    PUBG Mobile has experienced a rocky 2020 but it doesn’t seem like the game is going to slow down anytime soon. In fact, PUBG Mobile was the highest earning mobile game this year with over $2 billion in revenues followed by other games such as Honor of Kings, Pokémon GO, Coin Master, and Roblox with earnings exceeding $1 billion.

    PUBG Mobile’s earnings included the combined revenue from the Chinese version Game for Peace that raked in $2.6 billion. The game experienced an increase of 64.3 percent from last year even though it was banned in one of its biggest markets for the better half of 2020. 

    Pokemon Go still continues to earn over $1 billion which is quite impressive as the game relies on augmented reality features that encourage users to venture out in the real world. It is especially impressive as players of the game were confined to their homes because of the COVID-19 pandemic, following which new features were introduced that adapted to the new normal.

    The insights come from Sensor Tower, an organisation that analyses and researches the global app economy each year. The list does not break down revenue according to iOS and Google Play users. 

    “PUBG Mobile, combined with the Chinese localisation of the title, Game For Peace, is the No. 1 revenue-generator globally across the App Store and Google Play in 2020, accumulating close to $2.6 billion since the start of the year, up 64.3 percent from 2019,” the report said.

    It would be interesting to see how much money PUBG Mobile lost in terms of revenue due to the ban of the game in India. Having said that, these figures also show that spending by Indian gamers in the game were not significant enough to even put a dent on the overall revenue generated by the popular battle-royal game. The game garnered the highest revenues even without its Indian users. 

    PUBG Mobile is expected to make a return to the Indian market soon, however it is currently facing hurdles from the Indian Government as explained here.

    The much-awaited Shakeela trailer is out featuring Richa Chaddha and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead roles. 


    It is a biopic on the popular adult star Shakeela, who ruled the South Indian film industry for more than two decades. 
    Who Is Shakeela & Why Is A Biopic Being Made On Her  © Twitter
    For the uninitiated, Shakeela is an extremely popular name down South. She ruled the Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu film industry back in the 90s. 

    In a way, her career trajectory has been similar to that of the late Silk Smitha, portrayed by Vidya Balan in the 2012 film The Dirty Picture. 
    Just like Silk, Shakeela was a star in her own right in the 90s, had a considerable amount of fan following and yet, was never considered as an A-lister.  
    Her Early Life © WordDisk
    Born as C Shakeela Begum in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh to a lower-middle-class family, Shakeela had a difficult life growing up. 

    Her father did meagre jobs to make ends meet and she was part of a large family of six siblings-  which is why Shakeela decided to drop out of school at an early age to earn for her family.  
    Shakeela’s initial earnings were low and did not help to support the family. A voluptuous teenager, she got compliments about her body and her face which made her try her hand at modelling and B-grade films. 
    Did you know Silk Smitha was her inspiration?  
    © TOI
    Calling Silk her inspiration, Shakeela modelled her career like her and started doing soft-porn, B-grade films. 

    Shakeela’s Cinematic Journey The 47-year-old’s initial films did not do too well at the box office. It was in the early 80s when Silk was already ruling the hearts of millions with her sensual roles, and Shakeela found herself being almost overlooked. 
    Later, Shakeela made her adult film debut in Play Girls. She played the role of a young *** addict and the younger sister of the character played by Silk Smitha, in the same movie. 
    Things started to turn in her favour as the film made people sit up and take notice of Shakeela, despite the presence of Silk.  
    Shakeela’s Rise To Stardom © Twitter
    Not many of you would know, but Shakeela’s rise to stardom came when Silk’s career was dipping. 

    However, while roles and film offers came in plenty for Shakeela, most did not want to pay her. She reportedly worked for free for many filmmakers in order to become a familiar face in B-grade films. 
    Her breakthrough came with a soft-core film titled, Kinnarathumbikal in 2000. Made in Malayalam, the film became such a hit with the audiences that it was dubbed in more than six languages owing to its popularity. 
    However, over the years, even though Shakeela tried to do family-oriented roles, her image as an adult film actor has been the most popular one.

    If we look closely, even though she has a huge fan following as some of her films have been dubbed in other Asian languages, not much is known of her personal life. 

    Which is why a biopic around the enigma of Shakeela will help in throwing light on her life, and her struggles - just like The Dirty Picture, which also, in a way, shed light on the murky business of B-Grade cinema. 
    © BCCL
    In one of her interviews with the Bangalore Mirror, on being asked about having any regrets over being a porn star, Shakeela said, “No. I have no regrets about being a porn artiste. I am here because of my porn artiste status. I have given my consent to act in 20 movies of Telugu, Tamil and other languages.” 

    In the interview, she also opened up about how her relatives, including her boyfriend, betrayed her. She said they were ready to reap the benefits of her hard work but had no time to even wish her luck. 
    And about the upcoming biopic on her, she said, “I agree with the way the biopic has been made. It is like a hot mutton biriyani made with a lot of spices.” 
    Helmed by Indrajit Lankesh, Shakeela is scheduled to be released on December 25.

