Did 'Mahavatar Narasimha' Copy A Scene From 'God Of War'? Viral Reddit Clip Sparks Fierce Debate

Mahavatar Narasimha, an animated film released in 2024, became a huge hit in India. Made on a budget of about Rs 40 crore, it collected a massive Rs 326 crore at the box office. The film was produced by Hombale Films and Kleem Productions. Hombale Films, known for big hits like KGF and Kantara, entered animation for the first time with this project.  Many people praised the movie for putting Indian animation in the spotlight. But now a new discussion on Reddit is raising questions about one fight scene in the film. Did Mahavatar Narasimha Copy God Of War? A fresh debate has taken over Reddit after a user under the name Pioladoporcaputo pointed out that a fight scene in Mahavatar Narasimha looks very close to a famous battle from the video game God of War (2018).  Top: videogame God of War (2018). Bottom: Indian Netflix movie Mahavatar Narasimha (2024). A frame-by-frame copybyu/Pioladoporcaputo inWellthatsucks The scene in question shows Narasimha fighting Hiranyakashipu. When viewers compared the movie scene with the game’s Kratos-versus-Baldur fight, many felt the shots matched too closely. According to the post, the moves, timing, and camera angles in both scenes appear almost the same when watched side by side. The characters, art style, and backgrounds are clearly different, but the action pattern follows a very similar rhythm. This has made people wonder if the scene was inspired by the game or copied too closely. The user who shared the comparison said the moment feels almost “copy and pasted,” and that one specific part of the fight matches frame by frame. The scene is small, but the similarities have created a big online storm.  Even though the film remains extremely successful, this debate has now become a major talking point among fans of both the game and the movie. 'Is That Really How The Movie Is? Lol': Netizens On The Viral Reddit Post The clip has caught fire with people commenting on how the low-budget film with copied scenes captured such a big collection, with one user under the name, greenrangerguy, saying, "Well I hope they get sued to oblivion so they can't make any more." Another Reddit user with the name Impressive-Photo1789 defends the scene by saying, "Lots of studios purchase and sell animation license packages. It's an industry standard format, once the project is done, if they can get some more money from licensing assets just taking up server space, why not." While people are sharing their views on the copied fight scene, the movie creators Hombale Films and Kleem Productions are tight-lipped for now.

Watch: Viral Clip Resurfaces Of Vajpayee Advising Modi To Uphold 'Raj Dharma' In 2002

A video clip from the aftermath of the 2002 Gujarat riots has resurfaced online, drawing renewed attention to an exchange between former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. During his visit to the state, Vajpayee was asked what message he wished to convey to Modi. His response, rooted in India’s cultural and moral traditions, was seen as a subtle yet pointed critique of the government’s handling of the violence. The moment, caught on camera, has now re-entered public discussion as the clip circulates widely on social media.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Statecraft (@statecraft_reels) Vajpayee’s “Raj Dharma” Message When asked by a reporter about his message for the Chief Minister, Vajpayee replied with calm firmness: “My only message for the Chief Minister is that he should follow Raj Dharma.” He went on to explain that Raj Dharma, the duty of governance, holds a deep and timeless significance in India’s cultural ethos. His remarks came just weeks after widespread inter-communal violence between Hindus and Muslims in Gujarat. According to official figures, 1,044 people (790 Muslims and 254 Hindus) were killed during the riots, which unfolded less than five months after Modi took office as Chief Minister in 2001. At the press conference, Modi, seated beside Vajpayee,smiled briefly as the former PM urged the need to avoid discrimination on religious, communal or caste lines. Modi interjected, “I am also doing that, Sir.” Vajpayee then added, “I believe Narendra Bhai is doing exactly that.” Reports have long suggested that Vajpayee was initially in favour of removing Modi from office due to his perceived incompetence during the violence. However, he reportedly stepped back when senior BJP leader and Deputy PM LK Advani threatened to resign if Modi was dismissed. After his defeat in the 2004 national elections, Vajpayee is said to have admitted to a television reporter that not replacing Modi in 2002 had been a mistake.

