“At Prime Video, we want to continue pushing the boundaries of traditional storytelling and bring nuanced narratives to our customers,” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India. “At the surface ‘Raakh’ is a thriller replete with unexpected turns and high stakes drama. However, at the core this is a highly emotional story that will stay with audiences long after they have finished watching it.

In a wide-ranging conversation at the Apos summit in Bali on Wednesday, senior regional executives from Amazon laid out their vision for the company’s twin-pronged streaming strategy in India, where the tech giant operates both the subscription-based Prime Video platform and the ad-supported service Amazon Mx Player. The dual-service approach, they argued, is key to capturing India’s vast and varied entertainment consumer base.

“India is a really heterogeneous and diverse country with customers having very different needs,” said Gaurav Gandhi, vp of Prime Video for Asia Pacific and Mena. “Prime Video caters to customers who are subscription-ready, who have actually transitioned to streaming as their first or only choice of entertainment. Amazon Mx Player is aimed at customers who are now transitioning from traditional media — TV or they are not subscription-ready yet — though they are still seeking high-quality premium content.”

Amazon is playing a dual-platform game in India’s competitive streaming landscape, with Prime Video targeting subscription-ready consumers while its ad-supported Amazon Mx Player courts viewers transitioning from traditional TV.

Speaking at the Apos conference in Indonesia, Amazon executives outlined their strategy for serving India’s diverse streaming audience through two distinct services. Gaurav Gandhi, VP of Asia Pacific and Mena for Prime Video, explained the rationale behind the approach.

“India is a really heterogeneous and diverse country with customers having very different needs,” Gandhi said during the panel discussion moderated by Vivek Couto of Media Partners Asia, which organizes Apos. “Prime Video caters to customers who are subscription-ready, who have actually transitioned to streaming as their first choice or the only choice of entertainment. While Amazon Mx Player is aimed at customers who are now transitioning from traditional media — TV or are still on it, but are not subscription-ready yet,...

Actor Gailard Sartain, known for his role on the classic TV series Hee Haw, has passed away.

According to an announcement made by The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahama, where his wife sometimes volunteers, Sartain died on Tuesday, June 17, following a long illness. He was 78 years old.

"We are saddened by the loss of Gailard Sartain, an extraordinary actor, artist, and comedian," a Facebook post reads. "His late night visits in the 1970s to the studio after filming Mazeppa are fondly remembered. Gailard's artwork is showcased on the cover of Leon Russell's 1975 album 'Will O’ the Wisp.' Our condolences are with Mary Jo, Gailard's wife and a committed volunteer at The Church Studio."

Hee Haw's Misty Rowe also wrote in a reaction post about the news, "God Bless You Gailard Sartain. You were my brother on Hee Haw Honeys and my friend on Hee Haw for 19 years!

Gailard Sartain, the character actor best known for his role in “The Buddy Holly Story” and his work on variety shows like “Hee Haw,” died Tuesday, June 17, at the age of 78.

Sartain’s death was announced on Facebook by The Church Studio, a Tulsa-based recording studio where the actor and comedian’s wife, Mary Jo, is a frequent volunteer. He is survived by Mary Jo.

A Tulsa native, Sartain was born on Sept. 18, 1946. He began his entertainment career in Tulsa, working first as a cameraman at the local television station where he eventually garnered his first bit of fame for creating and starring in “The Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting,” a late-night comedy show he hosted as the fictional wizard Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi. Working with fellow Tulsa natives, including Gary Busey, Sartain wrote and performed special skits in between the show’s broadcasts of old B-movies.

It was his work as Dr.

Gailard Sartain, the very funny character actor who spent some 20 years on Hee Haw, appeared in three Ernest films with Jim Varney and displayed a flair for the dramatic in The Buddy Holly Story and Mississippi Burning, has died. He was 81.

Kiran Rao – Laapataa Ladies

A comedy-drama film that stayed with us, and gave us performances that are actually raw, and touching. Besides telling the story of two newly-wed brides who inadvertently get exchanged, Laapataa Ladies got its authenticity through Kiran Rao’s directorial lens, female gaze, and the perspective of an ambitious woman hailing from a small town. A gem in its own kind, Laapataa Ladies can be streamed on Netflix.

Zoya Akhtar – Made In Heaven...

