The grand event witnessed the unveiling of a majestic idol of Lord Anantha Padmanabha Swamy, offering devotees and attendees a spiritually enriching experience. The beautifully crafted idol became the centerpiece of the celebrations, drawing admiration from devotees, film enthusiasts, and members of the public alike.

Speaking at the launch, lead actor Virat Karrna thanked everyone who attended despite the heavy rains.
"Our entire team has worked tirelessly on this film for the past two years. I hope audiences visit theatres on July 3 and bless us in the same way they have blessed this event. Through this Ratha Yatra, we will travel across several cities, and I hope people will make our film a grand success. I am grateful to director Abhishek Nama for giving me the opportunity to be a part of his dream project. Though our producers, Nishitha and Kishore, are newcomers, they backed this film with remarkable courage and conviction. My thanks also to Nabha for sharing the screen with me," he said.

Director Abhishek Nama emphasized that the initiative is about much more than promoting a film.
"Thank you to everyone who travelled from far-off places and joined us despite the rain. This is not merely a promotional event for a movie. It is an effort to reconnect with our culture, traditions, and roots, and to pass them on to future generations. We hope this initiative resonates with everyone, and we seek your blessings and support."

He further expressed gratitude to the producers for supporting such an ambitious vision.
"This project would not have been possible without their unwavering support. I pushed Virat to his limits during the making of the film, and he dedicated himself completely, even working through a severe illness. Once audiences watch this film, they will truly understand his potential. I also thank Nabha and hope everyone enjoys the music composed by Junaid and Abhi. We wish for the Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Ratha Yatra to become a grand success," he added.

The Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Ratha Yatra, conceptualized and announced by the Nagabandham team, will travel across multiple cities, carrying a message of faith, heritage, and cultural pride while building anticipation for one of the year's most awaited cinematic spectacles.
With the unveiling of the grand idol and the launch of the yatra, Nagabandham has set the stage for a promotional journey that transcends cinema, celebrating India's rich spiritual and cultural legacy.

Directed by debutant filmmaker Adhish Rana and produced by Amardeep Rana, Jeena Dil Se has steadily built strong word-of-mouth among moviegoers. What began as a modestly budgeted film has now transformed into one of the few pleasant suprise hits of Bollywood in 2026.

One of the biggest strengths of the film has been its music album. Featuring six songs, the soundtrack has struck a chord with audiences across platforms. A rare film with every song going viral which contributed to the film’s growing popularity. The music has become one of the key talking points among viewers, making Jeena Dil Se a comedy entertainer that boasts both strong humor and a highly successful soundtrack.

Audiences have particularly appreciated the film’s storytelling, unique approach in direction, comedy, and narrative. The positive reception has translated into impressive theatrical performance, with the film reportedly recovering its production cost and now moving comfortably towards becoming a hit venture.

Among high-profile releases, Jeena Dil Se has managed to carve its own space and is now being regarded as one of the standout comedy films of 2026. Its consistent performance at the box office and growing popularity among family audiences have helped it emerge as one of the top comedy releases of the year.

The film features an ensemble cast including Ruma Sharma, Lakhya Handa, Mehak Jain, Yash Purohit, Kunal Chhabra, Deeksha Suryawanshi, Teji Singh, Priyanka Modgill, Shivani Wazir, Kanchan Singh, Kiara Diwan, Abhishek Singh Rajput, Shradha Joshi, Muskan Varshney, Kriti Verma, and Viraaj (Kushagra Singh).

With strong audience appreciation, a chartbuster soundtrack, and a successful theatrical run, Jeena Dil Se has proven that entertaining content and positive word-of-mouth can still work wonders at the box office.

For Janvi, the journey into production has been years in the making. Family commitments and the responsibility of raising her children meant that her ambition of starting a production house had to take a backseat.

"I always wanted to open my own production house, but because of my family responsibilities and my children, I had to give up that dream for some time. Now that my children have grown up and I have more freedom to focus on my aspirations, I decided it was finally time to pursue it," Janvi says.

The turning point came when she reconnected with her old friend Kaushik Thakkar, who has spent nearly two decades in the entertainment industry.

"I met my old friend Kaushik Thakkar, who has been in the industry for around 20 years. We discussed our ideas and eventually planned to start a production house together. That's how Shreenathji Media Works was born," she shares.

