A romantic family drama centred on love, emotions and family relationships, "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" is all set for a nationwide theatrical release on July 31. Produced by Ishpaul Singh Chawla under the Grandway Productions banner, the film reflects the producer's decision to introduce three fresh faces in his debut Hindi production. Positioned as a clean family entertainer, the film is designed to be enjoyed by audiences of all age groups.

Producer Ishpaul Singh Chawla says he has always looked at films from the perspective of an ordinary moviegoer, and "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" has been made with the same approach. According to him, the real strength of a film lies not in big stars but in a compelling story, melodious music and good performances. That philosophy led him to cast actors who best suited their characters. Chawla expressed complete faith in debut feature film director Rajiv Shamlal Soni, saying the filmmaker gave 100 percent to the project. He also praised music composer Vishnu Narayan, stating that the film's five songs have turned out exceptionally well and are likely to stay with audiences. Chawla further appreciated the supporting cast, saying every actor has done complete justice to their role and that the entire team worked with total dedication and sincerity.

The film's promo and music were recently launched in Mumbai, where members of the media and invited guests were given their first glimpse of the project. The promo and songs received an enthusiastic response from both the media and the audience at the very first screening, generating excitement ahead of the film's release.

The film is directed by Rajiv Shamlal Soni. While "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" marks his feature film directorial debut, he has previously directed several successful television serials for leading entertainment channels. The film has been shot across the picturesque locations of Mumbai and Manali.

Another highlight of the project is the launch of three new actors. Popular television actress Kajal Chauhan makes her Bollywood debut with the film, while Bhanuj Sood and Shubhkaran Bhopal also make their first appearance in a Hindi feature film.

Kajal Chauhan said that stepping into films after years of working in television is a dream come true. She thanked producer Ishpaul Singh Chawla for believing in a newcomer and giving her the opportunity. She also added that every member of the cast gave their 100 percent, and that dedication will be visible on screen.

Bhanuj Sood, who has previously appeared in several major advertising campaigns, said that "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" is his first feature film. Thanking the producer, he said receiving such an opportunity as a newcomer is very special and that the entire team worked with complete honesty and commitment throughout the project.

Manali-based actor Shubhkaran Bhopal revealed that he immediately accepted the film after director Rajiv Shamlal Soni narrated the story and informed him that the shooting would take place in Manali and Mumbai. He said it became an unforgettable experience because his family was able to visit the sets in his hometown and watch him perform. Shubhkaran also credited the entire cast and technical crew for working with complete dedication.

The film also features Mushtaq Khan, Aroon Bakshi, Raju Kher, Brij Gopal, Mehul Buch, Garima Agrawal, Anjali Gupta and Diveyaa Dwivedi in important roles.

According to the producer, "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" is a wholesome family entertainer that can be enjoyed together by mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, grandparents with their grandchildren, and even groups of friends.

The film will be released across India by JB Pictures, headed by Karan Bhatia. With its fresh cast, engaging story, melodious music, beautiful locations and family-oriented entertainment, "Dil Deewana Ho Gaya" is set to arrive in cinemas across the country on July 31.

Mumbai, June 24th, 2026 : Kayhan Entertainment, an integrated IP-led ecosystem with a strategic focus on IP ownership and creative exports, has announced the launch of its latest premium animated edutainment IP, Smart KidZ, exclusively on ZEE5 Kidz. Designed for children aged 7 to 13, the series combines fast-paced storytelling, humour, emotional intelligence, and practical life learning to help children navigate real-world situations through entertainment-led storytelling. Built around the simple philosophy of “Pause. Think. Act.”, the show transforms everyday childhood challenges into engaging animated adventures designed for today’s digitally native children. Starting June 5, 2026, the series will roll out in an initial batch of 5 to 10 episodes.

Smart KidZ focuses on situations children experience every day but are rarely taught how to handle, from friendship conflicts, peer pressure, comparison anxiety, and emotional reactions to practical moments like power cuts, digital behaviour, stranger awareness, responsibility, and decision-making. Instead of relying on preachy messaging or traditional moral-based storytelling, the series uses humour, magical mentors, action, and visual problem-solving to allow children to naturally arrive at the learning through the story itself. Designed for both children and parents, the show blends entertainment with Thoughtful meaningful and practical takeaways that young viewers can apply in real life.

Founded by Dalbir Singh and Arushi Govil, Kayhan is being built through a distinctive creative partnership that brings together vision and execution in equal measure. As one of India’s most defining IP-creator couple, the two founders combine storytelling ambition, worldbuilding expertise, and production discipline to create and scale original IP from India. Their complementary strengths are shaping Kayhan into an integrated creative ecosystem designed to accelerate India’s shift from execution-led services to ownership-driven storytelling.

Speaking about the launch, Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said, “Smart KidZ represents an important step in our larger IP expansion strategy where storytelling becomes emotionally useful while remaining entertaining at its core. Children today are growing up in a world that moves faster than ever before, and many of the challenges they face are emotional, behavioural, and practical rather than academic. Through Smart KidZ, we wanted to create stories that help children slow down, think clearly, and respond better to situations around them. Our focus continues to be on building original Indian IP that can create long-term value while also connecting meaningfully with modern families.”

Adding to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said, “Children today are emotionally aware much earlier, but they are also exposed to confusion, pressure, comparison, and information overload at a very young age. Smart KidZ was designed to support both children and parents through stories that feel warm, relatable, practical, and Life-skills focused.We did not want the show to feel like teaching. We wanted the learning to happen naturally through humour, adventure, and relatable situations. The idea is to help children become more Self-aware ,confident, thoughtful, and prepared for everyday life.”

