Protinex India has launched a new integrated campaign Strength hai toh simple hai , a celebration of everyday strength that speaks directly to the millennial Indian adult. The campaign is rooted in an insight that is simple, sharp, and deeply felt: from 30s onwards, the body quietly begins to lose muscle strength, and most of us don't get enough protein to keep up. The will to show up for work, for family, for life, never wavers. But when the body can't match it, even the simplest things begin to feel harder than they should. Protinex India launches its new integrated campaign, "Strength Hai Toh Simple Hai," highlighting the importance of everyday muscle strength and protein nutrition The brand film brings this truth to life with warmth and gentle humour. A mother comes home after a long day her young son spots her from across the room, lights up, and runs straight into her arms. She reaches down to lift him. And in that split second, something that should feel effortless, doesn't. The film ends with a question that lands with quiet sharpness Chhota kaam lage bhaari? Kahin muscle strength kam toh nahi ho rahi? (Small tasks feel heavy? Could your muscle strength be slipping?). Before resolving into the ease and joy that everyday strength makes possible. youtu.be/OwG9oUmmvio?si=FRkv27gGEHao-QQI The campaign is anchored in Protinex's core nutritional proposition: delivering 40% of the recommended daily protein intake per serving , + 25 Vital Nutrients for strong muscle health. A healthy adult requires 1.0 - 1.2g of protein per kg of body weight daily 1 (ref: Harris S, DePalma J, Barkoukis H. Protein and Aging: Practicalities and Practice. Nutrients. 2025;17(15):2461. doi:10.3390/nu17152461) and Protinex is designed to meaningfully bridge that gap as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. The campaign goes live across a fully integrated media ecosystem, reaching 53 million consumers pan-India .

Talking about the concept, Ms. Priyanka Verma, Marketing Director Danone India said: Strength is often associated with extraordinary feats. But its most important role is far more personal.

Mumbai's redevelopment boom can become a 'materials mine', not a debris crisis
Mumbai's extensive redevelopment drive presents a significant opportunity for waste material reuse. Experts advocate viewing demolition debris as a valuable resource for new construction projects. Properly segregated waste can be processed into recycled aggregates and building components. This approach reduces landfill pressure and conserves natural resources for sustainable urban growth. Future buildings in Mumbai may increasingly utilize materials from demolished structures.
Maharashtra's legislature has amended the MHADA Act to revive Section 79A. This amendment addresses legal ambiguities that previously halted redevelopment efforts. The state expects this change to strengthen its Supreme Court case regarding building safety. Thousands of families reside in dangerous, ageing buildings across Mumbai city. This legislative step moves forward crucial urban renewal initiatives for residents.

As film crews return, Kashmir finds its spotlight again
Srinagar, July 9: As peace and normalcy steadily return to Kashmir in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, the valley is once again echoing with the sounds of lights, camera, action, with film shootings resuming after months of uncertainty, bringing fresh optimism to the tourism and entertainment sectors. The return of film crews is being seen as a significant confidence-building measure, reflecting the revival of Kashmirs image as one of the countrys most sought-after filming destinations. Industry stakeholders and tourism officials believe the resumption of shoots will not only revive cinematic tourism but also generate employment for hundreds of local artists, technicians, transport operators and hospitality workers. The first major production to return to Kashmir after the April attack is a Telugu-language comedy directed by filmmaker Vimal Krishna, whose crew shot in Pahalgam and Srinagar in November last year. The production marks the first film shoot in the valley after the attack that had forced several production houses to postpone or review their Kashmir schedules. Speaking during the shoot, director Vimal Krishna said Kashmir had exceeded the teams expectations in terms of security and hospitality. I can confidently say Kashmir is 100 percent safe. We have felt completely secure throughout our stay. The local people have welcomed us like family, and the administration and security agencies have extended full support. I hope many more filmmakers and tourists return to the valley, he said. He said the team had visited Kashmir for a recce before finalising the schedule and found the situation conducive for filming. We were searching for beautiful locations, and Kashmir remains unmatched. Our experience has been extremely positive, and we will continue shooting in Srinagar after completing the Pahalgam schedule, he added. Officials associated with the tourism sector said the return of film units is a major morale booster after months of cancellations that followed the terror attack. Film shootings have always served as the biggest ambassadors for Kashmir tourism. Every film shot here inspires thousands of people to visit these locations. The return of filmmakers sends a strong message that confidence is returning, a senior tourism official said. Local line producers said they have started receiving fresh inquiries from several production houses in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai for shoots scheduled later this year. The attack had created uncertainty, and many projects were put on hold. But with the successful completion of the ongoing shoot, filmmakers have regained confidence. We expect several more crews to arrive in the coming months, Rahi Khan, a local line producer told Rising Kashmir. The valley has a long association with Indian cinema. From classics such as Kashmir Ki Kali, Jab Jab Phool Khile and Kabhi Kabhie to recent productions including Rockstar, Haider, Fitoor, Laila Majnu, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dunki, Kashmir has remained one of the countrys most picturesque filming destinations. Recent years have also witnessed the shooting of projects such as Alpha and several south Indian films, reaffirming the valleys growing appeal across different film industries. In January this year, Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan, along with director Kabir Khan, shot portions of an upcoming sports drama in Srinagar and Pahalgam. In May, Kartik Aaryan returned to the valley with actor Sreeleela to film an untitled romantic drama directed by Anurag Basu, with several sequences shot across Srinagar. The popular television series Seher Hone Ko Hai, currently airing on Colours TV, has also drawn attention for its breathtaking Kashmir backdrop. Several scenes of the show were filmed in Srinagar last week, showcasing the valleys scenic beauty to audiences across the country. On Wednesday, Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi accompanied by her brother and actor Saqib Saleem visited INOX Srinagar to promote their recently released film Baby Do Die Do, further highlighting the growing engagement of the Hindi film industry with Kashmir. Industry experts believe the revival of film tourism carries economic significance beyond cinema, benefiting hotels, houseboats, transporters, guides, local artisans and small businesses across the valley.
