The fest will also comprise art zones, a curated bazaar, and experiential brand interactions.
Kommune co-founder Roshan Abbas said, “Spoken Fest is back with its physical format after a year. What makes Spoken Fest unique is that it is the only festival that asks you to tune in, not tune out. We’ve seen our audience emotionally and intellectually engage with the performances. Brands that target millennials and young adults today through experiences have worked with Kommune’s Spoken Fest in the past and enjoyed the power of building communities and content via the festival. Our quality of experience and content is unique and well curated. And all at a price point that is very affordable.”
A platform for budding and established poets and artists, Spoken Fest 2022 aims to be a cultural melee of music, dance, drama, words and linguistically inclusive performances in languages as varied as Urdu, Hindi, Marathi, and English. A confluence of people, personalities, and passions, the fest positions itself as being a safe space for cultures, embraces and even encourages diversity, and aims to inspire.

Kalyan Jewellers launches Nimah Collection campaign
New temple-inspired jewellery range stars Sreeleela and Kalyani Priyadarshan.
MUMBAI: Kalyan Jewellers has given temple jewellery a cinematic glow-up and this time, it’s sparkling with star power and storytelling. The leading jewellery brand has unveiled a new campaign for its Nimah Collection, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan and featuring brand ambassadors Sreeleela and Kalyani Priyadarshan. Built around the powerful idea of “A Legacy You Wear”, the campaign presents a cinematic celebration of India’s rich temple jewellery traditions, positioning them as timeless expressions of identity, strength, and artistry.
The film brings mythology and classical performance together in a fresh narrative. Sreeleela’s character embodies strength and discipline, moving from archery to classical dance, with bold temple jewellery accentuating her power. In contrast, Kalyani Priyadarshan’s portrayal explores introspection and creativity through music and writing, highlighted by finer detailing and understated elegance. Together, the two personas showcase the Nimah collection as heritage jewellery that remains relevant across generations.
The Nimah range draws inspiration from South Indian temple jewellery and features intricate Nakashi (hand-carved) work. It includes statement bridal necklaces and haarams, temple-inspired chokers, earrings, jhumkas, rings, and chains perfect for both bridal and festive occasions.
Every piece in the collection comes with Kalyan Jewellers’ trusted 4-Level Assurance Certificate, guaranteeing purity, free lifetime maintenance, and transparent buy-back policies.
The campaign is now live across digital platforms, and the Nimah collection is available at Kalyan Jewellers showrooms nationwide.
In a market often crowded with glitter, Kalyan Jewellers has chosen to shine through meaningful storytelling. With “A Legacy You Wear,” the brand reminds us that the most beautiful jewellery doesn’t just adorn, it carries stories, culture, and timeless elegance forward.
