Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: There are cinematic universes that expand. Then there’s Tron — a digital realm that seems to crash every time it tries to reboot. Tron: Ares, Disney’s $200 million cyberpunk gamble and Jared Leto’s long-gestating passion project, finally powered up screens this October — and, unfortunately, short-circuited on impact.
The long-awaited sequel to Tron: Legacy (2010) was supposed to be Disney’s dazzling return to the Grid — a place where philosophy meets phosphor, where code becomes consciousness. Instead, it feels like a visual dissertation in search of a pulse. And yet, amidst the pixelated chaos, there’s something deeply fascinating — a sincerity that makes you root for it even when it’s falling apart.
Let’s rewind a bit. After years of development limbo, multiple script rewrites, and pandemic delays, Tron: Ares — directed by Joachim Rønning (of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil fame) — emerged as a sleek, meditative take on artificial intelligence and moral recursion. The film casts Jared Leto as Ares, a self-aware digital entity sent from the virtual Grid into the human world — essentially, a program trying to understand the fragility of its creator. Philosophically ambitious? Absolutely. Commercially bankable? Well… not so much.
A Visual Masterpiece in Search of Emotion
First things first — visually, Tron: Ares is intoxicating. The neon circuits, the glassy landscapes, the breathtaking rendering of cyberspace — it’s the kind of spectacle that screams “Oscar for Visual Effects” even as the story whispers, “Help me, I’m lost.”
Every frame feels meticulously designed by artists who worship the original Tron aesthetic but wanted to add existential poetry. The problem? Somewhere between the shaders and the soul-searching, the screenplay forgot that audiences need something to feel, not just admire.
Rønning, to his credit, stages the digital action with a painter’s eye. Motorcycles blaze through light corridors like brushstrokes of code; avatars duel with luminous discs that double as metaphors for ego and entropy. But when the lights dim and the dialogue starts, Tron: Ares begins to sound like a TED Talk hosted by Siri.
Jared Leto’s Electric Obsession
No one can accuse Jared Leto of phoning it in. The man reportedly lived, breathed, and maybe even meditated in binary for this role. He called Tron: Ares his “lifelong dream” — and in a way, that devotion shows. His Ares is strangely vulnerable beneath the digital perfection, his confusion at humanity’s contradictions both poignant and unintentionally comic.
But here’s the irony: Leto’s very intensity — that trademark method-actor gravitas — might be what short-circuits the film’s fun. In a franchise known for light bikes and luminous adrenaline, his performance often feels like it belongs in a cyberpunk Shakespeare adaptation.
As one critic quipped on Rotten Tomatoes, “Leto takes himself so seriously, you half expect him to deliver soliloquies about the ethics of algorithms.”
Still, there’s no denying that he’s magnetic to watch — even when the film around him feels lost in translation between the human and the digital.
The Box Office Numbers: Not Exactly Glowing
Here comes the part that even die-hard fans can’t spin into poetry: Tron: Ares has underperformed badly. Despite Disney’s massive global marketing push and a production budget exceeding $200 million, the film’s first five days in North America have been underwhelming — clocking in around $23 million, with a global tally barely brushing $60 million by its second weekend.
To put that in perspective, Koimoi noted that it’s on track to perform worse than other recent sci-fi disappointments like The Creator (2023). Industry insiders are whispering that the film could cost Disney nearly $100 million in losses unless streaming and international markets miraculously reboot its momentum.
Even PopRant went as far as to report that Disney is “considering shelving the Tron franchise for good,” a rumor that’s since sparked fan outrage across Reddit and X.
It’s a sobering reality: the movie that was supposed to resurrect a cult classic might now be its eulogy.
Ares vs. Reality: What the Movie Tries to Say
Underneath the flashing lights, Tron: Ares is really a story about creation and consequence — the classic Frankenstein dilemma, wrapped in a glossy digital shell. The plot follows Ares as he escapes into the real world, seeking to understand the chaos of his makers. What he finds is predictably ironic: a humanity that fears what it creates and worships what it destroys.
It’s clever in concept, yes, but narratively tangled. The screenplay tries to fuse spirituality, cyber ethics, and spectacle — resulting in a film that often feels too cerebral for mainstream audiences and too corporate for the art crowd.
Still, when it works, it really works. The scenes where Ares encounters rain, nature, or silence — moments where digital perfection meets organic imperfection — are hauntingly beautiful. You almost wish the entire movie were built around that quiet sense of awe, rather than explosions and exposition.
Critics Weigh In — and So Does the Internet
The Hollywood Reporter called it “an ambitious but emotionally inert return to the Grid,” noting that while Rønning’s direction “elevates the spectacle,” the story “feels trapped in its own circuitry.”
Over on 3DVF, industry insiders compared it to “a lesson in overproduction,” pointing out that the film’s VFX pipeline may have been its undoing — too many layers of visual ambition, not enough narrative grounding.
Social media, meanwhile, is torn. On one hand, there’s a vocal faction of Tron purists defending it as misunderstood art. On the other hand, memes about “Disney’s $200M screensaver” are trending faster than the film’s box office receipts.
