Stepping into the project is none other than actor Jitendra Kumar, renowned for his relatable and earnest portrayals across hit series and films. Mahvash will be playing the female lead opposite Jitendra Kumar. Jitendra Kumar and Mahvash to lead Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, presented by Remo D’Souza; deets inside! The romantic-comedy, which promises a heartfelt and hilarious cinematic treat, is written by Pradeep Singh and will be directed by Jayesh Pradhaan. It is produced by Ishan Shilpi Verma, Vishal Tyagi, and Anwar Ali Khan in association with Kuree Studio and Shaisha Motion Pictures and music by national award winner, the legendary Ismail Darbar. Addressing the film’s unique concept, Remo D’Souza expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “In my journey as a filmmaker, I’ve always loved narratives that are rooted in reality yet filled with a unique spark. Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain is exactly that it celebrates imperfection. It’s about finding your kind of crazy in someone else, and having a relatable and bankable actor like Jitendra Kumar on board, with his fantastic ability to blend comedy and vulnerability, ensures this film will strike a chord with the audience.” This new venture sees Jitendra Kumar, loved for his acclaimed performances across Panchayat, Kota Factory, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and the recently released Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas, has been portraying diverse characters with authenticity and emotional depth. The actor shared saying, “The title itself, Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain, perfectly captures the spirit of true, unfiltered love. Playing a wonderfully flawed and real character in this film is a refreshing challenge. I believe the film will resonate with anyone who understands that the most beautiful relationships are often the most imperfect ones.” Mahvash also shared her thoughts on joining the cast, “This isn’t just a love story; it’s a wonderfully chaotic story! What drew me in was how real and imperfect the characters are; they feel like people you genuinely know. I can’t wait for audiences to embrace the beautiful madness of this film.” With Remo D’Souza coming on board as presenter, director Jayesh Pradhaan’s clear, heartfelt vision and the leading pair’s signature blend of humor and vulnerability is highly anticipated, suggesting that this new film is poised to capture the hearts of audiences nationwide by celebrating the messy, beautiful reality of love.

