The season of love and heartbreak is here with Ishq Ka Ghulaam song from Prem Keetanu. This new number intends to showcase the bittersweet side of love, the one that comes with vulnerability, void and pain. Bringing Ishq Ka Ghulaam to life are celebrated singers B Praak and Sukriti Kakar, with music composed by The Rish and lyrics penned by Kunaal Vermaa. Speaking about the song, B Praak said, It feels surreal to be a part of Prem Keetanu through Ishq Ka Ghulaam song, and bring the feeling of love a full circle through heartbreak, followed by the grief that comes with it. Ishq Ka Ghulaam will make you feel the pain of heartbreak over and over again with the intention to rekindle the feeling of hope and love all over again. Ishq Ka Ghulaam captures the void that love often leaves back, along with memories that refuse to fade away. The song is out on Zee Music Companys YouTube channel and all streaming platforms. The film features seven songs, bringing together well-known singers including Sachet Tandon, Parampara Tandon, B Praak, Armaan Malik, Papon, Jubin Nautiyal, Madhur Sharma, Altamash Faridi, Shashi Suman and Brijesh Shandilya. Rappers Little Bhatia and Mazemusicc also feature on the album.

The trailer of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha has been launched ahead of the films simultaneous release in cinemas across India in Hindi and Chhattisgarhi on September 25, 2026. Starring Dev Sharma as Shri Ram, Anjali Arora as Mata Sita and Rajniesh Duggall as Ravan, alongside Sheel Verma as Lakshman and Nirbhay Wadhwa as Hanuman, the film brings the journey of Lord Ram to the big screen. The trailer moves through some of the defining moments and emotions of the Ramayan, from the bond between Shri Ram and Mata Sita and the journey of vanvas to Sita Haran, Hanuman jis Bhakti and the eventual confrontation between dharm and adharm. The trailer frames this central conflict through the thought, Adharm Ke Saamne Dharm Ka Naam, Shri Ram, placing Dharma and Maryada at the heart of the films telling. At the heart of the film is what the makers describe as its Katha Bhav, the emotional and devotional quality with which the Ramayan has been heard, watched and experienced within families over generations. The films larger thought has similarly viewed Shri Ram through Maryada, Mata Sita through Sankalp, Hanuman ji through Bhakti and Lakshman through Kartavya. While recent big-screen interpretations have often been defined by scale and spectacle, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha takes a more intimate route, drawing its strength from the katha, its music and its emotional core. Director Abhishek Singh said, Every filmmaker will have a different way of approaching the Ramayan. For us, the first question was what feeling we wanted the audience to carry with them. We kept returning to the Katha Bhav, the Prem between Shri Ram and Mata Sita, Hanuman jis Bhakti, Lakshmans Kartavya and the Maryada with which Shri Ram faces every circumstance. That bhav had to remain at the centre of our telling. For producers Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela, the decision to make the film also came from a deeply personal connection with the katha. They said, The Ramayan has travelled from one generation to another in so many ways, through kathas, bhajans, families sitting together and through the screen. What stays with us is not only the events, but the bhav with which we receive them. We were not setting out to make the biggest or most expensive interpretation. We wanted to make the film with shraddha and create an experience that families across generations could watch together. Dev Sharma, who plays Lord Ram, said, For me, Shri Rams strength lies not only in what he can do, but in the restraint, compassion, duty and Maryada with which he makes every choice. That became the starting point for me. There is a different responsibility when you portray someone who is not merely a character for people, but someone they revere. Even saying Jai Shri Ram creates an aura around you that, in itself, reminds you to stay on the right path. Anjali Arora, who makes her feature-film debut as Mata Sita, said, What stayed closest to my heart about Mata Sita was her unwavering resolve. There is immense grace and gentleness within her, but behind that gentleness lies an extraordinary inner strength. Even through the most difficult circumstances and periods of separation, she never let go of her dignity, her faith or her values. For me, the most important part of portraying her was to bring that inner strength and dignity into my performance with complete sensitivity. Rajniesh Duggall, who plays Ravan, said, Ravan possessed immense knowledge, power and stature, but ultimately his aham became greater than his wisdom. Raavan had ten heads, but it was the one called I that destroyed him. We all have a Ravan within us. We just need to make sure we dont feed him. That, for me, is also what makes the conflict between Dharma and Adharma so deeply relevant even today. Among the notable voices associated with the films music are Kailash Kher, Javed Ali, Farhad Bhiwandiwala, Anurag Sharma and Sunil Soni across its Hindi and Chhattisgarhi songs, with Shaan also lending his voice to an upcoming song. The films connection with Chhattisgarh extends beyond language. Parts of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha were filmed at real locations across the state, allowing the natural terrain to become part of the world of the katha. Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha is directed by Abhishek Singh, produced by Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela, co-produced by Honey Kuldeep Agarwal and Monika Sen, and presented by Ajay Kanojia of AJ Film Entertainment World. The film is a Mahobiya Films Production. Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha releases simultaneously in cinemas across India in Hindi and Chhattisgarhi on September 25, 2026.

