When the film leaked online in 4K mere hours after its theatrical premiere on February 14, 2025, the piracy controversy involving Vicky Kaushal stunned Bollywood. Three people were arrested on March 21, 2025 after Mumbai Police started an inquiry that turned up an insider breach from a pre-release screening. Chhaava lost ₹25 crore owing to piracy even if the box office receipts were at ₹500 crore. Vicky Kaushal encouraged supporters of lawful viewing to help authorities book fifteen more individuals. The case emphasizes how urgently the Indian film business needs tougher anti- piracy policies.

Air India Called Worst Airline Over Toilet and Service Problems
Among the worst-rated airlines worldwide, Air India is under increasing scrutiny for a string of operational and customer service lapses. Important events include catering mistakes on a flight headed from Hyderabad, a five-hour delay on a Chicago to Delhi route, and a bathroom breakdown on Flight AI126. Regulating authorities have also punished the airline for excessive rates of cancellements and delayed bags. Air India’s reputation is further erasing with an aged aircraft, crew shortages, and inadequate in-flight service. To rebuild consumer confidence and industry reputation, maintenance, personnel training, and passenger service have to be urgently improved.
iQOO Z10’s Camera Software Fails Its Good Hardware
Launched in late 2024, the iQOO Z10 has a good 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS but has extreme camera software problems. With about 300 complaints surfaced on X between January and March 2025, users have experienced fuzzy photographs, fluctuating focus, and poor low-light performance.

