  • Leaders Across Political and Legal Circles Applaud Junglee Pictures’s Haq for Reigniting India’s Equality Debate

    Leaders Across Political and Legal Circles Applaud Junglee Pictures’s Haq for Reigniting India’s Equality Debate

    Ahead of its theatrical release, Junglee Pictures’ HAQ has garnered strong praise from prominent voices across politics, law and media, many calling it a stirring reminder of constitutional protections, gender justice, and India’s long-running debate around personal laws and equality.

    Inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgement, Haq follows the journey of a woman fighting for justice in the face of abandonment following instant triple talaq. Echoing the case that transformed India’s legal and socio-political landscape in 1985, Haq takes forward the discourse. Directed by Suparn S Varma and Written By Reshu Nath, Haq releases this Friday.

    Politician and convenor of BJP IT cell Mr. Amit Malviya called it “A powerful and deeply moving film”. HAQ is socially urgent, he said.

    He highlighted the political turning point triggered by the original case. “The film also reminds us how the Rajiv Gandhi-led government overturned the Supreme Court’s progressive Shah Bano judgment to appease hardliners, setting back the cause of women’s rights for decades. It took the Modi government to finally annul Triple Talaq, restoring a measure of dignity and justice to Muslim women.”

    Minister of Parliamentary Affairs & Minister of Minority Affairs, Mr. Kiren Rijiju attended a special screening alongside several dignitaries including former Chief Justice of India Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena, and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

    Mr. Kiren Rijiju said, “This film is depiction of the will power of a woman to fight for not only her personal rights but for the justice & dignity of the society.

    Former CJI Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, whose father Justice Y.V. Chandrachud authored the original Shah Bano judgment, spoke emotionally at the screening, “Coming here for the release of the movie has a personal resonance for me and an emotional one as that, because the foundation of this movie was the judgment in the Shah Bano case, which was authored by my father, and he did that at a very great personal cost.”

    With powerful endorsements across political and legal spheres, HAQ is emerging as a point of discussion on constitutional equality, gender rights and the interplay between faith and law in India.

    Produced by Junglee Pictures, in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, helmed by Suparn S Varma starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi with Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, Aseem Hattangady, and marking the debut of Vartika Singh. HAQ releases worldwide on 7th November 2025.

  • From Rs 5,000 to Global Aspirations: How Dishi Somani Is Democratizing Designer Jewellery

    From Rs 5,000 to Global Aspirations: How Dishi Somani Is Democratizing Designer Jewellery

    1. What motivated you to leave a corporate career and launch DishiS Designer Jewellery, and how has that motivation evolved by 2025?

      Answer: My career in finance was comfortable, but it didn’t provide me with the creative outlet I wanted. Growing up in Gwalior, I was surrounded by craftspeople creating jewelry designs for my mother, thus I was always drawn to the realm of design. In 2015, I started DishiS with just ₹5,000 out of pure enthusiasm. By 2025, that drive has evolved: although creativity is still at its foundation, my goal is to create a brand that is approachable, globally relevant, and grounded in craft while embracing innovation.

      2. Your previous interviews emphasise the blend of tradition and modernity in your jewellery. How do you interpret this blend in 2025?

      Answer: At DishiS, we think that traditional craftsmanship and cultural aesthetics don’t have to conflict with modern design. In the beginning, I turned my attention to wearable, lightweight designs that younger ladies and professionals might use. By 2025, this combination will allow us to continue honoring Indian patterns, artisanal methods, and heritage stones while creating designs that cater to everyday wear, global fashion sensibilities, and digital-first shopping habits. Thus, the “modern” is in wearability, affordability, and thinking, while the “traditional” is in the story and detailing.

      3. How has your business model of customisation and online-first approach evolved over time?

      Answer: At DishiS, we’ve always allowed consumers to bring ideas or sketches and modify works. In order to minimize expenditure, we were built-to-order, largely online, and had very little inventory. By 2025, we will have added more digital tools, such as virtual try-ons, style tests, and integrated personalization routines. To supplement the digital-only approach, we are also investigating specific offline touchpoints, such as pop-ups and in-person meetings. The model is still enhanced by the internet, but it is now more tech-enabled and hybrid.

      4. Which consumer behaviour trends do you observe now, and how are you adapting DishiS to them?

      Answer: Young, urban consumers are choosing jewelry that is wearing, expressive, lightweight, and customizable over “just for occasions.” They anticipate that the brand will represent their identity, digital convenience, and societal values (such as sustainability and ethical sourcing). As a result, we have expanded our design language to incorporate more semi-fine and modern collections, accelerated the release of new products, added “micro-customization” elements (such as the ability to choose the color of the stone, the metal polish, or engraving), and placed a greater emphasis on digital channel storytelling. Additionally, we are moving toward the “gift-yourself for no occasion” mentality, even though festivals and significant events are important.

