Shahzaad Mirza’s Shajapur Visit Puts Samarpit In The Spotlight...

Shajapur got a touch of Bollywood recently when Shahzaad Mirza, Executive Producer of the upcoming film Samarpit, interacted with local media during a special event in the city.

The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging as journalists gathered to speak with Shahzaad Mirza about his work and the film that is set to hit theatres on June 19. Instead of a formal press conference, the interaction felt more like an open conversation, with questions ranging from filmmaking to his experiences in the industry.

With Samarpit nearing its release, there was naturally a lot of curiosity around the project. Shahzaad Mirza spoke with the media while sharing his excitement about the film and the work that has gone into bringing it to the screen. The session offered attendees a glimpse into the effort that takes place behind the camera long before a film reaches audiences.

What made the event stand out was the genuine interest from local journalists and film enthusiasts. Many were eager to hear from someone who has spent years working behind the scenes rather than in front of the spotlight. The interaction gave people an opportunity to connect with a filmmaker whose contribution is part of the larger process of creating a movie.

As conversations continued and cameras kept rolling, the event created a positive buzz around Samarpit. For Shahzaad Mirza, it was another chance to engage directly with the media and audiences ahead of the film’s release. For those in attendance, it was a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from a member of a film team as anticipation builds for one of the upcoming Hindi releases.

With the countdown to Samarpit now underway, Shahzaad Mirza’s visit has added another layer of interest to the project, leaving many curious to see what the film has in store when it arrives in cinemas later this month.

After Censor Board Hurdles, ‘Navya Chakra’ Set For June 26 Release...

Mumbai: After months of uncertainty and multiple release postponements, filmmaker Amit Dixit’s much-awaited psychological mystery thriller is finally ready to reach audiences under its new title, Navya Chakra. The film, which was previously titled Navagunjara and later Navya Gunjara, faced significant challenges during the certification process after objections were raised over the concept which was related to the title of the film.

According to the makers, the film’s release was delayed repeatedly due to issues related to the film’s concept, which was directly involved with the title. The project was initially scheduled to release on May 15, 2026, and was later pushed to May 29, 2026. However, the film could not secure its censor certification as objections regarding the title continued to persist.

Sources associated with the production reveal that the makers approached the authorities multiple times seeking approval, but the proposed titles were reportedly not cleared. Following extensive discussions and compliance with the required guidelines, the team eventually received approval to release the film under the new title, Navya Chakra.

With the certification process now complete, the makers have officially announced June 26, 2026, as the film’s theatrical release date.

Directed and produced by Amit Dixit, Navya Chakra is written by Rohit S. Yadav, who has also handled the story, screenplay, and dialogues. The film is backed by First Film Studios LLP in association with Low Agers Production and Cine Arts. The project is produced by Amit Dixit, Ankita Goyal, and Ayush Jain, with Ajit Padwalkar serving as co-producer.

The film features an ensemble cast including Jitendraa Bohara,Tushar Kawale, Jessica Yadav, Pratiksha Singh, Kshitij Pawar, Sandhya R. Gemawat, Sandeep Omkar and Kailash Chaudhary. The film is presented as a Shubhro B musical, while Jai Nandan has handled cinematography. Abhishek Dubey serves as the associate producer.

The recently unveiled first poster carries the intriguing line, “Welcome to the world of PSYCON… we live in a world shared with them,” hinting at a mysterious narrative that explores unseen dimensions and psychological intrigue. While the makers continue to keep major plot details under wraps, the film’s promotional material has generated curiosity among audiences eager to discover the world of Navya Chakra.

Having overcome certification hurdles and title-related setbacks, the makers are now looking forward to finally bringing their ambitious vision to the big screen on June 26.

अनुजा सहाई के ‘आर्टिक्युलेट विद अनुजा’ में स्वामी अभेदानंद के साथ अध्यात्म, आत्मबोध और जीवन की गहन यात्रा...

Stay Aware! Stay Articulate!

जब संगीत आत्मा को छूता है और अध्यात्म मन को दिशा देता है, तब संवाद केवल बातचीत नहीं रह जाता, वह एक अनुभव बन जाता है। ऐसा ही एक भावपूर्ण और विचारोत्तेजक अनुभव देखने को मिला दैनिक भास्कर प्रस्तुत Articulate With Anuja के नवीनतम एपिसोड में, जहाँ गायिका-अभिनेत्री अनुजा सहाई ने चिन्मय मिशन साउथ अफ्रीका के रेजिडेंट आचार्य एवं आध्यात्मिक प्रमुख स्वामी अभेदानंद का स्वागत किया।

