‘Ghoom’ to premier on MTV on17 June
After a successful few weeks at the box office, ‘Ghoom’, MTV’s first film will premier on the channel on June 17, 2006 at 8 pm. Produced under the banner of MTV Fully Faltoo Films, this 45-minute comedy-action flick will have you rolling on the floor – we promise!
‘Ghoom’, with its wickedly twisted comic plot has a stellar cast comprising Sumeet Raghavan known for his role in ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’, Ajay Gehi of ‘Maqbool’ fame, Gaurav Kapoor, who’s done shows like ‘Dil Kya Chahta Hai’ along with Benika and Purbi Joshi. With talent like that, the plot is far from simple – it’s a laugh-a-second rollercoaster that is packed with hilarious detailing round every corner with incredibly funny cops-and-robbers chases, absurd wardrobe changes and silly romantic scenes … need we go on?
‘Ghoom’ is about this super-cop (read as blooper-cop) who wants to nab a gang of 5 biker thieves, who also double up as pizza delivery guys, to hide their real vocation. Being the fast-ones-on-fast machines, they always escape our super-cop. So, bullying someone (who is as fast as them), into joining him seems the only option left for our super-cop, to be able to foil their next robbery. Thus enters this mechanic, who turns out to be a bigger idiot than the cop. The mega robbery (that’s supposed to happen at a well known dance bar) finally turns into a riot of idiotic incidents.
So, watch out for ‘Ghoom’…only on MTV! Enjoy!
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
