The grand reveal, held recently witnessed an electrifying response from audiences, in the presence of prominent personalities from the worlds of cinema and politics. The event marked not just a launch, but the ignition of a cinematic movement.

MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR stands as a bold, visionary leap into the future of storytelling — where mythology, emotion, and artificial intelligence converge at an unprecedented scale.

Set in a world governed by logic, where human emotion is deemed inefficient and faith has faded into silence, the film introduces Manikandan — a man shaped in stillness, alongside seven warriors raised within the disciplined shadows of a gurukul under the enigmatic Guru. As systems tighten their grip on humanity, he rises not as a savior, but as an anomaly — something no machine can decode.

Rooted in Indian philosophy and echoing a truth that stretches back 5000 years, the film confronts a haunting and deeply relevant question of life.

More than a film, it is an immersive cinematic experience exploring identity, consciousness, love, and the cost of progress — asking
Is humanity evolving… or quietly being rewritten?

What sets the project apart is its pioneering integration of Artificial Intelligence across the filmmaking process — from scripting and visual creation to post-production — while preserving a deeply human emotional core. The result is a seamless fusion of soul and system.

The film delivers high-intensity action inspired by ancient Indian martial philosophies, paired with a powerful soundscape that blends meditative depth with futuristic intensity — creating a cinematic language that is both rooted and universal.

Ajinkya Jadhav, of Papparazzi Entertainment Company, stated “The response to the first look has been overwhelming. This is just the beginning of something far bigger.”

Sandeep Jaiswal also lends his voice to the track, infusing it with a warm, emotive quality that enhances its romantic appeal. Lyrics and arrangement reflect a thoughtful blend of traditional Indian musical sensibilities with modern production values.

Behind the scenes, producers Nikhil Thakkar, Manveer Singh Kalsi, and Ranbir Kalsi have articulated a clear vision: to champion emerging artists and create content that resonates across diverse audiences.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seerat shared a candid photograph taken inside a private jet, capturing a relaxed and effortless moment between her and the superstar. The image radiates ease and comfort — two colleagues chatting comfortably, far removed from the glare of cameras and public scrutiny.

Along with the photo, she penned a heartfelt message that quickly caught attention:

“Happy Birthday, Bunny @alluarjunonline ?✨ You’ve always carried both your craft and your relationships with such natural ease — graceful, grounded and authentic. Wishing you endless success, great health and everything that truly aligns with you, on and off screen. Always rooting for you! ?”

Her words beautifully reflect the qualities that have made Allu Arjun one of Indian cinema’s most admired stars. Known for his unmatched discipline, versatility, and ability to stay humble despite tremendous success, the actor continues to win hearts both on and off screen.

What stands out in Seerat’s note is her appreciation for his “natural ease” — the way he balances a high-pressure career with meaningful relationships. In an industry where the spotlight can be relentless, this grounded approach is rare and deeply respected by peers and fans alike.

Seerat Kapoor, who has built her own reputation through honest and memorable performances in films and digital projects, has shared a comfortable rapport with Allu Arjun over the years. This birthday tribute feels like a natural expression of that mutual respect. In a time when public wishes can sometimes feel scripted, her message carried real warmth and authenticity.

As Allu Arjun turns 44, he remains at the peak of his career — a bankable star with a massive global fan following, especially in the South Indian film industry. His journey is a testament to hard work, constant evolution, and an unwavering commitment to his craft. Whether headlining massive blockbusters or spending quiet moments with loved ones, he continues to set an example of what graceful stardom looks like.

In a candid interview, Rampal described how the frequent turns in the storyline keep her creatively stimulated. “Every twist brings new energy,” she shared. “These twists bring a fresh surge of energy. They keep me alert because the emotional graph can change instantly. It pushes me to stay present and respond truthfully.”

The seasoned performer, known for her ability to deliver authentic and layered characters, acknowledged that while the twists make the character more dynamic, they also raise the bar for preparation and adaptability. “It’s a mix of both,” she explained. “There’s always something new to explore, but it also becomes more demanding as I have to quickly adapt to different emotional layers.”

Rampal’s process for tackling sudden script changes revolves around staying rooted in Preeti’s emotional truth. “Even if the situation is sudden, the reaction has to feel real.

The actress particularly cherishes the deeper, more dramatic twists. “They allow me to explore deeper layers of the character. Those moments are challenging but very satisfying,” Rampal added. These sequences have given her the opportunity to showcase a wide emotional range, earning praise from both critics and loyal viewers across Punjab and the global Punjabi community.

India’s digital entertainment industry has witnessed rapid growth over the past decade, driven by increasing smartphone usage and affordable internet access. Streaming platforms have become a central part of how audiences consume films, series, and documentaries across the country.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 08: Making a confident and surprising debut, 22-year-old Karen Kshiti Suvarna who brings a surprisingly mature and sensitive voice to a story about Alzheimer’s –  a subject that’s often spoken about, but rarely felt this intimately on screen.

The teaser offers glimpses of a man losing his grip on memory and identity, played by Pravin Singh Sisodia, in what already feels like one of his most restrained and affecting performances. There’s no dramatic excess — just moments that feel real, uncomfortable, and deeply human.

Karen Kshiti Suvarna’s approach to filmmaking is refreshingly subtle. By stripping away drama, she lays bare the raw emotion of Alzheimer’s, making the audience feel the weight of every moment. “I wanted the audience to feel that stillness and the emotional weight that comes with it,” she says, hitting close to home.

The film features a strong ensemble cast, including Priyanka Upendra, Zarina Wahab, Amit Behl, Ajit Shidhaye, Sachin Patekar, and Ricky Rudra, each bringing depth and nuance to this layered narrative.

Produced by Humara Movie, Visica Films & FMD Productions, with Films Max as co-producer, the film is written by Raj Shekhar and features music by Vinayy Chandraa. Adding an international dimension, actor and TV host Frederic de Vos joins as Associate Producer.

September 21 has already garnered attention on the festival circuit, having been showcased in the ‘Work-in-Progress’ category at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

The teaser sets the stage for a heartfelt cinematic experience that aims to create awareness and spark conversations around Alzheimer’s and its emotional complexities.

The film is slated for a theatrical release in May 2026.

While the world marks the founding of the World Health Organization and renews its focus on well-being, Sheena has chosen to share her deeply personal “actress-athlete” approach to health. Far from chasing fleeting trends, she has embraced a disciplined lifestyle rooted in ancient Indian wisdom and modern commitment.

Kalaripayattu, the traditional martial art form from Kerala, lies at the heart of her routine. Much more than a fighting technique, this ancient practice builds exceptional agility, flexibility, endurance, and sharp mental focus. For Sheena, it represents a complete discipline that trains both the body and the mind, helping her stay balanced amid the pressures of an acting career.

Her preparation for upcoming films clearly shows the impact of this training. In the pan-India project Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, she plays a cop — a role that demands real physical strength and stamina. For her upcoming Tamil film, the rigorous practice is adding authenticity and power to her performance. In the Tamil folk drama Bhayaavah, where she portrays a fierce she-devil, Sheena brings raw agility and intensity to life through challenging harness work and dynamic combat sequences.

A brown belt in Karate and trained in several martial arts, Sheena recently demonstrated her intense stick practice, displaying impressive precision, control, and unwavering focus. Sharing her thoughts, she said, “Every fitness journey has a story, and mine is rooted in discipline, movement, and mastery of craft. Kalaripayattu has taught me that fitness is not just about how you look — it’s about how you move, how positive you feel, and how present you are in every moment.”

