Released on YouTube, the bhajan reflects the values of love, compassion, devotion, and selfless service that are closely associated with Baba's teachings. Through its lyrics and devotional composition, the song conveys a message of universal love and spiritual unity.

Neeb Karori Baba's influence extends far beyond India. His ashram at Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand has become a globally recognized spiritual destination, attracting devotees and seekers from across the world. Over the years, the saint's legacy has drawn international attention through its association with prominent figures such as Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom have spoken about the significance of Kainchi Dham in their spiritual journeys.

Speaking about the release, Narendra Kumar said, "‘Dil Main Hai Sabke’ is my humble offering at the sacred feet of Baba. His teachings remind us that love and service are universal values that connect people beyond all boundaries. Through this bhajan, I hope listeners experience the peace, faith, and compassion that continue to inspire millions of devotees."

The release follows the recent Foundation Day celebrations of Neeb Karori Baba, during which thousands of devotees gathered at Kainchi Dham and other associated centres to pay tribute to the revered saint.

With “Dil Main Hai Sabke,” Narendra Kumar aims to share Baba's timeless message with a wider audience through the medium of music while contributing to the preservation of India's rich spiritual and cultural heritage.

The bhajan is now available on YouTube.

SHAKIRA TO CO-HEADLINE THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™ FINAL HALFTIME SHOW

Miami, FL : Today, GRAMMY^® and Latin GRAMMY^® Award-winning artist Shakira and Burna Boy have released new track “Dai Dai” via Sony Music Latin. Listen HERE

Shakira will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026™Final Halftime Show on Sunday, July 19, alongside Madonna and BTS. For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, the final will feature a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

As announced today at Global Citizen NOW in New York, 'Dai Dai' will be the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise USD $100 million by end of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to provide children around the world with access to quality education and sports. Shakira is partnering with Global Citizen and FIFA to provide access to education for children in underserved communities with Shakira’s royalties from 'Dai Dai' being donated to the Education Fund, and Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation. Additionally, Shakira is donating $1 from every ticket sold to her upcoming 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' tour to the Education Fund.

“The World Cup is one of the few things the entire world experiences together,” said Burna Boy. “Football and music speak the same language. They bring people together no matter where you’re from and being part of this moment through music means a lot to me.” 

This summer, Shakira will hit the road for a special limited run of U.S. dates on her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, giving fans a rare chance to

see her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this summer. Tickets are available at shakira.com. In October, Shakira will headline a 11 night stadium European residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named ‘Shakira Stadium’ being built especially for her, and has already sold more than half a million tickets.

In early May, Shakira captivated an audience of more than 2 million fans at Copacabana Beach for this year’s Todo Mundo No Rio concert. Shakira, in a triumphant return to Brazil, where she first began her international touring career, addressed the crowd in Portuguese throughout the concert and played an electrifying set filled with her greatest hits spanning her entire career including “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Tortura,” and “La Bicicleta.” Shakira’s historic show paid homage to Brazil as she brought out special guests, including Anitta, for the debut performance of their new single “Choka Choka,” “O Leãozinho” with Caetano Veloso, “O Que É, O Que É” with Maria Bethânia and Unidos da Tijuca, “Waka Waka” with dance group Mare Dance, “Objection” with Unidos da Tijuca and “País Tropical” with Ivete Sangalo.

Known as being “the largest concert in the world,” Todo Mundo No Rio is a landmark event for Rio de Janeiro, celebrating music, culture, and community, for a completely free price tag. This dazzling spectacle shattered records, becoming one of the highest attended concerts of all time with 2 million plus people there to witness this historic moment. Shakira’s performance also broke the record, generating a large financial impact for the local economy, with a projected 800 million in economic benefits, including a 123% increase in travel bookings

Most recently, Zara Larsson tapped Shakira to collaborate with her on “Eurosummer” featured on the deluxe edition of her album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip.

On top of this, Shakira was crowned by Billboard this year as having the “highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time” with her recent Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, achieving a gross revenue of $421.6 million, inclusive of 82 stadium shows all across the US and Latin America with over 3.3 million people in attendance.

For Burna Boy, the collaboration marks another defining global moment in a career that continues to bridge music, sport, and culture on an unprecedented scale. Widely recognised as one of the most influential African artists of his generation, Burna Boy has become synonymous with stadium-level performance, global musical fusion, and the international rise of African music and culture. From headlining arenas and stadiums across the world to performing at the NBA All-Star Game and building major partnerships at the intersection of music and sport, Burna Boy continues to redefine what global African artistry looks like at the highest level. Burna Boy is currently in the midst of an expansive international run that continues to cement his position as one of the world’s leading live performers and cultural voices.

Featuring a cast of over 15 talented actors, the film is packed with powerful performances, impeccable comic timing, and memorable dialogues.The Title song of the movie, sung by the maestro Javed Ali & beautifully penned by the legendary Amardeep Rana truly describes and fully justifies the storyline.

Filmmaker Adhish Rana states, "‘Jeena Dil Se’ is not merely a film; it is an emotion! My objective is to convey a message to the audience regarding the importance of friendship and the pursuit of happiness. This film is very close to my heart because it beautifully blends two genres—comedy and romance. Based on a true story set in Haryana, North India, the film aims to resonate with today's youth. Its excellent dialogues, musical album, and social message set it apart from the rest."

Shot across the beautiful and culturally rich landscapes of Haryana, the film's most memorable moment was filming at the renowned Brahma Sarovar Aarti in Kurukshetra. With its exceptional script, impeccable comic timing, and a heartwarming storyline, "Jeena Dil Se" is poised to carve a special place for itself in the hearts of the audience.

The title of the much-anticipated Malayalam production, previously referred to as Panorama Studios Production No. 3, has now been officially revealed as UNMADHAM. The film is all set to release in theatres on 7^th August 2026. Presented by T-Series and Panorama Studios, UNMADHAM translates to “frenzy,” perfectly capturing the unsettling and intense world the film promises to explore.

Helmed by Kiran Das, the film is headlined by Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, bringing together two performers known for their emotional depth and nuanced portrayals.

UNMADHAM follows a police constable battling a fragile family life as he reopens a long-unsolved case believed to have supernatural undertones. As he digs deeper, the mystery intensifies, blurring the line between reality and delusion.

Presenting the film, Bhushan Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series said, “UNMADHAM is the kind of story that stays with you; it’s layered with psychological intensity and emotionally grounded narrative. The film’s unique blend of suspense with human conflict, set against a gripping investigative backdrop is what makes it a compelling cinematic experience, and we at T-Series are proud to back such films that are bold in their vision and tell a story not said before.”

Speaking about the film, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, Chairman of Panorama Studios said, “With UNMADHAM, we wanted to create an experience that keeps the audience constantly questioning what is real and what isn’t. It’s a film that builds tension in a very grounded way. Collaborating with T-Series on this slate has allowed us to scale these stories and reach a wider audience.”

Abhishek Pathak, producer at Panorama Studios, added, “What excited me about UNMADHAM is the tension at its heart — a simple police constable reopening a forgotten case that slowly begins to consume his life and sanity. At Panorama Studios, we believe in backing stories that challenge and engage viewers, and UNMADHAM is exactly that — gripping, unpredictable, and rooted in powerful performances.”

Known for his award-winning performances, Kunchacko Boban said, “UNMADHAM is about the frenzy that builds quietly within a person. My character is torn between responsibility and doubt, and as the case unfolds, his world begins to shift in unexpected ways. It’s a role that demanded emotional intensity and restraint at the same time.”

Speaking about the atmosphere that defines the story, Lijomol Jose shared, “The title itself suggests a state where fear, confusion, and truth collide. The story draws you into the life of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. What I love most is how grounded and real the emotions feel, even when the situation spirals.”

Marking his directorial debut, Kiran Das, one of Malayalam cinema’s most acclaimed editors, shared his thoughts on the title: “UNMADHAM reflects a state of frenzy — not just in the events of the story, but in the experience of the central character. We want the audience to feel the uncertainty he feels. Is what he’s chasing truly supernatural, or is something else at play? That tension drives the film.”

Kiran Das, a Kerala State Film Award winner for Ishq, has edited several landmark films including Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Joji, Moothon, Romancham, Rorschach, Joseph, and Ela Veezha Poonchira.

The film is written by National Award-winning writer Shahi Kabir (Nayattu, Joseph), who reunites with Kunchacko Boban for UNMADHAM after the commercial success of Officer On Duty. Music is composed by Mujeeb Majeed (Kishkindha Kandam), with action by Kalai Kingson (Marco, Bhramayugam).

UNMADHAM is presented by Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, T-Series Films and Panorama Studios, and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. The film is co-produced by Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon, with Abhinav Mehrotra serving as creative producer.

With a compelling title, a powerhouse creative team, and a story that promises to keep audiences questioning what is real and what lies beneath the surface, UNMADHAM is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Malayalam films to watch out for. Further updates, including the film’s first look and release plans, will be announced soon.

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.

Dacoit is gearing up for a grand pan-India theatrical release for 10th of April 2026.

Overwhelmed by the love and positive feedback, director Sammir I Patel opened up about his journey, the challenges he faced, and the joy of finally presenting his film to the world.

Q1: How do you feel now that your film is finally ready and the first trial screening was such a great success?

Sammir I Patel: "It feels absolutely amazing. All the hard work has finally paid off. Honestly, it feels like my baby is finally out for the world to see. The love and appreciation from the audience at the screening has made every sleepless night worth it."

Q2: What were the challenges in making this film, and what kept you going through them?

Sammir I Patel: "There were many challenges. Being an independent filmmaker, it's never easy to mount a project, especially when you're working with newcomers and striving to maintain high creative standards. There were difficult moments—times when things didn't go as planned—but I had to keep pushing forward. I knew this story deserved to be told.

One area where we took extra time was the background score and sound design. We didn't rush it because we understood how crucial it is to elevate the film's mood—from comedy to thriller. Despite that, we finished the shoot by the end of September, and by the beginning of March, we had the first copy ready. That's remarkably fast—most films take at least a year in post-production. But we managed it without compromising on quality. The production value and creative output have both turned out well, and the response at the screening proves that."

From Ferozepur to Mumbai: The Journey of Shivam Sharma as 'Kallu'

Among the standout performers who earned special appreciation at the screening was Shivam Sharma, who plays the menacing yet unforgettable character of 'Kallu'—one-third of the film's hilarious gangster trio.

Hailing from Ferozepur, Punjab, Shivam moved to Mumbai in 2019 with dreams of making it in the entertainment industry. With a strong theatre background, he brought a raw, instinctive energy to his role.

Q1: How did you get the role of Kallu, which was so loved by the audience?

Shivam Sharma: "It was actually Vishal Dubey, who is also part of the cast, who asked me to audition for the role of Kallu. In the first audition, I wasn't selected. But I believed I could do justice to this character, so I requested Vishal to speak to Sammir Sir again. He did, and I was called back for a second audition. That time, I cracked it. I was fascinated by Kallu because he is so unpredictable. He is nothing like me in real life. Kallu actually cuts his own thumb and licks it—he's a hardcore criminal. Playing someone so raw and dangerous was an absolute thrill."

Q2: What preparation did you do to bring Kallu to life on screen?

Shivam Sharma: "I read the script about 25 to 30 times to get complete clarity on who Kallu was. I had several discussions with Sammir Sir about my inputs and what Kallu's look could be. Together, we decided Kallu would be bald, with a 'K' carved on his head—a menacing signature. We worked extensively on his body language and the way he speaks. It had to feel dangerous yet oddly entertaining. And when I finally saw the character come alive on screen at the trial screening, it was absolutely thrilling."

Talking about singing Rubaroo, Faheem Abdullah expressed, “When I was recording Rubaroo, I felt like I was stepping into someone’s most vulnerable memory of love, the very inception of it. There’s a tenderness in the melody, but also a depth that lingers. I think listeners will truly feel that.”

Singer Chinmayi Sripada, expressed, “There’s a quiet depth to Rubaroo that I really connected with. Recording it in two languages meant honouring not just the lyrics, but the emotional rhythm of each version. That nuance made the experience very special for me.”

Talking about the song, Adivi Sesh shared, “For me, music is one of the purest ways to communicate emotion. Rubaroo captures a kind of love that feels honest and vulnerable.

Mrunal Thakur shared, “I’ve always believed that first love has a certain purity to it, and Rubaroo captures that beautifully. It doesn’t try to be dramatic, it simply lets the emotion breathe, and that’s what I connected with the most.”

This is not the story of a fictional heroine.
This is the story of every Gujarati household’s mother.

Lovingly referred to as “Gujarat’s Mother India”, Malumadi reflects the selfless love, quiet resilience, and unseen sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood that stays in the background, so the family can move forward together.

Directed with sensitivity by Milan Joshi, the film explores love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family in a way that feels deeply familiar and timeless. Malumadi is a clean, family-friendly film, grounded in emotion, cultural values, and lived truth.

Where emotion meets tradition

Malumadi tells a story that exists, in one way or another, in every Gujarati home,
where a mother stands firm as the emotional backbone of the family.

A line from the film captures its spirit with quiet strength:
“I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and identity.”

These words are more than dialogue.
They echo a mother’s moral courage, choosing humanity over prejudice, compassion over division.

While gently addressing contemporary social realities, the film reminds us that the true strength of a family lies in love, not in lines that separate us.

Music that stays with you

The film’s music is composed by Harman Mer, with lyrics written by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in particular, expresses maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity that the feeling lingers long after the song ends, often saying what words cannot.

Performances that feel real

In the lead role, Bharti Thakkar delivers a performance that is not just watched but deeply felt. It stands among her most sensitive and emotionally powerful portrayals to date.

She is supported by a strong ensemble cast, including Aakash Pandya, Priyam Talavia, Gurubhai Jethwa, Diya Bhatt, Vijay Jhala, and Ashitosh Solanki, along with veteran actors Ashok Patel and Niharika Dave, who bring depth and authenticity to the narrative.

Cinematographer Jayesh Kaushik lends the film visual warmth and realism. The project is managed by Parth Navadia, with Bharat Donda serving as Production Head.

Producer Vikram Patolia shares:

“Malumadi is not just a film, it’s the story of every home.
A mother quietly holds everything together, without ever asking to be noticed.
This film is our humble effort to reflect the emotions of all such mothers.”

With digital promotions led by Nexa Infotech, Malumadi has already begun forming a strong emotional connection on social media. The trailer has received encouraging responses on YouTube and Instagram, with #malumadifilm steadily gaining traction among audiences.

India has yet another moment of pride on the global cinematic stage. Mahamantra – The Great Chant, the documentary feature directed by acclaimed filmmaker Girish Malik and produced by Clapstem, has officially been included in the Academy Awards’ Documentary Feature Reminder List, placing it firmly in contention for the upcoming Oscars.

The inclusion of Mahamantra on the Academy’s reminder list marks a crucial milestone in its Oscar journey. It signals that the film is very much part of the global awards conversation – one that goes beyond box-office numbers and spectacle, and instead speaks to intellectual depth, spiritual inquiry and universal relevance. For Indian cinema, especially in the documentary feature space, this is a significant and encouraging achievement.

With this entry, Mahamantra steps into a rare and prestigious league of Indian documentaries that have brought global recognition to the country, including The Elephant Whisperers and Period. End of Sentence, both of which went on to win Academy Awards. Malik’s film now carries that legacy forward, reinforcing India’s growing presence in world documentary cinema.

Produced under the banner of Clapstem, Mahamantra reflects the company’s commitment to meaningful, globally resonant storytelling. The film is not a documentary made to chase headlines, but one born out of deep thought, research and quiet conviction. Even before its Indian release, it has begun to leave a strong impact internationally and within the festival circuit. Recently, Mahamantra was showcased at IFFI Goa 2025 under a Special Focus category, where it received remarkable responses from audiences and media alike. The film was widely described as a powerful, visually immersive and profoundly timely piece.

At its heart, Mahamantra – The Great Chant explores the ancient science of mantras and asks a deeply human question: can age-old wisdom guide us through today’s broken, restless and uncertain world? In a time marked by political unrest, wars, emotional imbalance and rising mental health challenges, the film gently bridges ancient knowledge with contemporary scientific thought.

