Set in pre-liberalised India, at a time when the country stood on the brink of economic and social change, Made in India: A Titan Story traces the remarkable rise of Titan through the eyes of visionary businessman Xerxes Desai. The trailer offers a powerful glimpse into a journey driven by ambition and unwavering belief, where a bold idea to build an Indian watch brand slowly transforms into something far greater. As resistance mounts and uncertainty looms large, Xerxes Desai and JRD Tata remain steadfast in their belief that India could create something of its own. From an idea that began with timepieces led to a legacy that became part of the country’s identity.

Sharing his thoughts on bringing this story to audiences, Amogh Dusad, Head of Content, Amazon MX Player, said, “Made in India: A Titan Story is more than the journey of an iconic brand, it reflects the ambition and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped a defining chapter in India’s story. Much like the Make in India initiative that champions self-reliance and homegrown innovation, this series celebrates the visionaries who built world-class enterprises right here in India. At Amazon MX Player, championing premium, homegrown stories rooted in India remains central to our content vision. With a stellar ensemble featuring talents like Naseeruddin Shah and Jim Sarbh, the series brings remarkable depth to a story that continues to inspire generations. We are delighted to bring this powerful journey to audiences across the country, free on Amazon MX Player.”

Naseeruddin Shah, who essays the role of JRD Tata, added, “What fascinated me about JRD Tata was not just his vision, but the quiet confidence with which he inspired people to dream bigger than they thought possible. He had an extraordinary ability to spot potential and nurture it with trust, something that feels increasingly rare. Made in India: A Titan Story is not merely about building a brand; it is about people, belief, and the courage to back an idea when success is still uncertain. Portraying JRD Tata and collaborating with Amazon MX Player on a story of this depth and legacy has been immensely rewarding, and I’m looking forward to audiences experiencing this journey.”

Speaking about portraying Xerxes Desai, Jim Sarbh shared, “Xerxes Desai struck me as someone who was quietly rebellious, someone unafraid to challenge convention and imagine what didn’t yet exist. What I love about Made in India: A Titan Story is that while it speaks of ambition and scale, at its core, it’s deeply human, about persistence, instinct, and believing in an idea long before anyone else does. Playing Xerxes and partnering with Amazon MX Player on a story so layered and inspiring has been incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait for audiences to discover this world.”

With one idea, countless setbacks, and a dream that would eventually leave its mark across generations, Made in India – A Titan Story is all set to premiere on 3rd June 2026. The series will stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available across mobile devices, Connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, JioTV, and Airtel Xstream.

Co-directed by #TanushreeDas and #SaumyanandaSahi in their directorial debut, Baksho Bondi features Tillotama Shome as Maya, set against the backdrop of a dusty Kolkata suburb, weaving a powerful narrative of love, resilience, and the quiet strength of a working woman navigating her everyday life.

The Opening Night screening is scheduled for August 14th in Melbourne, setting the tone for the festival’s celebration of bold, layered, and deeply human stories from India.

Tillotama Shome, reflecting on the film’s journey, shares, “Baksho Bondi is incredibly close to my heart. Playing Maya was a lesson in listening to silences, in discovering strength in small acts, and in understanding how quiet resilience shapes women’s lives in a world that often overlooks them.
After Berlin, bringing Maya’s story to Melbourne feels special because of the incredible strength and spirit of inclusion that radiates from Mitu, the festival director of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. This film is a love letter to working women, to dusty afternoons in Barrackpore and to the courage that quietly persists even when no one is watching.”

Mitu Bhowmick Lange, Director of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, adds, “We are honoured to open IFFM 2025 with Baksho Bondi – Shadowbox, a film that exemplifies the strength of Indian independent cinema while touching on themes that are deeply personal and globally relatable. Tillotama Shome’s performance as Maya is nothing short of extraordinary, and Tanushree Das and Saumyananda Sahi have crafted a tender, honest, and visually stunning film that resonates with the spirit of resilience and hope. It is exactly the kind of cinema we are proud to showcase at IFFM, and we are excited for Australian audiences to experience this gem on our Opening Night.”