Sheena follows her philosophy with remarkable consistency. Her daily schedule includes two dedicated workouts of at least 45 minutes each, one of them outdoors. She maintains a clean diet, stays completely away from alcohol, and ensures she drinks 3.8 litres of water every day — even during the most demanding shooting schedules.

Mental wellness receives equal attention in her life. Through daily reading and mindfulness practices, Sheena continues to strengthen her inner resilience. Her simple yet powerful mantra is to show up every day with discipline and clear intention.

As the conversation around health and fitness grows louder in the entertainment industry, Sheena Chohan’s journey offers a grounded and inspiring example. In a time when many chase quick results, her blend of ancient Kalaripayattu with steady modern effort stands out as a reminder that true fitness is a lifelong practice.

On the work front, Sheena is gearing up for a busy phase. She will soon be seen in Jhatasya Maranam Dhruvam, Arjunanin Allirani, the Tamil folk drama Bhayaavah, and the Hollywood film Nomad. Several other projects are expected to be announced shortly.

This World Health Day, Sheena Chohan’s message comes across loud and clear: real strength begins from within. By honouring both body and mind through consistent effort and ancient wisdom, she shows that genuine well-being is built one disciplined day at a time.

In today’s emotionally charged episode, Abhira confronted Arman and confessed she had acted out of fear because of Meher. However, an angry Arman refused to listen. He accused Abhira of neglecting Myra and using Mukti as an excuse to get closer to the family. Despite her desperate explanations, Arman made a painful decision — he removed her ring and declared that all ties between them were severed, leaving young Myra deeply shaken.

The situation turned heartbreaking when a distressed Myra tripped while running away. Although Arman rushed to help her, the little girl insisted on being taken away from “strangers,” further widening the emotional gap in the Poddar household.

Seizing the moment, Meher taunted Abhira, claiming complete control over Arman and Myra. She warned Abhira to stay away from her upcoming wedding. In a stunning confession, Meher openly admitted to killing Rajat, declaring arrogantly that no one could ever prove it. A resolute Abhira stood her ground, promising to send Meher to jail before her wedding, which is now only 48 hours away.

Determined to gather solid proof, Abhira took a major risk by attempting to retrieve crucial CCTV footage with Mukti’s help. She narrowly escaped detection by the matron and managed to transfer the data. However, just as she was about to send the evidence to Arman, Meher dramatically snatched and destroyed her phone.

In a chilling display of power, Meher revealed she had already erased all original CCTV recordings and controlled every aspect — including Myra’s school. She mockingly advised Abhira to take money and walk away instead of interfering, leaving Abhira stunned and momentarily defeated.

Adding to the emotional turmoil, a hurt Myra distanced herself from Mukti, calling their relationship fake. At the Poddar residence, Madhav and Kaveri reflected on the ongoing crisis, concluding that Abhira and Arman’s reunion now looks almost impossible.

In the episode’s final twist, Abhira learned that the remaining data could not be recovered, stripping her of all concrete evidence. Yet, even after this crushing setback, Abhira refused to back down. She remains fiercely determined to protect Arman and Myra from Meher’s dangerous influence and lies.

The current track has gripped audiences with its high-voltage drama, sharp confrontations, and layered emotions. Abhira’s never-give-up spirit continues to win hearts, while Meher’s bold and unapologetic villainy has added fresh intensity to the storyline.

As Meher’s wedding approaches, viewers are eagerly anticipating the next developments. Will Abhira find another way to bring out the truth, or will Meher’s carefully built facade remain intact?

With powerful performances and gripping twists, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to dominate prime-time television, showcasing why it remains one of the longest-running and most-loved shows on Indian television.

Having earlier appeared in projects like Naughty Gang, Dubki, Game 100 Crore Ka, and the series Shoorveer, Bansal stepped into national spotlight with Bigg Boss 17. In a candid interview, the actress reflected on how the show accelerated her recognition while teaching her valuable life lessons.

“My journey has been full of learning and growth,” said Bansal. “One big milestone was being a part of Bigg Boss, because it gave me recognition and helped people know me better. Apart from that, my work in films and music videos has also been important for me. Every project has taught me something new, but the ones where I got to show my real emotions mean the most to me.”

Though her stay in the Bigg Boss 17 house was relatively short, her straightforward personality and emotional moments earned her significant attention from audiences across the country. The show, hosted by Salman Khan, remains one of the most-watched reality programmes in India, often credited with transforming the careers of its contestants.

Speaking about returning to reality television, Bansal maintained a balanced view. “I’m open to doing more reality shows, but only if the concept is interesting. Bigg Boss was a very intense experience, so I would like to do shows where I can show a different side of myself or learn something new.”

When queried about popular international-style formats currently trending in India, she expressed genuine excitement. “I think shows like Rise and Fall or The Traitors are very exciting. They involve strategy and smart thinking, which I enjoy. I would love to try something like that because it challenges you in a different way,” she added.

Bansal also opened up about her personal philosophy and drive. “I am very ambitious, but I would also like to stay grounded. I always want to grow and do better work. My ambition keeps me motivated and helps me stay focused on my goals,” she shared.

Emphasising her strengths both as a performer and an individual, she continued, “As an actor, I think my strength is that I can adapt and try different kinds of roles. As a person, I believe I am strong and positive. No matter what happens, I try to stay calm and keep moving forward.”

Looking to the future, the actress outlined clear professional goals. “In the future, I want to do good films, OTT projects, and maybe even work internationally. I want to do roles that people remember and connect with. I also want to keep learning and growing in my career,” Bansal concluded.

Industry insiders observe that many Bigg Boss contestants are now strategically expanding into digital platforms and international content. Bansal’s willingness to explore intellectually demanding formats such as strategy-based reality shows signals a maturing approach among the new generation of actors who seek both visibility and personal development.

Her comments reflect a thoughtful balance between ambition and humility — a combination increasingly valued in the fast-evolving Indian entertainment industry, where public recognition through reality television often serves as a launchpad for more substantial acting opportunities in films and OTT series.

With a growing body of work across cinema, web series, and reality television, Soniya Bansal continues to carve a distinct identity for herself. Her journey highlights how intense experiences like Bigg Boss can serve as powerful catalysts for self-discovery and career progression when approached with the right mindset.

Announced with considerable excitement, the project brings together a vibrant cast led by Varun Dhawan, alongside talented actresses Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. David Dhawan, the veteran director celebrated for his signature brand of high-energy comedy and engaging storytelling, is directing the film. His films have consistently delivered wholesome entertainment that appeals to audiences across age groups, and expectations are naturally high for this new collaboration.

For Tips Films, this is not just another release but a strategic re-entry into theatrical distribution. The company has outlined a robust nationwide rollout plan aimed at ensuring the film reaches both multiplexes in major cities and single-screen theatres in smaller towns. This wide accessibility approach reflects the producer’s intent to connect with a broad cross-section of moviegoers who still cherish the big-screen experience.

The film is strategically scheduled for a favourable pre-summer release window, a time when families and younger audiences actively seek light-hearted, uplifting content. With its blend of comedy, romance, and mass appeal, ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ is positioned as an ideal summer crowd-puller that offers clean, enjoyable entertainment without relying on heavy drama or intense themes.

