Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 2: Singer, lyricist and composer Anupam Shukla has released her latest music video, ‘Kaali Raat’, on October 31, coinciding with Halloween. The project has been produced under the banner of Anupam’s Films & Production and was launched at a media event at IMPPA, Andheri West, Mumbai.

‘Kaali Raat’ is based on the themes of love, betrayal and the awakening of a vampire princess. The music video features a gothic setting and supernatural elements, with its release timed to coincide with Halloween.

Anupam Shukla, who is credited as the lyricist, singer and composer of the project, has been involved in multiple aspects of the production. The music has been created by Addy Ahmed and Nazran Beats, while Nishant and Shubham Yadav have handled the mixing and mastering.

The video has been directed by Black Eye Films. Amit Mehta and Sushil Prajapati have worked on the editing, while Clipcraft and Karma Singh have handled the art direction. Raj Kali and Bablu have been credited for choreography, and Arti Shrivastava has managed the styling.

The production involved several technical and logistical challenges during filming and post-production. According to Anupam, the team faced audio-related issues during recording and a camera malfunction on the day of the shoot, which required an alternative camera to be arranged.

The shoot began at 7 am and continued until midnight. The editing process also took longer than anticipated, with three editors working on different stages of the project. The audio work involved coordination between Delhi, Punjab and Mumbai. The final DI (Digital Intermediate) work was completed a day before the release.

Speaking about the project, Anupam Shukla said, “We faced several challenges during the making of Kaali Raat, from technical problems during the shoot to difficulties in editing and post-production. I am happy that the project is finally complete and releasing today. This is an important milestone for me and my team.”

Anupam Shukla has worked across modelling, acting, fashion and event management. She was previously crowned Ms India Curvy and has also been associated with organising beauty pageants and fashion events through her production and event management company.

In 2020, she announced the FACE 2020-21 Mr and Miss Madhya Pradesh contest under Anupam Films & Production, as part of her efforts to create opportunities for young talent in the fashion and entertainment industry.

New Delhi [India], October 30: Political commentator Tehseen Poonawalla has emerged as the biggest talking point of Rise & Fall Season 2 after his wild-card entry into the Tower, where his brother Shehzad Poonawalla is already a contestant.

Host Virender Sehwag set the stage with, “Aap ek Poonawalla ko jhel nahi paa rahe the, main do karne wala hoon.” Tehseen wasted no time, taking a dig at his brother: “Shehzad kabhi bhi chup nahi hota hai, mere aane se yeh silent ho gaya.” When told only one Poonawalla could win, he shot back, “Aur woh Poonawalla main hoon.”

As a panelist, Tehseen was excellent. Sharp, witty and fearless, his blunt verdicts on the Tower’s power games, including a pointed reminder to Priyanka Chahar Choudhary that not everything revolves around her, became the highlight of the episode. Within hours, clips of his remarks went viral across Instagram, X and YouTube.

The buzz comes at a time when Bigg Boss 20 is reportedly witnessing a sharp dip in viewership, with a section of fans attributing it to contestant Qazi Touqeer’s reduced screen time. Many viewers online say Tehseen’s entry has given Rise & Fall 2 exactly the kind of high-voltage drama Bigg Boss is missing this season.

No stranger to reality TV, Tehseen was earlier seen in Bigg Boss 13. After his entry, he wrote on social media, “Whoever wins, a Poonawalla will always Rise & no one, no one should Fall!”

1. The Gun-and-Guitar Contrast Signals a Genre-Blending Story

The most visually striking element is the deliberate contrast between the objects the leads hold. Ahaan Panday grips a handgun in a bloodied hand, while Sharvari holds a guitar. Their bodies lean toward each other, foreheads nearly touching, yet the props create an immediate tension between violence and music. This is not a standard romantic still. The gun suggests a world of conflict, danger, and high-stakes decisions for Ahaan’s character. The guitar points to creativity, emotion, and possibly a musical thread in Sharvari’s role. Together they promise a narrative that refuses to stay in one lane—romance charged with action, and action softened by melody and feeling. The tagline “Fearless in Love” reinforces the idea that the couple’s bond will defy ordinary limits and external threats.

Fearless in love… #Beparwah in cinemas on 26th March 2027. https://t.co/3WJeBoXgxg

— Yash Raj Films (@yrf) October 26, 2026

2. Hidden Faces and Visible Injuries Build Mystery and Character Depth

Neither actor’s face is fully visible. A strong backlight from the sun obscures their features, keeping the exact looks of their characters under wraps. At the same time, careful details remain readable. Ahaan’s leather jacket shows bloodstains, his hand is marked, and faint injuries appear on the side of his face. These are not glamorous action-hero touches; they suggest a character who has already paid a physical price. The choice to hide faces while revealing damage creates curiosity about who these people are and what they have endured. It also shifts focus onto body language—the protective lean, the shared stillness, the quiet intensity between them. Viewers are invited to imagine the story rather than simply recognise familiar star images.

3. The Piercing Light and Voiceover Deepen the Emotional Stakes

A bright shaft of sunlight cuts between the two figures, turning the intimate pose into something almost mythical. The light both unites and separates them, adding a cinematic weight that elevates the image beyond a simple couple shot. Accompanying the poster is a short voiceover from Ahaan: “Beparwah hai ishq, kya karoon? Beparwah beimtehaan karoon. Darmiyaan koi bhi aaye, sab tabaah, tabaah karoon.” The lines translate roughly to a declaration that love is carefree and limitless, and that anyone who comes between them will face destruction. The word “beparwah” itself means carefree or fearless, and the dialogue turns the title into a personal credo. This is not soft romance; it is love prepared to burn everything in its path.

The Bigger Picture Behind the Poster

Beparwah marks Ahaan Panday’s first major project after the blockbuster success of Saiyaara. It also pairs him for the first time with Sharvari, whose recent work includes Alpha. Ali Abbas Zafar returns to Yash Raj Films after earlier collaborations such as Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai. Bobby Deol and Aaishvary Thackeray are part of the supporting cast, with reports indicating complex, grey-shaded roles rather than one-dimensional villains. Much of the film was shot in the United Kingdom, signalling the large-scale ambition typical of Zafar’s work.

The poster succeeds because it refuses easy answers. It teases romance without revealing chemistry in the conventional sense. It promises action without showing a single fight. It suggests music without a song. By keeping faces hidden, injuries visible, and props symbolic, the makers have given audiences three strong reasons to stay curious until March 2027.

FAQ

What is the release date of Beparwah?
Beparwah is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on March 26, 2027.

Who directed Beparwah?
The film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films.

Who are the lead actors in Beparwah?
Ahaan Panday and Sharvari play the lead roles. Bobby Deol and Aaishvary Thackeray are also part of the cast.

What does the Beparwah poster show?
The poster shows Ahaan holding a gun with a bloodied hand and Sharvari holding a guitar, their faces largely hidden by sunlight as they lean toward each other.

Is Beparwah a romantic film or an action film?
It is officially described as a romantic action-drama that blends intense love with high-stakes conflict.

Rare Gujarati Folk Dance Comes Alive: Film ‘Amba’ Releases New Song ‘Tippani Raas’

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 26: Known for creating a distinct identity in Gujarati cinema, Vijaygiri FilmOs and NeemTree Entertainment have recently released the second new song, ‘Tippani Raas’, from their highly anticipated upcoming film ‘Amba’. Generally, a dance video is released first followed by a lyrical video, but Vijaygiri FilmOs is known for doing things differently every time. True to their style, they have released the lyrical video of the song first. While the video features Reeva Rachh alongside supporting artists, the final choreography and the true essence of the Tippani Raas will only be revealed when audiences watch the film in theaters. Alongside Reeva Rachh, the song also features Riddhi Dangar, Jhankhana Soni Patel, Charmi Kelaiya, and Shweta Patel. The film portrays the rich culture of the Gir region, glimpses of its traditional settlements (nehdas), and the unique emotional bond between the local people of Gir and lions.

• Song Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCTtnp2_Ltg

The soul-stirring music of this song has been composed by the renowned musical duo Kedar-Bhargav, with lyrics penned by Bhargav Purohit. The song has been collectively voiced by Vrattini Purohit, Lipika Nag, Stuti Karni, Surbhi, Radhika, Kavya, Palak, and Anjali. To bring authenticity to this traditional art form, director Vijaygiri Bava handpicked locals from the Gir region itself, and local choreographer Krupa Dangar—who has been working on Tippani Raas for years—was chosen for the choreography.

Discussing the film’s creative team, it has been directed by Vijaygiri Bava, produced by Bhoomi Nathwani, and co-produced by Twinkle Vijaygiri. The original story has been written by Vijaygiri Bava, with dialogues by Raam Mori, and the screenplay co-crafted by Vijaygiri Bava and Raam Mori. Imbued with the earthy fragrance and rich culture of Gir, the film is all set to release in theaters across Gujarat this coming December.

Notably, Tippani Raas is an ancient folk dance native to Saurashtra, particularly the Chorwad and Veraval regions. In ancient times, a heavy wooden pounding tool called a tippani was used to rhythmically beat and compact lime plaster (gara) used in building foundations or upper flooring. To break the monotony of this heavy labor, workers would perform a dance alongside it, which is known today as the Tippani folk dance.

While such dance forms are mostly showcased on stages or at cultural events to represent Gujarati heritage, it is rare to see such an ancient folk dance integrated into a feature film. Vijaygiri Bava is a director deeply devoted to culture. Because he chose to feature such a unique dance form in the movie, the production house likely opted to launch a lyrical video instead of a direct dance video, generating immense excitement among audiences to witness the full performance on the big screen

Day 2 India Collections and Overall Domestic Performance

According to Sacnilk tracking data, Ranabaali earned Rs 7.30 crore net in India on Saturday (Day 2) across 2,292 shows. This marks a 21.1 per cent decline from its opening-day collection of Rs 9.25 crore net. The two-day India net total now stands at Rs 16.55 crore, while the domestic gross has reached Rs 19.25 crore.

Occupancy settled at around 53 per cent on Day 2, down from 57 per cent on Friday. The film recorded 551,946 footfalls on its second day, taking the cumulative footfall count past 1.26 million. Telugu-speaking markets continue to drive the bulk of the collections, with the film primarily tracking as a regional title in its early run.

Overseas Earnings and Worldwide Total

Overseas markets added Rs 2 crore on Day 2, lifting the cumulative overseas gross to Rs 7.40 crore. Combined with the India gross of Rs 19.25 crore, Ranabaali’s worldwide total after two days stands at Rs 26.65 crore. The film had opened with a worldwide gross of approximately Rs 16.50 crore on its first day.

These numbers place Ranabaali past the Rs 25 crore worldwide milestone within 48 hours of release, giving the makers a foundation to build on during the remaining holiday period.

Story, Cast and Context of the Release

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is set against the backdrop of the Madras Famine of 1876-1878 in the Rayalaseema region. The narrative follows resistance against British colonial rule, with Vijay Deverakonda playing a fierce local fighter and Rashmika Mandanna in a key role. The supporting cast includes Arnold Vosloo as the primary British antagonist, along with Easwari Rao and others.

The film marks the first on-screen pairing of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna since their marriage earlier in 2026. It faced stiff competition from Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, which released a day earlier and dominated the overall box office conversation. Mixed reviews and the limited screen count have kept Ranabaali’s growth measured rather than explosive so far.

Day 3 India Collections and Language Breakdown

According to Sacnilk tracking data widely reported across major outlets, Jailer 2 earned Rs 47.80 crore net in India on Saturday (Day 3) from 14,604 shows. The Tamil version remained the clear leader, contributing Rs 34.60 crore from 7,802 shows. The Telugu version added Rs 8.50 crore across 2,100 shows, while the Hindi version collected Rs 4.25 crore from 4,554 shows. A smaller Kannada contribution of around Rs 45 lakh completed the day’s domestic haul.

This takes the film’s three-day India net total to Rs 144.60 crore and India gross to Rs 169.65 crore. Day 1 had opened with a massive Rs 59.70 crore net, followed by Rs 37.10 crore on Day 2. The Saturday recovery of nearly 29 per cent from Friday’s figures shows healthy word-of-mouth and strong weekend demand, especially in Tamil Nadu and key southern markets.

Overseas Performance and Worldwide Total

Overseas markets continued to power the film’s global run. Jailer 2 collected an estimated Rs 47.50 crore overseas on Day 3, taking its cumulative overseas gross to Rs 147.50 crore. Combined with the domestic gross of Rs 169.65 crore, the worldwide total now stands at Rs 317.15 crore after three days.

The film had already recorded one of the strongest overseas openings of 2026, earning around Rs 57 crore on its first day outside India. That early international momentum, followed by steady Day 2 and Day 3 numbers, helped it comfortably cross the Rs 300 crore worldwide milestone well ahead of the first weekend close.

How Jailer 2 Compares and What Comes Next

With these figures, Jailer 2 has already become one of the fastest Tamil films of 2026 to enter the Rs 300 crore worldwide club. It has also overtaken several high-profile releases in overseas opening performance this year. Trade analysts note that the film’s combination of Rajinikanth’s star power, Nelson Dilipkumar’s mass-friendly style and Anirudh Ravichander’s music has translated into strong footfalls across languages.

The cast includes Rajinikanth in the lead as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, alongside Vidya Balan, S.J. Suryah, Ramya Krishnan and Suraj Venjaramoodu. Special appearances by Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Hrithik Roshan and others have added further buzz. As the film heads into the rest of the Dasara holiday period, industry trackers expect the collections to remain healthy, with the Rs 350 crore and Rs 400 crore worldwide marks now within realistic reach if the current momentum holds.

While the couple themselves have remained characteristically private, the formal invitation extended by the Maran family leaves little room for doubt. The wedding of one of South India’s most successful music directors and the high-profile CEO of an IPL franchise is now set to become one of the most talked-about social events of the year.

How the Confirmation Came Through

On October 16, 2026, the Telangana Chief Minister’s Office shared details of a meeting that took place at the Chief Minister’s residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Kalanithi Maran, accompanied by his wife Kavery Maran, called on Revanth Reddy and formally invited him to the wedding reception of their daughter Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander.

The official statement read: “Sun Group Chairman Shri Kalanithi Maran and his wife, Smt. Kavery Maran, met Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri A. Revanth Reddy at his residence in Jubilee Hills and invited him to the wedding reception of their daughter, Kavya Maran. The wedding reception of Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander is scheduled to be held in Chennai on November 21.”

The post was accompanied by photographs and video footage of the meeting, adding visual weight to the announcement. The Chief Minister’s wife was also present during the interaction, underscoring the personal nature of the invitation. Within hours, the news spread across social media and entertainment platforms, ending months of uncertainty.

Earlier reports had suggested the reception might take place on November 14. The official confirmation of November 21 settled the date and shifted the narrative from rumour to established fact.

Background of the Relationship

Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran first attracted public attention when they were spotted together on a dinner date in Las Vegas. The photographs quickly circulated online, sparking widespread speculation about a possible romance between the composer and the cricket executive. Both individuals maintained silence on the matter, choosing not to address the rumours publicly.

Over time, the speculation only grew. Industry sources and entertainment portals continued to report on the pair’s association. In June 2026, the conversation gained fresh momentum when Anirudh’s uncle, veteran actor Y. Gee Mahendra, spoke about the matter in an interview. He described the wedding as “a sure thing” and referred to the couple as a “good pair.” Mahendra also praised Kavya’s capabilities, noting her ability to manage a major IPL franchise and her business acumen inherited from her father.

Despite these comments, neither Anirudh nor Kavya issued any official statement confirming or denying the relationship. Their decision to stay private only heightened public curiosity. The latest development—the personal invitation extended by the Maran family—has now provided the clearest indication yet that the couple is preparing to formalise their relationship.

Who Is Kavya Maran?

Kavya Maran is the daughter of media baron Kalanithi Maran, chairman of the Sun Group, one of India’s largest media conglomerates. She serves as the CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL franchise owned by the Sun Group. Born in Chennai, she has grown into a prominent figure in both the business and sports worlds.

As CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kavya has been closely involved in the team’s operations and is frequently seen supporting the side during matches. Her presence in the stands has made her a familiar face among cricket fans across the country. Beyond cricket, she represents the next generation of the Maran family’s extensive media and entertainment interests.

Her professional role and family background place her at the intersection of business, sports, and media—an unusual combination that has drawn significant attention to her personal life.

Who Is Anirudh Ravichander?

Anirudh Ravichander stands as one of the most successful music composers in contemporary Indian cinema, particularly in the Tamil film industry. Known for his energetic soundtracks and chart-topping compositions, he has delivered music for major films and built a massive following among younger audiences.

His work spans commercial entertainers and high-profile projects, including recent contributions to films such as Jailer 2. Fans often refer to him affectionately as “Anirudh” or “Ani,” and his concerts routinely draw large crowds. Despite his public profile as a composer and performer, Anirudh has generally kept his personal life away from the spotlight.

