MUMBAI: Excel Home Videos has released Sarina Jain’s Masala Bhangra Workout album on DVD. It consists of a mix of traditional Punjabi folk dances and fitness mantras aimed at exercising the complete body.
The DVD features various types of workouts including a Bollywoood style workout and will be available at book stores across the country, states an official release.
Excel Home Videos managing director M.N Kapasi said, “The product has a far reaching potential in the Indian horizon with fitness consciousness gaining momentum in the country. With an option that breaks the monotony in exercising and makes the process enjoyable as dancing at a wedding or a discotheque, Masala Bhangra is here to stay.”
Jain says, “People fall in love with the beat of Bhangra — the beat of the dhol drum, combined with sensuous, strong movements generates so much excitement. Bhangra is a celebratory music and dance form. It’s joyful, it offers great music, and people have so much fun they don’t realize they are getting an awesome cardiovascular and muscle strengthening workout. Bringing the Masala Bhangra Workout’ to people in India is so gratifying and my tribute to the origins of this great dance form.”
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
