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh actually ended up getting a cardiac arrest after finding out the amount of money he had stolen! Yes, you read that right. The thief in question and his mate broke into a public service centre with the hope of stealing an estimated cash and valuables amounting to Rs 7 lakh, according to their own calculation. The idea was to divide the sum and valuables equally amongst themselves.

    Little did the guys know that on calculating the amount which came their way, one of them sadly ended up getting a cardiac arrest because he was overturned with joy on seeing so much money! “The accused are habitual offenders and have several cases registered against them at different police stations. They confessed to have committed a robbery at the public service centre and fled with Rs 7 lakh cash and other valuables kept in an almirah," TOI quoted the Bijnor superintendent of police explaining this. Sadly, the thief in question here ended up spending a chunk of that stolen money on his own treatment at a hospital before being caught by the police. The other guy ended up spending a large chunk of money on betting in Delhi, according to the police. Is this what one means when you say ‘khushi se pagal hona’? While the dude is alive and has been booked under the law for his crime, one cannot help but wonder how lucky he was to survive the attack in the first place. The part where we ended up spending the stolen money on his treatment is what one probably calls ‘karma’.

    The OnePlus 9 may just be the best smartphone to get in India right now especially after my experience with the device for the past two weeks. It has everything an average user needs in a smartphone and excels at delivering in the most important departments. It puts flagship smartphones like the Galaxy S21 Ultra to shame simply with its raw power and asking price. In exchange for the lower price, the smartphone does compromise a few features that I honestly don’t think are that important. Most people don’t care about wireless charging or an official IP rating, and that’s exactly where the OnePlus 9 cuts costs. Here’s what I think about the OnePlus 9 after using it for the past two weeks alongside the OnePlus 9 Pro. 
    Design and Display  © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The OnePlus 9 borrows a lot of the design ethos from its more expensive brother while changing a few things to keep the cost low. For starters, the build quality is not as premium as the OnePlus 9 Pro but it is still better than anything you might have used in this price range. The build quality of the OnePlus 9 is at par with devices like the Galaxy S21 which says a lot as there is a huge price difference between the two. The only reason why I say the OnePlus 9 does not have a more premium feel is because I’m coming from the OnePlus 9 Pro. In comparison to other devices that are priced similarly, the OnePlus 9’s design and quality clearly stand out. 

    Unlike the OnePlus 9 Pro, you will also notice that there is one less camera lens in the camera module and that’s because the phone does not have a telephoto lens. Now, the reason why it doesn’t really bother me is that the telephoto lens on the OnePlus 9 Pro is rather useless. It’s not a sensor that I use often unless I’m at a concert and for most people, it doesn’t make a huge difference either.

    The smartphone has a 6.55-inch display however a lower resolution than the 9 Pro. The 1080p OLED display is still a dream to use as it supports a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate mode. While using the smartphone’s display, the OnePlus 9 feels just as smooth as the 9 Pro and quite fast while browsing and playing games. The only main difference here is the resolution of the display which shouldn’t really be a cause for concern as it is more than enough for viewing content on OTT platforms and social media. 

    OnePlus has also removed some of the key premium features you find on the OnePlus 9 Pro. For example, there is no wireless charging in the Indian retail unit and it does not come with an IP rating. I really don’t need these features in the phone considering what I’m getting in return for the price. If you do want to take advantage of wireless charging and have a phone that is rated for water/dust resistance, the OnePlus 9 Pro might be a better fit for you. 
    Performance The OnePlus 9’s performance is as exemplary as its more expensive variant as it is powered by the same Snapdragon 888 chipset. In fact, both phones perform almost identical and have similar benchmark scores. I used the 12GB RAM variant of the phone and it blows most Android devices out of the water. It’s still not as good as the iPhone but it beats every Android device out there. Most apps launch and close quickly, scrolling feels smooth with zero stutters and it runs games with no frame drop either. The OnePlus 9 also churns out a better battery life than the OnePlus 9 Pro due to its lower-resolution screen and less power consumption. While using the smartphone with Smart 120Hz mode, I got around 5.5 hours of screen-on-time and lasted about a full day with moderate use.

    In my benchmark tests, the OnePlus 9 scored 1055 (single-core) and 3676 (multi-core) on Geekbench 5. It’s amongst the highest scores you can get from an Android device in 2021 and proves that the OnePlus 9 is capable of delivering a flagship experience. The case remains the same with the graphics test where it had almost identical results in the 3D mark test as the OnePlus 9 Pro. If you’re a mobile gamer, the OnePlus 9 is a great device to play games on as it can handle graphic intensive games like Genshin Impact with ease and not overheat during gameplay. 

    CamerasThe OnePlus 9 has a different camera setup than the top variant which includes a 48-megapixel main camera, 50-megapixel ultrawide, and 2-megapixel monochrome sensor. All of these sensors have been colour-tuned by Hasselblad just like the OnePlus 9 Pro. However, for the main 49-megapixel sensor, OnePlus is using a Sony IMX689 that was also used on the OnePlus 8 Pro. Last year, we didn’t really like the imaging capabilities, however on this phone, we do see some improvement in overall colours, sharpness and white balance.