The prospect of his marriage to Kavya Maran brings together two prominent young figures from different yet complementary worlds—music and cricket, entertainment and sports business.

Reports of a Destination Wedding in Greece

While the Chennai reception on November 21 has been officially confirmed, several entertainment reports have pointed to a private wedding ceremony planned in Greece. According to these accounts, the couple is expected to exchange vows on November 11 in a picturesque destination setting.

Sources suggest that the Greece ceremony will be an intimate affair limited to close family and friends, while the Chennai reception will serve as the larger public celebration. The exact venue in Greece and the full guest list for the private ceremony remain unconfirmed. Neither Anirudh nor Kavya has issued a public statement detailing the wedding arrangements beyond what the Maran family has shared through the invitation to the Chief Minister.

The combination of a destination wedding followed by a grand reception in Chennai aligns with trends seen among high-profile couples who prefer a private ceremony and a more expansive social event for extended family, friends, and industry associates.

Expected Guest List and Scale of the Event

Given the stature of both families, the Chennai reception is expected to draw a high-profile guest list. The Maran family’s connections span media, business, and politics, while Anirudh’s network includes leading figures from the film industry. Reports have mentioned the possibility of prominent personalities from Tamil cinema, including major stars, attending the celebrations.

The presence of political figures, as evidenced by the invitation to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, further underscores the scale of the occasion. Industry observers anticipate that the event will bring together influential names from entertainment, sports, business, and public life.

Preparations for a reception of this magnitude typically involve extensive planning, from venue selection at a five-star hotel in Chennai to logistics, security, and hospitality arrangements. While specific details about the venue and arrangements have not been publicly disclosed, the official confirmation of the date has set the stage for what is expected to be a landmark social gathering.

Public Reaction and Social Media Response

News of the confirmation spread rapidly across social media platforms. Fans of Anirudh expressed excitement and offered congratulations, while cricket enthusiasts noted the union of a major music personality with a key figure in the IPL ecosystem. Many users shared the Telangana CMO’s post and celebrated the end of prolonged speculation.

The announcement also prompted reflections on the couple’s relatively low-key approach to their relationship. In an era of constant social media documentation, their decision to keep personal matters private until the formal invitation was extended stood out to many observers.

Entertainment portals and news outlets quickly published updates, with headlines highlighting the official nature of the confirmation. The story dominated conversations in both Tamil cinema and cricket circles, reflecting the broad appeal of the couple.

What Remains Unconfirmed

Despite the clear confirmation of the reception date and location, several details about the wedding itself have not been officially announced by the couple or their families. These include the exact date and venue of the wedding ceremony, the full list of guests, and any plans for additional celebrations.

Reports of a Greece wedding on November 11 continue to circulate, but they remain based on industry sources rather than direct statements from Anirudh or Kavya. Until the couple or their families choose to share further information, those elements of the wedding plans stay in the realm of informed speculation.

This measured approach is consistent with the way both individuals have handled public attention in the past. Anirudh, in particular, has previously addressed marriage rumours by stating that there were no immediate plans, only for developments to evolve over time.

Broader Context: Marriages in the Public Eye

High-profile weddings in the Indian entertainment and business worlds often generate intense interest. When figures from different spheres—such as film music and professional cricket administration—come together, the attention multiplies. The union of Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran represents a blending of creative talent and corporate leadership, two domains that rarely intersect so directly in the public imagination.

The Maran family’s prominence in media and the Sun Group’s ownership of an IPL franchise add further layers of visibility. At the same time, Anirudh’s massive fan following across South India and beyond ensures that the wedding will be followed closely by audiences who primarily engage with cinema and music.

Such events also highlight the evolving nature of privacy for public figures. While earlier generations of celebrities sometimes conducted personal milestones with limited media coverage, today’s environment of instant information sharing makes complete discretion more challenging. The couple’s ability to keep details under wraps until the formal invitation process began reflects a deliberate strategy of controlled disclosure.

Revanth Reddy at his residence in Jubilee Hills and invited him to the wedding reception of their daughter, Kavya Maran.

Looking Ahead

With the reception date now set for November 21 in Chennai, attention will turn to the weeks leading up to the event. Preparations are expected to intensify on both sides of the family. Fans and industry observers will watch for any additional official statements or visual updates closer to the date.

For now, the central fact stands clear: Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran are preparing to begin a new chapter together, and the celebration of that beginning will take place in Chennai on November 21, with the personal endorsement of the Maran family made public through their invitation to the Telangana Chief Minister.

The story of their relationship, once confined to speculation and occasional sightings, has moved into the realm of confirmed plans. What began as online chatter has culminated in a formal, documented invitation that settles the question for the public.

New Delhi [India], October 16: Ruhbaru, a new premium cultural IP created to bring audiences closer to distinctive artists, music and live experiences, will make its debut with Chapter One: The Orchestral Qawwali Project (OQP) this December. Produced by BAE (Before Anyone Else), the experience-first live entertainment platform from ABP Network, and creatively produced by Cultural (Mis)fits, the four-city India tour will bring internationally acclaimed composer Rushil Ranjan and vocalist Abi Sampa home for the first time. India is about to experience qawwali in a way it has never heard before.

Dates:

• 5 December 2026 – Yashobhoomi, Delhi
• 6 December 2026 – Terraform Arena, Bengaluru
• 12 December 2026 – Ramoji Film City
• 13 December 2026 – JW Marriott Sahar, Mumbai

Founded in 2020, The Orchestral Qawwali Project began with a simple but ambitious question: what happens when the spiritual intensity and improvisational freedom of qawwali are given the scale and architecture of an orchestra? The answer has become a distinctive musical language of its own, bringing together qawwali, Western classical, South Asian and Indian classical traditions, alongside classical dance and immersive live performance.

Over the past few years, OQP has travelled from intimate spaces to some of the world’s most respected stages, with sold-out performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Roundhouse, Barbican and Symphony Hall Birmingham. Following their 2024 performance at the Royal Albert Hall, Ranjan and Sampa were named Associate Artists of the institution. Their reimagining of the 700-year-old qawwali Man Kunto Maula has also reached several million viewers online.

Now, the project comes to India.

For Ruhbaru, OQP is more than a first concert. It is the beginning of a larger cultural proposition. Conceived as an anthology, Ruhbaru will remain the constant while each chapter introduces a different artist, sound or tradition. OQP is the first expression of this vision, with future chapters set to explore new artists, sounds and cultural traditions, but always through the same Ruhbaru promise: Sounds that speak to your Ruh/Soul

“Qawwali has always been more than music; it is poetry, devotion and surrender, brought to life through a shared experience. With the Orchestral Qawwali Project, we wanted to honour its timeless essence while giving it a larger, symphonic canvas, bringing international orchestral artists and qawwals together on Indian stages for the first time. At BAE, we’re always looking to create live experiences that feel fresh, meaningful and memorable. This is one such experience, where the soul of qawwali meets the scale of an orchestra, creating something audiences can truly feel.

For Cultural (Mis)fits, the IP Conceivers and the creative producers of Ruhbaru and India’s representatives for OQP, the project marks the first expression of a larger vision for cultural experiences in India.” – Rajat Uppal, Chief Operating Officer – BAE

Speaking about the initiative and the vision behind the new cultural IP, Ishita Chauhan, Founder & CEO, Cultural (Mis)fits, says, “India doesn’t have a shortage of extraordinary music. It has a discovery problem. Too often, artists are defined by the language they sing in, the genre they belong to or the geography they come from, and audiences end up hearing only what is already within their cultural orbit. Ruhbaru is designed to break that pattern; it’s for anyone who feels deeply, regardless of language or musical vocabulary. Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and regional languages; contemporary folk, Sufi, qawwali, devotional, classical, acoustic, indie and cross-genre fusion the common thread is not going to be genre, but the ability to move people. We want to build a platform where exceptional artists can find audiences beyond their obvious ones, and audiences can discover music beyond the boundaries they have inherited. The Orchestral Qawwali Project is our first chapter because it embodies that belief: it takes a deeply rooted musical tradition and allows it to travel across forms, geographies and generations without losing its soul. Bringing it to India is not simply about bringing home a concert, but about introducing audiences to a way of experiencing culture that we hope Ruhbaru will continue to build, chapter after chapter.”

At the heart of this experience are two artists whose collaboration has quietly been reshaping the possibilities of devotional music on the global stage.

Rushil Ranjan is an award-winning composer and producer whose work brings the orchestral and choral traditions of the West into conversation with the devotional and classical music of South Asia. A self-taught composer, he writes across concert music, award-winning dance productions and BAFTA-nominated television and film projects, with work spanning the Edinburgh International Festival, Southbank Centre, Netflix, ITV and Film4. He is an Associate Artist of the Royal Albert Hall, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s first Collaborative Artist and Artistic Partner of Manchester Camerata. As OQP’s co-founder and composer, Ranjan has created a distinctive orchestral world that brings new audiences into concert halls and opens symphonic music to different traditions and communities. His collaboration with A. R. Rahman culminated in a new co-written work performed at the Royal Albert Hall in April 2026 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and London Voices. Other recent highlights include the world premiere of Ruhaniyat at the Manchester International Festival in 2025. Across these projects, his work combines compositional ambition with a direct emotional language, creating music that is expansive in scale and intimate in its connection with audiences.

Abi Sampa is a qawwal, veena virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist whose extraordinary voice is central to OQP’s identity and emotional power. An Associate Artist of the Royal Albert Hall and co-founder of the project, she brings together the precision of her South Asian classical musicianship with the freedom, intensity and spiritual conviction of qawwali. Her singing moves between delicate, intimate expression and soaring improvisation, giving the project its compelling human centre. The first singer of an Asian classical tradition to appear on The Voice UK, Sampa has gone on to bring devotional music to audiences at some of the UK’s most celebrated concert halls. Her performances with OQP, from the Roundhouse and Barbican to sold-out appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, place her at the forefront of the project’s reimagining of qawwali for the contemporary stage. Both a commanding soloist and a deeply responsive collaborator, she shapes the music through her phrasing, improvisation and interplay with the orchestra. In her voice, the centuries-old poetry of qawwali becomes immediate and personal, drawing listeners into its emotional world across languages and generations.

Together, Ranjan and Sampa have developed an artistic partnership that places a centuries-old devotional tradition in conversation with contemporary orchestral composition, without reducing either to a mere fusion of genres. That distinction is central to OQP. This is not simply qawwali meets orchestra. It is an attempt to create a new musical language : one that allows the spiritual rapture of qawwali to exist within an expansive contemporary orchestral world. The project’s music continues to evolve, with its latest iteration bringing together Ranjan’s orchestral writing, Sampa’s soaring improvisational vocals and Western classical choral music.

The India Tour

After years of building this musical world for audiences across the UK and internationally, Ranjan and Sampa will finally bring it to India across four venues in December 2026:

• 5 December 2026 – Yashobhoomi, Delhi
• 6 December 2026 – Terraform Arena, Bengaluru
• 12 December 2026 – Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad
• 13 December 2026 – JW Marriott Sahar, Mumbai

Ruhbaru is built on a simple belief: great music should not be limited by language, genre or geography. It is for people who feel deeply, and for artists whose work deserves to travel further. From Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and regional languages to contemporary folk, Sufi, qawwali, devotional, classical, acoustic, indie and cross-genre fusion, each chapter will create a space for distinctive sounds to find new audiences and for audiences to discover music beyond what they already know. OQP is the first chapter. What comes next will be shaped by other artists, other sounds and other traditions, but always through the same Ruhbaru promise: sounds that speak to your soul.

Early reactions on X have been mixed. Viewers are praising the lead pair’s performances, their on-screen chemistry, powerful dialogues, and the film’s depiction of British atrocities. However, many have called out the slow pacing (especially in the second half), excessive violence, and underwhelming music.

The film is competing at the box office with Yami Gautam’s Nayi Navelli and Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story, just a day after Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 released.

Set a few months after the events of the first film, Tiger Muthuvel tries to lead a quiet family life. However, his past catches up when a new set of dangerous criminals target him and his loved ones. What follows is a mix of action, comedy, family drama and the trademark Nelson-style absurd humour.

Story and Screenplay

The first half of Jailer 2 is the stronger portion. Nelson’s writing shines with sharp comic sequences, especially those involving supporting characters. The humour feels organic, the pacing is brisk, and Rajinikanth’s deadpan style works brilliantly. The interval block is widely praised as one of the film’s biggest highs, generating massive theatre reactions.

The second half, however, loses momentum. The introduction of multiple villains and an overcrowded ensemble makes the narrative feel stretched. Several new characters remain underdeveloped, and the climax lacks the impact many expected. While the film keeps the door open for a possible third instalment, the storytelling becomes more formulaic and less inventive compared to the first film.

Performances

Rajinikanth remains the biggest strength of Jailer 2. Even at this stage of his career, his screen presence, timing and effortless swagger elevate every scene he is in. Whether he is playing the protective family man or the formidable Tiger, he commands attention.

Among the supporting cast, Suraj Venjaramoodu makes a strong impression in the first half. Vidya Balan gets limited scope in her Tamil debut, while SJ Suryah and Mithun Chakraborty play key antagonistic roles with varying degrees of success. Cameos from stars like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar generate excitement but feel more like fan-service moments than organic contributions to the plot. Yogi Babu continues to deliver reliable comic relief.

Music, Action and Technical Aspects

Anirudh Ravichander once again emerges as a major hero of the film. His background score elevates the mass sequences and keeps the energy high even when the screenplay dips. The action choreography offers several theatrical highs, though some sequences rely heavily on style over substance.

Cinematography and production values are solid, but the film’s lengthy runtime (around 2 hours 45 minutes) becomes noticeable in the latter portions.

The story revolves around a single night and a critical decision that changes everything. Bajpayee plays a police officer caught between personal gain and doing the right thing. As the night progresses, his choices trigger a chain of events with far-reaching consequences.

Why the Title Was Changed

The original title Ghooskhor Pandat sparked widespread criticism soon after Netflix announced the project in February 2026. Critics and community groups argued that the name linked the term “Pandat” (associated with the Brahmin community) with corruption and bribery, potentially hurting religious and caste sentiments.

Protests erupted in several cities. An FIR was registered against the director and team in Lucknow’s Hazratganj police station. Demands to ban the film were raised in Bhopal. The matter reached the Delhi High Court and even the Supreme Court. Facing sustained pressure, the producers decided to change the title. Netflix informed the court that the new title would address the concerns, after which the related petitions were disposed of.

Gajab Raat Trailer Highlights

The newly released trailer presents a dark, suspense-filled tone. It opens with a young woman being thrown out of a moving car in Delhi at night. Manoj Bajpayee’s character, a police officer, is assigned the case and quickly finds himself navigating a web of conflicting interests, shifting loyalties, and moral dilemmas.

The film explores themes of ethical conflict, personal ambition versus duty, and the unpredictable outcomes of decisions made under pressure. Netflix has positioned Gajab Raat as a multi-layered narrative featuring several characters whose paths intersect over the course of one intense night.

Cast and Crew Details

Ritesh Shah makes his directorial debut with Gajab Raat. Until now known primarily as a writer, Shah steps behind the camera for this project. The film is produced by Neeraj Pandey under his banner Friday Film Works, marking a reunion between Pandey and Bajpayee after nearly a decade.

Alongside Manoj Bajpayee, the ensemble cast includes Saqib Saleem, Akshay Oberoi, Divya Dutta, Kiku Sharda, and Nushrratt Bharuccha in key roles. The single-night setting is designed to heighten urgency and keep the tension escalating throughout the narrative.

What Viewers Can Expect

Gajab Raat promises a gritty police thriller centered on moral ambiguity rather than clear-cut heroes and villains. Bajpayee’s character struggles with the temptation of personal benefit while investigating a high-stakes case. The trailer suggests a layered plot involving multiple storylines that converge during the course of one night.

With its dark visual style, sharp performances, and focus on difficult choices, the film aims to keep audiences engaged till the end. The title change has cleared the path for a smooth release, allowing attention to shift fully to the content rather than external controversy.

Conclusion: After navigating significant backlash over its original title, Manoj Bajpayee’s Gajab Raat is now ready to reach audiences. The trailer has generated fresh interest, and the October 23 Netflix premiere offers viewers a chance to experience a tightly crafted one-night thriller. Whether the new title helps the film stand on its storytelling merits will soon be clear.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 13: The infectious beats of Garba, a swirl of traditional colours and the electrifying energy of thousands of khelaiyas marked the grand opening of Rangilo Re 2026 at NESCO Center (Goregaon), promoted and produced by LMG Live and Laqshya Live Experiences.

The arena came alive with music, dance and festive spirit as the eighth edition celebrated Navratri’s timeless traditions on a grander scale. The event is presented by Arvind Smartspaces and powered by The Guardians Real Estate Advisory.

