Mumbai | Feb 13: Age is no barrier when the heart still beats to music. Proving this with grace, enthusiasm, and timeless melodies, Humming Birds a vibrant singing group of senior citizens are set to present a soulful musical evening titled “Dil Chahta Hai” in Mumbai. The group brings together senior citizens ranging in age from 60 to 80 years, united by a shared love for music. The musical evening will be held at Mysore Association Hall, King Circle, Matunga, on 20 February.

Formed by elderly music lovers who have carried their passion for singing across decades, Humming Birds is a celebration of active ageing, creativity, and companionship. Their performances are rooted in nostalgia, yet alive with energy bringing to the stage classic Hindi film songs that continue to resonate across generations.

The evening will feature heartfelt performances by members including Kishor Parulekar, Subodh Ekbote, Pravin Doshi, Suman Gokarn, Rajesh Rane, Jaanvika, Manoj shirsagar, Harsha Mehta and others each lending their voice and lived experience to a thoughtfully curated repertoire.

The repertoire includes timeless favourites originally penned by legendary lyricists such as Sahir Ludhianvi, Gulzar, Anand Bakshi, and Majrooh Sultanpuri, and composed by musical greats like Khayyam, Kalyanji Anandji, Rahul Dev Burman, A.R. Rahman, and Shankar Jaikishan.

Audiences can look forward to evergreen songs such as “Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein,” “Pal Bhar Thehar Jaao,” “Tere Mere Milan Ki Yeh Raina,” “Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye,” “Salame Ishq Meri Jaan,” “Mere Mehboob Na Ja,” and “Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar.” These melodies, reimagined by Humming Birds, promise to evoke deep nostalgia and strike an instant emotional chord with listeners.

Sharing his thoughts, Retired Engineer Pravin Doshi (80), one of the senior members of Humming Birds, said, “Music has been my lifelong companion. At 80, when many believe life should slow down, singing gives me renewed energy and purpose. ‘Humming Birds’ is not just a group it is a family that reminds us every day that passion has no age. When we sing these timeless songs, we relive memories, friendships, and moments that shaped our lives. ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ is our way of telling the world that the heart never grows old.”

Speaking about his performance on Kabhie Kabhie, Subodh Ekbote (65), an interior designer by profession and a member of the group, added, “Performing ‘Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein’ is deeply personal for me. This song has lived with me for decades its poetry, its silences, and its emotions only grow deeper with time. Presenting it with dialogues makes the experience even more powerful, almost like revisiting moments from our own lives. Mukesh’s voice, Sahir Ludhianvi’s words, and Khayyam’s music together remind us that some songs don’t age they mature, just like us.”

At a time when ageing is often associated with slowing down, Humming Birds offers a refreshing and inspiring narrative where creativity continues to thrive, friendships deepen, and passion finds new expression. “Dil Chahta Hai” is more than a musical evening; it is a heartfelt ode to life, memories, and melodies that never fade.

Mumbai audiences can look forward to an evening filled with warmth, nostalgia, and music sung straight from the heart.

“I keep it simple with regular workouts, staying active, and clean eating to do justice to my role as a police officer in the show” says Pooja Katurde of Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible

Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible is winning hearts with its inspiring storytelling and relatable characters. The show beautifully captures the everyday triumphs and challenges of its lead protagonist, Pushpa (Karuna Pandey), making it one of television’s most loved family entertainers. As Pushpa Impossible enters one of its most intense weeks yet, Pooja Katurde’s portrayal of the sharp, no-nonsense police officer and Pushpa’s daughter in law, stands out with striking authenticity.

Pooja Katurde says staying fit is not just about looking the part, but about truly feeling like her character. With intense investigation sequences, physical fitness helps her stay alert and maintain physical stamina and discipline. The actor believes that fitness is essential to her preparation to convincingly portray a uniformed officer and to bring authenticity to her character. For Pooja, fitness has become an important part of understanding her character’s strength and discipline.

