      TFAPA's Ban on Reviewers Inside Theaters: A Bold Move to Save Cinema from Negative Hype!
      TFAPA's Ban on Reviewers Inside Theaters: A Bold Move to Save Cinema from Negative Hype!
      In the past, audiences used to watch movies firsthand to form an opinion. Gradually, word-of-mouth took precedence in shaping movie-going decisions. However, the scenario has drastically changed today with film media and YouTube channels shifting their focus on new releases, bringing review culture to the forefront. Immediately after a movie's release, several YouTube channels rush to theaters to gather audience reactions and post them on their channels. Consequently, movie lovers form opinions without actually seeing the film, largely influenced by negative reviews on these channels. Producers' Response: No Entry to Theaters for Reviewers Observing the significant impact of YouTube and netizen reviews on movie outcomes, the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) has decided to take a pivotal step to regulate these reviews. They have issued a directive to cinema hall owners not to allow media inside theaters, highlighting how negative reviews have severely impacted films like 'Indian 2', 'Kanguva', and 'Vettaiyan'. The growing issue in the film industry needs a united front from all associations to counteract this challenge, as stated by TFAPA. They specifically requested that theaters should not facilitate public reviews during the first show on release day. https://twitter.com/sekartweets/status/1859087661245624343 Addressing Personal Attacks Recently, some YouTube channels have targeted actors under the guise of reviews, critiquing their performance inappropriately, leading to personal attacks. TFAPA has responded to these instances, condemning the personal criticisms aimed at actors, directors, and producers. They have warned that such behavior will not be tolerated and have urged these channels to change their approach to reviews. Is There a Need for Similar Action in Tollywood? The issues highlighted by the Tamil producers are also prevalent in Tollywood, with many YouTube channels based in Hyderabad flocking to theaters like Prasad's IMAX during star movie releases. These channels often highlight sensational comments for fame, overshadowing genuine audience reviews. The presence of fans and anti-fans at first shows amplifies negative opinions, persuading the general audience to avoid theaters and wait for OTT releases instead. Film analysts suggest that Tollywood bigwigs might consider similar measures as their Tamil counterparts. https://twitter.com/pakkatelugunewz/status/1859143090378076253 Will the Measures Be Effective? While the TFAPA's decision to restrict YouTube channels from theaters is commendable, its practical effectiveness remains questionable. Controlling YouTube channels is challenging; even national leaders face trolling. Even if access inside theaters is denied, reviewers can still gather public opinions outside, where those eager for visibility will likely speak up. The effectiveness of TFAPA's recommendations remains to be seen.

      Mahesh Babu’s Viral Video from Maldives: A Glimpse into the Superstar's Introverted Side Sparks Memes and Reactions!
      It's well-known that superstar Mahesh Babu recently attended a businessman's birthday celebration in the Maldives. Alongside Mahesh Babu, notable Tollywood figures such as Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Akhil, and Venkatesh were present. A photo from these celebrations quickly went viral on social media. Recently, more photos surfaced, and one particular video involving Mahesh Babu has become a major target for trolling. Let's find out why. Is Mahesh Babu That Much of an Introvert? Superstar Mahesh Babu is known to be an introvert. He speaks very little at movie functions, often keeping his remarks brief, even at his own movie events. The recently viral video has once again highlighted how introverted he is. In the video, while Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh are fully enjoying the birthday boy's company, Mahesh Babu stands slightly apart, silently by himself. While everyone else is enjoying themselves, Mahesh simply stands aside, posing for the photo. This video going viral has led netizens to laugh and comment, asking if Mahesh is really that much of an introvert. https://twitter.com/i/status/1856609040123441371 Mahesh Babu as Memers' Stuff! However, the introvert community has embraced Mahesh Babu's latest video. Welcoming