Speaking about Rangilo Re, Parthiv Gohil said, “Over the years, my approach to Rangilo Re has been to create an experience that goes beyond music and dance. Every element, from the chanting of Devi and the Aarti to the sound design, lighting, and musical crescendos, is thoughtfully curated to take the audience on a journey. I want people to experience that beautiful transition from a space of devotion and stillness to one of complete abandon on the Garba floor. For me, the real magic lies in bringing these different emotions together and creating an experience that stays with people long after the nine nights are over.”

The opening night was graced by the Hon. Minister of Electronics, Information Technology, AI and Cultural Affairs, Government of Maharashtra, Shri Ashish Shelar ji, who addressed the gathering, reaffirming the state government’s commitment to addressing drought conditions and encouraging citizens to contribute through collective action and community participation.

A Celebrated Legacy, Reimagined on a Grander Scale

With LLE and LMG Live coming together, we are looking at Rangilo Re not just as a Garba celebration, but as a large-scale live experience where culture, production and audience engagement come together.

Punjab: Trisha Studios has announced its upcoming feature film ‘Krishna Avatar Shri Ramdev Pir’, inspired by the story, spiritual legacy and enduring devotion surrounding Shri Ramdev Pir. The film aims to bring his story, faith and cultural significance to the big screen for audiences across India and beyond.

The film is being produced by Tilok Kothari, whose decades-long personal devotion to Shri Ramdev Pir has been one of the key inspirations behind the project. For Kothari, the film represents the culmination of a deeply personal spiritual journey and a long-held desire to bring the story and legacy of Shri Ramdev Pir to a wider audience through cinema.

For the past 39 years, Kothari has undertaken regular padyatras to seek darshan and blessings of Shri Ramdev Pir. In addition, for the past 12 consecutive years, he has visited for darshan on every Dooj (दूज), the second lunar day of each fortnight in the Hindu calendar.

This longstanding tradition of faith and devotion eventually became the foundation for the film.

The project has been in development for nearly five years, during which the makers have undertaken extensive research into the life, times, locations, traditions and spiritual legacy of Shri Ramdev Pir. Members of the core production team have themselves participated in padyatras and travelled to locations associated with his life and legacy, gaining first-hand insight into the devotion, traditions and cultural landscape surrounding him.

The research has also drawn from published material, historical and cultural references, and traditional narratives and accounts, which have been studied and brought together to shape the film’s cinematic narrative.

After years of research, development and preparation, ‘Krishna Avatar Shri Ramdev Pir’ is now gearing up to go on floors, marking an important milestone in the journey of the project.

The film will explore the story and spiritual world of Shri Ramdev Pir through a cinematic narrative centred on faith, devotion, spirituality, human emotion and the power of belief. Drawing from the traditions and reverence associated with Shri Ramdev Pir, the film seeks to capture both his enduring legacy and the timeless relationship between devotees and the divine.

Shri Ramdev Pir holds a particularly significant place in the cultural and spiritual traditions of Rajasthan and Gujarat, with a devoted following extending across several other parts of India and beyond. The film is therefore being envisioned for a pan-India audience, with the makers seeking to present his story and spiritual legacy through the scale, emotion and immersive experience of a feature film.

Presented by Trisha Studios and produced by Tilok Kothari, ‘Krishna Avatar Shri Ramdev Pir’ is gearing up to go on floors soon. Further details regarding the cast, director and other key members of the production will be announced in due course.

New Delhi [India], September 19: Renowned poet, critic, translator, editor, cultural figure and institution-builder Ashok Vajpeyi was conferred the “Shrikant Verma Shikhar Samman” at a literary ceremony organised by the Shrikant Verma Trust to mark the 95th birth anniversary of Shrikant Verma, the distinguished Hindi writer, journalist, two-term Member of Parliament and prominent figure in Indian public life.

The honour recognises Shri Ashok Vajpeyi’s distinguished and enduring contribution to Hindi literature and to Indian art and culture. The award comprises a seven-kilogram solid Panchdhatu statue of Shrikant Verma, crafted from gold, silver, copper, brass, iron and zinc, along with a citation and a cash prize of ₹21 lakh.

Shri Ashok Vajpeyi is one of the significant voices of contemporary Hindi literature and has played an active role in India’s literary and cultural life. His poetry explores the subtle experiences of love, memory, beauty, time, absence, and human mortality. Alongside poetry, he has made important contributions to literary criticism, translation and editing.

Through his role in building cultural institutions such as Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal, and through his work in preserving and promoting art and culture, he has helped broaden the literary and cultural landscape of Hindi. He has also played an important role in fostering dialogue between literature and the other arts and in encouraging young talent. He is currently the Managing Trustee of the Raza Foundation, New Delhi.

Shrikant Verma was born on 18 September 1931 in Bilaspur, Madhya Pradesh. He obtained an M.A. in Hindi from Nagpur University and established a national reputation across literature, journalism, and politics. He was closely associated with Dinman and also worked as a Special Correspondent for The Times of India.

He authored more than twenty books of poetry and prose. His celebrated work Magadh, published in 1984, is widely regarded as the finest expression of his literary genius.

In public life, Shrikant Verma served two terms as a Member of the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh. He was also General Secretary of the Indian National Congress and served for nearly a decade as an official spokesperson of the party. He passed away in New York on 25 May 1986 after suffering from cancer. He was 54.

The Shrikant Verma Trust was established in 1985 by his wife, Smt Veena Verma, and their only son, Dr Abhishek Verma. Its objective has been to preserve Shrikant Verma’s memory while carrying forward India’s literary and cultural traditions by encouraging new generations of writers and creative talent.

It was with this objective that the Shrikant Verma Award for Literature was instituted to recognise and encourage outstanding literary talent. The award presented to Shri Ashok Vajpeyi this year marked the 18th edition of the Shrikant Verma Award for Literature. Over the years, the award has recognised several distinguished writers, many of whom went on to become leading figures in Hindi literature, including Mangalesh Dabral, Rajesh Joshi and Arun Kamal.

In 2025, the Trust expanded the scope of its awards beyond literature by instituting a ₹5 lakh award for journalism and awards of ₹2 lakh each to recognise contributions in other important areas of India’s intellectual and cultural life, including the visual and performing arts.

The ceremony was attended by eminent writer Arun Kamal as Chief Guest and was presided over by noted artist Paramjit Singh. Distinguished writer and novelist Mamta Kalia, critic and thinker Prof. Purushottam Agrawal, and poet, fiction writer, art and film critic and journalist Vinod Bhardwaj shared their memories of Shrikant Verma and reflected on his contribution to literature.

The programme opened with acclaimed classical vocalist Vidushi Sudha Raghuraman, who presented a musical interpretation of Shrikant Verma’s celebrated work Magadh. The performance received an enthusiastic response.

A short film on Shrikant Verma’s life, literary contribution and legacy was also screened, leaving the audience deeply moved.

After receiving the award, Ashok Vajpeyi thanked the members of the jury for selecting him and observed that Shrikant Verma’s poetry had mapped not only his own times, but ours as well.

He said that poetry records truth, preserves memory and creates a space for fearlessness even in times of fear. In an age marked by breaking and tearing down, he said, the role of poetry is to connect, sustain and preserve.

He also praised the work being undertaken by the Shrikant Verma Trust in the field of literature and expressed confidence that the Shrikant Verma Shikhar Samman would, in the years ahead, establish itself among the foremost literary honours.

Dr Abhishek Verma, Managing Trustee of the Shrikant Verma Trust and the only son of Shrikant Verma, thanked all the guests and emphasised that literature and politics should always remain separate.

He said that very few people today genuinely devote themselves to the welfare of writers, and that there is a pressing need to protect, nurture and encourage both literature and literary figures. He added that, unfortunately, even sincere initiatives undertaken for the advancement of literature are sometimes viewed through the prism of criticism, politics and personal hostility, which ultimately harms literature itself.

Dr Verma said that Shrikant Verma had always attached great importance to literature and to the rights of writers, values which the Shrikant Verma Trust continues to uphold with dedication and conviction.

Spherecho Productions’ first feature film, Dial 1975, premiered on Waves OTT on August 21, 2026, and has been receiving a positive response from audiences for its gripping narrative, atmospheric storytelling and strong performances. The film also achieved a notable early milestone by reaching the No. 1 position in the ‘Popular on Waves’ section on its first day of streaming, marking an encouraging start for the production house’s debut feature.

Set against the backdrop of the 1975 Emergency, Dial 1975 explores a high-stakes race surrounding the prototype of India’s first wireless phone. The film brings together technology, political turmoil and human drama as its characters navigate a world where communication is heavily restricted and a single device becomes the centre of a dangerous pursuit.

The journey of Dial 1975 from production to release, however, came with its share of challenges. The project initially faced several creative and executional hurdles, including glitches during production, footage that required extensive reworking during the edit and a screenplay that needed considerable restructuring. Given the politically sensitive subject, the team also had to work within several restrictions and creative limitations while shaping the narrative.

Despite these challenges, Ranaksh Rana, founder of Spherecho Productions and Megha Rana stepped up to steer the project through its difficult phases. Their perseverance, creative intervention and commitment helped the team overcome the limitations and bring the film together in its intended form. Their efforts ensured that the film ultimately found its visual identity and came into its own, allowing Dial 1975 to reach audiences in the way the team had envisioned.

Led by an accomplished ensemble featuring Kay Kay Menon, Kirti Kulhari, Pravessh Rana, Vishwanath Chatterjee and Shubham Vardhan, the film has drawn attention for its layered characters, tense narrative and performances that bring the uncertainty and paranoia of the era to life.

The film also holds special significance as one of the final screen appearances of the late veteran actor Lt. Tom Alter, adding another layer of importance to the project and his enduring cinematic legacy.

Directed by Navneet Behal and Vibhu Kashyap, Dial 1975 combines a period setting with the urgency of a thriller while keeping its characters and their emotional stakes at the heart of the story. Its strong initial performance on Waves, including its No. 1 position in the platform’s ‘Popular on Waves’ section on day one, marks a positive milestone for Spherecho Productions and the entire team behind the film.

Dial 1975 is now streaming on WAVES, the official state-owned OTT platform launched by Prasar Bharati, offering video-on-demand, audio-on-demand, live TV channels and other digital entertainment services across mobile and smart TV devices.

New Delhi [India], August 24: Tom & Cherry brings together comedy, emotion and suspense in a family entertainer led by Gujarati theatre and screen favourite Siddharth Randeria. With Dhanya Doshi at the centre of a mysterious kidnapping and Randeria stepping into the role of Cherry, the film promises a genre-blending story where laughter and intrigue go hand in hand.

A Much-Loved Comic Favourite Returns

Few names in Gujarati entertainment command laughter quite like Siddharth Randeria. With his distinctive comic timing, effortless screen presence and ability to connect with audiences across generations, Randeria has established himself as a true comedy favourite. He now returns to the big screen with Tom & Cherry, a film that brings together his signature humour with an engaging blend of family drama, emotion and thriller.

When Tom’s Disappearance Changes Everything

At the heart of the film is Tom, played by Dhanya Doshi, whose sudden kidnapping sets an extraordinary chain of events into motion. What begins with a disturbing incident soon takes an unexpected turn, bringing together humour, emotion and suspense as the characters navigate a situation that is anything but ordinary.

Siddharth Randeria as Cherry

Siddharth Randeria plays Cherry, who finds himself drawn into this unusual journey. His comic sensibilities bring an element of lightness to a story that gradually reveals a more intriguing side. The contrast between Randeria’s effortless humour and the mystery surrounding Tom’s disappearance gives the film its distinctive character.

Where Comedy Meets Mystery

As the story unfolds, Tom & Cherry moves fluidly between family drama, comedy and thriller. The film explores relationships, emotions and the unexpected bonds that emerge when circumstances bring people together, while the kidnapping at its centre keeps the narrative moving.

A Family Entertainer with a Twist

The result is a film that does not stay confined to one genre. There is plenty of room for laughter, but beneath it runs a story that keeps its cards close to its chest. The film has received a single-cut censor clearance, adding to its appeal as a wholesome family entertainer, while its twists and turns are best discovered rather than explained beforehand.

Best Experienced on the Big Screen

That is also what makes Tom & Cherry an interesting theatrical proposition. The audience knows enough to enter the story, but not enough to know where it will take them. And with a narrative built around an unexpected journey, revealing too much would mean giving away the very moments that make the film worth watching.

A Journey Full of Surprises

With Siddharth Randeria bringing his unmistakable comic presence to the role of Cherry, Dhanya Doshi at the centre of Tom’s story, and a narrative that carefully balances humour with emotion and suspense, Tom & Cherry promises a family outing that comes with its own share of surprises.

Sometimes, the most memorable journeys are the ones you never see coming. Tom & Cherry invites audiences to take that journey, one laugh, one emotion and that one unexpected turn.

In Hollywood, reaching the highest level requires far more than simply looking good on camera. The modern leading actor must combine emotional depth, physical capability, technical awareness, versatility, discipline, and an unmistakable screen presence. Rish Sinha has deliberately built his skill set around that complete package.

His greatest advantage is not one individual ability—it is the combination of abilities he can bring to a production.

A Leading Man With Genuine Acting Range

At the center of Rish’s strengths is versatility as a performer.

His acting range extends from romance and emotionally nuanced performances to larger-than-life mass-entertainment characters and action heroes. He is comfortable approaching performances through method-based preparation while also understanding the importance of spontaneity and improvisation.

That flexibility matters in Hollywood because today’s leading roles are rarely one-dimensional. An action hero may also need vulnerability. A romantic lead may need intensity. A dramatic protagonist may suddenly be required to carry humor, physical action, or psychological complexity.

Rish’s objective is to be the actor who can move convincingly between those worlds rather than being restricted to a single genre.

An Actor Who Understands the Camera

Performance does not exist independently of filmmaking.

Rish brings an understanding of camera blocking, lighting setups, positioning, continuity, and emotional authenticity on set. Knowing how to adapt a performance to the lens can make an actor significantly more effective during production.

A close-up demands something different from a wide action sequence. A complicated camera move may require an actor to reproduce precisely the same physical and emotional beats across multiple takes.

That technical awareness allows Rish to think not only as a performer but as part of the filmmaking process.

Built for Action

One of Rish’s most significant competitive advantages is the breadth of his action capabilities.

His skills include high-performance driving, stunt work, fight sequences, wire work, stage combat, firearms handling, swordplay, and horse riding.

For action-oriented Hollywood projects, that creates substantial versatility.

Instead of approaching an action character only through acting, Rish can understand the physical language of the character as well—the movement, timing, coordination, aggression, control, and precision required to make action believable.

His experience around motorcycles, road cars, jet skis, motocross, track driving, ATVs, and four-wheel-drive vehicles further expands the types of sequences and characters he can potentially portray.

These are particularly valuable abilities for franchises involving espionage, military characters, superheroes, crime thrillers, racing, adventure, and large-scale action cinema.

Physical Storytelling

Rish’s movement background provides another dimension.

His experience includes Bollywood dance, contemporary movement, break dance, pole movement, and freestyle.

Dance training is about far more than choreography. It develops rhythm, spatial awareness, balance, timing, body control, coordination, and confidence—all qualities that translate directly into acting and action performance.

A performer who understands movement can communicate character even without dialogue.

That becomes especially important in cinematic roles where posture, walking style, fighting movement, romantic chemistry, and physical presence can define a character before a single word is spoken.

International Versatility

Hollywood has increasingly become an international industry, and actors capable of crossing cultural and stylistic boundaries have an important opportunity.

Rish’s ability to perform using American and British dialects gives him additional flexibility when approaching characters created for international productions.

Combined with his physical and dramatic range, this expands the spectrum of roles for which he can prepare.

The goal is not simply to fit one category.

It is difficult to categorize.

The Advantage Is the Combination

Many performers possess one exceptional quality.

Some are strong dramatic actors.

Some are convincing action performers.

Some can dance.

Some have excellent physical presence.

Some understand stunt work.

Some understand the technical requirements of filmmaking.

Rish’s potential advantage lies in developing all of those disciplines simultaneously.

That creates the foundation of a modern cinematic leading man: someone capable of carrying romance, drama, action, spectacle, movement, and emotional storytelling within the same career—and potentially within the same character.

Why Hollywood Could Be the Right Arena

Hollywood’s biggest leading roles increasingly demand actors capable of operating across genres.

Think of the requirements behind a major spy franchise, superhero film, action thriller, historical epic, romantic drama, or adventure franchise. The actor may have to deliver an emotionally demanding scene in the morning, execute choreographed combat later that afternoon, ride or drive during another sequence, and still command the screen during an intimate close-up.

Rish has been developing precisely the type of multidisciplinary foundation such roles demand.

His combination of acting range, action capability, physical movement, technical on-set knowledge, dialect flexibility, driving ability, and performance discipline gives him a distinctive platform from which to pursue major Hollywood opportunities.

There is no shortcut to becoming one of Hollywood’s leading actors. It requires the right projects, exceptional performances, professional relationships, strategic career decisions, persistence, timing, and years of continued development.

