Birla Opus Paints colours Diwali with love
MUMBAI: Looks like this Diwali isn’t getting cancelled, only coloured brighter! Birla Opus Paints has unwrapped the festive season with a touching new digital film that turns the spotlight from fireworks to family.
Titled Kya iss baar Diwali cancel?, the film beautifully brings alive Birla Opus Paints’ philosophy, Duniya ko rang do, reminding viewers that the true sparkle of Diwali lies not in lights or rituals, but in the warmth of togetherness.
The story follows a retired couple excitedly prepping their home for their son’s visit. When plans suddenly change and he cancels, disappointment threatens to dim their joy. But the father chooses to celebrate anyway, painting their home in his son’s favourite colour. As the couple light up their freshly painted house, they rediscover that love itself can illuminate any festival.
Birla Opus Paints head of marketing Inderpreet Singh said, “What makes festivals memorable are the emotions behind the preparations, the anticipation, and the joy of being together. Our film celebrates this essence of togetherness and the role of colours in bringing people closer.”
Echoing the sentiment, Leo South Asia chief creative officer Sachin Kamble added, “Diwali isn’t about grandeur; it’s about the relationships that colour our lives. In the Birla Opus world, colour doesn’t just beautify walls, it builds bonds.”
Launched under Aditya Birla Group’s Grasim Industries, Birla Opus Paints continues to paint the town with emotion, crafting stories that prove when it comes to celebrating love and family, no festival is ever truly cancelled.

year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