International Men’s Day 2025: How Indian Men Are Redefining Self-Care With Modern Cosmetic Procedures

International Men’s Day 2025: How Indian Men Are Redefining Self-Care With Modern Cosmetic Procedures

{By: Dr Rajat Gupta} For a long time, men in India kept grooming simple: a shave, a haircut and the occasional face wash. That bare-minimum approach is slowly fading. Today, more men, especially in urban areas, are paying attention to how they look, how they age, and how they show up at work and in social situations. It isn’t just behaviour that’s changing; the way men think about self-care is evolving too. What was once thought of as a woman’s space is now becoming a natural part of men’s wellness routines. ALSO READ: The Skinimalism Trend In Babycare: Why ‘Less Is More’ Is Transforming Infant Skincare What Procedures Are Indian Men Choosing? Walk into any modern aesthetic clinic and you’ll see a clear pattern: men are no longer hesitating to opt for cosmetic procedures that help them correct their physical appearance concerns and feel better about themselves. Here are the most common procedures more and more Indian men are choosing. Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Chest Reduction): A large number of men reach out for treatment when excess chest fat or glandular tissue makes them feel uncomfortable in fitted T-shirts or at the gym. A more contoured chest often brings an immediate sense of relief. Rhinoplasty And Facial Contouring: Whether it’s refining the nose or sharpening the jawline, men are choosing procedures that enhance their features while keeping everything looking natural and masculine. Body Contouring And Liposuction: Stubborn fat around the abdomen or flanks, areas that don’t always respond to diet and exercise, is another major concern. Targeted fat reduction helps create a more balanced silhouette. Non-Surgical Treatments: There’s also a growing interest in treatments that don’t require downtime. Skin rejuvenation, injectables and laser-based procedures are popular among working professionals who want subtle improvements without taking time off. Why More Men Are Saying Yes To Cosmetic Procedures The reasons behind this shift aren’t superficial. They emerge from deeper cultural changes. Changing Ideas Of Masculinity: Taking care of one’s appearance is now seen as a sign of respect for oneself. Men are more willing to talk about hair loss, ageing skin or body concerns without feeling judged. The Influence Of Social Media And Constant Visibility: With video calls, online meetings and social platforms placing everyone under a spotlight, many men want to look fresher and more put-together. The desire isn’t to look younger, just more like the energetic version of themselves. Confidence In Work And Relationships: Fixing a long-standing concern, like a receding hairline or an unbalanced nose, often gives men the push they need to feel more assured during interviews, meetings or even social gatherings. Clinics across India report that a significant portion of their clients today are men, many of them in their late twenties to early forties, a demographic that was once hesitant to walk through the door. Safety, Expectations And Mental Well-Being As cosmetic procedures become more common, a few basics cannot be overlooked: Choose a qualified surgeon with the right training and facilities. Understand what the treatment can and cannot achieve. Go in with realistic expectations; subtle, natural improvements work best. Doctors also emphasise that cosmetic treatments are not designed to address deeper emotional or psychological concerns. They may help someone feel better about a specific feature, but they aren’t a replacement for mental-health support when needed. Redefining Confidence For The Indian Man Men’s self-care in India has moved far beyond the grooming aisle. It has grown into a broader, more thoughtful approach to well-being, one that includes looking after the body, skin and overall appearance without embarrassment. When chosen responsibly, cosmetic procedures are simply becoming another tool that helps men feel more comfortable, more authentic and more present in their everyday lives.

Did humans really outbreed Neanderthals? A new mathematical model says yes
Science

Did humans really outbreed Neanderthals? A new mathematical model says yes

New research suggests Neanderthals didn't face a sudden extinction but were gradually absorbed into the growing human population. A mathematical model indicates repeated, small-scale human migrations led to genetic dilution, effectively merging Neanderthal DNA over thousands of years. This demographic shift, rather than conflict, explains their fading identity, with their genes now present in modern humans.