The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025

Entertainment This list of songs combines massive chart performance, social‑media frenzy, inventive styles, emotional resonance, and layered productions that captured us, and fans, worldwide. 2025’s K‑pop scene has been one of stellar releases, and narrowing it down to the top 25 felt like a task. We let a mix of chart-topping power, virality, creativity, and the sheer “wow” factor of each track guide us. So when a song like Ejae, Audrey Nuna & Rei Ami’s “Golden” turns into a Golden‑Globe‑nominated anthem, you know it’s in. Jennie’s “Like Jennie” brought club fire to the K‑pop arena, while Katseye’s “Gabriela” swapped neon hyper‑pop for a Latin‑spiced R&B vibe looping in our minds like a pop chorus. From Ateez’s citrus‑kissed “Lemon Drop” to TXT’s effortlessly snappy “Love Language,” each release pushed the envelope — whether it was Aespa’s gritty “Dirty Work,” Blackpink’s hard‑hitting “Jump,” or Stray Kids’ hip “Do It.” Even under‑the‑radar gems like Chen’s raw “Broken Party” or Jin’s moody “Don’t Say You Love Me” showed how emotional depth still cuts through. In essence, these 25 K-pop songs earned their spot because they didn’t just sound good — they sparked covers, conversations, and, most importantly, gave us a soundtrack for every high‑energy night out, late‑night introspection, and everything in between this year. Entertainment Ejae, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami : “Golden” “Golden” from the Netflix smash KPop Demon Hunters is the perfect hype track for heroes on a mission— an infectious electropop hit where the girls (of the fictional girl group Huntr/x) sing about the “Golden Honmoon” and their battle against demons. It’s got that old‑school vibe, with traditional instruments sneaking into a glossy pop hook, which really makes you feel the characters’ growth from novice recruits to guardians of the world. It even drops a nod to one of them, Rumi’s introspection about their complicated role. The song has racked up a Golden Globe nod for Best Original Song, topped multiple charts, and gone viral on TikTok and Instagram, spawning a flood of cover clips and a double‑platinum badge in the U.S. And let’s not forget the backstage legend — Ejae shared she saw a “grunge ghost” flicker in the studio when a knob went haywire, a spooky anecdote that only adds to the track’s mystical charm. Entertainment Jennie: “Like Jennie” The song drops you straight into a metallic baile‑funk beat that feels like a club punch. Co‑produced by Diplo and Zico, Jennie’s sharp Korean rap slices through the synth storm, making it the draw of her debut album, Ruby, and one of 2025’s buzziest K‑pop releases. Critics raved that it’s a vibrant manifesto of Jennie’s identity, with a snarled confidence that futurizes the Blackpink sound, while the track’s relentless energy and unforgettable hook (“Who wanna rock with Jennie?”) has turned it into a global hit. Entertainment Katseye: “Gabriela” “Gabriela” is like a breath of fresh Latin‑spiced air in the K‑pop scene, swapping Katseye’s neon‑hyperpop past for a sleek, emotionally charged R&B‑pop vibe. The production — courtesy of Andrew Watt and John Ryan — layers a snaking bassline with Latin-esque rhythms, while the six‑member vocal blend shines in a chorus that loops “Hands off, Gabriela‑la‑la” straight into your head. Daniela’s Spanish bridge adds an almost telenovela‑flair twist, turning the song’s jealousy‑meets‑empowerment narrative into a modern take on the classic “Jolene” vibe — like Dolly Parton’s iconic plea to a rival, but flipped into a fierce, “this is mine” anthem. Entertainment Ateez: “Lemon Drop” Ateez’s “Lemon Drop” is a sun-drenched detour into breezy hip-hop and R&B, like a shot of citrus in the veins. Band member Hongjoong called it a “diversification, not a break” from their style, and the sugar-rush lyrics bear that out: “I keep getting drawn to you, too insidious,” “bitter-sweet luxury,” and that flirty “stop tempting me” vibe turns a simple confession into an earworm. The retro-summer video — spinning fans, lemon slices on an old TV, dripping clothes, slick choreo — amps up the heat, while the chorus (“Lemon drop… Tequila, tequila sunrise”) hits like a citrusy kick. Ditching the darker edge of “Hala Hala” for this lighter, more joyful sound, Ateez proves they’re as good at pure fun as they are at cinematic storytelling, making “Lemon Drop” the perfect, feel‑good song that cements their 2025 comeback as one of the year’s best K‑pop releases. Entertainment TXT: “Love Language” “Love Language” comes with a crisp beat and a snappy synth line that meets a subtle Afro‑groove, as TXT’s voices slide right into the pocket, turning a simple “what’s your love language?” into a hook that sticks before you even realize it’s there. The production is clean, the chorus is playful, and the whole track oozes with a charm that makes it feel fresh and exactly the kind of K‑pop moment that stands out in 2025. Entertainment IVE: “Rebel Heart” What hits you first in this song is the electric snap of the bass, and then the way IVE layers their brilliant harmonies over a chorus that’s part anthem, part whispered confession, turning the whole thing into a rebellious love‑letter you can’t help but sing along to. The production never feels over‑stuffed; instead, it balances slick synths with a raw drum feel that keeps the energy high without losing that polished IVE sheen. Entertainment Jisoo: “Earthquake” Jisoo’s (of Blackpink) intimate, urgent delivery gives “Earthquake” its hook, mixing a retro‑disco vibe with sleek synth‑pop textures. The driving beat and her voice flipping from vulnerable to confident give the track a pulsating, roller‑coaster energy, while the lyrics paint love as a seismic tremor that rattles her heart. The lead single from the EP Amortage snagged rave reviews for its catchy melody and Jisoo’s vocal prowess, cementing it as a highlight in her discography. Entertainment Yeonjun: “Ghost Girl” In “Ghost Girl,” Yeonjun (of TXT) delivers a punchy reggae‑rock mash-up built on a thumping bass line, crunchy guitars, and tight drums that lock into a hypnotic rhythm. The song has a sensual, poised character narrating a poignant tale of chasing a “ghost girl.”

