<p>Speaking about the film, <b>Tetsuo Yajima, Director of <i>Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil</i>, </b>said: “<i>Hello, everyone in India. I’m Tetsuo Yajima, the director. I’m truly delighted to bring Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil to audiences in India. 10,928 meters &#8211; the deepest point in the ocean ever reached by humankind. Only 13 people have actually gone there; apparently fewer than the number of people who have travelled to space. And beyond that unknown world lies something even further beyond. What kinds of creatures might live there? What breathtaking sights might await us? Doesn’t it make you excited just thinking about it? Let’s join Doraemon and his friends on an adventure into a deep-sea world that no one has ever seen before! I look forward to seeing you at the theatre.”</i></p>
<p>The movie campaign has established a strong out-of-home &amp; digital presence across key markets, complemented by branded buses and auto-rickshaws that bring the iconic blue character to the streets. A dedicated school contact programme is connecting the film with its core audience of children and families, while a special association with Kidzania brings the world of Doraemon to life through an immersive edutainment experience.</p>
<p>The campaign further extends across digital, radio, experiential and retail touchpoints, creating a sustained build-up to the theatrical release. With Doraemon having been part of Indian childhoods for generations, the campaign has been designed to combine nostalgia for longtime fans with a fresh cinematic experience for a new generation.</p>
<p>The film marks the 45<sup>th</sup> theatrical feature in the iconic Doraemon franchise, bringing a new cinematic interpretation of the beloved property to audiences while retaining the familiarity and nostalgia that generations of fans associate with the character.</p>
<p>The campaign momentum was further amplified with the film’s India premiere in Mumbai on September 26, ahead of its nationwide theatrical release. The premiere brought together the film’s producers, influencers, media personalities, children and families for an evening celebrating Doraemon and the upcoming cinematic adventure.</p>
<p>The India launch is being supported by an extensive network of official partners, bringing together expertise across licensing, marketing, digital, outdoor, edutainment, radio and consumer products, including Black White Orange (BWO), Fanthology, Econama, KidZania, RED FM, ANA India, Nitori Japan and Yakult Danone India.  Together, these partnerships extend the Doraemon experience well beyond the cinema, creating multiple touchpoints for fans across India.</p>
<p>With the campaign now rolling out across the country, anticipation is building for Doraemon’s return to the big screen.</p>
<p><b>Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil releases in cinemas across India on October 2, 2026 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, including select 4DX theatres.</b></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mokshitha Pai, Vijay Lalitha Surya and Kavitha Gowda return to television</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bengaluru, September 25, 2026:</strong> Known for bringing diverse and compelling stories to its viewers, Zee Kannada is all set to present yet another fresh narrative with its upcoming show <strong>‘Jagadhathri’</strong>, premiering on <strong>September 28 at 9 PM</strong>. The show revolves around an undercover woman police officer and presents a story that blends family, duty, patriotism, action and love.</p>
<p>Mokshitha Pai takes on the titular role of Jagadhathri, a police officer who balances her responsibilities at home while taking on criminals outside. The story follows her journey as she sets out to clear the name of her mother, a true patriot who has been accused of treason. Despite facing harsh words and challenges from her own family, Jagadhathri stands strong in her fight to seek justice for her mother.</p>
<p>Jagadhathri is both the <strong>light that keeps her family together and the flame that stands against those who do wrong</strong>. Crafted for a new generation of viewers, the show brings together a distinctive storyline, powerful characters and a fresh visual treatment, offering an experience unlike conventional television narratives.</p>
<p>Recently, a duet featuring <strong>Mokshitha Pai and Vijay Lalitha Surya</strong> has been creating a buzz on social media with the <strong>‘Jagadhathri Hook Step’</strong>. Speaking about his role, Vijay Lalitha Surya said, <strong>“I have not played a character like this in a long time. It feels good to be back in a role that revolves around love and romance.”</strong></p>
<p>Along with Mokshitha Pai and Vijay Lalitha Surya, <strong>Kavitha Gowda</strong> will be seen in a pivotal role. The return of the three popular actors to television has already created excitement among their fans. Mokshitha Pai and Vijay Lalitha Surya will be seen as IPS officers in the show, and their on-screen combination has already been receiving appreciation.</p>
<p>The show features a strong ensemble cast including <strong>Girija Lokesh, Aruna Balaraj, Lakshmi Siddhaiah, Mico Manju, Vachan Hosamath, Ravi Bhat, Sonia Ponnappa and Mansi Sudhir</strong>, among others.</p>
<p>Produced by filmmakers and writers <strong>Mahesh Rao and Prakash</strong>, and directed by <strong>Mahesh Sarang</strong>, ‘Jagadhathri’ is produced under the <strong>Keerthi Akshaya Network</strong> banner. Along with its family-oriented storyline, the show promises high-energy action sequences and a love story between Vijay Lalitha Surya and Mokshitha Pai. The narrative beautifully explores the two contrasting sides of Jagadhathri – a woman who takes care of her family while also standing firmly by her duty as a police officer.</p>