But the foundation matters.

And Rish Sinha is building a foundation designed not merely for participation in Hollywood—but for leading-man territory.

His ambition is larger than appearing on screen.

It is to become the kind of performer audiences believe when he falls in love, when he breaks emotionally, when he walks into danger, when he fights, when he takes control of an action sequence—and when the camera simply stays on his face.

That combination is what creates a cinematic star.

The objective is not simply to become another Hollywood actor.

It is to develop the range, physical command, discipline, and screen presence required to compete for the very top.

His previous projects include Pehli Vaari, Bijli Bijli, Khoobsurat, Kaisa and Taare, among others. Through these releases, Jain has explored varied musical styles and creative formats while working with artists who have established a strong connection with digital audiences.

His entrepreneurial background has contributed to a production approach that combines creative development with an understanding of audience engagement and the evolving digital entertainment ecosystem.

The latest collaboration with Pranjal Dahiya further expands Jain’s association with prominent contemporary performers. Dahiya has established a strong presence in the Haryanvi entertainment industry through her music video appearances and distinctive screen presence.

Commenting on the release, Ratan Lal Jain said, “Pranjal has an incredible ability to connect with audiences, and she brings her own personality to every project. With Shonk, we wanted to bring together the right music, voice and visual presence. Abraam has done a fantastic job with the song, and having Pranjal as part of the project made the collaboration even more exciting.”

The release comes as India’s independent music ecosystem continues to expand, with YouTube, streaming platforms and social media creating new avenues for artists and producers to reach audiences beyond traditional music channels. Regional and independent music is increasingly finding audiences across different parts of the country and internationally.

Jain’s work reflects this changing landscape, with an emphasis on developing music projects as complete digital experiences.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 15: Indian filmmaker V R Bhagat is set to represent India at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival with his directorial debut, Flower of Life, marking a significant international milestone for the filmmaker and the team behind the film.

Produced by Mohit Parmar and Sanjana Parmar under House of Joy Productions, Flower of Life features a powerful ensemble cast led by Piyush Mishra, alongside Bharati Patel, Rhea Sharma, Kunal Pant, Himanshi Parashar, and Nikhil Malik.

Following an encouraging festival journey and appreciation on the international circuit, Flower of Life is now headed to Venice, where its official premiere is scheduled for September 8, 2026.

For writer-director V R Bhagat, Venice represents a defining moment in his debut as a filmmaker. Taking his first directorial work to one of cinema’s most recognised international stages places both the filmmaker and flower of life in an important global spotlight.

At the heart of the film is an ensemble of characters and relationships brought together through an intimate exploration of love, ambition, loneliness, human connection and hope. With veteran performer Piyush Mishra forming part of its ensemble, the film brings together established experience and a new generation of performers under V R’s direction.

The Venice milestone is equally significant for producers Mohit Parmar and Sanjana Parmar, who have backed the film through House of Joy Productions and supported V R’s vision from its development through production and its subsequent international festival journey.

For House of Joy Productions, Flower of Life represents an effort to support distinctive Indian stories and emerging filmmaking voices with the potential to travel beyond domestic audiences. The film’s journey to Venice marks an important moment for the production house as it takes an independently produced Indian story to an international audience.

Producers Mohit Parmar and Sanjana Parmar described the journey of Flower of Life as one built on a shared belief in the story and in V R’s voice as a filmmaker. With its Venice premiere approaching, the producers see the moment not simply as a milestone for the film, but as an opportunity for an Indian filmmaker’s debut work to be seen and celebrated on an international platform.

Having received appreciation during its festival journey, Flower of Life now enters one of the most significant chapters of its run as V R Bhagat represents India at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

The film’s September 8 premiere in Venice will bring together the culmination of V R’s debut as writer-director, the performances of its ensemble cast, and the vision of producers Mohit Parmar and Sanjana Parmar and House of Joy Productions on an international stage.

From an independent Indian film to Venice, flower of life now prepares to take its story — and a new Indian filmmaking voice — to audiences from across the world.

The film is being presented at Venice by the Indian Panorama International Film Festival Organisation, adding another significant chapter to Flower of Life’s international journey.

Trailer and poster unveiled; Devika Daftardar reprises her acclaimed role as Awali in the much-awaited new season

Mumbai  :  After emerging as one of the most-watched Marathi originals on Ultra Jhakaas OTT, Saubhagyawati Sarpanch is back with a bigger, bolder second season. The trailer and poster of the much-awaited Marathi web series were unveiled today, promising a gripping blend of village politics, power struggles, social issues, and women-led leadership. The new season will premiere exclusively on Ultra Jhakaas OTT from July 24, 2026.

The first season struck a chord with audiences for its inspiring story of Awali, an ordinary village woman who rose to become Sarpanch and challenged deep-rooted social norms. Season 2 picks up where that journey left off, with Awali facing her toughest test yet with introduction of character called Nana, her political rival as political conspiracies, misinformation, fractured relationships, and the growing water crisis threaten both her leadership and the future of her village.

The newly launched trailer hints at a high-stakes battle where power clashes with integrity, personal ambition collides with public welfare, and every decision carries lasting consequences. As trust begins to erode, Awali must once again prove that true leadership is built not on authority, but on courage, honesty, and resilience.

Headlined by Devika Daftardar in the lead role, the series also stars acclaimed Marathi actors Kishore Kadam, Milind Shinde, Ashwini Kulkarni, and a strong ensemble cast. Directed by Santosh Kolhe, Saubhagyawati Sarpanch – Season 2 continues to blend emotionally engaging storytelling with socially relevant themes rooted in rural Maharashtra.

Speaking about the new season, Sushilkumar Agrawal, Founder & CEO, Ultra Media & Entertainment Group, shared "The overwhelming response to the first season reaffirmed that audiences are embracing Marathi stories that are authentic, meaningful, and entertaining. With Season 2, we have expanded the narrative with higher emotional stakes and relevant issues such as grassroots governance, water conservation, and women-led leadership. We believe the new season will resonate with audiences across Maharashtra and the global Marathi diaspora."

With successful originals like IPC, Raakh, Khotachiwadi, 8 Waajun 13 Minite, and now the return of one of its flagship franchises, Ultra Jhakaas OTT continues to strengthen its position as a leading destination for original Marathi entertainment.

Born as Akash Datta on November 28, 1992, in Delhi and raised in Faridabad, CashMmickey has never followed a conventional path. After completing his engineering degree from Manav Rachna International University, he worked as a journalist at NDTV, where he learned the art of observing people, understanding emotions, and telling meaningful stories. Today, he channels those experiences into his music, creating songs that connect deeply with listeners.

Since making his official entry into the music industry in 2024, CashMmickey has released 17 original tracks, steadily building a name for himself in the independent music scene. Some of his most loved releases include Gal Kar Mere Naal, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, and Dil Di Metro, showcasing his ability to blend emotional storytelling with modern hip-hop and melodic sounds.

Unlike many artists, CashMmickey is deeply involved in every stage of his creative journey. He writes his own lyrics, develops unique melodies, and delivers every track with his signature vocal style. His music reflects authenticity, combining heartfelt lyrics with energetic rap and memorable hooks that resonate with audiences across genres.

His artistic vision extends beyond the recording studio. During a landmark live performance in Faridabad, CashMmickey transformed the stage into an immersive experience where choreographed dance performances accompanied his original rap sets, while a live sketch artist illustrated the performance in real time. The event showcased his passion for creating performances that engage audiences through music, visual art, and storytelling simultaneously.

For CashMmickey, every song begins with an emotion and ends with a story. He views music as a canvas where rhythm, poetry, and melody come together to express life’s experiences. Each production is carefully crafted, with layered compositions and meaningful lyrics that reflect both personal growth and artistic ambition.

Continuing to evolve as an artist, CashMmickey is currently working on an exciting devotional music project, exploring a fresh creative direction by blending contemporary production with spiritual themes. This upcoming work reflects his versatility and willingness to push artistic boundaries while staying true to his identity as a storyteller.

As he continues to grow, CashMmickey is proving that success isn’t about following a predictable path – it’s about having the courage to create your own. From engineering classrooms and television newsrooms to recording studios and live stages, his journey is a powerful reminder that passion, creativity, and perseverance can transform any dream into reality.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 27: Regional content powerhouse STAGE, India’s leading dialect-based OTT platform, and acclaimed production house Sunshine Productions have announced an exciting new partnership to bring Daakan, a chilling, premium horror web-series rooted in the rich and haunting folklore of Rajasthan; created exclusively for STAGE.

Daakan is set to stream exclusively on STAGE as a premium multi-episode series, deeply embedded in Rajasthani dialect, culture, and mythology. The show marks a significant moment for dialect-based horror on the Indian OTT landscape — a genre largely unexplored in the heartland’s own tongue. Rooted in the primal fears and ancient lore of the region, Daakan promises a visceral, atmospheric viewing experience that is as culturally authentic as it is terrifying.

STAGE, which has rapidly emerged as the undisputed leader in India’s regional OTT ecosystem with superhit titles like Saanwari, Punarjanam, Khejdi, Naate, and more, continues to aggressively expand its premium content library. By merging STAGE’s unparalleled dominance and data-driven understanding of dialect-speaking audiences with Sunshine Productions’ proven legacy of trendsetting, award-winning content, the partnership is set to deliver a viewing experience unprecedented in the regional horror genre.

Sunshine Productions, founded in 1997 by celebrated director duo Seema and Sudhir Sharma, brings with it nearly three decades of storytelling mastery across television, OTT, and now feature films. One of India’s top production and content creation companies, Sunshine’s flagship series Jamnapaar (Amazon MX) has been ranked amongst India’s Top 10 most-watched original series in 2024–25 as per Ormax, while Yeh Meri Family swept multiple honours at the Exchange4Media Awards including Best Drama Series. With Daakan, Sunshine now turns its lens toward the spine-chilling world of Rajasthani supernatural horror.

Talking about the vision behind this collaboration, Parveen Singhal (Co-Founder & CCO), STAGE, said, “At STAGE, we constantly push the boundaries of what dialect entertainment can be. The audiences of Bharat are deeply connected to the stories, spirits, and folklore of their land and yet, this space has been dramatically underserved in the horror genre. Daakan is our way of changing that. Sunshine Productions’ pedigree of creating niche, youth-forward content that resonates deeply makes them the perfect partner to bring this terrifying world to life in Rajasthani. We believe this will set a whole new benchmark for horror in the heartland.”

Commenting on the partnership, Seema and Sudhir, Founders of Sunshine Productions, stated, “Our mantra has always been ‘Entertainment with relevance’ — and nothing could be more relevant to Rajasthan’s audiences than a horror story told in their own voice, steeped in the folklore they have grown up with. STAGE has built something truly extraordinary: a platform that genuinely respects and amplifies the heartland’s cultural identity. Daakan is a story we are immensely passionate about, and we couldn’t have found a better home for it.”

About STAGE OTT:

Launched in 2019, STAGE is India’s first and largest dialect-based OTT platform, designed exclusively for the audiences of “Bharat.” Operating on the philosophy of “Company nahi, hum kranti hain,” STAGE delivers high-quality, premium web-series, movies, and short-form content in underserved dialects like Haryanvi, Rajasthani, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and more. Making it truly a revolutionary OTT platform. With millions of paying subscribers and backing from top-tier global investors, STAGE has successfully broken the myth around regional content monetization, offering culturally authentic stories that provide dignity and representation to India’s heartland.

About Sunshine Productions:

Founded in 1997 by director duo Seema and Sudhir Sharma, Sunshine Productions is one of India’s top production and content creation companies, with a strong presence across Television, OTT, and now Feature Films. Their flagship series Jamnapaar ranks amongst India’s Top 10 most-watched original series in 2024–25 (Ormax), while Yeh Meri Family won many awards. Their OTT slate also includes Salt City, Only for Singles and Knock Knock Killer. On television, landmark shows like Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha, 12/24 Karol Bagh, The Buddy Project, and Miley Jab Hum Tum have earned them many accolades for Most Promising Production House; all built on one belief: always stand out of the clutter.

Kolkata Corridor / Kolkata : ​Following his recent recognition as one of India's Top 15 Founders for 2026, tech-driven developer and electronic music producer Parijat Leuki has officially announced a formal invitation for private participation in an upcoming, highly structured Film Project.

​Known across the region for his strict focus on transparency, asset governance, and compliance within the real estate-tech space, Leuki is set to inject much-needed corporate rigor into the entertainment sector. The new media venture represents a calculated consolidation of his dual expertise: institutional-grade financial structuring and audio-visual media production.

​Leuki, who commands a notable global digital footprint as an EDM producer with major releases like Persistence and Noxame, plans to bring a unique "validation-first" strategy to the creative pipeline. Unlike traditional independent filmmaking structures which often navigate volatile budgeting models, this upcoming film project is built upon a rigorously structured financial framework designed to protect capital velocity and ensure boardroom-level integrity.

​"Our approach completely reframes the relationship between creative execution and investor security," stated Parijat Leuki. "We are not just producing media; we are building an institutional engine where asset governance, milestone-driven transparency, and multi-stream revenue frameworks are integrated right into the project’s DNA."

​The film project will leverage Leuki’s verified multi-media background, combining vertically integrated in-house soundtrack production with an aggressive global distribution strategy. By utilizing established PR networks and international media relationships, the venture aims to build upfront marketing momentum to maximize project liquidity across theatrical, streaming (OTT), and intellectual property rights. To stay updated on the project's milestones, investors can follow his official handle @parijatleuki_official.

​The invitation for private participation is strictly tailored for board-level participants, high-net-worth individuals, and strategic partners looking to diversify into premium, de-risked entertainment assets. Further disclosures regarding the project’s governance protocols, timeline protections, and the technical financial mandate are being handled under strict private parameters.

New Delhi [India], June 15: A groundbreaking audiovisual experience is taking the music scene by storm. The highly anticipated English music video “Drama Fame Gossip” has been officially launched worldwide, sending ripples through the entertainment industry. Now streaming across premier global platforms including Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Gaana, and JioSaavn, this international release is rapidly capturing the attention of the mass audience hungry for innovation.

Produced by the visionary powerhouse The Aani Entertainment and helmed by acclaimed director Anindgita Dasgupta, the project disrupts the traditional boundaries. Part high-fashion music video, part rapid-fire psychological drama, the release is a masterclass in modern entertainment.

A 6.31-Minute Masterpiece: The Return of the Cinematic Music Video

In an era dominated by fleeting attention spans and 15-second internet clips, “Drama Fame Gossip” boldly defies the status quo. Clocking in at a substantial 6 minutes and 31 seconds, this release plays less like a standard promotional video and more like an elite cinematic short film.

The ambitious project tells a complete, gripping narrative at a breathtaking, rapid-fire speed. Every frame serves a purpose, every beat advances the plot, and the overarching story hooks viewers from the opening second until the final credit rolls.

Director Anindgita Dasgupta’s transition from feature filmmaking to music videos brings a massive, widescreen scale to the project. When questioned about the unusually long and narrative-heavy format, Anindgita revealed that storytelling is simply embedded in her creative self.

“As I started my journey as a filmmaker, it is my natural habit to tell a story,” Anindgita explained in an exclusive interview. “That inherent instinct naturally reflects here in this music video. For me, every single lyric is a living story and a distinct character. Words hold an immense, undeniable power.”

The Philosophy of the Word: Artistry Meets Entertainment

Behind the high-energy beats, glamorous aesthetics, and gripping drama of “Drama Fame Gossip” lies a deeply profound philosophy about human connection. Anindgita views language not just as a tool for communication, but as a force capable of shifting the world.

“Personally, I always choose proper words to express my raw emotions,” Anindgita shared. “I truly believe that words possess the power to start wars—and conversely, words can stop wars too. In my life, words matter deeply. Dialogues and lyrics are not just tools to express human emotion; they are a divine gift.”

This core belief drives the narrative energy of the new release. By elevating the lyrical content and matching it with high-octane visual storytelling, the team behind the project aims to deliver deep substance disguised as pure entertainment.

“We humans are the only creatures in this world blessed with the ability to speak,” the director noted. “We all know how vital that is. Through my words and my art, I try to describe a real, impactful story under the beautiful banner of pure entertainment.”

Detached from Pressure, Driven by Destiny

In the cutthroat world of global entertainment, creators are often consumed by algorithm metrics, streaming charts, and instant validation. However, the creative team behind “Drama Fame Gossip” is taking a remarkably grounded, refreshing approach to their global rollout.

Despite pouring immense creative energy into the massive production, Anindgita remains entirely unfazed by the unpredictable nature of internet fame, choosing instead to focus solely on the purity of the craft.

“I try to tell a great story and give my absolute best efforts to making a beautiful thing,” she stated. “But at the end of the day, how people connect with this creation is entirely up to them. Whether the masses love it passionately or ignore it completely, it is not in my hands. And honestly, I am not worried about it at all.”

