Zindagi Rukti Nahi… Main Bhi Nahi’: Kamya Punjabi Makes a Powerful Statement in Me No Pause Me Play Actor Kamya Punjabi makes a powerful statement in the newly unveiled poster of Me No Pause Me Play, touted as India’s first Hindi feature film on menopause. Backed by Digifilming and Mirrro Films, the film explores an issue rarely depicted on screen — the emotional and physical journey of women during menopause — with an empowering message at its core: “Zindagi rukti nahi... main bhi nahi!” The poster features Kamya in a determined, forward-moving stance, set against the imagery of a large golden clock — a symbolic representation of time, change, and renewal. The visual, bold yet introspective, reflects the film’s central theme of self-acceptance and strength in the face of life’s transitions. Directed by Samar K. Mukherjee and written and produced by Manoj Kumar Sharma, Me No Pause Me Play also stars Deepshikha Nagpal, Sudha Chandran, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Amiee Misobbah, Karan Chhabra & Aman Verma in pivotal roles. The film is inspired by Sharma’s widely appreciated book of the same name, which captures the unspoken experiences of women navigating menopause — a topic often brushed under the rug in Indian households. Speaking about the film, Kamya Punjabi says, “Menopause is a natural part of every woman’s life, yet it’s treated like something to be hidden. With Me No Pause Me Play, we’re giving that silence a voice. It’s about courage, acceptance, and realizing that this phase isn’t an end — it’s a new beginning.” Through its story, Me No Pause Me Play aims to spark open dialogue about women’s health, emotional well-being, and identity — subjects that remain largely underrepresented in mainstream cinema. With screenplay and dialogues by Shakeel Qureshi and Manoj Kumar Sharma, and cinematography by Akram Khan, the film seeks to blend social commentary with emotional storytelling. Set to release in theatres on November 28, 2025, Me No Pause Me Play positions itself as a bold step toward destigmatizing conversations around women’s health and aging — a cinematic reminder that life doesn’t pause, and neither do women.

Rangeela’ Trailer Out: A Journey of Love, Dreams, and Cinema Returns in 4K Glory! A Journey of Love, Dreams, and Cinema — ‘Rangeela’ Trailer Brings Back 90s Magic in 4K! Mumbai, November 10, 2025: The trailer of the timeless romantic musical Rangeela has been unveiled in a brand-new 4K restored version, bringing back the magic of the 90s while captivating today’s Gen Z audiences with its charm, music, and emotion. The trailer opens with Urmila Matondkar’s fiery dialogue, “Mujhe padh likhkar clerk nahi banna hai, mujhe actress banna hai,” capturing the spirit of dreams and ambition. Aamir Khan’s Tapori charm lights up the screen with his iconic line, “Kisi seth ki gaadi mein kutta bankar biscuit khane se accha hai, apun sadak par masti karega,” while Jackie Shroff’s suave film star persona completes the emotional triangle between a dreamer, a street-smart friend, and a romantic hero. The 2-minute 33-second trailer beautifully weaves together the film’s most iconic elements — the glitter of the film industry, the energy of Mumbai’s streets, and glimpses of the superhit songs “Yaaro Sun Lo Zara,” “Tanha Tanha,” and the evergreen “Rangeela Re.”