      5. Sustainability, ethical sourcing, and inclusivity are important in jewellery today. How is DishiS addressing these concerns?

      Answer: I’ve always believed that fashion shouldn’t be expensive or exclusive. We’re formalizing promises for 2025, which include utilizing certified gemstones, sourcing ethically, avoiding wasteful packaging, and encouraging lighter jewelry (less metal weight), which naturally utilizes fewer resources. Additionally, we are introducing age-inclusive and size-inclusive design principles, creating jewelry that appeals to men, women of all ages, professionals, and younger women. Our marketing highlights that everyone, not just wealthy consumers, can purchase designer jewelry.

      6. What global aspirations does Dishi Somani hold for DishiS, and what are the key milestones for 2025?

      Answer: In my ideal world, DishiS Designer Jewellery would spread beyond India and be accepted in every nation and city. Our goals for 2025 include creating omni-channel “phygital” experiences, establishing strategic alliances or pop-ups overseas, and introducing region-specific collections (such as those for the Middle East, the US, and Australia) with localized formats. By year’s end, we also want to scale the brand so that 30–40% of income originates from export markets, build our own mobile app, and enable multilingual client touchpoints.

      7. How has technology (CAD, AR/VR, social commerce) influenced your design and customer experience processes?

      Answer: Technology has changed everything. We switched from hand drawings to computer-aided design (CAD) modeling, which enables more accurate customization and quicker design revisions. In order to allow customers to see how items would appear on them before placing an order, we are now using AR and VR for virtual try-ons. Our design stories, behind-the-scenes films, and influencer partnerships swiftly turn awareness into sales thanks to social commerce (shoppable Instagram/Facebook). We track trends, optimize collections, and maintain pricing accessibility in the backend using data analytics and AI-driven insights.

      8. What advice would you give aspiring women entrepreneurs in the jewellery or design sector in 2025?

      Answer: First, have faith in your creative intuition while keeping it grounded in professionalism. I had to express myself, therefore I quit a lucrative career to accomplish this. Second, begin lean: employ build-to-order or digital-first strategies to reduce investment and control risk. Third, stand out: identify your specialization in terms of design language, personalization, values, or service. Fourth, embrace digital: jewelry retail will continue to change due to e-commerce, social media, and tech tools. Lastly, be resilient: growth will come if you remain customer-focused and value-driven despite obstacles.

  • Space as a Status Symbol: How Low-Density Communities Are the New Luxury

    Space as a Status Symbol: How Low-Density Communities Are the New Luxury

    Delhi NCR, October 31 2025: In India’s major metros, urban living has become a study in compression. Yet, amid this compact chaos, a quiet counter-trend is taking shape. For ultra-high-net-worth homebuyers, the definition of luxury extends beyond the glint of a skyline or proximity to the city’s buzz; it is defined by the calm that space affords. Privacy, openness, and a sense of breathing room have become the new markers of prestige. The pandemic years reshaped our relationship with home—it is now a sanctuary, a workspace, and a wellness cocoon rolled into one. As a result, low-density communities across the NCR and other metropolitan areas have emerged as the true status symbols of modern luxury.

    Low-density development is a concept that offers peace amidst urban chaos. With fewer units per acre, the reduced population ensures ample space between buildings, allowing for more green areas, gardens, and open spaces. These open spaces create a harmonious living experience, offering a much-needed escape from crowded areas. From accessing a large backyard, a nearby park, or a greenbelt with minimal crowds, residents can enjoy the outdoors without the feeling of crowding or congestion.

    Additionally, privacy is a significant advantage of low-density developments, where enough spacing between homes allows residents to relish their personal space without the proximity of neighbors. This enhanced privacy fosters a more peaceful and relaxed way of life, enabling residents to unwind and fully appreciate their surroundings.

    Moreover, according to Anarock, Delhi-NCR’s primary housing market saw an average increase of 24% annually during the July-September period due to better demand, especially for luxury homes. The data showed that the average price of residential properties across Delhi-NCR at Rs 8,900 per sq ft during July-September from Rs 7,200 per square foot in the year-ago period, with Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi, and Ghaziabad being the major markets.