At the heart of Smart KidZ are recurring mentor characters who guide children through emotional and practical situations using curiosity, teamwork, calm thinking, and empathy-led problem-solving. Anand and the Fab 5 bring humour, energy, and practical thinking into everyday chaos, while Tara and his team, including Darmiya and Saku, step in during moments that require courage, emotional clarity, safety, and confidence. Every episode is designed around relatable childhood experiences and leaves viewers with one simple takeaway they can remember and apply in real life, whether it is pausing before reacting, asking questions before assuming, respecting boundaries, apologising properly, staying calm during stressful moments, or making smarter decisions. With Smart KidZ, Kayhan Entertainment continues to expand its vision of building emotionally relevant, culturally rooted, and scalable Indian IP designed for the next generation of digital audiences.

The launch of Smart KidZ comes at a time when children's content is emerging as one of the most promising segments within the global media and entertainment industry. With India home to one of the world's largest youth populations and its digital video audience continuing to expand rapidly, the demand for high-quality, culturally relevant, and digitally native children's programming continues to grow across OTT platforms, YouTube, connected TV, and gaming ecosystems. Globally, animation continues to grow as a scalable family-entertainment category, driven by increasing consumption of family entertainment and franchise-led storytelling. Against this backdrop, Smart KidZ reflects Kayhan Entertainment's broader vision of creating culturally rooted entertainment that combines meaningful storytelling with long-term franchise potential, positioning India not only as a content production hub but as a creator and exporter of globally relevant intellectual property.

Aushim Khetarpal Honoured for Representing the “Baton of Peace & Unity” Initiative

Arunachalam, Tiruvannamalai : At the sacred land of Tiruvannamalai, filmmaker and actor Aushim Khetarpal was honoured with a spiritual leadership recognition during the 17th Annual Spiritual Festival held at Arunachalam. The honour was conferred by revered saints and spiritual leaders in recognition of his contributions to films, television, and social welfare initiatives that promote spiritual awareness and humanitarian values.

The “Baton of Peace & Unity,” associated with the Sai Baba Peace Awards, was first initiated in October last year at Vatican City by the Pope. The torch then travelled to the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation in South Africa, followed by Dallas (USA), where one of the largest statues of Sai Baba is स्थापित. From there, it moved through Amrita Maa and the Mother Teresa Foundation before arriving at the sacred Arunachalam in Tiruvannamalai.

In the presence of over 100 saints and spiritual leaders, the torch was ceremonially lit by Aushim Khetarpal, marking a proud and significant moment. It is a rare honour for an Indian filmmaker and social contributor to represent this global initiative dedicated to peace, unity, and humanity.

The event was organised under the guidance of Swamy Sai Ravichandran by Akshaya Sri Sai Dhyana Sabai Temple in devotion to Sai Baba. Thousands of devotees participated in the sacred Girivalam (parikrama), symbolising faith, service, and spiritual unity.

Speaking on the occasion, Aushim Khetarpal said,
“In today’s world, there is an urgent need for peace. Initiatives like the ‘Baton of Peace & Unity’ and the Sai Baba Peace Awards carry immense significance. Lighting this sacred torch on the holy land of Arunachala is both a proud and deeply spiritual experience for me.”

Aushim Khetarpal is widely known for his work in films and television, especially projects based on Sai Baba and Baba Ramdevsa Pir. For over three decades, he has been using cinema as a medium to spread spiritual awareness and social messages. His upcoming film “Children of God” is an inspirational coming-of-age social drama that highlights important themes such as LGBTQIA+ identity, human rights, and self-acceptance. The film is scheduled for release in theatres on June 19.

The festival also featured a series of sacred rituals, including homam, abhishekam, aarti, nama sankeertanam, and bhajans. In the true spirit of service, large-scale charitable initiatives such as distribution of clothes to saints, annadaan (food donation), and community meals were conducted, reflecting the timeless message: “Sabka Malik Ek.”

The event stood not only as a spiritual celebration but also as a meaningful step toward promoting unity, compassion, and humanity on a global scale.

Produced under the banner of Sonam Tele Films, Antas 2 is the sequel to the successful first installment. The premiere screening turned into a memorable celebration of cinema, with prominent guests from the film industry and Rajasthan’s social circles in attendance. The hall was filled with excitement as viewers reacted positively to the on-screen chemistry and emotional storytelling.

Director Surendra Swami, Producer Suresh Kumar, lead actress Shreya Khanna, actor Alok Bhardwaj, writer Mahesh Runiwal, along with Hinodun MLA Anita Jatav, ACP Amjad Khan, and noted Rajasthani actors including Raj Jangid, Shravan Sagar, RK Sara, Rajveer Gurjar Bassi, Charan Singh Pathik, Radheshyam Piplawa, and Ganesh Maharaj graced the event.

For director Surendra Swami, this marks his first major cinematic venture. Speaking at the premiere, he expressed deep emotion: “The premiere of Antas 2 at Raj Mandir in Jaipur feels like a dream come true. Seeing the love and appreciation from Rajasthani stars and the audience has left me overwhelmed. This film will touch every heart. Our love story, shot on the streets of Jaipur, is ready to captivate viewers.”