him to the introverts' community, posts are being shared online. Moreover, the video is being edited in various ways and used as material for memes. Introverts are posting, "Mahesh Babu... just like me," indicating that they too behave similarly when attending family functions. However, Mahesh's fans are countering these trolls in their unique way, asserting, "A full moon on one side... stars on the other," and claim that being distinctive among many is typical for their hero. https://twitter.com/Sampath01266745/status/1856890678778773683 https://twitter.com/ursbhargav_1/status/1856738857888473213 https://twitter.com/Memuchalabusy_2/status/1856590047505723771 For Dhanush, from Mahesh... The latest film directed by Tollywood's sensible director Sekhar Kammula is 'Kubera,' starring Tamil star hero Dhanush with a key role played by Tollywood king Nagarjuna. On the occasion of Karthika Pournami tomorrow (November 15), a glimpse of 'Kubera' will be released, officially announced by the makers to be launched by superstar Mahesh Babu himself. A special poster has also been released in this regard. Sources say the scenes involving Dhanush and Nagarjuna in this movie are set to be quite diverse. The music for the film is being composed by rockstar Devi Sri, and the movie is expected to release next year. https://twitter.com/SVCLLP/status/1856645705110298753 Mahesh Babu's Latest Look is Stunning! More photos related to Mahesh Babu from the businessman's birthday function have gone viral online. Mahesh and his wife took photos with the birthday-celebrating businessman's couples. In these photos, Mahesh's look is captivating. Previously, Mahesh appeared with a full beard and long hair. In the latest photos, however, his hair is cut short, and he has trimmed his beard, sporting a completely ringleted hairstyle. Seeing this, fans speculate whether Mahesh will appear this way in an upcoming Rajamouli movie, awaiting an official announcement. https://twitter.com/Nikhil_Prince01/status/1856562711074636174 Varanasi Set in Hyderabad! Exciting news is circulating online about the upcoming film by Rajamouli featuring Mahesh Babu (SSMB29). The film's story reportedly starts in Varanasi, and there's strong buzz that it will later shift to South Africa. The Varanasi schedule is planned to be completely shot in a set, for which a massive Kashi set is being built on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The film, taking place in a forest setting, has led to the team scouting for suitable locations. Once the location is finalized, construction of the set will commence, as per film industry sources.

      Pushpa 2’s New Sensation: Sreeleela Replaces Samantha for Iconic Item Song Amidst Remuneration Debate!
      Pushpa 2’s New Sensation: Sreeleela Replaces Samantha for Iconic Item Song Amidst Remuneration Debate!
      Icon star Allu Arjun and creative director Sukumar's 'Pushpa' was a massive hit, with no need for special mention. Particularly, the item song 'Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava' performed by Samantha became a sensation across the country. In this backdrop, Sukumar has set up a similar item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) for the currently filming 'Pushpa 2'. This time, replacing Samantha, Sreeleela is performing this special song. Recently, photos of Sreeleela from the song shoot set have also surfaced. Alongside this, a piece of news regarding Sreeleela’s remuneration has come out, sparking debates about injustice done to her. What’s Sreeleela’s Remuneration? The film 'Pushpa 2', formed from the Allu Arjun - Sukumar combo, is set to release worldwide on December 5. The prominent production company, Mythri Movie Makers, is producing this film with an approximate budget of Rs. 500 crores, sparing no expense. In this process, it is rumored online that the heroine Sreeleela, who performed in the item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song), has been paid a hefty sum. It’s talked within film circles that she received Rs. 2 crores remuneration for this song, known as 'Kissik'. The total cost including the set and heroine's remuneration is estimated to be around Rs. 5 crores. Injustice Compared to Samantha! In the 'Pushpa' film released in 2021, Samantha performed an item song and reportedly received a remuneration of Rs. 5 crores at that time. However, the fact that Sreeleela has been given only Rs. 2 crores for the recent item song has her fans upset, posting on social media