    While low-density living often evokes an idyllic picture of serenity and space, Prateek Canary in Noida’s Sector 150 transforms that vision into a tangible lifestyle. Designed as a statement of refined luxury, the project offers sweeping panoramic views of lush greens, complemented by expansive private decks that invite residents to slow down and soak in the calm. Spread across 12.55 acres with only 664 residences, Prateek Canary exemplifies exclusivity through thoughtful restraint—3 and 4 BHK homes and duplex penthouses that merge elegance with openness. Every detail, from the thematic island entrance to the forest trail and the amphitheatre-styled lawn, is conceived to blur the boundaries between luxury and nature.

    Its appeal is further elevated by its enviable address. Located in Sector 150, Noida’s greenest and most meticulously planned sector, the project sits amid a landscape defined by manicured parks, serene lakes, artful sculptures, and tree-lined walkways. The sector houses one of India’s largest urban parks, spanning 40 acres, and offers a 100-acre sports zone featuring an organic farm, children’s play areas, and even a 9-hole golf course. Together, these elements create a rare balance of luxury and livability, making Prateek Canary not just a home, but a haven where space, greenery, and wellness converge to define the new essence of modern exclusivity.

    Besides, the rise of low-density communities is not a coincidence; it’s a reflection of how deeply lifestyle priorities have evolved. The post-pandemic world redefined the meaning of home, with hybrid work and flexible routines placing greater value on calm, spacious environments over mere proximity to office corridors. The desire to live amid greenery and open skies has steadily outpaced the once-dominant need for central locations. Developers like Prateek Group, attuned to this sentiment, are pivoting towards premium low-density offerings that deliver both luxury and lifestyle.

    Thus, low-density communities are leading this redefinition, especially across NCR, where they offer a rare blend of prestige, comfort, and wellness-driven living. For developers, crafting such space-centric environments, with fewer residences, generous green vistas, and thoughtful master planning, has become the new marker of sophistication.

  • Setting the Record Straight: Kalki 2898 AD Credits Controversy Is Based on False Claims

    Setting the Record Straight: Kalki 2898 AD Credits Controversy Is Based on False Claims

    After a sudden wave of online buzz and viral posts last night, it’s time to set the record straight — Deepika Padukone’s name was and still remains in the credits of Kalki 2898 AD.

    On 18th September Vyjayanthi Films had announced that Deepika Padukone will not be part of Kalki 2 sparked a flurry of social media reactions.

    Recently certain fan clubs began circulating fake screenshots/videos claiming that the actress’s name had been “removed” from the credits of Kalki 2898 AD on streaming platforms.

    The claim quickly gained traction without a basic fact check.

    Here’s the truth: Deepika Padukone’s name continues to appear in the official credits of Kalki 2898 AD on both Amazon Prime Video and Netflix India, across all language versions.

    Screenshots and recordings from users show her name listed exactly as it was at the time of the film’s theatrical release. There has been no edit, no removal, and certainly no re-addition.

    Reports also suggested that the credits were “added back” after online backlash are not only false but technically impossible.Updating or modifying credits on OTT platforms like Amazon or Netflix is a lengthy, multi-step process involving global syncs, file replacements, and quality checks. It cannot be done overnight or in response to social media outrage.

    This viral misinformation, started by unverified fan handles, unfairly targeted the Kalki 2898 AD team and spread rapidly through media circles without verification.

    A source close to the film confirmed,
    “This entire claim is baseless. Deepika Padukone’s name has always been a part of the official credits of Kalki 2898 AD— across all languages and platforms. People need to understand that adding or removing anything from a film on OTT platforms is not a simple switch. You can’t just ‘add credits overnight’ after backlash, as some reports are suggesting. The same can be reconfirmed by any one that has access to these ott platforms.”

    Vyjayanthi Films has not issued a statement on the matter, but the facts are evident to anyone who streams the film — Deepika Padukone’s credits remain exactly as they were.

  • UltraVibrant Solar to Scale EPC & Tech in 6 Key States; Aims to Lead India’s Green Transition

    UltraVibrant Solar to Scale EPC & Tech in 6 Key States; Aims to Lead India’s Green Transition

    The company eyes expansion across key growth markets, including Rajasthan, NCR, Gujarat, MP, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

    UltraVibrant Solar Energy Pvt. Ltd.

With a network of 400+ suppliers and 60+ I&C partners, UltraVibrant is recognized for its strong execution capabilities and system-driven delivery. It has received several national accolades, including the Best EPC Award, Rajasthan Solar Ratna, Innovation in Renewable Energy Award, State Leadership Award, and Company of the Year – Solar System Integrator (2025).
