Backed by Superstar Mahesh Babu’s GMB Entertainment, Rao Bahadur arrived in cinemas on July 3, 2026, as one of the year’s most celebrated cinematic creations. Headlined by the immensely talented Satya Dev and directed by Venkatesh Maha, the psychological thriller won widespread acclaim from critics, cinephiles, and industry stalwarts during its theatrical run.

Venkatesh Maha, who handles writing, direction, and editing, shapes a story that is deeply rooted in local sensibilities while carrying universal emotional and psychological resonance.

The film is supported by a strong technical team, with Kartik Parmar handling the cinematography, Smaran Sai composing the evocative musical score, and Rohan Singh crafting the film’s distinctive production design. With its blend of regal imagery, sharp social commentary, and cryptic undertones, Rao Bahadur invites viewers into a world where every detail holds a deeper meaning.

Mumbai, July 31, 2026 : Every neighbourhood has that family—the ones dropping in uninvited, borrowing sugar, cheering louder for your wins than you do, and knowing your updates before you do. Now, imagine five of these families living side-by-side and the utter chaos that ensues. Chumbak brings back the nostalgic charm of connected communities, where front doors remained unlocked and neighbours never needed an appointment. Get ready to welcome Netflix’s newest family!

Premiering August 28, Chumbak is a feel-good multi-generational comedy set in a contemporary urban Indian neighbourhood where no celebration is too small, no crisis ever stays private and everyday comes with a healthy dose of hungaamaa. Featuring an ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Deven Bhojani, Arjun Bijlani, Helly Shah, Manasi Parekh, Sumeet Vyas, Sandeepa Dhar, Sumeet Raghavan, Anant V. Joshi, Amyra Dastur, Delnaaz Irani and Atul Kumar, Chumbak promises unforgettable characters be it the unofficial problem solvers, enthusiastic advice-givers, accidental troublemakers and lovable gossip connoisseurs who turn the smallest everyday moments into the biggest affairs.

From writer-director and co-producer Aatish Kapadia and producer, showrunner JD Majethia — the creative duo behind India’s most-loved cult-classics, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi — Chumbak brings back the warmth, wit and razor-sharp observations that have made their storytelling a favourite across generations, while introducing audiences to this vibrant community that functions as an extended family.

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India said , “Chumbak is our latest offering in the comedy genre – a genre our members enjoy on Netflix. In our lives today, our neighbours become our extended family and JD & Aatish have created a world to bring this community, its bonds, its oddities, and its dynamics to life! We hope the world of Chumbak and its magnetic characters will feel familiar and lived in as they go through their life grappling with themes like contemporary marriages, modern day parenting, ageing friends and life as a community. The flavour and comedic style of JD & Aatish’s work always brings the family together because it feels instantly familiar, deeply entertaining and full of heart. Their ability to find humour in the ordinary without ever losing the emotional core is what makes their storytelling so special. As we continue to build a slate that spans genres and formats, we’re excited to bring a comedy like Chumbak to audiences in India and around the world.”

Producer and Showrunner JD Majethia and Writer, Director, and Co-Producer Aatish Kapadia said , “With Chumbak, we wanted to celebrate something we’ve all experienced but perhaps don’t appreciate enough anymore – the beautiful chaos of nostalgic neighbourhoods where no one needs an invitation to drop by, and neighbours slowly become family. Comedy has always been our way of telling stories about people and relationships, and with Netflix, we found the perfect partner to bring our signature style of family comedy to audiences across the country and around the world. Chumbak is the kind of show that will bring families together, creating moments of shared laughter across generations, and that’s what makes this collaboration with Netflix so special. We hope viewers laugh with these characters, revel in their chaos, and leave with a smile after every episode.”

At its heart, Chumbak is about the people who show up – often uninvited, occasionally unhelpful but always with lots of love. This series reminds us that family isn’t always the one you are born into; sometimes it’s the one living right next door.