about the perceived unfairness. They express dissatisfaction that she hasn’t even been given half of what was paid to Samantha, questioning what less Sreeleela has. Yet, film circles refute this, stating no injustice has been done to Sreeleela. Reports suggest that while Sreeleela earns around Rs. 4-5 crores for a three-hour movie, she’s being paid Rs. 2 crores for just a three-minute song in 'Pushpa 2', arguing that she’s actually receiving more than her market value. Sreeleela.. Bunny’s Choice! The decision to choose Sreeleela for the Pushpa 2 item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) wasn’t just director Sukumar's idea but also came from Icon star Allu Arjun, sources reveal. Bunny had previously worked with Sreeleela on an ad for the prominent OTT platform 'Aha', where their chemistry was well-received on social media. Also, among the current generation of actresses, Sreeleela is acclaimed as one of the best dancers. Considering all these, it’s said that Bunny showed a particular fondness for featuring Sreeleela. Earlier, Bollywood star heroines like Shraddha Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tripti Dimri were considered for this item song. Trailer Release in Patna The movie 'Pushpa The Rule' (Pushpa 2 Trailer), eagerly awaited by cinephiles both in India and abroad, is nearing its release. With this, the movie team has given a smashing update about the trailer release. Recently announced, the trailer is set to be released in Patna on the evening of November 17 at 6:03 PM. A new poster featuring Bunny, looking aggressive with a gun over his shoulder, has also been released, much to the delight of movie lovers. With the release of the Pushpa 2 trailer, a buzz on social media is assured. https://twitter.com/PushpaMovie/status/1855922382181134676

      Pushpa 2 Leak: Allu Arjun & Sreeleela’s Item Song Sparks Fan Debate Ahead of December Release
      Pushpa 2 Leak: Allu Arjun & Sreeleela’s Item Song Sparks Fan Debate Ahead of December Release
      Icon star Allu Arjun and creative director Sukumar's collaboration for 'Pushpa' was a massive hit, well-known without the need for specific mention. Notably, Samantha's item song "Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava" became a national sensation. In this context, the currently filming 'Pushpa 2' includes a similar item song orchestrated by Sukumar. This time, Sreeleela is performing the special song instead of Samantha. Recently, as the song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) began shooting, a photo from the set was leaked, causing fans to purse their lips in disappointment. Let's explore the reasons behind this reaction. Bunny and Sreeleela's Pic Leak! The pan-Indian film 'Pushpa 2', starring Allu Arjun, is set to hit theaters on December 5. Currently, the filming of the item song (Pushpa 2 Item Song) is underway. News has surfaced that the special song featuring Bunny and Sreeleela is being filmed. During this process, a related picture has appeared online and is going viral. In it, Allu Arjun is seen in a red outfit, and Sreeleela captivates in a black dress, showcasing her glamorous makeover for the song titled "Kissick." The film team has already announced that this item song aims to surpass the "Oo Antava" song, yet no official statement has been made about the leaked photo. https://twitter.com/iajayyo/status/1854906275198648659 Netizens Disappointed! https://twitter.com/TheSouthCensor/status/1854920269967901060 https://twitter.com/ihsan21792/status/1855090800230584801 Dance Must Be Spectacular! Despite the concerns about Sreeleela's looks in the 'Pushpa 2' item song, her dance performance is expected to be spectacular. It's no exaggeration to say that among current actresses, few can match Sreeleela's dancing skills. She has garnered more fans for her dance than her acting, as seen in her phenomenal performances in songs like the "Pulsar Bike" song from 'Dhamaka' and recently, "Kurchini Madathapetti" with Mahesh Babu. With such talented dancing from Sreeleela, when paired with Bunny, known for his own dance prowess, the item song is bound to be exceptional. 5,000 Screens Overseas 'Pushpa 2' is expected to release in over 10,000 theaters worldwide, with about 6,500 screens in India alone. Overseas, the film is set to premiere on 5,000 screens, which would make it one of the most widely released films in the history of the Indian film industry.

The film will premiere overseas on December 4 and across India on December 5.

