Legal Victory for Nikhil Dwivedi as Bombay High Court Quashes IMPPA Award Against Saffron Magicworks
In a significant legal development for filmmaker and producer Nikhil Dwivedi’s production house, Saffron Magicworks, the Bombay High Court has set aside an award issued by the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) on July 3, 2026. The decision marks an important development in the dispute surrounding the award and brings the present proceedings before the court to a close, subject to the rights and remedies available to the parties under law.
Bombay High Court’s Ruling
According to a statement issued by Saffron Magicworks, the Bombay High Court set aside the award passed by IMPPA’s Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC). The court also disposed of the suit, noting that no further issues remained to be considered in the pending applications.
The latest ruling follows an interim order passed on September 9, 2026, by Justice Arif S. Doctor, under which IMPPA was restrained from declaring Saffron Magicworks a defaulter on the basis of the disputed award. During the earlier proceedings, the counsel appearing for Defendant No. 2 had also submitted that the party would not act upon the impugned award.
Saffron Magicworks had approached the High Court challenging the award and seeking protection against any adverse consequences arising from its implementation.
Significance of the Court’s Decision
In its latest order dated October 23, 2026, Justice Arif S. Doctor considered IMPPA’s position in the matter and observed that the association could not claim to be aggrieved by the setting aside of an award issued by its own committee. The court also recorded that IMPPA had not appeared in the proceedings despite having been served with notices.
The development comes amid a wider disagreement between Saffron Magicworks and IMPPA over the interpretation and public representation of the court’s earlier directions. Saffron Magicworks had raised concerns regarding statements made by IMPPA about the proceedings, particularly in relation to whether the association had been restrained by the court.
The production house maintained that the September 9 order expressly prevented IMPPA from declaring it a defaulter on the basis of the award dated July 3, 2026.
Legal Representation and Further Proceedings
The dispute has extended beyond the original award to include questions surrounding the interpretation and communication of the court’s directions. With the award now set aside, the latest order represents a key development in Saffron Magicworks’ legal challenge to the proceedings initiated through IMPPA’s dispute resolution mechanism.
The court has disposed of the suit and the pending applications, while keeping the rights, contentions and remedies available to the parties under law open for future consideration.
Saffron Magicworks was represented by advocates Rashmin Khandekar, Dhruva Gandhi, Madhu Gadodia, Vivek Dwivedi, Vinita Dandekar and Aryan Garg, instructed by Anand and Naik. Kartikeya Desai, Chief Legal Officer of Saffron Magicworks, was also present during the proceedings.

Rohit Sharma Reveals How His Children’s Innocence Has Influenced His Approach to Captaincy on Family Full House
29th October 2026, Mumbai: Being a parent can change the way one looks at life, and for Rohit Sharma, his children have also taught him lessons that extend to the cricket field. On Family Full House with Rohit Sharma, the hitman opened up about how his two children’s different personalities and their innocence have influenced the way he approaches situations, including his role as a captain.
Speaking about what he has learnt from his children, Rohit said, “Mere dono bachche alag-alag character hain, dono ka bartav alag hai kyunki umar alag hai. Ek 7 saal ki hai, ek 2 saal ka hoga. Toh unse mujhe jo seekhne ko milta hai, woh un bachchon ke andar jo bholaapan hota hai na, innocence. Kyunki kabhi-kabhi ye innocence mujhe apne ground pe bhi leke jaana padta hai. Jab main captaincy karta hoon,”
Rohit went on to explain how this lesson sometimes reflects in the way he communicates with his teammates. Giving an example of how he guides a player on the field, he said, “toh Kuldeep Yadav, Arey bhai, ye ball daalni hai aapko, aapko aise perform karna hai. Main chahta hoon ki aap ground mein aaiye. Main ek example de raha hoon, par logon ke saath aisa bartav karna padta hai, toh I think ye cheez apne bachchon se mujhe seekhne ko mili hai.”
Through this reflection, Rohit shared how the innocence he sees in his children has taught him to approach people differently, a lesson he carries into his responsibilities as a captain.