This fearless artistic philosophy allows the production house to focus on quality rather than commercial anxiety.

“Because something is out of my control, I cannot worry myself with it—that is not my lookout,” Anindgita added. “Putting forth my best possible effort is the only thing in my hands, and I ensure I do exactly that. For the rest, I believe in destiny. What is written in my destiny will inevitably happen, and I have no desire to interfere with that cosmic process. I am just incredibly happy that so many people are already loving and connecting with this track.”

A Multi-Lingual Franchise on the Horizon

The global English release of “Drama Fame Gossip” is only the opening chapter of a much larger international entertainment franchise. The creative minds at The Aani Entertainment are already working behind the scenes on the next phase of the rollout.

Anindgita shares that multiple regional and international versions of the song are actively in development. Recognizing the universal appeal of the track’s core story, the team plans to re-imagine the song in various languages to connect intimately with diverse cultural audiences across the globe.

Production for these alternative language versions is already underway, promising new vocal arrangements, fresh linguistic nuances, and a truly global footprint for the property.

“I have massive, expansive plans regarding this song,” Anindgita teased with a smile. “The world will see them reveal with time.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 9: Regional content powerhouse STAGE, India’s leading dialect-based OTT platform, has announced a major creative renewal with celebrated television writer and creator Raghuvir Shekhawat. Following the massive regional blockbuster success of their maiden collaboration, Bhairavi Season 1, STAGE has officially signed the veteran writer to helm the expansion of the franchise, greenlighting an ambitious, dual-season production slate for Season 2 and Season 3.

Bhairavi, a gripping, high-stakes political drama inspired by true events, has become a massive flagship asset for STAGE across the region. Season 1 captured audiences entirely. Capitalizing on this phenomenal momentum, STAGE has locked in Raghuvir Shekhawat to scale the universe with simultaneous shoots for the next two seasons, set to begin this June. The new chapters will be mounted on an even grander scale, setting a new benchmark for hyper-local production quality in India.

Moving forward, the franchise will shift its primary strategic direction to explicitly feature a powerful, justice-driven narrative rooted in a female-led revenge theme against exploitation. Leaving behind purely fictional tropes, the upcoming seasons will focus heavily on the human element and the evolving perspectives of its key characters. A major narrative hook will explore the deeply altered motivations of the antagonist, Arjun, and his complex, changing equation with the lead character.

STAGE continues to aggressively scale its premium content library, solidifying its position as the undisputed leader in India’s regional OTT ecosystem. By merging STAGE’s unmatched dominance and data-driven understanding of dialect-speaking audiences with Shekhawat’s unparalleled, decades-long mastery of heartland narratives, the partnership sets a new benchmark for regional digital entertainment.

Talking about the strategic vision of the collaboration, Parveen Singhal, Chief Content Officer (CCO), STAGE, said, “The phenomenal response to Bhairavi proved a crucial point: audiences in Bharat don’t just want content in their local dialects; they are hungry for complex, premium narratives told with true cinematic scale. As we expand the Bhairavi universe significantly, our focus is on delivering a grander visual spectacle and a deeply human, justice-driven narrative. We are shifting the spotlight onto a powerful, female-led revenge narrative against exploitation, portraying our protagonist as an authentic voice for women who have faced systemic injustice. Raghuvir ji is an absolute institution, and the entire team is incredibly excited to set a whole new production benchmark for dialect entertainment this June.”

Commenting on the expansion of the show, Raghuvir Shekhawat stated, “STAGE gave me the exact right canvas to explore real-life incidents with Bhairavi. The overwhelming love for Season 1 has been incredibly rewarding, and for the next two seasons, we are pushing the boundaries of character evolution. The audience will witness a massive shift in motivations, especially the complex psychological equation between Arjun and Parvati. With STAGE granting us the resources to execute this vision, we are moving past conventional political conspiracies to anchor the story in a raw, emotional journey of justice and female defiance. I am thrilled to reunite with the STAGE team and dive straight into filming this month.”

New Delhi [India], June 05: Prepare for a spine-chilling night of high-concept horror as Zee Cinema brings the highly anticipated World Television Premiere of Eagle Home Entertainment and Surender Suneja presents Kishkindhapuri: Radio Station on June 5 at 8:00 PM. Dubbed in Hindi for the very first time on television, this critical and commercial hit promises to deliver a masterclass in psychological dread and supernatural suspense.

The Plot: When Dead Air Awakens

The film revolves around Raghava, his girlfriend Mythili, and their friends who run a commercial, night-time “ghost-themed walking tour” company. Looking for their next big destination, the group enters Suvarna Maya, an abandoned, vintage radio station on the edge of town.

What begins as a fun thrill-seeking business venture takes a terrifying turn when they accidentally activate an antique radio board, awakening a dormant, malevolent spirit. The true horror unfolds when the team heads home, only to realize that the entity did not stay behind in the station—it has followed them back.

A Creative Team

Directed by the visionary filmmaker Koushik Pegallapati, the film breaks away from generic jump-scare tropes to focus on atmospheric tension and technical precision. The thriller features an ensemble cast:

• Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas delivers a career-best, grounded performance as Raghava.
• Anupama Parameswaran shines with a strong emotional portrayal as Mythili.
• Sandy Master provides a terrific, standout performance as the enigmatic Visravaputra.

The retro soundboards, switches, and blinking “on-air” lights serve as terrifying narrative tools. Coupled with an exceptional, high-octane background score by Chaitan Bharadwaj, the movie builds an auditory experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

Official poster of Tu Kaun Main Khamkha, Rahul Harit’s latest family comedy

New Delhi [India], June 05: Filmmaker Rahul Harit has announced the release of Tu Kaun Main Khamkha, a family comedy feature now streaming on Hungama OTT, Airtel Xstream, WatchO, and Amazon Prime Video in the United States and the United Kingdom. Produced and directed by Harit, with co-producers Ranjana Tandon, Priytosh Wali, and Sunita Harit, the film centres on everyday domestic situations, family relationships, and the kind of humour that translates across generations.

Co-produced by Ranjana Tandon, Priytosh Wali, and Sunita Harit, the film draws its comedy from recognisable domestic moments rather than dramatic set-pieces. It is the kind of material that plays equally well for a twelve-year-old and a grandmother sharing the same screen.

Harit has been working in Indian entertainment since 1998, when he began in theatre at Delhi Art Theatre before moving into television. He produced The New Generation for DD Metro and, early in his career, The Little Detectives, the project that gave late actor Bikramjeet Kanwarpal one of his first significant screen opportunities. His work since then has spanned directing, cinematography, editing, music production, and post-production, including ADR contributions to Delhi Crime Season 1, The Tattoo Murders, Raat Baaki Hai, and Collar Bomb, among others.

The music in Tu Kaun Main Khamkha is written and composed by Harit himself. The title track is performed by playback singer Rajesh Roy, known for “Bodyguard.” Feeling Pyar Ki, a romantic duet, features pop singer Shibani Kashyap alongside Abhishek Chhetri. Harit also lends his own voice to the Kitchen Song, a lighter number that fits the film’s domestic comic register.

Two newcomers: Divya Wali as Shobha and Himanshi Gupta as Seerat, continue Harit’s pattern of building productions around emerging performers rather than established names.

Tu Kaun Main Khamkha is currently streaming on Hungama OTT, Airtel Xstream, WatchO, and on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and the United Kingdom.

About Rahul Harit

Rahul Harit is a filmmaker, producer, director, cinematographer, editor, and music producer with over two decades of experience across theatre, television, film, and digital content.

New Delhi [India], June 03: Independent music composer Rajman is preparing to launch one of the most ambitious multilingual rock projects in India’s independent music industry with his upcoming album NIRVANA. Over the last few years, Rajman has emerged as one of the leading names in Telugu independent rock music, building a strong fanbase through emotionally driven compositions, cinematic production, and modern rock arrangements.

With more than 6 million (60 lakh) listeners and viewers globally and over 100,000 followers across social media platforms, Rajman continues to expand his influence as a composer, songwriter, audio engineer, and music educator. Through NIRVANA, Rajman aims not only to take Telugu independent music to a broader national audience, but also to establish himself in mainstream Indian movie music by bringing cinematic rock production and multilingual storytelling into the commercial music space.

Rajman’s upcoming album NIRVANA is being developed as a multilingual independent rock experience featuring songs in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada. The project is already gaining attention within India’s indie music community for its cinematic scale, multilingual approach, and modern production quality. Promotional announcements surrounding NIRVANA have described the album as a “historic musical revolution” designed to redefine the possibilities of Telugu independent rock music.

The album combines heavy rock instrumentation, cinematic orchestration, emotional storytelling, electronic sound design, and advanced audio production techniques. Rajman has stated that NIRVANA represents years of musical vision and creative experimentation aimed at creating a powerful cross-cultural rock experience for Indian audiences while bridging independent music with the larger Indian film music industry.

Rajman’s musical identity has always stood apart within the regional music scene. Influenced heavily by iconic international rock bands such as Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, and Scorpions, Rajman developed a signature sound that merges Telugu lyrical emotion with western rock energy. His songs are known for layered guitar arrangements, emotional melodies, cinematic soundscapes, and polished modern production.

Rajman first introduced his style to audiences with his debut single Manasu in 2020. However, songs such as Yeto Veeche Gaali, Honey, YOU, Eenade, and I Miss You significantly elevated his popularity and established him as a major figure in India’s growing independent music movement.

One of Rajman’s biggest milestones came through the success of Honey, which became one of the most recognized Telugu independent rock songs at national-level indie music award platforms. The song earned four Clef Music Awards 2024 along with an Indian Music Award for Best Rock Song of the Year. These achievements positioned Rajman among the few Telugu independent composers to receive multiple national awards for a single rock release.

Prior to that, Rajman’s breakthrough single Yeto Veeche Gaali had already won major recognition at the Clef Music Awards 2023, helping establish his name within the Indian indie music circuit. In 2025, his emotional rock ballad I Miss You continued his award-winning streak by securing two additional independent music honors.

Rajman’s growing influence has also received recognition from several respected names in the Indian music industry. Rajman has collaborated with several distinguished personalities in the Indian music and film industry, including Oscar-winning composerM. M. Keeravani, acclaimed lyricist Chandrabose, renowned music directors Mani Sharma and R. P. Patnaik, and celebrated writer-actor Tanikella Bharani. His work has also received appreciation from some of India’s most respected musical icons, including Sonu Nigam, Daler Mehndi, Anu Malik, and Anup Jalota, underscoring the recognition and esteem he has earned across the industry.

Apart from his career as a composer and performer, Rajman is also deeply involved in music education through Rajman School of Music, a Hyderabad-based institution focused on music production and audio engineering training. Founded by Rajman himself, the academy offers both online and offline programs covering recording, mixing, mastering, vocal production, composition, DAW workflows, and independent artist development.

Rajman School of Music has become increasingly popular among aspiring musicians and producers seeking professional training aligned with modern streaming-era music careers. The institution combines practical studio experience with industry mentorship, helping students develop real-world production skills.

Rajman’s journey reflects the transformation currently taking place within India’s music industry, where independent artists are now reaching national and international audiences through digital platforms rather than relying solely on traditional film industries. By combining multilingual creativity, rock-inspired composition, cinematic production, and strong independent branding, Rajman continues to build a unique space for himself within the Indian music ecosystem while steadily moving toward his goal of becoming a recognized force in mainstream movie music.

As anticipation grows around NIRVANA, many independent music observers believe the album could become a major milestone for Telugu independent rock music and multilingual Indian indie projects. With a rapidly growing fanbase, national music awards, and an expanding educational platform, Rajman continues to shape the future of independent music in India.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 02: PaRa Music today announced its official launch as India’s first AI-powered music company, with a model designed to help original Indian music reach larger audiences across India and worldwide. Backed with funding from a consortium of angel and institutional investors led by Apollo Growth Capital, the company combines human-created music with proprietary AI-led market intelligence to guide catalogue development, distribution, and monetisation. PaRa Music plans to build a catalogue of 40,000 songs over the next four years across film and non-film music, spanning Hindi and regional languages.

India is already one of the world’s largest music markets and projected to reach INR 7,500 crore in 2028 at a CAGR of 9% (source: FICCI-EY Media and Entertainment Report 2026), but the gap between audience demand and effective discovery remains significant, particularly for regional and non-film music. Industry projections point to continued expansion in both streaming and recorded music revenues, while platform data shows strong growth in listening across Hindi and regional languages. PaRa Music aims to address that opportunity by building catalogue, distribution, and monetisation capabilities around underserved demand. 

“India has one of the world’s richest and most diverse music ecosystems, yet much of its potential remains untapped. PaRa Music was founded to unlock this opportunity through technology, data, and strategic investment in Music IP. As the global recorded music market moves towards $200 billion by 2035, we believe India is poised to become a major growth engine. Backed by an all-star team of music, technology, content, and business leaders, we are building a next-generation music company with the ambition to become one of India’s most valuable Music IP businesses while ensuring that great Indian music finds its audience.” Explained RashnaPochkhanawala, Founder – PaRa Music.

“We rarely encounter opportunities where a large market, a proven business model, and exceptional leadership converge so clearly. India’s music economy is entering a period of unprecedented growth, and we believe Music IP will be one of the defining asset classes of the next decade. Rashna has already demonstrated her ability to build and scale valuable music businesses, and PaRa Music is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity at a national scale, with AI driving the growth and the monetization model, we are excited to unravel the next chapter of India’s music scene. We are proud to partner Rashna’s vision and are committing significant capital behind the company’s growth.” Said Johri, Company Spokesperson – Apollo Growth Capital

At the centre of PaRa Music’s model is PaRaMeter, the company’s in-house AI Chief of Music Intelligence. This proprietary AI brain does not create music. Instead, it analyses audience signals across platforms and geographies to identify emerging demand, guide investment decisions, and support smarter catalogue and release strategies. The company says this approach is intended to improve discovery and market fit while keeping music creation firmly in the hands of artists, composers, and songwriters.

Founded by RashnaPochkhanawala, PaRa Music is building its business around the premise that original Indian music should have a stronger path to audience reach and long-term monetisation. The company’s strategy combines human creativity, institutional capital with data-led decision-making to support catalogue creation, targeted distribution, and diversified revenue opportunities for creators and rights holders. The company also aims to partner with central and state governments to support music-led cultural, creative, and economic initiatives across India.

The business also enters a broader market in which music rights and catalogues are increasingly viewed as long-term assets, with global investment activity expanding across recorded music and related rights. PaRa Music adds serious firepower to India’s national music arena through a technology-led approach and a powerhouse professional team aiming to build Indian music IP for the world, ensuring creators achieve stronger commercial outcomes and capture greater long-term value.

‘Ishqa’ is produced by Harmeet Singh and Manmeet Singh of Meet Bros, Anjali Bhushan Mago and Anavi Bhushan Nugyal under their label Yantra Films of Mahakaal Vibes Studios and Yantra Cyprus AVC Ltd, in collaboration with Ray Films Cyprus as delegate producers, and Bulb Chamka as the line producers on the film. The unveiling event was powered by Eurobank.

Casting for ‘Ishqa’ is currently underway, and the film promises well-known names for key roles in the film.

Speaking at the unveiling of the film, Hon. President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides expressed, “It is a very special occasion for Cyprus’ creative industry. Cinema has a unique power. It transcends borders, seamlessly reaches cultures and people. And of course, creates a space of interaction that allows people to connect to the country long before they physically visit it. The location of an artistic production is about identity and emotion. And then, there is our unparalleled hospitality.  I know India is known for its hospitality but you will see that we have a lot in common and we Cypriots have a special flair for hospitality too. We have a lot in common.” Further, reminiscing about Hon. Indian Prime Miniter Narendra Modi’s visit to Cyprus last year, he added, “I’m very proud to say that Cyprus-India partnership grows from strength to strength.”

With over three decades in the entertainment industry, Anjali has worked across television, documentaries, film production and studio leadership. Over the years, she has been Executive Producer and Creative Producer with leading banners including Viacom18 Studios, T-Series and Ajay Devgn Films before stepping into her directorial debut for a feature film with ‘Ishqa’.

Speaking about what led her to direct her first feature now, Anjali said, “I have been directing since 1996, beginning with television and documentaries, but directing a fiction feature film required a much deeper understanding of every aspect of filmmaking. ‘Ishqa’ is a romantic dramedy about four stories of unconditional love interwoven in a comedy of errors. I truly feel audiences today need a happy film.” Talking about Cyprus as the setting of the film, she added, “Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love… making it the perfect setting for ‘Ishqa’. From its white sandy beaches and blue Mediterranean waters to the old-world charm of the village of Lefkara and the urban energy of Nicosia and Limassol, the country has a magical aesthetic that beautifully complements the emotional world of my film.”