Ali Zafar has spoken against the body-shaming faced by his Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-star Katrina Kaif following her recent public appearance. The Pakistani actor-singer addressed social media comments about Katrinas post-pregnancy appearance and urged people, particularly men, to reconsider the beauty standards they place on women. In a video circulating online, Ali said he had come across posts comparing Katrinas appearance before and after pregnancy. He noted that he has spoken against such trolling in the past as well, including when Pakistani actors such as Mahira Khan faced similar comments. Speaking about the issue, Ali said, We all need to look within ourselves. Especially as a man, if I am speaking about this, I think it is very important for us to look within ourselves and make the necessary corrections. We have all made mistakes in life; no one is perfect. But it is important to recognise those mistakes and correct them. But if we talk man to man, the privilege we assume comes with being a man, and the way we perceive a woman, her body, the way she thinks and the way she lives if she does not fit the standards that we have created, we immediately put that woman down. Ali also spoke about the unrealistic expectations surrounding physical appearance for both women and men. He said, This is wrong; this is not the right way to look at things. Every person is going through their own struggles, and we do not know what someone else might be dealing with. So, we should be kind to people, compassionate, understanding, accepting and appreciative. If you study the renaissance, in the earlier era, concepts about womens bodies were different. Then came a time when women were expected to have a zero figure, and even towards men, the expectations about six-pack abs are not realistic. They are not healthy. Its not healthy to always criticise other people. They are all human beings and we have the potential to be nice to each other. He concluded, We all have a past. I will feel ashamed if I ever criticise someone on the basis of their looks. We all must look inside and, as men, we should correct ourselves that we shouldnt do this. Every woman has their life, what she has gone through, what her past, present or future, let her live, and you live your life. Katrina, who welcomed her son Vihaan with husband Vicky Kaushal in November last year, recently made a rare public appearance with him at Mukesh and Nita Ambanis Ganpati celebration. Following the appearance, some social media users shared her pre- and post-pregnancy pictures while commenting on her appearance. The actor had also faced similar comments after she was spotted at filmmaker Kuku Kohlis prayer meet in August. Actor Shivaleeka Oberoi had then supported Katrina on social media, writing, Kya ho gaya hai (What happened) means?! This is Motherhood! Ali made his Bollywood debut with Tere Bin Laden in 2010 and later appeared in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, London, Paris, New York and Chashme Baddoor. He also contributed songs to Hindi films, including Ullu Da Pattha, Madhubala and Nahi Re Nahi. His Bollywood career was later affected by tensions in India-Pakistan relations. Following the 2016 Uri attack, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena called for a ban on Pakistani artistes working in India.

Singer-composer Vishal Mishra is bringing the cultural and devotional traditions of Bihars Chhath festival to mainstream Hindi cinema with Chhathi Maiya, the latest song from Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest. The song brings the festival to the big screen, with Tamannaah performing Chhath rituals alongside Sidharth. For Vishal Mishra, Chhathi Maiya holds significance beyond being another addition to a film soundtrack. The song gives him an opportunity to introduce the faith, traditions and cultural identity associated with Chhath to a wider audience through mainstream Bollywood cinema. Vishal has sung and composed the track, while the lyrics have been penned by Kaushal Kishore. The collaboration also marks a reunion between the two artistes, who previously worked together on the 2021 devotional song Chhathi Maiya Bulaye. The song went on to garner over 16 million views on YouTube, making their collaboration on the new track a continuation of their association with music rooted in Bhojpuri culture. Speaking about the cultural relevance of Chhathi Maiya, Vishal highlighted his personal connection with the traditions represented by the song. He has described Bhojpuri as more than just a language, calling it a reflection of the soil, folk traditions and cultural identity of Bihar and Purvanchal. It is truly an honour and a blessing for me to bring the faith and sacred tradition of Chhath, deeply rooted in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, to Hindi cinema for the first time, Vishal has said, adding that his wish is for the beauty and fragrance of the culture to travel to every corner of the world. The song brings the rituals and devotional atmosphere of Chhath to the screen, with Tamannaah Bhatia seen performing the rituals alongside Sidharth Malhotra. The release has also connected with audiences who share a personal and cultural association with the festival. Chhathi Maiya thus marks a move from Vishals earlier independent devotional work into a mainstream Hindi film setting, while retaining the cultural roots at the centre of the song. Through the track, the makers have incorporated an important festival associated with Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand into the narrative and musical world of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest. Directed by Deepak Mishra, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on September 25.

