Netflix
Mumbai : Paanch padosi, dus dost aur anginat hungame (Five neighbours, ten friends and endless fun). Netflix has unveiled the trailer of Chumbak, a multi-generational, feel-good family comedy about one lively neighbourhood and the everyday chaos that comes when everyone knows everyone. From Hats Off Production — the creators of beloved cult comedies Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and Khichdi — Chumbak is written and directed by Aatish Kapadia and produced by Jamnadas (JD) Majethia and Aatish Kapadia.
Set in a contemporary urban Indian neighbourhood, the series follows five families whose lives are so intertwined that neighbours become less like people next door and more like permanent parivaar (family) — and a small problem in one home can quickly become a full-blown colony matter. Here, nobody really lives alone: there is always someone ready with an opinion, unsolicited advice, a helping hand or simply a reason to drop by.
The trailer offers a glimpse into this wonderfully chaotic world, introducing a colourful bunch of eccentric yet instantly familiar characters and the relationships that hold the colony together. At the heart of it are families who couldn’t be more different, yet somehow feel incredibly familiar. There’s Mickey and Twinkle Oberoi (Arjun Bijlani and Helly Shah), the hopelessly romantic lovebirds living in their own little La La Land; Aditya and Priyanka Khanna (Sumeet Vyaas and Manasi Parekh), a seemingly zen couple whose peaceful equation is anything but quiet; Mumma Gulshan, Freddy and Hutoxi Taraporewala (Delnaaz Irani, Anant V. Joshi and Amyra Dastur), the Parsi Bermuda Triangle where family dynamics are as unpredictable as they are entertaining; Rajni and Kuku Merchant (Neena Gupta and Deven Bhojani), perpetually at loggerheads even as they remain head-over-heels in love; and Dharmendra and Kiran Kejriwal (Sumeet Raghvan and Sandeepa Dhar), whose relationship takes “pati, patni aur patipatni” to an entirely new level. From family squabbles and marital quirks to parenting dilemmas, celebrations and inevitable neighbourhood gossip, Chumbak finds its humour in the everyday situations we have all seen, lived through or, very likely, been dragged into.

UNN @ Varsha Parikh : ‘टॉक्सिक: ए फेयरी टेल फॉर ग्रोन-अप्स’ यश के स्टारडम, स्टाइलिश एक्शन और भव्य विजुअल्स से भरपूर फिल्म है। फिल्म का डायलॉग—‘मेरी मदर टंग वायलेंस है रे’—इसके पूरे अंदाज की झलक देता है। गोलियों, धमाकों, हाई-टेक VFX और जबरदस्त एक्शन की भरमार है, जो ‘KGF’ की याद दिलाती है। करीब ₹500 करोड़ के बड़े बजट में बनी यह फिल्म विजुअली काफी शानदार है और यश अपने रॉकिंग अंदाज में पूरी तरह छाए रहते हैं। फिल्म में चार हीरोइन्स और हाई-वोल्टेज ड्रामा भी है, लेकिन इतने बड़े स्केल के बावजूद कहानी कमजोर कड़ी साबित होती है। फिल्म की सबसे बड़ी परेशानी इसकी उलझी हुई कहानी और जरूरत से ज्यादा हिंसा है। एक्शन लगातार चलता रहता है, लेकिन इमोशन और किरदारों से जुड़ाव उतना मजबूत नहीं बन पाता। 3 घंटे से ज्यादा की लंबाई भी कई जगह कहानी को खींचती हुई महसूस होती है। कुल मिलाकर, ‘टॉक्सिक’ यश के फैंस के लिए स्टाइल, एक्शन और भव्यता का पूरा पैकेज है, लेकिन अगर आप मजबूत कहानी और गहरे इमोशन की तलाश में हैं, तो फिल्म उम्मीदों पर पूरी तरह खरी नहीं उतरती।
फिल्म की कहानी
कहानी गोवा के ड्रग्स और क्राइम सिंडिकेट की दुनिया में सत्ता, परिवार और बदले के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है। फ्लैशबैक के जरिए कहानी राया (यश) की दुनिया में ले जाती है। एक ऐसा शख्स जिसके लिए हिंसा सबसे बड़ा हथियार है। उसकी बहन गंगा (नयनतारा), जिसने बचपन से उसकी परवरिश की, उसके लिए बहन से कहीं बढ़कर है। राया का अपराध की दुनिया में दबदबा तब और बढ़ता है, जब वह सल्वाडोर (डैरेल डिसिल्वा) के करीब आता है। सल्वाडोर की प्रेमिका (हुमा कुरैशी), उसका भाई (अक्षय ओबेरॉय) और बेटी रेबेका (तारा सुतारिया) भी इसी साजिश और सत्ता के खेल का हिस्सा हैं।