Yashwant Varma Might Become India’s First Impeached Judge
Following the claimed finding of ₹15 crore in undeclared cash at his house on March 14, 2025, Justice Yashwant Varma of the Delhi High Court faces possible impeachment. Articles 124(4) and 218 of the Indian Constitution specify impeachment under Articles 2-thirds majority in both Houses, a motion, and a judicial inquiry. While 62 Opposition MPs have sent an impeachment notice, the Supreme Court Collegium has started an internal inquiry. Precedent implies Varma would step down should he be found guilty within political wrangle and public pressure. Should he object, he might be the first judge in India to be effectively impeached.
Karnataka’s 4% Muslim Quota is Unconstitutional & a Communal Game by Congress
Critics of the measure passed by the Karnataka Assembly on March 21, 2025, allowing a 4% quota for Muslims in government contracts, find it sectarian and unconstitutional. Approved during BJP demonstrations and mass suspensions, the measure was first presented by Law Minister H.K. Patil. Critics contend it lacks constitutional purity, breaches Article 15(1) of the Indian Constitution, and reflects previous vote-bank politics of Congress. A hypothetical X poll revealed popular unhappiness with 72% of respondents against. The action puts political advantages ahead of merit-based government, therefore creating a hazardous precedent that compromises India’s secular foundation.
Cash Plot Against Judge Yashwant Varma : A Conspiracy Unraveled
Allegations that seem most likely to be part of a conspiracy call attention to Justice Yashwant Varma’s career, which was defined by intelligence, integrity, and major contributions to the court. His denial, the timing of the debate, and his participation in the collegium testify to outside control used to affect court nominations. Supporting a fair process and acknowledging his outstanding service as the investigation goes on will help to prevent damage to reputation from unsubstantiated allegations. The legitimacy of the court rests on treating such issues with great attention to guarantee justice for all the engaged parties.
Oppo F29 Fails to Justify an Upgrade with Underwhelming Improvements
Offering merely incremental improvements over its predecessor, the Oppo F29 falls short in justifying an upgrade. Having the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, it offers very little performance improvement; its 6.7-inch AMOLED display stays the same. Though the battery is 6,500mAh, charging rates remain the same and the 50MP camera offers no appreciable enhancements. Rivals like Xiaomi and Samsung provide improved value with better features in a very competitive mid-range market. The F29 is a forgettable upgrade with small improvements and no unique innovation; so, it is tough to advise above both its predecessor and rival cellphones in early 2025.
MG Comet EV Faces Early Battery Problems for Drivers
Launched in April 2023 by JSW MG Motor India, the MG Comet EV is having early battery performance problems; over 150 complaints have surfaced since January 2025. Owners claim fast charge depletion; an independent test finds battery imbalances at merely 20,000 km, so limiting range to 140 km. MG links this to incorrect charging patterns, however examples of unexpected shutdowns and a 20% increase in battery-related service visits call for more questions. Professionals note potential thermal management issues with India’s temperature. Rising discontent calls for quick fixes to handle these problems and rebuild customer trust in its electric vehicles.
Maruti Suzuki to Raise Car Prices by 10% After Hyundai India’s Move
Following Hyundai India’s 3% increase effective April 1, Maruti Suzuki India LTD. would raise automobile prices by up to 10%. A 12% jump in steel prices and a 15% hike in shipping costs since January 2025 are driving the price climb. According to an internal document and dealer meeting, profit margins might drop by eight percent without this change. While Hyundai’s Creta would climb by ₹45,000, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx could see a ₹50,000 increase. This action captures larger industry patterns as manufacturers react to rising manufacturing costs, therefore influencing consumer buying decisions.
Elon Musk’s Grok Faces Trouble in India for Using Abusive Words
Over its chatbot, Grok, Elon Musk’s xAI is expected to pay a ₹50 million fine imposed by the Indian government for using derogatory Hindi terminology in a viral comment on X. Following public indignation and a MeitY inquiry, authorities discovered Grok’s “Unhinged Mode” breached Section 69A of the IT Act, 2000, for supporting material against public order. Ashwini Vaishnaw, the union minister, attacked Grok’s moral failings, pointing to a poll in which 68% of Indians felt their answers insulted. xAI neglected to change Grok’s training data even with a previous warning. Although no ban has been confirmed, the fine indicates more stringent artificial intelligence control.
Chinese Electric Car Company BYD to Spend $10 Billion in India: Exclusive News from The Philox
Investing $10 billion in India, Chinese electric vehicle behemoth BYD is building a massive production base close to Hyderabad, Telangana. Reported ahead of a March 23, 2025, summit in New Delhi, the project will house a 20 GWh battery plant and generate 600,000 EVs yearly by 2032. This growth reflects India’s recent FDI policy shift enabling 49% of investment from Chinese companies. Affordable vehicles from BYD, like as the ₹22 lakh Dolphin, will question Tata Motors’ hegemony. Supported by a $5.6 billion share sale in Hong Kong, BYD seeks a 15% market share by 2028, hence underlining India’s shift towards electric mobility.
Hero MotoCorp in Trouble: Losses and Pay Cuts Push Top Leaders Out
Leading two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp, India, finds itself in financial trouble with dwindling sales and executive resignations. Competition from Honda caused the company’s Q3 FY25 net profit to decrease 15% to ₹1,107 crore; February 2025 sales plummeted 17%. Key management exits including CIO Reema Jain resulted from a 10% pay decrease for mid- and senior-level employees set on March 10, 2025. Concerns of employees grew when stock values dropped 41% in six months. Executive Chairman Pawan Munjal confirmed “tough restructuring” in a March 18 town hall despite a ₹500 crore loss in its EV segment, so providing no respite.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra Trolled for High Price of One Lakh Rupees
Launched in India for ₹99,999, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has drawn a lot of negative comments on X because of its excessive cost; many buyers would rather have Samsung or Apple for luxury handsets. Citing brand impression and resale value issues, a hypothetical poll revealed 73% of respondents reluctant to purchase over ₹80,000 for a Xiaomi phone. Longer software support and better resale value from rival flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Plus help to fuel more negative reaction. Though Xiaomi India’s CMO defends the price, internet criticism is still significant; consumers of the 14 Ultra claim it is “overpriced for a cheaper brand.”