Varun Dhawan, one of Bollywood’s most bankable and versatile actors, brings his trademark energy, charm, and comic timing to the project. Having worked with his father on several memorable films in the past, their reunion carries a special emotional and professional resonance. Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, known for their natural screen presence and versatility, are expected to add fresh chemistry and youthful appeal to the narrative.

While plot specifics remain confidential, the title ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ hints at a youthful, fun-loving story centered on love, relationships, and the spirited energy of youth. David Dhawan’s directorial touch is likely to infuse the film with his trademark situational humour, lively sequences, and feel-good moments that have defined his successful career.

This announcement comes at an important juncture for the Indian film industry. After navigating challenging times, there is renewed appreciation for well-crafted, family-oriented films that can be enjoyed together. Tips Films’ decision to handle both production and distribution in-house demonstrates growing confidence among production houses to take greater control over their releases and maximise theatrical potential.

For David Dhawan, the project offers another opportunity to showcase his mastery in creating cinema that entertains without boundaries. For Varun Dhawan, it represents a chance to deliver yet another performance that balances commercial expectations with his evolving artistry. The inclusion of Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde further strengthens the film’s appeal to contemporary audiences.

• Aanchal Khurana emphasizes staying grounded amidst celebrity status.
• She adopts a selective approach to feedback, focusing on constructive criticism.
• The actress prioritizes self-care and mental well-being to counter public pressure.

The journey in the entertainment industry often comes with the dual challenges of immense public adulation and relentless scrutiny. Aanchal Khurana, widely recognized for her role in 'Tu Juliet Jatt Di', recently opened up about her personal philosophy and practical strategies for navigating these powerful forces.

Khurana's candid revelations offer a glimpse into the mindset required to thrive in the public eye, where every move is often dissected and judged. She spoke extensively about maintaining a sense of self and authenticity despite the constant glare.

Embracing the Spotlight with Grace

For Aanchal, fame is a byproduct of her passion and hard work. She views the love and support from her fans as a tremendous blessing, a powerful motivator that fuels her dedication to her craft.

A Measured Response to Criticism

The darker side of fame, criticism, is something Aanchal Khurana approaches with a clear strategy. She acknowledges that not all feedback holds equal weight. "You have to develop a thick skin, but more importantly, you need to learn to differentiate," she explained. "Not every comment is meant to uplift or offer genuine insight."

She dedicates time to activities that rejuvenate her, whether it's spending time with family, pursuing hobbies, or practicing mindfulness.

This holistic approach helps her manage the emotional toll that often accompanies a high-profile career. The entertainment world, much like the competitive pageant circuit where individuals like Suman Banu N face intense public scrutiny, demands resilience and a well-anchored sense of self.

“Stress today is less about what we have and more about how relentlessly we judge ourselves against an imagined ideal,” Somy said. “Circumstances matter, of course. Poverty, violence, illness, injustice are real stressors. But for many people who are materially safe, stress comes from the constant internal pressure to be more, do more, achieve faster, and never pause.”

Reflecting on modern definitions of success, she added, “We are living in an age where worth is measured by productivity, visibility, and validation. When your mind is constantly told you’re behind even when you’re safe, you stay stressed. Not because life is unbearable, but because peace has been made to feel undeserved.”

Speaking about why people who appear to have everything still feel dissatisfied, Somy described the idea of having it all as unrealistic. “Having it all is a myth sold to us without an instruction manual,” she said. “Modern society tells people to have success, beauty, love, money, influence, and do it all perfectly. But it never teaches emotional regulation, self-acceptance, or how to sit with discomfort.”

She further explained, “Many people who ‘have it all’ are exhausted by maintaining the image of having it all. They are terrified of losing it, being exposed, or slowing down. We’ve confused achievement with fulfillment, and applause with peace.”

Somy also addressed constant comparison as a major cause of unhappiness today. “Comparison is one of the quietest yet most destructive stressors of our time,” she noted. “Social media didn’t invent comparison, but it industrialized it. We now compare our behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reels every day.”

“Comparison steals joy because it convinces you that someone else’s life invalidates yours,” she continued. “There will always be someone richer, freer, younger, or more admired. Peace begins when you stop auditioning for approval and start living in alignment with your own values.”

Talking about the habit of always wanting the opposite of what one has, Somy shared, “That cycle exists because we confuse change with escape. When you’re home, you want to travel. When you travel, you crave stability. When you’re busy, you want rest, and when you rest, you feel guilty for not doing enough.”

She added, “The solution isn’t choosing one over the other. It’s learning to be present where you are. Ask yourself: what is this moment trying to teach me instead of what is it trying to take from me? Contentment isn’t about staying still forever. It’s about not abandoning yourself while moving forward.”

On the role of gratitude, Somy was clear that it must be genuine. “Gratitude is practical, but only when it’s honest,” she said. “Forced gratitude can feel dismissive, especially to those in pain. I don’t believe in toxic positivity. But I do believe gratitude, when grounded in reality, can recalibrate the nervous system.”

“Gratitude doesn’t erase stress, it creates emotional breathing room,” she added. “For survivors, gratitude is not about pretending everything is fine, it’s about acknowledging resilience.”

Sharing simple daily practices, Somy suggested, “Name three things that didn’t go wrong today. Pause before sleep and thank your body for one thing it carried you through. Replace ‘I have to’ with ‘I get to’ once a day. Write one sentence about something ordinary you often overlook. Breathe intentionally for sixty seconds, acknowledging that you are alive and safe in that moment.”

Concluding her thoughts, she said, “Gratitude isn’t about denying struggle. It’s about remembering you more than your stress. In a world constantly telling us we are lacking, choosing presence and gratitude is a quiet act of resistance. Peace doesn’t come from having more. It comes from making peace with where you are, while still honoring where you want to go.”

When Love Finds Space Between Chaos and Connection

A Soulful City Romance Powered by Nuanced Lead Performances

Story

This film presents love as something fragile yet powerful — something that grows quietly in the background of busy city lives. The narrative follows two emotionally guarded individuals who slowly learn that vulnerability is not weakness, but connection.

Roshni and Shashank are not cinematic dream lovers — they are real, flawed, occasionally awkward, and deeply relatable. Their relationship grows through conversations, misunderstandings, emotional pauses, and moments of unexpected comfort.

The metropolitan setting plays an active emotional role. The film uses cafés, traffic signals, late-night drives, and workplace corridors as emotional storytelling spaces. The city becomes a silent witness to their emotional transformation.

The narrative strongly resonates with modern relationship anxieties — timing, self-worth, emotional readiness, and fear of rejection.

Direction

The direction prioritises emotional realism over visual spectacle. The storytelling trusts its characters and allows moments to breathe. The film feels like observing real lives unfold rather than watching scripted drama.

The pacing mirrors modern relationships — slow emotional build, sudden realisations, and quiet acceptance.

Performance

Siddhant brings layered vulnerability to Shashank. His performance shines most in moments where dialogue is absent — conveying emotional conflict through body language and restrained expression.

Mrunal delivers a deeply immersive performance. She portrays Roshni’s self-doubt and emotional growth with remarkable subtlety. Her performance anchors the emotional core of the film.

Their chemistry feels natural, modern, and emotionally grounded — appealing to younger audiences while still honouring classic romance storytelling.

The supporting cast strengthens the narrative’s realism, while the music acts as an emotional bridge between story chapters.