अपनी मधुर आवाज़, अभिनय प्रतिभा और सकारात्मक व्यक्तित्व के लिए जानी जाने वाली अनुजा सहाई ने वर्षों से संगीत और मनोरंजन जगत में अपनी अलग पहचान बनाई है। बजवा शहनाई, पायल और मुंडा जैसे लोकप्रिय गीतों से दर्शकों का दिल जीतने वाली अनुजा को प्लेबैक सिंगिंग का पहला अवसर तेलुगु फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में मिला, जहाँ उन्होंने प्रसिद्ध गायिका सुनिधि चौहान के साथ एल्बम स्पेस साझा किया। संगीत, अभिनय और सार्थक संवादों के माध्यम से लोगों से जुड़ना उनकी पहचान बन चुका है।

इस विशेष एपिसोड में चर्चा केवल अध्यात्म तक सीमित नहीं रही, बल्कि जीवन के उन प्रश्नों तक पहुँची जो हर व्यक्ति कभी न कभी स्वयं से पूछता है। आत्मबोध, जीवन का उद्देश्य, रिश्तों की गहराई, आंतरिक शांति और आधुनिक जीवन में प्राचीन ज्ञान की प्रासंगिकता जैसे विषयों पर स्वामी अभेदानंद ने अत्यंत सरल किंतु गहन विचार साझा किए।

उन्होंने बताया कि अध्यात्म किसी विशेष स्थान, वेशभूषा या कर्मकांड तक सीमित नहीं है। यह स्वयं को जानने, अपने भीतर की शांति को पहचानने और जीवन को अधिक जागरूकता, करुणा और संतुलन के साथ जीने की यात्रा है। उनके विचारों ने यह संदेश दिया कि बाहरी उपलब्धियों से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है अपने भीतर के व्यक्ति से जुड़ना।

इस अवसर पर अनुजा सहाई ने कहा, “मुझे हमेशा लगता है कि संगीत, कला और अध्यात्म एक ही स्रोत से निकलते हैं। स्वामी अभेदानंद जी के साथ यह संवाद मेरे लिए अत्यंत प्रेरणादायक और समृद्ध करने वाला अनुभव रहा। उनकी सरलता और जीवन को देखने का दृष्टिकोण हर आयु वर्ग के लोगों को छू सकता है। ‘आर्टिक्युलेट विद अनुजा’ के माध्यम से मेरा प्रयास है कि ऐसे संवाद लोगों तक पहुँचें जो उन्हें सोचने, समझने और स्वयं को बेहतर बनाने के लिए प्रेरित करें।”

Articulate With Anuja अपने मूल विचार “Stay Aware! Stay Articulate!” के साथ विभिन्न क्षेत्रों की प्रेरणादायी हस्तियों को एक मंच पर लाता है। यह केवल एक पॉडकास्ट नहीं, बल्कि विचारों, अनुभवों और जीवन मूल्यों को साझा करने की एक सार्थक पहल है।

स्वामी अभेदानंद के साथ यह विशेष एपिसोड दर्शकों और श्रोताओं को जीवन को एक नए दृष्टिकोण से देखने, स्वयं से जुड़ने और अधिक संतुलित, जागरूक तथा उद्देश्यपूर्ण जीवन जीने की प्रेरणा देता है। आज के शोरगुल भरे समय में यह संवाद एक शांत प्रार्थना की तरह है, जो मन को ठहरने, सुनने और भीतर झाँकने का अवसर देता है।

In her latest solo exhibition, Mahananda Sagare presents a body of work that emerges from silence, repetition, and prolonged acts of looking. Her paintings inhabit the fragile threshold where observation slowly transforms into inner experience. Rather than treating nature as subject matter, Sagare approaches it as a lived companionship; something sensed through rhythm, atmosphere, and  proximity.

The exhibition moves through recurring forms that appear almost elemental: birds in flight or pause, drifting leaves, dense clusters of organic movement, shadows suspended between stillness and motion. These are not descriptive images. They function more like states of mind; fleeting presences that carry memory, solitude, tenderness, and unease all at once. Her surfaces breathe through layered textures, muted intensities, and sudden bursts of colour that feel less painted than experienced.

There is an honesty in Mahananda’s visual language. The works resist theatricality and overstatement. Instead, they build a personal space where intuition becomes structure and sensitivity becomes method. One senses an artist listening carefully to the world before attempting to translate it. This gives the paintings their quiet force.

Her practice also reflects an important contemporary tension: how does one remain inward and attentive in a culture addicted to noise, and visibility? Mahananda Sagare’s works answer this not through protest, but through persistence. They slow perception down. They ask the viewer to stay with an image long enough for it to reveal its emotional temperature.

This show was inaugurated on 1^st June 2026 by eminent artist Shakuntala Kulkarni.
