Ram Madhvani, Mahaveer Jain discuss cinema’s role in nation building at IFFI 2025: “We have forgotten the tragic hero”
National Award-winning filmmaker and Emmy-nominated director Ram Madhvani, and acclaimed Indian film producer Mahaveer Jain came together at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa for an engaging conversation on “The Power and Impact of Our Stories on Nation Building”. The engaging session was moderated by Divyansh Jain, the youngest producer and director of the film industry at present. Founded in 1952, IFFI remains the only South Asian film festival accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations (FIAPF) in the Competitive Feature Films category. Each year, it continues to curate and celebrate landmark cinema from across the globe. The insightful session featuring Mahaveer Jain and Ram Madhvani explored storytelling, the values that guide creators, and the cultural influences shaping their work, while also highlighting filmmakers’ responsibility and cinema’s emotional impact. Talking about the cultural values that India holds, cinematic philosopher Ram Madhvani shared, “India has always been a civilisation shaped by stories. Whether it is the Ramayana or the Mahabharata, these epics were more than tales; they were moral compasses, emotional guides, and reflections of who we are. As creators today, we inherit that legacy. Our responsibility is to craft stories that not only entertain but also carry forward the values, questions, and memories that define us. I believe storytelling is a sacred act, one that allows us to understand ourselves better and to show the world who India truly is.’’Further speaking about India’s cultural and spiritual legacy, renowned producer Mahaveer Jain emphasized the importance of sharing the country’s ancient wisdom with global audiences through cinema and entertainment. He noted “We have solutions for everything in the ancient wisdom that our own sages have given us,” noted Mahaveer Jain. “If India can gift something to the entire world, it is this our ancient wisdom. This wisdom is what we should be propagating through the entertainment medium, which is also what I request you all to do,” he observed. Speaking about his filmmaking approach and the emotion he strives to evoke in audiences, visionary director Ram Madhvani shared, “I am interested in tragedy. We have forgotten the tragic hero. We have the romantic, action and comedy heroes, but the tragic hero or heroine Meena Kumari, Dilip Kumar, even Shah Rukh Khan are people who actually affected us. Tragedy is a thing I feel that we are missing. In everything that I do, the one nerve that I want to press, to cleanse you is to make you cry. With everything that you are going through in your life if I can use the work that I am putting out there to try and see how you can achieve catharsis, that is what I would like to do.”He also added, “Guide was one of the greatest spiritual films made in India. I aspire to make another one!”The International Film Festival of India continues to serve as a vital platform where filmmakers, producers, and storytellers come together to explore cinema’s role in shaping culture, identity, and national narrative.

EXCLUSIVE: Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar Part 1 expected to be 3 hours 32 minutes long; will be Bollywood’s LONGEST film since Jodhaa Akbar
Bollywood Hungama has been at the forefront in delivering breaking news about the much-awaited film, Dhurandhar. We were the first to announce that the Ranveer Singh-starrer is a two-part saga; this news created a stir in the industry. Prior to this newsbreak, we informed readers that Dhurandhar is expected to last 3 hours. Bollywood Hungama has now learned that the run time of the first part of Dhurandhar is longer than expected. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar Part 1’s length is said to be around 3 hours and 32 minutes. The final run time has been kept under wraps. But it’s expected to be close to 3 ½ hours long. The process of acquiring the censor certificate has begun. Once the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passes the film in a few days from now, the exact run time will be known.”An insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Dhurandhar tells a vast story and hence the lengthy run time. Director Aditya Dhar is an expert storyteller. Look at Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) or his productions like Article 370 (2024), Dhoom Dhaam (2025) and the recently-released Baramulla (2025). He always ensures that there’s a lot happening in his films and that the goings-on don’t feel stretched. Dhurandhar’s storytelling will be on the same lines. There would be so much happening that the audience would be gripped from start to finish.”If Dhurandhar indeed has a run time of 3 hours and 32 minutes, it’ll be Bollywood’s longest film since Jodhaa Akbar (2008).

21 Pictures of Cats Hiding From the Cold in Full Hibernation Mode
When the cold hits, cats don’t just get cozy. They enter full hibernation mood. One minute they’re walking around like normal, and the next they’ve disappeared, swallowed by a pile of blankets that somehow transforms into a perfectly cat-shaped bundle. They don’t politely lie under the covers, either. They digging in, kneading, and wriggling until they’ve created the warmest, softest cave known to humankind. Once they’ve settled into their blanket fort, good luck getting them out. You can shake the treat bag, open a can, or try gently lifting a corner to see if they’re still breathing, but nothing interrupts the sacred winter nap. Occasionally, you’ll see a little nose, a paw, or an ear poking out like a furry periscope checking if the world is still cold. If the temperature hasn’t improved, they burrow right back in without hesitation. Cats take hibernation personally, and honestly, they might be onto something. Why face frosty floors and chilly windowsills when you can snooze through winter wrapped like a purrito? Some days, we’d all rather hide in a blanket cave, too.

Border 2’s music coup: Diljit Dosanjh joins Sonu Nigam & Arijit Singh for the legendary Sandese Aate Hai rebirth
In what is already being called one of the most ambitious musical collaborations in recent memory, the makers of Border 2 are gearing up to unveil a recreated version of the iconic patriotic anthem ‘Sandese Aate Hai’. The new rendition brings together two of India’s most powerful contemporary voices Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh and is being positioned for a worldwide launch.

A senior industry insider, speaking to Bollywood Hungama, said, “The team wanted a voice that bridges authenticity and modern appeal that’s where Diljit fits in effortlessly. He adds a distinct emotional texture to the track. With Sonu bringing legacy and Arijit bringing contemporary depth, this combination is unlike anything we’ve heard in a patriotic film in years.”The recreation is being treated as a prestige project, with the makers reportedly planning a large-scale promotional rollout to match the legacy of the original song. The track is expected to serve as a centrepiece of Border 2, which marks the return of Sunny Deol to one of the most defining cinematic spaces of his career. Alongside Deol, the film boasts an ensemble featuring Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Suniel Shetty, and Tiger Shroff, setting the stage for a multi-generational war drama. Fans can also look forward to an exclusive glimpse of the OG Border star power, with Sunny Deol once again leading the charge in this sweeping patriotic narrative.
