Jab Tak Hai Jaan nets Rs 12.50 cr on first day at box office

Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan netted around Rs 12.50 crore in its first day of release on Tuesday. Jab Tak Hai Jaan's first-day collections fall short of Ra.One's debut figures, a Shah Rukh Khan starrer which was released last year. 

The release of Son of Sardaar on the same day and the Diwali festivities might have hurt Jab Tak Hai Jaan's collections. 

Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, Jab Tak Hai Jaan performance at single screen theatres was weaker than at multiplexes. Jab Tak Hai Jaan's first-week collections are expected to be strong due to the extended weekend. 

The last directorial venture of Yash Chopra, the film has also brought together AR Rahman and Gulzar. Yash Chopra died last month, days after finishing the film. 

In comparison, Son of Sardaar pulled in around Rs 8.50 crore in its first day of release at the box office, according to early estimates.

Son of Sardaar managed to pull ahead of Jab Tak Hai Jaan in some circuits like Bihar and East of Punjab, according to early estimates.

iPad Mini: Review hands on

The BUILT:Lighter and thinner than we'd thought when watching the Keynote, the iPad Mini fits comfortably in one hand. It shows. The rounded edges are reminiscent of the widely loved iPhone 3G and it feels durable enough to sling in a bag.

It's 7.2mm thin (23% thinner than the big iPad) and 308g (Wi-Fi-only model) light. 

The SCREEN:
The LED-backlit screen looks fantastic on the 7.9-inch display. Colours are vivid, text is pin sharp, web pages render quickly and, because there's almost a 4:3 ratio going on, you get a lot of content on page.

The CAMERA:
The back-facing 5MP iSight camera is similar to what we've seen on bigger iPads. Taking pictures or video is easier with one hand, purely because of the Mini's size. In the wild, it's much more manageable than the iPad. Still shots that we took were ok, but 1080p video is more impressive.

iPad Mini Battery:
Apple claims 10-hours and we hope it's close. The third-gen iPad suffered because of the sheer amount of processing power happening and, for the iPad Mini to succeed as a mobile device, battery life will need to be close to what Apple is claiming

iPad Mini release date:

Pre-order starts: October 26.
Buy from 8am on November 2 (WiFi-only)
Wi-Fi + Cellular models available late November
 

iPad Mini price: From £269

The amazing iPhone 5:

Apple has quoted "Making a thinner, lighter iPhone meant even the display had to be thinner. Apple engineers accomplished that by creating the first Retina display with integrated touch technology. Which means instead of a separate layer of touch electrodes between display pixels, the pixels do double duty — acting as touch-sensing electrodes while displaying the image at the same time. With one less layer between you and what you see on iPhone 5, you experience more clarity than ever before. All on a display that’s 30 percent thinner than before."

The Apple iPhone 5 is finally here, with the latest arrival boasting a 16:9, 4-inch screen, new smaller port, thinner, lighter design and 4G LTE.

The iPhone 5's camera is smaller, hardier and enhanced by the more powerful chip, and the front-facing camera is bumped up to a 720p version. 

The device will be available in black and white. It will be available for $199, $299 and $399 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, respectively.

The iPhone 5 is a vast improvement over the iPhone 4S and it’s sure to be another great and reliable Apple product. However, it is no longer the most technologically advanced phone.
