Why Indian consumers may find the iPhone Air to be a confusing option

Although the ultra-thin iPhone Air at Tuesday's Apple presentation attracted a lot of attention, it's possible that this marks the beginning of something new for both Apple and the smartphone market. The iPhone Plus models, which have been popular for years, will be replaced by this new iPhone for Apple. However, in contrast to those larger iPhones, this one also provides access to Apple's Pro processor line.The device places Apple in an odd position, particularly in price-conscious areas like India, even if the company believes it would satisfy consumers who demand a small and light iPhone with Pro features. Customers will inquire as to whether this is a more affordable iPhone Pro or a larger iPhone. Although it costs more than a standard iPhone, this model only has one camera in comparison to basic iPhones. Then, this will serve people who want a gadget that is slimmer and more powerful but aren't particularly concerned about its camera capabilities.The slim, light, and nearly weightless iPhone Air, weighing only 165 grams, lives true to its name. At only 5.64 mm thick, it's one of the thinnest iPhones ever, and its titanium construction makes it strong without adding weight. It's the type of phone that practically blends into your pocket or purse.  

Abhishek Bachchan petitions the Delhi High Court to defend his personality rights.

Mumbai: Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan has filed a case in the Delhi High Court to have his personality rights protected, claiming that rogue websites were violating his name and image.Later in the day, Justice Tejas Karia will hear this request, which follows his wife and actress Aishwarya Rai's court appearance in a related case. Bachchan has appealed against Bollywood Tee Shop, a website that sells t-shirts featuring Bollywood stars.The website and other infringers were the targets of the petition, which claimed that the unauthorized use of his persona was a part of a larger trend of online fraud that takes advantage of celebrities' identities.According to Bachchan's plea, the website and other violators should be blocked, infringement-related URLs should be taken down, and Google and YouTube should be ordered to remove illegal content. Additionally, he asked that the order be extended to "John Doe" defendants, who are unnamed parties who might host similar infringing material in the future. One kind of court order against anonymous or unknown people is called "John Doe." In intellectual property and personality rights situations, it permits a celebrity, brand, or copyright owners to block not just the known infringers but also future or unnamed offenders who may misuse their name, image, or material.Bachchan's official lawyer, Dhruv Anand, asserted that the site was selling items, giving the false impression that he was endorsing it.

The Conjuring: Last Rites debuted in theaters on September 5, 2025, and horror enthusiasts from all over India went to the theaters this past weekend.

This outstanding start makes it Warner Bros.' best-ever opening in India and the largest opening for a Hollywood horror film in the nation. It also recorded Hollywood's largest opening weekend of 2025.Over the years, the Conjuring movies have gained a sizable fan base in India thanks to their reputation for fusing jump scares with spooky, real-life-inspired narratives. With a stronger sense of closure, Last Rites carries on that custom. Franchise mainstays Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return to their roles as renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the movie, taking on one of their most challenging and sinister cases to date.The picture is produced by seasoned franchise designers James Wan and Peter Safran and directed by Michael Chaves, who has previously directed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Curse of La Llorona. With a total global box office total of over $2 billion, the Conjuring Universe solidifies its status as one of the most lucrative horror franchises in contemporary filmmaking with Last Rites.However, the thrill—the screams, the chills, and that distinctive Conjuring atmosphere that keeps viewers coming back for more—is more important to audiences than the figures.

An examination of some significant fashion moments that shaped Giorgio Armani's legacy, from Richard Gere to Alia Bhatt