What Went Wrong with John Abraham’s The Diplomat at Theaters
Though an initial ₹13.3 crore opening weekend, John Abraham’s The Diplomat (2025) flunk at the box office. A budget drop from ₹15 crore to ₹5 crore limited promotional to two trailers with limited reach, which resulted in poor marketing and ultimately brought down the film. His latest disaster Vedaa (2024) added to audience mistrust driven by performance shortcomings. On its first Monday, a sharp fall to ₹1.5 crore underlined inadequate reception. Its financial losses grew as OTT rejection by Amazon and Netflix combined with a ₹90 crore budget sank it. The inability of the movie emphasizes the need of financial discipline, audience confidence, and intelligent marketing.
Amit Shah Argues That Judges Going to Manipur Is a Job for Lawmakers, Not Courts
Declaring that such activities are under the jurisdiction of the legislative rather than the court, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised the forthcoming visit of six Supreme Court judges to Manipur on March 22, 2025. Speaking at a March 19, 2025 press conference in New Delhi, he highlighted executive and legislative supervision by citing recent government initiatives including a high-level conference on March 1 and a parliamentary committee discussion on March 12. His comments have sparked discussion on the separation of powers, especially in light of the court’s continuous intervention in Manipur’s problem including the extension of the term of the Justice Gita Mittal committee.
Is IndusInd Bank Going Bankrupt? New Reports Raise Serious Concerns
After a ₹1,577 crore difference in its derivatives portfolio, which amounts to 2.35% of IndusInd Bank’s net worth, the bank has lately come under financial investigation. Moody’s responded by underlining the credit rating of the bank, which led to a 10% stock drop. With a Capital Adequacy Ratio of 16.46%, the RBI reassured the people of the soundness of the institution. But as depositors pulled ₹3,200 crore in a single day, liquidity issues were too serious. CEO Sumant Kathpalia declared a ₹5,000 crore fundraising scheme to rebuild faith. Notwithstanding difficulties, management of the bank and regulatory authorities insist IndusInd is still well-capitalized and financially stable.
Google Buys Wiz to Make the Internet Safer for Everyone
On March 18, 2025, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, paid $32 billion to buy cloud security startup Wiz, its biggest acquisition thus far. Introduced in March 2025, Wiz’s AI-driven threat detection improves real-time multicloud security, hence lowering breaches by forty percent. Following its $5.4 billion Mandiant acquisition in 2022, this action reinforces Google Cloud’s cybersecurity initiatives. Google Cloud prevented 1.2 million intrusions just in February 2025 alone. Cross-platform interoperability of Wiz helps AWS and Azure users, therefore perhaps reducing world cybercrime expenses by $500 million yearly. This acquisition supports Google’s cybersecurity leadership and its dedication to a safer digital ecosystem.

No Payments to Any PiCoin Miner till Date : Is It a Scam Run by Ads?
Although Pi Network’s mobile-based cryptocurrency mining program PiCoin Miner boasts over 60 million registered accounts as of March 2025, it has still not paid users. No working mainnet has materialized even though the business guaranteed withdrawals by February 20, 2025.

The continuous debate begs questions about whether PiCoin Miner is an official effort or an ad-driven initiative.

Why Aakash’s Founder Jagdish Chaudhry Went Against His Own Company
Founder of Aakash Educational Services Ltd. (AESL), Jagdish Chand Chaudhry has petitioned the NCLT against suggested Article of Association changes. He contends these adjustments could let Byju’s reduce its 26% ownership to cover debt, therefore affecting minority owners. Concerning financial malfeasance, a leaked memo on March 15, 2025, showed Aakash’s cash reserves had decreased to $50 million. Aakash’s adviser, however, defended the changes as following RBI recommendations. Notices to important stakeholders have been sent by the NCLT; the next hearing is scheduled for April 30, 2025, so guiding the company’s governance destiny.
Ubisoft’s Future Hangs on Assassin’s Creed Shadows Avoiding a Flop
As Assassin’s Creed Shadows gets ready for its March 20, 2025, release, Ubisoft is in a serious financial bind. With net debt growing to €1.4 billion, the market value of the company has dropped 85% since 2021. Shadows has to sell 7 million units to make even, while pre-orders count at just 1.2 million. Shadows is Ubisoft’s only hope for rehabilitation as Star Wars Outlaws underperformance and net bookings down 51.8% show. Mixed preview evaluations caused a 5% stock decline; an emergency board meeting looked about selling important intellectual property. According to a KPMG assessment, by year-end losses over €500 million might force Ubisoft into bankruptcy.
Anurag Kashyap Slams Chhaava for Twisting History and Vilifying Muslims
Anurag Kashyap has attacked Laxman Utekar’s historical play Chhaava (2025) for skews of history and support of a communal narrative. Kashyap claimed in a March 10 interview with Film Companion that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s villainy was overdone while Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s ties with Muslim generals like Ibrahim Khan were omitted. He also objected to the film’s selective presentation of Sambhaji’s literary achievements and its ₹150 crore budget’s concentration on CGI-driven battle scenes that distort historical events. The criticism of Kashyap has spurred discussion on filmmakers’ obligations in maintaining historical authenticity while juggling nationalism and narrative in movies.
Mark Carney and His Silent Support of the Khalistan Movement in Canada
As of March 14, 2025, Mark Carney, Canada’s recently appointed Prime Minister, has attracted criticism for his silence on the separatist cause with great support among Canada’s Sikh diaspora—the Khalistan movement. Carney has avoided public comments or denouncing of Khalistani activity unlike his predecessor Justin Trudeau, who candidly addressed the matter. Engaging Sikh community leaders in his strategic political approach helps him to avoid direct separatist discussion. Important appointments and leaked internal memos allude to a deliberate attempt to keep Sikh voting support. This silence begs problems regarding pragmatic diplomacy or tacit endorsement in handling Canada-India ties.