*Mumbai*: On *Family Full House with Rohit Sharma*, two teams face off in an episode that leaves Rohit Sharma making a big declaration. Featuring *Rajpal Yadav, Paritosh Tripathi, Farhad Samji* and *Hemant Pandey* in one team, and *Kiku Sharda, Gaurav Gera, Suresh Menon* and *Vrajesh Hirjee* in the other. The episode brings together some of the most recognisable comic acts. Rohit welcomes Rajpal Yadav and reveals how excited he was when he first learnt that the actor would be joining them. What follows is a comedy-packed episode, with Kiku bringing back his iconic Baccha Yadav character and Rajpal taking over with his natural humour and dance moves.
The two comedians keep Rohit thoroughly entertained, leading him to make a rare declaration about the show, Rohit says, _“Yeh best episode hai, andar se khushi ho rahi hai.”_
Amid the comedy, *Rohit* also shares a personal memory of how *Rajpal Yadav’s* films helped him deal with disappointment after a difficult day on the field. Recalling the days, Rohit said, _“Jab mai khelta hu, out ho jata hu, hum match haar jaate hai toh jab hotel jata hu dukhi rehta hu toh mai aapki movie dekhta hu, woh movie dekhne ke baad subah jab uthta hu toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki kal toh kuch hua hi nahi, mai toh jaldi out hua hi nahi.”_
Rohit then decided to share proof of just how much he enjoyed Rajpal’s comedy. Asking the actor if he would like to see it, he said, _“Toh proof ki baat, aap dekhna chahoge?"_ A video was then played, taking everyone back to 2016, when Rohit used an app to create videos featuring Rajpal’s dialogues.
Explaining the video and the memories attached to it, Rohit shared, _“Ye 2016 ki baat hai ek app aaya karta tha. Woh app me aap aise video create karte the, toh maine bataya na jab na hum hotel me aate the khelne ke baad, hotel me baithke yehi karte the, toh ye tha proof mera, ye 2016 ki baat hai, 10 saal phle ki baat hai.”_
Touched by Rohit’s words and the video, Rajpal Yadav responded with appreciation for the cricketer. Praising Rohit’s contribution to Indian cricket, he said, _“Ek chiz aapke samman me kehna chahunga, ki aap umar me jaroor hum logo se chhote hai lekin aapne hum logo ki height ek ek haazar feet ki banayi hai pure duniya ke saamne.”_
Rajpal went on to speak about the connection between entertainment and sports, acknowledging Rohit’s role in inspiring young people. He said, _“Aur dusri chiz ye entertainment hum log humesha bolte hai na mujhe comedy aati hai na tragedy aati hai, we are all entertainers…”_ Pointing towards Rohit, he added, _“par aap hum sabke captain hai.. Aapne yuvayon me jo josh bhara, aapne jo prerna di, khel humesha umar badhata hai, aapka blood circulation badhata hai, aapka focus badhata hai aapka vision badhata hai, Rohit Sharma aur Rohit Sharma ke team ne humare desh ka maan badhaya, God bless you brother.”_
From Kiku’s iconic Baccha Yadav act and Rajpal’s comedy and dance moves to Rohit’s throwback video and his admiration for the actor, the episode brings together humour and personal memories.

