MUMBAI: The recently concluded TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards has been a star-studded event that paid tribute to the two significant milestones in the Indian television and entertainment industry. The first element was observing the golden jubilee of Doordarshan (DD Bangla), whose invaluable contribution paved the way for the shaping of the broadcasting industry. The event felicitated TV personalities who had immensely contributed to the development of the television industry since the Doordarshan days.
The second highlight of this event was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beloved Bengali detective character Feluda, created by the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray. TV9 Bangla honoured all the actors to date who played the role of Feluda.
TV9 Bangla managing editor and business head Amritanshu Bhattacharya, asserted, “The first edition of TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards was a runaway success. On witnessing the overwhelming response, we have organised the second edition of the TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards this year in a grand way. With the wholehearted support of the Tollywood, television & OTT industry players, this event has grown in stature. Last year, we included TV & OTT that had earned immense popularity. Hence, this year, we have included Movie releases in OTT as well. I am confident that this event will further escalate & reach a greater height of success next year onwards.”

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