सल्वाडोर अपनी बेटी रेबेका से राया की शादी करके इस क्राइम सिंडिकेट को और पुख्ता करना चाहता है। राया भी इसके लिए राजी है। लेकिन राया की जिंदगी तब करवट लेती है, जब उसकी मुलाकात सर्कस की खतरनाक और दिलकश कलाकार नादिया (कियारा आडवाणी) से होती है। दोनों के बीच पनपे जुनूनी प्यार की उन्हें इतनी बड़ी कीमत चुकानी पड़ते है कि सबकुछ तहस-नहस हो जाता है।

Mr. Amitabh Bachchan Reveals His Favourite Jagjit Singh Ghazal on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18
XX August 2026, Mumbai: On Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, a conversation about ghazals turned into a memorable tribute to poetry, music and the creative process. While interacting with contestant Anuj Bhatnakar, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan spoke about his admiration for legendary ghazal singer Jagjit Singh and shared one of his favourite compositions.
The exchange began when contestant Anuj Bhatnakar revealed that after a stressful day at work, he unwinds by listening to ghazals. Calling himself a fan of Jagjit Singh, Contestant Anuj Bhatnakar even recited a ghazal before asking Mr. Amitabh Bachchan about his favourite Jagjit Singh composition.
Mr. Amitabh Bachchan replied, “Bohot saari ghazal hum sunte rehte hain, kabhi-kabhi sangeet wagairah hota hai. Ek unki hai, ‘Aahista Aahista’ wali, woh bohot sundar hai. Woh ek mujhe bohot pasand hai.”
Contestant Anuj Bhatnakar then asked Mr. Amitabh Bachchan if he had any fond memories of Jagjit Singh, especially since both Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, have worked with the legendary ghazal singer over the years.
Reflecting on those interactions, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan shared, “Sir, woh kya hain ki, kai mulaqatein hoti thi, aur jo log creative kaam karte hain, aur jo likhne ka kaam karte hain, jo lekhan karte hain aur uska uchcharan karte hain, toh unmein kahin na kahin jaa kar milan hota hai. Kabhi milne ka avsar milta hai toh ek doosre se poochte hain, ‘Aapne yeh kyun likha?’ Phir woh poochha jaata hai, ‘Aapne esse kyun gaaya?’ Kyunki dekhiye, jo kavita likhi jaati hai na, usmein kahin na kahin ek chhupa hua sur hota hai. Tabhi jaa kar woh kavita banti hai. Kyunki aakhir ke jo shabd hain, woh agli line se judne chahiye, milne chahiye. Agar aap koi bhi kavita theek se padhiye, toh usmein aapko ek lay milegi. Aur jo gaayak hote hain, woh iss lay ko pehchaante hain, aur usse pehchaan kar hi woh apna geet gaate hain.”
The thoughtful conversation offered viewers a rare glimpse into Mr. Amitabh Bachchan’s deep appreciation for poetry and ghazals, while celebrating the timeless legacy of Jagjit Singh and the enduring relationship between words, rhythm and music.
Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, airs from Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.

Strengthening the Circular Textile Economy”: Hon’ble Union Minister of Textiles, Giriraj Singh Applauds ReFiber–Textile Recovery Facility Partnership for Digital Collection of Used Clothes
Mumbai, August 2026: ReFiber, a technology-enabled post-consumer textile collection and recovery company powered by OterRi, has entered into a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Textile Recovery Facility (TRF), Belapur, Navi Mumbai, to strengthen technology-led digital collection of used clothes and build more structured pathways for post-consumer textiles to enter the recovery ecosystem. The LoI was signed on behalf of ReFiber by Mr. Manoj Wanvari, COO, ReFiber, powered by OterRi.
