    Bollywood, more often than not, showcases the most unrealistic and unattainable things in life that are just not that relatable to the average person. The over the top romances and plot points is just too far removed from the normal world.
    Which is why seeing some relatable content once in a while is pretty great, and it brings down the unattainable aspect of the movies within reach.
    While there are a lot of movies about families and sanskaars, there are a few lighthearted and deep movies about dysfunctional families that we could see some of our families in:
    1. Dil Dhadakne Do © Excel Entertainment
    No, I'm not saying that a lot of people can relate to the extremely rich business family from Delhi who can easily afford to take 15 close friends of a luxurious vacation, but deep down, the Mehras are just like any other desi family.

    Marrying off the daughter when she reached a certain age? Check. 
    Handing over the family business to the son, not caring if he actually wants it or not? Check. 
    Fixing your kid's marriage on the basis of a business deal? And, check.

    While the problems they had came from a very privileged place, overall, this family drama had something that people could relate to and calling them dysfunctional would be an understatement.

    2. Kapoor and Sons © Dharma Productions
    A proper family drama about one of the most dysfunctional families in Bollywood. The movie works because of the interesting storyline and how it's portrayed.

    The conflict between brothers because of parents seemingly favouring one over the other, the parents struggling because of an extra marital affair, the family coming to terms with one son's homosexuality - these are all very real conflicts that can be found in a lot of families and the story was supported on screen by brilliant performances.

    Moreover, there is nothing cooler than Rishi Kapoor playing a 90-year-old who smokes weed with his grandsons.

    3. Piku © Yash Raj Films
    The quirky movie was truly a breath of fresh air for Bollywood and Piku's relationship with her over-the-top father makes for a really great movie.

    We all love our parents, even when they get on our last nerves with their antics and this movie managed to perfectly portray a real father-daughter relationship.

    The best part about the movie is that even though it has some of the biggest names in Bollywood in the lead, the unique setting and story is what makes this movie so much more special.

    4. Dear Zindagi © Red Chillies Entertainment
    Again, a different movie than the typical romance stories, Dear Zindagi did help fight against the taboo that is mental illness. (Which may or may not have sadly been undone this year)

    While the movie doesn't exactly focus on Kaira's family, it does show how due to her not having a healthy and nurturing upbringing, she faces so many emotional problems as an independent adult.

    All dysfunctional families are not quirky and this one made a poignant point of showing that seemingly harmless things can mess up a person a lot.

    5. Vicky Donor © Rising Sun Films
    All I have to say is that I will die for Vicky's mother and grandmother. The unconventional family has the bahu and saas sharing pegs and breaking societal norms, in a way.

    The entire movie was so different but Vicky's hilarious family steals the show, especially during his wedding with an entire 'car-o-bar' going on outside.

    Apple's iOS 14 is one of the most feature-rich iOS releases and love how it looks and feels on the newer iPhones. But if you're still rocking one of the older iPhones and have just updated to the new software, it may feel slightly sluggish.
    We suggest you give the OS some time to settle in before troubleshooting. But if the problem persists then here are some simple tips to help you speed your old sluggish iPhone -
    Force Restart Your iPhoneThis may sound like a very basic move but sometimes this is enough to get things going. Here's how you can do it on different iPhones -
    On iPhone 8 or Later or iPad without Home Button: Simply press and quickly release the volume up button. Then, press and quickly release the volume down button. Once done, just hold down the power button until you see the Apple logo.
    On iPhone 7/7 Plus: Press and hold the volume down button and the side button simultaneously. This should bring up the Apple logo.
    On iPhone 6s or later or iPad with Home Button: Press and hold the home button and power button simultaneously. This should bring up the Apple logo and your phone should restart.
    Once this is done, see if it has improved the performance. If it has then you don't have to worry about checking out other tips here.
    Check For The Latest Update © Apple
    Just because your iPhone is running on the latest OS version, it doesn't mean you're on the best software version. Apple keeps releasing new OS versions with small/major bug fixes and it's best to keep your device up-to-date at all times. Just check if there's a new software update that may end up fixing some issues.

    Clean Up Your iPhone © Apple
    Keeping a tab on unnecessary files and wiping them regularly also helps to keep your iPhone's performance optimum. Sometimes just cluttered storage is enough to slow things down. We suggest you go to Settings app -> General -> iPhone/iPad Storage and see how your iPhone's storage is currently in use. We suggest you look for redundant files and remove them.

    Keep Tabs On Resource Hogging Features © Unsplash
    Every smartphone, including the iPhones, have some resource-hogging features like background app refresh and location services that may impact your device's performance by a huge margin. We suggest you keep tabs on them and take control. You'll often find them in your settings apps, so be sure to explore them.

    A pulsating tournament and an exciting title defence, the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League found its rightful winner in Mumbai Indians (MI) who didn't really have to break a sweat to triumph over Delhi Capitals (DC) in the summit clash.
    While the recently-concluded had no shortage of batting carnage, it was great to see the bowlers, for once, giving their counterparts a run for their money in a format that heavily favours the batsmen. If KL Rahul ran amok with the willow, scoring 670 runs, the fact that Kagiso Rabada took 30 wickets goes on to show how good the contest between bat and ball was this season.
    Though taking wickets is surely important, this year's IPL also witnessed the bowlers showing their brilliance in another aspect of the game. Bowling dot balls might not garner instant rewards like taking a wicket does, but it surely adds to the pressure and undeniably remains one of the crucial weapons in the armoury for any bowling unit.
    Here's a look at 5 bowlers who bowled the most number of dot balls in IPL this season:
    1. Jofra Archer  © Twitter/@IPL
    Rajasthan Royals might have endured a forgettable outing, finishing at the bottom of the table, this season, but Jofra Archer was undoubtedly in a class of his own. 