    In good light, the OnePlus 9 is capable of capturing great images with accurate colours, however there is still a little bit of oversaturation going on in the final images. Daylight imaging is dependable and does not have the same issues as the OnePlus 8 Pro. However, capturing images in darker environments is still quite a challenge even though there is a slightly noticeable improvement. The camera does take its sweet time to focus on the subject and lacks overall sharpness. 

    The 50-MP ultrawide camera is a dream to use where it manages to capture quite detailed images in good lighting conditions. It’s at par with the OnePlus 9 Pro and does not feel like a sensor that has been added on for the sake of it. For the first time, an ultra-wide sensor on a OnePlus device is usable and you won't be disappointed with the results. 
    The monochrome sensor works just like it did on the previous generation of phones where it works in combination with the main camera when using the filter mode. You can’t use the sensor directly which is not that much of a big deal. However, the monochrome sensor is barely used and I would have preferred a telephoto lens instead to make the OnePlus 9 a complete smartphone. Sure, I may not care for the telephoto lens as much but I would certainly use it more often than the monochrome sensor. 
    Here are some camera samples that will give you a better idea about the OnePlus 9’s photography capabilities:
    The Final Say The OnePlus 9 ticks all the right boxes for customers who are looking for an incredible deal on a flagship-level smartphone. With incredible performance, acceptable photography and great battery life, the OnePlus 9 will fit most people’s needs. Starting at Rs 49,999, the OnePlus 9 is a better alternative to the Galaxy S21 in my opinion.

    Kirron Kher was recently called out for her absence from major political events. And to put an end to rumours about her, her husband Anupam Kher took to social media to reveal that his wife, actor-politician Kirron, has been battling multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. He said that she is undergoing treatment and reassured fans and well-wishers that she is well on her way to recovery.
    In a statement posted on Instagram, Kher wrote, “Just so that rumours don't get the better of a situation Sikandar and I would like to inform everyone that Kirron has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.

    On Wednesday, Chandigarh BJP president Arun Sood said in a press conference that Kirron has been battling cancer since last year. “She had suffered a broken left arm at her Chandigarh house on November 11 last year. After her medical tests at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The disease had spread to her left arm and right shoulder. For treatment, she had to go to Mumbai on December 4,” he said.

    In her toughest days, Anupam Kher has been with her supporting her through her lows. The couple tied the knot in 1985 and even after three decades of togetherness, they still manage to give us major couple goals. On their wedding anniversary last year, Anupam Kher had wished Kirron Kher in the most romantic way possible, saying how he will always be by her side despite their hectic schedules. “Dearest #Kirron!! Happy 35th Anniversary. We have known each other for almost 45years. It is almost a lifetime. We have grown up together as two strong individuals. We don’t get to spend much time together. You are busy being a parliamentarian and I am busy being an actor. But I am and will always be there for you. You are a great girl. Stay safe. Love and prayers always! Saalgirah mubarak!! @kirronkhermp #MarriageAnniversary,” he had written.
    We wish the actor and MP a speedy recovery.

    Sneakers that have a bit of history attached to it and are steeped in legacy, will always have takers. 
    Such is the sneaker community and such is the passion of sneakerheads, especially in India, that legacy sneakers have always been put on a pedestal, and for good reason.
    © Viral Bhayani
    By that account, it seems that Asim Riaz is a massive sneakerhead. 

    Time and again we have seen him wear some really elegant, and popular sneakers. 
    Well, the most recent pair that he was seen wearing is somewhat special indeed.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Asim was recently spotted at his gym wearing one of the dopest-looking pairs of sneakers that perhaps even money can’t buy today. First, though, let’s take a look at his outfit.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Asim was seen in his typical workout outfit. 

    Asim was seen wearing a set of black skins, upon which he was wearing a rather dapper-looking pair of shorts from Nike Jordan. The oversized T-shirt that he was wearing was also a dapper-looking piece.
    © Viral Bhayani
    For those interested in getting their hands on the T-shirt, they are the Jordan 23 Engineered T-Shirt, which retails for Rs 2,195. 

    However, if you know where to look, you can pick these up for as low as Rs 1,200.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Coming to the sneakers that Asim is seen here wearing, they are every basketball fan’s dream pair of sneakers, because of its history with the GOAT, Michael Jordan.
    © Viral Bhayani
    These sneakers are the 25th Anniversary edition of the classic Air Jordan 11, that were designed for Michael Jordan’s first game after he came back from his retirement. 

    Apart from a few technical aspects, such as the material used inside the foam, not a lot has changed.
    © Nike
    The sneakers were originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, a legend among sneakerheads, who has designed a number of sneakers for Nike. 

    The sole has a carbon-fibre plate for a boosted performance while having an upper that is made of patent leather, for an added touch of luxury.
    © Nike
    25 years ago, when these sneakers launched initially, they truly were the most sophisticated and luxurious sneakers that money could buy. 

    The latest iteration, called the Air Jordan 11 Jubilee has a retail price of Rs 18, 695 in India. 
    © Nike
    However, good luck getting your hands on one of these at that price. Almost all retail stores have run out of these pair.
    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, that’s a really dope pair of sneakers that Asim’s got there. Seriously, hats off man.
