This Is the Story of an Idea That Many Tried to Erase: Ajay Devgn Endorses Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh on RSS’s 100 Years The much-awaited teaser of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh, a film commemorating 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has been unveiled, drawing attention across the country. Timed with the Sangh completing a century since its founding, the film traces its long journey, ideology, and contribution to national life. The teaser has sparked widespread discussion, with several prominent voices reacting to the project. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev had earlier expressed his support, and now actor Ajay Devgn has also publicly endorsed Shatak, adding to the growing buzz. While attempts have been made in the past to portray the Sangh on screen, Shatak marks the first time such a cinematic effort has received open encouragement and support from within the organisation’s ecosystem. Congratulating the RSS on completing 100 years, Ajay Devgn wrote in his tweet, "RSS ko sau saal poore hone par dher saari badhaaiyan! Inn sau saalon mein rashtra nirmaan mein sangh ka bada yogdaan raha hai. Iss kaam par aur roshni daalne aa rahi hai film #Shatak. Yeh rahi uski pehli jhalak. Shatak ke sampurn team ko meri ore se dher saari shubhkamnaye!” (Heartfelt congratulations to the RSS on completing 100 years. Over the past century, the Sangh has played a significant role in nation-building. The film Shatak seeks to highlight this journey. Here’s a first glimpse. Best wishes to the entire team behind the film.) Earlier, the song 'Bhagwa Hai Apni Pehchaan' from the film was unveiled at the RSS headquarters, Keshav Kunj in Delhi, by RSS chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat and in the presence of Shri Bhaiya ji Joshi, who gave his blessings to the film during the launch. Opening with the line, “This is the story of an idea that many tried to erase again and again over the years,” the teaser signals the film’s intent to address long-standing confusions, criticisms, and misunderstandings surrounding the Sangh by placing them in a historical and factual context. It brings to the fore foundational figures whose contributions were central but seldom acknowledged, such as Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and Guruji Madhav Sadashivrao Golwalkar, alongside leaders such as Lokmanya Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi. The teaser also touches upon the Sangh’s role during defining moments of Indian history, from the freedom movement to the Emergency. Directed by Aashish Mall and produced by Vir Kapur, the film is described by Mall as a deeply personal project. “This film has been like a personal journey for me. While working on it, many aspects related to the Sangh came to light that are rarely discussed. Our main aim was to honestly address the misunderstandings that exist in society.”

Indie Artist Prabhanjan Unveils First Look of His Upcoming Afro-Desi Single ‘Thugwa’

Indie artist Prabhanjan has unveiled the first look of his upcoming Afro-Desi single Thugwa, sparking excitement among music lovers and indie audiences alike. The fresh visual offers a glimpse into the vibrant, carefree world of the track, which promises a global sound rooted in Indian musical sensibilities. Set to release soon, Thugwa is produced by Buki and is described as an energetic Afro four-on-the-floor track that blends infectious Afro-pop rhythms with a playful desi Hindi hook. The song captures the story of a charming, emotionally unavailable man — smooth talker, manipulative , confident. With its cheeky narrative, flirtatious undertones, and dancefloor-ready beats, Thugwa reflects modern relationship where the guy tries to talk his way out with a clingy girl avoiding serious conversations in a fun and relatable way. Prabhanjan’s musical journey is deeply rooted in Hindustani classical music, which he began studying at the age of 16. A graduate in Hindustani Classical Music from Delhi University, he also trained in sound engineering, allowing him to balance tradition with modern production techniques. Over the years, he has built a strong indie identity through multilingual releases in Hindi, Kannada, and Punjabi, known for their emotional depth and global sonic appeal. He is best known for his popular tracks Milte Rahe, Gir Jaane De, Fareb & Soya Jaye Na which played a key role in establishing his presence in the indie music space and earned him a loyal listener base. His music often blends classical melodies with R&B, pop, and indie influences, giving his work both a nostalgic resonance and a contemporary edge. With Thugwa, Prabhanjan takes a confident step forward in his artistic evolution, experimenting with Afro rhythms while staying true to his Indian roots. The first look has already generated curiosity, and the upcoming release is expected to further strengthen his positioning as one of the most promising voices in the indie music scene.

From Karampura to the World: NDTV Good Times Brings Yo Yo Honey Singh’s ‘My Story’ Back to India January 24, 2026: The ‘Yo Yo Golden Ticket’ campaign opens the stage to fans, offering exclusive moments with Honey Singh across the India tour After months of anticipation, pop icon and one of India’s most followed artistes, Yo Yo Honey Singh, has returned to the live stage with My Story – the India chapter of his World Tour - curated by NDTV Good Times. Mounted as a high-impact and deeply personal experience, the tour brings together music, memory, and defining moments from a journey that has shaped India’s contemporary pop culture. The tour opens in Delhi on March 14, before travelling to Ahmedabad (March 21), Mumbai (March 28), Pune (April 4), and Kota (April 11). Additional cities are expected to be announced, extending the tour’s national footprint in the weeks ahead. Unlike a conventional concert format, My Story has been imagined as a narrative-led live experience. Alongside his performances, Honey Singh will revisit key phases of his musical journey - sharing anecdotes, reflecting on time away from the spotlight, and offering insight into the stories and circumstances behind several of his most popular tracks. The format allows audiences to engage not only with the music but with the journey that shaped it. Adding a special fan-centric chapter to the India tour, NDTV Good Times is introducing the ‘Yo Yo Golden Ticket’ campaign, running from January 23 to January 26 evening. As part of the campaign, fans who purchase tickets between January 24 and January 26 will stand a chance to become part of Honey Singh’s personal My Story journey. In Delhi, one lucky ticket buyer will receive a special piece from Honey Singh’s personal wardrobe - a symbolic gesture as he returns to perform in his hometown on March 14, just a day before his birthday on March 15. Across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune and Kota, one fan from each city will get the opportunity to join Honey Singh on stage, click a selfie, and receive a signed autograph - creating once-in-a-lifetime memories. Designed as a tribute to the fans who have been part of his journey, the Golden Ticket campaign invites audiences to step into the world of My Story and become a living chapter in the narrative. Emphasising the experiential vision behind the tour, Rahul Shaw, Chief Experiences Officer, NDTV said, ‘The My Story Tour is designed as an experience. It brings together music, memory, and narrative in a way that allows audiences to engage with the artist beyond the stage.’ Each city on the tour will feature a specially crafted show, with storytelling woven seamlessly into the performance. While the musical core remains consistent, the narrative elements will adapt to the city and the audience, creating an experience that feels immersive and personal. The emphasis is on connection — between artist and audience, past and present. Speaking about the tour, Honey Singh said, ‘This tour brings together many chapters of my life and career. It’s a chance to share the journey through music and the stories behind it. Starting in Delhi is special for me, because that’s where everything began.’ Beginning the India chapter in Delhi carries particular significance. For Honey Singh, the city represents both personal and professional origins, making it a fitting starting point for a tour built around reflection and return.