Speaking about the experience, Pooja Katurde shares, 

“Wearing the uniform itself puts you in a very different mindset. It automatically demands strength, confidence, and alertness. I knew that to play a police officer, I must stay fit and maintain a certain physique because the role demands it. What the audience sees on screen is a flawless and confident presence, but behind the scenes, I put in immense effort to maintain that for the role. I’m not someone who believes in extreme workouts so I keep it simple with regular workouts, staying active, and clean eating to do justice to my role as a police officer in the show. When your body feels strong, it reflects on screen without you trying too hard.”

Mumbai, Feb 12: Indian hip-hop sensation Panther, known for his raw, honest, and hard-hitting rap, is back with a refreshing musical twist. He unveils a softer, romantic side with his latest single, “Yeh Baatein”, a soulful ballad that celebrates the magic of unspoken words and subtle emotions.

Written and performed by Panther, “Yeh Baatein” follows the philosophy of Less is More. The track combines Panther’s regional roots with global sounds, creating a dreamy, heartfelt composition that captures the beauty of silence in love—the pauses, glances, and half-smiles that speak volumes without words.

A quintessential romantic pop song, “Yeh Baatein” showcases Panther’s shayarana (poetic) prowess, seamlessly blending soul, rhythm, and emotion in his signature style. The song’s hook is instantly memorable, lingering long after the first listen and making it a perfect addition to listeners’ playlists.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Panther shares,

“This song is very close to my heart. I’ve always expressed myself through strong bars and hard rap, but this time I wanted to give something more to the listeners and embrace the softer, more poetic side of me with ‘Yeh Baatein.’ I’m sure my fans will relate to this feeling as well.”

With “Yeh Baatein,” Panther demonstrates his versatility as an artist, moving seamlessly from hard rap bars to tender, heartfelt ballads—proving that the power of music lies not only in lyrics but also in emotion and expression.

Feb 11: &TV has always stood for entertainment that reflects the everyday lives of Indian audiences- stories rooted in warmth, humour, and emotional familiarity. This Valentine’s Day, the channel takes that philosophy beyond television with a thoughtful brand-led initiative that celebrates how love is truly expressed in Indian households.

Titled ‘India ka Love Language’, the campaign is built on a powerful cultural insight: in India, love is often understated. Especially among men, affection is rarely verbalised or expressed. Instead, it is conveyed through small, meaningful gestures, silent support, routine care, shared humour, and actions that speak louder than words. Through this initiative, &TV bridges this emotional gap, encouraging people, particularly men- to express love in simple, tangible ways.

To bring this thought alive, &TV rolled out an on-ground activation across Delhi, where a rose became a simple yet powerful symbol of love, seamlessly integrated into everyday moments. Rather than loud declarations or performative romance, the initiative focused on creating a gentle nudge, prompting individuals to pass on the rose to someone who matters to them. Designed to feel organic and intimate, the gesture reinforced the idea that love does not need an occasion or grand expression to be meaningful.

At the heart of this initiative lies Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0, a show that perfectly embodies &TV’s brand ethos. Known for its playful humour, the show captures relationships where affection is expressed through banter, everyday interactions, and unspoken understanding. This is why the message, “Aapke pyaar ke liye ek anokha tohfa – Sahi pakde hain!”, fits seamlessly, making the show a natural extension of the campaign’s thought.

Speaking about the initiative, Kaveri Das, Chief Channel Officer, &TV and Business Head – Hindi, ZEE5, shared, “At &TV, we believe the most powerful stories are the ones that mirror real life. Love, in our culture, is often quiet, especially when it comes from men who may not always express it in words. Through this Valentine’s Day initiative, we wanted to celebrate that silent affection and encourage people to acknowledge it. Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0 reflects this beautifully, where relationships thrive on humour, warmth, and everyday gestures rather than grand declarations. This campaign is our way of extending that familiar emotion beyond the screen and into people’s lives.”

