iPhone 17e vs Pixel 10a: Which One Should You Buy?
On March 2, Apple unveiled its new affordable flagship, the iPhone 17e, bringing noticeable improvements in performance, charging capabilities, and durability. The launch comes just days after Google introduced the Pixel 10a, placing both devices in direct competition for budget-conscious premium buyers.
In terms of pricing, the Pixel 10a holds a clear advantage. It starts at ₹49,999 for the 256GB variant, making it significantly more affordable. The iPhone 17e, on the other hand, begins at ₹64,900 for the same 256GB storage option. However, Apple also offers a 512GB variant, giving users the flexibility to opt for higher storage if needed.
Performance is another key differentiator. The iPhone 17e runs on Apple’s latest A19 chip built on a 3nm process, the same processor powering the flagship iPhone 17 lineup. This gives it an edge in raw speed, efficiency, and long-term software support. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10a is powered by Google’s Tensor G4 chip, which, although optimized for AI-driven features and smart software enhancements, is based on an older generation platform. As a result, the iPhone 17e is likely to deliver stronger overall performance.
When it comes to display, Apple offers a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel with a resolution of 2532 × 1170 pixels, but it retains a 60Hz refresh rate. The Pixel 10a features a slightly larger 6.3-inch Actua display with a 1080 × 2424 resolution and a smoother 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and gaming feel more fluid. While Apple provides slightly higher resolution, Google delivers a noticeably smoother experience.
Camera capabilities also differ. The iPhone 17e features a single 48MP Fusion camera sensor with up to 2x optical-level zoom. In contrast, the Pixel 10a comes with a dual-camera setup consisting of a 48MP main lens and a 13MP ultra-wide lens. The additional ultra-wide camera gives users more flexibility for landscape shots and group photos.
Charging and battery life further separate the two. Apple has finally introduced MagSafe support to its E-series lineup, along with 15W Qi2 wireless charging, though the battery capacity is expected to be around 4,000mAh. The Pixel 10a packs a larger 5,100mAh battery and supports faster 30W wired charging, which may appeal to users who prioritize longer battery life and quicker charging speeds.
Overall, the iPhone 17e stands out with its powerful processor, ecosystem integration, and new MagSafe support, while the Pixel 10a makes a strong case with its lower price, smoother display, larger battery, and versatile dual-camera system. The final choice ultimately depends on whether buyers prefer Apple’s performance-focused ecosystem or Google’s value-driven feature set.
Big Release Date Changes Shake Up Film Calendar
Several major films that were earlier announced with specific release dates have now been pushed to new slots, once again highlighting how dynamic and unpredictable film scheduling can be.
One of the key changes involves Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh. The film was initially set to release on March 19 but has now been postponed to April 10.
Similarly, Toxic, featuring Yash, was also targeting a March 19 release. However, the makers have now rescheduled it to June 4, giving the film a wider summer window.
Another major shift is for Peddi, starring Ram Charan. Originally planned for March 27, the film will now arrive in theatres on April 30.
Meanwhile, The Paradise, headlined by Nani, has also moved from its earlier March 26 date to August 21, creating a significant gap before its theatrical release.
As things stand, Dhurandhar 2 is currently the only major film targeting the late-March window. Starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel is expected to carry forward the momentum created by its successful predecessor.
With these reshuffles, the upcoming months promise an interesting box office battle as big-ticket films realign for better release opportunities.

చిరంజీవి 158: మళ్లీ ఊర మాస్కు బాబీ రెడీ?
మెగాస్టార్ Chiranjeevi ను ఓ మాస్ అభిమాని డైరెక్ట్ చేస్తే ఎలా ఉంటుందో ప్రేక్షకులు ఇప్పటికే చూశారు. దర్శకుడు Bobby Kolli (బాబీ) తెరకెక్కించిన Waltair Veerayya ఆ అనుభూతినే మళ్లీ గుర్తు చేసింది. ఆ సినిమా ఎంతటి ఘన విజయం సాధించిందో తెలిసిందే. మెగాస్టార్పై ఉన్న అభిమానాన్ని బాబీ తెరపై అద్భుతంగా ఆవిష్కరించాడు.
