A sharp dialogue lands instantly: “Teen teen saand baithe hain ek gaiya nahin la sakate.” Sanjay Mishra’s quick-witted comeback, “Ab ham le aaye gaiya…”, sets the tone for the quirky storytelling ahead.
A family member then remarks, “Hamra Murli bada ho gaya, uska biyah kara do. Aurat ke bina ghar kya, sirf eent-patthar ka makan.” But finding a bride becomes a challenge, because no one wants to marry their daughter into a house without a female presence.

When the priest hears the groom is over 55, he exclaims, “Isko Ganga mein dhakka de do!” The trailer ends on this note, wrapping up a 2-minute-50-second journey filled with laughter, warmth, and pure Banarasi flavour. Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi promises a compelling blend of drama, comedy and heartfelt storytelling.
Speaking about the trailer, Producer Ekansh Bachchan and Harsha Bachchan says, “Banaras has its own rhythm — its humour, its relationships, its heart. We wanted the film’s trailer to reflect that rooted desi emotion. Sanjay ji and Mahima ji bring a sincerity and charm that elevates every scene. This story is about second chances, and about the madness and love that hold Indian families together.”

National, December 2, 2025: Every mother remembers the magic of those first moments, --the first cry, the first touch, the first time she looks at her baby. Unfortunately, some mothers never experience this magic owing to conditions like birth asphyxia, which leads to untimely deaths. Johnson’s® baby, a brand which has partnered with parents for generations, has been supporting the training of healthcare workers for over 16 years by funding a Neonatal Resuscitation program (NRP) led by a leading paediatrician association. This initiative furthers its commitment to help protect babies from the first minute of their life.
In India, every year 1.25 lakh newborns die within 24 hours of birth[2] owing to critical conditions like asphyxia where the newborn is unable to breathe at birth which can be life threatening as well as can cause disabilities even if the child survives.[3] Birth asphyxia is both preventable and treatable, however owing to lack of adequate training amongst healthcare professionals, this remains a big concern. The correct intervention in the first minute of birth can increase the chance of survival as much as 50%.[4]
With an objective to help reduce neonatal infant mortality in India due to birth asphyxia, makers of Johnson’s® baby have been supporting a leading paediatrician association by training healthcare professionals with Neonatal Resuscitation, a standardized and evidence-based approach to newborn care. Through this program, over 2 lakh+ nurses, midwives and paediatricians have been trained with critical knowledge, essential skills, intervention techniques to better manage neonatal emergencies and save lives.
Manoj Gadgil, Business Unit Head – Essential Health & Skin Health and VP Marketing, Kenvue, India, shares, “The survival of a newborn depends on correct interventions provided at the first minute of a baby’s birth. Unfortunately, these critical interventions are often compromised due to insufficient knowledge, training, and resources available to healthcare professionals. At Johnson’s® baby, we promise to protect babies not only from their first day but from the first moment. From providing high-quality products to partnering with social impact organizations, we are passionate about helping improve the lives of babies. For 16 years, we have supported1 a leading paediatrician association to train 2 lakh paediatricians, nurses and midwives in lifesaving neonatal resuscitation. We take pride in our journey, which reinforces our promise to help protect babies from their very first breath.”
With an aim to create awareness around ‘Project Golden Minute - Neonatal Resuscitation’, Johnson’s® baby has launched a heart-warming digital film conceptualised by DDB Mudra which spotlights this life-saving initiative. Set in a small-town hospital, the film brings alive the birth of a newborn amidst several other new mothers. As the baby is born, instead of a joyous cry, the room is quickly filled with tension as an asphyxiated baby fails to breathe. Immediately, the healthcare worker follows the neonatal resuscitation protocols and saves the baby while the mothers unified in their support as they sing a song dedicated to celebration of birth.
Siddhesh Khatavkar and Harshada Menon, Executive Creative Directors, DDB Mudra said, “For every mother, the greatest joy is hearing her baby’s first cry. Through this project, that precious first minute is being safeguarded by thousands of trained doctors, midwives, and healthcare workers. The film is a tribute both to the courage of mothers and the dedication of those who fight for every newborn’s first breath. To bring this to life, we reimagined Sohar - the traditional Indian cradle song sung to bless and protect a baby. Because saving a newborn isn’t just a medical intervention, it is an act of love.”
All the stream revenues generated by listening to this song will be donated to this scaling this initiative further.
Malini Awasthi, Eminent Indian Singer added, “As a folk singer, I have always believed that music has the power to connect hearts and inspire action. When Johnson’s Baby approached me to lend my voice to raise awareness about this critical initiative that saves newborn lives, I was deeply moved. What makes this initiative more special is the ode to ‘Sohar’ a traditional folk song sung by women to celebrate the birth of a child. The first cry of a baby is a song of hope, and through this initiative we celebrate the birth of life. It is my humble effort to ensure that no parent has to endure the heartbreak of losing a child due to a lack of timely intervention.”
Johnson’s® baby is planning a public awareness initiative across multiple touchpoints including engaging mum influencers, in-cinemas advertising with PVR Cinemas.

