Indian pop titan and streaming powerhouse Darshan Raval is plotting a massive return to the road. Produced and promoted by leading live events promoter Team Innovation in association with Warner Music India, the singer-songwriter has announced a five-city tour The Love Letters India Tour, marking his first extensive live trek following a three-year hiatus. Riding high on the success of his latest monsoon anthem Barsaat Lagdi Ae, Raval will bring his high-production, fan-first show to major arenas across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi this November and December. The highly anticipated trek marks Ravals official return to the touring circuit following a significant gap. While Raval historically commanded massive crowds on his landmark 20222023 multi-city national tours, most notably his 10-city Love A Fair India Tour and subsequent Sound Of Love concert series, this upcoming winter run represents his first full-scale road effort since early 2023, signalling a grand new chapter of massive production and artistic reinvention. Far from a standard, passive concert sequence, the 2026 run is structurally designed as a hyper-immersive, fan-first event series. The tour will integrate premium global production standards utilizing state-of-the-art spatial acoustics and dynamic, panoramic stage architecture to cultivate an intimate, close-proximity atmosphere even within large arena spaces. Strategically prioritized for his core listener community, the venues will feature interactive, on-ground community activations, dedicated fan hubs, and experiential storytelling zones designed to bridge the physical space between the artist and the audience. Darshan Raval states, Every tour feels like a reunion with the people who have built this journey with me. This run is particularly close to my heart because it follows a long period away from the stage. We are building a show focused on making every section of the arena feel like the front row and it is the exact homecoming my fans deserve after three long years. Mohit Bijlani, Founder, Team Innovation states, What sets Darshan apart is the profound, almost subcultural loyalty of his fan community. They don't just listen; they live his music. That is why this tour rejects the typical, cookie-cutter concert blueprint. We are leaning heavily into specialized, on-ground community integrations and immersive layouts. We want every single person in that room to feel a direct, intimate connection to the stage. It is a massive arena tour wrapped in the soul of a close-knit community gathering. Jay Mehta, Managing Director, Warner Music India & SAARC states, Partnering with Darshan Raval for this monumental tour aligns perfectly with our vision at Warner Music India to elevate the live music experience to global standards. Darshans evolution into a standalone pop icon is unparalleled and after a considerable hiatus, his fans are hungry for a true spectacle. This tour is more than a live show; it is a celebration of a brand-new studio album and a testament to his massive cross-generational appeal. We are incredibly proud to back a production of this scale that honours the deep, emotional bond he shares with his global listener community. Tickets are available exclusively on District by Zomato. Ravals market dominance relies on his unique duality: a trusted Bollywood playback engine combined with a fiercely independent pop identity. His catalog spans massive cinematic anthems like Chogada, Mehrama, Kamariya and the streaming behemoth Kabhii Tumhhe alongside genre-defining independent non-film hits like Tera Zikr, Ek Tarfa, Asal Mein, Mahiye Jinna Sohna and his signature monsoon anthem Baarish Lete Aana. This cross-generational repertoire has cemented his status as a standalone pop idol capable of filling stadium-scale rooms independently.

Aap se milke bahut accha laga! Ravi then credited the films director and writer, Thank you to Guru bhai and Puneet bhai. You guys wanted me to be a part of it.

Inki shakti ke baare mein bataunga toh aap log pagla jaayenge! This woman, standing next to me, is unbelievable. Ill tell you how. When we were shooting this song, the temperature was 2 or 3 degrees. Divyenndu babu and I were wearing warm clothes due to the weather. But not this lady. Hawa bhi chal rahi thi. Whenever we would be told that hamara shot nahin hai, we would run. But not her. Then, in his style, Ravi Kishan added, Today, the advance booking has begun and people have gone bonkers. Kamaal ka response hai iska. I have just come from my constituency, Gorakhpur. So, Ive got a garma-garam report that people cant wait for September 4, the day the film releases. He continued, I have an experience of working on so many films. I can guarantee that people will come out of the theatres satisfied. They would not feel cheated. Youll see Kaleen Bhaiyya, Babloo, Guddu and Munna in a virat roop and youd see me in a pagal roop!