దాదాపు మూడు దశాబ్దాల తర్వాత చిరంజీవిలోని అసలైన ఊర మాస్ను ప్రేక్షకులు మళ్లీ చూశారు. 1993లో వచ్చిన Mutha Mestri తర్వాత ఆ స్థాయి మాస్ క్యారెక్టర్ను మెగాస్టార్ పెద్దగా ప్రయత్నించలేదు. ‘ముఠామేస్త్రి’కి దగ్గరగా ఉండే క్యారెక్టర్ టోన్ ‘వాల్తేరు వీరయ్య’లో కనిపించిందని అభిమానులు భావించారు. 1993 నుంచి 2023 మధ్య చిరంజీవి కొన్ని మాస్ పాత్రల్లో కనిపించినా, ‘వీరయ్య’ స్థాయి స్పందన మాత్రం రాలేదు.
ఈ విజయాన్ని దృష్టిలో పెట్టుకుని ఇదే కాంబినేషన్లో మెగాస్టార్ 158వ చిత్రం లాక్ కావడం విశేషం. ‘వాల్తేరు వీరయ్య’ సక్సెస్తో పాటు బాబీ గత చిత్రాల ట్రాక్ రికార్డ్ను పరిశీలించిన చిరంజీవి మరోసారి అతనికి అవకాశం ఇచ్చారు. బాబీ కెరీర్లో ఒకే ఒక్క ఫ్లాప్ తప్ప మిగతా సినిమాలు మంచి ఫలితాలే సాధించాయి.
మాస్ కంటెంట్ను పర్ఫెక్ట్గా హ్యాండిల్ చేయగల దర్శకుడిగా బాబీ పేరు తెచ్చుకున్నాడు. హీరోను ఎలివేట్ చేయడంలో, అలాగే బ్యాలెన్స్గా చూపించడంలో అతనికి ప్రత్యేక నైపుణ్యం ఉంది. అదే నమ్మకంతో మెగాస్టార్ మరో ఆలోచన లేకుండా ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్కు గ్రీన్ సిగ్నల్ ఇచ్చినట్లు తెలుస్తోంది.
ఇటీవల Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu సినిమాతో చిరంజీవి ఖాతాలో మరో విజయం చేరింది. ఈ చిత్రంలో క్లాస్తో పాటు మాస్ ఎలిమెంట్స్ను సమతుల్యంగా చూపించారు. ముఖ్యంగా మాస్ ఆడియన్స్కు ఈ సినిమా బాగా కనెక్ట్ అయింది.
ఈ నేపథ్యంలో మెగాస్టార్ 158వ చిత్రం ఏ జానర్లో ఉండబోతోందన్న ఆసక్తి అభిమానుల్లో పెరిగింది. మళ్లీ పూర్తి స్థాయి ఊర మాస్ ఎంటర్టైనర్తో వస్తారా? లేక క్లాస్-మాస్ మిక్స్తో కొత్త ప్రయోగం చేస్తారా? లేదా స్టైలిష్ యాక్షన్ డ్రామా తీస్తారా? అనే చర్చలు సాగుతున్నాయి.
సాధారణంగా ప్రతి దర్శకుడికి ఓ ప్రత్యేక ప్లేవర్ ఉంటుంది. ఆ శైలిని దాటి కొత్తగా ప్రయత్నించడం అంత సులభం కాదు. బాబీ తన మాస్ స్టైల్కు కట్టుబడి ఉంటాడా? లేక మెగాస్టార్ కోసం తన శైలిలో మార్పులు చేసి కొత్త కోణంలో ‘బాస్’ను చూపిస్తాడా? అన్నది చూడాలి.
Shalini Pandey Eyes Big-Screen Comeback Amid OTT Success
Shalini Pandey has been going through a challenging phase on the big screen across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema. Films like Nishabdham, Idli Kadai, and the recent Rahu Ketu failed to meet expectations at the box office, leaving her theatrical journey in a slow lane.
However, setbacks in theatres did not deter her momentum. Shalini has successfully carved a promising space for herself on OTT platforms. Last year, she earned appreciation for her performance in the Hindi female-centric action thriller web series Dabba Cartel, which gained notable popularity. Continuing that streak, her recent release Bandwaale also brought her praise, particularly for her portrayal of Mariam — a role that showcased a deeper emotional range and maturity in her performance.