Following its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival last year, the critically acclaimed Superboys of Malegaon is now officially streaming on Prime Video, and ahead of its debut, we were able to catch up with producer Zoya Akhtar (Gully Boy; Dahaad; Kho Gaye Hum Kahan) and stars Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger; Extrapolations; Hostel Daze) and Vineet Kumar Singh (Mukkabaaz; Gangs of Wasseypur; Betaal) to talk about the incredible film, which is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name, that adapts the true life story of filmmaker Nasir Shaikh and his friends.

In our conversation, Akhtar talks me through the magic of filmmaking and why this kind of story will always resonate, while Gourav and Singh elaborate on their different approaches for their respective characters, and how they were able to play proper homage to the real-life people while also leaving their own mark on the parts.

The synopsis reads,...

After a rave reception at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival last year and its theatrical launch in late February, the critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama Superboys of Malegaon has arrived on Prime Video, and leading up to its debut, we sat down with director Reema Kagti, breakout star Shashank Arora, writer Varun Grover, and the film's real-life inspiration Nasir Shaikh.

Speaking with the quartet, Kagti explains what initially inspired her to turn the 2008 documentary into a full-fledged feature film and how this particular story can resonate with audiences of all ages.

Grover and Arora also explain how visiting and talking to the people of Malegaon influenced their approaches, as a writer and actor, respectively, and how they were able to bring a real authenticity to the project - something Shaikh can attest to, as while watching the film, he once again found himself transported to that unique period of his life.

The eagerly anticipated fourth season of Prime Video’s “Panchayat” has been set as the popular Indian comedy-drama celebrates its fifth anniversary since its 2020 debut.

Created by The Viral Fever (Tvf), the series has built a devoted following over its first three acclaimed seasons, with its signature blend of rural charm, relatable characters, and heartfelt storytelling. The upcoming installment promises to continue the slice-of-life adventures in the fictional village of Phulera.

“Panchayat” follows Abhishek, an engineering graduate who accepts a job as secretary at a village panchayat (council) office in rural Uttar Pradesh, northern India, due to limited career opportunities. Season 4 will see the character and Phulera’s colorful residents tackling new challenges with the show’s trademark humor and poignancy.

Deepak Kumar Mishra returns to direct the series from scripts by Chandan Kumar. The full ensemble cast is confirmed to be back, including Jitendra Kumar as Abhishek, the reluctant panchayat secretary,...

Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Part 7 Steel Ball Run is on the horizon, and from what fans of the manga already know, it may be the best-animated adaptation of Araki's famous Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. But many fans also know one confusing aspect of the series, where it takes place in Jojo's Bizzare Adventure timeline. Rather than continuing the timeline with another descendant of the Joestar bloodline, the series goes back to the 1800s in an entirely new setting.

This decision initially confused many fans, who wondered if the series was a reboot or a new timeline. The answer is more complicated than some fans expect, but there is an answer to whether Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Steel Ball Run takes place in an alternate universe.

What Is the Plot of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Steel Ball Run? Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Part 7 is Set in 1890

Amazon MGM Studios is bringing its festival circuit hit “Superboys of Malegaon” to theaters.

The Indian film, which gained acclaim at the Toronto, London, Palm Springs and Red Sea fests in 2024, will see a multi-territory release across India, U.S., U.K., U.A.E., Australia and New Zealand before landing on Prime Video.

Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Reema Kagti and penned by Varun Grover, the pic tells the true story of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the small Maharashtra town of Malegaon. The narrative follows Shaikh’s journey as he rallies his friends to create homegrown cinema for their community, offering a glimpse into how grassroots filmmaking can transform a small town’s spirit.

“Following a group of small-town, DIY Indian filmmakers, Reema Kagti‘s ‘Superboys of Malegaon’ is a moving crowd-pleaser that constantly reaffirms its importance through its central theme,” wrote Siddhant Aflakha, reviewing the film for Variety.

The company has just unveiled Taira Malaney’s “Turtle Walker,” a documentary chronicling the extraordinary journey of conservationist Satish Bhaskar, who walked nearly the entire coast of India in his efforts to protect sea turtles. Akhtar says, “He’s such a hero that doesn’t think he’s a hero. He just walked nearly the entire coast of India, which helped the sea turtle not go into extinction. I mean, it’s such a big story, and he’s just one guy.” The film, which will premiere at Doc NYC, won the prestigious Grand Teton Award at the Jackson Wild Media Awards.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's sixth part, Stone Ocean, has an incredibly controversial endingbut a very different conclusion could have been in the works. Netflix's adaptation of Part 6 has brought its rewarding convolution to countless new anime-only fans. However, those fans won't know about Araki teasing the return of Golden Wind's protagonist, Giorno Giovanna.