Visually captivating and artistically rich, "MAHAMANTRA" weaves together the cosmic dance of Shiva, the resonance of his Damru, and Krishna's diplomatic efforts to avert conflict.

The documentary examines the sacred, ancient science of mantras, such as Om Namah Shivaya, through the lenses of physics, consciousness studies and spiritual traditions. Its journey is vast and awe-inspiring — moving from the Big Bang to the Mahabharata, from World War II to the era of Oppenheimer — while always remaining rooted in humanity’s shared search for meaning and healing.

With the brilliance of Maestro Bickram Ghosh’s sound, the depth of Shubha Mudgal’s voice, and the insight of Padma Shri Dr. Arvind Lal, the film carries a truly global heartbeat, featuring leading scholars, thinkers and participants from around the world and across belief systems.

Directed by Girish Malik, a filmmaker known for creating cinema that consistently travels internationally, Mahamantra continues his legacy of storytelling that crosses borders. Malik’s work has previously been showcased on prestigious platforms such as the Busan International Film Festival, Netflix and Indian Panorama, and has earned National Awards. With Mahamantra, many consider he has delivered his most ambitious and spiritually resonant work to date.

Speaking about the film’s Oscar entry, Girish Malik shared: “Mahamantra was never made with awards in mind. It was born out of a deep curiosity about sound, consciousness and our collective human journey. To see the film reach the Academy’s reminder list is humbling. It tells me that stories rooted in ancient knowledge can still resonate with a global audience today.”

Set against the backdrop of global unrest and conflict, Mahamantra stands as a quiet yet powerful cinematic experience. It does not shout for attention, but stays with the viewer long after the screen fades to black. Its inclusion on the Academy’s reminder list is a subtle acknowledgment of the power of cinema that dares to pause, reflect and ask deeper questions. Regardless of how the Oscar journey unfolds, Mahamantra – The Great Chant has already secured its place as a rare and meaningful contribution to Indian documentary cinema.

It strengthens India’s position in the global non-fiction space and reminds us why stories matter — that cinema, at its best, can become a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern chaos, offering clarity, hope and connection in uncertain times.

Mahamantra – The Great Chant, produced by Clapstem Productions, is slated for its Indian release in the coming months.

The event was graced by Bollywood’s renowned choreographer Ganesh Acharya and actress Pooja Chopra, who appreciated the song and congratulated the team. Actor Rahul Roy, the hero of the iconic film Aashiqui, along with his sister Hari Maa Priyanka, extended their heartfelt congratulations to Manoj Jha and Poonam Jha.

“Maza Le Le” is sung by Poonam Jha and Dev Negi, while the music video has been directed by Abhishek Sharma. The choreography is by Vishnu Deva, and the cinematography has been handled by Dudley, best known as the cinematographer of the blockbuster film Chennai Express.

It is worth noting that several of Poonam Jha’s earlier songs have already crossed millions of views across digital platforms, earning her growing popularity among music lovers. Her party track “Nashe Mein High,” released under Zee Music Company and launched by actress Pooja Batra, received strong audience appreciation and impressive viewership.

In the new song “Maza Le Le,” Poonam Jha, Anaira Gupta, and Eshan Shanker are seen in lead roles. The song is presented by Kamakhya Beats, composed by Pawan Muradpuri, with lyrics penned by S. R. Bharti. The official jewellery partner for the video is Kamakhya Jewels Limited, adding elegance and glamour to the visuals.

Speaking at the event, Ganesh Acharya said,

“I thank everyone for inviting me here. My congratulations and best wishes to the entire ‘Maza Le Le’ team including Poonam Jha, Anaira Gupta, and Eshan Shanker. Vishnu Deva has done excellent choreography. Poonam has sung and performed beautifully. I also congratulate Manoj Jha for launching Kamakhya Beats with such a thoughtful vision and wish him all the best.”

Pooja Chopra congratulated Poonam Jha on the song and appreciated Kamakhya Beats for creating a platform that will support and promote new talent.

Sharing his thoughts, Manoj Jha said,

“Although we are in the jewellery business, my wife Poonam has always been deeply passionate about singing. Due to responsibilities, she could not showcase her talent earlier. Now she is finally expressing her true potential. On choreographer Vishnu Deva’s encouragement, I launched Kamakhya Beats as a platform especially for talented women. From now on, songs will be released every month, and new talent will also be given opportunities.”

Singer Poonam Jha expressed her happiness, saying,

“Singing has always been my passion. ‘Maza Le Le’ is my third song, and watching it on the big screen is a completely different experience. I am extremely happy and excited. I sincerely thank my husband Manoj Jha for supporting me, encouraging my dreams, and laying the foundation of Kamakhya Beats. I am grateful to Ganesh Acharya and Pooja Chopra for being present at the launch. I also thank Dudley sir for shooting the song like a full-fledged film track, and Vishnu Deva for making me dance.”

During the event, Manoj Jha and Poonam Jha honoured all the guests and technical team members with bouquets and shawls. With its energetic beats and vibrant visuals, “Maza Le Le” promises to be a crowd-pleasing party number that will get everyone onto the dance floor.

The trailer offers a glimpse into a story that begins with a simple responsibility but quickly turns into a journey filled with confusion, chaos, and laughter. It shows three young men trying to take their unpredictable chacha on a journey, hoping to manage him and avoid trouble. However, trouble seems to follow them at every step.

As the journey progresses, the boys find themselves surrounded by situations they never expected. From misunderstandings to accidental run-ins with dangerous mafia elements, every moment adds a new layer of chaos. The trailer makes it clear that while the stakes keep rising, the film never loses its light-hearted tone. Each problem turns into a funny situation, making the comedy feel natural and relatable.

At the trailer launch, Lalit Prabhakar said, “The story feels very close to real life. We have all been in situations where one lie or one mistake leads to bigger problems. This film takes that idea and turns it into entertainment.”

Anant Joshi added, “The journey keeps getting crazier, but the emotions remain honest. That balance makes the comedy work.”

Nyrraa Banerji shared, “What I enjoyed is how the film shows chaos with warmth. And my character just adds to the chaos . Even when everything is going wrong, there is a sense of fun and togetherness.”

Produced by Pellucidar Production Pvt Ltd and directed by Abhishek Raj and Rajnish Thakur, with co-producer Amit Gupta the movie has an ensemble cast including Ashutosh Rana, Abhimanyu Singh, Mukesh Tiwari, Harsh Mayar, Lalit Prabhakar, Anant V Joshi, Ashok Pathak, and Nyrraa Banerji.

Set on the road and rooted in small-town India, One Two Cha Cha Chaa blends nostalgic humour with a fresh storytelling style. The trailer promises a fun-filled ride where nothing goes as planned, and that’s exactly what makes the journey enjoyable.

The Origin Story

“We ate, slept, and breathed theatre. That’s where the multitasking madness was born.”

Patel’s roller-coaster began on the stage—writing, acting, directing, producing. A fateful meeting with writer Manoj Santoshi on a TV set pivoted his path into television, forging a partnership that would fuel every medium. “Every format,” he says, “has been a masterclass.”

The Sansani Symphony: Cast & Sound

This isn’t just a film; it’s a collective. Patel assembles a killer ensemble:

· The Leading Force: Chetsi Rene, Richa Jain, Hunar Thethi & Shatakshi Kiran

· The Unforgettable ‘Gen-Z Don’: Brijendra Kala (also co-producer)

· Special Voice Cameo: Comedy legend Johny Lever

· Gangster Trio: Abhishek Patel (‘Chikna’), Vishal Dubey (‘Pencil’), Shivam Sharma (‘Kallu’)

· And Satya Narayan Mishra

On the scoreboard: Rising singer Rubai brings Patel’s original songs to life, while composer Samrat Tarafdar fuels the frenzy.

A Debut Voice: Hunar Thethi on Becoming Megha

For Hunar Thethi, who plays the sharp yet vulnerable journalist Megha, the role was a breakthrough. “Sammir Sir’s workshop was the actual reason Megha was built,” she shares. “He helped me understand her traits—a serious, no-nonsense journalist with OCD, yet young and vulnerable. Those insights shaped her.”

Her audition was a leap of faith. “I called Sir and said, ‘I have to do this!’ He wasn’t strict on lines—just told me to focus on the character. When I got the call that night saying ‘I see Megha in you,’ I was genuinely the happiest!”

Reflecting on her debut, she adds, “Sansani taught me that preparation and presence go hand in hand. The workshop showed me how to build a character, and the shoot taught me how to live it.”

The Inner Circle: When Trust Directs

“Brijendra ji played my chacha in my first play. We clicked and never stopped.”

Some bonds define a career. For Patel, it’s the unwavering faith of veterans like Brijendra Kala (“pure brilliance”) and Johny Lever (“He’s family now. He believes in my vision and always says yes.”).

The Patel Playbook: How Stories Get Chosen

One rule: If the thrill survives the final draft, mount the film.

“Sansani stayed crazy-fun from page one to the last shoot day—and we nailed it.”

The Multi-Hyphenate Machine

Writer. Director. Composer. Producer. For Patel, it’s a seamless rhythm.

“I switch gears as needed.” His secret? Songs are done before the shoot, and every frame is already edited to the score in his mind.

The Catalogue & The Pipeline

From the emotional depths of Milenge Jannat Mein to the comedy of Hotel Beautifool and PFA: Love Mom & Dad, Patel’s filmography refuses genres. Now, with Sansani, the momentum rolls into upcoming rom-drama Kuch Pal Aur Ruk Jao and bold comedy Pink Vodka.

The Mission: A Quiet Revolution

Through SIP Productions, Patel is waging a content-first war.

“I want audiences to choose films for their stories, not just their stars. When that shift happens, Indian cinema leaps forward.”

With Sansani, he isn’t just dropping a film—he’s championing a new era. One where the only superstar that matters is the story itself.

Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild)

Writer | Director | Producer | Composer

Now building a digital-first empire of addictive, talent-launching, content-obsessed cinema through SIP Productions.

Like when National Award–winning vision meets legacy, scale, and destiny.

Acclaimed filmmaker Mansore, one of India’s most respected voices in contemporary cinema, now steps into Hindi cinema with Juliet — a film that marks his Hindi debut and the beginning of an exclusive creative collaboration with Neeraj Tiwari, the visionary producer and founder of Aagaaz Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.

The unveiling of Juliet’s teaser poster signals more than a film announcement. It announces a meeting of two cinematic philosophies — Mansore’s uncompromising storytelling integrity and Neeraj Tiwari’s legacy-backed, future-facing vision.

Mansore’s journey is already etched into Indian cinema history. A filmmaker celebrated for his emotional honesty and social depth, he is the recipient of three National Film Awards, two Filmfare Awards, an International NETPAC Award, and a State Gold Medal. His cinema has never chased applause — it has earned it. With Juliet, Mansore brings his rare, rooted voice into Hindi cinema, promising a film driven by soul, substance, and quiet power.

At the heart of Juliet stands Neeraj Tiwari — producer, distributor, entrepreneur, and a man whose understanding of cinema spans generations. Carrying forward a family legacy in film and entertainment since the 1960s, Neeraj’s early years in distribution helped shape the success of some of Indian cinema’s most iconic and commercially defining films, including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Rang De Basanti, Apaharan, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Jai Veeru, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, and Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi.

That instinct for scale and storytelling naturally evolved into production under Aagaaz Entertainment, where Neeraj backed films such as Ek Jhalak, Saath Tareekh (Filmfare-nominated), Iccha: The Lust, Tibba, and Postman. His creative universe expanded further with Aagaaz Music, collaborating with leading playback singers and delivering chart-worthy tracks.

Yet Neeraj Tiwari’s stature goes far beyond cinema. A formidable entrepreneur, he is the owner of Ace Ship Navigation Pvt. Ltd., operating across India and Dubai with a fleet that includes five oil tankers, and the founder of a maritime college, bridging industry, education, and global trade. It is this rare synthesis of creativity and command that defines Neeraj — a producer who understands both emotion and enterprise, art and ambition.

Juliet is produced by Neeraj Tiwari, Mukesh Gupta, and Rohit K, with Chitra Vakil Sharma and Kavita Sshibag Kapoor as co-producers. Discussions are currently underway with well-known actors to lead the film, with announcements expected soon.

The project also aligns with Aagaaz Entertainment’s rapidly expanding global footprint. Recently, the banner announced a global action-comedy starring Sanya Malhotra, co-produced with Ratpack Stories and Travelin’ Bone Entertainment (USA) — reaffirming Aagaaz’s commitment to internationally resonant, story-first cinema.

With a power-packed slate of five films planned for 2026, Juliet stands tall as Aagaaz Entertainment’s flagship statement — a film that reflects intent, integrity, and imagination.

When Mansore’s cinema of conscience meets Neeraj Tiwari’s cinema of legacy and scale, the result is not just a film — it is a moment.

And Juliet is only the beginning….

Drishyam stands among the most influential and celebrated cinematic franchises in Indian cinema. With its legacy of record-breaking box office milestones, extraordinary fan engagement, and multiple acclaimed remakes — including the Hindi adaptations produced by Panorama Studios, with Drishyam 2 directed by Abhishek Pathak — the franchise remains one of the most compelling and widely discussed s of contemporary storytelling.

For Panorama Studios, the acquisition is both sentimental and strategic. Kumar Mangat Pathak, Chairman, Panorama Studios, said, “For me, Drishyam is more than a film — it has been a transformative journey for Indian cinema. Acquiring these worldwide rights to the original Malayalam franchise is a proud and emotional moment. With our global distribution strength, we intend to make Drishyam 3 one of India’s biggest international releases.”

Echoing industry optimism, Dr. Jayantilal Gada, Director, Pen Studios, said, “With Drishyam 3, we continue our mission of taking exceptional Indian stories to the world. Our partnership with Panorama Studios strengthens this vision and ensures the film reaches the global platform it truly deserves.”

Producer Antony Perumbavoor added, “With Panorama Studios and Pen Studios coming together, the Malayalam Drishyam 3 will now reach audiences at a scale we always believed it deserved. It’s truly gratifying to see the story move forward with such support and shared vision.”

Actor Mohanlal shared, “Georgekutty has stayed with me for years — in my thoughts, in the audience’s emotions, and in the silence between the lines. Returning to him feels like meeting an old friend with new secrets. I’m excited for the audience to see where his journey leads.”

Director Jeethu Joseph added, “Stories like Drishyam don’t end — they evolve. And seeing this partnership come together feels like the right step for the journey ahead. We’ve always believed this story deserved a global stage, and now, with this collaboration, it feels like the world is finally ready for Georgekutty’s next move.”

The announcement also aligns with Panorama Studios’ expansion into Kerala as part of its long-term commitment to Malayalam storytelling. The studio is actively collaborating with acclaimed talent and emerging filmmakers, strengthening its mission to take Malayalam cinema to national and global audiences.

The film features a vibrant mix of celebrated actors like Ashutosh Rana, Lalit Prabhakar, Abhimanyu Singh, Anant V Joshi, Nyyraa Banerji and refreshing new talent, promising an original entertainer filled with energy and unpredictability.

Lalit Prabhakar, known for National Award-winning films like Anandi Gopal, expressed his excitement:

“This film is pure madness on the move! We were laughing nonstop while shooting, and that same playful chaos is what the audience will experience on screen.”

Anant V Joshi, praised for his performances in Kathal and 12th Fail, added:

“If you enjoy confusion, comedy, and full-on drama, then One Two Cha Cha Chaa is made for you. It’s a wild comedy ride, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”

Ashutosh Rana, usually seen in intense roles in films like Dushman and Sangharsh, said:

“People mostly watch me in serious characters, but this film let me explore a whole new flavour of madness. The humour, the timing, the confusion—it’s a delight both to perform and to watch.”

Abhimanyu Singh, known for impactful roles in Gulaal and Sooryavanshi, shared:

“There’s a special joy in being part of a comedy where anything can happen. One Two Cha Cha Chaa keeps you guessing and laughing till the very end."

Nyyraa Banerji, popular across films and television, added:

“This film has everything—from fun songs to hilarious situations. It brings out the true playful spirit of Bollywood, and every scene comes with a surprise.”

