Shemaroo celebrates Valentine’s Day with romantic DVD collection
MUMBAI: Valentine’s day is just round the corner. Shemaroo has released a collection of a two DVD collection carrying special love songs.
Thecollection called I am in love comes in two volumes. The first volume has some of the greatest romantic hits while the second volume has some of the greatest romantic duets.
All songs that have been chosen strung together can be distinctly remembered for the way the actors and actresses made viewers visualise the beauty in melody. Hence, instead of just listening to them, it will be an experience that the viewers can watch and enjoy with these DVDs.
The first DVD has melodies from films like Bobby (Main Shayar To Nahin), Blackmail (Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas) Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (Ae Kaash Ke Hum Hosh), last year’s hit from Murder (Bheege Hont Tere) and many others that are still watched and enjoyed. The songs capture the change in the idea of romance across generations. While Bobby’s songs were the rage of its generation, Murder’s songs present the more unabashed view of today.
For those looking for a gift straight from the heart this Valentine’s, Shemaroo also has special collection of Valentine VCDs too. There is Tumhare Liye, a collection of love songs.
There is also a You are my Valentine twin VCD pack. Specially packaged in a red rectangular pack, the first VCD contains classic romantic hits while the second VCD contains romantic hits from newer films.
In addition there is Magic of love. This consists of three film VCDs in one pack – Pardes, Yaadein and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Kenneth Roman, former Ogilvy CEO and ad industry veteran, passes away at 95
Longtime Ogilvy & Mather leader and David Ogilvy biographer leaves lasting legacy
NEW YORK: Kenneth Roman, the former chairman and chief executive of Ogilvy & Mather and a defining figure of Madison Avenue’s golden era, has passed away at the age of 95. He died on 22 April 2026 at his home in Manhattan.
Roman spent more than two decades at Ogilvy, joining in 1963 as an account executive and steadily rising through the ranks to lead the agency as chairman and CEO from 1985 to 1989. His tenure coincided with a pivotal period in the company’s history, including its acquisition by WPP.
Beyond the boardroom, Roman was widely respected as the definitive chronicler of the agency’s founder, David Ogilvy. His biography, The King of Madison Avenue, remains one of the most authoritative accounts of modern advertising’s evolution. He also co-authored influential titles such as How to Advertise and Writing That Works, both regarded as essential reading in the industry.
In a tribute, Ogilvy described Roman as a “quietly determined” leader and a lifelong custodian of the agency’s culture. Even after retirement, he remained closely connected to the firm, contributing articles, mentoring talent and serving as a trusted voice on its history and values.
Colleagues remember him not just for his leadership, but for his generosity and commitment to the craft of writing and storytelling. His presence at industry events and continued engagement with the Ogilvy community reflected a career that never quite slowed down.
Roman’s passing marks the end of an era for the original Madison Avenue generation. He leaves behind a legacy shaped by leadership, authorship and an enduring belief in the power of ideas and people.
