Aman releases second single Tanha Main backed by Raah Records after debut track Jaadugari
Singer-songwriter Aman has released his second single, Tanha Main, following his debut track Jaadugari. Released under Raah Records, the music label of Yash Raj Films, the new song explores the feeling of missing someone during a temporary separation and the sense of incompleteness that can accompany their absence. Written and composed by Aman, Tanha Main centres on the emotions that surface when someone close is away, even if only for a short time. The song touches upon longing, the need for reassurance and the small insecurities that can emerge when a familiar presence is missing from everyday life. Rather than focusing on the end of a relationship, the track explores a more specific emotion: knowing that someone will return, but still finding it difficult to get through the time apart. Its central theme revolves around how the absence of one person can change the way ordinary moments feel. Tanha Main combines Indie Pop with Indian instrumentation Musically, the track brings together Indie Pop arrangements and traditional Indian instruments. The harmonium forms the foundation of the composition, while the tabla and dholak add rhythmic elements. The sarangi lends another layer to the arrangement, complementing the song's theme of longing. The combination gives Tanha Main an Indian musical character while retaining the melodic approach of independent pop. The instrumentation also supports the song's intimate storytelling, keeping the focus on the emotions at its centre. Aman continues his journey with Raah Records With Tanha Main, Aman follows up on the musical direction introduced through Jaadugari. The two releases mark the early stages of his journey as a singer-songwriter under Raah Records, where he continues to explore personal themes through original compositions. The latest single brings together his songwriting, composition and interest in Indian musical influences, offering another look at the sound he is developing as an independent artist.

Ramayana 3 on the cards? Namit Malhotra says makers may revisit plans after audience feedback
Could Ramayana eventually expand beyond its planned two-part format? Producer Namit Malhotra has opened up about the possibility of a third instalment of the ambitious mythological saga, revealing that the project was initially envisioned as a trilogy before the makers decided to tell the story across two films. While no decision has been taken, Malhotra indicated that audience response could influence whether the team revisits the format. Speaking to international media during the films recent Los Angeles premiere, Malhotra said the original plan involved three parts, but the creative approach subsequently changed. He also left room for the possibility of further additions once the films reach audiences. So we started out the film, we were going to make it in three (parts), then we decided to make it in two. We're still in the middle of filming, so you know, I'm not going to give any spoilers for anything - but you know, who knows the way, once we get all the response and all the feedback, we may sit back on the table and the drawing board and see if there is anything else that we want to add or subtract, depending on how the world has received it, Namit said. Malhotra also revealed that the makers currently have two versions of Ramayana: Part 1, each with a different runtime. The team is assessing audience feedback to determine whether one version can work for viewers worldwide or whether an extended cut could be considered. He went on to continue, While we say that, we also have two different versions of the same film, but two different run times on one - on part one itself. So, depending on which way the next round of feedback goes, I'd love to not have to make two different versions. I'm sure Nitesh would also prefer that, that if you could just stick to one, one version for the world. #Ramayana Part 3 So there is still a chance of 3rd Part confirm by Namit Malhotra Just look at the smile of Nitesh Tiwari #RanbirKapoor #Yash #SaiPallavi https://t.co/KwvKx7NbJt Prof DK2 (@who_are_u07) November 3, 2026 Drawing a comparison with the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings, he added, I mean, that we can also do. I think we have enough material to warrant a separate version within the same master version - we've got two different run times. So those are the kind of things that we're trying to assess, depending on how audiences really consume this. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part 1, subtitled Rise of a Legend, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Produced by Malhotras Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, the film features an original score by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. It is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026, in standard and IMAX formats.