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

Audiences at the premiere particularly appreciated the natural chemistry between Shreya Khanna and Alok Bhardwaj. Building on the success of the original Antas, this sequel promises to deliver the same emotional connect with fresh charm.

Shreya Khanna shared her thoughts after the screening: “The energy at the Jaipur premiere was incredible. Meeting Rajasthani stars was truly an honour. The audience loved my character and the chemistry with Alok. Shooting in Jaipur taught me the real meaning of simplicity. Antas 2 is a milestone in my career.”

Alok Bhardwaj, who essayed the role of the ordinary taxi driver, said: “Portraying the simplicity of a common man was challenging, but it became a memorable experience under Surendra Sir’s guidance. Hearing appreciation from Rajasthani artists at Raj Mandir brought me immense joy. This is a story of an everyday person that will resonate with every heart.”

Producer Suresh Kumar reflected on the successful evening: “We are proud that Antas 2 received such wonderful support from Rajasthan’s cinema veterans. After the success of Antas, creating this sequel has been a matter of great pride for the team. We left no stone unturned in maintaining quality. The love of the audience remains our ultimate goal.”

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

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

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

The enthusiastic reception at Raj Mandir Cinema has set a positive tone ahead of Antas 2’s theatrical release. With its roots firmly in Rajasthan’s soil and culture, the film is poised to offer audiences a refreshing and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.

As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the sustained applause reflected the audience’s genuine appreciation for this simple, heartfelt tale of love. Antas 2 is now ready to win hearts across theatres nationwide.

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."

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.

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.

Experience a film woven with the emotions of every mother, and the unbreakable bond of family.

Gujarati cinema is ready to welcome a film that doesn’t stay confined to the screen but quietly finds its way into the heart of the audience. “Malumadi”, presented by Sidhhant Motion Pictures and produced by Vikram Patolia and Kiran Khokhani, is set to release in theatres on 30th January 2026.

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

Fondly known as “Gujarat’s Mother India”, Malumadi is an emotional contribution to the selfless love, quiet strength and unspoken sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood that steps back so the family can move forward.

Directed with sensitivity by Milan Joshi, Malumadi explores love, sacrifice and the unbreakable bond of family in a way that resonates across generations. It is a clean, family-friendly film, rooted in emotion, values and truth.

Where emotion meets tradition

Malumadi tells a story that lives, in one form or another, in every Gujarati home,
where a mother stands tall as the emotional pillar of the family.

This line from the film captures its soul:
“I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and identity.”

These words are more than dialogue.
They reflect a mother’s moral courage, choosing humanity over social prejudice.

The film addresses contemporary social realities with sensitivity, while reminding us that the true strength of a family lies in love, not division.

Music that lingers long after

The film’s music is composed by Harman Mer, with lyrics penned by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in particular, captures the essence of maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity that the emotion speaks louder than words.

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 powerful and emotionally rich portrayals to date.

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.

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 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.

Cast: Prathamesh Parab, Ankita Lande, Prithvik Pratap, Ganesh Yadav 

 Director: Mohsin Khan , Producer: David Nadar 

Duration: 2 Hours 5 Minutes , Language: Hindi Release 

Date: 10 December 2025 , Platform: Ultra Play OTT 

Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5) 

Mamta Child Factory is a bold yet tender social drama that brings the complex world of surrogacy to the screen with honesty, heart, and an unexpected dose of small-town charm. Writer–Director Mohsin Khan tackles the subject with empathy rather than preaching, allowing the film to breathe, entertain, and connect emotionally.

Set in a modest town in Maharashtra, the story follows Bhau (Prathamesh Parab) and Chochya (Prithvik Pratap)—two laid-back real-estate brokers whose carefree routines are disrupted when Dr. Amruta Deshmukh (Ankita Lande) arrives with a courageous dream: to launch a fertility centre in a community weighed down by stigma, fear, and traditional beliefs. Her progressive medical outlook challenges the town’s deep-rooted conservatism, triggering resistance, rumours, and moral panic—fueling a drama that remains deeply human at its core.

The film finds its emotional pulse in the lives of the village women, who carry silent battles between economic survival and social judgment. Khan portrays surrogacy not as a clinical transaction but as a journey of dignity, sacrifice, and hope. The narrative gains further momentum when MLA Sanjay Tatya Bhosale (Ganesh Yadav) quietly considers surrogacy for his own family, layering the plot with political pressure, personal conflict, secrecy, and vulnerability.

Performances

Prathamesh Parab leads the film with effortless humour and emotional authenticity, evolving beautifully as the story shifts gears. Ankita Lande delivers a remarkably grounded and mature performance as Dr. Amruta—strong, sensitive, and morally aware without ever feeling theatrical.
Prithvik Pratap keeps the laughter natural with his impeccable comic timing, while Ganesh Yadav balances power and fragility with surprising nuance.
Supporting actors Sujata Mogal and Vijay Patwardhan enrich the film’s rural ecosystem, making the town feel lived-in and alive.

Writing & Direction

Khan smartly anchors the first half in light-hearted, slice-of-life storytelling, letting humour and local colour flow organically. The second half turns more intense, exploring ethical and emotional crossroads effectively. While the climax leans slightly more toward family drama than the central theme of surrogacy, it still lands—mainly because the emotions never lose sincerity, and the dramatic escalation remains engaging rather than forced.

Final Verdict

Mamta Child Factory may shift toward heightened drama at the end, but it never sacrifices emotional impact. It’s a rare film that blends social relevance, humour, politics, and family emotions into one cohesive viewing experience.

