Verdict

Redmi 9 Power has got a 48MP primary camera with enormous options which looks very promising at least on paper. Even Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, Stereo Speakers and 6.53″ FHD+ panel will take your entertainment to next level, this device also supports Widevine L1 which ensures HD streaming in OTT applications like Netflix, etc. Additionally, a 6000 mAh battery can easily cover more than a day with moderate usage and 18W fast & reverse charging support is like cherry on the top.

If I talk about cons, I personally felt Mi should have provided a 64 MP primary sensor and 16 MP front camera but it’s definitely not a deal-breaker. Lastly, Mi has bundled 22.5W fast-charger in the box and the Redmi 9 Power support only 18W fast-charging which is a bit odd. These small improvements could easily make this phone best in class, simply unbeatable.

If you are looking for the best smartphone phone for entertaining purpose, undoubtedly go for Redmi 9 Power for a 48MP camera, 6.53″ FHD+ display with Widevine L1 support, 6000 mAh battery with 18W fast-charging, Stereo Speakers, and Dual-Band Wi-Fi otherwise, simply pick Realme 7i (4GB+128GB) at Rs. 12999 for better value for money proportion, 90Hz LCD display, and 64 MP Camera but it lacks stereo speakers and 6000 mAh battery.

Frankly speaking, Redmi 9 Power 4GB+128GB variant is more value for money than its 4GB+64GB variant.

P.S. Redmi 9 Power will be available from December 22, 2020, at Amazon for 4GB+64GB at Rs. 10999/-, 4GB+128GB at Rs. 11999/-.

Production: Clapstem Entertainment, Rahul Mittra Films
Genre: Action Thriller
Maturity Level: 16+
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 11 December 2020

Our Opinion

Unlike any other movie or web series in terrorism, Torbaaz is really different in showcasing the fight against Taliban terrorism. The way the whole movie runs is literally demanded big applause, especially how the character of Naseer, Qazar, and Bazz was portrayed even the respective actor performed outstandingly.

Although, direction wise at certain points I felt the movie to be lengthy and rough, at times it was full of emotions too, quite a mix of roughness, rude, pain, and a heartful of love.

Overall, in our Torbaaz review, we would like to rate this series 3.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action thriller you must consider watching the series. Otherwise, give it a shot and I am sure I will definitely fall in love with the character “Baaz”. As I already mentioned, the story is based on terrorism in Afghanistan but to my surprise, the ending is very touching and emotional.

Mismatched Web Series Credits

Director: Akarsh Khurana, Nipun Dharmadhikari
Casting: Prajakta Koli (Mostlysane), Rohit Saraf, Rannvijay Singha, Vidya Malavade
Production: RSVP Movies
Genre: Romantic Drama
Maturity Level: 18+
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 20 November 2020

Our Opinion

Mismatched web series tried to point many social issues like marriage is main focus of girl’s life, trust issues with friends & partners, handling bullies in college or society. But to be honest addressing these all made this series a little complicated at times.

I somewhat felt direction wise this series is quite off. Sometimes plots taking unrelatable twists, even at certain points there are unnecessary abusing, debating over silly topics which did not make any sense. A lot of things shown wrong like the entire course and app building process even the way youth was living their life.

Prajakta Koli (Mostlysane) was average barring the fact she is a YouTuber and pretty new to the film industry. Rohit Sharaf, Rannvijay Singha, Vidya Malavade was good but the story and direction made everything less impactful.

Overall, in our Mismatched Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 2.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching romantic dramas or fan of Mostlysane you may consider watching the series. Otherwise, skip this one.

Verdict

If you are looking for a clean and trendy designed smartphone for daily usage that too on a very tight budget Moto G9 Power can be the perfect choice for you. Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 4 GB RAM can easily accomplish tasks in a flash. This smartphone sports a 64 MP primary camera and a 16 MP front which will definitely ensure better photography all the time. Lastly, this phone has got a massive 6000 mAh battery with 20W Turbo-charging support.

Also, being a stock android phone, you will not get any bloatware (except preinstalled moto apps) and Ads.

Note: Stock android does not come with call recorder so install any third party app if needed.

But if you are planning to play resource-hungry games like PUBG Mobile, Asphalt, Call of Duty then it might feel laggy and to be honest, you should go for at least Mediatek G90T or Snapdragon 720G based smartphones.