लॉस एंजिल्स में नमित मल्होत्रा ने दुनिया के सामने पेश की भारत की महागाथा, ‘रामायणम्’ को लेकर जताया गर्व*
*लॉस एंजिल्स में नमित मल्होत्रा ने दुनिया के सामने पेश की भारत की महागाथा, ‘रामायणम्’ को लेकर जताया गर्व*
_एकेडमी म्यूजियम ऑफ मोशन पिक्चर्स के अंदर बने डेविड गेफेन थिएटर में लोगों को संबोधित करते हुए प्रोड्यूसर नमित मल्होत्रा के चेहरे पर भारत की सदियों पुरानी महागाथा को ग्लोबल सिनेमा के मंच तक पहुंचाने का गर्व साफ नजर आया।_
प्रोड्यूसर नमित मल्होत्रा ने जब लॉस एंजिल्स में 'रामायणम्ः राइज ऑफ अ लेजेंड' के प्रीमियर पर मौजूद लोगों को संबोधित किया, तब उनकी आवाज में एक सदियों पुरानी कहानी को दुनिया भर में पहुंचाने से लेकर भारतीय संस्कृति से दुनिया भर को रूबरू कराने को लेकर गर्व संग भावनाओं को महसूस किया गया। डेविड गेफेन थिएटर जो एकेडमी म्यूजियम ऑफ मोशन पिक्चर्स के अंदर मौजूद है, उसमें रामायणम् का प्रीमियर किया गया। बता दें कि यह प्रीमियर नमित मल्होत्रा द्वारा देखे जाने वाले विजन के लिए एक बड़ा मुकाम है। इस तरह से मल्होत्रा की सोच इस महान महागाथा को दुनिया भर में मौजूद सभी दर्शकों तक पहुंचाने की है।
नमित मल्होत्रा ने लॉस एंजिल्स में ‘रामायणम्’ के प्रीमियर पर सभी का स्वागत करते हुए कहा कि इस फिल्म को बनाना उनके लिए किसी सपने के सच होने जैसा है। उन्होंने डायरेक्टर नितेश तिवारी, रणबीर कपूर, साई पल्लवी और यश को स्टेज पर बुलाया। उन्होंने बताया कि उनकी कंपनी डीएनईजी और उनकी टीम अब तक आठ एकेडमी अवॉर्ड जीत चुकी है। 19 साल की उम्र में एक छोटे से गैराज और एप्पल कंप्यूटर से शुरू हुआ उनका सफर आज ‘रामायणम्’ जैसी बड़ी फिल्म बनाने तक पहुंच गया है।
नमित ने बताया कि 2007 में ग्लोबल कंपनी बनाने और पूर्वी व पश्चिमी दुनिया को जोड़ने के सपने के साथ वह लॉस एंजिल्स आए थे। 2008 के आर्थिक संकट में अपनी 90 फीसदी संपत्ति गंवाने के बाद भी उन्होंने हार नहीं मानी। आज उन्हें गर्व है कि वह भारतीय टैलेंट के साथ हैंस जिमर, टेरी नोटरी और रवि बंसल जैसे बेहतरीन कलाकारों को एक साथ ला सके। उन्होंने अपने माता-पिता नीता और नरेश मल्होत्रा, बहन नेहा, पत्नी, बच्चों और डीएनईजी व प्राइम फोकस की टीम को उनके सहयोग के लिए धन्यवाद दिया।
उन्होंने सोनी पिक्चर्स की टीम और अपने सभी सहयोगियों का भी आभार जताया, जिनके भरोसे और समर्थन से यह फिल्म बन पाई। नमित ने कहा कि उनका मकसद भारत और पश्चिमी दुनिया के बेहतरीन टैलेंट को साथ लाकर ऐसी फिल्म बनाना है, जो दुनिया भर के करोड़ों लोगों के लिए खास मायने रखे। उन्होंने उम्मीद जताई कि दर्शक ‘रामायणम्’ को उतना ही पसंद करेंगे, जितने प्यार, मेहनत और समर्पण से उनकी टीम ने इसे बनाया है।
इस प्रीमियर के लिए वेन्यू के अंदर लोगों में उत्साह की लहर देखने मिली। बता दें कि डेविड गेफेन थिएटर में 945 मेहमानों के बैठने के लिए सीट्स हैं, लेकिन लोगों की भीड़ इतनी थी कि हर सीट भर चुकी थी और फिर भी सीट्स कम पड़ गई। हॉलीवुड गेस्ट्स, इंटरनेशनल मीडिया और इनफ्लुएंसर्स के साथ सिनेफिल्स को इंग्लिश भाषा में पेश किए गए महागाथा का अनुभव करने के लिए एक साथ आते हुए देखा गया। ऐसे में मेकर्स ने गेस्ट्स की बढ़ती संख्या को देखते हुए फिल्म की स्क्रीनिंग के लिए एक और थिएटर का इंतजाम किया।
दुनिया द्वारा सबसे ज्यादा पूजे जाने वाले महाकाव्यों में से एक 'रामायणम्' को बड़े पर्दे पर लाया जा रहा है। फिल्म में रणबीर कपूर भगवान राम, साई पल्लवी सीता, रॉकिंग स्टार यश रावण, सनी देओल हनुमान और रवि दुबे लक्ष्मण के किरदार में नजर आएंगे।
नितेश तिवारी के डायरेक्शन में बनी 'रामायणम्' को नमित मल्होत्रा के प्राइम फोकस स्टूडियोज ने 8 बार ऑस्कर जीत चुके DNEG और यश की मॉन्स्टर माइंड क्रिएशंस के साथ मिलकर बनाया है। यह फिल्म दो पार्ट में रिलीज होगी। फिल्म का पार्ट 1, 5 नवंबर 2026 और पार्ट 2 दिवाली 2027 में दुनियाभर में हिंदी, तमिल, तेलुगु, कन्नड़ और मलयालम भाषाओं में रिलीज होगी। फिल्म को सोनी पिक्चर्स दुनिया भर में भारत छोड़कर रिलीज करेगी, जबकि हिंदी भाषी मार्केट में धर्मा प्रोडक्शंस इसके डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर हैं। फिल्म दुनियाभर में IMAX में रिलीज होगी। जबकि फिल्म के गाने टी सीरीज के लेबल तले रिलीज़ किए जाएंगे।