 Interspersed between scenes are the lines “A Journey of Love, Dreams, and Cinema,” “Relive A.R. Rahman’s Iconic Music,” and “The Cult Romance of the 90s is Back,” perfectly capturing the film’s nostalgic yet timeless appeal. Notably, the new trailer has struck a chord not only with fans of 90s cinema but also with Gen Z viewers, who are discovering the film’s vibrant storytelling, fashion, and music as a cultural bridge between eras. Set to re-release on November 28, 2025, Rangeela marks 30 years since its original 1995 release. Presented in 4K HD with immersive sound, the film has been restored and will be theatrically re-released by Ultra Media under their Ultra Rewind initiative, offering a completely new visual experience with enhanced clarity and audio brilliance. Speaking about the trailer, Ram Gopal Varma said, “Even after 30 years, Rangeela feels as fresh and rebellious as the day we made it. It captured Mumbai’s heartbeat — its chaos, its dreams, and its madness — and that emotion still feels timeless.” Sushilkumar Agrawal, CEO, Ultra Media, added, “With Ultra Rewind, our goal is to celebrate cinema that shaped generations. Rangeela isn’t just a film — it’s an emotion. The 4K version allows both old and new audiences to rediscover its magic on the big screen.” Starring Aamir Khan, Urmila Matondkar, and Jackie Shroff, with music by A.R. Rahman, Rangeela returns to theatres nationwide on November 28, 2025, promising to once again paint the big screen with love, dreams, and unforgettable melodies. Rangeela’s theatrical re-release marks the second project under Ultra Rewind, a special initiative by Ultra Media Group dedicated to restoring and re-releasing Indian cinema classics. Earlier this year, as part of Guru Dutt’s Centenary celebrations, Ultra presented a retrospective of his masterpieces — Pyaasa, Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Aar Paar, Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Mr. & Mrs. 55, and Baaz — all restored and released in 4K. Continuing this legacy, Ultra Rewind will bring more timeless classics back to theatres, ensuring India’s rich cinematic heritage continues to shine for generations to come.

Far from Home: Celebrated Bollywood Actor Naseeruddin Shah Joins as Executive Producer to Spotlight Afghan Refugees in India Mumbai, November 10, 2025 — Far from Home, a powerful short documentary shedding light on the plight of Afghan refugees in India, announces Bollywood icon Naseeruddin Shah as its Executive Producer. This marks the first time Mr. Shah has taken on an executive production role in a documentary, underscoring the film’s significance and urgent message. “I’ve always believed the most important function of cinema is to act as a record of its times. Since it is the only medium that can do that, I consider documentaries to be of more value for posterity than features,” said Naseeruddin Shah on joining the film. Directed by award-winning journalist Ankita M. Kumar, Far from Home tells the story of Samira Faizi, an Afghan refugee woman who arrived in India in 2021 following Afghanistan’s fall to the Taliban. The film explores Samira’s ongoing struggle to create a life amid a changing political landscape in India, which has become increasingly unfriendly to refugees. It examines the impact of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which excludes Muslim refugees from pathways to citizenship, leaving Afghan refugees like Samira in a precarious and indefinite limbo. “Refugee rights is a tricky topic in India, and given the current political scenario, refugees are scared to talk or come forth in public,” shared director Ankita M. Kumar. “I am proud of Samira for her bravery in telling her story and bringing awareness across the world about the situation of Afghan refugees in India. When one thinks of refugees, they usually visualize them on a boat going to Europe or on the US-Mexico border. But rarely do we talk about refugees in places where there is no framework to integrate them.” Ankita M. Kumar, born and raised in Mumbai and an alumnus of Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi, brings her deep journalistic expertise to the film. She has worked across leading publications including Deutsche Welle, POLITICO, and The Economist Group, earning numerous awards for excellence in reporting from organizations such as the SF Press Club, marks her directorial debut with Far from Home. She completed this project after receiving funding from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and the American Institute of Afghanistan Studies. Far from Home is produced by Emmy-winning producer Brent E. Huffman and supported by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. It has been recognized at several prestigious events, including as a finalist for the Japan Prize and runner-up in the Best Short Documentary category at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival. The documentary has screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals such as the American Documentary and Animation Film Festival and Tasveer Film Festival. ` "I am so proud to be part of Far from Home, a powerful and vital documentary chronicling issues facing refugees and immigrants in India, Afghanistan, around the world. Ankita Kumar is a brave new voice in documentary film who is tirelessly working to spread awareness about the plight of people like Samira and her family to help their harrowing situation," Brent E. Huffman, Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker, director of the Netflix documentary, Saving Mes Aynak, winner of 40+ awards and broadcast in over 70 countries. The film is currently on an Oscar campaign for Best Short Documentary and will be showcased at multiple venues in Los Angeles in November, including the Rodeo Screening Room in Downtown Beverly Hills on November 22. Other screenings include the National Press Club in Washington DC on December 3 and San Francisco from December 5-7.