Finally, I would say this time Motorola outdid its own moto g9. If you are looking for an all-rounder phone on a very tight budget, I can easily recommend the Moto g9 Power.

Verdict

To be very honest, this smartphone, moto g 5G surpassed my expectation in terms of specifications, especially Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G (5G) with Adreno 619 is undoubtedly a better performer than SD 765G and HDR10 certified LTPS FHD+ display will definitely enhance your viewing experience.

With a 48 MP f/1.7 primary camera, this phone supposed be capture sharp, detailed, and vivid images.

Obviously, moto g 5G also has a few cons. Firstly, Motorola should have provided an AMOLED panel, although the existing LTPS HDR10 certified is brilliant. Lastly, the single speaker is loud enough but the brand could have provided stereo dual-speaker support.

If you are a tech-savvy person, want to be up-to-date, or someone who generally uses a smartphone for 3-4 years, this moto g 5G could be an absolute choice for you.

Production: Friday Storytellers
Genre: Action Espionage Thriller
Maturity Level: 15+
Availability: Hotstar VIP (OTT Platform)
Released on: 17 March 2020

Our Opinion

Special OPS is a fictional web series inspired by real-life incidents especially terror attacks happen in the last two decades. The entire story is very crisp, meaningful, and enjoyable. I liked the way how the mastermind was managed to spread terror but staying in the shadows like a ghost so that people not even doubt his existence. The direction and screenplay were neat and clean, not even a single second felt extra or boring.

Kay Kay Menon, Divya Dutta, Gautami Kapoor, Karan Tacker, and Vinay Pathak performed extremely great so as the entire casting. Kay Kay Menon absolutely nailed it, probably one of the best spy character acting I have ever seen. Special OPS turns out to be a perfect outcome from all perfect ingredients.

Out of all popular Espionage web series in different OTT apps, Special OPS and The Family Man (review) really took the lead for their practical and enjoyable content.

Overall, in our Special OPS Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 4.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense then I recommend you watch the series. Otherwise, you may miss one of the best series ever.

Our Opinion

Delhi Crime is based on a very pathetic true story collected from Delhi Police itself hence I do not have any right to comment on the story. But the way the whole incident was portrayed in the series, definitely deserves strong appreciations.

Director Richie Mehta made this series compact, meaningful, narrative, and full of emotions even the timeline sequences are commendable too. The entire casting was excellent in a word, specially Shefali Shah, her expression and on point acting skills contributed a lot to the overall success.

Not only me but almost everyone praised Delhi Crime as one of the best web series ever. Even this series bags four renowned awards too, one International Emmy Awards for best crime drama series and three iReel Awards for Best Crime Drama Series, Best Actress (Drama) & Best Writing (Drama).

Overall, in our Delhi Crime Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 5 stars out of 5. I will not speak more about it but request to watch the series once, I am sure that we will feel what I am feeling now. This web series is an anthology, so we can easily predict many more fact-based seasons are on the way.

Director: Ribhu Dasgupta
Casting: Emraan Hashmi, Vineet Kumar Singh, Sobhita Dhulipala, Kirti Kulhari, Abhishekh Khan
Production: Red Chillies Entertainment
Genre: Action Espionage Thriller
Maturity Level: 16+
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 27 September 2019

Our Opinion

Bard of Blood is a pretty straightforward web series. The script and directions just felt adequate, not super-impressive. I personally did not like storytelling mainly the covertness of a spy was missing. The seven episodes of this series were tidy but with a lot of exaggerated emotions, especially with Kabir Anand’s character. In the first episode, Kabir Anand was showcased as one of the best agents of the agency, his work was being used for influencing trainees but later when we saw him in action, he does not felt that good.

The entire cast did decent enough to make it consumable. Emraan Hashi and Kirt Kulhari managed to outperform others though. To my surprise, the entire series does not have a single comedy scene and lacks maturity too which makes this series a little boring.

Comparing Bard of Blood with a similar genre web series, The Family Man, later one felt way more enjoyable and engaging due to neat script, maturity, and on-point use of emotions.

It is not like Bard of Blood is trash, don’t get me wrong, rather there are many serious viewers who just love actions, thrill or espionage things, they will love it. Truly speaking, I would have rated it 4 out 5, if I missed “The Family Man” (review here).