    The England seamer was not only the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan in IPL 2020, but he also finished the tournament with the most number of dot balls. In 14 matches he played, Archer bowled 55.4 overs including a staggering 175 dot balls.
    2. Jasprit Bumrah  © Twitter/@IPL
    A proven match-winner for his franchise, Jasprit Bumrah has been clinical for Mumbai Indians over the years and this season was no different. The right-arm seamer was key to Mumbai's successful title defence as he finished the tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker this season. 

    In 15 matches he played, Bumrah bowled 60 overs and as many as 175 dot balls. He is only second on the list owing to an extra game he played as opposed to Archer.
    3. Rashid Khan  © Twitter/@IPL
    Just like Archer and Bumrah, Rashid Khan has been an integral part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad brigade over the years. 

    The Afghanistan spinner was in ominous form this season, finishing as the leading wicket-taker for Hyderabad. Apart from his impressive tally of wickets, Rashid bowled 64 overs and 168 dot balls in 16 games he played this season.
    4. Anrich Nortje  © Twitter/@IPL
    For someone who was roped in as a replacement for Chris Woakes, Anrich Nortje has been a find of the tournament for Delhi Capitals. The South African seamer impressed everyone with his steaming deliveries and forged a key partnership with fellow countryman Kagiso Rabada to add teeth to Delhi's bowling attack. 

    He finished the season as the second-highest wicket-taker, only behind Rabada, for Delhi. In 16 games he played, Nortje bowled 61 overs and 160 dot balls to aid his team.
    5. Trent Boult  © Twitter/@IPL
    If Nortje forged a key partnership with Rabada to aid Delhi, Trent Boult complimented Bumrah in equal measure to take Mumbai to a record 5th IPL title triumph. 

    The New Zealander, like Nortje, finished the season as the second-highest wicket-taker, only behind Bumrah, for his franchise. In 15 matches he played, Boult bowled 57.2 overs and 157 dot balls, proving his mettle as a prolific bowler for Mumbai.

    Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is now out for the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 after it was teased for months by Sony Interactive Entertainment. We reviewed the game last week and think it's a near-perfect game that has a captivating story. From the gameplay to the open-world playground to the voice acting, everything is near perfect. If you want to know in detail what we think about the game, check out our full review here. However, now that the game is out and if you want to know more about the game, we’ve got you covered. 
    Is it a Standalone Game? © MensXP_Sony Interactive Entertainment
    Yes, you can jump right into the story of Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales without ever having to play the previous game. However, we do recommend playing the first game just for some context in case you want to know how Miles got his powers and what made him pursue the life of a superhero. The story is completely standalone that has its own set-pieces, story arcs, new villains and new side quests. Peter Parker is in the game too though, however this game is all about Miles.

    How is Miles different from Peter Parker? © MensXP_Sony Interactive Entertainment
    Miles is a different Spider-Man, a superhero of his own who has new powers to use while combating enemies. He has the ability to go invisible that adds a new layer of stealth and also bioelectricity superpowers that Peter does not have. There are new combat mechanics as well that introduce these powers to the player which you can use to your advantage in tight situations. Miles’ new powers really do change how one can play as Spider-Man. 

    How Long is The Game? © MensXP_Sony Interactive Entertainment
    Even though the game has a stand-alone story, it can last anywhere between 10-15 hours depending on your playstyle. If you are a completionist type of player, you can easily spend 20 hours by doing side missions, in-game activities and the story. If you are just interested in the story, the game will last for about 10 hours in total. 

    PlayStation 5 Compatibility  © MensXP_Sony Interactive Entertainment
    If you purchase the game on the PlayStation 4, you will get a free upgrade for the PlayStation 5. The next-gen version of the gaming will have near-instant loading, ray-tracing, 3D audio, and cool DualSense controller features. There will also be a big upgrade in terms of textures, improved skin shading, and spline-based hair make for more realistic looking characters. 

    Release Date  © MensXP_Sony Interactive Entertainment
    The game will be available to play from November 12th on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5. The game has been developed by Insomniac Games and is being published exclusively for the PlayStation platform. It will be available in different editions i.e. the standard edition will have a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 if the PS5 version is owned. However, The Ultimate Edition is available for the PlayStation 5 which bundles the remastered version of Spider-Man.

    While people usually spend Diwali with their family or attend a number of Diwali parties in a row, that is definitely not an option this year, courtesy the Coronavirus pandemic. 
    This means that people are also using the holiday time to get away from the city. This mindset applies to Bollywood celebrities as well, who have been taking off for vacations across the globe. 
    Recently, Tiger Shroff left the country and headed to the Maldives to spend Diwali there.

    But, we're going to talk particularly about his airport look here.  
    It is a given that Tiger is evidently blessed with a ripped physique that lets him pull off literally any silhouette out there. From extra-long pants too to bizarre co-ords, he seems to have done it all. 
    While some people choose to make a statement with their airport OOTD, others try to keep things basic and comfy.  
    Tiger Shroff, however, chose the ninja aesthetic for his airport look. Here's what he was spotted wearing:

    Tiger wore an all-black outfit, including a translucent full-sleeved black vest, paired with black jeans. 

    He completed the look with a pair of futuristic shades and a pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers. These are priced at 95 Dollars which comes down to Rs 7,000 approximately. 
    Here's a closer look at the sneaker silhouette.

    The bright yellow shoes seemed a little worn out and dirty and we wonder if Tiger had done that purposefully to add to his unique aesthetic.