Final Verdict

The film has long-term emotional recall. It is less about dramatic romance and more about emotional companionship.

It leaves audiences feeling hopeful rather than overwhelmed — a rare quality in modern romance dramas.

Ultimately, it is a film about being seen, accepted, and loved — exactly as you are.

In an era where love is often celebrated as pure and beautiful, Na Jaane Kaun Aa Gaya starring Secret Game fame Jatin Sarna, criminal justice fame Madhurima Roy and  Pranay Pachauri also can be mentiondares to explore the side no one talks about — toxic attachment, emotional destruction, and love that turns into psychological warfare. This is not just a love story. This is a story of obsession, betrayal, emotional scars, and the dangerous cost of loving the wrong person.

On the occasion of World Radio Day (13 February 2026), Mobius Films and Rajil Sayani proudly announce Behno Aur Bhaiyo a definitive, soulful and nostalgia-rich feature-length docu-biopic on the legendary radio icon, Ameen Sayani. The announcement comes days before his death anniversary on 20th February, marking a deeply emotional and historic tribute.

Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Brahmanand S Singh and co-directed by Tanvi Jain, the film traces the extraordinary journey of a voice that united India for over five decades — week after week, generation after generation.

 A Tribute to the Voice That Shaped India’s Musical Memory

Behno Aur Bhaiyo will blend rare family archives, unseen photographs, handwritten scripts and exclusive audio recordings, along with in-depth conversations with some of India’s most celebrated musicians, actors, radio stalwarts and media personalities.

The film promises to be a deeply nostalgic, culturally significant and emotionally resonant tribute to the man whose warmth, tone and signature greeting became an inseparable part of millions of Indian homes.

Beyond the life of Ameen Sayani, the film will also capture the evolution of Indian broadcasting, the golden era of music programming and the cultural shifts that shaped India’s listening habits across generations.

The filmmakers are in conversation with and expect reflections from an illustrious line-up of personalities, including:

Amitabh Bachchan,

Asha Bhosle,

Javed Akhtar,

Jaya Bachchan,

Mahesh Bhatt,

Raju Hirani,

Ramesh Sippy,

Shatrughan Sinha,

Sunil Gavaskar,

Virender Sehwag,

Varun Dhawan

…along with several other eminent names from the worlds of cinema, music, media and broadcasting.

The film is a collaboration between Mobius Films and Rajil Sayani, ensuring exceptional access to personal archives and invaluable memorabilia that chronicle the life and legacy of Ameen Sayani.

Speaking on the announcement, directors Brahmanand S. Singh and Tanvi Jain said:

 “Ameen Sayani is a national memory. This film is a journey through memory, melody and magic. It is our love letter to the man whose voice united India week after week, year after year.

Set against the vibrant cultural landscape of Assam, Bihu Attack attempts to examine terrorism through a grounded, regional perspective. Director Suzad Iqbal Khan focuses less on visual spectacle and more on the ideological and emotional impact of violence on society.

Story

Raj Kunwar (Dev Menaria), a principled court-martial officer, believes that education and social integration are more effective than endless warfare. A widower, he struggles to maintain emotional balance while raising his daughter. His beliefs are tested when intelligence reports warn of a coordinated terrorist strike during the Bihu celebrations.

With cross-border militants and sleeper cells threatening national security, Raj teams up with the IB Chief (Arbaaz Khan) to prevent a large-scale disaster. The narrative unfolds steadily, leading to a tense and message-driven climax.

Performances

Dev Menaria’s performance is subtle and sincere, anchoring the film emotionally. Arbaaz Khan brings calm authority to his role, while Daisy Shah’s limited screen time is used efficiently. Veteran actors like Raza Murad and Rahul Dev add gravitas, though the script leaves little room for deeper character arcs.

Direction and Technical Aspects

The film’s strength lies in its realistic tone. Suzad Iqbal Khan avoids exaggeration, though the pacing could have been tighter. The background score supports the narrative without drawing attention to itself, and the minimal music complements the film’s seriousness.

Final Verdict

Bihu Attack is not a conventional thriller but an issue-oriented film rooted in cultural context. Its execution may be uneven, but its intent is clear. The film ultimately stands as a reminder that producer Prabir Kanta Saha took a courageous step in bringing such a subject to the screen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When it comes to sheer comic chemistry, Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma once again prove why they remain one of Bollywood’s most loved comedy pairings. In Rahu Ketu, the duo delivers consistently hilarious, rhythm-perfect performances, feeding off each other’s timing, expressions and spontaneity. Their effortless banter, physical comedy and emotional ease form the beating heart of the film, making it an engaging watch even when the narrative momentarily wanders. This is classic Bollywood buddy comedy—energised, playful and thoroughly entertaining.

Rahu Ketu chooses a lighter, smarter route. Rooted in humour, friendship and a mischievous mythological twist, the film offers a feel-good experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet knows exactly what it wants to be.

Story

Set in a small town in Himachal Pradesh, the story opens with struggling writer Churu Lal Sharma (Manu Rishi Chadha), creatively blocked and desperate for a breakthrough. The plot takes an intriguing turn with the arrival of the enigmatic Phuphaji (Piyush Mishra), who possesses a magical book—one that can turn written words into reality.
From this book emerge Rahu and Ketu, two odd yet oddly lovable characters whose presence seems to bring chaos wherever they go. Declared unlucky by the townspeople, the duo themselves remain clueless about the cosmic reason behind their misfortune. Running alongside is Meenu’s (Shalini Pandey) story—secretly entangled with a dangerous local criminal, Mordekhai (Chunky Pandey)—adding both tension and comic friction to the narrative.

The film smartly balances fantasy with grounded humour, allowing the magic to enhance the storytelling without overwhelming it.

Performances
The film belongs squarely to Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat. Varun’s Rahu is loud, expressive and irresistibly funny, while Pulkit’s Ketu brings restraint, timing and situational humour to the table. Together, they elevate even the simplest scenes into laugh-worthy moments.

Shalini Pandey impresses with a confident, sharp-edged performance, bringing emotional stability amid the madness. Piyush Mishra lends gravitas and intrigue to Phuphaji, grounding the film’s fantastical elements. Chunky Pandey clearly enjoys his role, while Amit Sial, Manu Rishi Chadha and Sumit Gulati add depth and flavour to the ensemble.

Direction
The film’s humour flows largely from situations rather than forced punchlines, keeping the narrative unpredictable and fresh. The pacing is mostly tight, though the runtime could have benefited from a slightly crisper edit. Visually, Himachal Pradesh is captured in an earthy, lived-in manner, becoming part of the story rather than a postcard backdrop.
The music remains upbeat and well-placed, enhancing the mood without interrupting the film’s flow.

Final Verdict
Rahu Ketu is a classic Bollywood entertainer with a modern sensibility—powered by crackling chemistry, playful mythology and strong ensemble performances. While not without minor flaws, the film delivers where it matters most: laughs, warmth and entertainment. Thanks to the Pulkit–Varun pairing firing on all cylinders, Rahu Ketu emerges as a pleasant surprise and a solid theatrical watch.

Story

Raju (Prabhas) is a restless, impulsive, and free-spirited young man whose emotional world centers on his grandmother, Gangadevi—affectionately called Gangamma (Zarina Wahab). A once-feared and revered zamindar, Gangadevi now lives in destitution, battling mental illness, convinced that her family’s ruin began when a sacred necklace belonging to the village deity was stolen. Her husband, Kanakraju (Sanjay Dutt), vanished decades ago while pursuing the thief, leaving behind a legacy of mystery, loss, and myth.

