    The Samsung Galaxy Series has come a long way since its inception. It has finally culminated in an almost perfect smartphone with the S21 series this year. After years of experience in launching premium smartphones, Samsung may have finally got almost everything right with the S21 Ultra. I have been using Samsung's latest flagship for almost a week now and my experience with this smartphone has left me wanting to make this phone my primary device in 2021. From the camera to the performance to the build quality, everything seems right about the Galaxy S21. Here's what I think about Samsung's latest flagship that will be hard to beat this year.
    Design and Display  Hands down, my favourite thing about the S21 Ultra has to do with the build quality and the tone of the 'Phantom Black' colour. It's the blackest of black you can find on a smartphone and to be fair, pictures really don't do justice for the beautiful design Samsung has opted to use this year. The Galaxy S21 Ultra makes other premium smartphones feel cheap with the exception of the iPhone 12 Pro. The Galaxy S21 Ultra makes smartphones like the OnePlus 8 Pro feel like budget offerings which is a testament to what Samsung has achieved with this phone.

    At the back, you will find a very minimalistic look with a camera module at the top left corner. There is a more prominent bump this time around which didn't really bother me as much as I thought it would. It looks quite good and doesn't really interfere with the overall experience of the smartphone. Sure, you will have to use a case in case you want to keep the smartphone flat on a surface, however you will need to purchase that separately. Apart from the massive camera module, the design of the smartphone is fairly simple and elegant. We do have to mention that the phone feels great to hold in the hand, thanks to its aluminium frame.

    Much like any Samsung flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has IP68 water and dust resistance rating, supports wireless charging and uses the Infinity-O display design. Having said that, Samsung has removed the ability to expand storage, as the phone does not have a microSD slot in the SIM tray this time around. This might be disappointing for existing Samsung users who require extra storage space for apps, games and pictures.

    Samsung is known for using the best display units for its flagship phones and the case remains the same with the Galaxy S21 Ultra as well. In fact, it may just be the best display we've used on a smartphone yet - even better than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The phone has a fairly large 6.8-inch WQHD+ display with a resolution of 3,200 X 1,440. The display does have a slight curve to it but it's rather easy to use. The display also uses an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz where the screen can go as low as 10Hz for maximum battery output. Browsing on the S21 Ultra was a delight, thanks to the animations and scrolling speed optimised for OneUI 3.1. The combination of the vivid display and the great implementation of the adaptive refresh rate is by far the standout feature on the S21 Ultra here.

    Needles to say, the display quality is second to none and watching movies, TV shows, Twitch and gaming is a sublime experience on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Colour calibration on the display is extremely accurate and is not over saturated either. The display also supports HDR10+ content which makes watching content on apps like Netflix feel like a dream. In addition, users can also use the display with Samsung's stylus, the S-Pen as it now supports all the features you can use on the Galaxy Note Series. You will have to purchase the S Pen and the case separately so that you can use it more effectively.
    Camera The Galaxy S21 Ultra comes with a wide array of sensors such as a 12MP wide-angle camera, a 108MP main sensor with OIS, a 10MP 3x optical telephoto sensor with OIS, and a 10MP 10x optical telephoto sensor. In our experience, the S21 Ultra can capture some incredible images with great detail. We particularly like the 'Single Take' feature quite a bit which was also present in the Galaxy S20 Ultra as well.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The S21 Ultra's dual telephoto lens setup does help in capturing images from afar with better detail, however we do feel the images feel a bit soft. The 10X telephoto lens needs a bit of work in our opinion as the final image doesn't really feel like an image shot using optical zoom. Having said that, Samsung has improved the stability in this mode as the S22 Ultra shakes far less when zoomed as compared to its predecessor. 
    Similarly, the S21 Ultra's night mode could also use some improvement in order to catch up with its competition i.e. the iPhone 12 Series. For an Android device, the Night Mode works fairly well and beats most of the other Android devices with ease. Portrait mode on the S21 Ultra is accurate most of the time at detecting edges of people, however we do feel that there haven't been any noticeable improvements from its predecessors. Overall, the images do look quite impressive and for once, feel more balanced instead of having the usual Samsung tuning with pictures looking a bit oversaturated. Pictures look crisper than usual, however we did notice a bit of softness in low-light images taken without the Night Mode. 
    Some housekeeping notes about the camera app - it does feel a bit unintuitive to use as some features are buried deep into menus. It would be prudent if Samsung could streamline some of the key features and bring them to the forefront such as Night Mode, rather than have a user dig these features from the 'More' section. Samsung could also implement something similar to Apple where the cameras toggle night mode automatically if there isn't enough ambient light. 
    If you want to get a better idea of the Galaxy S21 Ultra's picture quality, have a look at the gallery below:

    Performance and Battery Life  © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Now, this is a hot topic for Indian consumers since Samsung uses Exynos chipsets for its smartphones that are sold in the country. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is powered by Samsung's latest 5nm Exynos 2100 chipset and unlike past experiences, Samsung has sorted out most of its silicon problems on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Right out of the box, we did not see any throttling of any kind or any overheating issues unlike the Galaxy Note 20 from last year. In fact, the Exynos 2100 may just be the best chipset Samsung has ever made and trust me when I say this, they have listened to fans this time around. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The Exynos 2100 is surpassingly well optimised in terms of performance. In some of our graphic tests, it even beat the iPhone 12 Pro this year. For example, in our 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme test, the Exynos version scored 7523 points in the test and in comparison has better performance than its predecessor, landing it a spot amongst the top five performing smartphones. Having said that, the Exynos 2100 does need better-sustained GPU performance in games like Genshin Impact or with games that have to render more assets. 
    Stability is a slight issue for larger open-world games at the moment which may be fixed in a future update. We do have to point out that games like Genshin Impact have not been optimised for Samsung's new chipset yet which could be the reason behind the stability problems. This isn't really Samsung's fault as the developer needs to optimise the game for the chipset and not the other way around. However, you should face no problems in competitive games like Call of Duty or upcoming MOBA games like League of Legends: Wild Rift. We did not notice any frame rate drops in any of our gaming sessions which is the ideal situation you want any smartphone to be in. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    If you are wondering about CPU performance, after a recent update, there was a huge difference in performance which left me quite surprised. In our Geekbench 5 test, the S21 Ultra (Exynos) scored 1035 (single-core) and 3136 (multi-core) points which are at par with recent flagship smartphones. In real life usage, the phone performed reliably well and did not falter in the overall experience. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is by far the most balanced smartphone yet, made with a chipset that may not be the popular choice amongst Android fanboys but it really does hold its own.  
    I also have to give a special shoutout to the software team at Samsung mobiles for the incredible experience we got with OneUI 3.1. The software is highly optimised for the hardware and has become our favourite Android skin this year, overtaking OxygenOS 11. Samsung has made improvements to the overall software experience that in my opinion is the best you can get right now. It feels more streamlined, stable and looks absolutely phenomenal. The only issue I have is the lack of using my own icon packs natively. Features like Samsung DeX, Link to Windows, a dedicated Kids Mode are some of the thoughtful features other phones lack. Other features like connectivity with Galaxy Buds Live, Buds+ and other Samsung accessories is flawless and is the only thing that comes close to Apple's offering.
    When I say the phone is highly optimised for the hardware, it also reflects in the battery life of the phone. The Galaxy S21 Ultra can easily last you 1.5 days, thanks to its massive 5000mAh battery. However, if you do use the display in WQHD+ mode, you can expect it to go down a bit, especially if you have adaptive refresh rate turned on for the higher resolution. The Galaxy S21 Ultra, unfortunately, does not come with a charger in the box, however the good news is you can use any third-party Power Delivery (PD) charger with the phone. The phone supports up to 25W PD fast charging and 15W wireless charging which makes it easier for existing Samsung/Android users to use their previous chargers. 
    The Final Say  Samsung has really knocked it out of the park with the Galaxy S21 Ultra this time around with a great software experience, improved performance and a premium design that is currently unmatched. With one of the best displays we've ever used on a smartphone to offer great flexibility with its cameras, the S21 Ultra will be setting a new standard for flagship devices in 2021.

    Marvel Studios' latest feature, WandaVision is given treatment like no preceding Marvel storyline. It follows the seemingly peaceful and idealised suburban lives of super-powered beings Wanda and Vision, but soon, both start to suspect and question everything around them.
    © Marvel
    The series stars Elizabeth Olsen who plays the role of Wanda Maximoff, Paul Bettany who plays the of Vision, along with Kathryn Hahn as Agnes, and Teyonah Parris who plays Monica Rambeau, Monica was introduced to everyone with Captain Marvel earlier. Here, actor Kat Dennings has reprised her role as Darcy from the films, Thor and Thor: The Dark World, and Randall Park reprises his role as Jimmy Woo from Ant-Man and The Wasp. 

