Sheila Bharat Ram Theatre Festival 2025 kicks off successfully, celebrating Delhi's rich theatre legacy
'This festival isn't just about showcasing good scripts, it's about keeping the fire of live performance alive,' says Hemant Bharat Ram, executive vice president of SRPCA. 'In a world where media consumption has become extremely individualistic and mostly online, theatre stands out as something truly unique.'
The 2025 lineup includes playwright Girish Karnad's celebrated historical dramas Tughlaq and Agni Aur Barkha, Ram Dayal Sharma's folk-infused Daaku Sultana, and the new, contemporary play Stuck by Maneesh Verma. Each brings a different theatrical language to the stage — from epic period drama and musical folk traditions to slice-of-life realism.

Anupamaa EXCLUSIVE: Adrija Roy reacts to male actors being paid more than female leads, 'It's not always easy...'
Anupamaa, the Rupali Ganguly-led daily soap, continues to rank in the top 3 shows due to its engaging storyline. It also features Adrija Roy and Shivam Khajuria in lead roles. Despite the show's engaging storyline, this week Anupamaa failed to rank first due to its poor ratings. In conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija, who plays Raahi, shared her thoughts on the show's low rank. The actress also voiced her opinion against pay disparity in the industry. Adrija Roy states her opinion on pay disparity In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Adrija Roy was asked about her thoughts on male actors getting paid more than the female protagonists. Sharing her unfiltered opinion on this, Adrija said, "It's disheartening that in 2025, we still need to talk about this. I do feel women work equally hard, sometimes even more, considering how emotionally intense many of our roles are." The Anupamaa actor explained how it's not easy to get equal rights in the industry, but emphasized the importance of being vocal about the rights. She said, "It's not always easy, but I think it's important we speak up and push for what we deserve." Adrija portrays the role of Anupamaa's (Rupali Ganguly) daughter. The actress stars opposite Shivam Khajuria, who plays Prem. The actress is lauded for her intense and powerful performance in the show. Her on-screen chemistry with Shivam has garnered a massive fan following. About Adrija Roy's career before Anupamaa Not many know but Adrija Roy has acted in several Bengali TV shows before she stepped into the world of Hindi Television. Adrija's Hindi debut show was Durga Aur Charu, where she played the lead role. However, it was her stint in Imlie that made her a household name. She was applauded for her acting prowess and gained fame too. After Imlie's conclusion, Adrija was roped in to play the female lead in Kundali Bhagya. After this, the actress secured the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. Initially, Alisha Parveen played the role of Raahi in Anupamaa. However, after her departure, Adrija was roped in. Speaking about Anupamaa, the show premiered in 2020 and often ranks in top 5.

Saiyaara Review: No One Does Heartbreak Like Mohit Suri
Music is a time capsule, it takes you to your childhood, your first love, or reminds of how that petrichor feels when you breathe it in. Music can cure, and if not fully, it acts as an analgesic. Mohit Suri's emotional and musical drama Saiyaara may just be the panacea for the Hindi film and exhibition industries' problems. Saiyaara As A Musical Saiyaara is also a plea for film music that we must not let it die. It serves as a reminder to the viewers that "dimaag bhool sakta hai, dil nahin", a line spoken by one of the leads at a key juncture in the movie. A good song that will stand the test of time is the reflection of a moment, a memory. Saiyaara's beats may be familiar, but there's a certain freshness to its treatment. Its soundtrack, consisting of songs such as Saiyaara, Barbaad, and Tum Ho Toh, is both hummable as well as head-bangy. If it takes almost the whole of the music industry (there are seven composers and four lyricists in credits) to build a complete and contemporary music album, it should be made a norm. In a nutshell, first-timers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are (surprisingly) good. There is promise and a fire in the belly to prove their mettle -- that they deserve to be on a big screen, in a traditional Hindi musical, backed by one of the premiere banners in India, Yash Raj Films. The Plot The story is as old as time. Bad boy meets good girl, sparks fly, and then, there's heartbreak, sacrifice, and reunion. And, no one does heartbreak like Mohit Suri. This heartbreak is lifted by rock, emo and grunge music, and this is not a complaint. Had it been a film from the Bhatt camp, where Mohit Suri's roots lie both family and career-wise, Saiyaara would have had at least one death or murder. Since it's a Yash Raj Film, there is a silver lining to this darker cloud. Aneet (Big Girls Don't Lie) plays Vaani Batra, a simple, sweet, 22-year-old who makes notes in her "dear diary" lest she should forget. When her fiance leaves her at the altar, her heart is broken, she goes into a blackhole and loses her voice (metaphorically) as she stops writing. A few months down the road, Vaani meets Krish Batra, a brooding, weed-smoking, tattooed struggling singer Krish Kapoor who pummels a reviewer (*shudders*) for taking all the credit of his band Josh and handing in on a platter to a bade-baap-ki-aulaad, his bandmate. In a cheeky hat-tip to the nepo baby bias, Krish says to the reviewer, "Nepo baby haggenge bhi toh bhi bologe kya haga hai." No need for a reminder but Ahaan Panday is the actor Chunky Panday's nephew and actor Ananya Panday's cousin and the family should be proud. After Krish loses his band Josh and hosh, he finds Vaani and together they are music and lyrics (also the name of a Drew Barrymore movie). Since this is a spoiler-free review, there's another, major Drew Barrymore connection of Saiyaara which the viewer must look out for while watching the film. With Mohit Suri's signature grasp on emotions and music, Saiyaara becomes a love song with convincing performances, very reminiscent of the filmmaker's Zeher, Kalyug, and Aashiqui 2 days. A special mention for Geeta Agrawal Sharma, who has played several mother roles in the last few years in Hindi films such as Laapataa Ladies, 12th Fail, and All Indian Rank. The actor plays Vaani's protective almost obsessive mother who has been given a couple of best lines in the film. She's a class act when she drops one-liners like "Mat baha ye keemti aansoo kisi ullu le patthe ke liye" or "Meri beti time pass nahin hai". When Saiyaara 's trailer dropped, a section of social media users were quick to compare the film with Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2. Saiyaara 's dialogue "Kuch pal baaqi hain mere paas" callback has the ring of Aashiqui 2 's "Suno. Kya? Kuch nahin bas yun hee" to it, and there's a strong possibility that it will become viral on social media, especially with the 20-somethings. How Make A Story About New-Age Leads With Issues And Make It Entertaining Both Krish and Vaani have issues, clearly. Krish, who plays a parent to his alcoholic brawling father (Varun Badola), seeks outside validation of his potential fans until he meets Vaani, who accepts him for who he is. This is a new-age hero who vocally asks for help from the heroine when he needs it desperately. During the course of the film, just like the DP on his smartphone, his priorities also shift in life -- from himself to Vaani. When it comes to Vaani, the biggest win is that she has a job and she's bloody good at it. When she finds out that Krish is keeping his career on the back burner for her, she asks him not to and urges him to chase his dreams. Her ex, who is a lecherous opportunist, keeps popping up in the film's second half and literally acts a trigger to everything that could go wrong with Vaani. When Krish's father finally comes of age, the senior Kapoor tells the junior Kapoor to not repeat his mistakes. "Don't destroy yourself in the name of love," he says. If we go by Saiyaara, we can have both the best of both worlds -- love and career -- in spite of everything. It's difficult to believe that Krish and Vaani's happy ending lasts longer than what is called a hit song today. Maybe Krish and Vaani do live happily ever after, despite all very real problems. I'll part on this note before the hangover of Saiyaara is cured by the real world.

