Tiger Zinda Hai: Why you Should not miss this thriller

Image
Tiger Zinda Hai, a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger, stays true to its origins, going by the trailer. It has all the Salman Khan elements – well-choreographed action sequence, one-liners and close-up shots of the hero in slow motion. Said to be inspired by true events, Ali Abbas Zafar’s directorial is set in Iraq, where a group of 25 Indian nurses are captured by a terrorist outfit and the Indian government decides to send their Research and Analysis Wing agent Tiger to save the hostages. Here are the reason why you should not miss this flick.. 1) Katrina Kaif plays a Pakistani spy Yes, that’s right! She plays a Pakistani and that too, a badass one. There’s no stereotyping, no preconceived notions as to how Muslim/Pakistani girls are supposed to behave like and lucky for us, Katrina is believable in the character. She’s looking like a regular girl, in a sleeveless black shirt and pants, possessed with a slight accent making its way in her Urdu – which is acceptable a

Image
After the launch of its flagship Mi Mix series and the Android One-powered Redmi A series in India, Xiaomi has launched yet another new product line in the country. Dubbed Redmi Y, this will be a lineup of selfie-focused smartphones. The first model in the series is the Xiaomi Redmi Y1, and we got to spend some time with the device for a while prior to its official unveiling. Here are our first impressions. The Xiaomi Redmi Y1 has the same design elements as other devices in the Redmi series. At the front is a 5.5-inch HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and non-backlit capacitive touch buttons for Android navigation.The highlight of the Redmi Y1 is its 16-megapixel selfie shooter which gets a diffused selfie flash. At the back, there's a 13-megapixel camera with a single-LED flash, and a fingerprint scanner positioned in the centre. The fingerprint scanner is easy to reach, and it unlocked the phone every single time without any hiccups. Unlike the curren

Call of Duty: WW2 Review

Image
While my personal custom is to skip a Call of Duty campaign and jump straight into the multiplayer, this year I was happy to start Call of Duty: WW2 with this very personal-feeling war story. The campaign, which follows Private “Red” Daniels through pivotal moments like D-Day (of course) and the liberation of Paris, is a great primer that shows how well Call of Duty’s combat adjusts back into a historical setting for the first time since 2008’s World at War, and, more importantly, tells a good story with some fun action movie-style spectacle. Over the short (or average, for this series) five- to six-hour campaign, I slowly but surely found empathy for Daniels and his squad. The story is built mostly through excellently animated cutscenes or in narration after missions – the standard Call of Duty fare. I appreciate that while Daniels and his squad fought the obvious Nazi enemy, the tension between characters also developed as they found themselves deeper and deepe

10 Best Video Game Characters of all Time

Image
Pull together a list of the most iconic video game characters of all time and chances are there would be very few surprises. Classics like Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Link, Solid Snake, Donkey Kong and Samus will always be phenomenally important to the fabric of video games, but all of them first appeared on the scene during a completely different era. They're unquestionably iconic, and the only argument is over what order they'd fall into the top 10. They each may have appeared in modern games (with varying degrees of success,) but they're ultimately children of the Eighties and Nineties. If you take that group off the table completely, and focus on the significant characters that made their first appearances this century, you get a very different picture of how video games now present their leading figures. Seen all together like this, they're a potent reminder that the tone of games, for the most part, has changed dramatically post-PlayStation 2 and Xbox. 1.

20 Scary Halloween Facts

Image
Halloween The tradition of Halloween comes from Samhain, an ancient pagan festival celebrated by Celtic people. It took place in the United Kingdom, Ireland and northwestern France. An intense and persistent fear of Halloween is called Samhainophobia. Because th.e movie Halloween(1978) was on such a tight budget, they had to use the cheapest mask they could find for the character Michael Meyers, which turned out to be a William Shatner Star Trek mask. Shatner initially didn’t know the mask was in his likeness, but when he found out years later, he said he was honored. The first Jack O’Lanterns were actually made from turnips. Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas. The word “witch” comes from the Old English wicce, meaning “wise woman.” In fact, wiccan were highly respected people at one time. According to popular belief, witches held one of their two main meetings, or sabbats, on Halloween night. Samhainophobia is the

10 Hardest Video Games of all Time

Image
Dark Souls Games used to be harder and they still are. That’s the lament veteran players now mutter whenever encountering some modern shoot-’em-up or action adventure. It sounds like the same sort of nostalgic elitism that music snobs indulge in, criticising current bands for lacking the legendary quality of yesterday’s heroes. But with games, it’s kind of true. As the industry has grown, the big titles have moved towards toning down the difficulty, in order to give a smooth experience to as wide a range of players as possible. Nowadays, if you want to face a real challenge, you have to select “hard” mode, which usually just means more enemies and less ammo. But difficulty is at its best when it’s an intrinsic part of the design: players have to think about the game in another way – and earn their progress. That is certainly true for the titles in this list. They’re not all classics, but even the plainly unfair ones have unforgettable qualities that made us persevere

Patna Pirates When Gujarat Fortunegiants’ Parvesh Bhainswal rammed into Pardeep Narwal in the third minute, only for his team to quickly round up on the Patna Pirates raider and send him off the mat, it looked like the final of the Pro Kabaddi League was going to follow a familiar script. Narwal, the best raider in the competition by far, had routinely run into trouble against Gujarat’s defence in the past two matches they played, scoring only five and four respectively while his league average was more than 14 raid points per match.Their defence was week tonight Gujarat had started the match brightly, effecting the first all-out and opening up a 14-6 lead. But it wasn’t meant to be their day. It was Narwal who once again reigned supreme, scoring 19 points to lead his team to a hat-trick of titles. On the night, Gujarat had only five tackle points, only one from their famed corner pair of Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani. It wasn’t the perfect ending but the Fortun