      Inside Nayanthara's Journey: Netflix's 'Beyond the Fairy Tale' Unveils the Life of India's Lady Superstar
      Tamil cinema's prominent actress Nayanthara has earned her place as the "Lady Superstar." Known across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, she has garnered a Pan-India fan base. Recently, news emerged that a documentary based on her life, titled Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, is in the works. Netflix recently released the trailer, where Nayanthara shared several interesting insights about her life and career. Praise from Nagarjuna and Rana Netflix’s documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale, offers a glimpse into Nayanthara's personal and professional journey. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gautham Menon, it’s set to start streaming on November 18. The trailer released by Netflix features various actors sharing their admiration for Nayanthara. Nagarjuna mentioned the challenges she has faced in her life, while Rana acknowledged her title as "Lady Superstar." Kannada actor Upendra, Tamil actress Radhika, and director Atlee shared their memories and relationship with Nayanthara, adding warmth to the trailer. https://twitter.com/NetflixIndia/status/1855121339474120928 An Emotional Lady Superstar Nayanthara’s husband, director Vignesh, shared how their love story began. Nayanthara, too, spoke about critical phases of her life, saying she has often trusted people too quickly. She addressed past rumors, like the one claiming her last film would be Sri Rama Rajyam, and others that unfairly commented on her appearance. Recalling how these stories frightened her mother, Nayanthara was moved to tears. Nayanthara's mother also expressed her unwavering faith in her daughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Bub3nu0vo Veiled Digs at Simbu and Prabhu Deva? Before her marriage to Vignesh, Nayanthara was in relationships with Simbu and Prabhu Deva. Her romance with Simbu blossomed during Vallabha, as widely reported at the time. Later, she was romantically linked with the award-winning choreographer Prabhu Deva, and they were often seen together, sparking rumors about marriage. However, both relationships ended. During the shooting of Nenu Rowdy Ne, she met Vignesh, which led to love and, eventually, marriage. In the latest documentary trailer, Nayanthara’s comment about "trusting people too quickly" is widely believed by fans to hint at Simbu and Prabhu Deva. It remains to be seen if the full documentary will delve into these past relationships. Nayanthara in Full Swing Nayanthara’s film career is currently thriving. Last year, she entered the ₹1000 crore club with Jawan, starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The same year, she captivated audiences in the female-oriented film Annapoorani.

All these projects are in production and are expected to release later this year and next. In 2022, she married director Vignesh in a family ceremony, and the couple now has two sons through surrogacy.

      HBD Anushka Shetty: Her Unexpected Crush Will Surprise You – It’s Not Who You Think!
      HBD Anushka Shetty: Her Unexpected Crush Will Surprise You – It’s Not Who You Think!
      Is there a heroine in the South who has earned the kind of craze that heroes have? Yes, Anushka Shetty comes to mind immediately. Anushka has made a name for herself in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam industries by acting alongside leading heroes and excelling in lady-oriented films. Today is Anushka's birthday, stepping into her 43rd year. Let's explore some interesting aspects of her career. Anushka, hailing from a prominent Tulu family, never thought she would become an actress. It was circumstances that led her into acting, she says. Anushka graduated from Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, which is also the alma mater of star heroines like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Mamta Mohandas. During her college days, Anushka attended a meditation workshop called 'Tapasya' even though she wasn’t particularly interested in it; she went because her father, Vittal Shetty, attended it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Anushka Shetty was trained in yoga by her mentor Bharat Thakur, and later chose to make it her profession. She even conducted yoga sessions in Mumbai for a while. While she was busy as a yoga teacher, Anushka seized the opportunity to act in the Tollywood film 'Super' directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring King Akkineni Nagarjuna. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Interestingly, Anushka Shetty’s real name is Sweety. She felt uncomfortable when everyone on the set of 'Super' called her Sweety. Thus, she decided to change her name to Anushka Shetty, which required waiting for a year for her family's approval. