The song brings together Aarushi Bajaj, Ansh Duggal, Bianca Arora and Piyush Khati with Alia in a college setting, capturing the films themes of friendship, spontaneity and growing up. Presented by T-Series, Re Bawri has been composed and produced by Ram Sampath, with lyrics by Saveri Verma and vocals by Sona Mohapatra. The upbeat track revolves around the idea of letting go of overthinking and embracing the unpredictable moments that come with youth, friendships and relationships. The accompanying music video features Alia Bhatt alongside the lead cast. Set in a college environment, the video begins with what appears to be a regular day before turning into an impromptu dance sequence. The track uses the setting to highlight the camaraderie between the characters and the youthful tone of the film. Sona Mohapatra said, Re Bawri has that infectious, carefree quality that makes it impossible to sit still. Its playful and energetic and celebrates those moments when youre with your friends with music in the background and nothing else really matters. Seeing Alia and the cast bring that energy to the music video was such a joy to watch, and I think they capture the spirit of the song beautifully. I had a lot of fun bringing that spirit into the song, and I hope it makes listeners want to get up, dance, and be a little bawri themselves. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sony Music India (@sonymusicindia) Dont Be Shy follows Shyamili Shy Das, a 20-year-old who believes she has her life planned out until an unexpected turn of events disrupts her plans.

Drishyam: The Conclusion first song Vingansa sets a dark, revenge-fuelled tone ahead of the films release

The makers of Drishyam: The Conclusion have released the first song from the soundtrack, titled Vingansa, offering a musical preview of the tension and retribution at the core of Vijay Salgaonkars story. Arriving after a gripping trailer that reintroduced Ajay Devgn as Vijay and brought in Jaideep Ahlawat as SP Crime Branch Rajveer Singh Tomar, the song underscores the mounting pressure around Vijays long-guarded secret. The title Vingansa draws from the Portuguese word vingana, meaning revenge, and the composition leans into that emotion with a dark, brooding soundscape. The track is built around themes of anger and confrontation, suggesting a world where old wounds remain raw and vengeance now runs parallel to the pursuit of truth. Composer Ravi Basrur said, With 'Vingansa', I wanted the music to feel like the pressure was slowly building. There is a lot happening beneath the surface in Vijay's world, and the music needed to carry that without becoming too loud or obvious. Siddharth's voice has that rawness and intensity which worked beautifully for the song. Aamil's words also gave me a strong emotional space to build the composition around. Lyricist Aamil Keeyan Khan said, This composition by Ravi Basrur ji was so catchy and yet so peculiar that it demanded an equally peculiar word. 'Vingansa' is a Goan word that comes from the Portuguese word for revenge or vengeance. Revenge in this story is not simply about anger; it comes from everything these characters have done and carried with them for years. I wanted the lyrics to have that weight. The song had to feel like it belonged to the world of Drishyam, where every action has an equally terrifying reaction. Singer Siddharth Basrur said, When I heard the composition, I immediately felt that this song needed a certain rawness. It couldn't sound too perfect or too controlled. There is a lot of aggression and emotion underneath 'Vingansa', and I tried to keep that feeling alive in the vocals. Ravi's music already had so much intensity that my job was really to get inside that emotion and let the voice carry it. With 'Vingansa', the franchise gives audiences its first musical window into the concluding chapter, where every secret carries a cost and every decision could tip the balance. The film is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on October 2, 2026. Drishyam: The Conclusion is presented by Star Studio18 and directed by Abhishek Pathak. Produced by Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, with Sanjeev Joshi as co-producer, the ensemble features Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav and Kamlesh Sawant. The song is available now across streaming platforms via Sony Music India.

Richie Mehtas Phoolan receives standing ovation at Toronto International Film Festival world premiere