The film is backed by a strong creative team—production design by Bijon DasGupta, cinematography by Amol Gole, editing by Ranjit Bahadur, action by Abbas Ali Moghul, music by Vishal & Sangeet, Ripul Sharma, and Aishwarya Nigam, choreography by Chinni Prakash and Adil Shaikh, and background score by National Award-winner Harshwardhan Rameshwar.

Produced by Sajan Gupta, Vijay Lalwani, and Ntasha Sethi of Pellucidar Production Pvt Ltd, along with executive producer M. R. Shahjahan.

With its eccentric plot, eccentric characters, and powerhouse team, One Two Cha Cha Chaa is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year.

Audiences can mark 16th January 2026 on their calendars, when the film arrives in theatres with a promise of unforgettable comedy, confusion, and celebration.

Mumbai : As digital platforms reshape Indian cinema, acclaimed writer-director Sammir I. Patel announces his boldest project yet: Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild), a thriller-comedy crafted to redefine entertainment for a new generation. Presented by SIP Productions, the film exemplifies Patel’s visionary approach to storytelling in the OTT era.

A Director Rooted in Classics, Driven by the Future
“My heart still belongs to the timeless classics of Hrishikesh Mukherjee — Chupke Chupke remains my eternal favourite,” says Patel. “At the same time, I’m deeply inspired by modern masters like Sriram Raghavan; his Andhadhun is the gold standard of thriller-comedy. Sansani lives in that sweet spot where laughter and suspense collide.”

The Birth of a ‘Gen-Z Don’
The film introduces one of the year’s most original characters — a slang-slinging ‘Gen-Z Don’ played by veteran actor and co-producer Brijendra Kala. “We wanted to shatter every gangster stereotype,” Patel explains. “Imagine a wannabe politician who speaks in memes, calculates every move, and rules with ice-cold swag. Writing this role for Brijendra ji — our eighth collaboration since our theatre days — has been pure magic.”

Jinnal: An Actor to Watch
Newcomer Chetsi Rene plays the glamorous yet ghost-phobic Jinnal. “My first audition take was embarrassing,” she laughs, “but Sammir Sir’s guidance turned it around. When I came back to read for Jinnal, everything just clicked.”
Rene adds, “Working with Sir is unique — he lets actors co-create their characters. He spotted my dance background and even trusted me to choreograph my sequences. Jinnal is everything I’m not — I’m not scared of ghosts at all! — yet everything I understand. She's a nerdy fashionista who’s both dramatic and vulnerable.”

Two High-Impact Films Every Year
Sansani marks a strategic pivot for SIP Productions. “The digital space demands pace and freshness,” Patel declares. “We’re now committed to producing two tight-budget, high-impact films annually — with limited locations, fresh talent, and insane schedules. These constraints are our rocket fuel.”
The project also launched the careers of four debutantes — Chetsi Rene, Richa Jain, Shatakshi Kiran, and Hunar Thethi — through an intensive two-month acting and personality bootcamp. “We didn’t just teach acting; we built fire, attitude, and consistency,” says Patel.

When Music Tells the Story
True to form, Patel also serves as the film’s composer and lyricist. “The songs in Sansani aren’t add-ons — they’re narrative engines. The music was born alongside the script.”

Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild) — produced by SIP Productions and co-produced by Brijendra Kala, Zoheb Patel, and Satya Super Sound — will premiere exclusively on a leading OTT platform in 2026.

A storyteller who effortlessly juggles writing, directing, composing, and producing, Patel’s career spans hit theatre productions (Baat Baat Mein Bigdey Halaat), iconic television shows (Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai, co-creator of Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai), and films like Hotel Beautifool, PFA: Love Mom & Dad, and the award-winning Milenge Jannat Mein. With Sansani, he continues to create addictive, generation-next narratives.

Reel World Entertainment’s audacious Malayalam spectacle transcends boundaries as Dharma Productions, Mythri Movie Makers, PVR INOX, Wayfarer Films, and T Series join forces.

Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies, mounted by Reel World Entertainment, has now become a full-blown industry event. Backed by some of India’s most influential banners and distributors- Dharma Productions, Mythri Movie Makers, PVR INOX, and Wayfarer Films - the film marks a historic collaborative moment for Malayalam cinema, with The Plot Pictures extending the film’s reach internationally.

The project is powered by Creative Producer Shihan Shoukath who also serves as the producer alongside Ritesh and Ramesh S.Ramakrishnan, together forming the founding team behind Reel World Entertainment.

What began as a fiery Malayalam story rooted in Kerala’s street energy and the charisma of wrestling culture has now evolved into a cinematic phenomenon; the one that’s breaking language barriers and reimagining the scale of Malayalam cinema. After its electrifying teaser set social media ablaze which was praised for its raw, kinetic visuals has now evolved into one of the country’s most hotly anticipated releases.

The teaser, full of grit, colour, and unfiltered energy, has already travelled far beyond Malayalam-speaking audiences. Released simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, it found traction across languages within hours of its drop, sparking discussion among film circles across India.

What followed the film’s roaring teaser was a wave of powerhouse alliances that now define its journey to release. Backing the film is an unprecedented line-up of heavyweights.

Dharma Productions, one of India’s most celebrated banners, takes charge of the Hindi-speaking markets, marking its first major association with Malayalam cinema. Mythri Movie Makers, the powerhouse behind Pushpa, drives distribution across Andhra and Telangana, while PVR INOX Pictures, India’s biggest multiplex distributor, extends its reach to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. In Kerala, Wayfarer Films, Dulquer Salmaan’s banner known for championing dynamic, new-age content, steers the home-ground release. And beyond borders, The Plot Pictures takes Chatha Pacha global, charting an international release in over 100 countries. Now, with India’s most powerful production houses rallying behind it, the film’s trajectory looks nothing short of explosive.

The project also marks the Malayalam debut of the legendary composer trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, which has already become a talking point. The music rights rest with T-Series, adding musical firepower to the already star-studded project.

The film stars Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, Vishak Nair, and Ishan Shoukath, each bringing explosive energy to the screen, with a stellar technical team featuring Anend C. Chandran (Cinematography), Jomon T. John (Additional Cinematography), Sudeep Elamon (Additional Cinematography), Ronex Xavier (Makeup), Melwy J (Costume Design), Kalai Kingson (Action), Vinayak Sasikumar (Lyrics), Mujeeb Majeed (Score), Sanoop Thykoodam (Screenplay), and Praveen Prabhakar (Editing).

With its ever-expanding alliances and a teaser that continues to trend across languages, Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies is becoming a statement that Malayalam cinema is ready to take centre stage in the pan-Indian arena. Now wrapped and racing through post-production, the buzz only gets louder as the film gears up for a thunderous January 2026 release in Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil.

‘Nomad’ is a 17- track album, uniting sounds from Travis Scott, Future, Stray Kids, Don Toliver, J Balvin, Peso Pluma, Dillon Francis, Amadou & Mariam, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, and many more

India, November 7th, 2025 : Global music icon DJ Snake releases his long-awaited album “Nomad,” a 17-track sonic journey that transcends borders. Languages, genres and unites the sounds of the world. Inspired by the places and people that have shaped his artistry, especially India, the album reflects Snake’s evolution from a Parisian producer to one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary music. Announced during his historic, sold-out Stade de France concert, Nomad captures DJ Snake’s love for global sounds, from reggaeton and Afro-house to Middle Eastern street beats, reflecting the boundless creativity and cultural diversity that define his sound. While paying homage to the infectious energy and color of India, Nomad is a testament to his deep respect for global music culture.

 LISTEN HERE

DJ Snake comments on the 17-track new album: “I grew up surrounded by people from India, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East. That mix shaped everything I heard. “Nomad” is a tribute to that upbringing… always moving, always learning, always blending what the world has to offer. “Nomad” goes beyond an album tracklist. It's a cultural statement. I’m excited to see the love this album will receive in India and can’t wait to be there to witness how everyone embraces it.””

Nomad introduces several first-time collaborations for DJ Snake, including Travis Scott and Future on the much-anticipated “Tsunami,” a hard-hitting anthem that taps into Snake’s deep hip-hop and trap roots. Recently, he surprised his fans worldwide with the announcement of his collaboration with Stray Kids on “In The Dark,” marking the first-ever partnership between the global DJ and the K-pop powerhouse. The album also features Grammy-nominated Afro-house artist Bantu on “Company,” reggae legend Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on “Bam Bam,” and the debut of DJ Snake’s bass-driven alter ego The Outlaw on “Final Fantasy.” Fans will also experience solo standouts like “Nomad,” “Monte Carlo,” “Cairo Express,” and “KIKI2000,” each showcasing a different chapter of his ever-evolving Nomad journey.

Over the summer, in the lead-up to “Nomad”, DJ Snake unveiled a series of standout singles that set the tone for one of his most profound albums to date. It began in May with “Paradise” featuring Bipolar Sunshine, first premiered at his sold-out Stade de France show, a modern reimagining of Phil Collins’s “Another Day in Paradise.” This was followed by “Reloaded” with Space Laces, a gritty electronic weapon that flips Marilyn Manson’s “This Is the New Sh*t” into pure dancefloor fire.

Then came “Patience,” a deeply personal project featuring his reimagination of Amadou & Mariam’s celebrated 2008 song “Sabali,” accompanied by a powerful music video which sheds light on the realities of migration, offering a sensitive and humanizing portrayal of those compelled to leave their homeland in pursuit of a better future.

Summer continued with “Noventa,” a 90’s inspired reggaeton-flavored anthem which effortlessly fuses cultures, genres, and undeniable star power, reuniting Snake with longtime friend and collaborator J Balvin. Rounding out the season, “Something Wrong” with Don Toliver showcased Snake’s hip-hop roots through Toliver’s unmistakable vocals, while “Bring The House Down” with Dillon Francis and TRXGGX reignited the energy of trap, setting the stage for the revival of trap and celebrating the genre’s resurgence.

About DJ Snake

Over the last decade, DJ Snake has achieved the kind of rarefied and wildly transformative success that few artists ever come close to attaining. Originally from a housing project on the outskirts of Paris, the multi-platinum-selling DJ/producer has shattered industry records with smash hits such as "Taki Taki," earned diamond certification from the RIAA for "Lean On" (with Major Lazer), delivered era-defining bangers like "Turn Down for What" (with Lil Jon), and made history as the first artist to perform atop the roof of the Arc de Triomphe. Along with repeatedly turning out tracks that top the charts around the world—including four songs that have surpassed a staggering billion streams on Spotify—the multi-award-winning phenom brings his boundary-pushing ingenuity to music that builds unexpected and undeniably powerful bridges between vastly different cultures and genres.

The grand celebration of Bahar-e-Urdu opened to a packed audience at Dome SVP Stadium, Worli, as Urdu’s timeless magic came alive through poetry, wit, and music.

The evening began with a Qaumi Yakjehti Geet by Farkhanda and the Kohinoor Music Academy, followed by Mujeeb Khan’s evocative Urdu theatrical presentation Ishq Jale To Jale Aisa on the verses of Sahir Ludhianvi.

A star-studded Mushaira featuring Rajesh Reddy, Obaid Azam Azmi, Shakeel Azmi, Mehshar Afridi, Qamar Siddiqui, and Shikha Awdhesh transported the audience into the lyrical world of Urdu poetry.

Renowned humourist Surender Sharma had the crowd in splits with his signature wit, while a thought-provoking panel on “Filmon Mein Urdu” featuring Sachin Pilgaonkar, Rumy Jafry, and Syed Qadri, moderated by Shekhar Suman, explored the language’s poetic influence on Indian cinema.

A lively interactive session with Javed Akhtar and Rumy Jafry drew thunderous applause, highlighting the enduring resonance of Urdu in Indian storytelling.

The show, hosted with charisma and humour by Shekhar Suman and Ali Asgar, concluded with the national anthem.

As the first day came to a close, Bahar-e-Urdu reaffirmed that Urdu is not just a language—it is an emotion that unites hearts, transcending generations.

The second day of Bahar-e-Urdu, celebrating fifty years of the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy, lit up the Dome SVP Stadium, Worli, with a grand tribute to Urdu’s eloquence, intellect, and emotion.

The day began with an Open Mic Mushaira, where young poets Kayam Shah, Ahad Saeed, Payal Pandey, Zain Lakhimpuri, Riyaz Aasi, Shaukat Ali, Adnan Shaikh, Mayank Verma, Imran Ataai and Maqsood Aafaque filled the hall with youthful passion and heartfelt verse.

Two scholarly sessions followed. In “Maharashtra Mein Urdu Adab,” moderated by Dr. Tabassum Khan, papers were presented by Dr. Shaikh Ahrar Ahmad (Thane) and Dr. Quazi Naveed Siddiqui (Aurangabad), with insights from Dr. Abdullah Imteyaz Ahmad (Mumbai) and Prof. Shahid Naukhez (Hyderabad). The next, “Modern Technology and Urdu,” moderated by Mohammad Irfan Raza, featured Dr. Mohd. Tabish Khan (Bhiwandi), Dr. Liaqat Ali (Delhi), Dr. Parvez Ahmad, and Dr. Mahmood Mirza, highlighting Urdu’s growing digital presence.

The evening’s Tamseeli Mushaira brought poetic icons to life, with Zahid Ali Sayyed, Manzoor Islam, Sajid A. Hameed, Raziya Baig, Noman Khan, Nuzhat Parveen Akil Kagzi, Talha Bi Saver Hashmi, Mohsin Husnuddin Shaikh, and Khan Shadab Mohammed portraying legendary poets including Mirza Ghalib, Tahir Faraz, Anjum Rehbar and Obaid Azam Azmi.

A mesmerizing Dastangoi by Fouzia Dastango and a soulful Sufi performance by Jhelum Singh — featuring “Nitt Khair Manga,” “Mere Dholna,” and “Dama Dam Mast Qalandar” — enchanted the audience.

The evening celebrated those who continue to serve Urdu through literature, education, and creativity. Awards were presented in the following categories:

Award for Emerging Writers, Layout Designing Award, Award for Urdu Journalism, Special Award, Educational Service Award, University and Degree College Level Award, School Level Award and Best Book Award.

Each award was a reminder of the many different ways Urdu is being nurtured—on the page, in the classroom, and in the community.

The evening also honoured poets, writers, journalists, educators, and designers for their contributions to Urdu, culminating in a spellbinding Qawwali by the Sabri Brothers.

Bahar-e-Urdu’s second day was not merely an event; it was a living celebration of heritage, intellect, and artistry — a reminder that Urdu does not just belong to history books, but to every voice that dares to sing, speak, and dream in its melody. As the festival prepares for its final day, one truth resounds through every ghazal, every word, and every applause — Urdu lives on, radiant as ever, in the hearts of those who love it.

Mumbai is set to immerse itself in the rich traditions of Urdu literature, art, and music as the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy marks its golden jubilee with a grand celebration titled Bahar-e-Urdu. The three-day cultural extravaganza, organised by the Minority Department of Maharashtra, will be held at the iconic DOME SVP Stadium, Worli, on 6th, 7th and 8th October 2025.

A Festival of Words, Melody and Heritage

The event promises to be a confluence of Urdu’s timeless charm — from thought-provoking seminars, panel discussions, and storytelling sessions, to soulful renditions of ghazals, qawwali, and sufi music. Exhibition stalls will add to the cultural mosaic, showcasing works that celebrate Urdu’s literary and artistic journey.

Each day will bring a unique mix of performances:

Day One (6th October) opens with an exhibition and inaugural ceremony, followed by a stirring Qaumi Yakjehti Geet, an Urdu theatrical drama, and a celebrity Mushaira featuring acclaimed poets. The evening crescendo's into an awards distribution ceremony, a session with humourist Surendra Sharma, a panel on Filmon Mein Urdu with Sachin Pilgaonkar and Rumy Jafri and others, and an engaging Q&A session with Javed Akhtar and Rumy Jafri. The show will be hosted by Shekhar Suman and Ali Asgar, closing with a spirited Sufi/Qawwali night led by the legendary Sabri Brothers.

Day Two (7th October) continues the celebration with a Mushaira by young poets, an academic seminar on the Urdu language, a vibrant fashion show, and a dastangoi performance. The evening highlights include a soulful Sufi performance by Jhelum Singh, alongside the distribution of 156 awards across various categories. The day will be hosted by Priya Malik and Imtiyaz Khaleel.