When doctors suggest that reuniting her with Kanakraju might aid her recovery, Raju embarks on a deeply personal search for his missing grandfather. The quest pulls him to Hyderabad, where past and present collide, and emotional fractures, moral crossroads, and hidden family truths begin to unravel. His childhood confidante Anitha (Riddhi Kumar) and the enigmatic Bhairavi (Malavika Mohanan) soon become key pieces in a puzzle that is far darker—and stranger—than he imagined.

The turning point arrives when Raju discovers a terrifying truth about Kanakraju, one that shifts the mission from rescue to reckoning. The journey crescendos into a cursed forest palace, where the battle for truth becomes a battle of bloodline—an intimate family conflict wrapped in towering supernatural stakes.

Performances

Prabhas is the festival and the flame—magnetic in silence, monumental in confrontation. Sanjay Dutt’s flashback arc is haunting, layered, and unforgettable—his descent more chilling than any curse. Zarina Wahab’s performance carries aching sincerity, giving the film its emotional pulse. Boman Irani provides structural brilliance as the pivot where myth meets logic. The ensemble holds steady, supporting the cinematic architecture.

Direction & Storytelling

Maruthi Dasari directs like a man composing a storm. Horror, humor, fantasy, and heartbreak co-exist without chaos. The interval is a tonal pivot. The second half rises into confrontation. The climax delivers payoff.

Technical & Craft

International-grade VFX peaks in the climax. Cultural texture peaks in the storytelling. Big-screen payoff peaks in audience impact.

Final Take

A confident horror-fantasy layered with emotional depth and anchored by a compelling hero-villain dynamic. The face-off between Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt fuels the film’s strongest energy, giving weight to both conflict and payoff. The narrative appeals equally to family audiences and genre lovers, striking a rare balance between supernatural spectacle and heartfelt storytelling. With controlled craft across departments and immersive atmosphere, The Raja Saab emerges as a composed, emotionally grounded genre film that builds patiently and delivers decisively—making it a steady-run theatrical experience best enjoyed on the big screen, with strong repeat-watch value and broad festive appeal.

A film made for crowds, curses, catharsis, and celebrations—The Raja Saab stays honest to its heart even when the shadows grow taller than the palace. A festive supernatural ride that invites repeat footfalls and delivers emotional recall.

The clash erupted when Aarush’s temper flared, crossing into what many described as unacceptable aggression toward Arbaz.

The remark cut through the tension, highlighting the importance of maintaining respect even in the high-stakes environment of Rise and Fall.

Arbaz further solidified his stance, stating, “I won’t be shaken by violence or personal attacks.

Now, taking another compassionate step, Guru Randhawa has assured support to the farmers of Punjab. He has announced that once the floodwaters recede and life begins to stabilize, he will distribute wheat seeds to all flood-affected farmers, enabling them to restart farming and rebuild their lives with dignity.

This initiative highlights his deep connection to his roots and his commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with Punjab in its toughest times.

 Guru Randhawa’s Statement:

"When this flood ends and the water level goes down, I will distribute wheat seeds to the flood-affected villages so that the next crop can be sown, and people can make a fresh start."

Renowned for its grandeur and deep community engagement, the Bandra-based Mandal continues to draw prominent personalities and devotees alike. This year’s celebration was no exception, with the venue decorated in stunning floral arrangements, vibrant lights, and a traditional setup that honored Lord Ganesha’s divine presence.

Sonyaa Ayoddhya, best known for her roles in popular television series, was seen immersing herself in the festive spirit. Dressed elegantly, she joined fellow devotees in offering prayers and seeking blessings from Lord Ganesha. Her composed demeanor and spiritual engagement drew admiration from onlookers and fellow guests.

The evening turned even more vibrant with the arrival of music sensations Meet Brothers and celebrated actress Urmila Matondkar. Their participation elevated the festivities, creating an atmosphere of joyous cultural unity. With smiles, folded hands, and shared devotion, the guests reflected the harmony that festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi aim to foster.

Speaking on the occasion, Advocate Ashish Shelar emphasized the Mandal’s mission of preserving tradition while creating a shared space for cultural celebration. “Ganesh Utsav is not just about devotion, but also about community, inclusivity, and cultural heritage,” he remarked, warmly welcoming all guests.

Directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, "Jatadhara" positions itself as a mythological thriller that weaves Indian mythology with pulse-pounding action and dark fantasy. The earlier teaser and posters have already teased elements like the iconic trident, ominous thundering clouds, devoted followers of Lord Shiva, and a fierce portrayal by lead actress Sonakshi Sinha. These motifs not only amplify the story's power but also promise an immersive experience that could resonate with audiences seeking more than just surface-level entertainment. Produced under the banners of Zee Studios and Prerna Arora, the film is poised to deliver top-tier visual effects, or VFX, which seem integral to bringing its fantastical world to life. From what we've seen so far, the production values suggest a commitment to authenticity and innovation, drawing on reliable industry expertise to merge tradition with contemporary flair.

Shirodkar's entry into the cast is particularly noteworthy. Known for her roles in classic films, her return in this capacity feels like a calculated move to add gravitas. Paired with Sinha and Sudheer Babu, who headline the project, the ensemble promises a dynamic interplay of characters. Babu, with his track record in thrillers, and Sinha, fresh off diverse roles, bring their own star power, but Shirodkar's Shobha could be the wildcard that elevates the intrigue. The producers' decision to highlight her role early on indicates confidence in its impact, and it's easy to see why—her poster alone fuels speculation about how greed and mysticism will collide in the plot.

As we await more details, the film's release remains shrouded in mystery, with no official date announced yet. Industry whispers point toward a theatrical rollout by year's end, which would make it a fitting closer to a packed calendar of releases. In an era where audiences crave stories rooted in cultural heritage yet infused with modern twists, "Jatadhara" stands out for its bold approach. It's a reminder of cinema's power to explore human flaws like greed through fantastical lenses, all while maintaining a balance that's fair and engaging. For fans and newcomers alike, this poster is more than just a reveal—it's a tantalizing glimpse into what could be one of the year's most talked-about films. Keep an eye out; if the buildup is any indication, "Jatadhara" might just redefine the mythological genre.

The episode centers on Adhir’s mission to neutralize a nuclear threat, a high-stakes scenario that tests not just his skills but his very sense of self. Kasturia’s nuanced performance—marked by subtle signs of inner turmoil, such as hesitant speech and a strained demeanor—brings to life a character grappling with the weight of his choices. Unlike the archetypal spy defined by bravado, Adhir is a deeply relatable figure, torn between his unwavering patriotism and the personal toll of his actions. Salakaar shines in these introspective moments, where the real drama lies not in external conflicts but in the quiet battles within.

What sets Salakaar apart is its refusal to romanticize espionage or present patriotism as a straightforward virtue. The show portrays spies as flawed individuals, burdened by the lies they tell loved ones and the ethical lines they cross in the name of duty. Adhir’s journey is marked by a persistent sense of guilt, as each mission forces him to question whether the greater good justifies the personal sacrifices he makes. The narrative highlights a stark reality: even a successful mission can feel like a defeat when it erodes one’s humanity. This emotional depth resonates with viewers, offering a fresh take on a genre often dominated by spectacle.

