Star Movies to telecast 6th episode of ‘Taken’
MUMBAI: Star Movies will premiere the sixth episode of Steven Spielberg’s Taken at 9 pm on Sunday (16 November).
The sixth episode, Charlie And Lisa, is a part of the 10-episode miniseries, rights for which Star Movies won from from DreamWorks in April.
Charlie And Lisa, will reveal dreadful conspiracies from the other world of aliens, a company release informs.
In the episode, the children of Jacob Clarke (Chad Donella) and Jesse Keys (Desmond Harrington) – who died mysteriously in the earlier episodes – become the focus of a government investigation as well as alien interest in the year 1983.
With the deaths of Keys and Clarke, the aliens begin to focus on their children, Charlie (Adam Kaufman) and Lisa (Emily Bergl). Lisa is protected by the aliens, while Charlie remains the subject of alien study.
In the episode, Heather Donahue portrays Mary Crawford, a ruthless and conniving young girl who relentlessly hunts down the alien-hybrids who may hold the answers to the questions her family has been asking since the Roswell crash of 1947.
Donahue is quoted in a release as saying, that she had the best time playing Mary. “It was fabulous. I didn’t see all the scripts when I started, and when I did see them, I loved it.”
Donahue’s last hit was The Blair Witch Project. Taken is Donahue’s first extended foray into television.

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.