The duo's short film Condumb reflects Janvi's belief that cinema can be a powerful medium for addressing social issues and challenging long-standing taboos.

"As a producer, I believe cinema has the power to start important conversations. Condoms are not just about contraception; they are also about health, safety, responsibility and informed choice," she says.

Janvi feels that despite growing awareness, discussions around sexual health remain uncomfortable for many people.

"Despite their importance, many people still feel uncomfortable discussing condoms openly. Through this short film, I wanted to address that stigma in a creative and relatable way," she explains.

For the producer, Condumb is more than just a film—it's an attempt to educate while entertaining.

"My goal is to educate, raise awareness and encourage healthier attitudes towards sexual health while telling a meaningful and engaging story," she concludes.

With Condumb, Janvi Doshi and Shreenathji Media Works hope to create content that not only engages audiences but also encourages conversations that society often avoids.

“Managing multiple responsibilities was definitely challenging, but because the story was very close to my heart, it felt natural. As the concept writer, I knew exactly what message I wanted to convey. As a producer, I focused on ensuring that all resources, planning, and logistics were in place,” he said.

He further added, “As a director, my goal was to bring authenticity and realism to the screen. Having a dedicated team, including Jayati Bhatia, Varsha Solanki, Chirag Vora, and the entire crew, made the process smoother. Their support allowed me to balance these roles effectively and stay focused on the film’s vision. I must also acknowledge Janvi Doshi, Partner at Shreenathji Mediaworks, whose constant support and belief in meaningful storytelling played an important role throughout the journey.”

Speaking about the casting process, Kaushik shared, “When I narrated the concept to Jayati Bhatia, she immediately connected with the subject and agreed to be a part of the project. Her enthusiasm gave me a lot of confidence.”

“Since the film deals with a socially relevant issue, it required actors who could bring sincerity and depth to their performances. Varsha Solanki was also a perfect fit for the role, and together they helped bring the story to life in a very impactful manner,” he added.

Casting, according to him, was driven by instinct and a shared understanding of the film’s emotional core. “We shot the film across various locations in Mumbai, including several chawls, which added authenticity to the narrative. The real locations helped us capture the environment and emotions required for the story. We have also submitted the film to several film festivals across India and internationally.”

The decision to shoot on real locations was a conscious one, helping the film stay rooted in reality. Sharing details about the release, he said, “We are releasing Condumb on YouTube on June 4 so that it can reach the widest possible audience.”

“Since the film is based on a subject that concerns society at large, YouTube seemed like the ideal platform to maximize viewership and engagement. We hope people will watch the film, connect with its message, and become more aware of the consequences of such actions,” he added.

For Kaushik, accessibility is just as important as the message itself. Looking ahead, he shared the vision of the production house: “At Shreenathji Mediaworks, along with our Partner Janvi Doshi, we plan to continue creating meaningful content that is rooted in awareness, reality, and true stories. We want to tell stories that entertain but also leave audiences with something to think about.”

“Going forward, we aim to produce more short films and digital content that address important social issues and inspire conversations within society,” he concluded.

The newly released poster offers another intriguing glimpse into the film's mysterious universe, highlighting a captivating "World of Secrets" that lies at the heart of the story. Filled with elements of mythology, adventure, destiny, and divine power, the visual has further fueled audience curiosity about the grand cinematic spectacle that awaits on the big screen.

A key highlight of the programme was a special culinary demonstration by Chef Vikas Khanna, who showcased innovative ways to incorporate cranberries into both international and Indian formats. Through the presentation, Chef Khanna underlined how the fruit can seamlessly move from festive tables to everyday meals while delivering taste, colour, and nutritional value.

Addressing guests, Chef Vikas Khanna said, “Food, for me, is about balance, nourishing the body while celebrating culture and joy. Cranberries carry that duality beautifully, they are rich in health benefits yet equally vibrant in taste and colour. I am honoured to partner with The Cranberry Institute to share their story across borders and inspire people to bring them to their tables in new and meaningful ways.”