    Bollywood has been a male-dominated industry for years and continues to be so even today. This is evident from the fact that while we do have stories for male actors over 50 but sadly, the industry still falls short when it comes to presenting stories with female actors over a certain age as lead protagonists.
    Dia Mirza has spoken about the industry being ruled by men at length and has given valid arguments, in her interview with ETimes, to prove her stance on the very topic.
    1. She addressed the bitter but unfortunate truth of Bollywood wherein not many roles are there for older actresses. She said, “I hope that this expression of female actors allows them to play the leading part even when they are older. But the unfortunate truth of the matter is that stories are not written for the female older characters as much as the male ones. It is even more unfortunate to see an older man playing younger parts."

    2. She added how female actors over a certain age have to ask for work and she gave the example of Neena Gupta who despite being talented wasn’t offered any role and had to struggle for her due. Dia said, "An aberration to this would be an actress like Neena Gupta Ji. She literally has said it out loud more than once, 'I am an actor. I love my job. Please cast me.' Thankfully, some interesting filmmakers decided to cast her in lead parts that were defeating her age. But there are a lot of actresses in their middle ages who are struggling and aren’t being cast because no stories are being written for them."

    3. Dia pointed out how the industry is comfortable with the fact that a 50-year old is sharing screen space with someone half his age but that’s not the case with older female actors. “The industry is male-dominated. Older men like to be cast opposite younger women to extend their own shelf life. It is bizarre that a 50 plus something actor is acting opposite a 19-year-old actress,” Dia stated. And she isn't wrong as actors like Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan have shared the screen space with actresses half their age.

    Dreams aren’t just the makings of our mind. Dreams often serve as the only fuel that keeps us going in life, despite the lemons that life throws our way. There isn’t a greater thrill than chasing after a dream that fuels the heart day and night. No greater happiness than to find our dreams turn into reality, and all because you swore to never give up no matter what.
    © TOI
    Then every hurdle turns into a learning curve, and every setback is nothing more than a test of our determination and patience. And that’s exactly what 28-year-old newly-appointed Indian Army officer Balbanka Tiwari’s journey has been like and it’s nothing short of inspiring.

    From being a factory worker at 16, to slogging his way to become an Indian Army sepoy and then climbing up the ladder to become an IMA-graduate officer in the Indian Armed Forces, Balbanka’s journey is proof that hard work and determination can help rewrite one’s fate as well as future.
    The Back Story © Quora (Representative Image)
    Officer Tiwari was still a minor at 16-years-old when he was forced to leave his hometown Arrah in Bihar right after his high school graduation to look for employment opportunities. That is how a young Balbanka found himself in Rourkela in Odisha.

    Coming from a family of limited means, Balbanka had to figure out a way to make some extra bucks that could add to the family’s meager income, given that the only earning member in his family, his father, worked as a farmer.
    The Tough Life © economictimes
    When finding great prospects in Rourkela didn’t seem like an option, Balbanka found himself working as a factory worker where he cut iron springs and rods. Still a minor, Balbanka worked hard for more than 12 hours every single day to earn anything between Rs 50 to 100. From there he went on to work at a namkeen factory.

    All the while, Balbanka kept pursuing his studies and even took tuitions so that his dream to join the Indian Army wouldn’t die a quick death.
    The Wheel Of Fortune Turn © TOI
    Balbanka’s first big break came when he cracked the entrance exam of the Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME) Centre of the Army in Bhopal on his second attempt. In the following five years, he graduated to working there as a sepoy and prepared for the Army Cadet College exams on the side. He finally succeeded in cracking it in 2017 and that allowed him to transition from a soldier to an officer. 

    Officer Tiwari finally graduated from the Indian Military Academy, Dehra Dun this weekend and shared his feelings with TOI, “I am so happy I will serve the nation as an officer. My father will pick up the newspaper in the morning and will likely tell everyone around that I made our village proud.”
    Officer Tiwari’s journey is proof that hard work, determination and faith in one’s dreams can take them places, no matter how difficult the journey is.

    The trailer of Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi starrer Shakeela has been unveiled and if you have seen the trailer of the movie, you have an idea that the film is about the story of the soft-porn Malayalam star Shakeela in the late 90s and early 2000s. Shakeela was forced to join the adult film industry after her father's death. After giving back-to-back hits, she was declared a superstar. 
    The trailer gives you the glimpses of the highs and lows of her life. Richa has completely transformed herself into Shakeela and Pankaj Tripathi has joined her in telling the story. Talking about the film, director Inderjit Lankesh said, "Shakeela is truly a labor of love and commitment to show Shakeela’s story is iconic in so many ways. Her story is almost folklore today, but the truth is that so much happened to her while she soared to success from nothing and then came back to nothing again. I’m happy that our producers are releasing the film so widely, giving me the confidence to know that it’s a film that will appeal to the larger masses. To release in so many languages was important because that was the power of Shakeela."
    Here’s the trailer:

    In the statement shared to the press, Pankaj Tripathi said, “I am thrilled that our little labour of love Shakeela is all set to release in theatres this Christmas. I am so excited about the film because I have worked with the very talented friend Richa Chadha in this film."
    Despite Pankaj being a part of the movie, people are unhappy after seeing the trailer as they think Richa can’t ever match the level of Vidya Balan’s charm and they also termed it as a cheap version of The Dirty Picture.