Parallel to her OTT success, Shalini has been consistently active on social media, keeping her fan base engaged. In her latest photoshoot, she exudes confidence under soft indoor lighting near a window. In one look, she pairs a fitted skirt with a cropped top layered over a delicate lace bralette, creating a bold yet stylish vibe. The peek-a-boo fashion element feels contemporary and tasteful rather than overdone.
In another frame, she opts for an oversized white shirt, striking a relaxed pose that blends comfort with understated glamour. The natural light gently highlighting her features and the calm, minimal backdrop add a sophisticated touch to the overall styling.
While her OTT journey appears steady and promising, many fans are still hoping for a strong theatrical comeback. Tollywood audiences continue to remember her fondly as Dr. Preethi Shetty in Arjun Reddy — the breakthrough role that made her an overnight sensation.
Toxic Postponed, March Box Office Gets a Major Shake-Up
March was expected to be a high-voltage month for cinema lovers, with big-ticket releases like Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic lining up for a box-office clash. The presence of these heavyweights even forced several smaller films to reconsider and postpone their release plans.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Yash’s much-anticipated pan-India film Toxic, which was originally scheduled for March 19, 2026, has now been postponed to June 4. This strategic shift has effectively cleared the path for Dhurandhar 2 to enjoy a relatively uncluttered release window.
The first installment of Dhurandhar had arrived with modest buzz but gradually built strong momentum thanks to its mass appeal and positive word of mouth. Now, the sequel is carrying substantial hype even before release, with trade circles buzzing about its scale, action canvas, and impressive screen allocation.
The makers of Toxic reportedly opted for a delay to ensure a smooth pan-world rollout. Given the current uncertainties in parts of the Middle East — a crucial overseas market — the team decided it would be safer to push the release to June to protect potential revenue streams.
With Toxic moving out of March, Dhurandhar 2 gets a significant advantage across most territories. Although the film is said to be banned in certain Gulf regions, it is gearing up for a massive release in all other key markets.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh is preparing for a grand theatrical release on March 26. Earlier, producer Dil Raju had acquired the rights for Toxic with plans for a wide distribution. With Toxic postponed, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is now expected to benefit from increased screen availability, regardless of initial talk.
While the postponement of Toxic came as an unexpected development, it has undoubtedly reshaped the March box-office landscape — creating fresh opportunities for other major releases to capitalize on the open window.
Chiru & Balayya Bet on New-Age Directors for Big Reinvention
There was a time in Tollywood when young and inexperienced directors found it extremely difficult to land projects with top-tier stars. Heroes preferred filmmakers with solid box-office credentials, as commercial stakes were high and fan expectations even higher.
However, the tide has clearly turned. Today, even debut directors are being entrusted with big-budget ventures, and filmmakers who have earned critical acclaim are receiving strong backing from leading actors. The industry is witnessing a refreshing shift toward content-driven collaborations.
What makes this transition even more fascinating is the approach of senior stars like Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Instead of playing it safe, both actors appear keen to collaborate with young, dynamic directors to explore new genres and reinvent themselves creatively.
It is already public knowledge that Chiranjeevi is set to team up with Srikanth Odela, who made a strong impact with Dasara starring Nani. The mere announcement of this collaboration created considerable buzz, as Odela’s gritty storytelling and intense narrative style promise to present the Megastar in a refreshing new light.
Now, it appears to be Balakrishna’s turn to collaborate with a new-age filmmaker. Vivek Athreya, who earned praise for Ante Sundaraniki and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, is reportedly set to direct Balakrishna’s 112th film. The project is expected to be mounted on a grand scale with a strong ensemble cast.
Reports suggest that both Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna were impressed with the scripts narrated by these young filmmakers and quickly gave their nod. Despite their seniority in the industry, the two stars are said to be eager to step away from formula-driven templates and deliver fresh, compelling content to audiences.
Given that Srikanth Odela and Vivek Athreya have already demonstrated their ability to extract powerful performances from their actors, expectations are high that they will showcase these legendary stars in never-before-seen avatars — possibly blending vintage charisma with contemporary storytelling on the big screen.
Catherine Tresa: Ready for a 2026 Comeback?
Catherine Tresa, who was born and raised in Dubai, has been part of the Indian film industry for nearly 15 years. Over the course of her career, she featured in several notable films such as Iddarammayilatho, Rudhramadevi, and Sarrainodu.
She began her journey as a leading heroine and enjoyed considerable popularity during her peak phase. However, as the years passed, her roles gradually shifted — from primary lead to second heroine parts and eventually to supporting characters.
