BAFTA-winning Boong to return to theatres on March 6 with wider release Boong, backed by Excel Entertainment, Chalkboard Entertainment and Suitable Pictures, is set to return to theatres on March 6 with a wider release. The makers have also unveiled a new poster to announce the date. The film recently achieved a milestone by becoming the first Indian feature to win a BAFTA, taking home the honour in the Best Children’s & Family Film category at the British Academy Film Awards. The win marked a significant international recognition for the project and placed it among major global contenders in the category. Sharing the new poster on social media, the makers captioned it: “A journey of innocence, love and resilience. Witness India's first BAFTA Award winning film, in cinemas on 6th March. ”Written and directed by Lakshmipriya Devi, the film follows a young boy who sets out to surprise his mother with what he believes would be the most meaningful gift — bringing his absent father back home. The search gradually reshapes his understanding of family and expectations, leading to an unexpected emotional outcome. After earning international attention and securing the BAFTA honour, Boong now prepares for its theatrical return, with the wider release scheduled across cinemas on March 6.

Ravi Shankar centre refutes Rishabh Rikhiram’s ‘Last Disciple’ claim, cites no formal initiation The controversy over sitarist Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma’s claim that he was the last disciple of the late maestro Ravi Shankar has taken a clearer turn, with the Ravi Shankar Centre issuing a detailed rebuttal contesting that assertion. In an official statement on February 27, the Centre said while Rishabh’s musical talent is recognised, there was no formal initiation (Ganda-Bandhan) or traditional ceremony that would qualify him as a disciple in the classical guru-shishya tradition. It described an incident in January 2012, often cited by Rishabh’s team, as an informal string-tying at the young musician’s father’s request, lacking customary rituals, a priest, prepared ceremonial thread or wider witnessThe Centre also cited a public introduction by Pandit Ravi Shankar at a concert, where the maestro reportedly told the audience, “I have just had this new, wonderful young boy become my student, and just given him a few lessons. ” According to the statement, he did not use the word “disciple” at any point. After March 2012, when the legend left India due to poor health, no sustained or structured teaching continued.   Reiterating the view often expressed by Ravi Shankar’s daughter, Grammy-nominated sitarist Anoushka Shankar, the Centre said the word disciple has profound cultural meaning in Indian classical music and is earned through years of deep training and commitment, not a han... #Shankar #Rishabh_Rikhiram #Rikhiram_Sharma #Ravi_Shankar #Disciple’_claim #Shankar_centre #refutes_Rishabh #formal_initiation #centre_refutes #Centre_issuing

Kerala HC Division Bench lifts stay on The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond The Kerala High Court on Friday vacated the interim stay imposed on the release of Kerala Story 2 - Goes Beyond, clearing the way for the film’s theatrical rollout. A Division Bench of Justices SA Dharmadhikari and PV Balakrishnan set aside the order passed a day earlier by single-judge Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas, who had stayed the film’s release for 15 days and directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine representations made against it. Justice Thomas had issued the interim stay at 3 pm on Thursday while hearing two petitions challenging the film. He observed that there was, prima facie, an absence of application of mind by the CBFC while granting certification and asked the Board to consider revision petitions within two weeks. The order restrained the makers from releasing the film during this period. Later that evening, at 7. 30 pm, the Division Bench convened an urgent special sitting to hear an appeal filed by the film’s producers. After a hearing that lasted over two hours, the Bench reserved its verdict and pronounced it at 4 pm on Friday, lifting the stay. The petitions before the single judge had contended that the sequel misrepresented Kerala and had the potential to incite communal disharmony. One plea, filed by Kannur resident Sreedev Namboodiri, objected to the film’s title, teaser and trailer, alleging that certain themes and dialogues could trigger violence and... #High_Court #film #Kerala_Story #Kerala_High #Story #Division_Bench #theatrical_rollout #Bench_lifts #Justice_Thomas #Kurian_Thomas