The Skinimalism Trend In Babycare: Why ‘Less Is More’ Is Transforming Infant Skincare

As parents become more conscious of what touches their baby’s delicate skin, a new shift is reshaping modern babycare, skinimalism. The trend focuses on stripping routines back to essentials and trusting the skin’s natural ability to balance, heal and protect itself. With rising awareness around ingredients, microbiome health, and mindful consumption, skinimalism is fast becoming the most trusted approach to nurturing infant skin. ALSO READ: Pregnant Women At High Risk As Delhi AQI Crosses 400: What They Must Avoid Immediately Why Baby Skin Needs Simplicity, Not Stacks Of Products Baby skin is naturally soft, sensitive and still developing. Too many lotions, washes or fragrances can actually do more harm than good. As Dr Soumya Renji, Consultant, Paediatrics, at P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre, Mahim, explains, “Babies are born with a natural skin barrier that is soft, sensitive and still developing. Overuse of creams, washes or fragrance lotions can disrupt this barrier leading to dryness, irritation or allergies.” This is exactly where skinimalism steps in, encouraging routines built around minimal, essential, fragrance-free products that support the skin instead of overwhelming it. A Growing Shift Among Parents Toward Mindful Babycare Parents today are reading labels, questioning long routines, and prioritising gentle, conscious choices. Chandra Shekhar, Founder of CuteStory, highlights this shift by saying, "Parents are analysing what they apply on their babies and what they are, looking for simplicity and inquiring about ingredients.” He adds that "overuse of products can be more harmful by stripping the skin of moisture and disrupting the skin microbiome and creating infections.” This shift is not just a trend, it’s a return to trusting the body and respecting the natural balance babies are born with. What A Minimal Baby Skincare Routine Really Looks Like You don’t need shelves full of products to care for your baby’s skin. In fact, most babies only need a few essentials. Dr. Renji explains, “Skin Minimalism focuses on gentle cleansers, minimal ingredients and fragrance-free dermatologist tested formulations. A mild baby cleanser, a mild moisturiser or sunscreens (when age appropriate) are often all that is needed.” Shekhar echoes the same philosophy, "For most babies, a gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturiser, and sunblock are all the basic and essential products needed for a complete skincare routine.” The focus here is not on how many products you use, but how intentionally you use them. Protecting The Baby’s Microbiome And Natural Barrier One of the strongest arguments for skinimalism is how effectively it preserves the baby’s microbiome, the protective layer of bacteria that keeps their skin healthy. Dr. Renji believes, “The goal is to protect the baby skin natural microbiome rather than overwhelm it with layers of unnecessary products.” Natural fabrics, hydration, and timely diaper changes complement this minimalist routine, keeping skin irritation and sensitivities at bay. Movement Rooted In Sustainability And Confidence Skinimalism isn’t just about fewer bottles, it’s about trusting nature. “Minimalism is about more than products: it is about confidence in the body’s self-sustaining and self-repairing abilities. It is about less waste,” says Shekhar. He adds that skinimalism “embodies a revival of practicality rather than just a fleeting fad” and shows that “generosity and gentleness are not opposed and that they form the foundation for the development of healthy skin throughout life.” Dr. Renji’s perspective reinforces the same message of trust and balance, “Skin minimalism is about trusting nature and understanding that less really is more.” With parents becoming more ingredient-conscious and environmentally aware, skinimalism is emerging as a long-term philosophy rather than a passing trend. Its foundation lies in supporting the baby’s comfort, strengthening the skin barrier, and reducing risks linked to irritation and allergies.

Reddit Is Exploding Over An iPhone 17 That Was Damaged After A Minor Fall: Here's What Happened

