Bombay HC refuses stay on Roy Kapur Film’s Matka King Amazon Prime Video’s show Matka King, in which Vijay Varma plays the titular role, is all set to start streaming from tomorrow. The show is also facing a legal issue based on a case filed on its makers Roy Kapur Films by Tanuja Bhagat who has claimed that it is allegedly based on his late grandfather Kalyanji Bhagat. For the unversed, Kalyanji started the game of Matka gambling in Mumbai in the 1960s. He started off as a masala trade in the 1940s. Tanuja had first raised objections in 2023, urging the creators to halt production or consult the family for accuracy. When her concerns were not addressed, she issued a cease-and-desist notice in April 2024. Subsequently, she formally filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in 2025, seeking an injunction on the series. Her plea reportedly demands that the makers stop production, remove promotional material, and block the release of the show entirely. As per the latest developments, the case was heard yesterday April 15 at the Bombay High Court. After listening to both the parties, the bench refused to restrain the release of the web series, as per a report by Legal Era Online. The matter is now adjourned to April 20. In a video statement shared by Tanuja Bhagat in last May, she had said, “Amazon Prime is misleading the public by its upcoming web series Matka King. They are commercializing by stealing the identity of my grandfather, who is still known as ‘Matka King’.

Konkona Sen Sharma, Pratibha Rannta starrer Accused to start streaming from February 27 on Netflix What happens when belief becomes a choice, and standing by someone comes at a personal cost? Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, starring Konkona Sensharma and Pratibha Rannta, Accused brings to the screen a layered, emotionally charged story that interrogates truth, power and trust in the face of accusation. The film premieres on Netflix on 27 February. Produced by Dharma Productions, Accused follows a celebrated doctor in London whose carefully constructed life begins to fracture after she is accused of sexual misconduct. As scrutiny intensifies and public opinion hardens, the film explores the strains this places on her closest relationships, and how quickly perception can take hold when certainty is out of reach. By centring on a woman as the accused, Accused asks viewers to sit with discomfort and doubt, unfolding as a story of one woman’s word against another. Talking about the film, Team Accused, shared, “Accused is the kind of story that stays with you because it refuses to simplify human behaviour or moral conflict. Anubhuti has crafted a deeply nuanced film that places women at the centre of a narrative we rarely explore, one where power, perception, and belief are constantly shifting. With Konkona and Pratibha leading the film, we’re looking at a relationship tested not just by accusation, but by doubt itself. It’s a story told with restraint, empathy, and courage, an... #Sen_Sharma #Pratibha_Rannta #Konkona_Sen #Rannta_starrer #personal_cost #Accused #start_streaming #Konkona_Sensharma #Pratibha #Rannta