Recently, Catherine portrayed Jwaala in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, a role that once again brought her into the spotlight. Her screen presence was widely appreciated, with many viewers noting that she still possesses the charm and spark that once made her a sought-after heroine. Despite the film releasing two months ago, there has been no official confirmation about her signing any major new projects. Fans are now eagerly watching to see whether this performance will open doors to stronger opportunities.
Meanwhile, Catherine remains highly active on social media, where her presence is steadily growing. Her latest photoshoot has particularly caught attention. In the recent picture, she appears bold, confident, and completely at ease, posing gracefully on the floor in a stylish purple outfit that fits her perfectly and subtly shimmers under soft lighting.
Resting on one arm, she locks eyes with the camera, delivering a calm yet powerful expression. Her makeup is minimal and refined, enhancing her sharp features, while her hair, styled in a messy bun, adds an effortless elegance. The plain dark background ensures that the focus remains entirely on her pose and presence. The overall vibe strikes a balance between glamour and sophistication — understated yet undeniably captivating — and fans are clearly loving this striking side of her.
Even if film offers seem limited at the moment, her online popularity is on the rise. With 2026 approaching, all eyes are on Catherine Tresa to see how the next chapter of her career unfolds.
Rashmika Mandanna Flaunts Mangalsutra as Newlywed Glow Continues
Newlyweds Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna continue to capture public attention with their heartwarming post-wedding appearances.
After tying the knot last month, Rashmika was recently seen proudly flaunting her mangalsutra (thali) and sindoor while walking hand in hand with Vijay. The couple was spotted shortly after returning from a visit to Vijay’s native village in Telangana, radiating newlywed joy.
Since their wedding on February 26 in Udaipur, the duo has been making affectionate public appearances, delighting fans with their visible chemistry and warmth. Rashmika embraced classic bridal elegance in a beige printed saree accentuated with a bold red border. She styled her hair in long, soft curls and completed the look with layered gold chains along with her mangalsutra, striking the perfect balance between tradition and grace.
Vijay complemented her beautifully in a white floral-print kurta paired with white pyjama, keeping his look understated yet sophisticated.
Following their Udaipur wedding, the couple performed a traditional Satyanarayana Swamy Vratham and held a Gruhapravesam (housewarming ceremony) at their newly constructed home in Thummanpet. By observing customary rituals, they marked the beginning of their married life on a deeply traditional note.
Interestingly, until their wedding, the actors—who have shared screen space in films—maintained a relatively low profile regarding joint public appearances. However, since tying the knot, they appear nearly inseparable, openly embracing their new chapter together.
The celebrations are not over yet. The couple is scheduled to host a grand wedding reception in Hyderabad on March 4. However, due to security considerations, the event is expected to be a strictly private affair.
Why Is Nithiin Missing from the Spotlight?
Nithiin has been keeping an unusually low profile over the past few months. The actor, who was once a regular fixture at film events, celebrity gatherings, and industry celebrations, has been noticeably absent from the public eye.
His silence has sparked curiosity among fans and media circles alike, especially since he has stayed away not only from film promotions but also from high-profile personal events.
One instance that drew particular attention was the wedding of Allu Sirish. Interestingly, reports suggest that Sirish was introduced to Nayanika through Nithiin’s wife, who shares a close friendship with the bride. Despite this personal connection, Nithiin was not seen at the ceremony, further fueling speculation about his recent absence.
Adding to the intrigue, he was also missing from the widely discussed celebrations of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, events that saw the presence of several prominent industry figures.
Professionally, 2025 has been a challenging year for the actor, with back-to-back setbacks in Robinhood and Thammudu. Following these disappointments, Nithiin appears to have stepped away from the limelight, possibly reassessing his next move.
Whether this silence signals a strategic reset or a major comeback in the making remains to be seen — but for now, his absence continues to be a talking point in Tollywood circles.
Missile Scare Mid-Air: Emirates Flight Turns Back Before Safe Landing
Emma Graham, Bureau Chief of CNBC Middle East, was vacationing in Goa when escalating U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran spiraled into a broader regional conflict.
Her return to the United Arab Emirates initially seemed impossible after her scheduled flight was cancelled amid widespread airspace closures. With uncertainty growing, she traveled to Mumbai, planning to head onward to Singapore for work. However, in a surprising turn of events, she secured a seat on a limited Emirates repatriation flight bound for Dubai.