iPhone 17 was another big hit in Apple’s history. Users worldwide were excited about its new features, faster performance, and the promise of a tougher design. But one recent Reddit post is now going viral because it shows a very different experience. A user named xentricescp shared what happened when his wife’s three-week-old iPhone 17 slipped from a dining chair and fell on the concrete floor.  The drop was small, and the phone was inside a Spigen case, so they thought there was nothing to worry about. But the result shocked them. What Happened To The iPhone 17 After The Drop According to the Reddit post, the iPhone 17 was only three weeks old when it slipped out of the user’s wife’s pocket and fell onto the concrete. It wasn’t a big fall, just from a dining chair, and the phone had a Spigen case on it. They expected it to be totally safe. 3 Weeks Old iPhone 17 🫠byu/xentricescp iniphone But the moment they picked it up, they were surprised. Even though the case was on, the phone didn’t survive the fall the way they hoped.  The user also explained that they always keep their phones in perfect condition. They even still have their old iPhone X looking brand new. So seeing damage on a new iPhone 17 after such a small fall was a big shock for them. Netizens React To The iPhone 17 Drop Story The story quickly caught attention, and many people jumped in with their own thoughts and experiences. While one user commented, "You have been freed from the stresses of keeping your phone perfect. Just put er back in the case and keep living your best life!". Another user shared a painful memory, "I got my 17 pro max launch day, had a case for it when I picked it up, dropped it outside of the store, and it fell out of the case and slid along the concrete for a few feet before stopping with some bad rash on the aluminum body and a cracked screen. Still hurts because I don’t want a new one yet." Some reactions were more brutal. One person wrote, "Damn looks like you might want to consider throwing this one in the trash and buying a new one." Others discussed the material of the phone. One user said, "All non-Pro iPhones have been made from aluminium since the iPhone 5. I don’t understand why this is suddenly an issue, tbh." Another pointed out Apple’s shift in materials, "It’s a problem of apples own making promoting stainless steel, and then titanium, then suddenly switching paths. You can’t sell us on a premium feature and then expect us to be happy when it’s taken away." The mix of comments shows how strongly people feel about iPhone durability, and how one small fall can spark a big online discussion.

Hyundai Plans Fortuner Rival With Palisade Hybrid?

Hyundai Plans Fortuner Rival With Palisade Hybrid?

Hyundai is planning a rival for Fortuner with the Palisade hybrid. The Fortuner currently has next to no competition but Hyundai could be coming in to spoil the party with the all new Palisade hybrid. Hyundai Palisade Hybrid - Details Hyundai could be launching in India within the next few years. The key point would be the fact that it would be localised and not imported which means the pricing would be competitive. The new Palisade is a massive luxury SUV with three row seating and a bold new look which surely will appeal. The Palisade would be the most expensive SUV in India and the price would be near the Fortuner if it comes with high localisation. The key element is the fact that the Palisade has the new hybrid system which includes a big turbo petrol engine. We can expect the hybrid to come to India with the combined range being more than 1000 km per full tank with the hybrid model giving more efficiency than 14 kmpl! Hybrid makes sense for big SUVs and the new Palisade is loaded with technology plus premium features too. The Gasoline 2.5 T-GDI Hybrid will be expected to deliver 1015 km per full tank. The SUV also features a large V6 petrol but that is not expected to come to India. The new Palisade is larger than the Tucson and is perhaps the largest Hyundai yet but with localisation could be a Fortuner rival in the Rs 50 lakh segment. The new SUV looks huge, has three row seating with captain seats and the hybrid powertrain will further mean more sales in markets where diesel is losing interest. We can expect a launch by the next two years or so.

Pregnant Women At High Risk As Delhi AQI Crosses 400: What They Must Avoid Immediately

As Delhi’s pollution levels surge past an AQI of 400, the hazardous winter smog once again poses a serious health threat, especially for pregnant women. With the city enveloped in a thick blanket of toxic air, experts warn that prolonged exposure can harm both the mother and her unborn child. Here’s how severe pollution impacts pregnancy and what expecting mothers must avoid during extreme AQI days. ALSO READ: 6 Major Causes Of Preterm Birth And How To Prevent Them How Toxic Air Affects Pregnant Women And Their Unborn Baby Every winter, hospitals report a sharp rise in cases of cough, breathlessness, asthma flare-ups and respiratory distress. But beyond the visible impact, pollution silently affects babies still in the womb. Studies indicate that prolonged exposure to harmful particles in the air may increase the chances of pre-term birth, low birth weight and in severe situations, miscarriage or stillbirth. Pollutants can travel through the bloodstream, reaching the placenta and affecting fetal growth and development. Babies exposed to toxic air during pregnancy may also have a higher risk of developing asthma later in childhood. For mothers, polluted air can trigger high blood pressure, breathlessness, or asthma attacks, conditions that directly influence fetal health and overall pregnancy outcomes. Precautions Pregnant Women Must Follow When AQI Is Above 400 With pollution at severe levels, expecting mothers need to be extra cautious. Here are essential steps to reduce exposure and safeguard maternal and fetal health: Stay Indoors During Peak Smog Hours: The most important rule is to remain at home as much as possible. Pregnant women are more vulnerable to pollution-related complications, making it crucial to avoid stepping out when air quality is at its worst. Drink Plenty Of Water To Stay Hydrated: Adequate hydration helps the body flush out toxins and eases irritation caused by dry, polluted air. Water also supports healthy body functions, benefiting both mother and baby. Wear A Good-Quality Mask When Outside: If stepping outdoors is unavoidable, an N95 or medical-grade mask can filter out a large portion of harmful particles. This simple barrier can significantly reduce exposure. Keep Indoor Air Clean And Safe: Create a protected environment inside your home. Use indoor plants, run air purifiers, and keep windows shut during poor AQI hours to limit polluted air from entering.