Giorgio Armani, a wealthy brand owner and renowned Italian fashion designer, passed away at the age of 91. He was the epitome of Italian grace and style, reinventing suits for both men and women for a contemporary market. Originally a fashion brand, Armani has since branched out into luxury hotels, music, cosmetics, scent, and sports. As the world laments the death of a trailblazing designer, we examine some of his most memorable fashion moments that still influence how we view luxury and style today.Richard Gere's appearance in the 1980 movie American Gigolo was the fashion event that really catapulted Armani into international fame. Julian, played by Gere, wore Armani's ground-breaking soft-shouldered suits, which contrasted with the period's stiff, structured menswear. A new manly image that was both sensual and powerful was established by the loose silhouettes and flowing, unlined jackets. Armani became linked with elegant masculinity as a result of this societal transition.In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Armani's partnership with actress Michelle Pfeiffer revolutionized power dressing. Her appearances in Armani's flowing, architectural designs demonstrated the harmony between strength and softness. Pfeiffer's appearances on the red carpet wearing Armani's distinctive draped silhouettes and muted color schemes served as the model for contemporary celebrity fashion.Alia Bhatt's attendance at Cannes 2025 was a turning point for Armani's worldwide impact as well as Bollywood fashion. At Cannes 2025, Alia Bhatt debuted her second look, looking lovely in a blue Armani Privé gown embellished with jewels. At the red carpet, the actor's sparkling headgear stole the show as she changed into what many called a bejeweled goddess.Leonardo DiCaprio and Armani have a long history together, and their connection has resulted in many unforgettable red carpet events. His attendance at important award shows wearing Armani's flawlessly fitted tuxedos has continuously shown the designer's ability to produce clothing that is both classic and up to date.  

When Dharmendra insisted on playing Gabbar or Thakur, Sholay director Ramesh Sippy responded, "Hema Malini nahi milegi."

Ramesh Sippy is working on a documentary about his landmark film Sholay (1975), which was released fifty years ago. Following his insistence that he had discussed the film enough over the previous fifty years, he consented to an exclusive interview with SCREEN regarding the casting choice, the film's enduring legacy, contentious ending, impending restoration, and his directing ambitions. The film starred Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Hema Malini, and Sanjeev Kumar.Seeta Aur Geeta was delivered in accordance with the requirements. It provided the returns in line with that. For me, the experience was just as amazing as Sholay's. When I'm making a film, I give it my all. Sholay, of course, had a larger canvas. Given that it was an action movie with an outdoor setting, it was a massive 70 mm experience. Why would Salim-Javed be unable to deliver in Sholay if they could in Seeta Aur Geeta? Characters, settings, and circumstances are all part of writing. Who could have done a better job creating Gabbar?As the Angry Young Man, Salim-Javed's name is synonymous with Amitabh Bachchan. A few years before to Sholay, Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer (1973), their debut collaboration, had been released. Sholay came out the same year as Yash Chopra's Deewaar (1975). Did Bachchan not play the Angry Young Man in your movie worry you?He kept to himself. He differed from the flamboyant Dharmendra ji in that regard. Bachchan was more reserved, but his facial expressions spoke it all. With the exception of the song "Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin," he didn't have to be as loud. Otherwise, only Jaya Bachchan and Amit ji could portray that kind of relationship with the lamp's lighting. While feeling the emotions they did, they kept their distance because it was the appropriate thing to do. This was silent love and admiration. They did a wonderful job of communicating what I desired.  

"We Have Parted In Good Spirits" is Boney Kapoor's confirmation of Diljit Dosanjh's No Entry 2 Entrance.

According to reports, Diljit's hectic schedule interfered with the film's production, especially his Aura Tour, which took place in Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13. The actor-singer is juggling back-to-back projects with his international tours, making him one of the busiest stars in both music and film right now.The new cast of Boney's No Entry 2, which included Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh, was supposed to begin filming in October 2025. But Diljit is no longer involved in the project. Boney disclosed, "Yes, we did part ways amicably because the dates did not work out for us. I hope we can work together on a Punjabi movie soon.Diljit seems to be concentrating on his music career right now. The singer-actor just revealed that he will be going to Australia and New Zealand for his 2025 Aura Tour. The tour will start in Sydney on October 26 and stop in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth before ending in Auckland on November 13.Boney also acknowledged at a recent event that he still finds it frustrating that he was unable to reunite the original group of Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan. "Yeh humara loss hai that we couldn't keep the same star cast," he said. We waited for perhaps eight or ten years, but for some reason nothing came of it. They will be missed. We are currently working with a younger group of actors in an effort to give them a new beginning. As much as we shall miss Salman, we will also miss Fardeen and Anil. They were the three boys who started No Entry. They were also the most adored.One of the biggest blockbusters of the year was the 2005 Bollywood comedy-drama, which was produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Anees Bazmee. Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Esha Deol, and Celina Jaitly were among the cast members. The film is still regarded as a classic because of its clever writing and the group's flawless comic timing. More information is still pending, however the sequel is presently under development with a new cast that includes Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor.

