Yavatmal’s Yuvraj Rathod wins a car on Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan
Mumbai: Even as the TATA IPL 2024 continued to enthral fans and viewers with exciting action on the ground, JioCinema continued to bring the same excitement on their platform as Week 2 saw Yavatmal-based Yuvraj Rathod winning an elegant hatchback by playing Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan.
“I am very happy to have won the car by playing Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan as this is the first time that our family will own a car,” said Rathod, a 20-year-old son of a farmer.
Tripura’s Satyajog Das won a bike the night Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a narrow 2-run win over Punjab Kings on March 25. Suresh Thakor from Anand, Gujarat, won a Smart TV during the same match. Chennai Super Kings’ 63-run win over Gujarat Titans the following day gave Manipur’s Khulakpam Shahadat Ali keys to his new two-wheeler and Puducherry’s Nalam Rao a Smart TV.
Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan got its first winner from Jammu & Kashmir as Arshid Hussain Dar got a bike during the run-fest between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians on March 27, and the first winner from Karnataka as Krushnanaik U got home a Smart TV. Match Day 9 was lucky for Ahmedabad residents as Vijaydan Gadhavi won a bike and Rinku Rathor won a Smart TV playing Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan during Rajasthan Royals’ win over Delhi Capitals.
Satara’s Sagar Pujari won a bike when Royal Challengers Bengaluru became the first team this season to lose a match at home. Shyamu Bind won a Smart TV the same night and became the first person from Uttar Pradesh to win a prize on Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan this season.

Free-to-play, Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan will also offer viewers multiple brand coupons of great value and discount coupons for buying exclusive stickers on JioCinema for every right answer. Viewers can hold the phone in portrait or landscape mode, a new feature for fans this year, and that will open a chat box at the bottom of the screen where the question appears before every over along with four options. Viewers who give the most correct answers during the match, stand a chance to win the grand prizes.
Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan aims to enhance the viewer’s experience and involvement while watching the TATA IPL on JioCinema vis-à-vis passively watching the league on legacy platforms. Introduced last season, Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan was an instant success as lucky contestants drove away a premium hatchback car. Within just one season of IPL, Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan became a platform for heartwarming tales of changed fortunes from India’s heartlands.
Fans can watch the latest season of the TATA IPL for free in 4K across 12 languages introducing Haryanvi for the first time, multi-cam options including the much-hyped Hero Cam, and many more fan-engagement features in addition to Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan.
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