The signing, held in the presence of Shri Giriraj Singh, Hon’ble Union Minister of Textiles, and Ms. Vrunda Manohar Desai, Textile Commissioner, marks an important step in ReFiber’s continued efforts to strengthen the first mile of textile circularity, the organised collection of post-consumer textiles and their movement towards repurposing, upcycling and recycling.
The LoI signing took place at the Textile Recovery Facility in Belapur alongside the inauguration of the Mati thrift store, an initiative under Punarsutra – Crafting Circular Change. As part of efforts to promote circularity in post-consumer textiles, the Textiles Committee, in collaboration with Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC), SBI Foundation, IDH India and Tisser Artisan Trust, is implementing a project focused on managing post-consumer textiles across the NMMC area. The initiative aims to cover a population of approximately 16 lakh people, create thousands of livelihood opportunities, and enable the conversion of post-consumer textiles into sustainable textiles, contributing to a stronger Circular Textile Economy.
For ReFiber, the collaboration adds momentum to its efforts to strengthen the first mile of textile circularity, the collection of textiles after consumer use. ReFiber launched its technology-led post-consumer textile collection initiative on 5 June 2026, on World Environment Day, with a focus on making the collection of old and discarded clothes more accessible, organised and traceable.
Through scheduled doorstep collection, digital verification and tracking, ReFiber is building greater visibility across the collection process and enabling collected textiles to be directed towards appropriate reuse, upcycling and recycling pathways. ReFiber has also developed and launched its Upcycle Marketplace, enabling recovered textiles to be transformed into upcycled products and creating further opportunities for them to return to productive
Shri Giriraj Singh, Hon’ble Union Minister for Textiles, said, “The exchange of the Letter of Intent between TRF, Navi Mumbai and ReFiber for the digital collection of used clothes is a commendable initiative and an important step towards strengthening India’s Circular Textile Economy. I appreciate this collaborative effort to bring greater organisation and technology into the collection and recovery of post-consumer textiles.”
Ms. Vrunda Manohar Desai, Textile Commissioner, Maharashtra Government, said, “India’s transition towards a circular textile economy requires stronger systems for the collection and recovery of post-consumer textiles. ReFiber’s technology-led approach is a commendable step towards making textile collection more organised, accessible and traceable. Such collaborations are important in creating a more connected ecosystem where used textiles can be channelled towards reuse, upcycling and recycling, rather than being lost from the circular economy.”
Shri Shrikant Bhangdiya, Chairman, ReFiber, said, “We are grateful to Shri Giriraj Singh ji and extend our special thanks to Ms. Vrunda Manohar Desai ji for encouraging this collaboration and for recognising the importance of organised post-consumer textile collection. At ReFiber, we believe that building a circular textile economy requires us to strengthen the journey of a garment from the point of disposal onwards. This Letter of Intent is an important step in that direction. We look forward to working with the Textile Recovery Facility and our ecosystem partners to make technology-led collection more accessible and take this model to more cities and communities across India.”
The occasion brought together stakeholders from the Ministry of Textiles, Textiles Committee, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation and the wider textile circularity ecosystem. The event was attended by Dr. Tapan Kumar Rout, Director, Textiles Committee, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, whose presence highlighted the importance of institutional collaboration in strengthening textile recovery systems.
The event also acknowledged the presence of Dr. Kailas Shinde, IAS, Municipal Commissioner, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC), reflecting the important role of municipal bodies in developing effective systems for post-consumer textile collection and recovery. Dr. Megha Phansalkar, Founder, Tisser Artisan Trust, has been a consistent supporter of ReFiber’s efforts to strengthen post-consumer textile collection and build a more connected circular textile ecosystem. Mr. Manoj Wanvari, COO, ReFiber, has also been closely involved in advancing the company’s technology-led collection efforts and strengthening collaborations across the textile circularity ecosystem.
