I had purchased Teewe 2 Dongle from flipkart during Big Billion days for ₹999/-.
For your information Teewee is a HDMI dongle just like Google chromecast using which you can play the media stored on your phone/pc on your TV with HDMI. So i wasn't expecting much other than playing my media from the phone/pc.