 Speaking on the significance of the new findings, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, Professor of Surgery, Robotic & Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Gleneagles & Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai said, “H. pylori bacterial infection is a major health concern in India, affecting nearly 60% of our population and contributing to conditions ranging from chronic acidity to stomach cancer. This latest research highlights that consuming cranberry juice twice daily for eight weeks can reduce H. pylori infection rates by 20%. Such results indicate a promising, natural, and complementary strategy to manage this persistent infection alongside conventional medical treatments.”

He further added, “If this approach is adopted widely in India, it could significantly improve patient compliance, reduce antibiotic resistance, and positively impact our overall health economy.”

Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative for The Cranberry Institute added, “We are very delighted and honoured to be associated with renowned culinary maestro, Chef Vikas Khanna. His extraordinary talent and passion for food have not only elevated Indian cuisine on the global stage but have also inspired countless food enthusiasts.

Terrorism is a familiar cinematic subject, but Bihu Attack distinguishes itself by placing the narrative within the cultural landscape of Assam. Director Suzad Iqbal Khan opts for a grounded and serious approach, avoiding unnecessary dramatization and allowing the subject matter to take precedence over spectacle.

Story

Raj Kunwar (Dev Menaria), a court-martial officer and a single father, believes that lasting peace cannot be achieved through brute force alone. His ideology is put to the test when intelligence agencies uncover a terror conspiracy aimed at disrupting the Bihu festival, coinciding with the visit of the Defence Minister.

As tensions escalate, Raj teams up with the IB Chief (Arbaaz Khan) and security agencies to foil the threat. The narrative progresses in a steady, procedural manner, with the climax emerging as the film’s strongest and most impactful segment.

Performances

Dev Menaria delivers a restrained and mature performance, effectively portraying the conflict between professional duty and personal emotion. Arbaaz Khan brings gravitas and authority to his role. Daisy Shah has limited screen presence, while the supporting cast performs sincerely, though some characters lack depth and development.

Direction and Technical Aspects

The film adopts a realistic visual treatment that aligns with its serious tone. While pacing slows at certain points, the controlled background score and minimal use of music complement the narrative rather than overpower it.

Final Verdict

Bihu Attack is a sincere and thoughtful effort that prioritizes its message over commercial formulas. Despite a few limitations, the film stands out as a bold and meaningful project—made possible by producer Prabir Kanta Saha’s willingness to back a subject-driven, risk-taking narrative.

Audience comments highlight that the film maintains a lively rhythm throughout, powered by the chemistry shared by the lead trio. Ajay Devgn brings his trademark screen presence and understated humour, while R. Madhavan offers warmth, sincerity and emotional depth. However, it is Rakul Preet Singh—returning as Ayesha—who is being unanimously celebrated as the film’s most vibrant force.

Social media users have been particularly vocal about Rakul’s magnetic presence and expressive performance. One viewer praised her with the line, “Rakul presents a lethal combo of hotness and screen presence—beauty plus acting skill,” remarking that she steals attention whenever she appears on-screen. Another early reaction noted that her arc carries significant weight and added, “Rakul delivers a standout act as Ayesha. Her performance in the Highway sequence and her command in the climax elevated the narrative.”

Many fans are also highlighting her emotional range, with one tweet stating, “Climax scene has my full heart. Rakul carried it with beauty and pure skill—Ayesha supremacy.” These reactions indicate a strong audience connection to her portrayal, suggesting that her character forms the emotional centrepiece of the sequel.

Chemistry has emerged as a major point of discussion, with fans appreciating how naturally Rakul blends with her co-stars. One user pointed out, “Chemistry with R. Madhavan has depth; chemistry with Ajay has spark; chemistry with Meezan has a fresh charm. Rakul carries all with effortless ease.” This multi-dimensional dynamic appears to be one of the film’s distinctive strengths and has contributed to the positive chatter online.

Rakul’s comic timing has also earned applause, especially her delivery in the much-discussed “The Mard” monologue. A widely circulated comment reads, “Rakul shines in Ayesha. The Mard monologue becomes a standout moment—funny and fab in equal measure.” Many viewers seem to agree that her blend of humour, glamour and emotional nuance gives the sequel a lively pulse.

With encouraging feedback rising across platforms, De De Pyaar De 2 has entered theatres with strong early momentum. Directed by Anshul Sharma and written by Luv Ranjan, the film is produced by Luv Ranjan and Bhushan Kumar. If the initial audience wave is any indication, the film is set for a promising theatrical journey.