A heartfelt, meaningful and engaging family entertainer that sparks conversation and stays with you long after the credits roll. A confident OTT watch with a soul.

Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5/5)
Now streaming on Ultra Play OTT from 10 December 2025.

The official teaser of the upcoming short film Vishaad is now out, giving audiences a cryptic yet powerful glimpse into a story built on mystery, moral conflict, and emotional unrest. The one-minute visual opens with an inspector scanning his surroundings — his sharp, probing gaze hinting at a truth lurking beneath the surface.

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….

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.

“Magical Wallet” Poster out :   Jimmy Shergill, Sanjay Mishra & Anchal GS Singh Come Together for a Mystical Varanasi Story, 

“In the film Magical Wallet, audiences will get to see a 2,000-year-old Varanasi.” Director 

The poster of the Hindi film Magical Wallet, starring  Jimmy Shergill, Sanjay Mishra & Aanchal GS Singh and Ishtiyak Khan, was unveiled at Film Bazaar in Goa in the presence of director Nitin N Kushwaha, Excutive  producer Hifazat Ali and co-producer Gaurav Daagar. Industry delegates and film enthusiasts gathered to witness the first look of this intriguing Varanasi-based story, and the response at the venue was warm and enthusiastic. 

Varanasi has become a favourite backdrop for Hindi cinema in recent years, and Sanjay Mishra’s earlier films shot in the city have received strong appreciation from audiences. Continuing this connection, Magical Wallet brings yet another compelling narrative set against the spiritual and atmospheric charm of Varanasi. The announcement poster, revealed at Film Bazaar, features Sanjay Mishra standing on the steps of the Varanasi ghats, holding a wallet overflowing with currency notes. Behind him, Jimmy Shergill and Aanchal GS Singh are seen rushing toward him, while Ishtiyak Khan appears with a confused and questioning expression. The Ganga, the ancient temples, and the sunset tones in the background add a mystical depth to the poster, making it a standout moment at the even.

Director Nitin N Kushwaha, earlier worked extensively in various VFX and filmmaking before stepping into direction, shared his excitement, saying, “For me, Magical Wallet is more than a film—it is an experience shaped by Varanasi itself. In the film  audiences will get to see 2,000-year-old Varanasi. The city becomes a character, its energy flows through the story, and its spirit adds depth to every moment. Launching our poster at Film Bazaar is a very special milestone for us.”

Produced by Naresh & Brothers and co-produced by Gaurav Daagar, Kalakaars entertainment, movie Magical Wallet blends emotion, mystery and the cultural soul of Varanasi in a way that promises to offer audiences a refreshing cinematic journey. The unveiling at Film Bazaar marks the film’s first official step into the public eye and has already sparked curiosity among industry members present at the event.

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.

Mumbai, 10 October, 2025: After a grandly successful association with Avon Cycles, popular film and television actress Kanchan Awasthi is now set to represent the brand’s next milestone — as the Brand Ambassador for Avon Scooty.

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.

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. LISA won the same category last year with “Rockstar” from Alter Ego. 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).

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.

The event ended on a positive note with light conversations, photographs, and the hope that Fragile will travel far and wide to create the impact it truly deserves.

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.

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.

On his visit to Bhopal, Abhishek Bachchan said, “Coming back to Bhopal is always deeply personal for me. It’s not just a city I’ve filmed in—it feels like home and so many of my childhood memories are woven into its streets. Shooting Kaalidhar Laapata in Bhopal brought all of that flooding back. Now, returning for the film’s promotions has been just as special. One of the standout moments was the photo-op by the Bhopal Lake—a powerful gesture that captures the essence of Kaalidhar Laapata. As hundreds of diyas lit up the water, it became a moving visual metaphor for what the film stands for: finding light in the most unlikely places, forming unexpected connections, and embracing life wholeheartedly, no matter where you are in your journey. That’s the soul of this story, and I hope it truly connects with everyone who watches it.”

Produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment, Kaalidhar Laapata tells the poignant story of a middle-aged man (Abhishek Bachchan) facing memory loss and abandonment, who finds unexpected companionship with Ballu (Daivik Bhagela), a spirited 8-year-old orphan. Together, they embark on a journey of forgotten dreams and newfound hope, exploring themes of family, resilience, and the quiet power of second chances. 

Kaalidhar Laapata premieres exclusively on ZEE5 on 4th July 2025.

Sayaara marks the grand Bollywood debut of Ahaan Panday, the latest addition to the YRF talent roster. He is paired opposite Anya Panday, best known for her impactful performance in the popular web series Big Girls Don’t Cry. The film positions itself as a modern romantic drama with a timeless soul — a genre Mohit Suri has mastered with past hits like Aashiqui 2, Malang, and Ek Villain.

The teaser of Sayaara offers more than just a glimpse into its plot—it poetically explains the meaning of the title. In astronomical terms, “Sayaara” refers to a wandering celestial body. But in poetic and emotional expressions, it symbolizes something radiant, dreamlike, and unattainable—like a guiding star that’s always visible, yet never within reach. This metaphor sets the emotional tone of the movie and reflects the kind of romantic intensity Suri is known to bring to the screen.

The release of Sayaara also coincides with Mohit Suri’s 20th year in the film industry and highlights YRF’s continuing legacy of unforgettable love stories. With a 50-year-long heritage, Yash Raj Films has delivered numerous iconic romances under the visionary leadership of Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra.

