However, to fans’ utter dismay, the movie has still not been released on OTT and JioCinema hasn’t officially issued any statement regarding the same.

Since then, fans haven’t stopped expressing their disappointment and frustration with the scheme of events over the internet.

Bhediya OTT release

The reason why fans are extremely disappointed over the delay in the Bhediya OTT release is because generally, the movies release on OTT platforms within eight weeks of their theatrical releases. However, in the case of Bhediya, it’s been more than five months now since the movie’s theatrical release in November 2022. One fan was even seen asking over Twitter that “Will Bhediya ever release on OTT.”

Fans have been constantly asking JioCinema about the delay and calling the platform out for not informing the viewers even until now about the unexpected delay.

“@JioCinema what time bhediya is releasing on ott today ?” asked another user.

Another user asked, “@JioCinema when will bhediya release on OTT ?”

Bhediya OTT release

Bhediya is a comedy horror Hindi language film that stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role as Bhaskar Sharma along with Kriti Sanon as Dr. Anika, Deepak Dobriyal as Panda, Abhishek Banerjee as Janardan “Jana”, and Saurabh Shukla as Bagga.

Although, the movie didn’t perform quite well in terms of its box office collection yet it created much-awaited hype amongst Dhawan’s fans with respect to its OTT release as the fans want to watch the movies in the comfort of their home.

Let’s see when the movie will finally go air on JioCinema.

About Bhediya

Bhediya OTT release

Bhediya is a multi-starrer horror-comedy starring Dhawan in the title role. The horror comedy follows Bhaskar (Varun), who transforms into a werewolf after he is bitten by a mythical wolf.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film opened to positive to mixed reviews upon its theatrical release in November last year. Notably, despite of the fact that Bhediya did not perform well at the box office, the makers announced its sequel during a Jio event.

Apart from Bhediya 2, Stree 2 was also announced. To be precise, the announcement of the release date of Bhediya 2 in 2025 was made at an event of Jio Studios, called Infinite Together.

Bhediya OTT release

The movie was first released in theaters in November 2022 but failed to cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark at the box office.

However, looking at the anticipation that was generated by the reports about the movie’s digital release, it’s clear that it’s one of the most-awaited movies in the OTT space.

The standard practice for new movies is to be released on streaming platforms within eight weeks after their initial theatrical release.

With Bhediya’s theatrical release being almost five months ago, fans expected to watch the movie online by now.

Despite the confusion and disappointment, fans will have to wait until JioCinema decides to release Bhediya on its platform. It remains to be seen when this will happen.

Bhediya OTT release

Bhediya is helmed by Amar Kaushik from a script written by Niren Bhatt. It’s a horror-comedy and it follows the adventures of an Average joe who becomes a werewolf after being bitten by a wolf. The movie also stars Kriti Sanon, Deepak Dobriyal, and Abhishek Banerjee among others.

While the fans were eagerly waiting for the OTT release of Varun Dhawan-Kriti Sanon starrer Bhediya on Jio Cinema, the movie mysteriously was not available for streaming.
Bhediya was among the top movies which were slated to release this weekend on Jio Cinema, however, the Varun Dhawan starrer horror comedy was nowhere to be found on Jio Cinema.

For the unversed, it was reported that the Bhediya OTT release date will be April 21, 2023, and it will be released on Jio Cinema. Ever since then, fans were eagerly waiting for Bhediya’s OTT release. With April 21 is already gone, fans are now questioning Jio Cinema why the film is not released or at least reveal the Bhediya OTT Release date.

It is pertinent to mention here that multiple fans took to their Twitter handle and asked Jio Cinema on point black why Bhediya was not released despite the fact that it was announced that it will be released on April 21. However, Jio Cinema did not even reply to a single query on social media.

In general, any movie which is first released in theaters takes at least 90 days to be dropped on the streaming platform. In case, the movie is doing great at the box, office the time period may be stretched.