Know How Ageing Can Impact Diabetes Management And What Older Adults Should Consider

(By Dr. Adarsh K S) Ageing changes almost every system in the body and diabetes, being a condition of balance, feels those shifts first. As the years pass, sugar control becomes less about numbers and more about safety, comfort, and confidence. ALSO READ: World Diabetes Day 2025: Hidden Stress Epidemic Fueling Early-Onset Diabetes Among Millennials And Gen Z When Sugar Control Meets The Years With age, metabolism slows, muscle mass declines, and the pancreas releases insulin more sluggishly. Add to this reduced activity or other health issues like high blood pressure or kidney disease, and managing diabetes becomes more complex. What worked perfectly in middle age might not suit someone in their seventies. Safety Comes First For younger adults, the aim is tight sugar control. In older adults, the priority changes staying safe and steady. Low sugar levels can cause dizziness, confusion, or sudden falls. That’s why doctors prefer flexible targets and simplified regimens. It’s better to stay stable than to chase perfection. Simplifying Medicines And Monitoring Many seniors already take multiple medications. Some diabetes drugs can drop sugar levels too low or strain the kidneys. Regular reviews with the doctor help keep treatment simple and safe — fewer tablets, clear schedules, and kidney-friendly options. Long-acting insulins often work better with minimal daily fluctuations. Lifestyle: Small Steps That Count Even gentle activity makes a big difference. A short walk, easy yoga, or household chores improve circulation and sugar use. Meal’s rich in fiber and protein, proper hydration, and consistent meal timing prevent wide sugar swings. Regular eye, foot, and dental checks help detect early complications. Living Well, Not Just Longer Ageing with diabetes isn’t about limitation. It’s about adapting wisely. When care plans respect the body’s slower rhythm, older adults can live independently and joyfully. The goal is not a perfect glucometer reading it’s steady health, clear mind, and peace through the years.

WATCH: CISF Stops Knife-Wielding Man Charging At Cab Drivers At Bengaluru Airport

A major security scare unfolded late Sunday night at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru when a man allegedly attempted to attack two taxi drivers with a knife. The accused, identified as Sohail Ahmed, was arrested under the Arms Act and later sent to judicial custody following swift action by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Bengaluru Knife-Wielding Man Stopped by CISF According to police, the confrontation was the result of an earlier personal clash. Around 1:30 am on Sunday, Ahmed was reportedly assaulted by taxi drivers Jagdish JR and Renu Kumar. Nearly 11 hours after the altercation, at about 11:59 pm, Ahmed returned to the airport armed with a long metal knife and rushed toward the two men near the Terminal 1 arrival lane, reported Money Control. Eyewitnesses and CCTV footage confirmed that Ahmed ran at the drivers with the knife raised. CISF personnel posted at the terminal, led by ASI/Executive Sunil Kumar, immediately stepped in. The security team overpowered Ahmed within moments, disarmed him, and ensured that no passengers, airport staff, or bystanders were harmed in the busy arrival area, as per Siasat. Their intervention prevented what officials say could have escalated into a serious crime inside one of the country’s busiest airports. The CISF later released CCTV footage of the incident on X (formerly Twitter), praising the quick reaction of its personnel. “Timely intervention by CISF averted a major crime at Bengaluru Airport. Around midnight on November 16, a man armed with a long metal knife charged at two taxi drivers at the T1 arrival area. ASI Sunil Kumar and team acted swiftly, overpowered the attacker and recovered the knife, preventing any harm to passengers or staff,” the post said.