Celebrate love the Indian way this Valentine’s Day with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! 2.0—only on &TV and ZEE5.

Tarun Khanna to Portray Mahadev in &TV’s Upcoming Divine Dramedy Hey Bhagwaan  Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!

&TV is all set to deepen its promise of delivering light-hearted, relatable, and feel-good entertainment with its upcoming divine dramedy Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!. Set against the spiritual backdrop of Ujjain, the show blends slice-of-life humour, emotional storytelling, and a gentle mythological twist. Adding charm to this unique narrative is known for portraying mythological characters with depth and dignity is veteran actor Tarun Khanna, who steps into the powerful and revered role of Mahadev, bringing divinity closer to everyday human life in a humorous way.

Expressing his excitement about stepping into this divine yet refreshingly human role, Tarun Khanna shares,

“Portraying Mahadev has been an immensely exciting and creatively fulfilling experience for me. This interpretation of Shiva is ruggedly charming, warm, and quietly observant, often amused, and at times gently baffled, by the absurdities of human behaviour. What truly distinguishes him is the way he communicates; through riddles, wit, and references that resonate with today’s generation, making him relatable and approachable in a way audiences haven’t witnessed before. Exploring this lighter, more playful dimension of divinity has been a joy, where Mahadev walks among humans, subtly guiding them, and even brings celestial allies in human form, known only to Mahesh.”

He further adds,

“In real life, I deeply resonate with Shivji’s philosophy. He is called Bholenath, yet his innocence is often misunderstood. He is compassionate and accessible, but also profoundly wise and worldly. Striking that balance is what I strive to bring to the character. In this show, when God himself descends to Earth and begins living like a human, especially in a city like Ujjain, it naturally gives rise to moments that are entertaining, emotional, and deeply thought-provoking. We have seen Mahadev on Mount Kailash, but Mahadev in Ujjain is an experience audiences have never had before. I sincerely hope viewers embark on this journey with us and find it as beautiful as we have while creating it.”

Watch Tarun Khanna as Mahadev in Hey Bhagwaan – Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan!, premiering soon on &TV and streaming exclusively on Hindi Z5.

&TV’s quirky supernatural comedy Gharwali Pedwali continues to add fresh layers of drama, emotion, and humour with the entry of the talented and versatile Sapna Thakur, who steps into the show as Reeta Pandey, a character that promises warmth, maturity, and an interesting new dynamic to the story. Known for her expressive performances and strong screen presence, her entry promises to deepen the emotional fabric of the show while balancing its supernatural chaos.

Sharing her excitement on joining the show, Sapna Thakur aka Reeta says,

“I was instantly drawn to Gharwali Pedwali because of its unique concept and the way it blends humour with emotions. Reeta is a very grounded and graceful character; she is modern in her thinking but deeply values relationships and family bonds. Her entry track itself says so much about her nature. When Jeetu plans a surprise for Saavi and involves Reeta, it shows the trust he places in her and the understanding she brings into the family. I loved how my introduction wasn’t loud or dramatic but warm, emotional, and meaningful.”

Expressing about her entry she further adds, “I relate to Reeta a lot in real life. She is sweet yet slightly sour, fun-loving, and always cheerful, and I feel I share those qualities too. Like her, I believe in modern thinking and constantly try to learn and evolve with time. Comedy was one of the biggest reasons I said yes to this show- I have always loved watching and performing comedy and wanted to explore this genre for a long time. The added fantasy element made it even more exciting, as I truly enjoy imaginative storytelling presented in a light-hearted, entertaining way. What excites me the most is that Reeta adds a new emotional layer to the show. Amid all the chaos of supernatural twists and comedy, she represents calm, clarity, and emotional maturity. I think audiences will relate to her instantly because she reflects real-life relationships, where support, understanding, and unspoken care matter the most. Working with such a talented cast has been a beautiful experience, and the energy on set is truly infectious.”