The episode’s strength lies in its exploration of the moral ambiguities of espionage. It poses challenging questions: Can duty outweigh the cost to one’s conscience? Is sacrifice noble when it demands betrayal? Through Adhir’s struggles, Salakaar humanizes the spy, presenting him not as a hero but as an ordinary person navigating extraordinary circumstances. The show’s creators craft a story that feels authentic, drawing on universal themes of loyalty, guilt, and morality to create a narrative that is both compelling and thought-provoking.

Visually, Salakaar balances tense mission sequences with moments of quiet reflection, allowing Adhir’s inner conflict to take center stage. Kasturia’s understated yet powerful performance grounds the episode, making Adhir’s dilemmas palpable. By focusing on the human element, the show avoids genre clichés, earning its place as a must-watch for those who value storytelling with substance.

As the episode concludes, it leaves viewers contemplating the delicate balance between duty and humanity. Salakaar doesn’t offer easy resolutions, instead inviting reflection on the sacrifices demanded by a life in espionage. Its bold narrative and richly drawn characters make it a powerful addition to the spy genre, challenging audiences to consider the personal cost of serving a greater cause. With Adhir’s journey far from over, one question looms large: Can a spy preserve their humanity in a profession that demands its surrender? Salakaar continues to captivate as it explores this profound moral struggle.

In the latest episode broadcast this week, viewers witnessed Riddhi make the difficult decision to contact law enforcement after her brother Pratham physically assaulted his wife Manjari. The storyline depicts Riddhi refusing to remain silent about domestic abuse, even when the perpetrator is a family member.

Family Dynamics and Social Commentary

The episode highlighted the complex dynamics often present in domestic violence situations. While Manjari initially hesitated to speak against her husband, Riddhi encouraged her sister-in-law to break her silence. The show's writers used this moment to deliver a broader social message about the importance of speaking out against abuse.

"A slap is never just a slap," Riddhi's character declared in the episode, emphasizing how physical violence damages both dignity and emotional well-being. The dialogue referenced generational patterns of abuse, with Riddhi confronting her mother Kanchan about similar experiences in her own marriage.

Mother's Controversial Response

The episode took an unexpected turn when Kanchan, instead of supporting her daughter's moral stand, became angry about the police involvement. The character argued that Pratham's single act of violence didn't warrant legal intervention and accused Riddhi of damaging the family's reputation.

The dramatic climax featured Kanchan delivering what the show portrayed as a mother's curse, predicting that Riddhi would never find happiness with her partner Neel. This supernatural element added traditional dramatic tension while maintaining the episode's focus on family conflict over domestic violence intervention.

As Bela, Kaur portrays a character who blends warmth with fierce resolve. “Bela is compassionate but fearless when it comes to protecting Samrat,” she said. “Her love is almost like a mother’s, and she’ll stand up to any injustice. That intensity made the role irresistible to me.” Kaur’s performance promises to bring a relatable and inspiring character to life, one that viewers can connect with on a personal level.

The authenticity of Bela’s appearance also resonated with Kaur. “Her look is simple—no heavy jewelry or elaborate styling,” she noted. “It keeps Bela grounded and real, like someone you’d meet in everyday life. That simplicity makes her character even more impactful.” This commitment to realism strengthens the show’s emotional pull, aligning with its aim to forge a deep connection with its audience.

Collaborating with Inspire Films has been a highlight for Kaur. “This is my first project with them, and it’s been a joy,” she shared. “The team is flexible with my schedule, and the set has a warm, collaborative vibe. It’s the perfect environment to bring a story like this to life.” This supportive dynamic has allowed Kaur to fully embody Bela, setting the stage for a compelling performance.

Mumbai: Actor Akshay Nalawade, known for his powerful portrayals of Garud Dev in Shiv Shakti: Tap Tyag Tandav and Kakbhushundi in Ramayan, revealed that his athletic build has been both a blessing and a limitation in his acting career.

“I have faced some typecasting due to my athletic build. I often get roles related to action or tough characters, especially warriors in mythological shows. But that’s just one aspect; otherwise, I’ve played a variety of roles throughout my career,” he shared.

Akshay also spoke about his rooted approach to storytelling, emphasising that challenging societal norms through his work has never been his goal. “I truly believe in our culture, religion, generation, and region. Everyone has their own set of beliefs, and I would never want to hurt them in any way through my acting. If I ever portray such a character, I would ensure it doesn’t hurt anyone’s sentiments,” he added.

Passionate about India’s heritage, Akshay expressed his desire to bring stories of unsung heroes to the screen. “I’m a proud desh bhakt (patriot). I feel we know so little about our real-life heroes—our kings, our history. Today, people often know more about other countries than their own. Cinema can be a powerful medium to teach, learn, and showcase the beauty of India, both past and present,” he said.

Looking ahead, Akshay dreams of playing characters rooted in real stories that reflect the nation’s rich history and cultural pride.

When asked about the rising problem of cringe and vulgar content on platforms like Instagram, Nikita shared her strong views. She said,

"I love social media. Today, it's an irreplaceable part of our lives. People of all age groups – teenagers, youngsters, mid-aged and old – are on it. Imagine its potential if used positively to motivate and influence lives. While I see good content, I also come across obscene, vulgar, and cringe videos that aren’t fit for platforms like Instagram, which has users from all age groups, including children."

Nikita added that although fun dance videos or hilarious reels provide genuine entertainment to tired minds, vulgar content does not add any positive value. She questioned the creators of such content, saying,

"If someone wants to post vulgar content, they can, but Instagram isn’t the platform for it. Many people have zero idea what they are doing and still post such content just for views and money. I want to say to these people – if you can’t make the online world better, at least don’t make it worse."

She further clarified that her intention isn’t to judge anyone but to remind them that every platform has its purpose and Instagram is definitely not meant for pornographic content. She urged for better quality filtering to protect young teenage users from negative influence, concluding that social media should be a place to inspire and motivate people rather than spread obscenity and cringe culture.

Nikita Rawal’s candid words resonate with many who believe in maintaining the sanctity of social media platforms. On the work front, she has some exciting projects lined up, with official announcements expected soon. We wish her all the best for her upcoming ventures.

According to reports, Urvashi and Jeff Bezos were rumoured to tie the knot in July 2025, and this news spread like wildfire among her fans and the global audience. Many called it the “marriage of the century,” as Urvashi Rautela is not only India’s most beautiful woman but also among the country’s most eligible unmarried celebrities.

However, fans were left shocked when Jeff Bezos married TV presenter Lauren Sanchez recently in a lavish ceremony in Venice. This sudden development surprised everyone, especially since rumours suggested Bezos was all set to marry Urvashi before Lauren. While reasons remain unclear, it is believed that their wedding was called off due to unknown circumstances, and Bezos proceeded to marry Lauren Sanchez instead.

Efforts to get an official comment from Urvashi Rautela on these viral rumours did not succeed till the time of publishing this report. Nonetheless, the news has already created a massive stir among her followers globally, who are curious to know the reality behind these speculations.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Urvashi Rautela continues to shine as one of India’s top global icons. She will soon be seen in several big projects including ‘Welcome 3’ with Akshay Kumar, ‘Indian 2’ alongside Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, ‘Kasoor’ with Aftab Shivdasani and Jassie Gill, ‘Baap’ featuring Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt, ‘Inspector Avinash 2’ with Randeep Hooda, and ‘Black Rose’, among others.

