Two days of ‘Night’ on Star Movies
MUMBAI: Star Movies has planned two consecutive Saturday nights this August dedicated to critically-acclaimed director Manoj Night Shyamalan and his movies.
The channel is not only airing Night’s blockbusters Signs and Unbreakable on but is all set to give a peek into the making of the much anticipated suspense flick The Village, already a chart topper at the US box office. The viewers will also be treated with an exclusive seven and a half minute- preview of the blockbuster, right after Unbreakable.
Mel Gibson starrer Signs would be aired today (Saturday) 14 August at 6.50 pm. The thriller set in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, is about the mysterious appearance of a five hundred foot-design of circles and lines carved into a family’s crops. Mel Gibson as Graham Hess, the family patriarch, is tested in his journey to find the truth behind the unfolding mystery.
Shyamalan himself offers insights into the making of The Village in the breaks of the movie. At the end of the movie, viewers get to watch the premiere of the trailer for The Village.
Unbreakable, starring Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson, which will hit the screen next Saturday, 21 August is an interesting story shared by two men. David Dunn, a man from a blue-collar neighborhood in Philadelphia emerges unharmed as the sole survivor of a devastating train accident. Enter Elijah Price, a mysterious stranger who offers a bizarre explanation as to why David escaped without a single scratch, an explanation that threatens to change David’s family and life forever.
At the end of the movie, the never seen before footage of The Village will be aired. Star Movies is rounding off this mega treat with, as the channel promises to be, an exciting contest for its viewers.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