Hits and Misses of Jungkook’s ‘Golden: The Moments’ Exhibition

Entertainment Deep diving into the BTS maknae’s sonic psyche, the immersive audio-visual showcase made its long-awaited Indian debut Mehboob Studios was abuzz with energy as it opened its gates to Jungkook’s Golden: The Moments Exhibition. In collaboration with BookMyShow Live and produced by Hybe, the South Korean entertainment and lifestyle giant, the showcase, which has previously toured Seoul, Tokyo, New York City, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Chile, and more, finally pulled the curtains on its Indian run in Mumbai.  The exhibit was divided into three sections, each exploring a distinct aspect of the singer-songwriter and performer’s album. ‘Journey’ took visitors through their solo days to global stardom. ‘Moments’ celebrated their achievements, marking the official victory lap. ‘Shine’ was a deeper dive, split into three parts: “Shine,” “Solid,” and “Substance,” which combined narrative and audio-visual elements. Shuttling between accolades and the BTS member’s inner universe, Golden: The Moments nudged viewers to journey across thematic rooms that unraveled the many layers of Jung Kook’s intricate “mikrokosmos.” Everything, right from on‑stage and promotional outfits to listening stations, was designed to immerse the audience completely. It’s also interesting to note the lore behind “Golden.” The youngest member of the Grammy‑nominated septet is widely recognized for his all‑rounder qualities — whether it’s belting out vocals, flirting with the camera through conceptual visuals, or effortlessly pulling off some of the most difficult choreographies onstage. The moniker “Golden Maknae” (the Korean term for the youngest person in a group or social setting) was endearingly bestowed by his favorite “hyung” (Korean term for older brother) and band‑mate RM. Jung Kook’s sickening quest for perfectionism can also be traced back to his pre‑debut athletic roots as a black‑belt Taekwondo athlete. It’s this very particular quality, which also runs deep in BTS’s artistry as a whole, that gravitated me toward their music in the first place: a never‑ending strive to go beyond the apparent. With that sentiment in mind, I eagerly made a beeline for the entrance. Whispers of excited chatter of fellow ARMYs and attendees floated across the room as they snapped away all that met the eye. From seeing concept images and MVs on small phone screens to finally viewing them in a curatorial space, people had parked their screen fatigue at the front gate, soaking in the exhibit in real time.  If you’re a fellow ARMY or a Desi K‑pop enthusiast, get ready for plenty of walking and gawking. Spread across a myriad of rooms, the exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into the sonic psyche of the BTS member. My first encounter was in the “Golden: Moments” room, which showcased the barrage of awards earned by the “Standing Next To You” singer. From coveted MAMA trophies to Billboard and Spotify plaques, the space stood as a silent testament to Jung Kook’s journey from a shy, unassuming rookie to a global pop star. Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Parading across the rooms, you could also savor behind‑the‑scenes stills from MVs like “Standing Next To You,” as well as larger‑than‑life frames of concept imagery. The showcase tastefully guided visitors deeper into Jungkook’s many facets beyond the spotlight. A dedicated stem station lets melomaniacs listen to isolated versions of the track “Hate You.” A collective mini‑concert erupted as attendees swayed to giant screens playing MVs such as “Seven” and “3D.” For those with a sartorial eye, you could also catch all the promotional and performance outfits. Each piece was meticulously displayed on illuminated stands that highlighted the intricate details of his stage wardrobe. Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Photo by Sharanyaa Nair While meandering through the rooms, I kept revising my mental checklist of standout moments. One of them was definitely the wardrobe display. Beyond being a stellar performer, Jung Kook is also known for his “cosy‑yet‑rebellious‑biker‑boyfriend‑next‑door” aesthetic, which was scattered throughout the clothing. Grungy platform boots, distressed jeans, and sheer vests contrasted with soothing white linen shirts, knit sweaters, and jackets, making it easy to trace the distinct stylistic routes the artist has explored both on‑ and off‑stage. The iconic brooch‑clad Prada jacket, famously worn in the “Standing Next To You” MV, was a hit among the style enthusiasts in the crowd. Straying from the wardrobe, the tracklist posters also piqued my curiosity. My inner graphic designer couldn’t help but analyze the typography, visual hierarchy, and colorways used to give each frame a distinct identity. Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Moving on from the visual feast, the “Substance” room, or the “ARMY” room, captured the overarching sentiment of fandom spirit, with attendees leaving heartfelt messages on the wall for the BTS member. While people were busy penning down their thoughts, a sense of camaraderie existed within those walls, where strangers were united by their unfailing love for music that echoes beyond geographical and linguistic borders. It’s personally endearing how the members always treat ARMYs as their most prized possession. Even amidst flourishing solo careers, exhibitions,  and performances, the “OT7” unity reigns supreme as an unspoken yet resonant pact.  Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Photo by Sharanyaa Nair Nevertheless, a few bottlenecks stood out amidst the excitement. While I was ecstatic to see such a landmark K-pop exhibition set sail on Indian waters, there were these misses, like the lack of curatorial signage, that dampened the overall navigational experience. Adding to that, the overt capitalization of fandom sentiment overshadowed the artistic narrative. For one, I would have loved a deep dive into the artist’s musical inklings: unreleased B-side tracks, songwriting journals and notes, or even vlogs and recording sessions from behind the making of Golden. Even the concept imagery, however varied, could have been sporadically strewn across the exhibit to ease out the visual saturation. Lastly, a few clearer descriptive cues could go a long way in strengthening the exhibition as an experience. In a nutshell, “Golden: The Moments,” just like BTS, is set to pave the way for more experiential K-pop experiences in India that are right up there with iglobal counterparts. With Hybe now setting