Day Three (8th October) is marked by musical brilliance, featuring performances of sufi music, ghazals, and qawwali. Highlights include Mushairas, theatrical performances, and a stirring qawwali performance by Shabab Sabri. The finale will be hosted by Shekhar Suman, culminating in a grand finale by none other than Padma Shri Anup Jalota, whose ghazals have mesmerised audiences worldwide.

A Living Legacy

Urdu has always been more than a language — it is a bridge of cultures, emotions, and shared heritage. For fifty years, the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy has nurtured this legacy, encouraging poets, writers, artists, and performers to carry forward the flame. Bahar-e-Urdu is not just a celebration of the past but also a promise for the future — reaffirming the Academy’s commitment to preserve and promote Urdu’s beauty for generations to come.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 11 : Piece Wing Production Pvt. Ltd. proudly announces its latest cinematic venture, “Bisaahee,” a psychological thriller that delves into the chilling reality of witch-hunting in contemporary India. Produced by Mr. Narendra Patel and written/directed by the visionary Abhinav Thakur, the film stars Puja Agarwal as Stuti, Indu Prasad as Asha, and features Ravi Sah and Ramsujan Singh in other pivotal roles. The film is set to challenge perceptions and ignite powerful conversation about courage and social change.

The film follows Stuti, an ultra-modern vlogger, who ventures into the remote and seemingly quaint village of Aatmanpur for her latest video. Her search for unique content leads her to a dark discovery: the insidious practice of witch-hunting. A chilling reality unfolds as she witnesses the horrific exploitation of women under the guise of superstition, with victims like Asha being brutally targeted for their land and property. As Stuti’s journey becomes deeply personal, she finds herself compelled to fight for justice, risking her own life to expose the truth.

The title, “Bisaahee,” encapsulates the film’s central theme of rebellion and defiance. It is a cinematic exploration of how ancient, barbaric practices are still used as a tool to exploit the vulnerable, and how the courage of a few can challenge a corrupt system. The narrative masterfully blends two opposite worlds—the digital, urban reality and a hidden world of fear and oppression—leading to a dramatic collision of values and beliefs.

The film is not only a gripping thriller but also a powerful social commentary with a strong universal appeal. It aims to shed light on a shocking reality that many are still unaware of in modern India. The compelling narrative, combined with a unique visual treatment and a distinctive use of lights and colors, promises to deliver an unforgettable movie-watching experience for a global audience.

Mr. Narendra Patel, Producer, expressed his commitment to the project, stating, “’Bisaahee’ is more than just a film; it is a mirror to a part of our society that remains untouched by progress. We are proud to tell a story that is both terrifying and profoundly relevant, highlighting the bravery of those who dare to stand against injustice.”

Abhinav Thakur, the Writer and Director, added, “With ‘Bisaahee,’ my goal was to create a compelling story that exposes a dark truth while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. The film will force audiences to confront uncomfortable questions and reflect on the power of individual action in the face of systemic oppression.”

New Delhi : An Indo-Pacific historical drama becomes PNG’s official entry for the 98th Academy Awards, celebrating India’s global storytelling reach.

History has been written. Papa Buka, the first-ever Indian-Papua New Guinean cinematic partnership, will be PNG's entry in the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards in 2026. This milestone is led by Odisha's two-time National Award and 40-plus State Award-winning producer, Akshay Kumar Parija, and the Papua New Guinea Government.

Spearheaded by three-time National Award-winning director Dr. Bijukumar Damodaran, the film is a tribute to PNG's Golden Jubilee of Independence. Its core revolves around a long-forgotten chapter of common history, Indian soldiers who battled in PNG during World War II and whose bodies lie anonymously in the Bomana War Cemetery.

The movie derives dramatic power from cross-cultural references to Odisha's Paika Vidroha of 1817, weaving themes of revolt, sacrifice, and identity. It was conceived in response to pivotal state visits, President Pranab Mukherjee in 2016 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2023, both of which renewed India-PNG cultural ties.

The movie has Ritabhari Chakraborty and Prakash Bare in the cast, with a haunting score by Grammy winner Ricky Kej. The entire technical team is Indian, highlighting the nation's skill set in the global arena.

For Parija, Papa Buka is not just a cinema, it is a bridge of culture. With his focus on historical and socially based storytelling in all of Odia, Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam cinema, he takes the film on to bring Odisha's cinematic heritage into the global spotlight.

Coproduced with Pa Ranjith, Prakash Bare, and PNG's NAFA Productions, Papa Buka adds its name to the list of Indian films that have left their mark on the world, cementing the country's place among the top echelons of global cinema.

Fifty years after Jai, Veeru and Gabbar first thundered across the big screen, Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay is back in the spotlight — this time at the auction block. In a landmark online auction on 22–23 August, deRivaz & Ives will offer global fans the chance to own two rare Sholay posters, including a colossal six-sheet re-release design by C. Mohan, as part of its first-of-its-kind sale combining vintage advertisements, fine arts, rare books, and cinema publicity material.

The film memorabilia section doesn’t stop at Sholay. Original posters, lobby cards, and stills from classics like Mahal (1949), Sangram (1951), Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Neel Kamal (1968), and Mera Naam Joker (1970) capture the magic of Indian cinema’s golden decades. For cinephiles, these are more than collectibles — they are cultural time capsules of the stories that shaped a nation.

But cinema is just one dimension of this richly curated sale. The Modern Indian Fine Arts section (Lots 36–64) showcases masterpieces by giants such as Ganesh Pyne, M.F. Husain, Jamini Roy, H.A. Gade, and K.H. Ara. Highlights include Pyne’s Portrait of Rabindranath Tagore (c.1961), Husain’s Untitled oil (1976–77), and Roy’s Flight into Egypt, a designated National Art Treasure. From Souza’s landscapes to Piraji Sagara’s wooden sculpture, the catalogue captures the artistic ferment of post-Independence India.

The advertising and posters section (Lots 1–35) is equally compelling, charting India’s visual history with a late-19th-century Bradford Dyers’ Association trade poster, a rare Erasmic “Himalaya Bouquet” perfume panel (1920s–30s), and glamorous Lux Soap Filmfare spreads featuring stars from Suraiya to Asha Parekh. Rare Air-India travel posters and political material such as the “Quit Goa!” poster (1961) complete the section, revealing how images once sold not just products, but dreams and ideologies.

Collectors of literature will find treasures too — from Rabindranath Tagore’s The Parrot’s Training and Other Stories (1944) to Nicholas Roerich’s Himalaya – A Monograph (1926) and Abdur Rahman Chughtai’s Poet of the East and Chughtai (1962). These books, alongside works by Sarojini Naidu and Toru Dutt, underscore the auction house’s reach across art, ideas, and culture.

Absentee bidding opens 19 August, followed by the live online auction on 22–23 August, with lots closing sequentially between 6:00 and 8:15 pm IST on the final day. Private previews will be held in New Delhi and Mumbai from 18–22 August (by appointment).

With its sweeping range — from the most celebrated film of Indian history to rare canvases, advertisements, and books — this auction is both marketplace and museum, a place where nostalgia meets scholarship, and where owning a piece of history becomes possible.

Mumbai, August 19, 2025 : Asit Kumarr Modi, producer and creator of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has introduced the much-awaited Rajasthani family to the beloved Gokuldham Society. India’s longest-running sitcom, with over 17 years and 4,479 episodes, continues to engage audiences with humor and stories that reflect the everyday lives of the common man. The show draws its strength from an ensemble cast whose interactions capture the quirks, challenges, and bonds that resonate across households. After Popatlal, the Rupa Ratan family is the next to be introduced as a household in Gokuldham Society. Their arrival marks a significant moment for the show, weaving them into the society’s everyday life while opening up for more exciting storylines and adding a richer cultural dimension.

(Video of Asit Kumarr Modi Introduces Ratan & Rupa in Gokuldham Society - https://youtu.be/vJPynHJq8ms) 

Making their entry in a very traditional way, the family will be seen dressed in vibrant Rajasthani clothes, arriving on beautifully decorated camels, bringing with them a glimpse of their culture and heritage. This colourful entry will set the tone for how their presence adds new shades of warmth and festivity to Gokuldham Society. Asit Kumarr Modi will also appear in the episode and introduce Rupa Ratan ka chota sa parivar to the society members, making the moment even more special.

Asit Kumarr Modi shared, "In all these years, our viewers have given immense love to every character of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Over time, many new members have joined the Gokuldham family, each adding their own charm and being welcomed wholeheartedly by the audience. The Gokuldham family has kept evolving, and we are now delighted to welcome a new Rajasthani family played by Dharti Bhatt and Kuldeep Gor along with their two children — Akshaan Sehrawat and Maahi Bhadra. For these roles, many artistes auditioned. After months of careful casting, we selected this team for their dedication, sincerity, and their strong understanding of a family oriented daily comedy show. I am confident they will add a unique flavour to the narrative and open up engaging new storylines. The Rupa Ratan Binjola family will bring vibrant colours and double the humour to the show with their well-crafted characters. In Gokuldham Society, whenever we have introduced new and interesting characters, viewers have embraced them with warmth. This time too, audiences will get to experience new cultural traditions and relatable stories woven seamlessly into the show. Just as Jethalal, Bhide, Madhavi, Babita Ji, Abdul and all the other beloved characters became a part of your everyday lives, I believe this family too will soon find a special place in your hearts. With your love and support, the Gokuldham family will continue to grow and spread happiness.”

Ratan Binjola, a saree shop owner from Jaipur, will be played by Kuldeep Gor, while his wife Rupa Baditop, portrayed by Dharti Bhatt, will be seen as a homemaker who is also an influencer and content creator. Their children, Veer (Akshaan Sehrawat) and Bansari (Maahi Bhadra), will be the new kids in the society after Tapu Sena—bringing innocence, playfulness, and cheer that will add to the fun dynamics of the neighborhood.

Introducing a family at this stage deepens the canvas of Gokuldham. Known for celebrating diversity and unity, the society now welcomes Rupa Ratan family, offering audiences another slice of Indian culture in the classic TMKOC style—with humor, heart, and everyday relatability. Rather than changing the ethos of the show, their arrival will blend seamlessly with it, adding more dimensions to storytelling.

Kuldeep Gor is a well-recognized name in Gujarati cinema, television, and theatre, with notable performances in films such as Jessu Jordaar and Big Bull. On television, he has been appreciated for his roles in Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hain and Maharashtra Chi Hasya Jatra. 

Dharti Bhatt is a popular television actress, best known for her lead role in Mahisagar (2013–15) and as Pratibha Panchal in Kya Haal, Mr. Paanchal? (2017–19). With several successful shows to her credit across genres, she is recognized as a versatile performer.

Together with child actors Akshaan Sehrawat and Maahi Bhadra, the Rupa Ratan family is set to become an integral part of Gokuldham Society—bringing cultural flavour, lively interactions, and new layers of comedy that will carry forward the charm and appeal of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

Tune in tonight at 8:30pm only on Sony SAB to meet the new family of Gokuldham Society

Yet, as we look at the world around us, we cannot ignore the truth—it is going through a deeply turbulent phase. Pain, suffering, and conflict are tearing at the fabric of humanity. It is evident that human nature is far from peace; the divine essence within us lies buried under the dust of ego, greed, and fear. Instead of opening our hearts, we have built invisible walls of hatred and division—walls fed by differences in religion, culture, and ideology.

But what is true freedom? It is not merely the breaking of physical chains or political boundaries. It is the breaking of the inner chains—the liberation of the mind from prejudice, and the liberation of the heart from hatred. Without this inner independence, even the most glorious outer freedom is incomplete.

As the soul of Rajan, I have been guided—by something far greater than myself—to walk the path of Oneness. This is not just my calling; it is a necessity for our times. We stand at a crossroads in human history. One road continues the cycle of violence, hatred, and division. The other leads to a new dawn—a world shaped by love, peace, and harmony. The choice is ours, but the moment is now.

The concept of Mahayogi is not bound to one person—it is the eternal divine spark hidden in every human soul. It is the voice that whispers within us: Awaken. Remember who you truly are. It is the realization that we are not separate rivers flowing alone—we are all drops of the same ocean.

My film, "Mahayogi – Ek Path Ekta Ka", was born as a sacred offering to this truth. It carries a message that can heal wounds and dissolve borders—not only the borders between nations, but the invisible ones within hearts. Yet, despite its purity of purpose, it faced heavy trials. The censor board demanded 21 cuts, removing precious moments that carried the essence of its message. Even after surrendering to these demands, the film has not been released properly, and for the last three months we have been waiting for the Hindi version of Mahayogi – Ek Path Ekta Ka.

I cannot understand why the censor board continues to create hurdles in issuing a certificate for a film that is full of truth, peace, love, and oneness.

Through my various projects, including the film "Mahayogi – Ek Path Ekta Ka", the web series "Tum Hee Shiv Ho", and the book "Mahayogi – Your Conscience", I aim to inspire a global movement towards peace, love, and oneness. These works are not mere creative endeavors, but divine tools for transformation. After years of hard work and dedication, I’m proud to see these projects take shape. My vision is to spread the message of oneness, love, and peace everywhere. I have put my heart and soul into raising the consciousness of humanity, and I believe that Mahayogi is a divine call within everyone—a call to awaken to our true nature and to recognize that we are all connected.

My heart now implores for support—from politicians, celebrities, spiritual leaders, and every awakened soul in India who believes that peace, love, and oneness are the true foundation of this sacred land. Let us raise the consciousness of each soul and heal the world together.

Mahayogi is a divine call. I, the soul of Rajan, have picked it up—not for myself, but for all of you. I request each one of you to watch this soulful act when it comes to you, and to experience an inner awakening within yourself.

To make this vision a living reality, I need the united support of every politician, celebrity, spiritual leader, and every powerful soul of India. This is not just a film—it is a movement for the soul of our nation. Together, we can carry this message into every home, every heart, and every mind, so that the eternal values of peace, love, and oneness become the very breath of India once again.

It is time to transcend all political, religious, and personal issues that cloud the mind. It is time to step beyond every wall that separates us. Let us come together as one, for there is one within everyone—and everyone within the One.

The short film, which LISA has been artfully teasing over the course of a series of Instagram stories and posts, invites audiences to experience a cinematic journey of love and loss. LISA’s character takes a retrospective path through bittersweet memories of her former partner. Viewers watch as LISA transcends through scenes of great romance to moments of deep sorrow. The emotionally poignant video showcases LISA’s acting talents as fans witness a side of her that has never been seen before in her visuals.

The release of the “Dream” music video comes on the heels of LISA earning her third MTV VMA nomination which she received last week for Best K-Pop for “Born Again,” her monumental collaboration with Doja Cat and RAYE.

It marked her second time winning that category, which she first won in 2022 and is the first solo act to ever win the award and broke a new record as the first solo act to win this category multiple times.

Alter Ego, LISA’s debut full length album which was released earlier this year, was met with an outpouring of excitement and praise from fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone heralded, “Lisa’s versatility is clearly a strength — and one that she’s wielding in her nascent acting career, as evidenced by her stint on The While Lotus‘ current season. It helps make Alter Ego feel like an encouraging first step in her figuring out how where her solo career might go.” The album debuted at an impressive #1 on the Top Album Sales chart and in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 (#7). Listen to Alter Ego HERE.

In April, LISA made her solo Coachella debut with electrifying performances at the Sahara Stage. “The performance was tight, creative, cool and altogether electric, with LISA commanding the massive stage (and its attendant massive audience), dancing precisely in tandem with her gaggle of extremely on point dancers and generally looking like she was having a lot of fun while doing it,” raved Billboard. On stage, she made sure to shout out her character, Mook, from The White Lotus Season 3. LISA made her acting debut in Emmy-nominated Season 3 of the popular HBO series, captivating audiences as a member of the hotel staff.

LISA is currently on tour with BLACKPINK for their sold out World Tour.

This collaboration strengthens Fully Filmy’s long-standing vision to create a platform that celebrates India’s love for cinema across languages and regions. The company, co-founded by Raunaq and Anand, was born out of a simple question: Why don’t movie fans have the same kind of merch culture as sports fans?

