Aditya Gadhvi and Falguni Pathak unite for Rangaara
Mumbai: Haalo re haalo! Gujarat na Rangaara aavya che! Riding high on the success of “Khalasi,” the trio of Aditya Gadhvi, writer Saumya Joshi, and music director Achint Thakkar are back with “Rangaara,” a vibrant celebration of Gujarati culture and artistry. Adding to the brilliance, the Falguni Pathak joins this cultural powerhouse.
Aditya Gadhvi, deeply rooted in Gujarat’s rich heritage, passionately believes that ‘regional is the new global’. “I see that our music resonates with people, not only in Gujarat but globally, like our previous song, Gotilo. People can see their own lives, and their own culture, whether through music, movies, serials, or OTT series. They will like it when they see their home represented,” Gadhvi reflects. Our collaboration for ‘Rangaara’ goes beyond creating music; it’s a heartfelt tribute to Gujarat’s cultural tapestry. Gadhvi emphasizes, “Regional content is not just relevant; it’s powerful representation of culture. The world is ready to embrace the beauty and depth of regional expressions.”
On collaborating with the dandiya queen Falguni Pathak Aditya shared, “It felt really good, and I had been wanting to work with her for a long time. We have listened to her songs for many years, heard about her famous Garba songs during Navratri, and seen it. And today, for the first time, I got the chance to do a song with her.”
On reuniting with Achint Thakkar and Saumya Joshi, Gadhvi shared, “Whenever we come together, it is always a matter of great joy for us. When it comes to any form of creativity, if you find people whose wavelength matches yours, whose vibes resonate with yours, it is considered a great blessing for an artist.”
“Rangaara” is more than a song; it’s a vibrant thread in the colourful fabric of Gujarati culture, ready to captivate hearts across the globe with Asal Entertainment leading the charge.

Subedaar puts Indian original cinema on the global map with record-breaking Prime Video debut
MUMBAI: Prime Video has a runaway hit on its hands. Subedaar, the gritty action drama starring Anil Kapoor, has stormed to become the most-watched Indian original movie on the platform in its opening weekend, cracking the Top 10 across 31 countries and landing in 91 per cent of India’s pin codes within days of its March 5 premiere.
The film, a visceral, emotionally-charged story of a retired soldier, Subedaar Arjun Maurya, wrestling with civilian life amid crime and corruption, has struck a nerve. Directed by Suresh Triveni and co-starring Radhikka Madan, Mona Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Faisal Malik, and Khushboo Sundar, the film is already being hailed as a showcase for what Indian original storytelling can achieve on the world stage.
“Subedaar’s success is a reflection of the growing scale and global resonance of Indian storytelling,” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India. “The film’s emotional narrative, its rooted portrayal of a soldier confronting his toughest battles beyond the battlefield, has struck a chord. Anil Kapoor delivers an acting masterclass, while Suresh Triveni’s solid direction and great performances from the ensemble cast have resulted in love and appreciation from customers across the world.”
Kapoor, 62, has been here before, but rarely at this altitude. Written by Triveni and Prajwal Chandrashekar, with dialogues by Triveni, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Chandrashekar, the film is a production by Opening Image Films in association with Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network (AKFCN), produced by Vikram Malhotra, Kapoor, and Triveni.
Subedaar streams exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu across India, and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
For Prime Video, the numbers tell the real story: one weekend, one film, a global footprint, and a very loud signal that Indian original cinema is no longer just travelling well. It’s arriving.
