Cameron’s ‘Dark Angel’ premieres on Star World next week
MUMBAI: Star World will unfurl its bouquet of new shows for the month of October with the much awaited Dark Angel, the science-fiction adventure series set in the near future. The series, the television debut of academy award-winner James Cameron (director of Titanic and The Terminator) will premiere on the channel on 3 October 2002, at 6:30 pm and 10 pm.
The series are set in the year 2019 and begins by showing how the US has become a third world country in the wake of the Pulse – an electromagnetic shockwave unleashed by nuclear terrorists in 2009. The story revolves around Max, a genetically engineered soldier who is on the run from her creators and constantly in search of her past. A revved-up girl trying to make a run-down world a better place, she eventually joins forces with the idealistic cyber-journalist .
Max is being played by Hollywood actress Jessica Alba , a recipient of the 2001 TV Guide Awards’ Breakout Star of the Year and 2001 Saturn Awards’ Best Actress on Television. She plays the role of a genetically enhanced human prototype with attitude to spare. She is aided in her quest — both to avoid capture and to reunite with her surviving “siblings” — by Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly), an idealistic cyber-journalist, who battles corruption and the oppressive establishment in this futuristic landscape.
Dark Angel also stars John Savage as Lydecker, the military operative hunting Max and her “siblings” through this future world.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