    © Marvel
    WandaVision's Director and Executive Producer Matt Shakman said, "It was really important to us from the get-go that we weren't parodying sitcoms. We studied tone and style from era to era. We wanted to make sure the actors were fluent in all of these different styles. So, we had a sitcom boot camp with the cast before we began."

    © Marvel
    "We watched old episodes and we tried on different styles to figure out the physicality and the sound for each era. We wanted to make sure that what we were creating was absolutely faithful to the original touchstone shows. To that end, we watched lots of episodes, read books about the making of those shows, and interviewed, whenever possible, people who had actually worked on those shows. I went to lunch with the great Dick Van Dyke and Kevin Feige before we started production on WandaVision. That was a lovely experience and a great way to hear how they approached production on his show, which was an inspiration for our first episode.”

    © Marvel
    He also further added, “We had a wonderful dialect coach who also helped with movement and helped us sort out how people spoke differently in each era, which complemented what we learned by watching episode after episode. What we think of as being funny changes from era to era."

    © Marvel
    Talking about her experience, Writer and Executive Producer Jac Shaeffer pointed out, "I had all these posters of great series through the years for the initial pitch to the writers. We watched episodes together and everybody went home with DVDs to bone up. At the heart of all of the shows, we landed on his family. That’s what we were chasing. It’s a love story and then the twins arrive—the home is the hub, the life force of the show. We are not creating a parody of sitcoms. We really want to celebrate them and do our own version of these shows."

    WandaVision is releasing its new episodes every week on Friday. The show has each episode with a distinct theme that pays homage to a particular decade of television history.

    Sometimes, winning is easy, but what truly defines a person is how they handle that win and how respectful they are to their competitors and Ajinkya Rahane just proved to be the most humble and respectable person in that regard.
    Proud to be a part of this unit 🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/bZZupXEAfE

    The cricketer was, of course, leading the Indian cricket team in the absence of captain Virat Kohli and he was instrumental in Team India's victory against Australia in this historic test series.
    Thank you everyone for sending across all your good wishes
    It’s your constant support and belief in the team that kept us motivated to bring the trophy back home🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/koPpqcW1VW
    — Ajinkya Rahane (@ajinkyarahane88) January 20, 2021
    The entire country is celebrating, but no more than the players themselves who made this win possible, and well, rightfully so. Everyone's finally reaching India after months in Australia and they're being welcomed back with so much love and appreciation.
    Rahane returned to a grand welcome and a special cake was made for him in his honour. 
    The cake looked like a cricket pitch with a kangaroo sitting on top of it holding the Indian flag.
    © Twitter
    While the cake seemed like a genuinely great gesture for his victory, he still refused to cut it. Why, you ask?

    Well, out of respect for his opponents, of course. Since the Kangaroo is the national animal of Australia, and the Australian team is often referred to as the Kangaroos, he thought it wouldn't be appropriate to cut the animal on top of the cake. 
    So wholesome, this is why cricket is called the gentlemen's game.

    The whole incident was telecasted on a Marathi news channel, TV9 Marathi.
    Very inspiring.
    Great gesture @ajinkyarahane88!
    Your simplicity, humbleness, sportsmanship & dignity is very inspiring. pic.twitter.com/BHdXC3zC6f

    That lady was telling 'Cut the Kangaroo' but he politely declined

    What is that picture, though?
    Ajinkya Rahane refused to cut cake with kangaroo on top of it.

    If I could calculate respect for him it would be more than SENSEX these days...

    He did cut a non-kangaroo cake!
    In this covid time they are celebrating with cutting cake

    Rahane, who was expected to pull out miracle victories with a struggling Team India in the absence of Virat Kohli, turned out to be an absolute wizard as the captain.

    Team India defeated Australia in the fourth and final Test of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the infamous ‘Gabba Fortress’, the stadium in which the hosts hadn’t lost a single Test match in the last 33 years.

    © Reuters
    And contrary to what happens in most of the white-ball matches, this series win was not the result of the efforts put in by anyone or two “in-form” players. 

    It was truly a cohesive effort by the deep talent pool of Indian cricket that made this remarkable journey come to such an elite conclusion.