Baksho Bondi – Shadowbox further solidifies IFFM’s commitment to showcasing stories that are rooted in lived realities while embracing the power of cinematic storytelling, making it a perfect start for the 2025 edition.

IFFM in it’s 16th year stands as the largest celebration of Indian film outside India, and this year’s award contenders reflect the depth, diversity, and dynamism of Indian storytelling across languages and platforms. Supported by the Victorian Government, the festival will run from August 14 to 24, with the highly anticipated IFFM Awards Night set for August 15, honouring cinematic excellence across film and OTT categories.

In a refreshing twist, ‘Crew Cut’ flips the narrative: actors aren’t interviewed, they DO the interviewing. They interview the people working behind the scenes, delving into the crews’ experiences, processes, unique insights, and creative approach.

Jim Sarbh shares his inspiration behind ‘Crew Cut’ stating, “Zoya and I have been thoroughly inspired by the crew we see on set. They are totally entrenched in the overarching storytelling of any project. An actor drops in and out of the shooting schedule, but a production designer, cinematographer or music film composer, for example, is present for the entire experience. They understand the project in its entirety, and their influence affects our experience of watching a film more than we can imagine. Ideally, through the show we want to highlight the fact that though they are often referred to as technicians, their job is anything but just technical, what they truly are, is storytellers. Extremely creative, hardworking, and intelligent storytellers who align with the director’s vision.”

Zoya Hussain adds, “On Crew Cut, expect everything from our guests. Why did they want to pick the profession they have, how did they start off in the industry, what inspires them, what makes them tick, what thoughts and feelings they have about life in general, what they like outside of work, who they are, hear some jokes, and get lots of advice.”

Season 1 of ‘Crew Cut’ boasts an impressive line-up of guests who will share their experiences on the channel. Jim Sarbh, Zoya Hussain, Rasika Duggal, Vidya Balan, Arjun Radhakrishnan, Anil Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur will be seen interviewing the magical crew who are set to make their appearance on the show.

The first episode of ‘Crew Cut’ is set to release today, featuring Jim Sarbh in the interviewer’s chair, engaging in a compelling conversation with cinematographer Harshvir Oberai. Known for his notable work in projects like Rocket Boys, Kathal, Ponniyan Selvan, The Circle is Mine, Arya and Taish, Oberai will provide a glimpse into his journey and share his unique perspectives on the art of cinematography.

We’ve had a long-standing collaboration with Pritish Nandy Communications and can’t wait to unveil the new season of the show on 21st October!”

“The success of our first two seasons, has driven us to produce a power-packed season 3. Four More Shots Please! travels to Italy and Punjab this season, apart from South Mumbai; the drama is bigger, the scale is larger, and the friendship is stronger.

Ankur said, “On set doing scenes with an imaginary wizard became challenging at times. Vihaan and I would be having a conversation and suddenly I’d hear the voice of comedian Azeem Banatwalla say some line (he helped write for Wiz) and I’d have to ignore it because the voice is only in Vihaan’s head. I’d have to justify my silence in the middle of our conversation and then pick back up after Wiz’s line. It was all a little bananas and I wondered how it would all fit together in the edit. But when I saw the show I couldn’t stop laughing. It really worked! And Jim Sarbh as the voice of Wiz made the scenes pop even more. I know from working with Jim on Taish that he loves improvise and I could tell he definitely added some lines that weren’t there before. His additions made the scenes even funnier.”

Ray played by Vihaan Samat is an awkward young man who is navigating adulthood and the daunting world of romance in the 21st century. He does this with the help of ‘Wiz’, a personification of Ray’s inner voice, who tells us what Ray cannot say out loud. The show stars Vihaan Samat, Rahul Bose, Ankur Rathee Suchitra Pillai and Jim Sarbh. The comedy-drama is produced by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Tiger Baby Films and Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment for Netflix.