However, Bhediya was first released in theaters in November 2022 but failed to cross the coveted Rs 100 crore mark at the box office. However, despite its poor theatrical run, Bhediya was among the awaited movies on OTT and the reaction of fans on social media proves it.

Now, once you take out the phone, the first thing that grabs your attention is the design of the device. Let’s get to that.

Vivo T2x 5G Design

Vivo T2x 5G

One of the first you will notice about Vivo T2x 5G is its design quality. The Ultra slim body of T2X 5G makes it one of the easy-to-hold Vivo smartphones with a boxy body design.

With just 8.15 mm thickness and a 2.5D straight frame, the overall design of this smartphone is attractive. It perfectly integrates fashion with simplicity. The smooth-to-touch finish adds an extra touch of glamour while also adding additional comfort in holding the device.

The smartphone comes in three colours option including Aurora Gold, Marine Blue and Glimmer Black. And the colours become much more captivating thanks to the innovative Starlight Inner Plating Process. The frosted back cover gives off a delicate and shiny look due to the upgrade of the surface treatment technology.

The design also stands out for the rear camera area. It is stitched with a matte back cover that gives it an attractive look laced with simplicity and ingenuity.

Overall, design-wise, Vivo T2x 5G with its straight frame boxy design is neat and stylish with a concept that can be credited with creativity.

Vivo T2x 5G Display

Vivo T2x 5G

The Vivo T2X 5G features a stunning 6.58-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels and a pixel density of 401 ppi. The aspect ratio of 20:9 and the bezel-less design with a waterdrop notch provide a wide and immersive viewing experience.

We tried watching some videos on the smartphone to understand its display quality and the results were satisfactory. While there is nothing extraordinary about the display quality and definitely a higher quality display would have made the device a total steal, there is not much to complain regarding the overall display performance.

A positive, however, is the screen-to-body ratio of 84.31%. This ensures minimal bezels, making it easy to hold and operate the device with one hand.

Talking of the positives, we also tested the display outdoors and it remains quite bright with a maximum brightness of 650 nits. This makes the display easy to read even under direct sunlight.

While we are discussing the display positives, the icing on the cake is the 144Hz refresh rate. It makes the display performance smooth and perfect for seamless scrolling and transitions.

Overall, although specification-wise the display may seem a little underwhelming, after using the device we can say there is nothing much that we missed. It could easily be a choice for gamers and heavy users. We found the Vivo T2X 5G’s display decent to use which offers a good viewing experience for users.

Vivo T2x 5G Camera

Vivo T2x 5G Review

Although the selfie camera is rather disappointing, we in our testing of the Vivo T2x 5G are really impressed with the overall camera features. The 50-megapixel primary camera is able to capture stunningly clear and detailed photos, even in low-light conditions. The f/1.8 aperture allows for more light to enter the lens, resulting in brighter and more vivid images.

The 2-megapixel macro camera is also a nice addition. We tried taking some close-up shots, it could capture those shots with great detail and clarity.

The autofocus also works seamlessly, making it easy to focus on the subject of the photo, while the LED flash ensures that images are well-lit and not too dark.

We also loved the various shooting modes available, including continuous shooting and HDR, which make it easier to capture more detailed and dynamic images. Another aspect to like about the camera, both rear and front, is the Super Night Mode. This particular mode was impressive during our shoot test. It captures every wonderful moment in the nighttime in purer and more expressive images.

The camera features like digital zoom, auto flash, face detection, and touch to focus make it even more convenient to take great pictures.

Overall, we are satisfied with the camera performance of the Vivo T2X 5G and would recommend it to anyone looking for a phone with a great camera.

Based on the battery features, we can say that the Vivo T2X 5G offers an impressive battery life. With a massive 5000mAh battery capacity and 18W fast charging support, the phone can easily last all day on a single charge.

We performed a couple of battery tests on the device and the results were in line with our expectations.

