MUMBAI: Hinduja TMT’s wholly-owned subsidiary InNetwork Entertainment is reaping the benefits of Baghban’s success.
According to a company release, InNetwork association with the recent BR Chopra blockbuster Baghban is yielding good results with the film turning out to be a hit in both the domestic as well as the international circuits.
Apart from being a world right controller of the film for the next 10 years, InNetwork is entitled to 10 per cent of the total value for which various rights have been sold. This includes the total coverage and 40 per cent of producers’ share of overflow.
InNetwork, quoting trade reports, says the revenue of the film in the first eight weeks has been Rs 80 million (net) in the domestic market and a similar amount in overseas market.
While InNetwork has received Rs 12 million towards 10 per cent of total coverage, the company’s share of the overflow from producers’ account is expected to be in the region of Rs 10 million. The overseas rights of the film have been purchased and sold at a profit and the overflow over a minimum guarantee collection in the overseas market will also accrue to the company, says the release.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