Backed by soulful storytelling, fresh faces, and the nostalgic charm of cinematic love, Sayaara is shaping up to be one of the most awaited romantic releases of the year. As anticipation builds, all eyes are on July 18, when Sayaara will light up theatres around the globe, offering a new-age love story with a classic heart.

"Its A Great Opportunity to Share the Screen with Poonam Dhillon Ma’am" — Delbar Arya Shares Insights On Working With The Actress For Their Upcoming Film Madhaniyan

Actress Delbar Arya is making waves in the Punjabi film industry, and her upcoming release Madhaniyan is all set to take her career to new heights. Touted as the biggest family drama of the year, Madhaniyan is a heartwarming tale of love and togetherness, starring Neeru Bajwa, Dev Kharoud, Nav Bajwa, and Delbar Arya in prominent roles. Helmed by acclaimed Punjabi filmmaker Nav Bajwa, the film has already sparked excitement among fans post its poster release. 

But what makes Delbar Arya even more thrilled is the opportunity to share screen space with one of India cinema’s most beloved and iconic actresses — Poonam Dhillon. For Delbar Arya, the experience has been nothing short of a remarkable opportunity.

“It’s a huge opportunity for an actor like me to work with such a veteran actress. Poonam Ma’am and I have most of our scenes together in the film where I portray the character of Jazz and she is my Nani in the film. We have a cute daughter, grandmother bond in the film.  I still remember, when I saw her for the first time, I was in awe. She’s so beautiful — it felt like age is just reversing for her. She is known for her charm, grace, and commanding screen presence."

“I am so grateful for this opportunity. She’s one of those rare actresses who knows exactly what she wants to deliver. But what touched me most was how grounded she is. While shooting, she never makes you feel like a junior artist. She takes time to guide you, to suggest things, and even appreciates your work. That kind of humility and support from someone of her stature is truly inspiring. I’m looking forward to how the audience reacts to seeing us together on screen. It’s been a very special journey.”

As Madhaniyan gears up for its release, fans are eagerly anticipating the fresh chemistry and a lot of family drama but with twists and turns. Delbar Arya, who has already been turning heads with her stellar performances and magnetic presence, is set to carve a niche for herself with this film.

With powerful performances, an emotionally resonant story, and the union of seasoned stars with rising talents, Madhaniyan is poised to be a cinematic celebration of family, tradition, and timeless connections.

A new warrior Queen has arrived in Bollywood—Akanksha Sharma. With her jaw-dropping debut as the valiant warrior Rajan in the historical epic Kesari Veer, Akanksha has not just entered the film industry — she’s conquered it.

In a year buzzing with talent, Best Debut of 2025 belongs undoubtedly to Akanksha Sharma. With her very first film, she has etched her name into the audience’s hearts and set a gold standard for debut performances.

Kesari Veer, a high-octane period drama, demanded a performer who could balance intensity, grace, and raw emotion. Akanksha delivered all that and more, making her portrayal of Rajan — a fierce archer-warrior with a painful past — one of the most unforgettable characters of the year.

From the moment she drew her bow on screen, Akanksha embodied power. Her archery scenes weren’t just technically sound — they were poetry in motion. Every arrow she released seemed to pierce more than just enemies; it struck chords deep within viewers. Her posture, precision, and poise elevated the battle sequences to a level rarely seen in Hindi cinema.

What sets Akanksha apart, however, is not just her physical command of the role — it’s the depth she brought to Rajan’s emotional journey. In a world of revenge, honor, and betrayal, Akanksha’s eyes told a thousand stories. Whether it was a silent tear in a moonlit tent or a fiery war cry on the battlefield, she lived Rajan with every breath.

It’s rare for a newcomer to exhibit the kind of emotional intelligence Akanksha displayed. Her ability to convey rage, grief, love, and duty — sometimes in a single frame — is being hailed as a game-changer for how debutantes are perceived in Bollywood.

As the curtains fell on this momentous occasion, it was evident that IIFA 2025 had created history, leaving an indelible mark on the entertainment landscape. The world watched in awe as digital excellence was honored, paving the way for a brighter future in cinematic innovation.

Jaipur, Rajasthan – March 8, 2025: The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) marked a significant milestone in its Silver Jubilee celebrations with a special International Women’s Day event titled “The Journey of Women in Cinema.” Held at the Hyatt Regency Jaipur Mansarovar, this thought-provoking discussion featured Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit and Academy Award-winning producer Guneet Monga, moderated by IIFA’s Vice President, Noreen Khan.

The engaging conversation explored the evolving landscape of women in cinema, highlighting the challenges and triumphs that have shaped their journeys. As IIFA celebrated 25 years of cinematic excellence and global cultural unity, the event reinforced its commitment to fostering meaningful dialogues and championing women in film.

A Dialogue Between Trailblazers

Madhuri Dixit, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses, reflected on her illustrious 39-year career, detailing how the portrayal of women in Indian cinema has undergone a remarkable transformation. Known for her grace, versatility, and strong screen presence, Madhuri emphasized how female-led narratives have gained prominence, giving actresses more dynamic and powerful roles.

“When I started my journey, the industry was vastly different. Women were often limited to specific roles, but today, we are seeing powerful female-driven stories that resonate globally. The shift has been gradual but profound,” said Madhuri, recalling her experiences working in an industry that has constantly evolved.

