have teamed up for the upcoming film "Tu Yaa Mai."
Filmmaker Aanand L. Rai's production house Colour Yellow has joined forces with Vinod Bhanushali's Bhanushali Studios Limited to produce a slate of films championing fresh voices and genre-defying storytelling.
The first film to be announced under this banner is "Tu Yaa Mai," which aims set to stretch the boundaries of how stories are told on the big screen.
The film, directed by Bejoy Nambiar, will blend romance with survival in a gripping, genre-defying narrative. Sharing his thoughts, Aanand Rai said, "With every film, we want to stretch the boundaries of what stories can feel like. Tu Yaa Main is a bold and surprising new step in that direction.
I'm excited to begin this collaboration with Bhanushali Studios, who share our belief in discovering the unexpected."
Vinod Bhanushali added, "At the heart of everything we do is the desire to tell stories that truly move people. This partnership with Colour Yellow is built on a shared passion for creative risk and meaningful content. With Tu Yaa Main, we're diving into something exhilarating, emotional, and exceptionally bold."

The film is being backed by producers Aanand L. Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Vinod Bhanushali, and Kamlesh Bhanushali. The upcoming film is slated for a theatrical release on Valentine's Day 2026.
Earlier, in March, the makers had released the teaser of the film on social media, and it hinted at a compelling contrast between the lead pair-Shanaya and Gourav-rooted in their socio-economic backgrounds. The thriller will feature Gourav and Kapoor as social media influencers who find themselves in a terrifying fight for survival as they attempt to escape a deadly, man-eating crocodile.
Meanwhile, Shanaya Kapoor recently marked her acting debut with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opposite Vikrant Massey. Directed by Santosh Singh, the romantic musical was released in theatres on 11 July.

Mumbai's Friendship Day gets a playful spin with board games

This Friendship Day, Mumbaikars are swapping loud night-outs for dice rolls, strategy cards, and endless laughter at the city's buzzing board game cafés. From classic favourites to quirky new challenges, these cosy hangouts are turning into the ultimate spots where friends bond over battles of wit, fun, and nostalgia—proving that the best memories are made across a shared game board. 'It's not just about coffee anymore, it's about bonding' The idea is to have a cosy, accessible hangout spot where stepping in for a game and a coffee with your buddies feels like the most natural thing, says Ajay Sachde, founder of a board game cafe in Juhu. He says, 'Indoor games have always been a huge part of our childhood and life in general — from playing carrom and ludo during summer vacations to daily game rituals with friends. From game collectors who suggested rare titles, to regulars who brought in their own games and hosted open-table nights — this community gave our idea life. It's not just about coffee anymore; it's about bonding, laughter, recharging your spirit and catching up with friends while enjoying fun games.' 'Board games are popular across age groups' There are no age restrictions at these board game cafes, friend groups of all ages can join in and there's something for everyone. Garima Bagrecha, owner of a board game cafe in Andheri says, 'People really enjoy being away from screens and indulging in board games. Digital detox and having a good time with your friends is possible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doctors Shocked: This Common Spice Burns Fat While You Sleep Your Health Undo We have more than 300 games and board games are popular among all ages groups, so anyone can join in.

Calligraphy a therapeutic & creative pursuit for women

Mumbai: A few years ago, Hajra Aijaz Farahi faced a personal crisis. Negative thoughts weighed her down, and bouts of nervousness began affecting her productivity. Then, a computer teacher and her elder sister suggested she learn calligraphy. Next, she walked into senior calligrapher Mehmood Shaikh's calligraphy class in Jogeshwari West. "I went there just to see what it's about as I did not know anything about this art," says Farahi, an Arts graduate from Bhavan's College, Andheri West. She fell in love with this beautiful art instantly. As she picked up the pointed pen and began giving strokes, it calmed her nerves and restored her confidence. "It worked like magic. I got involved in it so deeply that I forgot the worries that nagged me endlessly," says Farahi, now a trained calligrapher whose recent show at Islam Gymkhana received huge admiration from viewers. Apart from attending Shaikh's classes at Jogeshwari, Farahi honed her skills also at senior calligrapher Aslam Kiratpuri's classes at Mumbai University's Kalina campus.

Students, homemakers, professionals, and women from diverse backgrounds are learning it. "Social media has enhanced scope in calligraphy. More and more people, especially girls, are learning it," informs Mazgaon-based senior artist and calligrapher Salva Rasool. She says calligraphy brings the artists closer to their creators. Learning it online may not give the desired perfection. You need hand-holding by an ustad. "I first learnt it from an ustad in Bengaluru, then approached a master calligrapher in China, and a calligrapher in Istanbul (Turkey) is my latest ustad. Calligraphy during the Ottoman rule was an evolved and fabulously popular art, and I want to dive deep into it," says Rasool, a J J School of Art graduate whose works decorate private homes and pilgrim guesthouses, from Mumbai to Panjim, Cairo to Karbala (Iraq). And if you think only Muslim men or women are learning it, meet Kritika Shrivastava, an artist engaged in creating Urdu fonts. Originally from Lucknow, this city-based artist became fascinated by the very lettering that calligraphy deals with. "I grew up imbibing the composite culture of Lucknow and was exposed to the sweetness of Urdu quite early. But then I realised that calligraphy could help me appreciate the language better. Mehmood Shaikh Sir has been a great guide," says Shrivastava. "She has shown great diligence and picked it up fast," appreciates Shaikh, a calligraphy teacher in the city for nearly four decades. Shaikh's student, Taniya Javed Shaikh, says she found her "mentor" online. "It helped me concentrate more on my studies. This art needs encouragement as opportunities have opened in it," says the Commerce graduate.