The trailer of Pratap, starring Amit Sadh in and as Pratap and hes joined by Esha Deol, Seema Biswas, Milind Gunaji, Tigmanshu Dhulia and others, has caught attention thanks to its intriguing subject, mass appeal and impressive ensemble cast. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Pratap director Sachin Saraf opened up about the response to the film's asset, Amit Sadhs preparation for the role and a lot more. Pratap's trailer has come as a surprise. How has the feedback been? Excellent. We were hoping for a good response, but we were overwhelmed by the calls and messages. Hence, I believe that the trailer has connected with the audience. They have got a sense of the films feel and mood, and now I hope they watch it in theatres. At the trailer launch, parallels were drawn with Ab Tak Chhappan (2004). However, since Pratap is the story of an encounter specialist who goes to jail, one can't help but draw parallels with Sachin Waze. Your thoughts? Yes, after watching the trailer, many people asked me this question. Its interesting that you are also mentioning it. But frankly, Sachin Waze is not the only officer who has been jailed. Unfortunately, there are many other police officers who have gone behind bars for one reason or another. His case is still fresh in people's minds, and I believe thats why these parallels are being drawn. However, when audiences watch the film, they will realize that the story is not about one person. It's about what happens when a powerful person loses his position. That powerful person could be anyone, from any profession. Amit Sadh looks apt for the part. We see him losing his mind towards the end of the trailer. How did he prepare for the role? Its part of the narrative arc. During our research, we came across documentary footage of prisoners held in isolation in US jails. After speaking to Indian jail officers, we realized that isolation and separation from family can take a toll on even the strongest of prisoners. Amit created his own graph of mental anguish and its progression. He carefully built it up like a musical crescendo as we show time passing inside the jail. What you see in the trailer is just a glimpse of a brilliant performance by a brilliant actor. Pratap was earlier titled Main. When did the title change take place, and what was the reason behind it? Main was the original title of the script, as the story revolves around an individual and his mind games. Unfortunately, that title was registered with someone else. As a result, we changed the title and added the tagline, This time, the target is within. Pratap clashes with Soorya, starring Sunny Deol, who is incidentally related to Esha Deol. Soorya also looks like a mass-appealing film, just like Pratap. What made the producers lock this particular release date? We are all big fans of Sunny sir. In fact, I have assisted on three of his films. But this clash was not planned. We had no idea that his film was also releasing on the same date. Our team had prepared a release plan after considering the most appropriate date for our film. So, we are sticking to that plan. Sunny sir is a legend and a superstar. We cannot even imagine clashing with a legend like him. But I think both films will find their audiences, and people will love both movies.

In an era when theatrical audiences are becoming increasingly fragmented, Bollywood faces an unusual problem. A film that appeals to teenagers may not necessarily attract their parents. An action spectacle that draws young adults may struggle to bring senior citizens to cinemas. Meanwhile, family dramas that appeal to older viewers may not generate the opening-weekend excitement associated with major event films. But what happens when a film has the potential to attract all these audiences simultaneously? That is one of the most interesting possibilities surrounding Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One. With Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film combines a familiar cultural narrative with the promise of large-scale theatrical spectacle. It could become one of those rare cinematic events where grandparents, parents and children all want to watch the same film. And if that happens, the commercial implications could be enormous. Bollywood's forgotten audience: The entire family Over the years, the economics of Hindi cinema have increasingly revolved around opening-weekend collections, premium ticket prices and the ability to attract younger moviegoers. Action entertainers and star-driven spectacles often generate enormous initial demand, particularly among audiences who prefer to watch major releases during the first few days. But family audiences behave differently. A family outing requires coordination. Parents must consider children's schedules, senior citizens' comfort, show timings, travel arrangements and ticket affordability. Such audiences may not necessarily rush to the first available show. Instead, they could contribute to collections over a longer period, particularly during holidays and weekends. This is where Ramayana could possess an unusual advantage. The familiarity of the story means that multiple generations may have their own reasons to watch it. Grandparents may be emotionally connected to the epic. Parents may remember earlier adaptations. Younger viewers may be attracted by the stars, visual effects and cinematic scale. The film could therefore create a shared motivation for a family outing. The Diwali advantage The release timing adds another interesting dimension. Ramayana is scheduled to arrive just before the Diwali holiday period, when families traditionally spend more time together. This creates an opportunity for the film to attract viewers who may not ordinarily visit cinemas frequently. A major theatrical release during a festive period can become part of a larger family outing, particularly when the subject is familiar across generations. However, the timing also creates challenges. Pre-Diwali days can be affected by shopping, travel, household preparations and other commitments. Consequently, the film's opening-day collections may not fully reflect its eventual family-audience potential. A stronger indication could emerge during the holiday period, when viewers have greater flexibility to attend cinemas together. This makes the film's performance beyond the opening weekend particularly interesting. The 3,170 ticket-price problem There is, however, a significant obstacle to the family-blockbuster theory. Ticket affordability. Premium-format ticket prices for Ramayana have attracted considerable attention, with some high-end seats reportedly priced above 3,000. For an individual enthusiast, paying a premium to experience a major spectacle may be an acceptable indulgence. For a family of four or five, the economics are very different. Four tickets priced at 3,170 would cost 12,680 before food, beverages, parking