With her unstoppable career growth and international recognition as the ‘Queen Of Cannes,’ Urvashi Rautela continues to prove why she is regarded as India’s pride on the global stage.

From emotionally-driven and charged roles on-screen to playing roles that are fierce, strong, empowering and women-centric, the actress has so far done it all to establish her niche with her craft. However, if there's one genre that the actress is yet to tap into, it has to be the world of biopics. Recently, the 'Baby' actress was asked about one legendary actress whose biopic she would love to be a part of. Reacting to this, Madhurima had the most heartwarming answer going all praises for the legendary Rekha. Madhurima shares,

"To be honest, there are many beautiful, wonderful and inspiring actresses in our industry whose impeccable work has left a profound positive impact in my life. However, right now, immediately, if I have to pick up one name, I would have to talk about the one and only Rekha ji. Although she is the one and only and absolutely irreplaceable, I feel my personality and traits have a lot of similarity with her's. I am personally very culturally and traditionally rooted in terms of my value system and so is she. Her grace and warmth lies in her ethnicity and I too have similar shades in my personality. The 'nazakat' and finesse that she has in her personality is simply sensational and I have always admired that. So, if there's ever a biopic on Rekha ji being made, it would be an absolute honour to be the face of the film and try my best to play her on-screen. Like I said, there's only one Rekha ji but I will definitely put my best foot forward to do justice to her magnanimous personality if I ever get to play her on-screen. It would be an absolute privilege and honour and I really manifest that it happens someday so that I can make Rekha ji herself, all her fans and all my well-wishers proud and happy."

Well, we certainly agree to the fact that Madhurima does have elements of the iconic charm and alluring persona that legendary Rekha has in her and it would truly be a visual delight to see Madhurima play Rekha on-screen if that turns out to be reality.

This marks the third collaboration between Rao and Kapoor, a partnership that continues to captivate audiences with its rich visual storytelling and emotional depth.

Mohit Kapoor—who not only directed but also produced Fasana—is known for his eye for detail and cinematic flair. His previous works include a variety of visually rich and emotionally compelling projects that continue to push the boundaries of independent music videos. Speaking about the project, Mohit Kapoor shared, “Fasana is about capturing the silence between words, the emotion behind every pause. Filming in such extreme conditions was demanding, but it added an authenticity that couldn’t have been replicated elsewhere.”

The official launch of the music video took place at Phelia lounge in Malad West, Mumbai, in a warm and celebratory evening attended by members of the cast, crew, and invited guests from the industry. The launch event added a glamorous touch to the already buzz-worthy release, further amplifying anticipation among fans.

With its historical heritage, natural beauty, and vibrant cultural legacy, Rajasthan offers everything a traveler seeks. The state is working to position itself as a top destination, delivering unique experiences to visitors while creating opportunities for local communities. Taking this vision forward, Jaipur will host the prestigious IIFA 2025 (IIFA-25) on March 8 and 9, an event that will enhance Rajasthan’s presence in global tourism and cinema.

Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari stated that Rajasthan’s Film Tourism Promotion Policy is being further refined to support both the tourism sector and the film industry. She noted that IIFA 2025 will bring Rajasthan into the international spotlight, encouraging more filmmakers to choose the state for their productions. She added that hosting IIFA in Rajasthan marks an important step in connecting modern cinema with heritage, further strengthening tourism while boosting the state's cultural and economic influence.

Tourism Secretary Mr. Ravi Jain highlighted that the event presents a major opportunity for the tourism sector of Rajasthan. He noted that cinema and tourism are closely linked, as films have the power to introduce destinations to a global audience. With IIFA 2025, Rajasthan’s appeal for filmmakers will grow, making the state an even more attractive location for film productions and cine-tourism.

Rajasthan has long been a preferred backdrop for Bollywood and Hollywood films. Movies can elevate a destination’s global standing, as seen with Satyajit Ray’s 1974 classic ‘Sonar Kella’ (The Golden Fortress), which brought international recognition to Jaisalmer Fort. Its intriguing themes of reincarnation and mystery drew tourists, particularly from Bengal and other states, a trend that continues even today. Similarly, IIFA 2025 will put diverse tourism attractions of Rajasthan on the global stage which will further enhance its appeal.

Tourism Commissioner Mr. Vijay Pal Singh shared that the state government is introducing several initiatives to promote film tourism. These include:

• Dedicated film-shooting facilities at heritage sites
• Special tour packages for cinema enthusiasts
• Platforms to highlight local talent 

Mr. Singh mentioned that IIFA 2025 will not only benefit the film industry but will also boost local tourism, businesses, and cultural activities. Thousands of film enthusiasts, media professionals, and tourists are expected to visit Jaipur for the event, directly supporting hotels, restaurants, the handicraft sector, and transportation services.

A big surprise awaits on the 27th Feb! Stay with us ♥????"

The makers and Salman Khan are carefully crafting the excitement around Sikandar, offering just enough to tantalize fans without giving too much away. The powerful visuals and subtle hints are only making the wait for the film more thrilling.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, the film promises to be an explosive cinematic experience, with plenty more surprises still to come.

The announcement solidifies Jonita’s growing global presence, making her one of the few South Asian artists to secure a prime slot at Lollapalooza. Her performance at the festival adds to an already eventful year, as she recently released Channa, the follow-up single to her 2024 debut EP Love Like That. The project has garnered critical acclaim, earning her a nomination for ‘South Asian Music Recording of the Year’ at the 54th Juno Awards, set to take place on March 30, 2025.

In addition, she has shared the stage with Bollywood legend Arijit Singh, further expanding her musical influence.

The first female artist signed to 91 North Records, Jonita boasts an impressive 16 million monthly listeners and over 2.2 billion streams across music platforms. Her ability to blend Indian and Western influences makes her a standout performer in the global music industry.

“2025 is off to an incredible start! I recently had the great honor of opening for Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran during their India tours and received so much love performing my original music. I also had a surreal moment joining Arijit Singh on stage as a guest performer at his concert in Delhi. Now, I’m set to perform my own set at the iconic Lollapalooza! And to top it all off, being nominated for a Juno Award is a dream come true. I’m really excited for the new music on the horizon and can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

With her unstoppable momentum, Jonita Gandhi is poised to make 2025 a defining year in her career.

New Delhi [India], January 18: Following a court ruling dismissing cases against the film, “Match Fixing: The Nation at Stake” has finally released on 10^th January 2025. Based on the book ‘The Game Behind Saffron Terror’ which is written by Col. Kanwar Khatana – a retired army intelligence officer, the film offers a gripping narrative inspired by events readily available on public domain.The film has received an overwhelming response from audiences and critics alike.

“Match Fixing” presents a fictionalized account of the closed-door politics and administrative manipulations within high-profile offices. The film explores the conspiracy behind the orchestrated terror attacks leading up to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. It charts the journey of an army officer from military intelligence, entangled in the web of this conspiracy.

The agenda of the makers was to refute the false narrative of Saffron Terror which was fabricated for vote-bank politics. According to the film, national security was compromised for the sake of power and the nation was at stake.

Critics and reviewers across the country have echoed this sentiment, making Match Fixing the talk of the town. Here’s what some of the leading voices in film criticism have to say:

• Bollywood Helpline – 4/5

“a political thriller that isn’t afraid to tackle the darkest aspects of contemporary geopolitics. It’s bold, it’s intelligent, and it’s unflinchingly honest.”