Prime Video has unveiled the promo for Rise & Fall Season 2, revealing the first four celebrity contestants of the reality show. Produced by Banijay Asia and hosted by former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, the second season will feature 15 celebrities competing over 42 days as they navigate strategy, alliances and changing positions of power. The newly released promo introduces Swara Bhasker, Shehzaad Poonawalla, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Karan Patel as the first contestants entering the game. The format places participants in two contrasting spaces the privileged Rulers residing in a luxury penthouse and the Workers living in a basic basement. Their positions can change depending on the decisions and outcomes of the game. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, who has previously participated in reality television, said, Ive experienced reality television in different forms, but Rise & Fall Season 2 brings a whole new dimension to the game. The idea of going from being a Ruler to a Worker and having your position shaped by the choices you make, makes this experience especially exciting for me. Reality shows have taught me to trust my instincts, stay true to myself and play every moment as it comes, but this time, the power dynamics add an entirely different layer. Im ready to step into the game, take on whatever position comes my way and see how far I can rise. Swara Bhasker added, Ive always been someone who wears her opinions on her sleeve, so entering a game like Rise & Fall Season 2 is going to be quite an experience. The show brings together personalities with very different perspectives, and when power and strategy come into play, Im sure those differences will make for some fascinating dynamics. Im excited to see how it all unfolds. Karan Patel said, People have seen me play different characters and tell stories through television all these years, but Rise & Fall Season 2 gives me the chance to enter a completely different arena as myself. What excites me is the competitive side of it having to make a move, back your decision and keep pushing yourself when the game shifts. Im looking forward to embracing that challenge and giving this game everything Ive got. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Banijay Asia (@banijayasia) Shehzaad Poonawalla said, Every new chapter in life comes with its own set of challenges, and Rise & Fall Season 2 feels like a particularly interesting one for me in my new innings. Ive always enjoyed spaces where there is room for a strong point of view, and this game brings together people with very different perspectives and ways of looking at things. What makes it exciting is that you cant simply rely on what you say; you have to back it with your choices. Im looking forward to bringing my perspective into this new chapter and seeing where the game takes me. With Virender Sehwag as host, the format will revolve around the contestants navigating games and decisions while attempting to maintain or improve their positions within the hierarchy. As the competition progresses, alliances and power dynamics are expected to evolve, with contestants potentially moving between the Ruler and Worker spaces. Rise & Fall Season 2 will begin streaming from September 26, with new episodes dropping daily at 12:00 PM IST. The show will be available to watch for free via MX Player on Prime Video across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon Shopping App and Fire TV.

Why is Amazon trying to replace your neighbourhood WhatsApp group with Ring?
Amazon is launching Rings Neighbours service in the UK from October 21. The free service lets people join a local community without owning a Ring device. Privacy-sensitive features involving police and verified organisations will not initially be available in Britain. For many people, the neighbourhood WhatsApp group is both useful and exhausting. One minute there is a warning about a suspicious vehicle or a missing pet, and the next there are dozens of messages about bins, parking or other everyday grievances. Amazon appears to think there is room for something more focused. The companys Ring doorbell and home security camera business is bringing its Neighbours community app to the UK from October 21, allowing people to share information about safety, community matters and lost pets. The service will sit inside the existing Ring app and will be free to use, even for people who do not own a Ring product. Users will set their address and choose a local radius of between 0.1 and five miles, creating a community feed based on where they live. Dave Ward, Rings managing director for international, said the idea was partly inspired by the disappearance of the traditional village noticeboard. We used to have the village noticeboard, but as things have changed we no longer have that local connection, he reportedly said. Ward argued that WhatsApp and similar services can become too broad and overwhelming, with large groups eventually being muted because of the volume of messages. Were trying to tailor this down to just the things that really matter to your immediate community and then it becomes super useful, he reportedly said. From group chat to community feed The difference is that Ring is not simply creating another neighbourhood chat. Posts will be categorised and subject to rules banning illegal content, discrimination, speculation and other forms of inappropriate material. They will be moderated by both AI and human reviewers before and after publication. Ring also wants to make its cameras part of the community experience. One of the launch features is Search Party for Dogs, which allows someone who has lost a dog to upload an image and details. Neighbours with Ring cameras and an eligible cloud subscription can choose to participate in the search. If a participating camera detects a dog, the owner is prompted to check whether it could be the missing animal. They can then choose whether to notify the pet owner and share the footage. That makes the service rather different from a WhatsApp group. A message asking whether anyone has seen a missing dog can now potentially be connected to cameras watching the streets around the neighbourhood. But that is also where the privacy questions become harder to ignore. The features Ring is holding back Some of the more controversial features already available in the US will not launch in Britain immediately. One is Neighbours Verified, which allows organisations and services such as fire brigades to post advisory messages to local communities. More sensitive is Community Requests, which allows police to ask for Ring-camera footage from a particular area following an incident. Sharing remains voluntary and on an event-by-event basis, with police not being told who chooses not to provide footage. Ring says both features are being developed for the UK but are not expected before later this year at the earliest. The company has also recently announced a new default encryption system for camera footage called TAKE, or throw away the key encryption. Under the system, Ring has time-limited access keys for recordings, with access expiring after 24 hours. Further processing or access, including by law enforcement, requires the user to issue replacement keys through the Ring app. The move comes as Ring tries to balance the usefulness of having millions of cameras connected to a community service with concerns over who can access the footage. Amazon bought Ring in 2018 in a deal reportedly worth more than $1 billion. What began as a smart doorbell business is now being pushed into a much broader territory: the digital neighbourhood. The question for UK users is whether a dedicated community feed really solves the problems of neighbourhood WhatsApp groups or simply creates another place to check.