or transportation. Even tickets priced at 500 each would amount to 2,000 for a family of four. The difference is substantial. This raises a crucial question. Could aggressive premium pricing maximise revenue from affluent audiences while discouraging the larger family groups that might otherwise contribute to sustained collections? The answer will depend on the availability of reasonably priced shows, the balance between premium and standard screens, and the film's appeal across different cities. A genuine family blockbuster cannot depend exclusively on expensive premium formats. It needs broad accessibility. Why footfalls could matter more than gross collections One of the most important distinctions in box-office analysis is the difference between revenue and attendance. A film can generate substantial collections through high ticket prices without necessarily attracting a record number of viewers. For Ramayana, footfalls could be an especially revealing measure of success. If the film draws large family groups across multiplexes and single-screen cinemas, it could demonstrate a breadth of appeal that is not always visible in opening-day revenue figures. Consider two hypothetical scenarios. It is possible for a film to achieve extraordinary revenue without achieving equally extraordinary audience penetration. Can Ramayana revive repeat viewing? Another intriguing possibility is repeat attendance. Traditionally, some of Indian cinema's biggest hits benefited from audiences returning to cinemas multiple times. Today, the abundance of entertainment options and the relatively short gap between theatrical and digital releases have changed viewing habits. However, major cinematic spectacles can still generate repeat attendance when audiences feel that the experience is worth revisiting. Ramayana could potentially benefit from this behaviour. Repeat viewing will ultimately depend on the quality of the film and the strength of word of mouth. The importance of emotional accessibility For Ramayana to become a genuinely multi-generational event, it must deliver more than spectacular visuals. The storytelling needs to be accessible to children without feeling simplistic to adults. The emotional conflicts must engage older viewers without appearing excessively slow to younger audiences. The action sequences must be exciting, while the character relationships must provide sufficient emotional depth. This is a difficult balance. A film that satisfies only the expectations of spectacle-seeking viewers may struggle to attract older audiences. Conversely, a treatment that feels too traditional may not generate the enthusiasm needed to sustain premium-format demand. The ideal outcome would be a film that allows different generations to connect with different aspects of the same story. The opportunity beyond the metros The family-audience opportunity also extends beyond Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and other major metropolitan markets. In smaller cities and towns, the Ramayana enjoys widespread cultural recognition, and the film could attract audiences who do not regularly watch expensive large-scale theatrical productions. A strong performance in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets would provide important evidence that the film's appeal extends beyond premium urban audiences. Could Ramayana become one of Indian cinema's defining multi-generational theatrical events? The opportunity certainly exists. The story possesses extraordinary familiarity. The casting combines major stars from different industries. The visual ambition could attract younger audiences, while the emotional and cultural significance of the epic may appeal to families and older viewers. But the ultimate outcome will depend on two factors: whether the film delivers a satisfying experience and whether audiences can afford to watch it together. After years of increasingly fragmented theatrical audiences, Ramayana has the opportunity to remind Bollywood of something it once understood exceptionally well. Sometimes, the biggest blockbuster is not the film that attracts the loudest opening-day crowd. It is the film that gives an entire family a reason to return to the cinema together.

Ayushmann Khurrana has built his filmography around stories that often step away from conventional Bollywood templates while retaining their mainstream appeal. From making his debut with Vicky Donor to starring in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Andhadhun and Dream Girl, the actor has explored different genres and subjects. With Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa adding to his upcoming slate, Ayushmann says he intends to continue backing stories that offer audiences something different. Speaking about his approach to choosing projects, the actor emphasised that experimentation has remained central to his journey. I have always believed in walking the road less travelled. Whether it is from Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dream Girl, Andhadhun to Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya or Mupapa, my choices continue to reflect that and I want to keep exploring stories that are content-forward and break away from the expected. It is the audience's trust in my choices that gives me the confidence to take risks and the freedom to experiment, challenge myself and move between genres. Ayushmanns filmography has included social comedies, romantic dramas and dark thrillers, allowing him to move between different storytelling spaces rather than remain associated with a single genre. At a time when franchises, large-scale spectacles and familiar formulas continue to occupy a significant space in the industry, the actor believes there is still room for films that take a different approach. He also spoke about the importance of balancing unusual premises with entertainment, adding that audience acceptance ultimately encourages him to keep experimenting. As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of films that offer them something new while keeping entertainment at the heart of it. The love Udta Teer continues to receive is humbling, and it only tells me that audiences are always ready for something different. They will embrace a fresh perspective, an unusual premise or a new way of storytelling, as long as it entertains and connects with them. I'm thankful to every director, writer and team that has trusted me with these stories, and to the audience for showing that unconventional stories can find a place in mainstream entertainment, he added. With Udta Teer receiving attention and Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa representing different facets of his upcoming work, Ayushmann continues to explore varied narratives. His latest comments underline his intention to keep choosing projects that combine distinctive storytelling with theatrical entertainment.