This August 28, clear a little space on your couch. The Chumbak family is moving in — and trust us, they’re the kind of neighbours you’ll never want to get rid of.

CHENNAI, India—July 31, 2026—Prime Video, India’s premier entertainment destination, today released the intriguing trailer for Vadhandhi Season Two—The Mystery of Mani, the much-awaited next installment of its acclaimed Tamil Original series. Created, written, and directed by Andrew Louis and produced under the banner of Wallwatcher Films by Pushkar and Gayatri as creative producers, the eight-part series stars M. Sasikumar in the lead as SI Moosa Raza, alongside Yashwanth, Anagha Maruthora, Aparna Das, Vivek Prasanna, Revathy Sharma, and Arjun Nandhakumar in pivotal roles. Vadhandhi Season Two—The Mystery of Mani is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on August 7 in Tamil, with dubbed versions in Telugu and Hindi, and subtitles in 15 languages including English, across India and in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The trailer draws audiences into a tense new investigation, with every step towards solving the case uncovering an even darker mystery. Set against the culturally rich backdrop of Madurai, where tradition and investigation collide amid the raw energy of the iconic Jallikattu festival, the story unfolds with the discovery of skeletal remains at the site of a highway project that leads M. Sasikumar’s SI Moosa Raza, an honest and relentless police officer, to an elusive prisoner named Mani. But what appears to be a murder investigation soon spirals into something far more unsettling as Moosa sets off in pursuit of the truth, putting him on a collision course with public perception, media frenzy, politics, and human frailties. As he digs deeper, buried secrets begin to surface, setting the stage for a suspenseful tale of guilt, secrets, rumors, and redemption where the truth proves to be far more complicated than it first appears.

Creator, writer, and director Andrew Louis said, “At its heart, Vadhandhi has always been about questioning what we choose to believe and the uncomfortable truths we often choose to ignore. The positive audience response and critical acclaim for the first season were incredibly heartening and paved the way for the next chapter in the franchise. With season two, I wanted to craft a mystery that goes beyond uncovering a crime to explore how power, silence, and deeply rooted systems shape our perception of justice. Setting the story in Madurai gave us a culturally rich and emotionally charged world that became integral to the narrative. Sasikumar, along with an exceptionally talented ensemble cast, brought remarkable honesty and depth to their performances, elevating every character and the emotional weight of the story. I’m deeply grateful to Pushkar and Gayatri, and to Prime Video, for their unwavering support and belief in this vision. I hope audiences are not only gripped by the mystery and enjoy the journey but also continue to reflect on the questions the story raises long after it ends.”

M. Sasikumar, who plays the role of SI Moosa Raza, said, “What drew me to Moosa Raza was his unwavering sense of integrity. He’s a man who believes that justice is meaningless unless it’s built on the truth, even when pursuing it comes at a personal cost. What fascinated me most was exploring the man beneath the badge—his quiet resilience, vulnerability, and the moral dilemmas that constantly test his convictions. Every step of his investigation forces him to confront difficult choices, making this as much an emotional journey as it is a gripping mystery. Working with Andrew Louis, Pushkar, Gayatri, Prime Video, and such a phenomenal cast and crew made the experience incredibly rewarding. I hope audiences connect with Moosa Raza’s journey, immerse themselves in unraveling the mystery alongside him, and stay with the story long after the final revelation.”

The producers today dropped a striking new poster for their eagerly awaited crime thriller, Daayra, which is set to hit theaters on 18th September 2026. Highlighting #KareenaKapoorKhan and #PrithvirajSukumaran in a dramatic face-off marked by raw intensity and composure, the visual offers a compelling look into the film’s dark universe.

Inspired by true events, Daayra is directed by national award winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar and written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal, and Meghna Gulzar. The film brings together Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran for the first time. Produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios and distributed by Pen Marudhar, Daayra marks the first collaboration between the two production houses. The film reunites Meghna Gulzar with Junglee Pictures for the third time after the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Talvar and Raazi.