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial) Anushka Shetty is one of the tallest actresses in Tollywood, standing at 5 feet 9 inches. When she speaks on stage, some of our heroes appear shorter than her. Whenever Anushka is stressed about something, she engages in an interesting activity to overcome it. She reads her favorite proverbs, which she claims helps her relax immediately, she revealed in an interview. Anushka Shetty is very punctual and takes her meals on time, which she says greatly benefits her health. She completes her dinner by 8 PM, which helps her sleep well. She also starts her day with yoga before 7 AM, Sweety revealed her secret. This yoga beauty, Anushka, enjoys writing poetry in English and has a habit of collecting newspapers related to environmental issues. Before the movie 'Size Zero,' Anushka was quite slim, but she gained a lot of weight for the role. She has been trying to lose weight since, but the effects still linger. Unlike most heroines who have a crush on heroes, Anushka Shetty's first crush was cricketer Rahul Dravid, she revealed in an interview. Sweety has been a fan of Rahul Dravid even before she entered films but lamented that she never really got to meet him. 'Arundhati' was a turning point in Anushka's film career. Its success established her as a leading heroine in Tollywood. Following that, she starred in hit films like 'Rudhramadevi,' 'Baahubali,' 'Baahubali 2,' and 'Bhaagamathie,' which enhanced her fame. Anushka revealed in an interview that the offer for 'Arundhati' did not come directly to her. It was only after another actress rejected it that it came her way, though she didn't reveal who the actress was. Many might not know, but Anushka has released a book with her fitness secrets. 'The Magic Weight Loss Pill' by Luke Coutinho features 62 health tips and weight loss techniques Anushka swears by. Currently, under the direction of Krish, Anushka is filming for 'Ghaati.' In celebration of her birthday today, the first look poster was released this morning, showing Sweety with blood on her hand and head, smoking a cigar. At 4:05 PM, the movie team also released a special glimpse of 'Ghaati,' showcasing Anushka in a fierce mass elevation scene, chopping off someone's peak with a machete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5FkYULk3Ls

Prasanth Varma is planning to bring this movie to the sets from December. Since both the hero and heroine are newcomers, it will be interesting to see how Prasanth manages them. Villain Role by Rana! Buzz is circulating about the villain's role in Mokshagna - Prasanth Varma's project. It is being considered to cast Rana Daggubati as the antagonist, believing that only he can do justice to the cruel villain character. Discussions are reportedly also underway with Rana. Pre-production work for the movie has been completed, and shooting is officially planned to start on December 2. Prasanth Varma plans to start regular shooting on that day, with M. Tejaswini, Balakrishna’s daughter, acting as the presenter. Balakrishna in a Special Role! In the upcoming film of Mokshagna - Prasanth Varma combo, Nandamuri Balakrishna is rumored to appear in a special role. Like 'Hanuman', this film is said to include superhero and mythological elements, with Balakrishna possibly entering as Lord Krishna, adding a twist to the story. There is also speculation that he might appear as Arjuna. Prasanth Varma's team needs to provide clarity on this. Fans believe that if Balakrishna acts in his son's debut film, it will add a unique thrill. This movie is expected to remain a memorable one for Nandamuri fans. Maha Kali Project It is known that Mokshagna's film comes from Prasanth Varma’s cinematic universe. Recently, Prasanth Varma announced another movie from his universe titled 'Maha Kali.' At the announcement of the Maha Kali project, director Prasanth Varma made intriguing comments: "A new power joins our universe. Goddess Kali will embody the battle against profound evil. We will showcase what real superheroes look like in this film." However, Prasanth Varma will not direct this film; it will be directed by female director Pooja Aparna Kolluru.

      EXCLUSIVE: Timeless Supporting Roles in Tollywood: Take a Look!
      In films, the hero and heroine often dominate the spotlight, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Occasionally, a villain's remarkable performance can also garner significant attention. However, there are instances where supporting characters, regardless of their popularity, etch a permanent mark on the minds of viewers. These characters manage to hold the audience's attention throughout their screen presence. [toc] Sathyaraj (Baahubali) In 'Baahubali', following the roles of Prabhas and Rana, the character that stands out most is Kattappa. Director Rajamouli skillfully shaped this role, making it integral to the film. Imagining 'Baahubali' without Kattappa is difficult. Veteran actor Sathyaraj embodied this character completely, providing a memorable performance. Prakash Raj (Athadu) In 'Athadu', a standout film in Mahesh Babu's career, Prakash Raj's role as a CBI officer is particularly memorable following Mahesh Babu's performance. His delivery of dialogues and expressions during the investigation scenes captivated audiences, adding a compelling layer to the film. https://youtu.be/Kk93JgAM7wA?si=5saRnFWzIEeDf3fR Sukumari (Murari) In 'Murari', directed by Krishna Vamsi and starring Mahesh Babu, the film particularly resonated with family audiences. Senior actress Sukumari, playing the role of Sabari, left a strong impression