Speaking on the launch, Raunaq Mangottil, co-founder of Fully Filmy, said, “All my friends were football or cricket fans growing up. They had their jerseys, their merch... but I only loved movies. That’s honestly how Fully Filmy started. Even now, the biggest joy of what I do is spotting someone wearing our merch at a theatre or a mall. And 99% of Fully Filmy’s DNA is secretly just Rajini. He’s always been the reason behind everything I do—and now we’re here, with our third and biggest collab with him. The energy is different every time it’s a Rajini film, and this one is truly special.”

Co-founder Anand Srinivasan added: “We’ve always believed that movie fans in India deserve the same cultural space as sports fans—and that means great, authentic merchandise. Our aim has always been to build something that unites fans, whether they love Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood, or even Hollywood. Rajini sir has been a huge influence in my life—I remember watching Sivaji on release day with a high fever. This collaboration with Coolie is the biggest step forward in our journey.”

Coolie, produced by Sun Pictures, is scheduled for theatrical release on August 14, 2025, is generating massive buzz as Rajinikanth teams up with Lokesh Kanagaraj for the first time.

 #2 Most-Watched Show on JioHotstar & the Only Animated Series to Make it to The List

Mumbai, August 04, 2025 : The Legend of Hanuman continues its extraordinary journey as one of the most beloved and successful animated series in Indian streaming history. The mythological epic, created by Sharad Devarajan and produced by Graphic India, has achieved yet another milestone ranking #6 across all platforms in Ormax’s Top 50 Streaming Originals in India for January -June 2026.

What makes this feat truly notable, is that The Legend of Hanuman S6 is the only animated series to feature in the entire list. Standing tall in the TOP 10 the show shares space with Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, Paatal Lok S2, Squid Game S3, Panchayat S4 and ranking above titles like The Great Indian Kapil Show S3, The Royals, Black Warrant amongst high-profile live-action dramas and mainstream entertainment. The series also ranks as the #2 most-watched show on JioHotstar on the list, solidifying its place as one of the platform’s top-performing titles of the year.

Season 6 of the series, which debuted on April 11, 2025, has extended the franchise’s legacy, emerging as a pan-India phenomenon with strong performance in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam and Kannada. 

Since its debut, The Legend of Hanuman has consistently topped Ormax Media’s most watched streaming originals charts (debuting at #1 in Ormax’s weekly OTT rankings) and JioHotstar’s weekly rankings for every one of its six seasons—making it the first animated series in India to achieve such a run.  Season 5 reaching ~9.4 million viewers in its release window and Season 6 soaring to ~15.2 million over its first three weeks—clearly illustrating the series' escalating popularity.

Sharad Devarajan, Co-Creator, Producer, and Showrunner of The Legend of Hanuman, shared, "To see The Legend of Hanuman Season 6 rank #6 across all streaming platforms and as the only animated series in the top 50 is a profound moment for Indian animation. This milestone proves that audiences across India are embracing animation as a sophisticated storytelling medium, not just a kids' genre. When we first launched this series, our mission was to create a transcendent moment for Indian animation that would reshape how audiences perceive the medium—similar to how countries like Japan and Korea have always looked at animation as a medium and not a genre. The fact that Season 6 reached 15.2 million viewers and is standing alongside live-action giants like Criminal Justice, Panchayat and Paatal Lok, means that we've successfully moved animation from the margins to the mainstream. Hanuman's timeless story of courage, devotion, and inner strength continues to inspire billions, and through high-quality animation, we try to do justice to the visual grandeur and spiritual complexity that his mythic heroism deserves. This success belongs to the millions of fans who believed in our vision from day one and proves that India is ready for a golden age of animated storytelling.”

Season 6 is once again directed by Jeevan J. Kang and Navin John. Daman Baggan is back as Hanuman in the vocal cast, and Sharad Kelkar provides his epic voice acting for Ravan. With its amazing graphics, moving soundtrack, and intensely emotional narrative, the show keeps pushing the limits of storytelling.

Mumbai :  “Piya” is not just a song—it is an experience. A cinematic meditation on the quiet distances that grow between people once deeply connected. Set against the breathtaking yet paradoxical backdrop of Dubai, this Hindi music video explores love that doesn’t end in noise but fades in silence.
Directed with deep sensitivity by Navneet S Kaushik, Piya stands out for its poetic pacing, emotional restraint, and visual storytelling. His vision brings alive a love story not of breakups, but of internal retreats—the kind where hearts drift apart even while footsteps still move together.

In a world obsessed with drama, Piya explores what’s often left unsaid: the invisible distance between people who share space but not connection. Dubai, with its vast deserts and glittering skyline, becomes the perfect metaphor - holding the tension between stillness and motion, beauty and ache.

Featuring – DAKKSHA
Directed by Navneet S Kaushik
Music by Roopesh Vermma
Lyrics by Ajay K Garg
Sung by the soulful voice of Madhushree
Cinematography by Vierendrra Lalit
Choreographed by Shivani Gupta

This hauntingly beautiful track is elevated by the extraordinary voice of Madhushree, one of India’s most celebrated playback singers. Known for her iconic songs in Kal Ho Naa Ho, Swades, Rang De Basanti, and Guru, she brings unmatched emotional depth and classical refinement. Her voice doesn’t just perform - it breathes through the lyrics, echoing restraint, memory, and loss in every note.
At the emotional core of the video is Dakksha, whose expressive presence and nuanced performance speak volumes. Her portrayal of quiet strength, suppressed longing, and deep emotional memory is both stirring and graceful. With silence in her eyes and poetry in her movement, she becomes the soul of Piya.

Each symbolic element - a galloping horse, a fluttering scarf, a glowing lantern - acts as a silent storyteller, embodying unsaid words and lingering memories.
With music by Roopesh Vermma, heartfelt lyrics by Ajay K Garg, and masterful visuals by Vierendrra Lalit, Piya is a tribute to love remembered in stillness, and heartbreak held with grace.

Coming soon to captivate hearts.

Because not every love story needs closure - some just need to be felt.

India’s pop culture just got a refresh. Raw, real, and rooted. Welcome to The Mish Mash Podcast, hosted by the effortlessly charming Manish Mishra, where no topic is off-limits and no guest is too filtered. In this unmissable episode, we meet a man who’s made the whole country laugh (and sometimes cry) — the ever-spontaneous Rajpal Yadav.

Whether it’s Chup Chup Ke or Phir Hera Pheri, Rajpal is that rare actor whose every scene feels lived, not performed. But beneath the laughs is a story powered by instinct, humility, and an unwavering belief in the heart.

From Soil to Spotlight

Rajpal’s journey didn’t start with scripts and spotlights. It began in Shahjahanpur, helping in the fields, soaking up the village’s quiet wisdom.

“Chhapphar akele nahin chhadhaya jaata,” he recalls, because life, like theatre, is always collaborative.

From school plays to the prestigious National School of Drama, his passion was never mapped out, just felt.

“Maine hamesha spontaneous life jee hai… animal instinct ke saath.”

That instinct carried him from Shahjahanpur to Lucknow, to Delhi’s National School of Drama, and eventually to Mumbai — not to become a hero, but to honour his voice.

Kabaddi, National School of Drama, and a Bhediya Move

In one of the episode’s most hilarious moments, Rajpal shares a story from his drama school days — a kabaddi match where the smallest guy (him) leapt like a bhediya onto a much larger opponent to win the game.

“Main bhediye ki tarah jump kar gaya… aur match jeeta diya.”

That same spontaneous courage, part play, part poetry, defines his work even today.

Characters You Can’t Forget Because They Feel Real

From the superstitious Chhota Pandit to the tender Raja in Chup Chup Ke or the insecure husband in Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh, his characters stay with us. Why?

“Script padhta hoon, par mehsoos zyada karta hoon.”

He doesn’t act — he becomes. Every twitch, every laugh, every silence is pure instinct. And that’s why audiences don’t just enjoy his characters — they believe them.

Legacy of Laughter, Lessons of Life

Rajpal reflects on his personal journey — losing his guru, his father, and finding strength in groundedness. He shares a turning point: a heated airport moment where his wife calmly reminded him,

“Jab log jaane lage to chid kyun hone lagi?”

Fame, he learned, is nothing without humility.

Politics, Philosophy and Papa-Preneurship

From dabbling in politics to dodging digital life (his wife handles all things Instagram), Rajpal opens up about navigating life on his own terms. He even jokes that despite acting in over 200 films, he still doesn’t know how to transfer money online.

When asked about the Bollywood versus South cinema debate, he simply says,

“It’s all Indian cinema — hum sab milke banate hain.”

Why The Mish Mash Matters

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a chai session mid-chaos. A story told not with vanity, but vulnerability. With Rajpal, you don’t just hear about cinema — you feel the mitti it’s made from.

So plug in. Laugh. Reflect. And maybe, learn what it really means to act with your whole being.

Because as Rajpal says,

“Main kuch ban ke nahi aaya tha. Bas apne dil ki baat maanta gaya… aur log muskurate gaye.”

From the poetic charm of Saajan, to the rebellious intensity of Khalnayak, the heartwarming humour of Munna Bhai MBBS, and the philosophical wisdom of Lage Raho Munna Bhai — Dutt’s characters have stayed etched in public memory. His patriotic grit in LOC Kargil and emotional depth in Mission Kashmir remain fan favourites, while his explosive comic timing in Haseena Maan Jayegi and Khubsurat has stood the test of time.

Ultra Play also features the gripping Zinda, where Dutt plays a man consumed by vengeance — a role that marked one of his most intense performances in the 2000s. 

“Sanjay Dutt’s journey in cinema is nothing short of legendary. He has portrayed characters that span the full spectrum of human emotion — from fearless rebels to tender-hearted romantics, from iconic anti-heroes to comic geniuses,” said Mr Sushilkumar Agrawal, CEO and Founder of Ultra Media and Entertainment Group. “With this special collection, Ultra Play is proud to honour a performer who has defined and redefined Hindi cinema across generations.”

Fans can binge on action-packed entertainers like Khatarnak and Thanedaar, or dive into ensemble storytelling with Dus Kahaniyaan. Also available are Do Qaidi, Do Matwale, Musafir, Ek Aur Ek Gyarah, Plan, Parineeta, Anthony Kaun Hai, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Shaadi No. 1, Nehlle Pe Dehlla, Sanam, Sarphira, Zahreelay, Safari, Pitaah, Alladdin, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Inaam Dus Hazaar, Main Awara Hoon, No Problem, and even a guest appearance in Woodstock Villa.
Ultra Play’s ‘Munna Bhai Forever’ campaign not only celebrates Dutt’s birthday but also spotlights a cinematic legacy that has left an indelible mark on generations of Hindi film lovers.

The launch was held on Khazana’s celebrated stage, which has long served as a platform that honors creativity in all its forms. The occasion was graced by legends and esteemed guests including Hariharan, Talat Aziz, Rekha Bhardwaj, flute maestro Rakesh Chaurasia, Sudeep Banerjee, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Pratibha Singh Baghel, Ojas Adhia, and Purbayan Chatterjee, whose presence and blessings added warmth and distinction to the event. The support of Nayab Udhas, Farida ji, and Reva Udhas, along with the entire Khazana team, was instrumental in making the launch memorable. The launch of “Dil Ke Behlane Ki” was met with warm appreciation from both purists and contemporary listeners present at Khazana.

Speaking about the release, Gayatri shared: “Dil Ke Behlane marks my debut as a composer in the ghazal genre — a project close to my heart. Set to the timeless words of Shakeel Badayuni, it brings together melody and meaning. Performed by a team of young, gifted musicians, the piece blends tradition with freshness. It’s an ode to emotion, nostalgia, and the enduring charm of the ghazal.”

Set to the evocative poetry of Shakeel Badayuni, “Dil Ke Behlane Ki” is a graceful blend of tradition and freshness. The arrangement preserves the soul of the ghazal while infusing it with subtle, contemporary nuances. The song features an accomplished ensemble of musicians including Megha Rawoot on sitar, known for her nuanced artistry, and Rahul Kathak on tabla, whose sensitive playing lends depth and authenticity. The track was produced by Steve Kottoor, ensuring a soundscape that complements the emotional gravitas of the lyrics.

For Gayatri Asokan, “Dil Ke Behlane Ki” represents not only a personal creative milestone but also a heartfelt effort to introduce the ghazal tradition to a wider, younger audience. By choosing to compose for a genre so steeped in history, Gayatri contributes to its continued relevance and ensures that the ghazal remains a vibrant and evolving part of India’s musical heritage.

The release was managed by BeatRootRaga, the independent music label serving as the launchpad for this special project. The track is now available globally, streaming across all major music platforms, with an official video scheduled to release next week.

Anupama Prakash’s 2025: Acting Breakthroughs and a Pan-Indian Production Vision

New Delhi [India] : Actor and producer Anupama Prakash is stepping into a new cinematic territory with her Telugu debut, Mr. Reddy, directed by Venkat Reddy and produced by TNR and Rajeev Reddy. The film, set to hit theatres on 18 July 2025, marks a significant milestone in her career as she takes center stage in Tollywood for the very first time.

Known for her layered performances and effortless screen presence, Anupama’s journey has never followed a conventional path. With every new project, she expands her creative horizon — and this foray into Telugu cinema is no detour. It’s a strategic progression, rooted in her desire to evolve as a pan-Indian performer.

In Mr. Reddy, early feedback from the film’s rushes suggests that her character is central to the narrative, with emotional complexity and quiet intensity. The story delves into themes of family loyalty and personal ambition, offering her a canvas that blends subtlety with strength. The music amplifies this further, complementing the silences and moments of internal conflict that define her role.

But Mr. Reddy is just the beginning. Anupama is already working on three more Telugu films, each at different stages of production. Varying in tone and genre, these projects reinforce her commitment to versatility and substance — hallmarks of her acting choices since the start.

Simultaneously, she’s making waves in Bollywood with her upcoming Hindi feature What’s Up, currently in post-production. Set against a contemporary urban backdrop, the film explores the blurred lines between friendship, identity, and emotional clarity. Anupama’s performance — balancing wit and vulnerability — has already been described by the director as “honest and rooted, with an instinctive feel for how scenes should breathe.”

2025, however, is not just about acting for Anupama. It’s also the year she dons the producer’s hat. Along with creative partner Tushar Mehta, she has co-founded Kaccha Lemmon Productions — a Mumbai-based production house with a focus on fresh storytelling, emerging talent, and unconventional formats.

The production company has launched with a diverse slate that includes the youth-centric web series Band Baja Aafat, the feature film What’s Up, and a vibrant indie-pop music video Mirchi Billi, already gaining attention across streaming platforms. Importantly, Kaccha Lemmon Productions is not a vanity label — both Anupama and Tushar are hands-on with every project, involved from development and casting to final edits.

Anupama’s goal as a producer is clear: to create space for bold, meaningful narratives that often get overlooked by traditional studios. In several interviews, she’s emphasized her belief in content that has “sharp edges, layered characters, and emotional truth” — values that she upholds across formats and languages.

Whether it’s the grounded humour of What’s Up, the youthful chaos of Band Baja Aafat, or the musical flair of Mirchi Billi, each project reflects a clear vision: to take creative risks, reach new audiences, and tell stories that resonate with the realities of today’s generation.

With multiple releases lined up across platforms and languages, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year in Anupama Prakash’s career. But beyond the sheer volume of work, what stands out is her clarity of purpose. Whether she’s on a Telugu film set in Hyderabad or in a writer’s room in Mumbai, her focus remains unwavering — to pursue meaningful work, delivered with sincerity and built on trust.

As Mr. Reddy readies for release, Anupama is not just stepping into Tollywood — she’s steadily building a pan-Indian creative legacy. With her distinct choices as an actor and her emerging voice as a producer, she’s not following trends — she’s setting her own. And that’s what makes her journey one to watch.

The film’s gripping plot, centered around Christo Xavier (Shine Tom Chacko), a police officer who doubles as a mathematics tutor for local students, has been lauded for its fresh take on human relationships and community dynamics. Audiences have been particularly taken by the film’s unpredictable twists, which have left theatergoers both surprised and deeply moved. “I didn’t see that coming,” shared one viewer on social media, echoing the sentiment of many who have been captivated by the film’s ability to blend light-hearted moments with intense, thought-provoking drama. The narrative’s shift from a heartwarming premise to a darker, more complex exploration of trust, friendship, and resilience has kept audiences on the edge of their seats.