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Meghna Gulzar, producers Vineet Jain and Dr Jayantilal Gada and Junglee Pictures CEO Amrita Pandey attended the trailer launch of Daayra at a multiplex in Mumbai. The film deals with violence by a minor against another minor. Kareena was asked about what she feels about it, especially as a mother to sons, Taimur and Jeh. Kareena Kapoor Khan said, Its the responsibility of the boy and man as well. I am a mother of two sons and, of course, I am terrified because as a mother, you want to do your best. You want to protect them. You want to also show them that they are responsible. So, the only thing I keep praying for is that men should be more kind. The perception is that girls are always sensitive. But thats not always the case. There are men and boys who today have no fear of being sensitive and crying in front of a girl or their mother. I always tell my son, If he wants to cry, he should go ahead. He has to experience that and he has to know (what it feels like). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Kareena added, There were some scenes in this film which would just automatically choke me. Theres a scene which I have done with my fellow co-star (pointing at someone in the audience); its also my favourite scene in the film. Meghna is not allowing me to say anything more! But it touches upon the belief that galti hamesha ladki ki hi hoti hai. You have to see that scene to understand the way Meghna has written it and the way she has communicated it. (It was so powerful that) I didnt need any glycerine. I just remembered the lines. I was naturally kind of very disturbed and choked. Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has praised Dhurandhar The Revenge for its realistic portrayal of characters while appearing to take an indirect dig at films that focus heavily on hero elevation, style and spectacle. Although Varma did not name any film in his lengthy post on X, his comments come amid ongoing comparisons between Ranveer Singhs Dhurandhar The Revenge and Yashs Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown Ups. The comparison between the two films began after both were initially scheduled to release on the same date in March. While Toxic was subsequently postponed and eventually released last week, discussions comparing the two films have continued. Ram Gopal Varma praises Dhurandhars characters Sharing his thoughts on Dhurandhar The Revenge, Varma highlighted what he believes makes the film connect with audiences. Drawing a comparison with his own 1998 crime drama Satya, he wrote, What every film maker should understand from #dhurandhar is that it is full of living, breathing characters who seem as real as you and me sitting and watching in the theatre, hence making it highly relatable. He added, Satya is about gangsters, but be it Bhiku Matre, Kallu Mama or Vakil Mule, they all look as real as anyone real. Dhurandhar took this to another level. Varma went on to describe realism as the key takeaway for filmmakers, particularly when working on big-budget projects. That is the only lesson worth stealing for all film makers which the one most expensive films refuse to learn, he wrote, before referring to James Camerons Titanic as an example of a large-scale production that invested in making its world appear believable. Dhurandhar does not treat its hero as a walking poster The filmmaker also praised the way Dhurandhar handles its central character, arguing that the protagonist does not always have to dominate every scene. Dhurandhar does not treat its hero as a walking poster who must be worshipped at all costs. He can be non existent in the room. He can wait tables, listen instead of speaking, miscalculate, get dirty, get smaller in front of more smaller characters, Varma wrote. He further praised the film for allowing its supporting characters to exist independently of the protagonist. The politician, the cop, the cousin, the juice shop friend none of them feel hired to decorate the star. They feel like people who would still be there whether the hero was there or not, he said. According to Varma, this approach makes the audience more invested in the world rather than simply waiting for the next hero-elevation moment. What every film maker should understand from #dhurandhar is that it is full of living, breathing characters who seem as real as you and me sitting and watching in the theatre, hence making it highly relatable. Satya is about gangsters, but be it Bhiku Matre, Kallu Mama or Vakil Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) August 31, 2026 The other films swagger Without naming the film or films he was referring to, Varma then contrasted Dhurandhar with what he described as a different style of filmmaking. The other films swagger. Have fog and slow motion that lasts longer than the characters inner lives. The women are not people.. they are functions arranged around the same gravitational centre so that the centre never has to become a living real person, he wrote. He also criticised what he sees as the overuse of visual style and artificial intensity, saying, In the other films, violence is just a spectacle minus context. Attitude is the plot. Style arrives first and th n searches for a reason. Varma further argued that some films prioritise the visual presentation of their stars over character development. The camera does not observe, it advertises. Editing does not cut time, it manufactures fake intensity that was never in the writing, he stated. You do not leave knowing a single thing about him as a human being Varma concluded by returning to the importance of character-driven storytelling. He compared the characters in Satya and Dhurandhar with the unnamed films he was criticising. Satyas gangsters could have existed on a real Mumbai street. Dhurandhars Lyari men feel like they have already lived for many years before the hero came there, he wrote. He then added, The other films heroes feel assembled in a look test. You leave knowing the heros hair, the heros walk, the heros catchphrase. You do not leave knowing a single thing about him as a human being. Varma ended his post by reiterating what he considers the difference between immersive filmmaking and spectacle-driven cinema: Dhurandhars director trusts the audience enough to put living people on screen and let them feel as much as the protagonist . The hero feels as much pain as the villain . One is cinema that cuts into flesh. The others are cinema that pose for the camera.