‘Tanvi The Great' movie review: Anupam Kher delivers a hefty dose of hope
About an autistic girl struggling to find her way in a judgmental world, with a spring in her gingerly steps, Tanvi The Great carries the soul of Anupam Kher's popular play, Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai (Anything can happen). It cocks a snook at the cynics and naysayers who question the flight of the dreamers. Surrounded by a supportive mother Vidya (Pallavi Joshi), an autism expert, and a grumpy grandfather, Pratap Raina (Kher), who doesn't understand her condition, the socially awkward Tanvi Raina (debutante Shubhangi Dutt) finds the purpose of her life when she discovers that her soldier father, Samar (Karan Tacker), made the supreme sacrifice for the country. She steps out of the poetic space that her grandfather envisaged for her under the shadow of his friend Raja Sahab (Boman Irani) and resolves to fulfil her father's wish by joining the armed forces. But the rules don't allow an autistic person to enter the troops. Baffled by her guts, the grandfather, who also served in the army, tries to dissuade her but gradually finds that she is different but no less, and is fit to carry forward the family tradition when Major Srinivasan (Arvind Swamy makes a stock character functional) agrees to give shape to Tanvi's dream. Nursing a guilt, in Tanvi's dream, Srinivasan sees an opportunity to redeem himself. Like Kher, the film wears its heart on its sleeve, and the theme offers an interesting battle between one's will and worth. The story has several strands that reveal the warp and weft of the human spirit and its frailties, but the film stays sweet and safe. Kher and his co-writers treat the subject gently and sensitively, but the possibilities on paper don't consistently translate to the screen. Some moments feel genuine, but then some passages seem contrived or laboured. Tanvi's uniqueness either becomes a fodder to evoke humour or an opportunity to put a halo behind her head. Tanvi The Great (Hindi) Director: Anupam Kher Cast: Shubhangi Dutt, Anupam Kher, Arvind Swamy, Pallavi Joshi, Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani, Nassar Runtime: 160 minutes Storyline: An autistic girl sets out to fulfill her father's wish by joining the armed forces. The film, made in collaboration with the NFDC, finds the writers keen on crafting a series of creative responses to a list of FAQs on autism and the Indian armed forces, with a pen that bleeds. There are portions where the writing and form acquire the edifying tone of a public service advertisement. Before the conflict escalates or an obstacle becomes a problem, Kher devises a solution with the background score screaming 'heartfelt.' While MM Keeravani's music and Keiko Nakahara's cinematography are designed to provide a soothing contrast to the emotional outbursts, the quality of the special effects in the climax undermines the emotional swell. Shubhangi makes the stiff and exaggerated body language of Tanvi largely believable. As every autistic person is unique, writers have the liberty to set the contours of Tanvi's character and her journey, but her struggle with her grandfather when her mother leaves them for work feels sanitised. The mess seems dressed up, very much like Pallavi and Jackie Shroff's performance. It goes without saying that Kher is a better actor than director. Amidst all the superficiality, Kher shines as he digs deep to internalise the layers of his character. Much like Aamir Khan's character inSitaare Zameen Par, Kher's character undergoes a transformation in his perception of disability and shows us how to evoke tears without drawing attention to it. He is the reason that you remain invested in Tanvi The Great even when the screenplay turns into a tepid visual essay. Tanvi The Great is currently running in theatres.