Last year, the actress welcomed a Bal Ganesh idol, and this time she brought home a slightly bigger idol. “The entire décor and setup is my mother’s doing—she puts her heart into it for Bappa,” Madhurima shared, expressing her gratitude for the divine energy Bappa brings into their home. “It feels like Bappa chooses us,” she added with emotion.

As the day of visarjan arrived, Madhurima admitted that it always makes her emotional. This year, before bidding Bappa farewell, she leaned in to whisper a heartfelt wish in His ears—praying for the well-being of her family and loved ones.

But her prayers went beyond her home. Deeply moved by the ongoing natural disasters and floods in Uttarakhand, Shimla, Manali, and Jammu, Madhurima said she wished for the safety and well-being of all those affected—humans as well as animals. “Bappa is Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles. I believe He will take care of this situation and protect everyone in need, especially those suffering in Uttarakhand and other affected regions,” she said with folded hands.

The visarjan was a family affair, with loved ones and close friends joining in the procession, singing and dancing as they bid their beloved Bappa goodbye, until next year when He returns again to bless their home.

In the striking poster unveiled on Instagram, Siddhant stands beside Triptii Dimri with unflinching intensity. The duo’s chemistry crackles through the frame—his quiet defiance meets her raw vulnerability, capturing a love story laced with pain, power, and passion.

Far from a conventional romance, Dhadak 2 hints at deeper themes—identity, social conflict, and the emotional cost of standing against the tide. It promises not just a narrative, but an experience that feels both intimate and cinematic.

Adding another layer of mystique, Siddhant teased the film’s sonic soul in an enigmatic Instagram story, writing:

"A poem by Shailendra. Couplet by Bhagat Singh. Kishore Kumar’s voice. Thomas Jefferson’s words. Little bit of SRK. And orchestration done in Budapest."

This poetic lineup hints at a soundtrack that’s imaginative, textured, and unlike anything Bollywood has heard before.

With Siddhant’s commanding presence, Triptii’s graceful intensity, and a story that dares to dig deeper, Dhadak 2 is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most emotionally resonant films.

The reign of Maalik continues to grip the nation. After an electrifying title track launch in Lucknow, the team of the much-anticipated action drama Maalik created a storm in Jaipur. The iconic Raj Mandir theatre was transformed into ‘Maalik Ka Raj Mandir’ until the film’s release, marking a historic moment in the Pink City’s cinematic scene.

Lead actor Rajkummar Rao, co-star Manushi Chhillar, and director Pulkit arrived in Jaipur with full-on Maalik swag. They interacted with fans, who turned up in huge numbers, making the promotional event nothing short of a celebration. With cheers echoing through the streets, the film’s team amplified the excitement for what promises to be one of the most gripping action thrillers of the year.

Set in the gritty backdrop of 1980s Allahabad, Maalik is a high-octane action entertainer that dives deep into the world of ambition, power, and survival. The story unravels the dark alleys of a society ruled by guns, greed, and loyalty — where every decision can cost everything.

Director Pulkit, known for his intense storytelling and emotionally charged thrillers, takes the helm of this cinematic venture. The film is produced under the prestigious banner of Tips Films by Kumar Taurani, in collaboration with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films.

The buzz around Maalik has been steadily growing with each city visit, and Jaipur added another feather to its cap with a uniquely themed theatre experience. As fans eagerly await the release, the film promises a hard-hitting narrative with power-packed performances.

Maalik is all set to hit the big screens on July 11, 2025, and the anticipation couldn’t be higher. With its gripping plot, stellar cast, and powerful direction, the film is poised to leave a lasting impact on audiences across the country.

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.

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.

ZEE5 has released the first look of its upcoming original series, Chhal Kapat The Deception. Set during an intimate wedding in Burhanpur, the story takes a dark turn when one of the bride’s best friends is found dead. The celebration unravels into a tense whodunnit filled with secrets, resentment and betrayal among lifelong friends. Leading the investigation is Inspector Devika (Shriya Pilgaonkar), a sharp cop with a shadowy past and keen instincts. As buried truths emerge, relationships are put to test, and the line between loyalty & deceit begins to blur.