On the other hand, Guneet Monga, an Oscar-winning producer recognized for her bold storytelling and international impact, provided insight into the behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs of women filmmakers. She spoke about her journey as an independent producer and the challenges she faced in establishing herself in a male-dominated industry.

“There was a time when funding female-led projects was a struggle. But persistence, collaboration, and the sheer determination to tell important stories have led to change. Winning an Academy Award was not just a personal achievement but a moment of validation for women in Indian cinema,” said Guneet, referring to her historic Oscar win for Best Documentary Short Subject.

Women Shaping the Future of Cinema

As the conversation unfolded, the two distinguished speakers explored how Indian women are making an indelible mark not only in Bollywood but also in international cinema. From actors to producers, directors to screenwriters, the growing presence of women in key decision-making roles has been instrumental in reshaping the industry.

Madhuri and Guneet shared stories of resilience, offering encouragement to aspiring filmmakers and artists. “The most important lesson I’ve learned is that women must believe in their own voice,” Madhuri added, stressing the importance of self-confidence and persistence.

IIFA’s Commitment to Empowering Women

Noreen Khan, Vice President of IIFA, expressed her pride in curating this event, reaffirming IIFA’s role as a platform that amplifies the voices of women in entertainment.

“As IIFA celebrates 25 years of cinematic excellence and global impact, we reaffirm our commitment to championing women in film and beyond. ‘The Journey of Women in Cinema’ is more than just a conversation; it’s a movement. By sharing stories of resilience, creativity, and leadership, we celebrate the trailblazers who have redefined the industry and inspire the next generation to break barriers and embrace their power. Through content, events, and collaborations, IIFA continues to be a platform where voices are heard, change is embraced, and the belief that ‘I Can Make a Difference’ transforms into collective action,” said Noreen Khan.

The session concluded with an interactive segment where attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and gain deeper insights into the speakers' experiences. The discussion left an indelible mark on the audience, highlighting the power of storytelling and the impact of women-led narratives.

A Celebration of Strength and Progress

Marking an iconic moment in IIFA’s history, the event was a testament to the strength, resilience, and evolution of women in cinema. The conversation between Madhuri Dixit and Guneet Monga not only celebrated their achievements but also served as an inspiration for the next generation of women in the entertainment industry.

Her father, Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, is not only a former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand and the former Education Minister of India but also a prolific writer. Her mother, a former principal, is also an accomplished writer. She has published two poetry collections, including Dharti Swarg Banaugi and Kalam Masal Ban Jaye.

Film Review: Mahayogi

Writer, Producer, Director, Actor: Rajan Luthra

Duration: 1 hour 44 minutes

Language: English

India Release: Prince Movies, Rakesh Sabharwal

Rating: 3 stars

The film Mahayogi, produced under the banner of production house Triloc Films inc USA, presents a heart touching story. The whole humanity of the world should live in love and peace and should not fight. This Hollywood film Mahayogi, which gives the message that there should never be a war between two countries, is worth watching.

The name of the film Mahayogi will make you think that it is a spiritual movie but it is not a spiritual movie. However, Rajan Luthra has played a character similar to Lord Shiva who is the central character in the film.

God's heart is crying seeing people fighting among themselves in the name of politics and religion. Casteism, apartheid, racial discrimination has increased today. Neighboring countries are bent on war and people are not ready to live together with their neighbors. There is unrest, bombs, missiles and the death everywhere. In such circumstances, a volcano of anger is erupting from inside the earth.

In such a situation, Mahayogi has come to tell all of us that this will not happen again. Now the time has come for humanity to wake up. Kalyug is about to end and soon Satyug will begin. The film gives the message that we should forget religious, social and internal discrimination and walk on the path of mutual love, peace and global unity. Only then will the good times begin.

Producer director Rajan Luthra is conveying the message of God to people through his film "Mahayogi Highway 1 to Oneness" that God resides in mutual love, harmony and unity. In the film, glimpses of American cities San Francisco, Los Angeles look attractive, while the beautiful locations of Haridwar and Kedarnath also captivate the mind.

Many expressed admiration for the unique way it blended art and technology, making it engaging for both art lovers and younger audiences who might not typically visit traditional museums.

Tabish F. Khan, Director of Theia Enterprise India, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “This is India’s first immersive experience of this scale. It’s not just about entertainment but about sparking curiosity and conversation.” Rakesh Rathi, Chairman of Black Tie Production, highlighted the innovative nature of the show, saying, “This event sets a new benchmark for large-scale events in India. It’s more than just a display; it’s an experience.” Chetan Chouhan, CEO of Black Tie Production, stated “Indian audiences are now looking for distinctive experiences that go beyond traditional concerts, clubs, and stand-up comedy. This event marks a step in that direction, and the company aims to introduce many more such groundbreaking events in India.”

Visitors were treated to a mesmerizing 360-degree soundscape, with music curated by British Grammy Award-nominated DJ SASHA, perfectly complementing the visuals. The AI-driven features, such as interacting with da Vinci’s works like The Mona Lisa, were a highlight, adding a modern twist to the historical content.

The visually mesmerizing experience  also showcased da Vinci’s groundbreaking scientific innovations and designs, such as a prototype helicopter, alongside over 20,000 words from his notebooks. This deeper dive into da Vinci’s life provided a new perspective on his work, inspiring audiences of all ages.

The opening night created waves in Mumbai, and the art show is set to travel to other major cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata, over the next two years.