    Arjun Kapoor has come a long way in the fashion department and his style aesthetics have transformed manyfold. He has been experimenting with various silhouettes and to make it stand out, he has also worn some spiffy pair of sneakers. He has looked every inch of dapper, in his shoes including Nike Cactus sneakers, security tag inspired shoes and dirty sneakers. Be it at the airport or at the gym, Arjun never leaves without ensuring that he looks on-point no matter what he chooses to wear.

    Add to that, the shorts that he is wearing comes in a complete tracksuit style, which costs Rs 72,000 separately. Again, the shorts, too, have a side detailing of Gucci's branding.

    Overall, the tracksuit looks classic and with an addition of zany sneakers here, the outfit looks even more dope. This is a perfect athleisure look if you ask us.

    If you were to tell me that the Hitman series would become one of my favourite stealth games of all time, I would not take you seriously. However, that’s exactly what IO interactive has managed to achieve with the third and final instalment of the modern Hitman series. I’ve been craving a Splinter Cell-like stealth game all of the last generation and Hitman 3 fulfilled my needs this time. Previous titles in the franchise were a bit goofy and lacked a compelling narrative that makes me care about the franchise. However, with Hitman 3, IO Interactive has managed to turn all of that around and delivered a Hitman game that also has a great storyline.
    © IO Interactive
    The Hitman series’ formula has not changed much from a decade ago, however the new games offer more freedom than ever before. Hitman 3 has a total of six missions and it's up to you how you want to go about them. Each mission starts with a briefing in the style of a Mission: Impossible movie and the first level even seems inspired by Ghost Protocol. While six missions may not sound like a great deal, each mission can be replayed to death with countless variables or styles of play. You can also play different levels in different modes to amp up the difficulty or completely change how a level can be played again.
    © IO Interactive
    To spice things up, IO Interactive have also included a level set in an old family mansion where you have to solve a murder mystery. You get to check out the secret passages and disguise yourself as a detective or sleuth. It is a big departure from Hitman’s traditional mechanics and how levels play out but we liked how it shakes up the traditional style of playing Hitman is known for.

    Every mission is different from each other and has been designed with painstaking detail, giving you the freedom to approach it in every manner possible. You can poison your target, go in guns blazing or come up with creative ways to eliminate your target. Much like thriller movies, the game takes you to different parts of the world with each mission. The first missions take place in a glamourous Dubai skyscraper while in another you might find yourself in a nightclub in Berlin. Each level offers something new that makes you want to replay missions and approach them differently each time. Each mission offers a different level of immersion that I truly did not expect from a Hitman game. IO Interactive has managed to craft levels that will be remembered until the franchise makes a return.  
    © IO Interactive
    As we mentioned before, Hitman 3 is a huge departure from previous games where it tones down the goofiness and takes itself seriously. There’s an overarching story here which takes the game back to its roots instead of being a sandbox game. The story is quite intriguing and very much in line with spy movies you may have seen in the past decade. The plot of the game is mostly enjoyable, but some of the conspiracy tropes were quite predictable. Nevertheless, it still is a great story to experience in the end as it ends Agent 47’s story on a high note.
    © IO Interactive
    When it comes to the game mechanics, Hitman 3 has not expanded much, probably because there was nothing left to fix. The “don't fix it if it ain't broke” idiom is perfectly applicable here as every mechanic from the starting of the franchise is at your disposal here. While I would have liked to see some new gadgets thrown into the mix, we only get a smart camera that aids in achieving objectives, surveying your surroundings and solving puzzles. The new gadget doesn’t reinvent the wheel in any way or form, however it is a welcome addition to your arsenal. Apart from the new gadget addition, Hitman 3 is still very much a stealth game where you have to focus on sneaking past people, change disguises if suspected and hide bodies in closets like the previous game. It’s very much a sequel to Hitman 2 in terms of gameplay but this time around there is focus on the story as well. While the formula largely remains the same, you will experience some twists and unexpected moments that show us what future Hitman games can become.

    The Final VerdictHitman 3 is probably the best game in the new trilogy that puts more focus on the story while keeping the gameplay mechanics true to its roots. From exhilarating levels to beautiful graphics and a compelling story, Hitman 3 is the perfect send-off any franchise could get.

