From financial constraints to AI brunch: Will Sora make Indian cinema more accessible?
There were conflicting responses when OpenAI presented its potent text-to-video model, Sora, to Hollywood studios. Others viewed it as a powerful disruptive force that could endanger creative jobs, while others regarded it as a revolutionary instrument.Will Indian filmmakers encounter a similar wave of ethical, legal, and creative issues that are already igniting discussions in the West, or should they adopt AI-powered video technologies to get beyond long-standing financial constraints? In India, filmmakers who frequently lack the financial resources of major production companies might benefit from tools like Sora.The promise is alluring on the one hand. AI tools like Sora could democratize access to high-end visual storytelling in a nation where independent filmmakers and regional creators frequently operate with limited resources. This would allow for realistic simulations of elaborate sets, action scenes, or fantastical worlds—all without the need for enormous budgets. They provide Indian film with a fresh avenue for creativity, pace, and genre exploration.However, the chance is accompanied by caution. Indian filmmakers must think about how AI will affect a sector that is based on human narrative, cultural diversity, and specificity, just as Hollywood struggles with issues of job displacement, copyright, and the erosion of creative authenticity. The path forward necessitates a careful balancing act that preserves the spirit and morals that characterize Indian cinema while embracing the efficiency and inventiveness AI can offer.

Women leaders on vulnerability, strength, and structural changes in "Authentic Ascent"
An interesting panel discussion on the topic of "The Authentic Ascent: Leading with Vulnerability and Strength" took place at the 6th edition of the Women Disruptors Summit & Awards 2025. Industry pioneers gathered to talk about systemic changes that enable women in leadership positions in addition to their own personal journeys.Pritha Mitra Dasgupta, Chief Marketing Officer of Havas India, presided over the meeting, and panelists included: Kinnari Dave, Shemaroo Entertainment's Business Head for ShemarooMe Prachi Bali, Head of Saatchi Propagate and EVP Shwetal Basu, Polycab India's Senior Vice President and Head of Brand & Marketing"We are no longer applauding leaders who never flinch," said Pritha Mitra Dasgupta, who opened the conversation by saying .that the days of leaders who stood like rock without flinching were long gone. In actuality, we are admiring those who possess the capacity for tenderness, resilience, empathy, and ambition.She continued by asking Kinneri Dave how both astute strategy and flexibility are necessary to successfully navigate a legacy business through the digital maelstrom. "Could you describe a situation where you were able to bring things back on track when they were veering off course because of your transparency rather than just your strategic abilities?""When you take over a brand, a legacy brand as large as Shemaroo, the burden of the brand and the legacy is huge, and you're always on edge, making sure you're not denting it," Kinnari Dave said, citing a server crash as an example that demonstrated the leadership transfers. I can clearly recall that five years ago, I oversaw product and technology for another company before taking the helm at Shemaroo.I remember clearly the day one of our servers broke and we lost a lot of data because it's a legacy brand and we had a major tech move. At that period, leading product technology for a heritage company felt extremely risky because of the media and people' doubts about a legacy brand going digital in comparison to Netflix. We told stakeholders, "Yeah, we've had a crash, lost data, and need time to figure this out," rather than jumping into solution mode, I said. However, we'll make sure that things return to normal. I then said to the crew, "All right, so this is where we are." Let's focus on finding a solution and separating the problem from the who.That made things more relatable and encouraged cooperation. Because we came together and worked as a single, cohesive team, I believe that's where we found the solution and recovered more quickly than anticipated.

"We've seen some amazing work being recognized—work that not only inspires us but also drives real change," stated Abhishek Karnani, President of the IAA India Chapter.

Doctors express an urgent warning that reels are now causing eye issues after "brain rot."
All age groups, but mainly children and young adults, are experiencing an increase in eye diseases as a result of excessive screen use, especially binge-watching reels on social media sites.Following worries about the effect of short-form films on mental health, medical professionals are now sounding the alarm about a brand-new, rapidly developing issue: "reel-induced eye damage."Across all age groups, excessive screen time—especially binge-watching reels on social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok—is contributing to an increase in eye diseases, particularly in children and young adults. Leading ophthalmologists discussed this at the Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology and All India Ophthalmological Society's ongoing Joint Meeting, which took place Tuesday at the Yashobhoomi-India International Convention and Expo Centre.Dr. Lalit Verma, president of the Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) 2025 Congress, spoke sternly about the "silent epidemic of digital eye strain" brought on by prolonged screen time. "We are seeing a sharp increase in cases of dry eye syndrome, myopia progression, eye strain, and even early-onset squinting, especially in children who spend hours watching reels," he stated. "We recently had a student who came in complaining of blurred vision and ongoing eye irritation. Upon inspection, we discovered that his eyes were not shedding enough tears as a result of spending too much time at home viewing reels on a screen. He was given eye drops right away, and the doctor told him to observe the 20-20-20 rule, which calls for looking at anything 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.The president of the All India Ophthalmological Society and chairman of the organizing committee, Dr. Harbansh Lal, described the gravity of the situation.