We were able to use the phone for several hours on end, streaming videos, browsing social media, and making calls, without having to worry about running out of battery.

The phone’s quick charging feature is also a big plus, as it allows me to quickly charge the battery when needed. The USB Type-C port makes it easy to charge the phone and also ensures faster data transfer speeds.

They can simply provide their PNR number to retrieve their booking information and check if their seat or berth is confirmed, waitlisted or on RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation).

Additionally, the PNR system also helps Indian Railways to manage its passenger data more efficiently and provide better services. The system is an essential part of train travel in India, providing a convenient and reliable way for passengers to check the status of their reservations and for Indian Railways to manage its passenger data more efficiently.

What Does a PNR Number Generated Explain?

Pnr Facts of your rail tickets on redBus

PNR number holds various information related to the train journey.

  • Passenger Details – Name, Age, Sex, Birth Preference
  • Ticket Details – Train Number, Date of Journey, Origin/Source Station, Destination Station, Boarding Station, Class, Berth, Quota
  • Fare, Transaction Type and Payment Details
  • The first 3 digits tell us from which Passenger Reservation System or PRS the ticket has been booked.
  • The first digit depends on the Zone of the Train, w.r.t. starting station of the train.
  • Zonal Codes – 1 (SCR Secunderabad PRS); 2, 3 (NR, NCR, NWR, NER New Delhi PRS); 4, 5 (SR, SWR, SCR Chennai PRS); 6, 7 (NFR, ECR, ER, ECoR, SER, SECR Calcutta PRS); 8, 9 (CR, WCR, WR Mumbai PRS)
  • The last seven digits are randomly generated numbers using the Rand() function. These numbers represent no information about the ticket or journey as such. They only provide a unique identity to the PNR number.

Types of IRCTC PNR Status

 Different PNR status types provided:

 CNF – It means confirmed. The ticket status shows as CNF when seats are confirmed.

 RAC – It stands for Reservation Against Cancellation meaning the train ticket has a confirmed seat but a wait-listed berth. If the tickets are booked under RAC status, then the allocated berth has to be split into two seats.

 CAN – It means cancelled i.e. ticket has been cancelled.

 WL – Waiting List is a ticket status that gets confirmed only if the passengers on the same train who have booked before you cancel their ticket.

 GNWL – General Waiting List. The probability of this ticket status getting confirmed is very high.

 PQWL – Pooled Quota Waiting List status is issued when a passenger is travelling from the origin station to a station short of the last station, or from an intermediate station to the last station, or between any two intermediate stations.

 RLWL – Remote Location Waiting List means a ticket has been issued to a passenger for intermediate stations (between the origin and terminating station). These intermediate stations are usually the most important towns on the route in particular.

 TQWL – Tatkal Quota Waiting List. This is the waiting list for tatkal tickets booking. The tickets in Tatkal get confirmed directly, instead of going through RAC. However, during chart preparation, GNWL is preferred over TQWL.

 NOSB – It stands for NO SEAT BERTH which means a journey is allowed without a seat. This is allotted to child passengers below the age of 11 years.

What are Zones From Which PNR Is Issued?

 There are several zones of the Indian Railways from which the PNR is issued.

NR: Northern Railways

NER: North Eastern Railways

NFR: Northeast Frontier Railways

ER: Eastern Railways

SER: South Eastern Railways

SCR: South Central Railways

SR: Southern Railways

  • Type “PNR (10-digit PNR Number)” and send it to 5676747.

Q2. Can you explain RLGN PNR Status?

Answer. Remote Location General Waiting List (RLGN) is issued when a user books a ticket where the WL quota is RLWL. This means after booking a ticket, RLWL gets named RLGN.

Q3. What are the benefits of a PNR Number?

Answer: You can order food to your seat by telling your PNR number. You can book rooms and dorms and get them at cheaper prices at railway stations.

Q4. Is the PNR number allotted for unreserved and reserved tickets?

Answer. PNR number is only allotted for reserved tickets.