    A hilarious turn of events has made The Greek Prime Minister an overnight sensation on social media. 
    Let's take you through the events that quickly made his name enter the list of heartthrobs in the country.
    © Reuters
    Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the 52-year-old Greek Prime Minister had gone to receive his second dose of the vaccine at the Attikon hospital, on Monday. 
    In order to seamlessly complete the procedure, he had to take off his shirt rather than rolling his sleeves up. When he took off his shirt to reveal his bare shirt, a couple of photos were taken which were later posted on social media. 
    A photo from the moment is making rounds on social media which left people admiring the Greek Prime Minister's bare chest.

    The Greek Prime Minister has now become an instant *** symbol after he receiving his COVID-19 vaccine shot.
    Underneath his shirt,  the Prime Minister has a toned and ripped physique that people on the internet clearly noticed. 
    In fact, internet users started downright thirsting after the PM, calling him things like, “daddy” and “hella sexy”.

    One can be well-groomed without having to remove chest hair contrary to some popular misconceptions out there.
    The Greek Prime Minister, Mr Mitsotakis received his first shot first on December 27, this was when the doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had first rolled out across different countries in the European Union.
    The PM had pointed out how the rollout was “a great day for science and the European Union. We hope that, with time, even those of our fellow citizens who are suspicious of vaccination will be convinced it is the right thing to do.” 
    He was one of the first people in Greece to get the first dose of the vaccine back in December. 
    Following the rounds of vaccination of healthcare workers and vulnerable people, Greece has begun vaccinating the 'general population' earlier this month.

    Recently a major fire broke out at the Pune-based vaccine manufacturing company, Serum Institute of India on Thursday.

    The company is involved in producing the COVID-19 vaccine Covishield which was developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca which has been given emergency authorization in India and will be used in the country’s mega vaccination drive.

    According to PTI, Deputy Commissioner of Police Namrata Patil said that the fire broke out around 2:45 pm and on the fifth floor of the SEZ 3 building in the Serum Institute.
    She said, "As per the primary information, three people have been evacuated. 10 fire tenders have reached the site of the mishap. One team of NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) moved to the site as well.”

    — ANI (@ANI) January 21, 2021
    Nobody yet knows the cause of the fire and no casualties have been reported yet. The Manjari facility is where the fire first broke and that’s where the Covishield vaccine is made.
    However, this incident would not impact the production of the Coronavirus vaccine as the fire broke out in a facility away from the place where the anti-coronavirus vaccines are made.
    Also, the site where the fire first broke out is an under-construction building at SII. ANI quoted that the vaccine manufacturing plant is sorted and everything is under control.
    Now visuals of the incident have flooded social media and show smoke coming out of the buildings-
    Looks like a major fire at the Serum Institute of India, the manufacturer of the Covishield vaccine. Hope everyone is safe.

    Varun Dhawan too has banked on this style several times and the formula has worked for him often. 

    Dhawan is quite fashion-forward with his choices. Even though he is mostly seen wearing Reebok sneakers, he still never fails to make every look count. 
    Think colourful sneakers, classic legacy shoes or dad sneakers, Varun has plausibly done it all.

    Varun is wearing Brain Dead sneakers by Reebok and the iconic silhouette comes draped in mesh and nappy suede. 

    These also have the brain dead logo on the tongue tag and the sides. Add to that, the sneakers have fuzzy yellow laces.

    Coming to his outfit, we are a fan of his cargo pants here, since they have extra long strap protruding out of the pockets. Not just that, these pants are also minimally distressed. 

    He has paired it with a white T-shirt and layered it with a grey hoodie. Overall, this is a perfect mix of street-style fashion.

    Shardul Thakur surely is on cloud nine. 
    After a stunning performance at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, particularly in the test match in Gabba, it is actually reasonable to expect one of the star performers to be so ecstatic.

    It seems that apart from smashing Australian bowlers to smithereens, Shardul also knows how to dress down in style.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Recently, he was spotted at the Mumbai Airport, returning with the Indian Cricket Team after their Australian tour, where he was spotted in perhaps one of the coolest outfits that one can wear while taking a flight.

    Shardul was seen wearing a white T-shirt with basic black joggers. On top of that, he had thrown on an oversized jacket in military camouflage. 

    What caught our eye though, was the rather quirky pair of sneakers that he was wearing.

    Shardul was seen wearing the Jordan Max 200 Lace-Up Sneakers from Nike. 