Having given some of the industry’s biggest hit tracks, including ‘Hangover’, ‘High Heel’, ‘Pink Lips’, ‘Boss’, ‘Party Toh Banti Hai’ et al, Meet Bros are now set to create the same magic in film production. Harmeet Singh expressed, “As music composers, we have spent years interacting with directors, producers and filmmakers, understanding storytelling and watching films come together from close quarters. Through that journey, we met Anjali and instantly connected over the kind of cinema we believe in. We have always felt that music and cinema are deeply connected, and stepping into film production felt like the natural next chapter for us. With Yantra Films, we want to create stories that are entertaining, emotionally honest and capable of connecting with audiences across every background.”

Added Manmeet Singh, “Meet Bros may be synonymous with Bollywood, but our hearts beat for India. We are extremely proud to be partnering with Cyprus and grateful for the support extended by the country and its people. This is only the beginning for us… we already have another film planned in Cyprus, and we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead!”

The unveiling evening began with a soulful Bharatnatyam dance performance by Apeksha Niranjan and concluded on a high note with an electrifying live performance by Meet Bros.

New Delhi [India], May 14: Rare Long-Form Discussion Explores Karna’s Psychological Conflict, Parashurama’s Curse, Kunti’s Promise and the Forgotten Emotional Depth of Sanskrit Dramatic Literature

Long before arrows pierced his body on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Karna had already been wounded by fate, silence, rejection and unbearable moral conflict.

It is precisely this inner fracture — rather than the spectacle of war itself — that ancient Sanskrit dramatist Mahakavi Bhāsa captured in his extraordinary play “Karnabharam,” one of the most emotionally layered dramatic interpretations of Karna in classical Indian literature.

Now, in what is being viewed as among the very few long-form YouTube discussions dedicated to Bhāsa’s “Karnabharam,” Mahabharata textual researcher and Indic epic analyst Varun Gupta, through his rapidly growing digital platform GrahRahasya Decoded (https://www.youtube.com/@GrahRahasyaDecoded) , has brought this rare Sanskrit dramatic work into contemporary public conversation through a deeply researched and emotionally charged podcast discussion.

The complete long-form discussion is available on Varun Gupta’s research platform GrahRahasya Decoded, where viewers can watch the detailed exploration titled “Bhāsa’s Karnabharam” — A Deep Mahabharata Discussion on Karna’s Inner Conflict (https://youtu.be/GDLB7BKMm7U?si=U6CohdkkuY8KWTOQ)

At a time when large sections of younger audiences encounter Mahabharata primarily through television adaptations, short-form mythology content and simplified social media narratives, such efforts are increasingly being recognized as important attempts to reconnect modern viewers with India’s classical literary consciousness and intellectual traditions.

Beyond Television Narratives: Returning to India’s Classical Literary Sources

According to Varun Gupta, one of the greatest problems in modern Mahabharata discourse is that audiences often inherit fixed judgments about epic characters without ever engaging directly with India’s own textual and literary traditions.

While Karna remains one of the most emotionally debated figures in Indian epic literature, Gupta argues that much of the modern conversation surrounding him remains trapped between simplistic glorification and equally superficial condemnation.

Bhāsa’s “Karnabharam,” however, approaches Karna very differently.

Rather than presenting him merely as a heroic warrior or tragic victim, the Sanskrit play transforms Karna into a study of interior collapse — a man crushed beneath:

·loyalty,

·promises,

·rejection,

·memory,

·curses,

·identity,

·and the unbearable moral tension of standing against his own brothers.

The discussion examines how Karna enters Kurukshetra carrying not only celestial weapons, but also:

·Parashurama’s curse,

·the Brahmin curse,

·Kunti’s revelation,

·the promise to spare four Pandavas,

·and the emotional isolation of standing between gratitude and destiny.

“Karna’s tragedy was not born on the battlefield alone — it was carried silently within him long before Kurukshetra began,” says Varun Gupta during the discussion.

Perhaps that is why Karna continues to haunt Indian civilizational memory centuries later — not because he was flawless, but because he remained painfully human.

Bhāsa’s Karna vs Vyasa’s Karna: A Literary and Psychological Reinterpretation

One of the most intellectually compelling dimensions of the podcast is its comparison between the Karna of Bhāsa’s Sanskrit dramatic imagination and the Karna encountered in Vyasa’s Mahabharata.

Unlike Vyasa’s expansive epic narration, Bhāsa compresses Karna’s suffering into psychological theatre. The battlefield itself almost disappears into the background; what emerges instead is the emotional fragmentation of a warrior confronting his own destiny.

In “Karnabharam,” Karna becomes:

·a meditation on loneliness,

·a symbol of civilizational tragedy,

·and a profoundly human figure torn between dharma, gratitude, pride, emotional suffering and self-awareness.

The podcast also explores how Sanskrit dramatists often emphasized emotional and philosophical intensity differently from later retellings, thereby preserving alternate dimensions of epic characters frequently overlooked in mainstream storytelling.

The discussion further touches upon:

·Karna psychology,

·battlefield ethics,

·Karna and Kunti,

·Krishna’s strategic role before the war,

·regional manuscript traditions,

·Tamil literary interpretations,

·and the philosophical depth embedded within classical Sanskrit drama.

Reopening India’s Forgotten Sanskrit Literary Conversations

A major theme emerging from the discussion is Varun Gupta’s appeal for greater respect toward India’s regional manuscript traditions, Sanskrit dramatic literature and vernacular epic traditions.

According to Gupta, an enormous portion of India’s literary heritage remains overshadowed by English summaries, commercial adaptations and highly simplified internet interpretations that rarely engage seriously with primary Indic sources.

“Our Sanskrit plays, regional manuscripts and classical Indic literary traditions deserve serious recognition,” Gupta states. “There exists an entire ocean of Mahabharata knowledge beyond television serials and algorithm-driven mythology content. If we truly wish to understand these epics, we must return not only to translations, but also to the literary voices preserved in Sanskrit, Tamil and regional traditions.”

The podcast highlights how regional epic traditions often preserve alternate emotional emphases, dramatic structures and philosophical interpretations rarely discussed in mainstream discourse.

This includes:

·alternate readings of Karna’s emotional conflict,

·different narrative emphases surrounding the Kavach-Kundal episode,

·and nuanced portrayals of Krishna’s strategic interventions before the war.

Beyond Mythology Content: The Rise of Research-Driven Epic Analysis on YouTube

What distinguishes GrahRahasya Decoded from conventional mythology channels is its consistent attempt to combine:

·Mahabharata textual analysis,

·Sanskrit references,

·Indic literary history,

·battlefield ethics,

·philosophical inquiry,

·regional traditions,

·manuscript-based discussion,

·and psychological interpretation
within a long-form digital format accessible to contemporary audiences.

Instead of reducing epic literature into simplistic hero-versus-villain binaries, the platform increasingly focuses on literary nuance, emotional realism and interpretive complexity.

Through GrahRahasya Decoded, Varun Gupta has steadily emerged as one of the few independent digital creators consistently attempting to merge Sanskrit textual inquiry, regional manuscript traditions and modern long-form storytelling within the Mahabharata research space.

Over recent years, the platform has gained increasing recognition among audiences seeking:

·research-oriented Mahabharata discussions,

·reference-based analysis,

·Sanskrit literary exploration,

·and deeper civilizational perspectives beyond entertainment-driven mythology content.

Reviving Ancient Indian Intellectual Traditions in the Digital Age

At its core, the “Karnabharam” discussion is not merely about Karna.

It is about rediscovering the emotional intelligence, philosophical sophistication and literary brilliance embedded within ancient Indian civilization itself.

It is a reminder that Sanskrit literature was never emotionally shallow storytelling. Rather, it possessed extraordinary ability to explore grief, trauma, silence, moral conflict and existential suffering with remarkable subtlety centuries ago.

In reviving Bhāsa’s “Karnabharam” for digital audiences, Varun Gupta and GrahRahasya Decoded are doing far more than discussing an ancient Sanskrit play.

They are reopening a forgotten dialogue between India’s classical literary past and a modern generation searching once again for intellectual depth beyond spectacle.

And in an age increasingly dominated by fast content and shrinking attention spans, such efforts may ultimately become more than digital discussions.

They may become acts of cultural recovery.

Historical fiction readers and lovers of Mughal-era intrigue have a compelling new title to explore with The Jhelum Betrayal, the much-awaited sequel to Daggers of Treason and the second installment in The Curse of The Mughals quartet series. Written against the dramatic backdrop of the Mughal Empire, the novel dives deep into the turbulent rise of Prince Khurram — the man who would later become Emperor Shah Jahan.

Drawing from extensive historical research while masterfully blending fact with fiction, The Jhelum Betrayal transports readers into an era marked by political conspiracies, royal rivalries, forbidden ambitions, and emotional betrayal.

The story unfolds during the reign of Emperor Jahangir, a ruler often remembered as much for his indulgence in wine and opium as for his imperial authority. Amid a court consumed by excess, shifting loyalties, and dangerous power struggles, a young and ambitious Prince Khurram emerges as a formidable force within the Mughal dynasty.

Khurram’s military campaign against Rana Amar Singh of Mewar becomes a turning point in his rise to prominence. Following his success in subjugating Mewar, he is declared the Wali Ahad — the heir apparent to the Mughal throne — after his elder brother Prince Khusrau rebels against Jahangir and suffers the brutal punishment of blinding for treachery.

(An illustration of Nurjahan and her mysterious past drawn from the novel.)

However, the Mughal court grows even more mysterious with the arrival of Nurjahan in 1611, after her marriage to Jahangir. The novel raises haunting questions surrounding her identity and past. Was she truly the widow of Sher Afghan, or was there a far deeper and darker mystery behind the woman who would become one of the most powerful figures in Mughal history?

The narrative intensifies with the shocking murder of Prince Khusrau at Burhanpur — allegedly orchestrated by the ambitious Khurram himself. This single act becomes the catalyst for a chain of betrayals, rebellions, and emotional fractures that eventually pit son against father.

In another defining moment of Mughal history, Khurram marries Arjumand Bano in 1612 — the woman immortalized in history as Mumtaz Mahal. Their union lays the emotional foundation for what would later become the legendary Taj Mahal, one of the world’s greatest monuments to love.

As the empire spirals through betrayal and ambition, Jahangir’s final years are portrayed with emotional depth — a lonely emperor alienated from his son, emotionally shattered, and surrounded by the calculated affection of the politically driven Nurjahan.

What truly sets The Jhelum Betrayal apart is its explosive finale, which promises to challenge conventional perceptions of Mughal history and leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew about the era.

Together, The Jhelum Betrayal and its prequel Daggers of Treason offer readers a gripping literary experience that uncovers the hidden layers of Mughal politics, dynastic conflicts, and personal tragedies. Rich in detail, suspense, and historical texture, the series stands out as an immersive journey into one of India’s most fascinating imperial periods.

 How a Kolhapur-based director is reshaping Indian historical cinema through Rudransh and OthBrok Production

In an era where quick visibility often overshadows substance, one filmmaker from Maharashtra is taking a different approach. Mandar Kadam, professionally known as Mandarr Kaadam, is carving out a distinctive space in Indian cinema — one defined not by hurried releases, but by meticulous research, visual storytelling, and long-term creative vision.

As director, writer, producer, and entrepreneur behind OthBrok Production, Kaadam represents a new generation of Indian filmmakers who see cinema as more than entertainment. For him, it is a discipline that demands preparation, historical rigor, and the patient construction of worlds that feel both credible and emotionally resonant.

From Fine Arts to Film: The Visual Foundation

Kaadam's journey began far from film sets. After completing his education at R.S. Gosavi Kalaniketan Mahavidyalaya in Kolhapur — a respected institution for fine arts in Maharashtra — he developed what would become the cornerstone of his filmmaking philosophy: a deep understanding of visual composition, mood, and design.

"His background in art is not incidental to his cinema," observes one industry colleague familiar with his work. "It shapes how he sees every frame, every character design, every historical costume. You can see it in the way he approaches Rudransh — this isn't decoration. It's structure."

The Brand Development Years: Learning to Build Ideas

Before fully transitioning to cinema, Kaadam spent formative years working in brand development and creative strategy. This phase, often overlooked in profiles of filmmakers, proved essential in shaping his approach to storytelling and audience engagement.

In brand development, Kaadam learned how ideas are refined, tested, and presented to audiences. He came to understand that creative work and commercial clarity are not opposing forces — they are two parts of a single process. This insight would later inform how he positions his films, builds his production house, and crafts narratives that are both artistically serious and publicly legible.

Rudransh: A Historical Film Built on Scholarship

At the center of Mandarr Kaadam's current work is Rudransh, a historical film project developed under OthBrok Production. The project has drawn attention not for spectacle alone, but for its insistence on historical depth and visual authenticity.

Kaadam's approach to Rudransh reflects a filmmaker who respects the complexity of historical storytelling. Rather than treating history as backdrop, he treats it as structure — something that requires consultation with scholars, examination of manuscripts, and engagement with the decades-long work of Indian historians who have dedicated their careers to archival research, battlefield documentation, and oral history preservation.

"There are historians in India who have spent 30, 40, even 50 years studying single events, single regions, single dynasties," Kaadam has noted in industry conversations. "Their work deserves to be honored in how we build these stories on screen. Historical cinema is not just about costumes and swords. It's about credibility."

A Filmmaker With an Entrepreneurial Lens

What sets Kaadam apart in the Indian independent film landscape is his dual identity as filmmaker and entrepreneur. Through OthBrok Production, he has built an infrastructure that allows for sustained creative development — a rarity in an industry often dependent on project-by-project financing.

Industry observers note that Kaadam's entrepreneurial discipline shows in his project timelines. Where many independent filmmakers announce projects that vanish within months, Kaadam's development of Rudransh has been steady, methodical, and transparent about the time required to do historical storytelling properly.

"He's not rushing to release," says a collaborator familiar with the production. "He's building something that can last. That's rare."

Looking Ahead: A Model for Thoughtful Cinema

As the Indian film industry continues to expand its global reach, filmmakers like Mandarr Kaadam represent a crucial counterbalance to the pressure for constant output. His work suggests that there is space — and audience appetite — for cinema built on research, visual literacy, and respect for historical scholarship.

With Rudransh moving through production and OthBrok Production establishing itself as a serious creative enterprise, Kaadam's journey offers a model for emerging filmmakers: one where artistic foundation, intellectual rigor, and entrepreneurial sustainability are not contradictory, but complementary.

For a filmmaker from Kolhapur quietly building a body of work that values substance over speed, the path ahead looks deliberate — and promising.

About Mandarr Kaadam Mandar Kadam (Mandarr Kaadam) is a director, writer, producer and entrepreneur based in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He is the founder of OthBrok Production and is currently developing Rudransh, a historical film project. His work is characterized by research-driven storytelling, visual design literacy, and respect for historical scholarship.

The story of Antas 2 unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Rajasthan — the bustling streets of Jaipur, the serene lakes of Rajsamand, and the picturesque waters of Udaipur. It narrates a simple yet touching tale of love. Shreya Khanna plays a young woman who arrives in Jaipur in search of her beloved and crosses paths with a humble taxi driver, portrayed by Alok Bhardwaj.

Writer Mahesh Runiwal described the film as a beautiful fusion of Bollywood storytelling and Rajasthan’s rich cultural essence. He highlighted how the authentic locations played a vital role in bringing the narrative to life.

Guests at the premiere praised Surendra Swami’s clear vision and the natural performances delivered by the lead pair. Many noted that the film successfully captures the warmth and innocence of a pure love story.

Following the grand response at the Jaipur premiere, the team expressed confidence in the film’s wider appeal. Producer Suresh Kumar also reiterated the commitment to continue filmmaking in Rajasthan and to encourage local talent in the future.

Aushim Khetarpal Backs ‘Children of God’; Sai Baba Filmmaker Turns Spotlight on Identity and Acceptance

The first poster of the upcoming Hindi film Children of God has been unveiled, marking a significant new chapter for Aushim Khetarpal—widely known for his work on Sai Baba–based films and television content. With this project, Khetarpal shifts from spiritual storytelling to a hard-hitting social narrative, bringing focus to themes of identity, rejection, and acceptance within the LGBTQIA+ community.

The film has been made under the guidance of Aushim Khetarpal—an actor and spiritual influencer known for backing socially relevant cinema. He has also been associated with projects based on Sai Baba, reflecting his inclination towards meaningful and inspirational storytelling.

Speaking about the film, Khetarpal said, “Children of God is not just a film—it represents countless unheard voices. It highlights that identity is not defined by society but discovered within. Accepting oneself is the greatest act of courage.”

Directed by Ashish Saxena, the film tells the story of Amit, a young man who faces rejection from his family and society due to his identity. In search of survival and anonymity, he moves to Bhopal, where he finds acceptance within a transgender community and begins to embrace his true self as Amita. However, just as life begins to offer hope, a betrayal threatens to disrupt his journey, until a chance encounter with a mentor helps him rediscover inner strength and self-worth.