Q5. How to check the status of the waiting list?

Answer. Check the PNR number status via any of the available methods. The status of your ticket will display on the screen.

Q6. How is a PNR Number generated?

Answer: The PNR number consists of 10 digits, where the first 3 digits specify the PRS (Passenger Reservation System) from which the ticket is booked. The first digit of the PNR number specifies that the zone of the train (starting station of the train) of the ticket. The following numbers belong to the below-mentioned zones respectively.

1 – Issued from the SCR zone (Secundarabad PRS)

2, 3 – Issued from NR, NCR, NWR, or NER zone (New Delhi PRS)

4, 5 – Issued from SR, SWR, or SCR zone (Chennai PRS)

6, 7 – Issued from NFR, ECR, ER, EcoR, SER or SECR zone (Kolkata PRS)

8, 9 – Issued from CR, WCR, or WR zone (Mumbai PRS)

The last 7 digits are randomly generated digits, only to make the PNR number unique.

Q7. Why do I get error messages while checking PNR?

Answer: There are three possible reasons why you’re getting the error message. You could have entered the wrong PNR number, the web servers might be down, or you may be checking the PNR between 11.30 PM and 12.30 AM when the Indian Railways servers are under maintenance.

Q8. What are the confirmation chances of my waitlisted ticket? Will it be confirmed?

Answer: Confirmation of the waitlisted tickets depends on the ticket demand on specific days. So it is quite difficult to assure the ticket confirmation. Additionally, you can know the confirmation chances of your waitlisted tickets with the help of Paytm’s PNR prediction feature. You can see it in percentages like 50%, 70%, and 45%. The higher the percentage, the more the confirmation probability.

Q9.  What is meant by “Chart not prepared” status?

Answer. The final booking chart would be prepared at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled departure of the train at the originating station. However, if the train is scheduled for departure at late night or early morning, the chart may be prepared as early as 4 hours before the scheduled departure.

Q10. Is there any chance of ticket confirmation after chart preparation?

Answer. Waitlisted tickets get confirmed only before the chart preparation. If your tickets remain waitlisted after the chart preparation, the booked tickets will not get confirmed. However, if there are vacant seats, you can talk to the TC and check if you can be allotted a seat.

Q11. What is the validity of Indian Railways PNR Number?

Answer. Your PNR number turns invalid after the completion of the journey.

Q12. How often should you check Train PNR Status updates?

Answer. If you are allotted a waitlisted train ticket, the status of the ticket keeps changing based on the cancellations on the confirmed tickets. Your ticket could move to a lower waiting list number or can also get confirmed. Since the change in the Train PNR status is recorded real-time, it is better to have the live PNR status checked for trains often.

Q13. Can we travel with only the PNR number?

Answer. Yes, passengers are allowed to travel without tickets, if the PNR status is confirmed. If you don’t have the ticket with you, approach the TC and give the details of your ticket along with your ID proof for verification.

Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has revealed that the phone will have a triple-camera setup on the back. The tipster claims that the S17 Pro will have a 50MP main camera with support for optical image stabilisation (OIS). Vivo is likely to use the Sony IMX766V sensor for the main camera.

The device is also likely to feature an 8MP ultra-wide camera. The tipster did not reveal any details about the camera sensor. Lastly, the S17 Pro will feature a 12MP Sony IMX663 portrait telephoto camera.

WhatsApp New Feature: Here’s how you can ‘keep’ Disappearing Messages/Conversations

0

HIGHLIGHTS

* WhatsApp has introduced a new ‘keep in chat’ feature.
* It allows users to save the important messages in chat for future recall even in the disappearing messages setting.
* It will be the sender’s discretion whether the messages can be saved for later or not.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new WhatsApp feature for users that will allow them to keep relevant messages saved in a chat, irrespective of having the disappearing messages setting turned on. The new feature is called ‘Keep in Chat’.