The IIFA 2025 festivities embraced the theme ‘Silver Was The New Gold’, symbolizing its 25 years of excellence in Indian cinema. Jaipur, the heart of Rajasthan’s cultural heritage, welcomed Bollywood’s finest for this prestigious occasion on March 8th–9th, 2025. The event not only honored Bollywood’s present and future but also paid tribute to its rich past, with the screening of Sholay standing as a testament to its timeless legacy.

As the film industry celebrated this milestone, Jaipur reaffirmed its position as a significant cultural hub. The fusion of Sholay’s Golden Jubilee and IIFA’s Silver Anniversary made this year’s celebrations an unforgettable tribute to Indian cinema’s glorious journey.

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.

“The Journey of Women in Cinema” was not just a celebration of past achievements but a vision for the future—one where women continue to break boundaries and redefine cinema. With its legacy of promoting Indian cinema globally, IIFA remains at the forefront of fostering meaningful conversations and empowering women in entertainment.

As the lights dimmed on this impactful session, one thing was clear—women in cinema are not just changing the narrative; they are leading it.

“Holi Splash is Mumbai’s biggest and most inclusive Holi festival, welcoming everyone—from Bollywood and TV celebrities to music lovers, partygoers, and diverse communities, including specially-abled individuals. It’s not just about colors; it’s an experience featuring top DJs, a massive rain dance setup, color blasts, premium F&B zones, and exclusive VIP & Celebrity areas,” he says.

Talking about the key highlights of the event, he adds, “There will be a live performance by pop sensation Purva Mantri, known as the Lady Ranveer Singh. She has sung Ishqa from Bobby Rishi Ki Love Story, a track for Zee5’s Pyaar Ki Testing, and Uljhi, a special collaboration with her mother. Additionally, she voiced the Garba song Aavati Kalay, penned and released by PM Narendra Modi. Her latest single, Mascara, released on 20th February on her official YouTube channel, is a celebration of self-expression, confidence, and embracing one’s individuality.

We also have a power-packed DJ lineup and a massive rain dance arena to keep the Holi vibes high. There will be an exclusive fan pit, VIP lounge, and a celebrity zone for the best experience, where attendees can play Holi with top television and Bollywood celebrities. Additionally, we have a dedicated specially-abled-friendly section for an inclusive celebration. Needless to say, there will be unlimited organic colors, thandai, pani puri shots, premium F&B options, SFX, and color blasts for an unforgettable party vibe.”

Talking about how the event has evolved over the years, he says, “Holi Splash (formerly Colour Splash) is now in its 6th season, growing every year in scale, crowd, and experience. Starting with 6,000+ attendees in 2019, it has now become Mumbai’s most sought-after Holi festival, expecting over 24,000 attendees this year.”

The event will be held at Inorbit Mall in Mumbai. 

Celebrities who attended the event in 2024 includes Aastha Gill, Aditya Deshmukh, Ulka Gupta, Shiv Thakare, Sumbul Touqeer, Shivin Narang, Gaurav Khanna with wife Akanksha, Sahil Phull, Megha Chakraborty, Seerat Kapoor, Neil Bhatt, Aishwarya Sharma, Mrunal Jain, Neel Samarthh, Saanand Verma,  Mohit Kapoor, Shivam Khajuria, Srishti Jain, Sonal Panvar, Nandish Sandhu, Namish Taneja, Riyadh Sharma, Paras Madaan, Kunal Verma, Puja Banerjee, Deepali Pansare, Aman Jaiswal, Shagun Singh, Sonali Kukreja,  Varun Barot, Dhruv Mehra, Kalyan Soni, Rutika Malviya and Gaurav Chopra.

She also adds, "India might have had a slight edge considering their recent form and a great team. However, Pakistan had the ability to cause an upset. But Virat Kohli’s confident batting helped India demolish Pakistan in a one-sided affair. Apart from leading India to a big win and taking them closer to a spot in the semifinal, Kohli also broke multiple batting records on Sunday. He became the first batsman to score a century against Pakistan in both the Champions Trophy and the ODI World Cup. Undoubtedly, Kohli, who is the greatest ODI batter of all time, would like to maintain his good form in the upcoming matches and help Team India become Champions Trophy winners for a record-extending third time."