Shine Tom Chacko’s portrayal of Christo Xavier has been a standout, with critics showering praise on his nuanced performance. His ability to embody both the warmth of a mentor and the authority of a police officer has been described as “a masterclass in versatility” by reviewers. One critic noted, “Chacko brings a rare authenticity to Christo, making him both relatable and inspiring.” His performance has been a key factor in the film’s emotional resonance, drawing viewers into the story of a man who defies stereotypes about law enforcement by fostering hope and education in his community.

The ensemble cast, including Vincy Aloshious, Deepak Parambol, Binoj Villya, Meenakshi Madhavi, Nazeef, Anagha, and Divya M. Nair, has also received widespread acclaim for their touching performances. Vincy Aloshious, as Nimisha, a schoolteacher navigating her own challenges, delivers a heartfelt portrayal that complements Chacko’s intensity. Deepak Parambol’s complex role as Vivek has been described as “gut-wrenching,” adding depth to the film’s exploration of family dynamics.

One of the film’s most celebrated aspects is its depiction of a police officer running free tuition classes at a police station, a concept that has resonated deeply with audiences. This unique narrative thread, which challenges conventional perceptions of law enforcement, has been praised for its originality. Viewers have expressed admiration for how the film portrays police officers as allies who uplift their communities, with one audience member stating, “The respect between Christo and his students is so beautifully shown—it’s a story we don’t often see.”

Internationally, Soothravakyam has garnered a warm response, with audiences in the Gulf region and beyond embracing its universal themes of compassion and unity. The film’s vibrant cinematography by Sreeram Chandrasekharan, capturing Kerala’s lush landscapes, and its soulful soundtrack by Jean P Johnson, and team, with lyrics by Manu Manjith, have further enhanced its global appeal.

Producer Srikanth Kandragula, who also plays a pivotal role as police in the film, expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support. “Soothravakyam is a story that reflects the strength of community and the power of human connection. I’m thrilled that it has reached all sections of society, and I want to thank the Malayali audience for their unwavering support and for appreciating good cinema,” he said. Srikanth’s dual role as producer and actor underscores his commitment to the project. The background score has been hailed as a unique element that elevates the viewing experience.

Zineeverse Motion Pictures, the film’s distributor, shared their pride in the film’s global success. “We are immensely proud to bring Soothravakyam to audiences in 15 countries, including its upcoming release in Australia. This film is a testament to the power of storytelling that transcends borders, and we are honored to be its distributors,” said a Zineeverse spokesperson. Their collaboration with Century Cinemas, Lifeline Films, 2G Entertainment, and Pharas Filmco Motion Pictures has ensured the film’s reach across diverse markets, making it a significant milestone for Malayalam cinema.

As Soothravakyam continues its theatrical run and prepares for its Australian release, it remains a celebration of hope, resilience, and the beauty of human relationships. The film’s ability to weave values, sentiment and suspense into a nostalgic narrative has made it a must-watch, proving that stories rooted in the everyday can have a profound impact.

The name Raja Guru reflects both power and purpose, and so does his work. Set to make his big-screen debut as the lead in the upcoming family drama ‘AARADHYA’, releasing in theatres on July 18, 2025, Raja's path has been filled with challenges. Yet he refuses to call it a struggle. “When you have dreams in your eyes and a burning desire to fulfill them, the struggle doesn’t seem like a burden — it just feels like hard work with your eyes fixed on the goal,” he says. “We didn’t worry about the path, we just kept walking — people joined us along the way, and a caravan was formed.”

Staying Positive Amid Pressure

Many aspiring actors lose themselves to stress and uncertainty during their struggle, but Raja Guru stayed calm and grounded. “Staying positive is an art,” he shares. “I never let myself sink into depression. I believe one must practice being happy and positive in every situation — it makes all the difference.”

His journey began with the TV serial "Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se", and each step since has been a learning experience. “Every project taught me something new. I’ve always remained eager to learn,” Raja adds.

AARADHYA: A Film Rooted in Culture and Emotion

Produced under the banner of Ardhnareshwar Creations, AARADHYA is the story of a young man who rises against society to protect his sister’s dignity. More than just a family drama, the film also carries deep emotional and spiritual undertones. Its narrative is deeply connected to the roots of Indian culture and tradition — a reflection of timeless values in a contemporary setting.

Alongside Raja Guru, the film features performances by Gyan Prakash, Pankaj Berry, Deepak Dutt Sharma, and Rupali Jadhav in key roles. The movie is directed and written by Sujeet Goswami, produced by Professor Amarnath Sharma 'Daddy', and co-produced by Tushar Sharma.

The soundtrack is another highlight, with vocals by noted singers Shahid Mallya, Rahul Saxena, Farhad Bhiwandiwala, and Krutika Shriwastawa, adding musical depth to the film's emotional resonance.

As the countdown to AARADHYA’s release begins, Raja Guru’s story serves as a beacon of hope — a reminder that dreams, no matter where they come from, can lead to powerful realities.

Dispelling long-standing rumours that Hari Hara Veera Mallu is based on a well-known folk legend, the makers have now unveiled a powerful truth — the film is not a retelling of an old tale, but a rich fictional saga deeply rooted in Sanatana Dharma, crafted for a new era of mythic storytelling.

Director Jyothi Krisna, who took charge of the project midway, has reimagined the narrative entirely, injecting it with spiritual symbolism and cinematic might. “Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a historical warrior — he is a divine manifestation, a fictional character inspired by the combined energies of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu,” shares Jyothi Krisna. “We didn’t just want to tell a story; we wanted to create a legacy. Veera Mallu is that bridge between Shaivism and Vaishnavism, like Ayyappa Swamy.”

The title itself reveals the spiritual essence — Hari symbolizing Vishnu and Hara symbolizing Shiva. This duality is seamlessly translated on-screen through potent imagery: the eagle, symbolizing Garuda (Vishnu’s vahana), soars as a silent sentinel, while the protagonist’s Damarukam (Lord Shiva’s drum) beats the rhythm of righteousness. Sources close to the film suggest the protagonist is a force born from both deities, destined to rise when Dharma is threatened.

Veteran producer AM Rathnam, known for his grand cinematic vision, has backed the film with uncompromising scale and ambition. Without pre-selling the rights (barring overseas and Hindi), Rathnam made a calculated decision to let the visuals speak first — and it worked.

The trailer release became an instant blockbuster online, drawing unprecedented attention and buzz. Distributors are now in a race, offering record-breaking sums to acquire rights. Rathnam’s belief in the film’s visual and spiritual power has paid off — and how.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a film — it’s a visual hymn to the eternal spirit of Dharma, a divine epic where mythology meets magnificence.

Witness the rise of the divine protector. Hari Hara Veera Mallu — where cinema meets Sanatana.

The track has been produced by Viraj Parmar, with music composed by incredibly talented Kushal Chokshi, additional lyrics by Munaf Luhar and video direction by exceptionally creative Saurabh Gajjar (The SHouse) —a team that played a pivotal role in shaping the success of the song.

India’s pop culture just got a bold new upgrade — say hello to The Mish Mash Podcast. It’s real, raw, and refreshingly unpredictable. Hosted by the effortlessly charming Manish Mishra, this no-rules, no-holds-barred show is designed for deep dives with India’s most colorful creators, artists, and outliers. And what a debut it is — featuring none other than the powerhouse of poetry and satire, Shambhu Shikhar.

If you’ve heard the iconic lines “Hum Dharti Putra Bihari Hai”, you’ve felt the fire this man brings to the stage. But who is the man behind the viral verses?

In this inaugural episode, Shambhu peels back the layers and gives us a rare glimpse into the journey that turned a small-town boy from Bihar into one of the most recognizable faces in the Kavi Sammelan circuit — and beyond. It’s a story of grit, grace, and good old-fashioned gumption.

From Mockery to Mastery

Growing up, Shambhu often found himself at the receiving end of casual mockery — just for being “Bihari.” But instead of letting the stereotypes define him, he chose to flip the narrative. His roots became his rhythm. His identity, his power. What began with school elocution contests evolved into a powerful poetic voice that today echoes in auditoriums around the world.

He’s now performed in over 38 countries, including the USA, Vietnam, Dubai, Bahrain, and many more — carrying Indian poetry with him like a badge of honor.

His journey? Far from linear.

From the stage of SAB TV’s Wah! Wah! Kya Baat Hai! to becoming a semi-finalist on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Shambhu has seen it all — the highs, the setbacks, and the moments of magic in between.

A Conversation That Hits Home

In the episode, Manish Mishra does what great hosts do best — he listens, he laughs, and he lets the guest lead. The result is a conversation that feels more like a cozy chai session with an old friend rather than a structured interview. Shambhu shares childhood memories, behind-the-scenes stories from his TV days, and the incredible experiences of performing at iconic venues like Delhi’s Red Fort.

But it’s not just the stories — it’s the way he tells them. There’s humor, sure, but also a palpable pride in his journey. A resilience born from being underestimated. A calm, unshakeable confidence that comes from knowing exactly who you are.

Poetry That Gives You Goosebumps

Throughout the episode, Shambhu treats listeners to spontaneous recitations of his poetry — and each one lands like a punch to the heart. His words are more than just rhymes — they’re stories, they’re memories, they’re declarations of self-worth and cultural pride.

One such poem that takes center stage is:

“Hum Shramanayak hain Bharat ke,

Aur medha ke avtaari hain.

Hum sau par bhaari ek padey,

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain.

Vedon ke kitne bandh rache,

Humne Gayatri chhand rache.

Sahitya-sarit ki dhaara mein,

Kitne hi kavya prabandh rache.

Hum Dinkar-Renu-Banabhatta,

Vidyapati aur Bhikhari hain.

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain,

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain.”

Lines like these stay with you long after the episode ends — not just for their lyrical quality, but for the emotion behind them.

A Promising Start to Something Special

With this episode, The Mish Mash Podcast firmly announces itself as more than just entertainment. It’s a space for real talk — where creators come to unpack their stories, not just their successes. Where laughter meets legacy. Where identities are not erased, but celebrated.

And Manish Mishra? He’s the perfect guide — someone who knows how to steer a conversation with both heart and humor.

If this first episode is anything to go by, The Mish Mash Podcast isn’t just a podcast. It’s an experience. One that’ll make you smile, maybe tear up a little, and definitely leave you wanting more.

So plug in, press play, and get ready — this mishmash of voices, stories, and spirit is just getting started.

This unique collaboration is part of Indian Garage’s ongoing commitment to celebrate its deep-rooted association with Bengaluru and foster a strong community of brand advocates through initiatives that resonate with the true essence of being a ‘Bengalurian.’

The ‘Yeno?’ track brings together three dynamic music talents — Gubbi, Awedeo, and Arcado. Gubbi, Bengaluru’s celebrated Kannada rapper, is known for music that showcases Karnataka’s rich culture and heritage. Awedeo, a 19-year-old rapper from Delhi, expresses his love for Bengaluru through his verses. Arcado, a rising music producer, is gaining momentum in both the Kannada and Malayalam music circuits.

‘Yeno?’ is a vibrant ode to the city — capturing its love for food, passion for cricket, iconic weather, green parks, evolving fashion, and deep-rooted culture. The high-energy music video further amplifies the vibe, with performances filmed across key Bengaluru landmarks, including Indian Garage’s flagship store on Brigade Road.

Reinforcing its brand ethos of connecting emotionally with the city, The Indian Garage recently collaborated with the popular “Auto Anna” for a playful Instagram reel. The video features Auto Anna cruising through Malleshwaram in a “street drip” avatar, cheekily referencing Fast & Furious, styled head-to-toe in Indian Garage’s fashion merchandise.

“At The Indian Garage Co., we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. ‘Yeno?’ is not just a song — it’s a movement to uplift voices that deserve to be heard and to celebrate the city that has been our home on the global stage,” said Anant Tanted, Founder & CEO, The Indian Garage Co. “We are committed to creating platforms that empower both emerging and established dancers, singers, and artists to step into the spotlight and share their stories with the world.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 26: One of the boldest cinematic experiments in recent memory, Kannappa redefines how Indian mythology is told on screen. With Vishnu Manchu at its emotional core, Prabhas bringing global magnetism and Akshay Kumar adding mainstream power, this film is destined to become a pan-Indian phenomenon that thrills, inspires, and entertains.

The Power of a Devotee

At the center of the film is a story of profound spiritual devotion: the legend of Kannappa, a fearless tribal hunter whose unshakable love for Lord Shiva propels him to perform one of the most selfless acts ever chronicled. This timeless narrative of courage and surrender is adapted for the screen with high-octane visuals, thrilling moments, and soul-stirring emotion.

But Kannappa is more than a retelling—it’s a reinvention. The filmmakers have reimagined this ancient tale through the lens of modern cinema, delivering an emotionally rich and visually explosive experience that resonates with today’s viewers while honoring its cultural origins.

Vishnu Manchu: A Heroic Transformation

Vishnu Manchu, who plays the titular role, delivers what many are already calling a career-defining performance. His physicality, expressive power, and emotional range bring Kannappa to life with raw intensity and spiritual gravitas. From battle sequences to heart-wrenching devotional scenes, Vishnu showcases an astonishing blend of action-hero dynamism and soulful sensitivity.

As the film’s producer, Vishnu has also spearheaded the project’s creative vision, ensuring that every frame reflects authenticity, cinematic scale, and emotional depth. His ambition, backed by a top-tier production team, positions Kannappa as a landmark achievement in Indian filmmaking.

Prabhas: Infusing Grandeur into Kannappa

Prabhas known for his international success with Baahubali, brings immense star appeal and grandeur to Kannappa. His special appearance heightens the film’s scale and draws in a global audience. As a symbol of cinematic excellence and mass fandom, Prabhas adds a larger-than-life aura that enhances the film’s visual spectacle and international reach.

Akshay Kumar: A Star Turn Rooted in Faith

Joining Vishnu is none other than Akshay Kumar, one of India’s most versatile and bankable stars. Known for seamlessly navigating between genres, Akshay takes on a transformative role in Kannappa—one that taps into his gravitas and larger-than-life persona.

In this mythological venture, Akshay embodies divine authority and emotional resonance. His presence in the film ensures a massive draw from Hindi-speaking regions and adds pan-Indian appeal. It’s a strategic casting that elevates the film’s market reach and deepens its narrative impact.

Akshay’s performance brings power and poise to the screen, marking one of his most spiritually nuanced roles yet. His chemistry with Vishnu adds compelling dramatic tension and balances the film’s emotional core.

Supporting Giants of Indian Cinema

Backing these stellar leads is a formidable ensemble that unites the best of Indian talent:

• Mohan Babu, a towering presence in Telugu cinema, brings emotional wisdom and moral strength.
• Mohanlal, the stalwart of Malayalam cinema, enriches the ensemble with cultural gravitas and screen mastery.

Together, this team delivers a cinematic synergy rarely witnessed on the Indian screen—one that spans languages, generations, and traditions.

A Technical Masterpiece

Kannappa isn’t just about narrative; it’s also a visual and auditory experience designed for the big screen. With a budget rivaling some of the largest international productions, the film features:

• State-of-the-art VFX that enhances its mythical setting,
• Lavish set designs replicating ancient temples, forests, and war zones,
• Authentic tribal costumes and makeup,
• A soul-stirring background score and original soundtrack that underscores the film’s emotional beats.

Each scene has been meticulously designed to create an immersive world—one that draws the audience into Kannappa’s spiritual odyssey.

A Celebration of Indian Culture

More than a film, Kannappa is a cultural event. It’s a story that blends action, spirituality, family values, and visual innovation into one powerful experience. It appeals equally to cinephiles, mythology lovers, action buffs, and family audiences.

The Devotion of a Nation

Anticipation for Kannappa is soaring. Social media is buzzing, industry insiders are excited, and moviegoers across India are eagerly awaiting this magnum opus. It’s already being hailed as one of the most awaited films of the year.

From the mountainous forests of India to the multiplexes of metropolitan cities, Kannappapromises to touch hearts, stir minds, and entertain like never before.