Baby creams are made for infant skin, which is thinner, more hydrated, and produces less oil, according to Dr. Ruby Sachdev, a consultant aesthetician at Gleneagles Hospital Bengaluru. Their requirements differ from those of adult skin. However, adult skin has sebum and sebaceous glands, is thicker, generates oil, and is subjected to harsher conditions including UV radiation, pollution, and stress. Therefore, a baby moisturizer might not be enough to adequately hydrate and protect adult skin.Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Niketa Sonavane, who founded Mumbai's Ambrosia Aesthetics, concurs. She notes that mature skin needs elements that truly hydrate, protect, and restore because it loses moisture more quickly. Baby creams, on the other hand, are too simple for this. Even while they might feel smooth and calming when applied, they lack the active components that mature skin needs, such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides (which preserve the skin barrier).

India's bold strategy aids in a quick T20 reconstruction
The world champions are creating an environment where players perform well without worrying about keeping their spots in the squad or taking wickets.Kolkata: Although it's early, the process and outcomes give hope that India would successfully defend the T20 World Cup at home the following year. Despite the pessimism caused by the Test and ODI transition issues, India's T20 trajectory stands out thanks to series victories against South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and now England. Even more so when one considers that Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have not been parachuted in.This is most likely a greater accomplishment. However, they have approached it virtually undetected. No culture of stars. Verify. No set order for batting. Verify.

Abhishek Sharma thinks a ball is there to be struck, hence he doesn't count returns. As long as Tilak Varma is at the crease, the second Twenty20 match in Chennai demonstrated that no equation is too difficult. And the fact that India lost to 12/3 and then 79/5 at Pune on Friday, yet still managed to score 181, demonstrated that the previous game's disaster chasing in Rajkot was really a fluke.

Rishabh Pant appointed as captain of Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025: 'His nicknames would be linked to Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni'
Rishabh Pant has become oficial captain of Lucknow Super Giants for the IPL 2025.Rishabh Pant, el jugador más caro en la historia de la auction de la Premier League de India, has sido designado como captain de Lucknow Super Giants para el IPL 2025. The proclama fue emitida on Monday. Pant estableció un récord durante el mega auction in November del año pasado, donde LSG co-fundador Sanjiv Goenka obtuvo sus servicios por un monto nunca antes visto de ₹27 crore.Considerando his prestigio e inversión, parecía ineludible que Pant asumiera la responsabilidad de liderar. A pesar de que Pant's IPL 2024 temporada con Delhi Capitals resultó ser decepcionante, clasificándose en la sexta posición, Lucknow Super Giants, que se ubicaron justo por debajo en la séptima, confían en el 27-year-old para guiarlos hacia una temporada de éxito. "Considero que Rishabh Pant va a terminar como uno de los mejores captains de IPL alguna vez." "After 10-12 años, he would be linked to MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma," declaró Goenka.Rishabh Pant busca un comienzo renovado. Pant asume el cargo de captain de KL Rahul, aportando un renovado sentido de energía y propósito a los Lucknow Super Giants. Determinado a realizar un vigoroso retorno, Pant tiene mucho por demostrar tras superar un periodo difícil. He no participó en muchas acciones, recuperando en 2023 de un accidente de coche que resultó mortal, y batallando en the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, consiguiendo menos de 200 runs en 10 innings con apenas un medio siglo. Naturalmente, Pant would aprovechar la serie de blancos frente a England y la Champions Trophy para recuperar su forma antes del inicio de la IPL.

Why Gujarat was the subject of the first special resolution at the AICC session before the 2027 elections
The resolution lays out a plan for the Congress's 30-year absence from power in Gujarat, including resurrecting the organization, promising a caste census, and taking Gandhi and Sardar Patel's lead.Two days after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session in Ahmedabad concluded with the passing of a Gujarat-specific special resolution outlining the party's agenda for the 2027 Assembly elections, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge sent a video message to Gujarati partymen saying, "Aap gharon se bahar nikaliye, badlav aapki pratiksha mein hai (Step out of your homes, change is waiting for you). "Kharge added that Ahmedabad's hosting of the first AICC session in the state since 1961 and an extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting at Sardar Patel Smarak in Shahibaug on the banks of the Sabarmati river on April 8–9 "proved" his party's "active and combative" organization in Gujarat, where it has been out of power for roughly 30 years.Despite being pumped up, Congress leaders expressed doubts about the cadres' ability to stay motivated until the elections, especially party veterans and young leaders.In a sudden move, the party leadership on Saturday designated one AICC observer and four Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) observers for each of the 41 DCCs. The DCCs will convene in Modasa, Aravalli district, on Monday to supervise the appointment of DCC presidents.