<p><strong>Deepak Sriramulu, Business Head, Zee Kannada,</strong> said, “They say a woman is at the heart of creation. Even today, women navigate different challenges in every household. Jagadhathri too faces her own set of challenges within her family. Yet, she rises above them and takes on the responsibility of protecting the world as a super cop. At Zee Kannada, our aim is to bring stories that portray different challenges and experiences and connect them with Kannada audiences. We have consistently introduced stories that offer something different, and we believe Jagadhathri will give viewers a fresh experience along with engaging and entertaining storytelling.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember the unbridled joy of being seven years old and waiting for a dream to come true? Little Thomas is here to take you back. The makers of the upcoming film starring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal have released its first track, “Do Guna Zindagi by Junglee Music (a division of Times Music),” offering an affectionate glimpse into the world of the Miranda family.</p>
<p>Sung by Raghav Meattle and composed by Aditya N. and Nayantara Bhatkal, with lyrics penned by Suresh Bhatia, the track captures the small everyday victories and quiet hopes of a family in Goa.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-85607 size-full aligncenter" src="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi.jpg" alt="Little Thomas Do Guna Zindagi song" width="1455" height="1455" srcset="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi.jpg 1455w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi-300x300.jpg 300w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi-150x150.jpg 150w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi-768x768.jpg 768w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Do-Guna-Zindagi-960x960.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 1455px) 100vw, 1455px" />The track centers on seven-year-old Thomas (Hridansh Parekh) as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of a baby brother, woven alongside his parents’ shared optimism for a happier life.</p>
<p>Moving beyond typical beachside postcards, “Do Guna Zindagi&#8221; was filmed across picturesque quarters of Fontainhas, Altinho. Saligao, and Margao. The visuals bring alive quiet alleyways, hidden stairways overlooking Portuguese-era houses, and the improvised football pitches on church grounds, evoking the laid-back, susegad spirit and vibrant joie-de-vivre of its colourful and quaint neighbourhoods.</p>
<p>Written and directed by Kaushal Oza, Little Thomas is produced by Anushka Shah, Charu Oza, Rajnikant Oza, Akshay Thakker, Kabir Ahuja, Ranjan Singh and Anurag Kashyap.</p>
<p>The film is slated for a theatrical release on October 23.</p>
<p>“Do Guna Zindagi” is now streaming on all audio platforms. Watch the full video on the Times Music YouTube channel.</p>

Directed by <u>Sonam Nair</u>, <i>Dupahiya</i> season two is created and produced by <u>Salona Bains Joshi</u> and <u>Shubh Shivdasani</u> under the banner of Bombay Film Cartel LLP, and created and written by <u>Avinash Dwivedi</u>, and <u>Chirag Garg</u>. After a successful season 1, the new season returns with its ensemble star cast, featuring <u>Gajraj Rao</u>, <u>Renuka Shahane</u>, <u>Sparsh Shrivastava</u>, <u>Bhuvan Arora</u>, <u>Shivani Raghuvanshi</u>, and <u>Yashpal Sharma</u>, with <u>Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua)</u> joining the team. <i>Dupahiya season two</i> will premiere exclusively on Prime Video across India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide on October 1, 2026.</p>
<p>The greatest testament of success for us is when a story instantly connects with audiences. When the characters start becoming part of dinner-table conversations, we know we&#8217;ve done something right. <i>Dupahiya</i> is a perfect example of this. The first season received so much love from audiences and performed incredibly well on the service,&#8221; said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals (SVOD), Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios India. &#8220;Salona and Shubh&#8217;s creative vision, along with Avinash and Chirag&#8217;s signature writing, have been the driving force behind this series. With our much-loved characters returning for another season of chaos, challenges, and unexpected twists, we&#8217;re looking forward to welcoming our viewers back to Dhadakpur with its simple charm, innocence, and light-hearted spirit.</p>
<p>In a joint statement, Salona Bains Joshi and Shubh Shivdasani, Creators and Executive Producers, shared, “<i>Dupahiya</i> has always been a story close to our hearts. While the narrative is set in rural India, at its core, it is a story about big dreams colliding with everyday chaos- and finding the unexpected humor along the way. We’re grateful to see how the first season resonated with audiences worldwide, and are truly looking forward to taking this story ahead, this time with newer challenges and bigger stakes for the characters we’ve all grown to love. This season is as much about the humor as it is about the heartwarming, emotional moments .  As always, it has been thrilling to collaborate with Prime Video and we’re thankful to them for giving us the space to tell this story and believing in the world we have created. The response to the first season meant a lot to us, and we believe season two will be equally well received by viewers when it premieres on Prime Video.”</p>