The screenplay and dialogues are penned by Rajan Lyallpuri, while the music has been composed by Raja Ali, Rupesh Mishra, and Akshay Raju Saxena. The film features Aushim Khetarpal along with Akash Verma, who plays the dual role of Amit/Amita, and Raadhika Khetarpal in the lead. The supporting cast includes Sarthak Kapoor, Prince Rajeev, NK Singh, Bhavya Singh, Raj Chaudhary, Ranesha Agarwal, Abhishek Sinha, Shobhna Khatri, and Annu Sharma.

Positioned as a social drama with elements of inspiration and coming-of-age storytelling, Children of God aims to highlight issues of identity, dignity, and human rights through an emotionally engaging narrative.

In a thoughtfully curated engagement that blended inspiration with practical insight, renowned author, entrepreneur, columnist, and interior design enthusiast Twinkle Khanna engaged with aspiring designers in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating session at NIF Global Mumbai – Andheri Platinum Centre.

Dehradun's famous YouTuber and Bigg Boss 17 contestant Anurag Dobhal, known as UK07 Rider, has shared a deeply emotional video recently. In it, he reveals alleged mental torture by his family and discloses that he attempted suicide. Anurag described this as his "last vlog," in which he leveled serious accusations against his parents and brother.

Incident Details: Anurag uploaded a nearly two-hour-long video on Instagram, where he breaks down in tears while recounting his ordeal. He stated, "My death is the responsibility of Mom, Dad, Kalam (my brother), and Shreya. I have nothing left to do. I am in deep depression. I don't understand how to eliminate this feeling. After this video, I might disappear. I just want to sleep. I haven't eaten anything for five days; my mind feels completely exhausted." In the video, he also revealed that he tried to commit suicide just a day before his wedding but couldn't muster the courage.

Cause of Family Dispute: Anurag explained that his inter-caste marriage to his girlfriend Ritika led to the family breaking him mentally. Six days before the wedding, his parents decided not to attend, leaving him to handle everything alone. He alleged that he transferred all his property and earnings to his mother's name, yet the family evicted him from home, financially ruined him, and subjected him to emotional abuse. Anurag said, "I begged, held their feet, but nothing happened. They don't leave me in a state worth living." Additionally, he claimed that his wife Ritika has left him.

Social Media Buzz: The video went viral, creating a massive stir on social media. Fans prayed for Anurag and blamed the family, while some dismissed it as drama. However, most sparked discussions on mental health issues. Earlier, Anurag had shared a note on Instagram warning that if anything happened to him, the family would be responsible.

Who is Anurag? UK07 Rider is renowned on YouTube for bike reviews, travel vlogs, and adventure content, with millions of subscribers. His appearance on Bigg Boss 17 skyrocketed his popularity. It's unclear if the incident occurred on the Meerut highway, but in the video, he openly shared his pain.

Latest Update: On March 7, 2026, Anurag went live on Instagram around 7 PM while driving in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut highway. Visibly emotional, he said, "Let's go for the final drive," before accelerating to nearly 150 kmph and crashing his car into the divider. The shocking footage went viral, raising alarms of a suicide attempt. Fortunately, updates confirm he is safe and his condition is stable, bringing relief to fans.

Message: If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, seek help immediately. In India, helplines include Kiran (1800-599-0019) or Vandrevala (1800-102-0019). Fans hope Anurag recovers soon.

राजपाल यादव ने बताया, "भारत में कैदी और सम्मानित व्यक्ति के बीच का फर्क समझने की समझ ही नहीं है।" उनका कहना है कि जैसे ही किसी का नाम किसी विवाद या नेगेटिव खबर से जुड़ता है, समाज तुरंत उस पर लेबल लगा देता है। यह सिर्फ सेलिब्रिटीज़ तक सीमित नहीं, बल्कि आम लोगों के साथ भी होता है जिनकी परेशानियां या संघर्ष पब्लिक हो जाते हैं।

एक्टर ने आगे कहा कि ऐसी जल्दबाजी भरी निंदा से न सिर्फ व्यक्ति की इज्जत पर बट्टा लगता है, बल्कि उन लोगों के प्रति सहानुभूति भी खत्म हो जाती है जो शायद निर्दोष हों या जिनकी कहानी में कई पहलू हों। आरोप लगना और दोष साबित होना दो अलग-अलग बातें हैं, लेकिन सोशल मीडिया के इस तेज दौर में लोग सेकंडों में राय बना लेते हैं—अक्सर अधूरी या सनसनीखेज खबरों के आधार पर।

राजपाल यादव ने खुद के अनुभव साझा करते हुए कहा कि कई बार पब्लिक की धारणा हकीकत से बिल्कुल अलग होती है। उन्होंने लोगों से अपील की कि किसी भी व्यक्ति पर फैसला सुनाने से पहले पूरी तस्वीर समझें, तथ्यों पर गौर करें और सहानुभूति रखें।

यह बयान बॉलीवुड में मीडिया ट्रायल, सोशल शेमिंग और पब्लिक स्क्रूटनी के बढ़ते ट्रेंड के बीच आया है। कई लोग राजपाल यादव के इस विचार से सहमत हुए हैं और इसे जागरूकता बढ़ाने वाला बताया है, जबकि कुछ का मानना है कि पब्लिक फिगर होने की वजह से स्क्रूटनी तो बर्दाश्त करनी ही पड़ती है।

कुल मिलाकर, राजपाल यादव का यह संदेश काफी विचारणीय है—कि एक स्वस्थ समाज में आरोप और सिद्ध दोष में फर्क समझना बहुत जरूरी है, ताकि निर्दोषों को भी अनावश्यक दर्द न झेलना पड़े।

On the eve of Bihu Festival Producer Prabir Kanta Saha presents a powerful and socially relevant film with Bihu Attack, a project that courageously brings the issues of Assam, national security, and cultural identity into the cinematic spotlight. Set against the vibrant yet emotionally charged backdrop of the Bihu Festival, the film blends patriotism, human emotion, and high-stakes drama into a compelling narrative rooted in reality.

Designed as more than just a thriller, Bihu Attack reflects the deep connection between a region and the nation it belongs to. The film aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced in the North-East while celebrating unity, education, and social integration as the strongest weapons against extremism.

The film stars Dev Menaria , Daisy Shah, Arbaaz Khan, and Rahul Dev in prominent parts. The narrative is further strengthened by impactful performances from Raza Murad, Yukti Kapoor, Amiee Misobbah (Amiee Nazma Sultana), Hiten Tejwani, Mir Sarwar, Dimpu Baruah, Kalindri Das, Crosswell Timung, Jeet Raidut, and Amit Lekhwani, all playing important roles that add depth and authenticity to the story.

Bihu Attack tells the story of Raj Kunwar, a courageous and determined court martial officer from Assam, who dedicates his life to persuading various terrorist groups in the region to surrender and join the mainstream. A firm believer in education and social integration, Raj works closely with local communities, striving to build trust and guide misguided youth back into the system.

A widower living with his young daughter Driti, Raj Kunwar is admired for his inclusive outlook and rare ability to connect with people from all walks of life. However, his mission takes a dangerous turn when intelligence reports reveal a major terrorist attack planned during the Bihu Festival, coinciding with the visit of the Defence Minister to Assam.

Speaking about the film, producer Prabir Kanta Saha said: “Bihu Attack is very close to my heart. It is not just a film, but a reflection of Assam’s reality, its culture, and its people’s love for the nation. Through this story, we wanted to show that education, unity, and humanity are stronger than fear and violence. This film is our tribute to the brave forces and the spirit of Assam.”

With its strong patriotic core, culturally rich setting, and gripping narrative, Bihu Attack promises to be a meaningful cinematic experience that connects regional stories with national emotions

Bihu Attack is produced under the banner of PKS Film Production House, with Prabir Kanta Saha serving as the producer. The film is directed by Suzad Iqbal Khan, whose vision brings together realism, emotional depth, and intense storytelling.

As paparazzi swarmed Dhoni's luxury vehicle to capture glimpses of the former captain, one video clip zoomed inside the car, revealing a packet of cigarettes placed on the rear armrest. Dhoni was seated in the front passenger seat, while Sakshi and another individual occupied the back. The footage quickly spread across platforms, igniting heated discussions among fans.

Many users questioned whether the packet belonged to Dhoni, given his status as a role model for millions of young fans. Others defended him, emphasizing that it's his personal choice and privacy should be respected—especially since there's no confirmation of ownership. Some pointed out that the car could have been shared or the item belonging to someone else present.

This isn't the first time Dhoni's off-field habits have sparked curiosity. Former teammates have shared stories of him enjoying hookah sessions during IPL team bonding, describing his room as always open for relaxed gatherings. Post-retirement videos from Dubai showing him with a hookah have also circulated widely in the past.

Dhoni, widely regarded as one of India's greatest captains, led the national team to victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy. His calm demeanor earned him the nickname "Captain Cool," and he maintains a massive fanbase even after stepping away from international cricket.

Salman Khan and Dhoni share a well-known friendship, often seen supporting each other at events. The birthday bash was an intimate affair, with guests including Bobby Deol, Ram Charan, Sanjay Dutt, Karisma Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, and others. Photos of Salman chatting with Dhoni and others went viral for positive reasons, highlighting their bond.

As of now, neither Dhoni nor his team has commented on the video. Social media remains divided: some call it unnecessary scrutiny, while others debate the influence on youth. Ultimately, the incident underscores the intense spotlight on celebrities' private lives.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

1. When and where was the viral video of MS Dhoni's car taken? The video is from December 27, 2025, during Salman Khan's 60th birthday party at his Panvel farmhouse in Maharashtra.

2. Is it confirmed that the cigarette packet belongs to MS Dhoni? No, there is no confirmation. Dhoni was in the front seat, and the packet was visible on the rear armrest near Sakshi Dhoni and another passenger. It could belong to anyone in the vehicle.

3. What are the past rumors about Dhoni and smoking? Dhoni has been linked to hookah sessions, with former teammates mentioning team bonding over hookah during IPL. Videos of him enjoying hookah in Dubai after retirement have also gone viral previously.

4. What was the reaction on social media to this video? Reactions are mixed—some fans criticized it citing his role model status, while many defended his privacy, calling it a personal matter and unnecessary hype.

5. Who else attended Salman Khan's 60th birthday party? It was a private gathering with guests like Bobby Deol, Ram Charan, Sanjay Dutt, Karisma Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Genelia Deshmukh, Rakul Preet Singh, and others, along with family members.

This phenomenal start also establishes Coolie as the all-time biggest overseas opener among Tamil films, surpassing the previous record held by Leo ($8.08 million). Additionally, it ranks as the second-highest opening day gross internationally for an Indian production overall, trailing only behind the iconic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the opening day performance across key overseas markets:

Total Overseas Opening Day Gross: $8.76 Million (approximately ₹76.8 Crores)

This record-shattering performance underscores Rajinikanth's enduring global appeal and the strong anticipation surrounding this high-octane action entertainer.

A video from a Coldplay concert earlier in 2025 highlighted the harsh side of online scrutiny. What started as a fun kiss cam segment featuring a tech executive turned into widespread memes, speculation, and intense backlash, ultimately contributing to professional fallout for those involved.

The damage was done quickly, with interpretations spreading faster than any later explanations. A single fleeting clip, amplified endlessly, reshaped public perception.

This dynamic has resurfaced in the Indian entertainment scene, now involving actress Tara Sutaria. At AP Dhillon's recent Mumbai concert on December 26, Tara was called onstage, where she shared a warm hug with the Punjabi singer and received a peck on the cheek. The pair then vibed together, performing a segment of their collaboration track.

On the surface, it appeared as a playful, celebratory interaction typical of energetic live performances. But within hours, the narrative shifted dramatically on social platforms.

The turning point was footage capturing Veer Pahariya, Tara's boyfriend, in the audience. As the camera focused on him during the moment, his facial cues drew massive attention.

Netizens debated intensely: Did he seem bothered, awkward, or simply neutral? Slow-motion replays, close-ups, and endless commentary flooded feeds, with users projecting their own conclusions onto those brief seconds.

The buzz comes at a time when Tara's professional slate has been relatively low-key. Her last significant project was a couple of years ago, and fans are awaiting her role in the upcoming action drama Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, starring alongside Yash.

In the meantime, digital platforms continue to propel her into trends—not always tied to her on-screen work. It's a reminder of modern celebrity life: a spontaneous stage highlight can overshadow ongoing efforts in an instant.

The incident stemmed from a lighthearted prank that escalated into unintended hurt. In the previous episode, Amaal and fellow contestant Shehbaz orchestrated a mischievous hide-and-seek game, concealing everyday essentials like sugar and salt, along with personal items belonging to other housemates—including Baseer Ali's towel and clothes. The stunt sparked widespread frustration and suspicion inside the house, with everyone pointing fingers at the culprits. Shehbaz eventually stepped forward, owning up as the mastermind and offering apologies that diffused the immediate tension. Amaal, however, stayed quiet at the time, letting the moment pass without full disclosure.

But the weight of secrecy caught up with him in the recent episode. During a heartfelt confrontation, Amaal finally came clean to Baseer, admitting his involvement in the prank. Visibly emotional, he repeatedly sought forgiveness, saying, "Ek baar dekh kar sach mein maaf kar dena." Baseer, caught off guard by the revelation, shared his shock, noting he never suspected Amaal of being part of it. The exchange laid bare the trust that had been tested, turning what started as fun into a moment of genuine remorse.

Shehbaz, who had been Amaal's partner in the prank, was quick to console him as tears flowed uncontrollably. "Itna..." he began, offering words of support in a bid to steady his friend amid the breakdown. This display of solidarity underscored the bonds forming despite the game's cutthroat nature.

The emotions peaked further during a tense voting round, where Baseer opened up about feeling deeply betrayed. Despite viewing Amaal as a close friend, he was stung by the lack of support when it mattered most. "Ek vote bhi nahi aaya merko saving mein," Baseer vented, expressing disappointment that no one, including Amaal, had stepped in to save him from potential eviction. His words hung heavy, revealing the sting of perceived abandonment in the high-stakes environment.

This episode of Bigg Boss 19 serves as a reminder of the show's deeper layers—where pranks can fracture friendships, apologies mend them, and breakdowns humanize the contestants. As the season progresses, these interactions will likely shape alliances and rivalries, keeping viewers hooked on the unpredictable journey inside the house. For fans, it's a testament to why the series endures: not just for the fights, but for the real feelings that emerge.

The show is divided into two segments—Basement and Penthouse—where contestants showcase their strategies. Amidst the gameplay, the growing chemistry between Pawan Singh and Dhanashree Verma has become a major highlight. In recent episodes, Pawan Singh has been frequently praising Dhanashree, sparking interest among viewers.

Pawan Singh’s Admiration for Dhanashree

Pawan Singh has openly complimented Dhanashree’s eyes, voice, and dance moves on multiple occasions. He recently made a special request, asking her to wear a saree and apply a bindi. A viral video circulating on social media further showcases Pawan Singh’s fondness for Dhanashree, where he praises her lipstick and reiterates his request for her to wear a bindi.

“I’ll Leave All Work to Come to This House”

Taking it a step further, Pawan Singh urged the show’s makers to send a saree and bindi for Dhanashree to the Penthouse, even offering to cover the cost himself. In response, Dhanashree promised that if she stays in the show for three weeks, she will wear traditional Indian attire. Pawan Singh enthusiastically replied, “I’m telling you, the day you wear Indian attire, I’ll leave all my work and come to this house.” Their interactions have added an intriguing layer to the show, keeping viewers hooked.

The conflict began when Amal, tasked with reshuffling house responsibilities, attempted to assert control in the kitchen. His approach led to a heated argument with Kunika, during which he reportedly used derogatory remarks, including calling her “bail buddhi ki aulaad” (offspring of a senseless person). Gauahar, who has been closely following the season, took to X to express her disapproval. In her post, she wrote, “Amal should focus on the legacy he comes from and claims to represent. Abusing someone’s father behind their back is still abuse. ‘Bail buddhi ki aulaad’?????? Really low. And then claiming it was just said in the air to console himself. I hope he’s removed from his captaincy in this Weekend Ka Vaar! #bb19.” Amal’s defense—that he was merely “talking to the air”—failed to quell the backlash.

Gauahar’s statement sparked a polarized response online. Some fans rallied behind her, condemning Amal’s behavior. One X user remarked, “He’s not just tarnishing his own image but also dragging the entire Malik family down. I hope Salman Khan gives him a stern warning on the show.” Others, however, criticized Gauahar, with one user calling her “jobless” and accusing her of preaching every season. Another commented, “Everyone uses abusive language. You’re a cheap woman,” highlighting the divided sentiments among viewers.

The controversy comes at a time when Gauahar is celebrating a personal milestone. On September 1, 2025, she welcomed her second child, a son, adding to her joy as a mother. Professionally, she was last seen in Lovely Lola alongside Esha Malviya, continuing to balance her career and public presence. As Bigg Boss 19 heads toward its next Weekend Ka Vaar, all eyes are on host Salman Khan to see how he addresses Amal’s conduct and whether Gauahar’s call for his removal from captaincy will gain traction. The incident underscores the intense emotions and rivalries that define the Bigg Boss house, keeping audiences hooked.