Known for his uncompromising sonic identity, relentless BPMs and hypnotic grooves, the Berlin-based artist has become a cult favourite across Europe’s most iconic clubs and festivals.

With viral tracks such as Toter Schmetterling, Ihr Werdet Weinen and Weltschmerz, Klangkuenstler has amassed millions of streams worldwide and commanded dance floors from intimate club spaces to major festival stages. His explosive Boiler Room sets and consistently sold-out headline shows have firmly positioned him as a leading force in the global hard techno movement, redefining the genre for a new generation of ravers.

“I feel a special connection to India since my first gig there in 2024. The energy, the curiosity for this music and how passionate the people are is amazing.

This isn’t just about bringing a global techno heavyweight to India—it’s about recognising where the culture is headed and offering fans truly world-class experiences.”

The venue will transform into a living infrastructure of architecture, light and visual storytelling, blurring the boundaries between body and sound.

Widely recognised for its narrative progression, sustained energy and immersive production design, Outworld has established itself as one of the most distinctive conceptual formats in the global techno scene—and this June, it arrives in India for one unforgettable night.

Marathi ZEE5 Brings Renuka Shahane and Abhinay Berde Starrer ‘Uttar’ Home on 13^th February: A Tender Drama About a Mother–Son Relationship Tested by Time

Feb 09: In a world constantly rushing forward, Uttar pauses to ask a question we all quietly avoid—what happens to the things we keep for later? Love left unspoken. Truths postponed. Forgiveness assumed to have time. After touching hearts in theatres with its quiet emotional honesty, Uttar is now set to reach audiences across the country with its World Digital Premiere on Marathi ZEE5 on 13th February.

A deeply moving and intimate human drama, Uttar explores the emotional cost of postponement—of love, connection, forgiveness, and selfhood. Rooted in everyday reality yet universal in its resonance, the film captures those fragile moments when time slips through our fingers and life demands answers we are not prepared to give. Told with sensitivity, restraint, and raw emotional clarity, Uttar lingers long after the final frame, inviting reflection on the moments we defer and the bonds we assume will wait.

At the heart of the film lies a tender, complex mother–son relationship shaped by affection, ambition, and growing silences. Uma, a mother whose warmth quietly holds her family together, and Ninad, a young man moving forward in life while drifting almost unknowingly away from home, find themselves navigating emotional distance without confrontation or blame. Set against the rhythm of contemporary life and generational change, Uttar reflects how relationships often fracture not through conflict, but through waiting—for the right moment, the right words, the right time.

Written and directed by Kshitij Patwardhan, and produced by Zee Studios and Jackpot Entertainment, Uttar stars Renuka Shahane and Abhinay Berde in deeply affecting performances, with Hruta Durgule and Nirmiti Sawant adding further emotional depth. As circumstances bring the mother and son to a crossroads, the film unfolds into a soul-stirring exploration of love, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to finally show up—for one another and for oneself.

Sharing her thoughts on the film, Renuka Shahane said,

“Uma is a character shaped by patience, love and an unspoken hope that things will eventually find their way. Portraying her was deeply moving because her silences speak as loudly as her words. I’m grateful that Uttar is now reaching a wider audience, where its emotions can be felt just as intimately”.

Abhinay Berde added,

“Ninad represents a generation constantly moving forward, often without pausing to examine what we leave behind. Playing him helped me reflect on ambition, emotional distance and the quiet pull of home. I’m glad that Uttar will now connect with audiences on ZEE5”.

Director Kshitij Patwardhan shared,

“Uttar was always meant to feel like life—gentle, unresolved, and deeply human. It’s about moments we postpone, believing there will always be time. The film’s digital premiere allows viewers to engage with its emotional core at their own pace, and I hope it resonates in ways that feel personal and lasting.”

Uttar will stream exclusively on ZEE5 from 13th February 2026