<p align="center"><i>Based on Phoolan Devi&#8217;s autobiography, &#8220;I, Phoolan Devi: The Autobiography of India&#8217;s Bandit Queen&#8221; published by Editions Robert Laffont, the film tells the story of a defining chapter from her life, centered on a brutal 48-hour siege in which she defies an armed group of 2,000 men</i></p>
<p><b>TORONTO, September 17, 2026 </b>&#8211;<b> </b>Amazon Original Movie <i>Phoolan</i>, directed and written by acclaimed filmmaker <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1416352/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1416352/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1790078854242000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0y4Ye7kHQSeHGz2Lp8k4vv">Richie Mehta</a>, received a standing ovation from a packed audience of over 2,000 at its World Premiere at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Screened as part of the festival&#8217;s coveted Special Presentation section, the film left audiences deeply moved, drawing unanimous praise from critics and cinephiles alike at the iconic Princess of Wales Theatre — one of Toronto&#8217;s most celebrated cultural landmarks.</p>
<p><i>Phoolan</i> is an action drama that chronicles the extraordinary and tumultuous moment in the life of Phoolan Devi during a 48-hour siege. Based on Phoolan Devi&#8217;s autobiography, “I, Phoolan Devi: The Autobiography of India&#8217;s Bandit Queen published by Editions Robert Laffont”, the film is a visceral account of a young woman who defied every convention imposed upon her and seized her own destiny in a world determined to deny her one.</p>
<p>Speaking about the world premiere, writer-director and producer Richie Mehta said, “Phoolan Devi&#8217;s story is one that demands to be told with honesty, and without compromise. I was drawn to a very specific chapter of Phoolan&#8217;s life, the formative years before the world knew her name, contrasted with the period where she was a misunderstood legend. It felt essential to me to strip away the mythology and reveal the human underneath. The themes at the heart of her story — resilience in the face of adversity, the search for dignity, and the courage to claim one&#8217;s own voice —are timeless. They resonate just as strongly today as they did then, across cultures and geographies. That is why this felt like the right moment to bring her story to the screen. From <i>Poacher</i> to <i>Phoolan</i>, Amazon MGM Studios has been a true creative collaborator, one that backs a filmmaker&#8217;s vision and gives stories like these the global canvas they deserve. To witness the audience at TIFF rise to their feet, visibly moved, tells me that<i> Phoolan</i>&#8216;s story has connected in exactly the way we hoped it would. I hope I have done justice to her voice and her story, the way she wanted the world to know.</p>
<p>Talking about the Premiere, Shilangi Mukherji, Director &amp; Head of SVOD Business, Prime Video, India, said, “Our relationship with Richie Mehta goes back to <i>Poacher</i>, a fiercely personal project that became one of our most critically acclaimed Indian Originals. What defines Richie is his unwavering commitment to truth. He doesn&#8217;t sensationalize; he tells stories with a quiet, unflinching honesty that stays with you long after the credits roll. With <i>Phoolan</i>, backing his vision was instinctive. At Amazon MGM Studios, we believe in the conviction of our filmmakers and their creative freedom to tell stories honestly and Richie exemplifies exactly that. <i>Phoolan</i> is one of those stories carrying a universal theme that transcends borders and languages. We are excited for audiences to experience this film in an authentic way.”</p>
<p>&#8220;<i>Phoolan</i> is an incredibly special film for all of us at Namah Pictures, and seeing it premiere at TIFF is both emotional and a moment of immense pride. This is a story that has lived in our hearts for a long time, a story of courage and the strength of the human spirit. Richie Mehta has brought such honesty and sensitivity to every frame, and Sneha Kumari has delivered a truly remarkable performance as Phoolan that I believe will resonate deeply with audiences”, said Shareen Mantri, Producer, Namah Pictures. “What makes this collaboration special is how each partner brings something distinct to the table. Namah Pictures&#8217; deep connection to Indian stories, Richie Mehta&#8217;s nuanced and sensitive filmmaking, and Amazon MGM Studios&#8217; ability to bring meaningful cinema to a global stage, together, creates the right home for a story like Phoolan&#8217;s. Watching people at TIFF connect with her story reminded me why we made this film. There are stories that belong not just to one person, but to all of humanity. Phoolan&#8217;s life, defined by courage, dignity, and an unbreakable will to survive, is one such story. It is this universality that drives us to carry her narrative forward, using her story as a guiding light for storytelling that truly matters.&#8221;</p>
<p>The World Premiere at the Princess of Wales Theatre was attended by the film&#8217;s cast and creative team. Leading the arrivals was Sneha Kumari, who delivers a breakthrough performance in the titular role of Phoolan Devi, alongside cast members Anurag Thakur, Aakash Dahiya, and Vikram Pratap Singh. They were joined on the red carpet by writer-director-producer Richie Mehta, and producers Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kanwal Kohli, Kishor Arora of Namah Pictures and Shilangi Mukherji, Director &amp; Head of SVOD Business, Prime Video, India, representing Amazon MGM Studios, India, at the prestigious festival.</p>
<p>Produced by Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, Kanwal Kohli and Richie Mehta, <i>Phoolan</i> is a Namah Pictures production. Following its World Premiere at TIFF, the Hindi action drama will premiere on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide soon.</p>