Veteran actor Anupam Kher shared a personal anecdote, recalling his first meeting with Modi when he was Gujarat’s Chief Minister. “You welcomed me with such warmth and respect,” Kher said, reminiscing about Modi attending a special screening of his film A Wednesday in Ahmedabad with his entire cabinet. Kher praised Modi’s fearlessness, honesty, and sense of humor, noting, “I’m inspired by you not just as a Prime Minister, but as a person and a guide.”

Aamir Khan also joined the chorus of admiration, highlighting Modi’s contributions to India’s growth. “Your work for the nation’s progress will always be remembered,” Khan said, wishing the Prime Minister a long life and strength to lead India toward prosperity. Similarly, Ajay Devgn reflected on meeting Modi during his tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, commending his consistent vision and fearless leadership. “India is making its mark globally, and your contribution is immense,” Devgn added.

South Indian superstar Mahesh Babu praised Modi’s lifelong dedication to public service. “Your vision and commitment instill pride in every Indian, motivating us to dream bigger,” he said, wishing the Prime Minister good health and continued success. Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, known for RRR, celebrated Modi’s vigor and global impact. “At 75, you look like 50,” Rajamouli remarked, applauding Modi’s foreign policies that have positioned India as a confident global power.

Born on September 17, 1950, in Mehsana, Gujarat, Narendra Modi’s journey from humble beginnings to India’s Prime Minister is a testament to his resilience and vision. His tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014 was marked by transformative economic growth and governance reforms, laying the foundation for his national leadership.

As tributes poured in, the overwhelming sentiment was clear: Modi’s leadership continues to inspire millions, both in India and beyond. His ability to connect personally with citizens and project India’s strength globally remains a hallmark of his legacy, celebrated warmly on this milestone birthday. 

“I never thought I’d be out so soon,” Nagma wrote, reflecting on her brief but impactful journey. “Apologies to my fans if I disappointed them. I wasn’t at my best health-wise, but even in that, I discovered so much about myself.” Despite her early departure, she described the experience as one of the biggest opportunities of her life, filled with lessons she’ll carry forever. The influencer entered the Bigg Boss 19 house on the premiere night of August 24, 2024, alongside her partner, Awez Darbar, who continues to compete in the show.

In her post, Nagma expressed gratitude for the memories made inside the Bigg Boss house. “Every laugh, every tear, every silence, and every memory will always stay close to my heart,” she shared, adding that she’ll miss the unique experience of living in the iconic house. She also gave a shoutout to the “amazing souls” who made her journey special and voiced her support for Awez, confidently stating, “I can’t wait to see him shine the way I know he will.”

Nagma’s emotional message resonated deeply with her fans, whom she thanked for their unwavering support. “This journey was mine, but you made it feel like ours,” she wrote, acknowledging the fan-made edits that moved her to tears. Concluding on a hopeful note, she said, “This isn’t an end, it’s just a chapter I’ll forever cherish. Alhamdulillah.”

As Nagma steps away from the Bigg Boss spotlight, her fans continue to rally behind her, celebrating her resilience and authenticity. While her time in the house was cut short, her heartfelt words show that the experience has left an indelible mark on her life, and she remains grateful for the love and prayers that carried her through.

In a post on her official Instagram Story, Kajal wrote, "I've come across some baseless reports claiming that I was in an accident (and am no longer in this world), and honestly, it's quite amusing because it's completely untrue."

She further added, "By the grace of God, I want to assure you all that I am absolutely fine, safe, and doing very well. I humbly request everyone not to believe or spread such false news. Let's focus on positivity and truth."

For the unversed, Kajal Aggarwal is currently enjoying a vacation in the Maldives. She has been there for a month, regularly sharing stunning pictures from the location. On the work front, Kajal appeared in the films Sikandar and Kannappa this year. In the coming days, she is set to star in The India Story, Indian 3, Ramayana: Part 1, and Ramayana: Part 2. In the Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi-starrer Ramayana series, Kajal will portray the character of Mandodari. She has previously played mythological roles in several films, including the role of Parvati in Kannappa.

On Instagram Stories, Akshay Kumar shared, “Word is that Baaghi 4 is a full-throttle action spectacle. Wishing the best to my buddies Sajid, Tiger Shroff, and Sunit Morarjee—go light up the screens!” Although Akshay hasn’t seen the film yet, he’s hearing positive buzz.

However, reviews on X paint a mixed picture. One user commented, “Sanjay Dutt’s entry at the interval is just a teaser. The first half drags, stretching what could’ve been a tight 20-30 minutes. Only one big action scene before the break—hoping the second half picks up.” Another post criticized, “#SonamBajwa and #ShreyasTalpade are underutilized ?. Too many pointless songs and a sluggish screenplay in parts. ?”

On the brighter side, a viewer noted, “#Baaghi4 First Half: Strong setup with a gripping narrative ? Sanjay Dutt’s twist at the interval sparks intrigue for what’s to come. Excited for the second half! ??.” Another praised, “#TigerShroff delivers a career-defining act, nailing the emotional beats. ? #SanjayDutt is phenomenal as the antagonist—dark, commanding, and unforgettable.”

A detailed review stated, “A decent one-time watch driven by Tiger Shroff’s electrifying action sequences. He brings his A-game, carrying the film with sheer intensity. The stunts are the standout, but the storyline feels flimsy, and the second half slows down, becoming predictable at times.”

You May Like ACTION-PACKED. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ A fun, one-time watch fueled by Tiger Shroff’s dynamic performance and thrilling action. The stunts steal the show, but the plot lacks depth. #Baaghi4Review

— CineAlpha (@CineAlpha1) September 5, 2025

Another user raved, “Baaghi 4 is India’s most ferocious and intense action thriller. From its gritty visuals and pulsating score to the raw, brutal fight scenes, vengeance, and sheer chaos, everything is executed with flair.” Meanwhile, another post shared, “Surprisingly better than expected. The first half is solid, though it leans on familiar Baaghi 2 vibes with a thin backstory. #TigerShroff has grown as an actor, shining in emotional moments.”

Delhi Diaries: Chole Bhature Indulgence

While exploring the streets of Delhi, Sidharth and Janhvi took a break from their busy promotional schedule to savour the city’s favourite dish. In the video, both actors can be seen enjoying the puffed-up bhature with sheer delight, poking the bread with their fingers before digging in—a sight that instantly resonated with their fans.

• Janhvi Kapoor’s Look: The actress stunned in a blue printed saree paired with a strappy blouse. She completed her look with a pearl kamarband adorned with golden flowers, a matching choker, bangles, and dainty earrings. Her open hair and minimal glam added to the elegance.

• Sidharth Malhotra’s Style: The actor kept it casual and relatable, donning a light-yellow shirt with loose-fit blue jeans, embodying true “Delhi ka munda” vibes.

Lucknow Stop: Street Food Extravaganza

Before reaching Delhi, the Param Sundari stars were in Lucknow, where they relished the city’s signature basket chaat. Videos shared online show Janhvi enjoying the tangy treat while warmly interacting with fans, while Sidharth praised the chaat, calling it “superb.”

About Param Sundari

Directed by Tushar Jalota (known for Dasvi), Param Sundari is a heartfelt cross-cultural love story. The film narrates the romance between a North Indian boy and a South Indian girl, highlighting the beauty and challenges when two different worlds come together.

Release Date

Param Sundari, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, is slated to hit theatres on August 29, 2025. The film promises a refreshing take on love that goes beyond cultural boundaries.

After five years of being banned in India, TikTok’s official website is accessible again for some users, sparking speculation about the short-video platform’s possible return. TikTok, owned by ByteDance, was banned in June 2020 along with 58 other Chinese apps due to national security concerns.

TikTok Website Accessible, But App Still Blocked

Several users reported that TikTok’s website is loading in India, though the app remains unavailable on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Some users also noted that not all subpages are accessible, suggesting it may be a limited or phased rollout.

So far, there has been no official confirmation from TikTok or ByteDance about a relaunch in India.

Why Was TikTok Banned in India?

In June 2020, the Indian government banned TikTok along with apps such as Shareit, CamScanner, Mi Video Call, and Club Factory. The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) stated that these apps posed threats to India’s sovereignty, integrity, defence, and public order.

The decision came amid escalating tensions with China after the Galwan Valley clashes, which left several Indian soldiers dead. The ban dealt a massive blow to ByteDance, which instantly lost access to its 200 million Indian users.

Geopolitical Shifts Since 2020

Since then, India and China have engaged in 24 rounds of talks to reduce border tensions. Restrictions have eased, and flights between the two nations have resumed. Additionally, changing global trade dynamics, including tariffs from the U.S. under Donald Trump, have led to some thawing of India-China relations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month, adding fuel to the speculation around TikTok’s possible comeback.

Ali Express Also Back Online

It’s not just TikTok. Ali Express, the e-commerce platform owned by Alibaba Group, is also accessible through its website in India. However, similar to TikTok, the Ali Express app remains blocked.

Both TikTok and Ali Express were part of the 59 Chinese apps banned in 2020, and their websites resurfacing in India has sparked renewed debate about whether these platforms are preparing for an official return.

Why Bans Fail: A Lesson from History

Prohibitions often assume that making something illegal will erase demand. History shows otherwise. From alcohol prohibition in the United States to failed drug bans in India, demand only shifts underground.

Neuroscience explains this: gambling, like other risk-reward behaviors, triggers dopamine surges in the brain, making it addictive and difficult to eradicate. From Roman dice games to medieval wagers and even mythological tales of Yudhisthir, betting is embedded in human culture.

Whenever governments ban an activity, black markets rise. Porn restrictions fuel VPN use, drug bans create trafficking networks, and liquor bans encourage hooch tragedies. The same cycle now threatens India’s online gaming industry.

India’s Gaming Ban: A Self-Inflicted Economic Blow

India’s real-money gaming sector is worth $3.7 billion (AIGF, 2024) and employs over 200,000 professionals across IT, AI, design, and content development. More than 2,000 startups have emerged in the space, attracting ₹23,000–25,000 crore in FDI over five years.

Far from being a tax haven, the industry already contributes significantly to government coffers—nearly ₹20,000 crore annually in GST and income tax.

A blanket ban would:

• Shut down 400+ companies overnight
• Eliminate thousands of jobs in India’s startup and tech ecosystem
• Wipe out billions in legitimate tax revenue
• Push users to illegal offshore platforms, exposing them to fraud, money laundering, and even terror financing risks

In short, the ban is not just a moral overreach—it’s economic suicide.

Courts Have Already Rejected Such Bans

This is not India’s first attempt.

• Tamil Nadu (2020): A ban on online rummy and poker was struck down in 2021 by the Madras High Court as unconstitutional, violating the right to trade under Article 19(1)(g).

• Karnataka (2021): Its sweeping ban on online gaming met the same fate in 2022, with the High Court highlighting the government’s failure to distinguish between skill-based and chance-based games.

Despite these judgments, policymakers are once again walking into the same trap.

Addiction Is Real—But Bans Are Not the Cure

Yes, online gaming addiction is a real concern. But so are social media, e-commerce, and endless scrolling on short-video apps. Addiction is not a “moral crime” but a regulation failure.

Instead of being a “Big Daddy” imposing forced abstinence, the government should enable safeguards like:

• Age verification and parental controls
• Spending limits for minors and vulnerable users
• Mandatory warnings and cool-off periods
• Self-exclusion tools for addicted players
• Counselling and awareness campaigns

China’s experiment with restricting minors to three gaming hours per week only led to fake IDs, VPNs, and underground play. Addiction didn’t stop—it just moved elsewhere.

The Smarter Path: Regulate, Don’t Prohibit

Like the stock market, online gaming requires a dedicated regulator, not a blanket ban. A regulatory body could enforce responsible gaming measures, tax revenues effectively, and protect players while sustaining innovation.

Globally, regulation has worked better than prohibition. Countries with gaming regulators have balanced economic growth with player safety, while nations that tried bans ended up nurturing black markets.

Conclusion: Don’t Let the Game Slip Away

India has the opportunity to nurture a thriving digital gaming economy, creating jobs, driving innovation, and generating billions in revenue. A 2025 ban on real-money games would destroy all of this while failing to curb addiction.

Bans don’t stop the game—they just

 hand victory to illegal operators. The smarter play is regulation, not prohibition.

High-Level Task Force to Spearhead Reforms

PM Modi emphasized that the newly formed task force will prioritize transformative changes, particularly in the tax system. “We have decided to establish a task force to implement next-generation reforms. Our aim is to bring benefits to the public through comprehensive improvements across all sectors,” he stated during his speech.

‘Double Diwali’ Gift for the Nation

In a festive promise, the Prime Minister hinted at a major economic announcement before Diwali, describing it as a “Double Diwali” for citizens. He revealed that the government plans to significantly reduce GST rates on essential household items. “This Diwali, I will present a big gift to the nation. We will slash GST rates on daily-use goods to ease the burden on the common man,” Modi declared.

GST Review: A Need of the Hour

Highlighting the necessity of revising GST rates, PM Modi called it a “demand of the times.” He assured the nation that the government is working on a new generation of GST reforms aimed at reducing the tax burden, simplifying the tax structure, and enhancing transparency. These changes are expected to make the system more citizen-friendly while maintaining economic stability.

GST’s Journey and Future Expectations

Introduced in 2017, GST was one of India’s most significant indirect tax reforms, unifying the country’s tax framework and promoting ease of doing business, especially for small and medium enterprises. Over the past eight years, GST has driven record revenue growth and improved transparency in tax collection.

Recent data reflects a surge in GST collections, alongside growing calls from businesses for further simplification. The proposed reforms are expected to address these demands while sustaining revenue growth, striking a balance between ease of compliance and fiscal stability.

A Message of Reform and Festivity

PM Modi’s announcement blends the promise of structural reforms with the joy of the festive season, signaling a transformative phase in India’s economic policies. As Diwali approaches, citizens and businesses alike eagerly await the “big gift” that could redefine the nation’s financial landscape

India’s foreign ministry swiftly condemned the US action, emphasizing that the country’s energy decisions are driven by market factors and the need to ensure energy security for its 1.4 billion citizens. “It is extremely unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest,” the ministry stated. It highlighted that the US had previously encouraged Russian oil imports early in the Ukraine conflict to stabilize global energy markets, making the current targeting of India inconsistent and unwarranted. The statement underscored India’s resolve to protect its economic and strategic priorities, signaling a robust yet measured pushback.

Earlier this month, when the initial 25% tariff was announced, India indicated it was studying the implications while remaining committed to securing a fair trade deal. The foreign ministry had pointed out that India is not alone in importing Russian goods, noting that Europe and the US continue to engage in trade with Russia in sectors like energy, fertilizers, chemicals, and uranium for nuclear industries. “The targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable,” the ministry had declared, emphasizing that India, like any major economy, would take necessary measures to safeguard its interests.

President Trump, however, has remained steadfast in his stance, singling out India while taking no similar actions against European nations or China for their Russian trade. In a recent CNBC interview, he accused India of “fuelling the war machine” through its oil purchases and warned of further tariff hikes. “India has not been a good trading partner,” Trump stated, announcing the additional tariff because “they’re buying Russian oil.” His executive order cites Russia’s actions as an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security and foreign policy, justifying the tariffs as a necessary response to India’s trade with Russia.

The 50% tariff is expected to significantly impact Indian exports to the US, valued at $81 billion in 2024, or 2% of India’s GDP. Key sectors such as textiles, auto components, tires, chemicals, agrochemicals, and cut and polished diamonds face higher costs, with estimates suggesting that up to 80% of India’s US-bound exports could lose competitiveness. The textile sector, for instance, could see effective tariffs rise from 6-9% to 31-34%, threatening MSME-led industries. This could widen the US-India trade imbalance and prompt supply chain reevaluations, potentially shaving 40 basis points off India’s 2025-26 GDP growth forecast of 6.4%.

India remains open to trade negotiations, with talks scheduled to resume on August 25, 2025. However, New Delhi is firm on protecting its agricultural sector, particularly small farmers, and resisting US demands on dairy and genetically modified crops. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has emphasized safeguarding MSMEs, while some Indian officials advocate a calm approach to preserve strategic ties with the US, a key partner in countering China. Global trade bodies, such as the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, warn of severe impacts on export-driven sectors, urging a balanced response.

The tariffs are part of Trump’s broader “reciprocal” trade policy under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, targeting 69 trading partners with rates from 10% to 41%. India’s 50% tariff matches Brazil’s and exceeds Canada’s 35%, raising concerns about economic coercion. Analysts suggest Trump’s strategy may be a negotiation tactic to extract concessions before the August 7 deadline, but India’s commitment to its energy security and national interests remains unwavering.