Stone Ocean's ending features the relentlessly powerful priest, Pucci, activating a plan left behind by the late Dio to achieve "Heaven". Accelerating time using gravity, Pucci intends for a universal singularity where future fates are known. Despite their best efforts, Jolyne, Jotaro, and the others can't stop him. The young mafioso might have been just what they needed though, and the evidence JoJo's strongest protagonist was supposed to be in Florida's apocalyptic standoff is stronger than even die-hard JoJo fans realize.

The Heaven...

Tired of superhero franchises but up for watching a group of larger-than-life misfits with no superpowers but big Bollywood dreams? If so, Superboys of Malegaon may be just for you.

The heartfelt Hindi-language comedy from Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with India’s Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby, is directed by Reema Kagti (Made in Heaven) and is based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon in Western India who made a name for himself.

His work with collaborators, creating their own versions of Indian hit movies but with minuscule budgets, was already the topic of Faiza Ahmad Khan’s 2008 documentary Supermen of Malegaon. Now they’re getting the fiction treatment.

“The residents of the town look to Bollywood cinema for a much-needed escape from daily drudgery. Nasir gets inspired to make a film for the people of Malegaon, by the people of Malegaon,...

In a cinematic collision of high-profile talent and grassroots grit, powerhouse duo Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar are bringing the DIY spirit of India’s small-town filmmakers to the global stage with “Superboys of Malegaon” at the Toronto Film Festival.

Director Kagti and producer Akhtar’s latest film explores the world of low-budget filmmaking in Malegaon, a small town in Maharashtra, India. The duo have collaborated on several hit projects including “Dahaad,” “Made in Heaven” and “Gully Boy.”

“Superboys of Malegaon” is a fiction feature that reimagines the spirit of Malegaon’s passionate filmmakers who create their own versions of popular movies on shoestring budgets, including “Sholay,” “Shaan,” “Don,” “Lagaan” and “Rangeela.”

The film draws inspiration from the life of Nasir Sheikh, a resourceful DIY filmmaker from Malegaon, western India, whose innovative work was previously showcased in Faiza Ahmad Khan’s beloved 2008 documentary “Supermen of Malegaon.”

If Ayesha and Wake-Up Sid had a Gen-z daughter, it would be Call Me Bae. The eight-episode TV series starring Bollywood “nepo” baby Ananya Pandey is like a breath of fresh air amongst the multiple international shows that have been failing to deliver their “woke gen-z romantic comedy” for seasons on end. The first comparison you’re going to see is Emily in Paris, and to that, I’ll tell you, Bae’s definitely more worth your time than Emily. Sure, this is a fish-out-of-water story too, but it’s also a late-bloomer-coming-of-age story with impeccable character development. A guilty pleasure that lands all its self-aware jokes without a stutter. If Rocky Randhawa had another younger sister, she’d be Bella Choudhary, because, dang, are they just two sides of the same coin?

Call Me Bae tells the story of Bella “Bae” Choudhary, a girl born with a golden spoon...

Farhan Akhtar recently showcased his playful and romantic side by wishing his wife, Shibani Dandekar, a happy birthday in a charming and humorous Instagram post. Farhan shared a stunning photo of Shibani, where she is seen smiling and looking away from the camera, dressed in a white top, jacket, and a large hat. Farhan couldn’t resist adding a quirky twist to his caption, humorously comparing Shibani’s hat to a “sada dosa.” He wrote, “Happy birthday Shu.. I don’t think anyone has looked this beautiful balancing a sada dosa on their head. @shibaniakhtar love you more than you know.”

The post quickly attracted comments from friends and fans alike. Priyanka Chopra joined in the fun, wishing Shibani a happy birthday with a laughing “Haha.” Zoya Akhtar, Farhan’s sister, also chimed in with a playful “Hahahahaha. Happy Birthday.” Shibani’s sister, Anusha Dandekar, added her own humorous touch,...

