According to reports, Bhumi Pednekar and Konkona Sen Sharma’s much-awaited film Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare is set to skip a theatrical release and premiere directly on an OTT platform instead.

Helmed by Alankrita Shrivastava, the upcoming film stars both actress as siblings and deals with a slew of social taboos. Buzz has it that producer Ekta Kapoor is in talks with some of the prominent OTT platforms to release the film online.

"Negotiations are on at this point and they will settle for the best deal they get. Bhumi and Konkona's film will definitely be releasing online but the team is currently just figuring out which digital giant they will sell it to. It all depends on the money each has to offer. Netflix and Amazon Prime are both in contention,” a source in the know informs.

Another trade source adds, "The film is mounted on a very small budget, like Alankrita's last film Lipstick Under My Burkha (2017). This is again a very socially relevant film, which caters to a particular target audience, which is also similar to what the OTT giants cater to. So it's a good move on the makers' part to sell it off. Theatres aren't showing any signs of reopening in the next two months at least and if all was well, Balaji had initially planned to release Bhumi and Konkona's movie around May itself."

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare is ready for quite some time now. It has even been screened at various film festivals across the globe, including the Busan Film Festival and the Glasgow Film Festival. Bhumi Pednekar won her first international award at Busan Film Festival for her powerful performance in the movie.

An official announcement regarding the digital premiere of Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare is expected to arrive soon.

After more than a decade, Enrique Iglesias is finally returning to India. The Spanish superstar, best known for global hits like Hero, Bailamos, and Rhythm Divine, is scheduled to perform in Mumbai on 30 October 2025 at the MMRDA Grounds, BKC.

Organised by EVA Live and BEW Live, the Mumbai gig promises a packed venue with over 30,000 fans expected. According to organisers, Iglesias will perform a setlist spanning his three-decade-long career, mixing early 2000s classics with recent hits.
EVA Live’s founder Deepak Chaudhary called the show a “historic moment,” highlighting India’s growing appetite for iconic international acts. “The enthusiasm among fans is real. This show is about celebrating that global connection through music,” he said in a statement.

BBC releases Sidhu Moose Wala documentary 'The Killing Call' on YouTube despite legal plea from singer’s father

The BBC World Service has released a two-part documentary on Sidhu Moose Wala, the late Punjabi singer who was shot dead in 2022, despite his father's legal attempts to halt the release. Titled The Killing Call, the documentary went live on YouTube on 11 June, Moose Wala’s birth anniversary, just a day before a scheduled court hearing in Punjab on the matter.

Balkaur Singh, the singer’s father, had approached a Mansa court seeking a stay on the screening. He claimed that the BBC’s release was done without the family’s consent and that the documentary could interfere with the ongoing investigation into his son’s murder. His petition is set to be heard on 12 June. Despite the ongoing legal challenge, the broadcaster proceeded with the online release.