Mumbai, India, October 03, 2024: At just 24, Yahhve Sharma, a North Indian actress with no connections in the film industry, has experienced both the highs and lows of Bollywood in her quest for a breakthrough role. Her persistence paid off, landing her a significant part in the upcoming film Section 108, slated for release in late 2024.

I chose the latter and eventually secured Section 108, where I acted alongside legends like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Arbaaz Khan. Playing the second lead, I gave my all to deliver my best performance."

Yahhve considers her challenges — the sleepless nights and career anxieties— as blessings that have pushed her to remain focused and persistent. "Mainstream cinema has always been my dream, one I chase even with open eyes. I’m confident that with hard work, I’ll achieve it. Every day is a new opportunity to grow, and I constantly strive to improve my craft."

Speaking about her upcoming TEDx talk, she shared her excitement about engaging with students and inspiring them to dream big. "In 20 to 25 minutes, I want to motivate them to stay determined, no matter the obstacles, and keep pushing until they reach their goals. I'm honoured to be a part of this platform, and I’ve prepared a focused message about the power of consistency."

Yahhve also took to Instagram to announce her first-ever collaboration with TEDx, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity.

The actress says her father, Dr. Mehernosh Mehta, PhD, organised a screening of her latest release The Diary of West Bengal in her hometown, Ahilya Nagar. It was an overwhelming moment for her as well as the audience, who were left teary-eyed because of the movie.

She said, “The screening of my film was organized by my father, and to be honest, he went above and beyond. He personally contacted distributors, producers, and did everything possible to make it happen. Since it was my hometown, and I was coming on the big screen in such a big movie, he took charge like any proud father would.”

The support was immense, and all of this was possible because of my father. He really advertised my movie in Ahmednagar in such a big way. I even remember going to buy batata vada at a local shop, and the vendor knew about my movie! He gave me a free batata vada, saying, ‘The heroine has come to my shop.’ He was so proud and even took a picture with me,” she said.

“It was such a surreal experience to feel this love and support. I knew that everyone in Ahmednagar knew about my movie. My father is a well-known figure in our hometown, so when the movie was about to release, the local newspapers covered it extensively. My childhood friend even bought all the newspapers from the stands that featured my article. The love and warmth I received from my hometown are unparalleled, and I feel incredibly blessed to have these people in my life,” she added.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Pooja shared a heartfelt thank you note from the team, expressing their deep appreciation for her performance and dedication. She captioned the post, "The Sweetest. Thank you @roykapurfilms #DEVA #itsawrap."

Deva, starring Pooja Hegde alongside Shahid Kapoor, is set to hit theatres on February 14, 2025. In the film, Pooja plays a determined journalist, while Shahid Kapoor takes on the role of a rebellious police officer embroiled in a high-profile case that unveils a tangled web of deceit and betrayal.

Directed by renowned Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrews and produced by Roy Kapur Films in collaboration with Zee Studios, Deva promises to be a gripping roller-coaster ride packed with drama, suspense, and unexpected twists. In addition to Deva, Pooja Hegde has a busy slate with upcoming projects including Surya 44, Nadiadwala Grandson’s Sanki, and other yet-to-be-announced ventures.

As the couple spoke about their journey, a surprising revelation about the role Pankhuri’s father played left everyone intrigued. While Gautam was ready for commitment early on—deciding just a month after they started dating in January that he wanted to marry her—Pankhuri’s father had a different perspective. He suggested they date for at least two years before even considering marriage. His reasoning? He believed that only through dating could they truly get to know each other, understand their values, and see if their goals aligned.

In those two years of dating, Gautam and Pankhuri not only faced differences but even decided to break up at one point. Gautam admitted, "At one point, I thought we should break up," due to communication challenges. Pankhuri wasn’t sharing her feelings openly, which made it difficult for Gautam to understand her emotions. However, they eventually found a way to communicate better, leading to a stronger and more resilient relationship. They both realized that open communication and understanding each other’s perspectives were key to overcoming their issues and growing as a couple.

Pankhuri’s father’s wise advice not only challenges the traditional rush towards marriage in Indian culture but also highlights the importance of dating as a crucial phase in any relationship. His belief that dating allows a couple to truly know one another set the foundation for what would eventually become a successful and happy marriage.

But the story doesn’t end there. Pankhuri and Gautam also shared tips on navigating the challenges of married life and parenthood. They revealed how their early relationship struggles shaped the way they approach parenting. The patience and partnership they cultivated during their dating years have become essential in maintaining a harmonious family life.

With stories like these, Couple of Things continues to attract audiences eager to understand what makes a relationship work. Through candid conversations, the show highlights that strong relationships aren’t just about romance—they’re built on a foundation of shared values, patience, and the willingness to grow together. So, the next time you’re thinking about rushing into a commitment, remember: sometimes, taking the time to truly understand your partner could be the secret ingredient to a lasting love story.

The famous film producer Prernaa Arora secured second favourable order from the Bombay High Court for release of Rs. 50 lakhs deposited by her father in the year 2019. Also amicably as per Order passed by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on 30th April 2024, the Hon’ble Court directed for release of this amount to her father. The underlying reason for this Order is the fact that the 5 years’ old dispute between Ms Prernaa Arora and Pooja Films was already settled amicably in 2023 and so, the Court ordered for release of this money to its rightful owner.  