Amazon MGM Studios Phoolan, written and directed by International Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Richie Mehta, received a standing ovation following its World Premiere at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 17. The Hindi action drama was screened in the festivals Special Presentation section at the Princess of Wales Theatre before an audience of more than 2,000. Starring Sneha Kumari in the titular role, the film features Anurag Thakur, Vikram Pratap Singh, Aakash Dahiya, Prateek Pachouri and Dev Dutt Budholiya in pivotal roles. The film focuses on a defining period in the life of Phoolan Devi, with its story centred on a 48-hour siege involving an armed group of 2,000 men. Phoolan is based on Phoolan Devis autobiography, I, Phoolan Devi: The Autobiography of India's Bandit Queen, published by Editions Robert Laffont. Rather than covering her entire life, the film focuses on a specific chapter, exploring the experiences that shaped her before she became a widely known figure. Speaking about the World Premiere, writer-director and producer Richie Mehta said, Phoolan Devi's story is one that demands to be told with honesty, and without compromise. I was drawn to a very specific chapter of Phoolan's life, the formative years before the world knew her name, contrasted with the period where she was a misunderstood legend. It felt essential to me to strip away the mythology and reveal the human underneath. The themes at the heart of her story resilience in the face of adversity, the search for dignity, and the courage to claim one's own voice are timeless. They resonate just as strongly today as they did then, across cultures and geographies. That is why this felt like the right moment to bring her story to the screen. From Poacher to Phoolan, Amazon MGM Studios has been a true creative collaborator, one that backs a filmmaker's vision and gives stories like these the global canvas they deserve. To witness the audience at TIFF rise to their feet, visibly moved, tells me that Phoolan's story has connected in exactly the way we hoped it would. I hope I have done justice to her voice and her story, the way she wanted the world to know. Shilangi Mukherji, Director & Head of SVOD Business, Prime Video, India, said, Our relationship with Richie Mehta goes back to Poacher, a fiercely personal project that became one of our most critically acclaimed Indian Originals. What defines Richie is his unwavering commitment to truth. He doesn't sensationalize; he tells stories with a quiet, unflinching honesty that stays with you long after the credits roll. With Phoolan, backing his vision was instinctive. At Amazon MGM Studios, we believe in the conviction of our filmmakers and their creative freedom to tell stories honestly and Richie exemplifies exactly that. Phoolan is one of those stories carrying a universal theme that transcends borders and languages. We are excited for audiences to experience this film in an authentic way. Shareen Mantri, Producer, Namah Pictures, said, Phoolan is an incredibly special film for all of us at Namah Pictures, and seeing it premiere at TIFF is both emotional and a moment of immense pride. This is a story that has lived in our hearts for a long time, a story of courage and the strength of the human spirit. Richie Mehta has brought such honesty and sensitivity to every frame, and Sneha Kumari has delivered a truly remarkable performance as Phoolan that I believe will resonate deeply with audiences, said Shareen Mantri, Producer, Namah Pictures. What makes this collaboration special is how each partner brings something distinct to the table. Namah Pictures' deep connection to Indian stories, Richie Mehta's nuanced and sensitive filmmaking, and Amazon MGM Studios' ability to bring meaningful cinema to a global stage, together, creates the right home for a story like Phoolan's. Watching people at TIFF connect with her story reminded me why we made this film. There are stories that belong not just to one person, but to all of humanity. Phoolan's life, defined by courage, dignity, and an unbreakable will to survive, is one such story. It is this universality that drives us to carry her narrative forward, using her story as a guiding light for storytelling that truly matters. The premiere was attended by the films cast and creative team, including Sneha Kumari, Anurag Thakur, Aakash Dahiya and Vikram Pratap Singh. Richie Mehta was joined at the event by producers Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kanwal Kohli and Kishor Arora of Namah Pictures, along with Shilangi Mukherji representing Prime Video, India. Produced by Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, Kanwal Kohli and Richie Mehta, Phoolan is a Namah Pictures production. Following its TIFF premiere, the film is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide at a later date.

EXCLUSIVE: Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub opens up on Hunkkaar: The Roar; says, What stayed with me was the vulnerability of an underdog standing up to power

For Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, the writing of Hunkkaar: The Roar offered a fresh lens on a sensitive subject, shifting focus from surface-level narratives of abuse to deeper questions of accountability and systemic power. The actor was particularly drawn to the shows insistence that responsibility must rest with the perpetrator, while also interrogating the structures that enable such figures. Zeeshan plays a dedicated lawyer who finds himself pitted against a formidable spiritual leader, a dynamic that added layers to his interest in the role. What set the character apart for him was the vulnerability underpinning the fighta man with limitations who still dares to dream bigger than his stature and confront a mighty force. There is an underdog, but there is also vulnerability. There are quite a few stories that have an underdog, but the vulnerability within it. Someone who, despite being up against a very powerful force, dreams of something much bigger than their own stature and stands up to fight for it. I think that is something that made me excited, Zeeshan said. Set in a world shaped by power, faith and influence, Hunkkaar: The Roar follows 17-year-old Meenu Rawat (Aneet Padda), who accuses renowned spiritual figure Sunil Baapji Chakosi (Raghubir Yadav) of sexual assault. As the allegation triggers public scrutiny, the series traces the ripple effects across police investigations, courtroom battles and media trials. ACP Jasleen Singh Soni (Fatima Sana Shaikh) leads the probe, supported by Zeeshans lawyer, while Ram Kapoor appears as the godmans defence counsel, and Arjun Mathur plays a reporter dissecting the high-stakes narrative. Directed by Karan D. Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia, the show is produced by Applause Entertainment and Birla Studios, in association with Priyanka Chopra Jonass Purple Pebble Pictures and Mangata Films. Blending socio-legal crime thriller elements with courtroom drama, Hunkkaar: The Roar examines how law enforcement, judicial processes and media coverage intersect in cases involving influential figures. The series is scheduled to premiere exclusively on JioHotstar on September 25, 2026. Also Read: Fatima Sana Shaikh opens up on microaggressions and patriarchy in Bollywood: We have to fight it

Kalki Koechlin curates Max Fashions Festive 2026 line: Art, craft and purpose take centre stage