While the purpose of disappearing messages is to keep the conversations private as the chat disappears after a specific period of time, the ‘keep in chat’ feature allows users to save important messages that they might want to refer back to in future. WhatsApp’s idea behind it is that it is the sender’s choice if others can keep that chat for later or not.

To enable the new feature, the sender of the WhatsApp text will be alerted as and when someone keeps a message in the disappearing messages setting. Then it will be on the sender’s discretion to either allow the user to save it or to veto the decision. In case of negative, the messages sent by the user will get deleted once the timer expires.

WhatsApp New Feature

WhatsApp announced this feature via a tweet and mentioned “Some things are worth keeping.” Have a look.

If you’re in a WhatsApp group chat where the disappearing messages feature is turned on, there’s now a way to keep some important chats, like an address or voice note someone sends you.

WhatsApp’s “Keep in Chat “announced Friday, lets you bookmark messages sent to you, although veto power remains with the sender.

“Anyone in a disappearing message thread can long press on a message to keep it,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained in his Instagram broadcast channel. “The sender will be notified if it was saved and can decide if it stays or remains a disappearing message.” Disappearing messages is a privacy measure that was announced at the end of 2020.

Meta says it can also help declutter your phone and increase storage. It lets you set a timer for when messages in your WhatsApp chat will be deleted, with options for 24 hours, one week or 90 days.

Here’s how to turn on Disappearing Messages

  • Open your chat on WhatsApp.
  • Tap on the three vertical dots in the top right corner.
  • Select Disappearing messages.
  • Choose which message timer you want for when messages will automatically be deleted –24 hours, 7 days or 90 days.
  • Hit the back arrow in the top left corner.
  • Once it’s on, here’s how to save a message
  • Long press on the message you want to keep.
  • Tap the bookmark icon at the top of the screen, located next to the reply arrow.

The message sender will then be notified of your request to save that message, and will have the power to veto it.

WhatsApp New Feature

If you don’t see the option in your WhatsApp chats yet, it’s because Meta is rolling the capability out over the next few weeks.

Messages saved in WhatsApp will be put in a Kept Messages folder and organized by chat, the company said.

How will the ‘Keep in Chat’ feature look like?

The saved messages in the chat will be kept with a bookmark icon, and users will be able to access these messages in the Kept Messages folder. Zuckerberg, in the announcement, said, “We hope people enjoy this new update and the flexibility to keep the messages they need.” He added the feature will roll out globally over the next few weeks.

WhatsApp New Feature

In related news, the Meta-owned app is reportedly testing a new feature that will allow users to add new description to forwarded media files including forwarded videos, images, GIFs, and documents.

Faqs WhatsApp New Feature

1) WhatsApp’s new Keep in Chat feature allows users to save disappearing messages?

Ans) WhatsApp’s disappearing messages is a great privacy feature for users who want their messages to disappear after a set time. Now, the instant messaging service will allow the senders of disappearing messages to keep some of the texts they send in the chat even if the feature is turned on.

Earlier this year, it was reported that WhatsApp is testing such a “Kept Messages” feature, and now, the instant messaging service has made it official. With disappearing messages, conversations do not stitch around forever. This acts as a layer of protection for messages that you wouldn’t want falling into the wrong hands. But what if there is a message or voice note that you want to keep in the chat despite the feature being turned on? That is where the Keep in Chat feature comes in handy.

When someone in a group chat keeps a disappearing message, the sender of the message will be notified, and they will be able to veto the decision. If the sender decides that the message should not be kept by others, their decision is final. This would mean that no one can keep it, and the message will automatically be deleted when the timer expires, just like disappearing messages usually do.

If you save any disappearing messages, they will be labelled with a bookmark icon, and you can see them in the Kept Messages feature, organised by chat.
WhatsApp says that the new feature will be rolled out globally over the next few weeks.

2) How to Disable disappearing messages on

Ans) Android and iPhone

You can disable disappearing messages at any time. Once disabled, new messages sent in the chat will no longer disappear.