Prime Video is set to premiere “Angry Young Men,” a three-part documentary series that captures the personal and professional journey of legendary screenwriting duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, known collectively as Salim-Javed.

Produced by Salman Khan Films, Excel Media & Entertainment and Tiger Baby, the docu-series is executive produced by Salma Khan, Salman Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti. It delves into how Salim-Javed revolutionized Indian cinema in the 1970s by reinventing the Bollywood formula, introducing ‘angry young man’ heroes in a romance-dominated industry, and popularizing the action-drama genre. The original ‘angry young man’ was Amitabh Bachchan who, after a string of middling films, began his journey to superstardom with Prakash Mehra’s “Zanjeer” (1973), written by Salim-Javed.

When producer Zoya Akhtar, daughter of Javed Akhtar, set out to chronicle their story, she knew it was a tale long overdue for telling. “I grew up with them and watching these films,...

Indian streaming series such as Netflix’s “Heeramandi,” Prime Video’s “Mirzapur” or Disney+ Hotstar’s “Bad Cop,” could soon be more influential than Bollywood.

India’s massive population and its embrace of multiple forms of video streaming are having far-reaching implications for the country’s content industries, its wider economy and the country’s position on the international stage, says an in-depth new report.

“Beyond Screens – Streaming VoD’s Impact on the Creative Economy,” was published Wednesday. It was commissioned by Prime Video India and conducted by Singapore-based Media Partners Asia.

The report paints the picture of a sector that is now attracting close to $6 billion a year of local content investment, on a par with South Korea, and demonstrates that India is a top three market in terms of net new subscriber additions and revenue growth for both Amazon and Netflix.

The upside is huge. Annual content investment...

Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are manifestations of energy, complex and responsible for many questions and plothole accusations. Made in Heaven's ritual origin and the fate of characters like Josuke remain unanswered fan mysteries in the JoJo universe. Wonder of U in Jojolion is a difficult-to-understand, karmic stand with calamitous powers, providing a unique challenge for the characters.

Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is categorically a work of art: a genre-defining shnen/seinen whose wide net has captured influences like high fashion, classical statuary, hair metal, and theoretical physics. Since part 3, Stardust Crusaders, battles are fought with Stands, unique manifestations of the user's energy. Hurting a Stand hurts its user, and generally only Stand users can see other Stands. However, those without Stands can still be affected by them.

Unfortunately, like many good works of art, it's not always easy to know what the artist intends. Other times, it's perfectly clear,...

The Dev Patel-directed, Jordan Peele-produced action film Monkey Man (you can read our review at This Link) reached theatres back at the start of April and underperformed at the box office, pulling in just $34 million worldwide. It received a digital release by the end of April and will be getting a 4K Blu-ray release in the UK this weekend – and Deadline has revealed that it will be available to watch on the Peacock streaming service next week! It’s set to start streaming on Peacock on June 14th.

Here’s the official synopsis: Monkey Man is an action thriller about one man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to victimize the poor and powerless systemically. Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out...

Get your home theaters ready for a brutal display of power because Dev Patel’s Monkey Man is getting a Collector’s Edition 4K Blu-ray release! The physical version of Patel’s directorial debut hails from Universal Pictures UK, and it comes packed with extras to take you behind the action of one of this year’s best films. The Collector’s Edition enters the ring on June 8.

Monkey Man is an action thriller about one man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to victimize the poor and powerless systemically.

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

After years of suppressed rage,...

Dia Mirza, who actively participates for social and environmental issues, on Saturday, opened up on the destruction of biodiversity in the urban spaces and trimming of trees for monsoon, urging the officials to ensure implementation of better practices.

Taking to Instagram, Dia, who was last seen in ‘Made in Heaven’, shared a beautiful picture of herself sitting under a tree. She is seen wearing a blue suit paired with a white shawl. She also shared a series of pictures, featuring exotic birds and wildlife species.

The long post started with a shayari of Kaifi Azmi:

“Each year, the months of April and May are particularly heartbreaking when one witnesses the destruction of biodiversity in our urban spaces. Trees are being ‘trimmed’ in preparation for the monsoon…The ‘trimming’ is unscientific, and horrific, because the entire canopy/shade is axed away by unfeeling, unthinking individuals. The country is reeling in an acute heatwave.