Experience a story of divine love, fierce loyalty, and unshakable faith—told with the grand scale Indian cinema is known for.Kannappa: Coming soon to unite hearts across the nation and the world.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : After two groundbreaking editions, Emergence is back with the third edition of its flagship music property, ‘Those Who Know, They Know’, scheduled for 28th June, 2025, in Mumbai. What began as a bold experiment in immersive event production has now become one of the most anticipated music experiences in the country.

Founded by Akash Kothari, along with co-founders Rachit Desai and Vidhanth Jain, Emergence has steadily built its reputation as one of India’s most forward-thinking event companies, blending technology, sound, and storytelling into experiences that go far beyond conventional nightlife. With Neel Mistry playing a pivotal role in leading production, the event’s technical finesse and flawless execution have only become sharper with each edition.

Each year, Those Who Know, They Know evolves in scale and vision. The inaugural edition in 2023 featured a 200-foot LED wall, setting new standards for live production aesthetics. In 2024, the second edition stunned the audience with India’s first-ever 3D hologram Visual Experience — a feat that captured attention worldwide. Now, in its third year, the show promises to deliver even more: This year, the experience ascends further with cutting-edge 3D holograms, 3D Moonroof projections with show-day surprises still under wraps.

Despite its enigmatic name, this is not a niche or invite-only event. Those Who Know, They Know has seen exponential growth in attendance — 3,000+ attendees in its first year, over 5,000 in the second, and now aims to welcome 7,000+ music lovers in 2025. Tickets are available through official platforms BookMyShow and are open to all — it’s the experience that filters the crowd, not the guest list.

“Our goal is not just to throw an event; it’s to craft an experience that resonates long after it’s over,” says founder Akash Kothari. “We’ve always approached this with a creative mindset — keeping the core of the music culture intact while introducing world-class experience every year.”

Unlike typical commercial events that rely heavily on mainstream names or trends, Those Who Know, They Know focuses on conceptual delivery, narrative-driven design, and a community-first spirit.

The production is layered with custom visuals, high-concept stagecraft, lighting design, and a soundscape engineered to create a fully immersive environment — something Emergence has become known for across its properties.

With other iconic events like Rang Utsaav under its belt, Emergence has carved out a niche where culture, creativity, and community intersect. The company’s deep understanding of experience design, combined with its commitment to pushing boundaries, makes each of its properties stand apart in a saturated space.

Those Who Know, They Know — Edition 3 promises to be not just a show, but a defining moment in India’s experiential event calendar.

In a rare but necessary moment of assertiveness, popular content creator Abhishek Malhan has taken a bold stand against toxic online behavior by calling out fellow influencer Sufi for repeatedly mocking and belittling creators. What began as a calm and respectful critique quickly escalated into a distorted controversy, fueled by misleading headlines and a fabricated narrative.

A viral article recently accused Abhishek of using a derogatory term in a now-circulating video snippet—an accusation that has been thoroughly debunked by viewers and fact-checkers alike. No such slur was used in the video, nor was any comment made that targeted gender identity or personal background. Instead, Abhishek addressed the consistent trolling behavior displayed by Sufi, who has been called out previously for his sarcastic takes on influencers’ appearances and content choices.

Twisted Headlines, Misrepresented Intent

The controversy stems from a video clip in which Abhishek candidly expresses frustration over Sufi’s constant judgment of other creators, particularly over outfits and personal moments. However, the backlash did not center around the actual content of the video—but on a false narrative suggesting that Abhishek had crossed a line.

“This is not about hate. It’s about putting an end to unnecessary negativity,” a source close to Abhishek stated. “He’s always been respectful. This was about drawing the line on behavior that has gone unchecked for far too long.”

What followed was a wave of support from fans and fellow creators who agreed with Abhishek’s point of view—many of whom have themselves been at the receiving end of Sufi’s content, including jokes around Triggered Insaan’s wedding and others’ personal fashion choices.

Breaking Down the Manufactured Narrative

The article in question not only used a misleading headline but failed to include Abhishek’s perspective or a response from his team—an oversight that undermines journalistic integrity. Here’s a breakdown of the key issues:

• Fabricated Language Use: The article falsely claimed Abhishek used the slur ‘chakka’, which he never did. This claim has been proven false by the video itself.
• Distorted Intent: Abhishek criticized judgmental behavior—not any individual’s identity or background.
• Lack of Context: The article omitted the months of prior trolling behavior that Sufi engaged in, isolating a snippet to mislead readers.
• No Balanced Reporting: The piece did not include Abhishek’s statement or comments from his side, reflecting biased reporting.
• Ignored Audience Sentiment: Public frustration with Sufi’s style of content was left unaddressed, despite being a key part of the conversation.

When Standing Up Is Mistaken for Aggression

Abhishek’s statement was neither aggressive nor disrespectful. It was a mature response to a trend that many believe is polluting the content ecosystem—mockery in the name of “roasting.”

“Standing up for yourself and others doesn’t make you aggressive. It means you respect your space and the community you’re part of,” said a fellow influencer who publicly supported Abhishek.

The situation brings into focus a larger conversation around influencer culture, online etiquette, and the responsibility of creators to maintain a respectful discourse.

The Bigger Picture

While the controversy around a single statement may fade, the issue at its core remains significant: when is criticism constructive, and when does it become cruelty?

Abhishek Malhan’s stance may have sparked debate, but it also served as a much-needed reminder that calling out negative behavior isn’t wrong—and silence isn’t always golden. In a digital space where creators are expected to accept judgment without protest, his voice stood out for being calm, firm, and necessary.

The title was unveiled on his official Instagram Account (https://www.instagram.com/sunilkothari1962/), where the announcement quickly captured attention and admiration from fans, industry peers, and the global Indian community.

Produced by Sunil Kothari, AVYAAN is a heartfelt narrative that explores the beauty of simplicity, tradition, and inner reflection — offering a mirror to India’s cultural values and emotional depth.

Directed by Gaurav Khati, the film’s poetic visual tone is brought to life by celebrated cinematographer Chandan Kowli, whose lens captures every frame with grace and authenticity.

A collaboration with Urban Boat Films, AVYAAN is more than a film — it is a soulful journey shaped by storytelling that resonates with meaning, emotion, and purpose.

“AVYAAN is about returning to simplicity. It reflects who we are — through emotion, tradition, and the lens of culture,” shares Sunil Kothari.

The first-look poster, depicting a golden-hued riverside at dusk, beautifully sets the tone for a film that invites audiences into a world of spiritual and emotional discovery.

Stay tuned for more updates as AVYAAN unfolds — a cinematic experience anchored in the essence of Indian heritage, brought to life by Sunil Kothari and his creative team.

Written over three transformative years, the six songs on the EP come directly from Max’s lived experiences: the electric thrill of first love, the slow unraveling of a romance weighed down by past trauma, and the bittersweet ache of memories that refuse to fade even after everything has fallen apart.

“I don’t sit down and write songs just for the sake of it,” Max shares. “Every track comes from a moment or event that deeply moves me. These songs are snapshots — capturing the real emotions of those times.”

From the butterflies of early love to the shadows of fear, insecurity, and heartbreak, Sunflowers & Dreams offers a raw, unfiltered look at the emotional rollercoaster we all face.

The visual storytelling around the EP is just as carefully crafted. The music video for “Young Again,” produced by Platmine Studio and directed by Garvit Arora in Delhi, traces Max’s journey through the pivotal ages of 15, 18, and 21. At 15, he was full of energy, thriving in sports; at 18, his world revolved around girlfriends and the rare night at a dance club; by 21, life’s challenges had sharpened his beliefs like a knife and strengthened his body like a gun. After heartbreak, he vows to “never love again” — though the question lingers: can he really keep that promise?

In contrast, “Gum Gaye,” shot in the peaceful coastal town of Alibag by director Rambo Kherwal, offers a dreamy escape. It’s about getting lost with someone special, forgetting tomorrow or even the next hour, and stitching together memories that will live forever in your heart.

A big part of what gives Sunflowers & Dreams its clean yet emotionally rich sound is the production work at Platmine Studio — a creative home where emotion meets precision, and where Max’s original vision was carefully preserved while elevating the sound.

But the journey doesn’t stop here. Max dreams of taking Sunflowers & Dreams on tour across India’s most beautiful small towns — Nainital, Pondicherry, Shillong, Manali — bringing these intimate songs directly to the people whose hearts they might touch the most.

And there’s more music on the way: new singles inspired by heartbreak, self-discovery, travel, and the endless lessons life offers — a fresh chapter after the bloom and the fall.

If Sunflowers & Dreams teaches us anything, it’s this: sometimes, you have to break a little to dream again. So go — get lost, embrace the moment, fall, rise, and live it all like never before.

Mumbai’s buzzing celeb corridors got more than just star sightings this week—The White Tiger actor Adarsh Gourav was spotted outside Andheri café holding what looked like 10s of smartphones. As the paparazzi swarmed him with questions, the actor answered casually—until they asked him about the phones.

“Kaha se aa rahe ho?” they asked. “Itne saare phones kiske liye?” he was asked. Adarsh, cool as ever, smiled and responded vaguely to the former—but completely ignored the latter. Suspicious? Just wait.

As he turned to leave, jumping down a step, he twisted his foot—a moment that may go down in paparazzi history—and all the phones in his hand tumbled to the ground. The clattering of glass and confusion drew even more cameras. In a low voice, he was heard saying, “Please cut this part.” But the internet? It never cuts anything.

Now, here’s where things get even more interesting: those phones weren’t just any phones—they appear to be the upcoming, unreleased TECNO POVA Curve series, set to launch on May 29th. So why was Adarsh carrying multiple units? Is he the new brand ambassador? Is this part of a larger, strategic marketing campaign?

Fans and internet sleuths are piecing the puzzle together. Some believe this entire incident was a carefully crafted “leak stunt” to drive buzz around TECNO’s new launch. Others think Adarsh was just caught off guard, holding onto several devices.

Either way, the stunt—or accident—has sparked massive intrigue online. Memes are flying across Instagram with captions like “When your exes call at the same time” and “Bro casually dropping my 3 months’ salary”.

With the brand’s launch date reportedly before May 29th, the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence. So we ask again: Is Adarsh Gourav the face of TECNO’s next big release? And more importantly—who will drop the next clue?

In a landmark moment for the Indian music industry, over 35 of the country’s most celebrated musical artists have unveiled a visionary new platform: Goongoonalo- India’s first artist-led, artist-owned cultural ecosystem. Founded by legendary poet Javed Akhtar, Grammy-winning composer Shankar Mahadevan, and technologist Sridhar Ranganathan, and helmed by CEO Sherley Singh, the platform marks a paradigm shift in how music is created, shared, and experienced.

Goongoonalo is designed to challenge the algorithm-driven music landscape by offering a human-centric, soulful alternative. The platform promises original content, unreleased classics, lyrical intimacy, and direct fan engagement.

As Javed Akhtar put it, “May 5, 2025, will be remembered as a historic day. Goongoonalo gives artists the freedom to create without the constraints of producers or music companies. It’s the first of its kind globally, where musicians, lyricists, and singers are shareholders. Artists will have complete creative freedom, and no committee will oversee their work. Members will also introduce new talents, giving exposure to emerging singers, lyricists, and composers. This is where there will be complete unity in complete diversity.”

This vision is echoed by co-founder Shankar Mahadevan:
“Goongoonalo is a platform created by artists for artists. It’s a stage to write the next chapter of music. Today is a significant and historic day for all artists. Through this platform, the dreams of many artists will come true.”

Sonu Nigam shared:
“When I came to Mumbai in the ’90s, we always wanted to do something that no one else was doing. Now, that dream will become a reality with Goongoonalo, which will become very important in the history of music.”

Prasoon Joshi added:
“Many times, we’ve had our mic and pens but by the end of the writing process, we were left wondering what it was we initially wanted to say. We’ve done a lot of commission work—now it’s time to commission our work to ourselves and say exactly what we had set out to express. Goongoonalo provides the freedom to think and create without any constraints.”
 

Together, a galaxy of artists including Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Hariharan, Sulaiman Merchant, Salim Merchant, Shekhar Ravjiani, Vishal Dadlani, Amit Trivedi, Irshad Kamil, Papon, Sameer Anjaan, Raju Singh, Kaushiki Chakraborty, Vijayaprakash Ramasesha, Srinivasan Doraiswamy, Loy Mendonsa, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Anand Shrivastava, Milind Shrivastava, Aruna Sairam, Anupam Roy, Harshdeep Kaur, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Bickram Ghosh, Akriti Kakkar, Shweta Mohan, Anusha Mani, Manan Shah, Akshay Hariharan, Rachel Singh, Siddharth Mahadevan, Soumil Shringarpure, and Joshua Singh are forging a new, inclusive path for Indian music-a future shaped by those who create it.

Lalit Pandit remarked:
“We’ve long awaited a moment where music could truly enjoy its own freedom. With Goongoonalo, that time has finally come. We’re thrilled to revive songs we always believed deserved a chance but were overlooked—and now, even our unreleased gems will find their home here.”

Shaan noted:
“This is truly historic. This is a one-of-a-kind universe, and it’s our universe—and we welcome anyone and everyone to be part of it. It started with good intentions, and anything done from the heart yields good results. We’ll strive to present our best songs on Goongoonalo.”

Ehsaan Noorani added:
“Goongoonalo opens up endless possibilities for collaboration. It not only enables us to create fresh music but also makes it accessible to the world-expanding opportunities to showcase our work for sync and beyond.”

Adding technological heft to the vision, Sridhar Ranganathan explained:
“At Goongoonalo, we’re building a platform where technology serves emotion. Our cloud-native architecture is designed to scale effortlessly—connecting millions of fans and creators in real-time, across geographies.”

Summing up the platform’s mission, CEO Sherley Singh stated:
“Goongoonalo is a living archive of culture and creativity. A space where a grandmother in Chennai can rediscover her favourite raag, and a teenager in Shillong can collaborate with her idol.”

Beyond the Launch
The unveiling was more than a product launch-it was a gathering of India’s artistic vanguard, united by a mission to reshape how creativity is valued, distributed, and experienced. With a full slate of collaborations, mentorship programs, and a growing calendar of live and digital events, Goongoonalo is poised to become a cultural cornerstone of modern India.

The Journey Ahead
While the Goongoonalo app prepares for its grand debut, the platform is now open at www.goongoonalo.com. Artists and fans are invited to register and become founding members of this new creative family.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 7:  In an industry where music often defines the emotional backbone of a film, Music director & composer Aikarth Purohit has emerged as the breakout star of 2024, with his powerful work in the critically acclaimed and commercially successful film The Sabarmati Report. The movie, produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and directed by Dheeraj Sarna, delves into the 2002 Godhra train burning—one of India’s most controversial and tragic events.

Amid a cast led by Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, and Riddhi Dogra, it is Purohit’s musical contribution that has caught national attention for its emotional weight and haunting resonance. As part of a team of composers that includes Anu Malik, Akhil Sachdeva, Arko, Kartik Kush, and Ramashrit Joshi, Purohit carved a unique space for himself by delivering compositions that are as stirring as they are unforgettable.

The Power of a Chant

The recurring “Ram Ram” chant, which forms the spiritual and emotional core of the film, is one of Purohit’s standout contributions. Used strategically during Samar Kumar’s (Massey) return to the site of the incident, and later in a climactic scene where a new era is proclaimed, the chant transforms from a traditional invocation into a symbol of resilience and rebirth.

The background score across the film has been lauded for enhancing the tense investigative sequences and adding gravitas to courtroom and media-driven confrontations. Critics and audiences alike agree: the music of The Sabarmati Report is not an accessory—it is a driving force.

Small Town, Big Dreams

Hailing from Udaipur, Rajasthan, Aikarth Purohit is no stranger to blazing trails. Already recognized as the first Bollywood music director from his hometown, Purohit’s journey from a city of lakes to the studios of Mumbai is a testament to the power of passion, persistence, and purpose. His story is inspiring a new generation of aspiring artists from smaller cities to believe in the reach of their dreams.

“It’s not about being loud—it’s about being truthful,” Purohit has said in past interviews, a sentiment that reflects in his understated yet deeply moving compositions.

Critical & Commercial Success

The Sabarmati Report has received widespread acclaim not just for its sensitive handling of a delicate subject but also for its technical finesse. Purohit’s contribution has been singled out in multiple reviews, with some calling the score “the emotional conscience of the film.”