The newly released poster positions the two protagonists on opposing sides of a cordoned-off investigation, visually capturing the tension at the heart of Daayra. It offers a glimpse into a world where crime and consequence collide, and where the boundaries between law, justice, morality and accountability are constantly challenged.

The film promises an engrossing and layered narrative that poses difficult questions while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. It provokes curiosity, sparks conversation, and promises a riveting cinematic experience that will keep audiences hooked until the very end.

An independent industry source reveals, “Following the overwhelming response to Rajkumar Hirani’s Pritam and Pedro, a Korean production house has reached out to the makers to acquire the remake rights. The project is currently in the discussion stage, with both sides exploring the possibility of adapting the story for Korean audiences.

While the conversations are still at a preliminary stage and nothing has been officially locked yet, the development reflects the growing global appetite for Indian stories with universal themes. Industry insiders believe the show’s mix of emotion, humour and an engaging cybercrime backdrop makes it well-suited for adaptation across international markets.

Headlined by Arshad Warsi, Vikrant Massey and debutant Vir Hirani, Pritam and Pedro follows the unlikely partnership between an old-school cop and a young hacker as they navigate the world of cybercrime. The series marked Rajkumar Hirani’s first long-format streaming project as creator and producer, with Avinash Arun helming the show.

An official confirmation on the Korean remake is still awaited, but if the discussions move forward, Pritam and Pedro could become the latest Indian title to find a new life on the global stage.

Following the critical acclaim of her maiden production Girls Will Be Girls, which debuted at Sundance and picked up an Independent Spirit Award, actor-producer Richa Chadha is expanding her creative horizons with a new non-fiction series under her banner, Pushing Buttons Studios.

Titled ‘Musafiri’, the travel-based series will premiere on YouTube this August. Blending travel, culture and conversations, the show will see Richa explore different destinations while uncovering the stories, history, traditions and people that make each place unique. More than just a travel series, Musafiri aims to educate, entertain and offer viewers a fresh perspective through the eyes of a curious traveller.

Speaking about the series, Richa Chadha said, “Travel has always given me a chance to pause, observe and learn. With Musafiri, I wanted to create something that goes beyond ticking places off a map. Every destination has its own rhythm, history, food, people and stories that often don’t find enough space in conventional travel content. This series is about slowing down and experiencing those layers. I hope viewers come away not just with ideas for their next trip, but with a deeper appreciation of the places we visit and the communities that make them special. As a producer, I enjoy backing stories that offer something meaningful, and Musafiri reflects that intention. I’m excited to finally share this journey with everyone and can’t wait for audiences to travel with us when the series premieres in August.”

With Musafiri, Pushing Buttons Studios continues to diversify its slate by venturing into the non-fiction space, bringing audiences a travel series that combines exploration with thoughtful storytelling. The series will make its YouTube debut in August.

Mumbai, India – 27th July 2026: MX Player by Prime Video, India’s leading free, premium, ad-supported video streaming service, today dropped the trailer for Playground Season 5, and the game is bigger than ever. The blockbuster gaming reality show returns with its most ambitious format yet, introducing a three-mentor panel. Two-time champion Elvish Yadav returns to lead the KO Krakens, while Tejasswi Prakash makes her debut as a mentor to the Raging Centaurs, alongside Aarush Bhola, who takes charge of the Power Phoenixes. Spanning six weeks, Season 5 will see three teams in a relentless competition to emerge with just one mastermind at the end.

The trailer opens with each mentor caught mid-moment in their own world, until reality glitches around them. One by one, they realise they’ve been locked in as mentors and pulled straight into the world of reality gaming, where they’re set to go head-to-head. There is no time to ease into the competition. The mentors must adapt, upgrade and dominate, because in this game, it can all be over in an instant. Every level is a boss level, and the only objective is to eliminate the target. As the trailer declares, the real game begins now, because this time, there won’t be games in the house. The house is the game.

