Max to premiere lootera on saturday and sunday
MUMBAI: MAX, the premium Hindi movies and special events channel brings to you the MAX television Premier of this year’s periodical love story film, ‘LOOTERA’ on Saturday, 23rd November at 9PM and Sunday, 24th November at 1PM only on MAX.
LOOTERA is an intrinsically earnest and profoundly heartwarming story. The movie is partly based on author O. Henry’s 1907 short story ‘The Last Leaf’. Set in the era of 1950s, the film stars Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha. Lootera is a love saga of yore.
Recollecting certain difficulties while shooting the film, Ranveer Singh stated, “Dalhousie was a particularly jinxed and difficult schedule to complete, we had to reschedule the sequence three times and finally got lucky the third time. The first time we went there it was snowing so heavily that the set collapsed under the weight of the snow. The entire set in Dalhousie just caved in. The second time we went there, the conditions were so harsh and I was supposed to do an action sequence and my body was not warmed up. Also, I hurt my back and we had to abandon that schedule too. When we went back the third time there was hardly any snow. So we were just not experiencing the right kind of luck with the weather.”
Watch this year’s periodical love story of two lovers, of heartbreak, betrayal and ultimate redemption in the MAX Television Premiere of LOOTERA on Saturday, 23rd November at 9PM and Sunday, 24th November at 1PM only on MAX

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.