1. Open the WhatsApp chat.
2. Tap the contact’s name.
3. Tap Disappearing messages. If prompted, tap CONTINUE.
4. Select Off.

Similarly if you want to enable or disable Disappearing Messages in a group then you will have to open the WhatsApp group chat who’s messages you want to disappear.

3) What can I do if I’ve lost access to my WhatsApp account?

Ans) Chances are that a hacker has taken over your account. When this happens, you can’t log in, and all of your account information is in the hands of the hacker. Getting your account back can be complicated. Fortunately, you can still reclaim your WhatsApp account.

4) If I receive a text verification code from WhatsApp, does that mean someone is using my account?

Ans) One of the more notorious ways someone can gain access to your WhatsApp account is by obtaining the text verification code. If WhatsApp sends you a text verification code that you didn’t invoke, it’s best to ignore it. You may even receive multiple codes back to back. However, WhatsApp will only send so many verification codes within a specific period. Afterwards, the app will lock you out if you log out.

5) How many days does WhatsApp web stay logged in?

Ans) Your phone doesn’t need to stay online to use WhatsApp on linked devices, but your linked devices will be logged out if you don’t use your phone for over 14 days.

6) How far does WhatsApp web work?

Ans) Once a phone is paired with a computer, it will stay linked, even if both devices aren’t using the same internet connection or gasp, in the same place. There is no distance limitation.

7) Can someone read WhatsApp messages from another phone?

Ans) You just need to pair the Android device with another mobile. Suppose your child has enabled Notification permission for WhatsApp, you can read the incoming WhatsApp messages from the dashboard. Screen Mirroring can even help you see the live screen of the original device.

8) Can I Use Whatsapp Web Without A Phone?

Ans) No, you cannot use WhatsApp Web without a phone. Although it’s an online-only service, users still need an active phone with Internet connectivity to make WhatsApp Web work. A phone with an active Internet connection is needed for WhatsApp Web to work and to be able to send messages. This is to make use of WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption where messages are encrypted from the sender’s device and can only be decrypted by the intended receiver. Also, the messages are sent from the registered same phone number, which cannot be accessed with a working phone.

9) How To Download Whatsapp Web On My Computer?

Ans) You cannot download WhatsApp Web on your PC. It’s an online-only service, which can be accessed by visiting the link given above. You can also google WhatsApp Web.

10) How To Log In To Whatsapp Web?

Ans) WhatsApp Web login can be performed by simply pointing your phone that has the WhatsApp account configured to it, to the QR code shown on the web page. Follow these steps to log in to WhatsApp Web:

Open WhatsApp on your phone.
Open Settings and scroll down to WhatsApp Web.
The following screen will open the camera scanner. Now visit the following web address given above and scan the QR code on it.

Once done, the service will fetch your WhatsApp conversations and present it on your computer.

11) Can I Make A Video Call On Whatsapp Web?

Ans) No, it’s not possible to make a call using WhatsApp Web. You can still send voice messages using the web app on any Windows or Mac system. Simply press the microphone icon on the bottom right corner to record your message and send it. However, if you still want to make a call, you may use the WhatsApp app on your Android or iOS-based smartphone. You can also download the desktop app to make WhatsApp calls from your computer.

All that a taxpayer needs to do is visit the website and follow the instructions provided on the page. Alternatively, taxpayers can also link their Aadhaar with their PAN Card offline by visiting a PAN service centre or sending a request through the post.

It is important to note that the government has set a deadline for linking Aadhaar with PAN, and failure to do so can result in a penalty or consequences. The deadline, which was previously 31st March 2023 with the penalty, has been recently extended till 30th June 2023 with the penalty.

Thus, you must first pay the penalty of Rs.1,000 to link your Aadhaar with your PAN before 30 June 2023. When the PAN and Aadhaar cards are not linked before 30 June 2023, PAN cards will become inoperative from 1 July 2023.