    Designed in collaboration with Michael Jordan, arguable one of the all-time greats of basketball, the Jordan Max 200s or the Air200s as they are commonly referred to, are a pair of legacy sneakers.

    Although they are available in a number of colourways, the one that Shardul is seen wearing, in white, cream and red, was one of the original designs that was commissioned by Jordan.

    One would assume that such legacy sneakers would be insanely expensive. Although they aren’t exactly cheap, they are actually quite affordable, when you consider the legacy of those sneakers.

    © Viral Bhayani
    While the Jordan 200s are listed for an MRP of Rs 10,495, you can actually pick these up for as low as Rs 6,000 if you know where to shop, and if you play your cards right.

    Another piece that caught our eye was Shardul’s bright yellow Backpack. 

    They are customised piece from Brune By Voga-Now, one of India’s most prominent luxury leather product makers. They also supply the Indian cricket team with their backpacks and duffle bags.

    The particular backpack that we see Shardul carrying here is a customised version of the CZ-92, which retails for about Rs 21,999. 

    Depending on your customisations, you’re looking at a price tag of roughly Rs 25,000-Rs 30,000.

    It is actually quite nice to see Indian brands being appreciated by Indian athletes. As for Shardul, all we can say is, take a bow, man.

    Karan Singh Grover has a dope sense of style. From acing power suits to acing a classic, Indian ethnic outfit, the man has done it all. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    His street outfits, however, are on a different playing field altogether. Very often you will see him wearing some dope looking drop-crotch pants or jogger pyjamas, and some very casual slippers.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Well, he was spotted with Bipasha Basu once again wearing something similar, and boy oh boy, does he look awesome. Karan was seen wearing an unstructured T-shirt, and a waterfall cardigan, and his trademark drop-crotch pyjamas. And of course, there was his trademark pair of slippers, this time in white.

    © Viral Bhayani
    However, the piece that caught everyone’s attention, was the watch that he was wearing.

    Now, we have seen a lot of celebrities wearing some really dope looking watches. There was this awesome piece from Hardik Pandya, and also this exotic looking piece from Honey Singh. However, the piece that Karan was seen wearing trumps them all, even though it may be a quarter of the price of what those guys were wearing.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Karan is seen here wearing a rather sic looking piece from Hublot, the Swiss luxury watchmaker, based out of Geneva. He is wearing the Big Bang Unico Blue Magic. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    The main case is made out of polished ceramic. The watch has an in-house movement, the HUB1242 Unico Chronograph, which consists of 330 parts, and 43 jewels. It is a work of art, to say the least.

    © Hublot
    The bezel, just like the case, is made of polished blue ceramic and has all of Hublot’s signature design elements - a hexagon, titanium screws et al. All of this gives the watch a very robust appeal.

    © Hublot
    Hublot limited the production of the Blue Magic to just 500 pieces all around the world, which basically means that if someday, the Blue Magic turns out to be a classic Hublot piece, which is extremely collectible for Hublot fans, the watch may be expensive.

    As of now, getting your hands on one of these will be a task, as they are really difficult to locate in retail. Even if you do manage to find one in retail, be prepared to shell out about $20,900, or roughly Rs 16.75 Lakhs. Add to that your customs and imports and you’re looking at a figure over Rs 25 Lakhs.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Now that’s one heck of a way to tell the world that you’re a baller of a guy when it comes to fashion and style. Well done, Karan, well done indeed.

    Mirzapur is one of the most beloved shows on an OTT platform across the country.  
    People loved the first season so much, they were literally counting down the days for the second season to come out.
    © Prime Video
    Reportedly, the Supreme Court has sent an official notice to Mirzapur and Prime Video, the platform where it's available to stream, because of a complaint filed about how the web series 'maligns' the image of Mirzapur as well as the state of Uttar Pradesh.

    #Mirzapur pic.twitter.com/L4ou0TSKxI
    — NDTV (@ndtv) January 21, 2021
    Yes, we all know Uttar Pradesh is one of the best places in India to live and no, of course, we wouldn't want people to think otherwise. 
    UP is known for how safe it is, especially for women, and what great infrastructure it has. 
    UP CM Yogi Adityanath has also done so much to better the condition of the state and not just rename a few places.
    People are, obviously, unhappy with a fictional show being subjected to this and of course, are questioning the Supreme Court if they're entertaining such complaints instead of working on the real important issues.