Following Bade Miyan Chote Miyan's failure, Tiger Shroff talks about going through a sad period and believes Baaghi 4 will reveal a "different me": "It is difficult to reinvent myself."

The darkest movie in the Baaghi series, Baaghi 4, is coming out soon, and actor Tiger Shroff is getting ready for it. However, following a run of successive box office disappointments, including Ganpath, Heropanti 2, and Bade Mitan Chote Miyan, he had a decline in his career in recent years. Tiger discussed the impending film, his new persona, enduring the dark chapter in his career, and much more in a recent interview."I'm feeling restless, happy, excited, blessed, and grateful that the audiences are going to see a very different side of me in my next release Baaghi 4," he stated in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, sharing his thoughts and feelings about the occasion. I am eagerly awaiting their response. Although it has been quite the learning curve, the past three years have undoubtedly not been simple. I believe that as a result, I've improved as an artist. The actor went on to say that he has incorporated the lessons he learned during his difficult time into his next film, Baaghi 4. "I hope the audience—and you, Sir—see Baaghi 4 because I've incorporated all those lessons into it. As previously said, it is impossible to accurately forecast a movie's outcome. However, we have truly put our all into this one. God has blessed the Baaghi franchise, and for that I am incredibly thankful. For me, the fact that it has reached its fourth installment is a huge deal, and I am incredibly grateful to Sajid Nadiadwala Sir for providing me with this franchise and platform.His parents, Jackie and Ayesha Shroff, have always been his rock during both his prosperous and challenging times. "My soulmates are my parents." I feel incredibly fortunate and thankful," he said.He said, "Honestly, I thought it had everything going for it," in response to a question about what might have gone wrong with his most recent movie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar. Regretfully, audiences didn't find it particularly compelling. However, I had a great time filming the movie, and I will always be appreciative of the producers, Vashu Bhagnani ji and Jackky Bhagnani ji. Tiger went on, "Of course, my co-actor and childhood hero, Akshay Kumar Sir, and our director, Ali Abbas Zafar Sir, who is one of my favorite directors." We had a great time making the movie, and if I had to do it over, I wouldn't alter a thing.

In keeping with this idea, Zed TV presents Kahaani Har Ghar Ki, a revolutionary new reality format. The show, which is hosted by the well-liked Juhi Parmar, gives Indian women a polite and safe forum to tell their stories. Kahaani Har Ghar Ki, which is produced by Zee Studios, will debut on September 1st and air on Zee TV every day at 6:30 p.m.With her sympathetic performances and powerful depictions, Juhi Parmar has gained the respect and trust of audiences throughout the years. She reappears in this new guise not just as a well-known actor but also as "Aapki Juhi," a sympathetic mentor, listener, and guide who establishes a secure environment where women feel encouraged, heard, and understood. Every episode of Kahaani Har Ghar Ki will vividly depict the intensely personal journey of a real-life lady, bringing to light topics like relationship difficulties, familial pressure, emotional neglect, and professional sacrifices. By use of open discussions and professional advice from psychologists and special guests, the program seeks to dispel preconceptions, promote empathy, and encourage viewers to consider the hidden truths in their own families.The press conference was intended to be an immersive experience in order to reflect the delicate nature of the event. Media representatives listened to an audio version of a story from the show while wearing headphones. The story, which had no images and was only told, followed both sides of a real-life dispute and ended in a tense, unresolved moment. As interest reached its pinnacle, Juhi Parmar joined the platform to discuss the importance of these underrepresented female voices being heard and recognized in the modern era.