Ceiri Torjussen’s Gripping Background Score for Delhi Crime Season 3 Earns Rave Reviews
OR
Hollywood’s Ceiri Torjussen Crafts a Haunting Duality in the Background Score of Delhi Crime Season 3
As Delhi Crime Season 3 makes waves among fans and critics alike, one name continues to stand out beyond the show’s gripping tension and sharp storytelling, Ceiri Torjussen. The acclaimed & multi-award-winning composer behind the season’s powerful background score received overwhelming praise not just from audiences, but also from industry stalwarts. Having written more than five and a half hours of original music for the latest season, Ceiri’s score intensifies the drama while adding emotional depth to the series’ portrayal of human trafficking, enriching the narrative with a soundscape that is tense, human, and deeply atmospheric.
Returning after scoring Season 2, Ceiri Torjussen is thrilled with the phenomenal success of the show. This season, he expands Delhi Crime’s sonic universe with a palette that is gritty, synth-driven, and heart-wrenching, earning praise from both audiences and industry critics. Ceiri’s association with the series Delhi Crime began when he joined Season 2 and successfully carried forward the show’s distinct tone of synth textures paired with tension-driven energy, while carefully evolving and introducing his own textural language and sound to suit a different narrative landscape.
In Season 3, the story unfolds around a more sophisticated yet equally ruthless criminal gang, alongside the harrowing journey of young girls who are abducted and trafficked. To capture these contrasting perspectives, Ceiri created a dark, bass-heavy motif for the antagonists and a mournful, unsettling soundscape for the victims, ensuring both journeys remain impactful and vividly felt throughout the season. This duality runs through every episode, giving the series a sonic spine that heightens both suspense and empathy.
Speaking about his creative process and the memorable moments from the project, Ceiri shared, “The response to the score has been astonishing. I wanted the music this season to not only heighten the tension, but also truly reflect the human cost of the crimes at the heart of the story. The challenge was to balance the brutality of the antagonists with the vulnerability and resilience of the girls whose lives are torn apart. If the audience feels both fear and empathy while watching, then I have done my job.”
Emphasizing the importance of collaboration and experimentation, Ceiri added, “Director Tanuj Chopra and I have a strong creative relationship, having worked together on a couple of projects before Delhi Crime. From the very beginning, our conversations gave me the creative freedom to experiment and discover new ways of scoring a scene. This process allowed me to respond instinctively to the script and later fine-tune the music as the edit evolved. Finding the balance between realism, suspense, and emotional respite became a guiding principle for every episode. This season pushed my boundaries creatively, and I’m grateful to Tanuj for trusting me to explore and craft a sound that feels authentic to this world and contributes meaningfully to the emotional weight of the storytelling.”
With Season 3 of Delhi Crime, Ceiri Torjussen once again proves his mastery in crafting music that is not only heard but deeply felt, showing why he is regarded as one of the most versatile and intuitive composers working today. The success of the latest season has also renewed interest in his earlier work, including Season 2, while highlighting his remarkable journey. A multi-award-winning composer, Ceiri has scored music for films, television, OTT, and documentary projects across the U.S., India, and Europe, consistently pushing the boundaries of what music can achieve in visual storytelling. As his body of work continues to expand across global OTT platforms, Ceiri remains a name to watch. With Delhi Crime connecting with audiences around the world, his music continues to stand out, subtle yet powerful, and unforgettable in the impact it leaves behind.