Exclusive: Chiranjeevi to play an NIA agent in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu

Entertainment Updated on :  13 Dec 2025, 5:50 pm The Chiranjeevi–Anil Ravipudi collaboration Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is gearing up for a theatrical release on January 11, 2026. The date was officially announced at a recent event organised by producers Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela, along with director Anil Ravipudi. With promotions now underway, the filmmaker has opened up about the film’s central characters in an exclusive conversation. Anil Ravipudi revealed that Chiranjeevi will be seen playing an NIA agent in the film, marking a key aspect of the narrative. He added that the story is set against the backdrop of a wealthy family, blending action, humour, and emotional beats. Nayanthara plays the daughter of a billionaire, and her character shares a romantic arc with Chiranjeevi, an aspect the director believes adds an interesting layer to the film’s dynamics. Venkatesh, who has previously collaborated with Anil Ravipudi on three films, returns in a pivotal role in this project. Addressing speculation that the actor might once again appear as a police officer — given his cop role in Sankranthiki Vasthunnam — Anil clarified that Venkatesh will be seen in a completely different avatar. “He is playing a billionaire in this film, not a cop. I wanted to present him in a new way,” the director said. Speaking about casting Nayanthara, Anil Ravipudi expressed his happiness at how smoothly the collaboration came together. He shared that the actress showed immediate interest when he narrated the story and readily agreed to be part of the film. While she may not participate in all promotional activities, the director noted her enthusiasm for the project during the filming phase. With the shoot now wrapped up, the team has shifted focus to promotions. Reflecting on his experience working with the stars, Anil Ravipudi spoke warmly about his bond with Chiranjeevi. “I developed a special connection with Chiranjeevi garu during this film, and I truly missed him once the shoot was over,” he said. Describing the on-screen chemistry between Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh, Anil likened their dynamic to two mischievous backbenchers. “The kind of fun and mischief two naughty students create while sitting in the last bench—that’s the energy Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh bring to this film. Watching these two superstars share screen space will be a feast for cinema lovers,” he added. With a high-profile cast, an intriguing mix of action and humour, and a festive release lined up, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of Sankranthi 2026.

The actor added that he could not have a sense of hatred in him all life, although there have been people and things he dislike over the years. “I was never really able to do a white-heat kind of hate,” he shared, possibly alluding to an intense sense of resentment.