The birthday of Shah Rukh Khan on November 2 saw wishes pour in from colleagues and friends across the film industry. Among the messages that caught fans attention was Kareena Kapoor Khans birthday post for the superstar, which has fuelled speculation about her possible appearance in his upcoming action thriller, KING. Taking to Instagram, Kareena shared a silhouette photograph featuring herself alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Accompanying the picture was a birthday message that read, Happy Birthday King The forever Ruler of the kingdom. She followed it with another line that particularly caught the attention of fans: Let's dance together... Can't wait. 24-12-26. The reference to December 24, 2026, is significant as it is the scheduled worldwide theatrical release date of KING. Kareenas message has prompted speculation that she could be part of a special dance number in the film. However, the makers have not officially announced her involvement or shared details about the reported track. The post also drew reactions from members of the film fraternity. Kareenas sister, Karisma Kapoor, responded with, Cant waitttt. Gauri Khan, who is producing KING, added to the excitement with her comment, Its going to be insane. Her response further fuelled curiosity around the possibility of Kareena and Shah Rukh sharing screen space again. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) The two actors have previously worked together in films such as Asoka (2001), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001) and Ra.One (2011). Their on-screen pairing has remained familiar to audiences, making the prospect of another collaboration an interesting talking point among fans. Directed by Siddharth Anand, KING is jointly produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. Shah Rukh Khan plays the titular role, with the cast also featuring Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan as the primary antagonist and Deepika Padukone in an extended appearance. Jaideep Ahlawat and Raghav Juyal are also part of the ensemble. The action thriller is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on December 24, 2026. While Kareenas Instagram post has added to the anticipation surrounding the film, an official confirmation of her reported dance collaboration is awaited.

Less than a week is left for the release of Ramayana, and the trade and industry are eagerly waiting to see whether the film will live up to the gigantic expectations. Though touted as a Diwali release, the film arrives in cinemas on November 5, four days before the festival. Over the years, filmmakers have preferred to release their films either on Diwali or a day later, as the post-Diwali holiday is considered one of the most lucrative days at the box office. Interestingly, for Ramayana, this all-important day will fall on its fifth day of release. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh explained, This is a time when a lot of people are busy with festivities, ghar ki safaai, shopping, etc. Hence, theres a perception in the industry that this is a time when people dont go to watch movies. However, I believe that theres a strong section of moviegoers that would go and watch a film like Ramayana. It is so beautifully timed and is the most appropriate release for this season. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, opined, Theres a pre-Diwali effect as people are busy with the festivities. The makers could have released the film on November 7 or November 8, closer to Diwali. Thats because the day after Diwali is the biggest at the box office. But probably the makers are confident of the product and of the opening that it would take. Advances are good to great so far. If it manages to sell 6 lakh tickets before release at the highest possible ATP, then you are easily looking at a Rs. 100 crore plus day. He also said the decision has been a godsend for exhibitors like him, Ramayana is now releasing 4 days before Diwali. Had it come on November 9 instead of November 5, I may have had to shut shop until Ramayanas release, as the holdover releases are now coming to the end of their run. Thanks to Ramayana, Ill be making money even before the festival. So, exhibitors are happy. Meanwhile, the producers get an extended festive first week. Its a win-win situation from that perspective. He added, Normally films are released on Diwali or a day after. Hence, its a gutsy move on the part of the producers. Trade analyst Atul Mohan clarified, I wont call this pre-Diwali. The film is releasing in the Diwali week. Diwali falls on Sunday while the film releases 4 days before, on Thursday. He continued, Ramayana is such a topic that every parent would want their child to watch it. We all know what the story is. But now, with the advent of technology, makers can make it visually appealing. This advantage was not there. Yet, the makers of the TV show Ramayan did a commendable job. Now, VFX makes things easier in making visually appealing cinema. Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest stars. These factors have gone in favour of the film. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal agreed, In the earlier versions of Ramayan, popular actors didnt play the lead roles. But in this film, we have Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, who are immensely popular, being cast as Lord Rama and Ravana. Meanwhile, who can be better for the role of Lord Hanuman than Sunny Deol? This will be a major advantage for the film and will also entice those who may not be followers of the epic, Ramayana, or those belonging to other religions. However, he admitted, The labour class and families are busy with the celebrations. That keeps them away from cinemas on Diwali and before. The same effect is also seen during Ramzan.