The closest thing I can come to owning a Leica is the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which I utilized as a camera.
Would you purchase a smartphone merely for its camera function? It's certain that many individuals do, particularly with regard to the flagship models from Samsung and Apple. Additionally, Xiaomi thinks it has a decent possibility of thriving in this market, just like a few other businesses. Despite being a flagship device in every way, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra may be attempting to pass itself off as a camera for artists with a lot of features. It's an intriguing idea, and I couldn't help but be tempted to look at this smartphone just to see how it looked from the camera.With its dual-tone silver and matte black rear finish and Leica branding, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is one of the most fashionable phones I've seen recently. In some respects, it looks like a vintage camera. The phone's camera is further highlighted by the oversized camera bezel and the rectangular main lens inside. There is a physical SIM tray at the bottom, and the power button and volume rocker are on the right side. Although it's one of the heavier phones I've used, it has a nice grip. Additionally, you can never lay the phone flat due to the large bulge of the camera module.In my opinion, this phone's true beauty lies in its included accessories, particularly the photography package, which comes with a gorgeous red metal back cover, an attachable camera grip with zoom and mode settings, and an extra battery.In addition to being more expensive, this unit offers a lot more, not to mention its ability to turn heads. I adored how the kit turned the phone into a real camera for all intents and purposes, allowing you to use the physical buttons on the phone to control every feature of the camera with one hand. Additionally, you may change a number of features of this attachment in the settings, such as how smoothly or jerkily the camera zooms. Even altering the rings surrounding the camera module will only have a cosmetic impact.

India levies a temporary anti-dumping tax on Chinese aluminum foil imports.
For aluminum foil imports from China, the Finance Ministry has increased the temporary anti-dumping tariff from $619 to $873 per metric tonne (MT). According to a March 17 gazette notice, the charge would be imposed on aluminum foil up to 80 micron, with non-capacitor applications exempting foil less than 5.5 μ.These changes occur against the backdrop of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States (US). In addition to this, last week the United States imposed a 25% duty on all imports of steel and aluminum. To shield the domestic industry from suspected dumping, India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has suggested levying a temporary anti-dumping tariff on Chinese imports of aluminum foil, with a range of $619 to $873 per tonne.After rising exports from the neighboring country took nearly a third of India's market share despite substantial local manufacturing capacity, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has suggested placing an anti-dumping charge on aluminum foil imported from China.

Review of the Vivo V50: Excellent portraiture, reliable battery
Typically, we don't think of mid-range smartphones with good cameras. In reality, when it comes to photography, even some expensive cellphones fall short. One of the few smartphone companies that has been questioning this idea is Vivo, which may have raised the bar for mid-range cameras with its most recent model, the Vivo V50.After testing the Vivo V50 for more than ten days, I've written a thorough evaluation of this camera champion.During a product briefing, the Starry Night version of the vivo V50 that I have been testing looked normal from a distance. However, I was able to fully appreciate its beauty when I had it in my hand. In India, this is the first smartphone with 3D-Star technology. This gives the device depth, giving it a dreamlike appearance that is different from anything I have seen on a smartphone's rear. The Vivo V50 has an underwater camera mode and is rated IP68/IP69. This is one of those phones that you may use while swimming in a pool or taking a shower.Another current smartphone trend that the V50 has adopted is the quad-curved display, which gives it an appearance that is nearly as high-end as the far more costly X100 Pro. Excellent visibility is guaranteed even in direct sunshine thanks to this 6.77-inch display's 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, which can reach up to 4,500 nits in HDR mode. The screen protector is pre-installed on the display, which has consistent bezels on all four sides.

With a $2 million campaign, Mars places a large wager on its "sleeper" brand Twix.
Twix is moving from division to abundance, according to Rankin Carroll, chief brand officer of the candy company. He also explains why the initiative was "course-corrected" after five months, leaving him "terrified but energized."Twix has been a mainstay of the Mars candy company since it was first released in the UK and the US in the late 1960s. The chocolate bar has continuously embraced its "duo" appeal with its unique twin-bar form, frequently asking customers to "pick a side."One of Twix's most well-known advertisements, created by the previous agency-of-record BBDO New York, narrated the tale of Seamus and Earl, the brothers and founders, who were never able to move past the incident in which they broke their prototype Twix bar in two. The notion that the two sides were always at odds, even though they were the same, was reaffirmed during the 2012 campaign. Since 2022, the Mars brand has collaborated with Adam&EveDDB, another Omnicom creative firm, on advertisements such as "Bear," which once more drew attention to the bars' similarity, and "Disguise," which last year brilliantly and playfully depicted Twix as a cookie masquerading as a candy bar.