With the soundtrack resonating across platforms and the film continuing to dominate discussions around contemporary Indian cinema, Aikarth Purohit’s stock has undoubtedly risen. He worked on this project with Ramashrit Joshi, it was their first project as a music director duo.

What’s Next?

While the industry watches eagerly for Purohit’s next move, the composer remains grounded. Insiders suggest he is already in talks for several upcoming projects, including films that aim to blend social narratives with strong musical undercurrents.

For now, Aikarth Purohit stands at a powerful crossroads—celebrated by critics, embraced by audiences, and increasingly recognized as one of the most promising musical voices in modern Indian cinema.

In a film built on truth, it was music that made the truth unforgettable. And behind that music was Aikarth Purohit.

New Delhi, 06/05/2025 : Arhan Bagati, a dynamic youth leader hailing from Kashmir, is being celebrated for his wide-ranging contributions across social impact, cultural revival, and now, the world of cinema. As the founder of Kashmir Yumberzal Applied Research Institute (KYARI), Bagati is at the forefront of initiatives aimed at sustainable development and community empowerment.

Under Arhan's guidance, KYARI is actively addressing critical regional challenges through forward-thinking solutions. A prime example is the introduction of e-rickshaws in Srinagar. This initiative promotes sustainable transportation and provides economic opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged communities, demonstrating an innovative approach to development challenges. KYARI also focuses on areas like education, sanitation, electricity, tourism, conservation, and economic empowerment for women. Notably, KYARI successfully organized the Lit Fest in Kashmir after a 33-year gap, a significant cultural revival that was inaugurated by the Lt Governor and attended by various dignitaries.

Arhan's unwavering commitment to creating employment and raising awareness for a greener society has been lauded. This recognition follows two years of impactful work by his initiative, highlighted by a recent post from Payal Mehta on X (formerly Twitter), who commended the scale and significance of his contributions:

"2 yrs to this big effort to create employment and awareness towards a green society. @IndiaKyari @IamArhanBagati keep up the good work."

- Payal Mehta on X

Beyond environmental advocacy, Arhan Bagati's work spans diverse domains. He has championed the integration of technology and mental health, authoring influential articles on AI-driven therapy and its potential to support marginalized populations. His vision for a balanced approach to technology in healthcare underscores his commitment to ethical and inclusive progress.

Arhan has also played a significant role in the Paralympic Movement in India as the Awareness and Impact Ambassador for the Paralympic Committee of India, developing initiatives to assist Indian athletes. His dedication led him to serve as India's first and the world's youngest Deputy Chef De Mission for the Indian contingent at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

His achievements have garnered national and international recognition, including being featured in the prestigious Hindustan Times 30 Under 30 list for Social Impact. His perspectives on national security, the socio-political environment of J&K, and connecting with one's roots are frequently shared through TEDx talks and publications in leading media outlets.

Further demonstrating his dedication to showcasing Kashmir positively, Arhan served as a co-producer of the recently released Bollywood film "Ground Zero." This major production, filmed extensively in the Valley, marked a significant return for Bollywood after over three decades, aiming to boost local tourism and the economy. The movie, which tells a compelling true story, is expected to draw significant attention to Kashmir's beauty and potential.

As India and the world navigate the challenges of sustainable development, Arhan Bagati’s leadership stands out as a source of inspiration for the next generation of changemakers.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 1 : Long before professional collaborations and industry recognitions, it was a college stage and a principal willing to fight for extra performance time that affirmed what Shaurya already sensed: music was more than a pastime. It was a calling. It wasn’t about applause or career planning—it was about an inner urgency, a creative force he couldn’t ignore.

In an industry often defined by inheritance and networks, Shaurya Mehta’s entry into music feels like a quiet rebellion. Born into a business family, his trajectory was never expected to intersect with studios, microphones, or melodies. But Shaurya’s voice—passionate and persistent—insisted on being heard.

Navigating the music world as an outsider, he describes the experience as “trying to run in a dream.” It’s a metaphor that lingers—surreal, slow, and often uncertain—but held together by something deeply felt. That weightless, strange sensation of movement without direction captures the limbo of trying to break through without a map, without a legacy name to open doors, and without a defined path to follow.

But even in that dreamlike state, Shaurya moved forward. Slowly. Intuitively. And always with feeling.

For Shaurya, singing isn’t just a performance—it’s a way of seeing. “I paint in my head when I sing,” he has said. “It’s beautiful, colourful.” That instinctive blend of image and sound defines the core of his musicality. Notes are not just notes—they are moods, brushstrokes, and atmospheres. There’s a cinematic texture to his voice, one that lingers with a kind of quiet intensity rather than explosive drama.

Most recently, Shaurya released his debut album, Tune Indo—a body of work that feels like a personal offering. Not made for trends, but made from truth. The album reflects everything

he’s been building toward: softness without fragility, restraint without distance. Each track is a small world, steeped in lived emotion. The title itself suggests a sense of invitation—not a demand to listen, but a gentle request to tune into something real.

Shaurya’s journey has already begun to draw attention, but what sets him apart is not spectacle. It’s sincerity. There is no formula here, no packaged story, no industry polish pretending to be authenticity. What exists instead is a voice that has grown from stillness, and a vision that doesn’t need validation to move forward.

In a world where visibility often outpaces talent, Shaurya Mehta stands out not for what he flaunts, but for what he builds—carefully, emotionally, and without shortcuts. He is, simply put, here for the people and the passion.

Shaurya Mehta has collaborated with noteworthy artists like Jyotica Tangri, Rupali Jagga, Anjana Padmanabhan, Kaushal Kishore, Bhagyashree, Srishty Rode and others, with more exciting projects on the way—including upcoming collaborations with Javed Mohsin, Rashmi Virag, and Kaushik Guddu.

About Tune Indo

Tune Indo is Shaurya Mehta’s deeply personal and genre-fluid debut album—an

emotional journey told through six songs performed in ten Indian languages. It’s not just music; it’s a multilingual, multicultural tribute to the unity and emotional complexity of India. Each track is carefully crafted with soulful vocals, cinematic textures, and heartfelt lyrics that reflect Shaurya’s signature blend of authenticity and artistic vision.

Rather than chasing trends, Tune Indo invites listeners to pause, feel, and connect—with themselves, with others, and with the language of emotion. It’s an album that celebrates diversity, sincerity, and the power of music to unite across boundaries.

Tracklist Preview:

1. Mahi Forever – featuring Jyotica Tangri

2. Thodi Der Aur – featuring Anjana Padmanabhan

3. Beauty Punjab Di – ft. Dhrruv Yogi (lyricist)

“Being an artist, I believe it’s not enough to just entertain. If I have the power to reach people, then I must also create with purpose, something that helps, heals or awakens. That is the kind of legacy I aim to build.”
— Prateekk Sahaaii

The Man Behind the Music

Prateekk Sahaaii is a multifaceted artist—an actor, director, composer, lyricist, singer, and musician—with a degree in Computer Science Engineering. He received formal acting training from 2018 to 2020 under Pt. N.K. Sharma at the Act One Theatre Group, an institution founded by Manoj Bajpayee in 1990.

Though acting and directing are close to his heart, it is music that truly fuels his soul. He began by uploading covers to YouTube between 2013 and 2016, and over the years, honed his skills in music and video production, editing, design, and digital marketing.

Looking Ahead

With songs like Nishaan, Prateekk is proving that independent artists can make a real impact—reaching audiences through honesty, artistry, and emotional strength. His journey is one of resilience and reinvention, inspiring others to rise no matter how tough the path.

Follow him on social media and witness the rise of a force where every track is crafted not just to be heard but to be felt. Motivational, cinematic and soul-stirring. This is only the beginning.

Follow the journey. Feel the motivation.

The ‘FAM Trip to Chile from India’ is the first action of the reactivation of the Film Commission Chile, which will be managed by ProChile and the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage. This aims to consolidate the interest of international producers in filming in Chile, connecting them with the Chilean audiovisual industry and encouraging future co-productions.

Sanjay Khanduri stated that “we visited some places in Chile and we have met with people who are developing policies for successful collaboration between the two countries. Our intention is to bring some excellent scripts to Chile and we are also interested in collaborating with scriptwriters to develop stories that can be shot in Chile and at the same time make commercial sense in India”.

Vivek Singhania added that this is his first time in South America and that he is looking forward to visiting the locations. After visiting the locations, its aim is to shoot a romantic film using the Chilean landscape with the main objective of promoting the country as a tourist destination.

Sameer Dharmadhikari added that “we were really excited to meet and collaborate with the Chilean producers”. His future plan is to make a film in Spanish and Hindi that could be attractive to both the Indian and Latin American markets, involving big stars from both countries.

The producers visit the streets of Valparaiso, the beaches of Viña del Mar and the Sea of Dunes and the San José mine, where the 33 trapped miners were trapped in 2010, in Atacama region.

The film has been generating significant buzz from the start, as it marks Vikrant's major project following 12th Fail and will be Shanaya Kapoor's grand debut.

 Producer Mansi Bagla, who has been deeply involved in every stage of the film's production, couldn’t stop praising Shanaya Kapoor’s talent and dedication. *Mansi expressed her admiration, saying*, “Shanaya is not only blessed with stunning looks but is also extremely talented. She brings an effortless charm to her performance which one will be able to witness on screen. Beyond being a promising actor, she is an even more wonderful human being- humble, hardworking, and eager to learn. It’s been a pleasure watching her grow through this journey, and I have no doubt she has a bright future ahead.”

 Mansi, who previously worked with Vikrant Massey in Forensic, is excited about his role in AKG, calling it unique and one that will be loved by all. Mansi shares, "Vikrant is a star, and this film will only make his brilliance shine even brighter. You loved him in 12th Fail and Haseen Dilruba, and now you'll be even more mesmerised by an even more intense side of him. He is an absolute dream to watch on screen, and I’m grateful we had the opportunity to collaborate on this project."

 Zee Studios and Mini Films released a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, with the cast and crew braving the cold in a foreign location.

 Speaking about love in the context of the film, Mansi Bagla shared her philosophy, saying, “Love has to be selfless and pure, just like the emotions we’ve explored in this story. You cannot be 99% in love; you have to be 101%, giving it your all, without holding back. The film beautifully captures this essence of love- intense, unwavering, and deeply felt. And yes, I truly believe that everything is fair in love- I don’t believe in war. For me, love is everything, and that’s exactly what this film portrays.”

Philojain Music Muse proudly announces its emergence as a groundbreaking force in the global music scene, led by visionary Indian

musician Amit Jain, known by his stage name Philojain. Blending extreme experimental electro rock, melodic metal, and progressive punk with subwoofer bass-driven soundscapes, the label is carving a unique niche in contemporary music. With over 18 albums already released and more in the pipeline, Philojain Music Muse is a testament to decades of musical exploration, innovation, and an unrelenting passion for pushing sonic boundaries.

A Journey Rooted in Rock and Metal

Amit Jain, the creative mind behind Philojain Music Muse, hails from India, where he grew up immersed in a rich musical environment dominated by rock and metal. “Music has been an evergreen passion,” says Philojain. “From my school days with rock to witnessing the evolution of metal—from heavy to nu-metal—it’s been decades of discovery that fuel my work today.” His stage name, Philojain, merges his love for philosophy with his Jain heritage, reflecting a thoughtful and introspective approach to his craft.

Philojain’s musical journey took a significant turn during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period of isolation that became a catalyst for productivity. “I had releases planned for years,” he explains. “With resources tight and time on my hands, I dove in. Most of my work dropped in January 2025, making a lasting impact for fans of experimental and progressive genres.” The result? A discography that spans 18 albums, with five more in development, available across all major streaming platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Qobuz.

The Sound of Philojain Music Muse

Philojain Music Muse is not just a label—it’s a movement. The music defies categorization, blending extreme experimental electro metal rock with punk, nu-metal, and progressive elements. Philojain’s meticulous attention to rhythm, riff complexity, and subwoofer bass depth creates an auditory experience that’s both unpredictable and deeply satisfying.

Tracks like “Riff Raff 130” exemplify his talent, offering intricate guitar work and melodic surprises that captivate metalheads and guitar enthusiasts alike.

“Music is my way of exploring the unexpected,” Philojain shares. “With ‘Riff Raff 130,’ I wanted to take listeners on a journey—something familiar yet entirely new. It’s about capturing raw energy and channeling it into every note.” His influences are as diverse as his sound, drawing from legends like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani, alongside modern acts like Slipknot, Pendulum, and The Prodigy.

The label’s commitment to high-quality production is evident in its use of modern hardware and software, delivering tracks in stunning 96,000 Hz glory. From the pulsating bass of Nubass to the neo-instrumental explorations of Neo-Instrumental Vol. 1-5, Philojain Music Muse offers hours of riffs and sonic innovation for fans to dive into.

Expanding the Muse: Label Artists and Collaborations

Philojain Music Muse isn’t a solo endeavor—it’s a platform for emerging talent. Alongside Philojain’s own releases (32 releases, 907 tracks), the label supports artists like Monk Chi (20 releases, 274 tracks) and Mamulogue (14 releases, 261 tracks). Named after Philojain’s late pug

—a riff-loving companion who inspired countless drives with music on full blast—Monk Chi is a side project that embodies his personal connection to his craft. “He’d scratch my speakers whenever he wanted a listen,” Philojain recalls fondly. “That energy lives on in my music.” The label is actively inviting collaborations, opening doors for artists to join its experimental ethos. “We’re building a community of creators who aren’t afraid to push boundaries,” Philojain says. “If you’ve got a vision, let’s make it happen.”

A Global Presence

Philojain Music Muse’s catalog is accessible worldwide through respective smartlinks and the press has taken notice, with glowing reviews. “The feeling of seeing my work resonate is what every creator aspires to,” Philojain reflects. “It’s been awesome.”

Looking Ahead

Philojain Music Muse is poised for a dynamic 2025. While currently focused on streaming growth and strategic ad spend, Philojain is

exploring live performance opportunities as a solo DJ act. “I’d love to play an underground pub in Europe,” he muses. “Those folks know how to rock out in style.” He also dreams of seeing his music animated into anime-style videos, a nod to his eclectic influences.

Beyond his own work, Philojain is passionate about supporting fellow artists. “Sharing across platforms, radio shoutouts—artists supporting artists is the way forward,” he says. As a holder of a Postgraduate Diploma in Global Digital Marketing from the University of Essex, UK, he brings a savvy perspective to the industry, advocating for better ROI for musicians and innovative platforms to connect creators with fans.

A Passion for Metal, Experimentation, and the Unpredictable

Philojain’s journey into music stems from his deep-rooted passion for rock and metal, dating back to his school days. Influenced by the evolving soundscapes of heavy metal and nu-metal, his work represents decades of musical exploration. Combining instruments, hardware, and software in innovative ways, he crafts fresh, unexpected sounds that defy genre norms. His meticulous attention to rhythm and depth has positioned him as a significant figure in the independent experimental metal scene.

New Releases and the Sonic Exploration of “Riff Raff 130”

Among his latest releases, Riff Raff 130 stands out as a sonic masterpiece that showcases his intricate guitar work and dynamic compositions. Blending well-timed drops with unpredictable bridges, the track is a testament to his relentless pursuit of sonic excellence. With influences ranging from Judas Priest and Black Sabbath to Nine Inch Nails and The Prodigy, Philojain’s music caters to fans who appreciate both the technicality and raw energy of extreme rock and metal.

A Musician’s Philosophy: Beyond the Riffs

Philojain’s approach to music is deeply philosophical, as his stage name suggests—a blend of “Philosophy” and his surname, “Jain.” Beyond the riffs and bass-heavy compositions, his music embodies a sense of exploration and self-discovery. Meditation and silence play a crucial role in his creative process, with each track designed to take listeners on an immersive auditory journey. His method of testing new music by blasting it in his EV while driving speaks volumes about his passion for experiencing music in its purest form.

Press and Growing Recognition

Philojain’s music has been gaining critical acclaim, with press coverage highlighting his innovative sound. His work is being recognized on platforms like ReverbNation, Spotify, and YouTube, where his fanbase continues to grow.

Future Plans: Collaborations and Live Performances

Although Philojain has yet to perform live, he envisions future solo performances and DJ sets incorporating his signature subwoofer-heavy bass.