“I’ve felt that being called ‘niche’ is a compliment, actually,” Monkey Man star Sobhita Dhulipala tells Deadline.

It is nighttime in India when we catch up with the star, and we are discussing a recent profile that dubbed her a “niche Indian actress.”

“In India, there’s the conventional idea of a mainstream commercial film star where they love you because you entertain and give them escape, but you’re not really accountable as an actor to stand for anything,” she explains. “I guess my expectation from a different kind of actor who does films that reach my heart and travel with me would be somehow more personal, and that is a bit of a niche.”

Dhulipala’s choice of roles has reflected this mentality. Born in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, she followed the career pipeline that takes a person from beauty pageants to acting, a path trodden by Priyanka Chopra,...

Since on television in 2003, Mona Singh’s Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin has remained etched in the memories of the audience and thanks in large part to the unforgettable portrayal of the titular character, Jassi by her.

The character of Jassi, with her distinctive glasses, braces, and awkward demeanor broke all stereotypes and challenged conventional notions of beauty in the early 2000s . Mona Singh’s portrayal not only proved her acting prowess but also ignited the important conversations and messages about body positivity and self acceptance.

Other than Jassi, Mona has also garned a lot of praise for his numerous series like Made In Heaven , Kaalapani, Kafas and many others. Her omnipresence in both Ott and Films is a proof of her versatility and she effortlessly plays varied roles across films and television, which have made her a most loved personality in the entertainment world.

Other than the national presence, Mona...

Dev Patel’s bone-crunching action film, Monkey Man, is swinging onto digital platforms faster than Atefeh Safaei can throw a punch. According to the film’s official Twitter account, Monkey Man comes to digital to rent or buy tomorrow, April 23rd! Despite underperforming at the box office with $28M+, Monkey Man is a hit with critics and fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, Patel’s directorial debut is 88% on the Tomatometer, with an 84% Fresh Audience Score.

Competition is fierce at the box office in 2024, with original films struggling to make a dent. Monkey Man opened alongside The First Omen, one of the horror genre’s most well-reviewed films in recent memory. Still, Monkey Man‘s most formidable opponent is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which reigns supreme with $485M+. The New Empire opened one week ahead of Monkey Man, gobbling up most of the action-oriented box office. With Monkey Man coming to digital,...

Here’s the official synopsis for Monkey Man courtesy of NBCUniversal:

“Monkey Man is an action thriller about one man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to victimize the poor and powerless systemically.

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman,...

Actor/director Dev Patel opens this two-minute look behind the scenes of Monkey Man by quoting a quote from the film: “The pain will leave you once it’s finished teaching you.” Patel, who made his feature film directing debut with the action thriller, learned that lesson the hard way, breaking his foot and his hand during shooting.

“I poured all of myself into this. Every frame, every beat, every detail…and it’s been a ferocious process making this film,” explained the Oscar nominated actor.

Joining Patel in front of the camera are Sharlto Copley (District 9), Pitobash (Million Dollar Arm), Vipin Sharma (Hotel Mumbai), Sikandar Kher (Aarya), Adithi Kalkunte (Hotel Mumbai), and Sobhita Dhulipala (Made in Heaven). Ashwini Kalsekar (Ek Tha Hero), Makarand Deshpande (Rrr), Jatin Malik, and Zakir Hussain (Duranga) also star.

On the occasion of World Theatre Day, the actor spoke with Ians and shared that Delhi theatre is fuelled by raw passion while the Mumbai theatre circuit has a certain finesse which comes from the involvement of actors like Naseeruddin Shah.

Ishwak told Ians: “There is a finesse in Bombay theatre which comes from the active involvement of legends like Naseer sahab (Naseeruddin Shah) which is quite unique. Delhi theatre is fuelled by raw passion and driven by theatre gurus who are working against the tide to keep the art robust. Groups...

Universal Pictures has launched a new trailer for Dev Patel’s directorial debut in the action thriller ‘Monkey Man.’

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who, after the horrific land dispute massacre of his childhood village, was left orphaned on the streets of the fictional city of Yatana. Kid now makes a meagre living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he allows himself to be beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

But when, after years of patience and contained rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite, his childhood trauma boils over, and his scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of righteous revenge against the men who took everything from him.

Universal and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions are getting set to unleash director Dev Patel’s Monkey Man, which has been earning rave reviews on the festival scene.