But the battle doesn’t end there. With the mentors now inside the Playground, the trailer sets up the season’s next big battle: building their teams.

Amogh Dusad, Director & Head of Content, MX Player by Prime Video, said, “Playground has built a loyal following because it keeps reinventing the stakes, and Season 5 does exactly that. As the only gaming reality show that seamlessly blends competitive gaming with immersive reality entertainment, Playground has carved out a space of its own. Bringing Elvish Yadav back alongside Tejasswi Prakash and Aarush Bhola gives us a mentor panel with the perfect mix of proven experience and fresh perspective. We’re confident this season’s format will keep both our contestants and audiences hooked.”

Talking about his return, two-time champion mentor Elvish Yadav shared, “Winning the title once is an achievement. Winning it twice is a responsibility. Every new season brings tougher competition and fresh challenges, but that’s exactly what motivates me. I know everyone will be coming after the defending champion, and I’m ready for it. I’m coming back with the same hunger, the same belief, and the same mindset—to give it everything I’ve got. The goal is simple: make history with a third title”

Sharing her excitement about joining the panel, Tejasswi Prakash said, “This is my first time stepping into a gaming reality show as a mentor, and that alone makes this experience incredibly exciting for me. What makes it even more thrilling is that this season, the house itself is the game, so you’re constantly thinking on your feet and adapting to whatever comes your way. I’m really looking forward to taking on this challenge, competing alongside two strong mentors, and discovering a completely new side of myself through the journey.”

Adding to that, Aarush Bhola said, “For me, Playground isn’t just about winning—it’s about building a team that believes in itself. As a first-time mentor, I know there will be a learning curve, but I also believe fresh perspectives can change the game. What makes this journey even more special is the opportunity to give back to the gaming and creator community by helping upcoming talent find a platform through MX Player by Prime Video. I’m excited to compete alongside other mentors, challenge them at every step, and create a journey that people will remember. The goal is simple: give my team everything I’ve got and fight till the very end.”

Playground Season 5 premieres on 1st August 2026, streaming for free exclusively on MX Player by Prime Video, available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV.

At its core, Bandra Boy is a thriller that explores the dangerous gap between truth and perception in the digital age. The film examines how media headlines, public scrutiny and social judgment can construct a person’s image even before the facts are fully known. #AhwaanKumar plays Siddharth Oberoi, while #DharmendraGohil portrays Devaraj Oberoi. The supporting cast features #LochanBarsagade, #YashPednekar, #ShamThombare, #PawanTiwari, #AishwaryaManohar, #HimanshiMandalia and #NandiniSharma. Rather than limiting itself to the conventions of a conventional thriller, the film uses its central conflict to raise pertinent questions about how quickly society forms opinions and how difficult it can be to separate reality from a narrative shaped by the media and public perception.

The strength of Bandra Boy lies in its focused storytelling and the way its screenplay keeps the audience engaged without becoming unnecessarily preachy. The subject is handled with restraint, allowing the narrative and characters to make their own point. As a director, Neeru Sharma displays clarity and confidence, particularly impressive for a debut feature in the short-film format. Ahwaan Kumar brings a strong screen presence to Siddharth Oberoi, while Dharmendra Gohil delivers a measured and convincing performance as Devaraj Oberoi, giving the film emotional depth and credibility. The supporting actors contribute effectively to the narrative, ensuring that the compact runtime does not compromise the characters’ significance. Technically, the film is equally polished, with Aayush Shah’s cinematography creating an appropriate visual mood, Sandeep Kurup’s crisp editing maintaining the pace, and Kaushal Mahavir’s background score enhancing the tension. Produced by Rajeev Parashar under the banner of Niruvana Kreations, Bandra Boy succeeds as an engaging thriller while also offering a thought-provoking commentary on the power of headlines, assumptions and public narratives in shaping the truth.