    Kangana Ranaut and Diljit Dosanjh's fight on Twitter a couple of weeks ago provided us with the most amount of entertainment we've had this entire year.
    The way Diljit hit back at Kangana being crass with his savage Punjabi burns was a beautiful sight and it even inspired people to actually learn Punjabi to understand the emotions behind Diljit's words.
    © Instagram
    But, after that, both of them had mostly laid off of each other, but the continuation of their fight was honestly inevitable. 

    Kangana is used to having the last word and she was not about to let Diljit have a win over her.
    © Star World
    So, that brings us to the second round in Diljit vs Kangana. Ding ding ding, it's begun.

    Earlier today, Kangana called out Diljit as well as Priyanka Chopra while retweeting a video by VFN News.
    मैं चाहती हूँ कि @diljitdosanjh और @priyankachopra जी जो किसानों केलिये लोकल क्रांतिकारियों की भूमिका में दिखे कम से कम एक विडीओ की माध्यम से किसानों को ये तो बताएँ की उनको विरोध किस बात का करना है,दोनों किसानों को भड़काकर ग़ायब हो गए हैं, और देखो किसानों की और देश की ये हालत है। https://t.co/k6G8YRVItQ
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) December 16, 2020
    जब प्रसिद्ध और जाने माने कलाकार मासूमों को भड़काते हैं,देश में शाहीन बाग़ जैसे दंग्गे/किसान आंदोलन जैसे विरोध करवाते हैं तो क्या सरकार को उनके ख़िलाफ़ किसी तरह की करवाई या केस नहीं करना चाहिए?क्या इस तरह की देश विरोधी गतिविधियों में खुल कर हिस्सा लेने वालों केलिये कोई सजा नहीं?
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) December 16, 2020
    While Diljit has not directly replied to her, he did share some tweets, and the timing and context point to them being a retort for Kangana.
    Looks like he's laughing at Kangana still trying to win over him.

    Josh Brolin has never shied from talking about his naked adventures. 

    Remember when he burned his butthole while 'butt-chugging' sunlight and shared his hilarious sunburn story with everyone?  
    View this post on Instagram
    Now, he's chilling fully naked, thankfully not pointing his butthole to the sun, and had a pretty philosophical thought about it.
    View this post on InstagramHe wrote, "At the end of the day, life will be judged by how often you were naked. Nobody told they meant metaphorically." 
    But, people had another thought about this whole thing that involves his famous giant purple character, of course.

    People were quick to point out that we're finally seeing what Thanos' retirement plan actually was, and honestly, it looks pretty spot on. 

    This totally looks like what Thanos must have done after snapping half of the universe's life into thin air.

    Holding up pretty good, I suppose.

    Way too easy for Ant-Man to enact that one plan.

    My heart breaks each time I drop a phone and for most people, it tends to be a nightmare they don't want becoming a reality. However, have you ever imagined dropping your phone from a plane? Because that happened to this man who was trying to capture footage from his iPhone 6s for a Brazilian documentary. 
    Filmmaker Ernesto Galiotto literally dropped his iPhone from the sky and the most shocking part of this story is the fact that the phone survived. To add more to the shock, the entire action was recorded as a video and gives you a glimpse of the phone’s entire freefall. 
    © Youtube_G1
    Galiotto was flying over a beach in Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro and was trying to capture video footage from the phone with one hand. He was travelling in a small plane and had the window open while taking the shots. Due to heavy winds, the phone slipped from his hand and tumbled all the way to the ground. 

    The filmmaker assumed he had lost his iPhone, however he soon found the phone using the Find My app. The phone was still located in the middle of the beach and he went to the location to recover his phone. The phone was found in nearly intact condition and was working as it was intended to. 
    “I had faith that I would recover it. I thought, ‘If it didn’t fall in the water, we’ll find it. For a few meters I could have hit a person — and, at that height I was flying, 2,000 feet, it was going to be a tragedy, can you imagine? But it wasn’t a tragedy, it had many emotions” Galiotto said.
    © Youtube_G1
    The phone was only protected by a regular silicon case and survived the fall with only a few scratches. There was a screen protector as well. In fact, if it weren’t for the recorded video, we doubt anyone would believe this story. “It’s something that, if you tell someone, they won’t believe,” Galiotto said.