Still, there’s admiration buried in the irony. Many agree that Tron: Ares is “a failure worth having” — a movie that dared to be different in an era of safe sequels.
PR Perspective: When Ambition Becomes a Brand
Disney’s post-release strategy has been interesting, to say the least. Rather than pretending the film didn’t stumble, insiders have leaned into its artistic ambition. One spokesperson described it as “a bold vision piece that challenges the conventional blockbuster formula.” Translation: We lost money, but it looks great on a showreel.
And maybe that’s fair. In a cinematic landscape flooded with formulaic superhero stories, Tron: Ares at least tried to be poetic. It aimed to merge philosophy and technology, emotion and algorithm — a marriage that, while messy, is oddly admirable.
Where Does This Leave the Franchise?
Rumors suggest that Tron: Ares might be the last trip to the Grid for a while. Disney, reportedly disappointed by early box office returns, is pausing future projects tied to the franchise. Yet the story isn’t over. On Netflix and Disney+, viewership data shows early surges in streaming interest — a hint that the film may find its tribe among digital nomads and late-night sci-fi romantics who prefer their cinema slow, stylish, and slightly broken.
As one Redditor put it best:
“Tron: Ares isn’t a blockbuster — it’s a visual poem that forgot its rhyme.”
Final Verdict — A Beautiful Glitch Worth Remembering
Tron: Aresis a contradiction: too artsy for mainstream, too mainstream for the artsy. It’s dazzling yet disjointed, brave yet bewildering. But it’s also one of the few modern blockbusters that remembers cinema can still be about ambition — not just algorithms.
Jared Leto might not have resurrected the Tron franchise, but he’s certainly made it impossible to ignore. The movie’s failures feel strangely noble — the kind of misfire that will, in time, be rediscovered by fans who appreciate its sincerity.
And maybe that’s the real beauty of Ares: even when the Grid flickers, the light still lingers.
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 16: Fourteen-year-old Ayesha* (name changed) had spent much of her young life battling scoliosis — a condition that caused her spine to twist and curve abnormally, leaving her in pain and robbing her of confidence. Her parents, unwilling to let their daughter’s dreams bend along with her spine, travelled all the way from Africa to Ahmedabad, seeking hope at Stavya Spine Hospital.
Their hope wasn’t misplaced. Under the care of spine specialists at Stavya Spine Hospital, Ayesha underwent robotic-assisted minimally invasive spine surgery, one of the most advanced procedures available in India. The robotic guidance system enabled surgeons to achieve exceptional precision in placement of screws — something that traditional surgery could not guarantee.
“When we operate on paediatric patients like Ayesha, we don’t just straighten the spine — we straighten the course of a life,” said Dr. Mirant Dave, reflecting on the young girl’s transformation.
Unlike conventional surgeries, this robotic procedure involved smaller incisions, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and negligible scarring — all crucial factors for a young patient. Within days, Ayesha’s posture improved dramatically. Her breathing became easier, and she was able to walk without discomfort for the first time in years.
Her parents, visibly moved, called Stavya “a place where technology and humanity meet.” For Ayesha’s family, affordability was another deciding factor. The advanced treatment they received in India cost a fraction of what it would have in the West — without any compromise on quality or technology.
Today, Ayesha stands tall and confident, preparing to return to school and to a life that once felt out of reach. Her case adds to Stavya Spine Hospital’s growing reputation as a global hub for advanced spine care and medical tourism, putting India at the forefront.
With robotic platforms such as Mesor X, open standing spine MRI facilities, and a team of globally trained surgeons, Stavya Spine Hospital is fast becoming a beacon of innovation in spinal healthcare.
Ayesha’s journey — from Africa to Ahmedabad — is not just about a surgery well done. It’s a story of courage, compassion, and cutting-edge science coming together to give a child her life back.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 16: Bengaluru Torpedoes outlasted the Calicut Heroes 20-18, 20-18, 7-15, 11-15, 15-12 in a five-set thriller at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in the ongoing RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia. Calicut’s Shameemudheen was honoured as Player of the Match for his resolute defensive performance.
Badminton star H.S. Prannoy was among the crowd enjoying the drama as Bengaluru snatched the first two sets before Calicut staged a superb fightback. In the end, Bengaluru’s composure under pressure earned them victory, while Calicut picked up their first league point.
The match opened with Sethu T.R. orchestrating Bengaluru’s attack with smart drop shots. Calicut stayed within striking distance, but Sethu’s booming super serve clinched the first set after intense exchanges.
In another deuce-heavy second set, Sivanesan’s serves put Calicut ahead before Jalen Penrose and Joel Benjamin swung momentum back. Benjamin’s final strike through a double block gave Bengaluru a two-set cushion.
Calicut refused to fade. Tharusha Chamath inspired the third-set recovery, with Vikas Maan ruling the net. Shameemudheen’s towering blocks and Santosh S.’s conversion of the super point gave Calicut a lifeline. They carried that rhythm into the fourth set, exploiting Bengaluru’s service lapses to level the match.