on everyone. Her portrayal, filled with anxiety over the ominous predictions in Mahesh's horoscope, made a significant impact. Her ultimate sacrifice for the hero towards the film's conclusion deeply moved the audience. https://youtu.be/3GrsswRGUaA?si=TgwJ6hZRa0rtRu18 Srikanth (Shankar Dada MBBS) 'Shankar Dada MBBS', featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi, was a major hit when it was released. In this film, the character 'ATM', portrayed by senior actor Srikanth, was crucial. He excellently played Chiru's right-hand man, injecting humor into his scenes at just the right moments. Srikanth reprised this role with equal flair in the sequel, 'Shankar Dada Zindabad'. https://youtu.be/QHdvEYMIOao?si=K5wkBfT-Y1gUFlZ3 Rajendra Prasad (Aa Naluguru) 'Aa Naluguru' effectively demonstrated that money isn't the sole source of happiness. In the film, senior actor Rajendra Prasad portrayed Raghu Ramayya, a newspaper editor known for his strong ethical principles and consistent just actions, regardless of personal hardships. His performance was profound, showing his deep commitment to the character. https://youtu.be/AYZjTMg2EbM?si=iOSHIruH84KVRJ-0 Srihari (Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana) In the film 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' directed by dance master Prabhu Deva, featuring Siddharth and Trisha, actor Srihari played a significant role as the heroine's brother. His portrayal set a benchmark for how a brother should be, making his character memorable. In the climax, he poignantly takes the blame for a murder committed by the hero and sacrifices his freedom by going to jail, resonating deeply with the audience. https://youtu.be/WNCwQvHa1w4?si=f2K-X2pSMJSzfQtd Gollapudi Maruti Rao (Leader) In the film 'Leader', veteran actor Gollapudi Maruti Rao delivered a standout cameo performance as a senior politician. His scenes with the hero Rana, involving dialogues that mirrored real-life political scenarios, were particularly impactful. Check out that scene for a glimpse of his compelling performance. https://youtu.be/AjLNxJCU1Cs?si=nNVLqa_4N5Md1O8y Abhinav Gomatam (Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi) Abhinav Gomatam quickly made a name for himself among comic actors.

      Infinix XE27 TWS Earbuds Review: Budget-Friendly ANC and Bass-Heavy Sound—Worth the Price?
      Infinix XE27 TWS Earbuds Review: Budget-Friendly ANC and Bass-Heavy Sound—Worth the Price?
      Infinix has gained recognition for budget-friendly smartphones and has now stepped into the audio segment with the launch of Infinix XE27 TWS earbuds. Priced at ₹2,000, these earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), and a low-latency gaming mode. But do these features justify the price? Let’s find out in this YouSay review. Design and Features The Infinix XE27 TWS earbuds come with a simple design and lightweight plastic construction. The charging case is available in Royal Blue and Imperial White, featuring a glossy finish that easily attracts fingerprints and scratches. We noticed scratches on the case within a few days during our review. Overall, the case is well-built, but the plastic quality feels average compared to the more robust construction of competitors like the Redmi Buds 5C. The earbuds come with additional ear tips for a comfortable fit and are IPX4 rated, offering protection against sweat and light rain. However, the touch controls felt somewhat stiff, and the lack of an app to customize these controls was a drawback. Sound Quality The sound quality of the Infinix XE27 earbuds was decent. With 10mm dynamic drivers, these buds deliver a bass-heavy sound. However, the emphasis on bass made it challenging during calls. The absence of an app to enhance sound quality was also a significant downside. While it's great to have ANC at this price point, it didn’t perform up to expectations. The ANC feature did not make a considerable difference in high-noise environments, and the transparency mode was also ineffective. Call Quality Call quality was generally acceptable, but voices could sound muffled in some situations. External noise levels often made it difficult for others to hear clearly. Battery Life The Infinix XE27 TWS buds showed good battery performance. With ANC activated, they provided up to 4.5 hours of playback, and the charging case could extend the total battery life to 26-28 hours. A quick 10-minute charge offered an hour of playback, which is very convenient during travels. The Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity was reliable. Should You Buy the Infinix XE27 TWS? While these earbuds are budget-friendly and come with ANC and bass-heavy sound, there are several drawbacks, including build quality, sound clarity, and ANC performance. Alternatives like the Redmi Buds 5C might offer better build quality and sound customization through an app. Pros: - Affordable price - Bass-heavy sound, suitable for bass lovers - IPX4 rating, dust and water resistance - Long battery life, fast charging Cons: - Glossy plastic case prone to fingerprints and scratches - Inferior quality compared to other earbuds - ANC not up to par - Poor call quality in noisy environments - No dedicated app for sound customization