This festive season, actor Kalki Koechlin steps into the role of curator for Max Fashion, helming a new collection that merges original artwork, traditional hand-block printing and contemporary silhouettes. The launch marks the debut edition of MAX PROJECT NEW, the retailers purpose-led platform that seeks to push creativity beyond the design studio and into everyday wear. A key pillar of the collection is its collaboration with the Kairassi Foundation, Chennai, a design-inclusive organisation that empowers specially-abled artists. Max Fashion worked with three artistsSimron, Pavithra and Manastranslating their original paintings directly onto garments and accessories. Simrons watercolour landscapes lend a dreamlike quality to skirts, while Pavithras fluid, ocean-inspired blues feature across shirts. Manas, the youngest of the trio, creates his work using a straw instead of a brush, resulting in a spontaneous, playful aesthetic that now appears on a tote bag. According to the brand, these are not reinterpretations, but the artists original paintings moved from canvas to fabric. Parallel to the art-led pieces, the collection also spotlights craft. Working with artisans in Sanganer, Rajasthan, Max Fashion developed an exclusive design that blends Japanese floral motifs with the regions signature hand block printing. The process involved hand-carving wooden blocks, mixing colours and printing each fabric layer one shade at a time. The outcome is a festive range where paint and pigment, contemporary expression and traditional technique coexist, underlining the stories behind what people wear. Sumit Chandna, CEO, Max Fashion, said, Fashion, for us, has always been more than what we wear, its a form of expression, a way to tell stories, and a platform that can create real impact. Kalki shared a vision with us that we instantly connected with, and together we built on it, the idea that festive dressing could carry meaning, not just style. MAX PROJECT NEW brings that belief to life, whether through an artists brushstroke or an artisans hand-carved block. And this is only the beginning. Kalki Koechlin added, Ive always wanted festive fashion to feel like its saying something, not just selling something. Whether its a tiny painted detail on a bag or a hand-carved print on a dress, you put it on and youre carrying someone elses story with you. I think that makes what you wear feel much more special. The collection is styled with an effortless, contemporary sensibility, favouring fluid silhouettes and unexpected pairings that work for festive evenings as well as everyday wardrobes. Max Fashion has indicated that MAX PROJECT NEW will continue across seasons, inviting new artists, craftspeople and creative voices into the fashion ecosystem. The campaign encapsulates this approach with the line: HOW NEW IS YOUR NEW.

Described by its makers as Indias first-ever horror music video, the project combines an atmospheric visual treatment with a narrative that draws from the horror genre. Known for her association with horror, Tia Bajpai takes on an intense and mysterious avatar in FANAA. Instead of following the conventional format of a performance-led music video, the project incorporates elements of a short-form horror narrative, with the visuals building suspense around the character and the story. Speaking about her experience of shooting the project, Tia Bajpai said, Shooting FANAA was a completely different experience for me because we were trying to create something that feels like more than just a music video. The atmosphere, the visuals and the emotions of the character required me to completely immerse myself in that world. There were moments on set that were genuinely intense, but that is also what made the experience exciting and memorable. I think audiences will connect with FANAA because beneath the horror and suspense, there is a strong emotional layer to the story. It keeps you curious, makes you feel something and hopefully stays with you even after the video ends. Arian Romals music forms an integral part of the video, creating a contrast between the soulful quality of the song and the unsettling visual world. The track brings together melody, suspense and horror while using the music-video format to tell a story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tia Bajpai (@tiabajpai) The makers have also built an element of anticipation around the viewing experience, encouraging audiences to watch FANAA till the end. The promotional messaging around the video includes a keep the lights on warning, hinting at the disturbing moments and twists incorporated into the narrative. FANAA also reflects the growing experimentation within the Indian music-video space, with artistes and creators exploring formats that extend beyond conventional romantic tracks and performance-based videos. By combining music with a horror storyline, the project attempts to give the format a more cinematic treatment. With Tia Bajpai at the centre of its visual narrative and Arian Romal providing the music, FANAA brings together two distinct elements horror and music within a single project. The video is designed to unfold progressively, keeping the narrative and its darker elements at the centre of the viewing experience.

Asim Munir-Masood Azhar 'Secret' Meeting? Pak's Terror Crackdown Drama Exposed

A secret meeting claim has shaken Pakistans story on Masood Azhar. An unnamed source says the Jaish-e-Mohammed chief met Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir for two and a half hours at a private guesthouse. There is no public confirmation yet. But the claim has arrived alongside a new bounty, a Red Book listing, and Islamabads renewed accusation that Afghanistan is sheltering Azhar. The Taliban denies that allegation. India sees a familiar pattern: when global pressure rises, Pakistan announces action against terrorists while refusing to explain how their networks operate openly on its soil. FATF scrutiny is now back in focus. This report tracks the facts, the gaps, and the questions surrounding the alleged Munir-Azhar meeting, the 70-lakh reward, Operation Sindoor, and the Jaish infrastructure in Bahawalpur. Is Pakistan dismantling terror networks, or simply changing the story? The answer will shape Indias security calculations and Pakistans credibility with the world again.