The airline had opened last-minute bookings for UAE nationals and residents stranded abroad. After consulting with her security team and weighing the potential risks, Graham chose to return home.
At the time, most commercial flights in and out of the UAE were suspended, stranding thousands of passengers worldwide and triggering significant global travel disruption. Emirates and Etihad were operating only restricted repatriation services to bring back residents and tourists.
Graham boarded a half-full Airbus A380 from Mumbai to Dubai. Among the passengers were Emirati nationals and expatriates who had struggled for days to find a way home, with some forced to consider expensive and exhausting land routes through neighboring countries.
As the aircraft approached Dubai, tension suddenly mounted. The captain announced that Iranian missiles targeting the UAE had led to a temporary airspace closure, forcing the plane to turn back.
Shock rippled through the cabin.
Minutes later, clearance to land was granted after air defense systems successfully intercepted the missiles. The sense of relief was immediate — applause broke out across the aircraft.
The plane finally touched down at an unusually quiet Dubai airport in the early hours of Tuesday morning. After hours of uncertainty and anxiety, Graham described feeling deeply grateful and relieved to be home safely.
Rai Rai Raa Raa Creates Record Storm for Peddi
Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s upcoming pan-India action spectacle Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, is already creating waves — and the film hasn’t even hit the screens yet. The music album, in particular, is turning into a sensational pre-release phenomenon.
After the first single Chikiri Chikiri became a massive chartbuster, the second track Rai Rai Raa Raa — which serves as the powerful introduction song for Ram Charan’s character — has taken the hype to an entirely new level. The response has been nothing short of explosive across languages.
Marking his grand comeback to Telugu cinema, AR Rahman has elevated Peddi into a musical powerhouse with what many are calling one of his finest recent works. The track becomes even more special as Rahman himself lends his voice to Rai Rai Raa Raa, adding unmatched intensity and texture.
The numbers speak for themselves. Within just 24 hours, Rai Rai Raa Raa stormed past 46.1 million views and garnered over 800K likes across five languages. In Telugu alone, the song clocked 29.21 million views, surpassing the previous record set by Chikiri Chikiri (29.1 million views), thereby creating a new benchmark.
On screen, Ram Charan strikes a perfect balance between aggression and elegance. Every frame radiates raw power, while the intricate and demanding footwork stands out as a major highlight. Yet, with his trademark swag, he makes even the most complex choreography look effortless.
Choreographer Jani Master once again proves his brilliance with electrifying dance movements, while director Buchi Babu Sana’s grand vision is evident in the scale and presentation of the song.
With such a thunderous response to its music, the buzz surrounding Peddi has skyrocketed. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 30, and expectations are soaring higher than ever.
Celebrity Weddings Redefine Luxury Celebrations
Allu Sirish’s wedding has redefined how grand Indian marriages can be celebrated, transforming what was once a single ceremonial day into a full-fledged, multi-event extravaganza.
The celebrations began with glamorous pre-wedding shoots and exclusive parties in Dubai, instantly setting a luxurious tone. What followed was not just a wedding, but a curated festival of events — a pre-wedding reception, a ladies-only soirée, a cinema-themed party, and yet another grand celebration hosted by his brother Allu Arjun. Each function carried its own identity, theme, and scale, stretching the festivities into an extended celebration rather than limiting it to a traditional format.
In a similar fashion, the widely discussed wedding of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika elevated opulence to another level. From presenting lavish jewellery gifts to the groom, distributing sweets at temples, performing Satyanarayana Vratham, organizing fan lunch meets, to making high-profile courtesy visits to the Prime Minister and Chief Minister — every ritual was amplified with public visibility and media attention. The celebrations seamlessly blended personal tradition with public spectacle.
Together, these high-profile weddings signal a clear shift in India’s luxury celebration culture. With a rapidly expanding ultra-wealthy segment eager to explore new avenues of grand spending, such weddings provide a ready-made blueprint. Multi-day festivities, themed events, destination celebrations, and large-scale public engagements are fast becoming aspirational standards.
As celebrity weddings continue to raise the bar, the affluent wedding market is poised for significant growth, with budgets expected to soar and celebrations becoming bigger, bolder, and more experiential than ever before.