The final set saw end-to-end rallies. Joel and Jalen powered Bengaluru’s attack, while Tharusha and Shameemudheen kept Calicut alive. But in the tense closing moments, Jalen Penrose’s decisive spike sealed the Torpedoes’ victory, capping a memorable evening of high-intensity volleyball.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16:EVs will quickly become the means of transportation in the future. They are no longer a niche choice. As their fame grows, so does the need for insurance plans that meet their specific needs.
EVs have unique parts, more advanced technology, and higher fixed costs than regular cars. This means that insurance trends in 2025 will differ significantly from those in earlier years.
If you want to buy a new car insurance policy for your EV or change an old one, knowing these trends will help you make better choices and get better coverage.
Rise in Tailored EV Insurance Plans
Certain types of insurance plans are now available just for electric cars. These plans consider risks unique to EVs, such as having to repair the battery, damage to the charging equipment, and software problems.
Why is this important in 2025?
There are more EVs on the road, and standard auto insurance doesn’t cover everything anymore.
Policies now cover emergency aid specifically for electric vehicles, which includes help with charging your phone.
The battery cover is an important part that costs a lot to repair.
Choosing a comprehensive car insurance plan covering electric vehicles will protect the hardware and software.
Impact of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Some of the ADAS features that come with most new EVs are lane-keeping assist, adaptive speed control, and impact warning. Damage to these systems is expensive to fix, but they lower the number of accidents.
Important things to know in 2025:
For ADAS calibration, you need expert companies, which raises the cost of repairs.
Some insurance companies may lower the rates of cars with active safety features.
Claim evaluations sometimes use data from ADAS devices.
People looking for new car insurance for EVs will often find that plans that consider ADAS benefits offer better price rates.
Shift Towards Usage-Based Insurance (UBI)
With usage-based insurance, your rates are based on how far you drive, how often you use your car, and your driving habits. More and more EV users in 2025 like this trend.
Why UBI is good for EV drivers:
Lower rates for drivers who don’t put on many miles.
Data on how people drive supports safer habits.
To get exact tracking, connect to EV telematics platforms.
You can now choose to add UBI to a lot of different types of comprehensive car insurance. These make them more useful for EV drivers who only go short distances in cities.
Growing Importance of Battery Health Coverage
The most expensive part of an electric car is the battery. In 2025, more and more insurance plans will include battery health terms.
Keep an eye on these trends:
Comprehensive coverage for full replacements in the event of flaws in the quality or damage caused by an accident.
Cover some of the loss in value of older batteries.
To include coverage for damage that happens during charging or power spikes.
When buying new car insurance, ensure the contract clarifies how much it costs to repair the battery and how it depreciates.
Inclusion of Charging Infrastructure Protection
Public and home charging sites are now essential to owning an EV. Insurance companies are starting to understand how important it is to protect these things.
Features of coverage in 2025:
Damage caused by crashes, fires, or theft.
Protects home chargers from power surges.
Cover for liability in case of accidents at public charging points.
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) coverage is now an add-on to many comprehensive car insurance plans, giving drivers peace of mind for charging stations at home and work.
Regulatory Push for Green Vehicle Incentives
Tax breaks, grants, and green insurance programs are ways governments are trying to get people to buy EVs.
What does this mean for EV insurance?
Fewer third-party fees for cars that don’t emit any pollution.
Speed up the approval process for green-certified cars’ claims.
Insurance companies and EV makers can work together to offer group deals.
When you buy new car insurance from a company that supports green policies, you can often get better prices and extra benefits.
Rise in Repair Costs and Skilled Labour Demand
To fix an EV, you usually need special tools and experts who know how to work with high-voltage systems.
Why is this important in 2025?
The cost of labour to fix an EV is usually higher.
Repair times go up when there are fewer approved businesses.
For insurance reasons, OEM parts are more often used.
Because electric vehicle fixes can cost much more than petrol or diesel vehicle repairs, comprehensive car insurance is crucial.
Growing Demand for Cybersecurity Coverage
Cyber risks are now a real worry as EVs become more and more linked.
What’s different in 2025:
Policies that cover hacker efforts that stop vehicles from working.
Safety against stealing information from devices in cars.
Payment for being unable to work because of ransomware.
Cybersecurity may be offered as a standard feature of new car insurance for EVs or as an extra that can be purchased.
Integration of Renewable Energy Benefits in Policies
Some people who own EVs charge them with solar panels. Insurance companies are becoming aware of these eco-friendly actions.
Possible advantages:
Discounts on premiums for charging with green energy.
Coverage for solar equipment that is connected to charging electric vehicles.
There are special plans for families with more than one EV.

FAQs
Are electric car insurance costs higher than those for petrol or diesel cars?
Not all the time. Even though EVs can be more expensive to fix, many insurance companies offer discounts and other benefits, which help balance out the higher rates.
Can I move my insurance contract to an EV if I already have one?
Most insurance companies let you move your policy, but you might need to change the coverage to include parts unique to electric vehicles, like the battery and charging equipment.
Does EV insurance cover the loss of power as the battery ages?
Specific plans may cover accidental harm, manufacturing flaws, and performance-related failures, but most policies do not cover normal battery wear.