What Is China’s 9-9-6 Work Rule That Narayana Murthy Cited To Back 72-Hour Week?

What Is China’s 9-9-6 Work Rule That Narayana Murthy Cited To Back 72-Hour Week?

Infosys founder Narayana Murthy has once again stirred debate over productivity and work culture, reiterating his belief that young Indians need to put in longer hours if the country is to accelerate its economic growth. In a recent interview, the 79-year-old entrepreneur referred to China’s once-prevalent “9-9-6” work routine, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, as an example of the intensity required for rapid national progress. The practice, common in several Chinese tech giants during the country’s tech boom, amounted to a 72-hour work week. Though China’s Supreme Court ruled the schedule illegal in 2021, reports suggest it still persists informally across sectors. Narayan Murthy's Request To India Workers Murthy had made headlines in 2023 for urging young Indians to work 70 hours a week. His latest remarks revisit the same theme, with China’s economic rise serving as a comparison. “There is a saying in China, 9, 9, 6… that is a 72-hour week,” he told Republic TV, adding that India’s youth should adopt similar discipline if they want the country to grow at a competitive pace. When asked whether India can realistically catch up with China in manufacturing or broader economic metrics, Murthy said it is possible, but only with exceptional effort across the board. He noted that India currently grows at around 6.57%, which he called “reasonable,” but highlighted that China’s economy remains several times larger. “If we have great ideas and back them with extraordinary action, from citizens, bureaucrats, politicians, corporate leaders and civil society, I believe we can achieve it. But the task is not easy,” he said. Murthy stressed that meaningful progress hinges on individuals raising their own standards. “Each of us must set high benchmarks for ourselves. The sum of those efforts is what will help India reach China,” he added.

Tata Sierra Production Version First Look Review: 10 Things We Learnt

Tata Sierra Production Version First Look Review: 10 Things We Learnt 

Tata Motors has finally offered a close look at the production-ready Sierra, revealing how the iconic nameplate has been reimagined for today’s SUV market. Larger, more premium and significantly more feature-rich than earlier Tata models, the new Sierra promises to blend nostalgic design cues with thoroughly modern engineering. From a more practical cabin layout and multiple screens to a fresh engine line-up and impressive ground clearance, here are ten key takeaways from our first look at the all-new Sierra. 1. The all new Sierra is quite a large car and it looks bigger when seen in the real world but it is roughly the same length as the Curvv while it is smaller than the Harrier.  2. The boxy styling adds to the stance but ground clearance is huge and the big 19 inch wheels further is a big talking point as it's bigger than rivals. The new Sierra maintains some of the classic Sierra design details but with some clever tweaking. 3. The interior is now more practical than the other Tata SUVs with cupholders, a floating storage console and bigger door pockets.  4. There are three screens for the Sierra including one for the passenger while the design else is free of buttons with a phygital panel housing some controls. The door pads plus the quality is much higher than other Tata cars too. 5. The driving position is proper SUV like and you sit higher with a powered driver seat and seal walk in device.  6. The seat ventilation button is the same position as the other Tata SUVs and not on the centre console. 7. Rear seat space is good by class standards while the addition of the middle seat headrest is a much needed feature which is now there. Legroom is decent but the headroom is excellent while the floor is nearly flat. That said, it is a bit compact for three passengers. 8. Feature list is high including three screens, panoramic glass roof, reclining rear seat, Dolby Atmos with sound bar, power driver seat, JBL audio system, Adas level 2, 360 degree camera, powered tailgate with kick sensor, manual boss mode and more. 9. There are drive and traction modes but the ICE version most probably will not come with a 4x4 although suspension as well as ground clearance is high with the same toughness being expected as in the Harrier. 10. The new Sierra will debut a new line-up of engines including a 1.5l turbo petrol and a naturally aspirated unit along with a 1.5 diesel with automatic in all of the engine options.