For the First time Mr. Virender Arora (father of Prernaa Arora) who is a Farmer-agriculturist shared his side & Gratitude: 
"First and foremost, I extend my deepest gratitude to the Honorable High Court for demonstrating that justice is accessible to every Indian citizen , regardless of their status. Over the past five years, my family has upheld its dignity, choosing silence over retaliation amidst numerous unfounded allegations and considerable speculation. The truth has finally prevailed, marking a triumph of justice.

We are profoundly thankful for this compensation, which acknowledges the time, life, and suffering our family has endured. While no compensation can truly make up for the pain we have experienced, this judgment is a significant acknowledgment of our ordeal. Perhaps, in time, divine providence will offer further solace, but today’s verdict will be remembered as a significant milestone in our legal system.

I am immensely appreciative of the faith we placed in our legal framework, confident that it would recognize and vindicate our plight. Today, that belief has been vindicated. We Got the justice , and for this, I am thankful to everyone involved."

Also Prernaa Arora is currently involved in two major film projects: the Hindi film 'Dunk' and the Telugu film 'Hero Heeroine,' both set to release in early 2025.

Despite her growing popularity and success, Delbar Arya has faced challenges in her career journey. She has expressed her strong desire to work more extensively in the Bollywood industry. However, she feels that she is often categorized as a Punjabi actress, which limits her opportunities in Bollywood. This typecasting has been a significant hurdle for her, despite her evident talent and versatility.

Regarding the dynamics of the industry, Delbar Arya expressed her opinions as follows: "It's easy for the audience to think that if you are doing well in the Punjabi industry, you can easily get work elsewhere. Also, it's quite tough to get a main lady role in Punjabi films or Bollywood. As in Punjabi films, we have to use the proper words and tones, and we need to have proper control over the language but Bollywood gives a wide range of characters to work with also explore different perspectives of different characters and I'm eager to work in Bollywood films."

She aspires to collaborate with some of the biggest names in Bollywood, and her enthusiasm for the film is evident. "I hope to get the opportunity to work with Bollywood actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Kartik Aaryan at least once in my lifetime," said Delbar. Despite her desire to become well-known in Bollywood, she is still appreciative of the Punjabi industry for its contribution to her career. "But also I wouldn't want to leave my roots in the Punjabi industry because it has given me everything I have today," she stated.

Delbar Arya's journey is a testament to her dedication and ambition. As she continues to navigate the challenges and opportunities in both the Punjabi and Bollywood industries, her fans eagerly await her future projects. With her talent and determination, there's no doubt that Delbar Arya will continue to shine and achieve great heights in Indian cinema.

Harsh Katara doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s like one of the children visiting Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory – he doesn’t care why he has got the golden ticket and can’t decide on which goodies to munch first. He doesn’t want the illusion to end, despite knowing that it’s an illusion. What’s more, he’s invited us all into his private world to enjoy it with him and the magic circle is ever-expanding.

He’s a true hero of the masses. Someone who can be truly called the ‘family pack hero’. The entire family likes him for their reasons. Everybody loves him, and just like Raymond he doesn’t know why but he’s glad all the same. By his admission, he doesn’t want to limit himself to just one genre. His star is shining bright right now and blazing high in the sky.

What's Your Perspective As An Actor?

As an actor, experimenting with every film is my goal and intention. That’s the best part about being an actor: getting diverse scripts and doing diverse roles. And that’s the beauty of it. I want to create a legacy with my films.

The pressure is to do good work. I want to keep entertaining audiences and surprising my fans with something new and that’s my goal. So I just want to keep doing better and better work so that it keeps everyone happy, the masses, and the producers. So this pressure is good. It motivates me to keep pushing myself and doing good work.

How do you look back on your journey?

I look back with gratitude. The journey has been a tough one. Auditions, running around in trains, getting rejected multiple times. But the good part is that I made my debut on my own. After that, I struggled even more. And then movies happened. But my focus was always on work. And I didn’t pay attention to anything else. I still have a long way to go from where I am now. But I look back with gratitude and love.

You’ve done a bit of everything on screen. What do your aspirations look like at the moment?

I feel like my journey has just started. I aspire to do more work...I aspire to earn the No. 1 spot. One has to excel in their work no matter what the job is. It could be a 9-to-5 job, and one still should do an excellent job to feel better and move ahead. My aim is the same; I want to get to the No. 1 spot, and right now I am working hard for it. Fingers crossed, it will happen soon.

Harsh’s final remarks about acting and the Indian Cinema Industry! 

Acting In This Industry Is Good Because Once You Get Work Even In One Big Project You Start Getting More And More Shortly And Also Allows You To Grow More. But On The Contrary, It’s Difficult To Make Your Name Not Just In This Industry But Anywhere Else. The profession is no longer as simple as it used to be, it’s now the survival of the fittest.

The fraternity has only grown bigger now. Competition is not only amongst actors, who have grown in numbers, but today there are content creators, too, who are a part of it. You need to work on your craft as well as physical appearance, and now social media, too,”.

There is a new opportunity every day, but with it a reminder that one can’t just sit back and relax. Work has changed to an extent where once you may have been a big fish in a small pond, but today you could be a small fish in a big pond. And to survive, you must be creative, you must remember that you have to stand out and continue reinventing yourself. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing when I’m not shooting — I try to take my social media more seriously.”

Your remarks about your book titled Star On The Rise!

This Book is like an added Identity For Me And I would like to thank Heli the author of this Book who has given her time and energy to this Book. People who aren't aware of me and my journey will easily come to know about it via this Book. I would urge everyone to buy this book and read it.
