*A Love Story That Deserved to Be Seen—but Never Got the Chance* Imagine an album featuring five of India’s top singers, filled with songs of love, heartbreak, pain, separation, youthful exuberance and celebration. Now imagine a film about college life and the years that follow: nostalgic, relatable and rooted in friendship and the search for love. It sounds like the kind of story that should find an audience at the box office. Yet, unfortunately, that was not the case with *Prem Keetanu*. Released on October 2, the film received a muted box-office response. It was not given the opportunity it deserved. Love stories have long defined generations of superstars, yet this one struggled to attract enough viewers to sustain its theatrical run. Romance has traditionally been one of Hindi cinema’s safest genres. So why is it struggling at the box office? Have audiences become so accustomed to franchises, sequels, familiar stories and familiar characters that they are less willing to give new narratives a chance? There was a time when films such as *Pyaar Ka Punchnama*, *F.A.L.T.U.* and *Ishaqzaade* could draw audiences to cinemas. Lately, however, that has become less common. Films that might once have defined young adulthood seem to be losing their box-office appeal. Is this a problem specific to *Prem Keetanu*, or does it reflect a broader challenge for a genre that has traditionally appealed to young audiences? There may be several reasons. Perhaps the cast did not feel compelling enough to audiences. The clash with *Drishyam* may also have worked against it. Despite largely positive reviews describing the film as entertaining, relatable and nostalgic—and praising its music—it failed to generate the expected response. What explains that disconnect? Could the expansion of streaming be part of the answer? Has this genre moved primarily to streaming, even though romantic dramas have not been among the platform’s most prominent favourites, where thrillers have often made a stronger mark? Or are young viewers, exposed to more international content, less inclined to give local stories a chance? Have their tastes and viewing habits changed? Ticket affordability may also be a factor. Rising prices appear to be influencing what people choose to watch. Are audiences now saving cinema visits for event films? With a few exceptions, such as Hanuman Ansh, theatrical viewing seems increasingly concentrated around major stars and tentpole releases. The reasons may be many, but *Prem Keetanu* deserved a chance. At its heart is a familiar, everyday story: a young man facing joblessness, falling in love and choosing between his career and the woman he loves—or trying to pursue both. The film explores insecurity, the complexities of growing up in a middle-class household and the challenges of finding one’s way, while still offering an entertaining package. It deserved to be tested in cinemas. The irony is that the very audience that might enjoy these qualities belongs to a generation accustomed to watching such films at home. A sizeable theatrical Hindi audience still exists. Ormax estimates that urban India has 28.5 million regular Hindi cinema-goers. Viewers under 30 account for 57 per cent of Hindi box-office revenue and as much as 70 per cent of first-day box office. Young audiences are precisely the viewers films like *Prem Keetanu* need to bring back, especially for genres that do not automatically come with the draw of spectacle or a major franchise. The question, then, is not whether people have stopped enjoying sweet, sincere films. It is whether those films can still persuade audiences that they are worth paying to see in a theatre. *Prem Keetanu* puts that question on the table: can a simple story about college, friendship and love still compete for audiences’ money when an entire library of entertainment is waiting at home? For Hindi romantic comedies, that may be the real battle now. They are competing with an increasingly attractive alternative: staying home and waiting for the film to arrive there.

मुंबई: अभिनेता और फिटनेस आइकन साहिल खान ने हाल ही में मुंबई में वन लाइफ द्वारा प्रस्तुत सिक्स सेंस एनर्जी ड्रिंक के एक एक्सक्लूसिव प्रमोशनल इवेंट में शिरकत की, जहां फिटनेस, मनोरंजन और लाइफस्टाइल का संगम देखने को मिला। इस हाई-एनर्जी शाम ने मीडिया और फिटनेस प्रेमियों का ध्यान अपनी ओर खींचा।

कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत ब्रांड फोटोशूट से हुई, जिसमें साहिल खान सिक्स सेंस से जुड़ी टॉप मॉडल्स के साथ नजर आए। उनके दमदार फिजीक और एनर्जेटिक अंदाज ने फोटोग्राफरों और पैपराजी के कैमरों को खूब आकर्षित किया। फोटोशूट के बाद आयोजित प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में साहिल ने मीडिया से खुलकर बातचीत की। प्रेस वार्ता के दौरान साहिल खान ने ब्रांड के साथ अपने जुड़ाव, अपनी फिटनेस जर्नी और एंटरटेनमेंट से बिजनेस तक के सफर पर अपने विचार साझा किए। उन्होंने कहा कि सिक्स सेंस एनर्जी ड्रिंक युवाओं की एनर्जी और एक्टिव लाइफस्टाइल को रिप्रेजेंट करता है, जिससे उनका जुड़ाव एकदम स्वाभाविक है। गौरतलब है कि साहिल खान ने फिल्मों से परे फिटनेस, बॉडीबिल्डिंग और एंटरप्रेन्योरशिप में अपनी एक अलग पहचान बनाई है। फिटनेस कल्चर के साथ उनका नाम पिछले कई वर्षों से मजबूती से जुड़ा हुआ है, यही वजह है कि इस कैंपेन के लिए उनकी मौजूदगी को परफेक्ट माना जा रहा है। इस इवेंट के जरिए साहिल ने एक बार फिर साबित किया कि वह सिर्फ एक अभिनेता ही नहीं, बल्कि यूथ के लिए फिटनेस इंस्पिरेशन भी हैं। सोशल मीडिया से लेकर एंटरटेनमेंट प्लेटफॉर्म तक उनकी सक्रियता और फैंस के साथ उनका कनेक्शन लगातार बना हुआ है। आयोजकों के अनुसार, साहिल खान के साथ यह कोलैबोरेशन ब्रांड को नई ऊंचाई देगा। इवेंट का समापन मीडिया इंटरैक्शन के साथ हुआ, जहां साहिल ने अपने आने वाले प्रोजेक्ट्स की भी झलक दी।

*From Television to Cinema: 7 Milestones That Define Sharad Kelkar’s Incredible Journey* Sharad Kelkar has had a rather interesting journey in the entertainment industry. He started out on television, slowly made his way into films and went on to become a familiar face across Hindi and Marathi cinema. Along the way, he also became one of the most recognisable voices in the industry. On his birthday, here’s a look at seven important milestones that have shaped Sharad Kelkar’s journey over the years. 1. His Television Beginning Before becoming a name in films, Sharad Kelkar was already a known face on television. Shows like Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar and Bairi Piya gave audiences a chance to see him in different roles and helped him establish himself as an actor. Television played a key role in shaping the performer audiences would eventually see on the big screen. 2. Making the Move to Films The transition from television to films can be a difficult one, but Sharad managed to make the shift steadily. Rather than being limited to one kind of role, he kept taking up different characters and gradually became a familiar presence in Hindi films. 3. His Marathi Cinema Journey Sharad has also been an important part of Marathi cinema. Films like Lai Bhaari and Har Har Mahadev gave him opportunities to take on strong, rooted characters. His work in Marathi films also showed his comfort with performances that require a certain physicality and intensity. 4. Playing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Tanhaji One of the biggest roles of his career came with Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, where he played Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It was a character that came with its own expectations, and Sharad brought the required dignity and authority to the part. The film went on to become one of the major successes of his career. 5. The Voice Behind Baahubali For many viewers, Sharad Kelkar’s voice became synonymous with Prabhas’ Baahubali in the Hindi version of the franchise. His deep and distinctive voice added to the larger-than-life feel of the character and became one of the most talked-about aspects of the Hindi dubbed version. It also established him as a voice artist in his own right. 6. Taking on Different Shades Through OTT OTT has given Sharad Kelkar another space to explore different kinds of characters. From The Family Man and Bambai Meri Jaan to The Freelancer and Indian Police Force, he has continued to experiment with roles across genres. His OTT appearances have added another layer to his filmography and allowed him to take on characters with different shades and personalities. 7. A Career That Has Never Stayed in One Lane Perhaps the most interesting part of Sharad Kelkar’s career is the variety. Television, Hindi films, Marathi cinema, OTT and voice acting — he has moved between mediums without being tied to one particular image. From playing historical figures to more contemporary characters, he has continued to take on roles that keep his career evolving. After years in the industry, Sharad Kelkar has built a body of work that goes beyond just one medium or one kind of character. And that ability to keep experimenting is what makes his journey worth looking back on as he celebrates another birthday.