Kunal also stars in the film in the lead along with Preity Zinta. Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked about Daayra vs Vibe clash and she gave an interesting answer. She said, Kunal is an outstanding actor, one of the best that we have in our industry. No one does his comic timing like Kunal. I feel theres place in two cinemas for two great films. I know that Vibe is going to do well. Its going to be fun and comic. People are going to see a different side to Kunal. She said that if both films work, shell reap the benefits of it. Kareena Kapoor Khan remarked, Gold toh mere ghar pe hi aayega (smiles). So, I am very happy, I am very, very sure that both films are going to do very well.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Meghna Gulzar, producers Vineet Jain and Dr Jayantilal Gada and Junglee Pictures CEO Amrita Pandey attended the trailer launch of Daayra at a multiplex in Mumbai. Prithviraj Sukumaran entertained the audience as he narrated how he came on board Daayra. Prithviraj Sukumaran began by saying, I was offered Daayra when I had said yes to a very big film in South India S S Rajamoulis Varanasi. Hence, I knew that in the months ahead, I wont have time to do anything else other than the films I was doing in Malayalam cinema and Varanasi. But when Meghna Gulzar asks for a meeting, I presume any actor in this country would definitely meet her! Hence, I met her and prepared myself to very politely decline her offer. Prithviraj continued, She narrates the film very, very well. I heard her narration and told myself, Oh, damn! I cant say no to this. Then, I asked her, Who is playing Ajuni?. She replied, I am hoping that Kareena would play that role. I told myself, Now, I have to say yes to this film (smiles). Thats how I came on board and I am so happy that I did this film. Prithviraj Sukumaran raised laughs as he stated, Meghna Gulzar is one of the nicest human beings I have met and one of the toughest filmmakers I worked with! I have had many arguments with her. But the thing with Meghna is that she never fails to answer a why. And I ask a lot of whys! Every time she asks me to do something in a particular way, Ill ask her, Why do you want me to do it that way?. And then she would have this really specific answer with such clarity that I would walk back and think, I am also a filmmaker. I should also be similarly equipped! Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Meghna Gulzar, producers Vineet Jain and Dr Jayantilal Gada and Junglee Pictures CEO Amrita Pandey attended the trailer launch of Daayra at a multiplex in Mumbai. Several female actresses have played the role of police officers in the recent past, but Kareena Kapoor Khan assured that her portrayal of a cop stands out. Kareena Kapoor Khan explained, My character in Daayra is very sure and sensitive. I wont say shes assertive as such. She knows what shes doing, particularly when it comes to this situation that theyre handling in the film. So, shes not a typical butch cop. Shes a pretty cop also. Meghna Gulzar added, Shes a cop who wears lipstick. Because women like wearing lipstick! Kareena Kapoor Khan added, Just because youre a cop, you dont have to be a particular way. We have kept her feminine slightly because as women, we have to own who we are and we are proud of who we are also. So, regardless of whether or not youre a cop or whether youre wearing a trouser, it doesnt mean that you have to become the ab-main-mukka-maarne waali hoon type of a person! Kareena Kapoor Khan remarked, The way Meghna has written Ajuni has given me more darja in my life. I feel that, as a mother, as an actor. It has stayed with me. I also feel that ever since Ive become a mother, Ive also become a better actor. I dont know why (laughs). Daayra releases in cinemas on September 18.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, director Meghna Gulzar, producers Vineet Jain and Dr Jayantilal Gada and Junglee Pictures CEO Amrita Pandey attended the trailer launch of Daayra at a multiplex in Mumbai. The film deals with violence by a minor against another minor. Prithviraj Sukumaran was asked what he feels about it as a father. Prithviraj Sukumaran said, We are not worried just as parents. I am worried as a husband, as a friend to someone, as a responsible citizen of this country and yes, as a father as well. Unfortunately, as citizens, what can we do other than get worried and be hopeful? Yes, the film speaks about a very ugly truth within which society today exists, and we are all part of that society. Prithviraj added, I have an 11-year-old daughter. I am at that uncomfortable stage as a parent where now I have to start talking to her and letting her know about what is safe and what is unsafe. If we were to live in an ideal world, we would never have that conversation. But we do not live in an ideal world. But what can we do as citizens other than talking to our children? He continued, Make no mistake, the conversation should not just be with your girl children. It should be equally and vociferously with boys as well. I strongly feel that if theres an extra ounce of responsibility on any side, it is with us, the men. We are the ones who should carry the torch to make sure that this conversation is spoken about. Daayra is about two characters on opposite sides. On this, he opined, You really cant take a side. The side is just that of justice. We are having this conversation because theres a problem with the deliverance of justice. We are living in a system where the deliverance of justice is so cumbersome, so slow and so drawn out that it is humanly understandable that we sometimes lose hope in it. That needs to be addressed. In terms of justice, there are no two sides to it. He exulted, I just hope for a day and time when the deliverance of justice is faster, more coherent and does not come with years and years of waiting for it to arrive.