Overall, in our Bard of Blood Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 3 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense then this series is for you. Otherwise, you may consider to binge-watch it. By the ending, we can predict that season 2 is on the way. Let us just hope this time they make it more enjoyable.

Facebook has officially announced the WhatsApp Disappearing Messages feature in the first week of November 2020 and also promised to roll out on a large scale within the month itself.

Finally, the feature is rolling out in India now. You just need to update the app and voila, it’s live.

The idea behind the feature is to upscale privacy a bit but there are ways to make it ineffective, we will discuss that in later sections.

How to Enable/Disable WhatsApp Disappearing Messages on Android, IOS, Desktop, and Web

As of now, you do not have options to enable/disable the feature on multiple contacts at once or set a custom expiry time which makes the current process pretty straightforward.

1. Open WhatsApp chat
2. Tap on Contact Name
3. Scroll until you find “Disappearing Messages”
4. Tap/Click to toggle Enable/Disable
5. Now whatever you send messages, media attachments, etc. will be deleted after 7 days.

Note: Disappearing Messages will only work for future chats until disabled. Previous chats will not be affected. Only group admins can enable/disable the feature in a WhatsApp group.

How to Enable/Disable WhatsApp Disappearing Messages on KaiOS

1. Open WhatsApp chat.
2. Go to Options and then View Contact
3. Select Disappearing Message then Edit
4. Switch between on/off and confirm.

Current Limitation in Disappearing Messages

Although WhatsApp Disappearing messages feature is perfect for its initial seven days only expiry functionality and case to case basis enable/disable options, still it lags more fine-grained expiry control, minimum should be an hour at least.

As this feature is newly launched, customization is kept limited on purpose, so that Facebook can understand the user’s needs and work on that accordingly. Currently below are few limitations as we observed

1. Disappearing Messages need to be enabled manually for contacts you need and it stays enable until you manually disable it. Rather Facebook could have introduced it as a chat attachment option like location sharing or incognito session maybe for more convenience.
2. We can not enable/disable the feature in multiple contacts at once.
3. Taking screenshots, forwarding chats, copying texts into other applications or even Auto-download media will dismiss the Disappearing Message functionality.
4. While the feature is enabled, if a user does not open WhatsApp in 7 days, the message will disappear although it can be partially/fully read from the notifications barring hide sensitive content is on in privacy settings.
5. As of now, we do not have expiry control and by default, it is 7 days. Some users may find it long enough to not use the feature at all. Although, Facebook has confirmed that a week timeframe is just a starting point to keep the conversation more practical until it becomes more customizable.
6. In case any user is restoring a backup including the disappearing messages, it will disappear after restoration if it reached 7 days threshold.

The Family Man web series is based on a common middle-class man, Shrikant (Manoj Bajpayee) who loves his country and works at TASC (Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell) as well as struggles to maintain his personal life. A few consecutive incidents started indicating something big is going to happen, mission Zulfiqar which seems to be more terrific and bigger than the 26/11 or the Bhopal Gas accident.

Watch out the trailer now!

The Family Man Web Series Credits

Director: Raj & D.K.

Production: D2R Films
Genre: Action Thriller
Maturity Level: 18+ (Adults)
Availability: Prime Video (OTT Platform)
Released on: 20 September 2019

Our Opinion

The story is inspired by newspaper articles (as claimed) and showcased a few terrorism events between India and Pakistan. From saving the country to maintain regular family life, the entire series portrayed the versatility of a spy, Shrikant, who never fails to go yellow whenever the situation demanded.

If you ever wonder why The Family Man series was so hyped or probably finding this name in each and every web series recommendations? You are right, this is one of the gems in the digital content world. Almost all possible ingredients like scripts, directions, music, outdoor shootings, etc. were exceptional to make this series one of the most enjoyable content on the web. Especially Manoj Bajpayee again proved himself to be a legend whereas other artists delivered a commendable performance too.

All 10 episodes are quite neat and well proportionate still you may feel, this series can be completed in 8 to 9 episodes. But according to me, a few more detail did help this series a lot in its overall success.

Overall, in our The Family Man Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 4.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense, and drama on the screen then this series is a perfect match for you. Otherwise, take my word and watch it, you will definitely thank me later.

P.S. The Family Man Web Series has abusive languages, and violence, so be aware of that.