*One Month to Go and Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’ Brings the Family Together for Diwali Safai*
*One Month to Go and Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’ Brings the Family Together for Diwali Safai*
*One Month Until Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’ Hits Theatres; The Family Is Already Getting Ready for Diwali*
*Just One Month to Go for Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’; Ayushmann and Sharvari Get Into the Diwali Spirit*
*Diwali Is Around the Corner! Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’ Reminds Us That Safai Is a Family Affair*
With a month to go for the film’s release, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari get into the Diwali cleaning spirit in a quintessential Rajshri family moment.
Diwali is almost here, and in Indian households, that means one thing before the lights, sweets and celebrations take over: saaf safai! From dusting every corner to getting the house ready for guests, the annual cleaning ritual is as much a part of the festival as lighting diyas. And if there is one thing that makes the task easier, it is having the entire family pitch in.
Bringing this familiar Diwali ritual to life is the team of Yeh Prem Mol Liya. In a warm, quintessential Indian family setting, we see Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari getting down to the act of cleaning while the rest of the house is busy with their own festive preparations. One hand on a vacuum cleaner, the other on a broom, family members taking turns to share the work, the picture captures the chaos, warmth and togetherness that make pre-Diwali cleaning a tradition in so many homes.
This is a scene that is instantly familiar. There is always a corner that needs another dusting, a relative who has a different idea of how things should be done, someone trying to sneak away from the work. But when everyone comes together, even the annual cleaning marathon becomes a family affair. The thought is simple: saaf safai se parivaar ka time shuru!
The moment also brings to mind the world Sooraj R. Barjatya has made his own. Family has been the heart of his stories in films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun.., Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Vivah. His cinema is about more than big celebrations. It is also about the small interactions that bring people together. This Diwali, Yeh Prem Mol Liya taps into that familiar sentiment, reminding audiences that festivals are as much about getting ready together as they are about celebrating together.
Adding to the film’s appeal is its music by Himesh Reshammiya, whose compositions bring another layer of emotion and entertainment to this upcoming family entertainer.
Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya and produced by Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films. With just one month to go before its theatrical release, the family entertainer is set to arrive in cinemas on November 27, 2026.
Until then, it is time to bring out the cleaning supplies, get the family involved and make room for the festive season. After all, Diwali preparations are always better when everyone joins in.
