If you are looking for a TV under Rs 1,00,000, there are many options and a host of features you can expect from your TV. From local dimming to a native 120Hz panel with support for all HDMI 2.1 features, Rs 1,00,000 is the sweet spot for great features and performance.

Pick of the weekNapoleonUpon its theatrical release, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon primarily gained headlines for the bullish way in which its 86-year-old director approached the concept of historical accuracy (“Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut up then!”). Now it has finally found its way to a home release, though, we actually have a chance to judge Napoleon on its merits. And this has to be a good thing, because it has a hell of a lot going for it. It’s full of vast, broad spectacle. It’s funnier than most…

In a recent interview with The Times of London, Villeneuve said that “movies have been corrupted by…

Why else would the morally gray anti-hero, such as The Punisher, be such a popular character?  Sometimes it's the villain, not the hero, who most people remember. I mean, for crying out loud, we’ve ranked every MAJOR version of The Joker, and that’s not even accounting for all of the “MINOR”  animated portrayals of the character, of which there are many.     That said, I like to think that Black villains are in a special class all of their own. You see, while it’s very hard…