• Telly Chakkar – 3.5/5

“Match Fixing is an intense, intelligent, and unflinching political thriller that’s both timely and timeless. If you’re up for a story that keeps you guessing and makes you think long after the credits roll, this one’s for you.”

• First India – 4/4

“Match Fixing is edgy, it’s thrilling, and it’s not afraid to dive into uncomfortable truths. It’s the political thriller you didn’t know you needed. Watch it, and then spend the next few hours questioning everything.”

First time producer Pallavi Gurjar has demonstrated remarkable courage and vision by acquiring the rights of the book. The vastly experienced and passionate Kedaar Gaekwad is the Director and DOP on this film. Kedaar has meticulously executed his vision into a cinematic spectacle by assembling a team that understood his vision.”

With Match Fixing, Pallavi has proven that with focused efforts and judicious allocation of resources, high-quality content can be created despite budget constraints. Shot across 6 cities featuring London, Istanbul, Kashmir, Lucknow, Pune and Mumbai, Pallavi ensured that she went out of her to ensure Kedaar’s vision. (More than half of the film has been filmed in the culturally rich and diverse city of Lucknow). The Production Design team has worked tirelessly to recreate the period look with precision. The scale and production value of the film have not been compromised anywhere in the film.

138 actors have embodied the essence of the characters, rather than merely imitating anyone. The film boasts an ensemble cast featuring accomplished actors like Vineet Kumar Singh, Anuja Sathe, Manoj Joshi, Shataf Figar and Raj Arjun amongst many others.

Screenplay writer Anuj S. Mehta has converted the book into a compelling narrative and Dialogue writer Sameer Garud has added the desired impact to every scene. Editor Ashish Mhatre has woven a crisp, intricate and engaging story.

The makers had hired an army consultant to avoid cringe-worthy inaccuracies and respect army traditions. The filmmakers’ primary objective was to pay tribute to the selfless bravery of army officers with this film.

A team of specialists, including neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Leena Jain, and anesthesiologist Dr. Nisha Gandhi, is attending to him,” Dr. Uttamani said.

The intruder allegedly broke into the actor's residence in the middle of the night, attacking the house staff before confronting Saif. Despite being unarmed, the actor fought back in an attempt to protect his family, which includes his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two children, Taimur and Jeh.

A source close to the family described the terrifying ordeal, saying, “Saif showed immense courage, fighting off the attacker to safeguard his family. Unfortunately, he sustained severe injuries in the process.”

Kareena, who had reportedly returned home from a party around 1:30 a.m., was present in the house along with her children when the incident unfolded. She and the rest of the family remained unharmed, though the attack left them shaken.

Both Saif and Kareena’s teams have issued statements addressing the incident and requesting privacy during this challenging time. “There was an attempted burglary at Saif Ali Khan’s residence last night,” Saif’s team confirmed. “He is currently undergoing surgery, and we request fans and the media to remain patient and avoid unnecessary speculation. The matter is under police investigation.”

Similarly, Kareena’s team reassured the public about the family’s safety. “Saif sustained injuries while defending his family. We urge everyone to allow the police to carry out their investigation and not jump to conclusions. Thank you for your concern.”

The Mumbai Police have launched an investigation and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area. Three suspects have reportedly been detained for questioning, although further details remain undisclosed.

This shocking incident has sent waves of concern across the film industry and among Saif’s fans. Many have taken to social media to express their support and wish for his speedy recovery.

As the investigation continues, police are working to piece together the exact sequence of events. Authorities have increased security in the area and are determined to identify and apprehend all those involved in the attack.

Saif Ali Khan remains under medical supervision as he recovers from surgery. The actor’s resilience and bravery in defending his family have been widely lauded, highlighting his courage in the face of a life-threatening situation.

The latest poster of his upcoming patriotic song 'Watan Ve' is sending shockwaves all over the internet and given the kind of love that he's got earlier in similar previous songs, we aren't surprised by any means. The song is set to be the ideal track for Republic Day coming forward and well, all we can say is that everyone should brace themselves for the big one. Regarding the song, Sudhir shares,

"I am immensely happy to be bringing Watan Ve for everyone soon. As an Indian, I breathe patriotism always and that's why, there was no way I couldn't have got a new song this time. This track is going to be the perfect 'feel good vibe' for everyone this Republic day. Patriotism is not just about singing songs for special occasions; it’s about carrying the essence of my country in every note I sing, reminding people that beyond our differences, we all stand together as one. It’s about using the universal language of music to keep the spirit of unity and pride alive in every moment. I am super excited and looking forward to it. Hopeful of everyone's love and support like always. Jai Hind."

Despite the good intentions behind his message, certain followers, especially a group often referred to as “andhbhakts,” felt that Rajpal was crossing a line by advising against crackers during Diwali. Many accused him of interfering with religious traditions and questioned his stance, particularly due to his lifestyle choices, pointing to a perceived hypocrisy in his suggestion.

In response, Rajpal soon posted an apology on his social media, clarifying that his message was never meant to offend anyone. “My intention was only to spread awareness in a fun way,” he explained, adding that he values Diwali and its traditions deeply.

Kamya, who has herself been a contestant on Bigg Boss and is a regular viewer, recently stirred a conversation with her tweet questioning the use of the term "Colors ka ladla" in reference to Vivian. In her tweet, she expressed concern that such labels could be detrimental to a contestant's game.
Addressing the tweet, Kamya clarified, "Terms like 'ladla' shouldn’t be used, whether it’s for Vivian or anyone else, because it’s a game. Such terms unnecessarily hamper the potential of a strong player like Vivian.

He is a 'lambi race ka ghoda' and a good human being. He is very intelligent and sharp but often misunderstood. Give him a fair chance to play, and no one should put labels on him."
Kamya emphasized that Vivian’s fan following is genuine, and she is confident that he will receive everyone’s support in Bigg Boss 18. Her backing adds weight to Vivian’s presence in the show, as both friends and fans rally behind him in his journey.

Ask him about the reason behind releasing the trailer around independence day *Shubh says, “This film talks about an important place for all of us, Kashmir. It's always been very volatile and on the radar for disrupted peace. It's always looked through the lens of either of the two different ideologies- pro India or anti-India. As we will are celebrating India's independence, it's very important to understand the importance of freedom in a state like Kashmir. That's what they have always fought for in their mind, their sense of freedom which they feel they hadn't got. Independence is supposed to be celebrated by each citizen and it's about doing it together. Kahwa celebrates the thought of togetherness, humanity and peace against war*

Kahwa is set against the backdrop of the aftermath of the encounter of militant Burhan Wani in Kashmir. His death led to the longest single spelling curfew in the state. In Kashmir, the relationship between the army and civilians has always been rocky, with the latter looking at the former as the ones trying to subdue them, while the army has looked at the civilians with suspicion. Kahwa uses this difference to spread a message of hope and positivity as it shows a tale of a tea seller and an army guy in Kashmir, who bond over conversations over tea. 

*The film has done rounds of film festivals globally, including Los Angeles, Istanbul, Chennai, London and also the Cannes Film Festival, and talking about the appreciation Kahwa has received from global audience*, Shubh says it gave them an insight into a place they hadn't known much about. “Those people aren't aware about what happens in places like Kashmir, and through Kahwa, they got to know something new,” he says.
