Rajveer Deol, Paloma's debut film 'Dono' release date locked

Release date for Rajveer Deol and Paloma's debut film Dono has been unveiled.

On Saturday, the makers announced that Dono will arrive in theatres on October 5, 2023.


"Set against the backdrop of a lavish destination wedding, Dev (Rajveer) – friend of the dulhan, meets Meghna (Paloma) – friend of the dulha. Amidst the festivities of a big fat Indian wedding, a heart-warming journey commences between two strangers who have one destination," read the film's description.

The film promises to be an “urban tale that celebrates romance, relationships and matters of the heart.”

Rajvir is Sunny Deol’s son, while Paloma is veteran actor Poonam Dhillon’s daughter.

The makers recently released the title track of the film and it was launched by none other than the OG Rajshri pair – Salman Khan and Bhagyashree, who were paired opposite each other in Avnish's father Sooraj Barjatya's directorial debut, the 1989 romantic film Maine Pyar Kiya.

Dono is helmed by Sooraj Barjatya’s son Avnish.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
