&Pictures to premiere Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Khoobsurat’
MUMBAI: &pictures, has set the stage for the premiere of the modern day fairytale ‘Khoobsurat’ on Saturday, 11 July 8 pm. The ultimate family entertainer can be enjoyed by both younger and the older generation stars incandescent Sonam Kapoor, Bollywood hearthrob Fawad Khan and a fabulous supporting cast including acting heavyweight Kiron Kher and Ratna Pathak Shah.
Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, a breezy romantic comedy ‘Khoobsurat’ narrates the story of perky and free spirited physiotherapist Mili (Sonam Kapoor) who due to the inability of her colleague has to treat a wheelchair-bound morose middle-aged noble Shekhar Singh Rathore (Hussain). Right from the word go, the very outspoken Mili finds herself to be a ‘royal misfit’ in the royal palace of Sambhalgarh, which is ‘manned’ by the lady of the house, Queen Nirmala Devi Rathore (Ratna Pathak Shah). The story further complicates when Mili ends up falling for AnchorPrince Vikram Rathore (Fawad Khan) who is antithesis of unabashedly vocal Mili.
Zee Hndi Movie Channels deputy business head Ruchir Tiwari said, “The essence of Khoobsurat is to love and be yourself and a refreshing love story that can be enjoyed by every member of the family. At &pictures, we aim at providing new and exciting content to our audiences and I am certain that the film will definitely be loved by all.”
With an interesting soundtrack composed by sound tripper Sneha Khanwalkar, the film also marks fabulous cinematography capturing the magnificent and palatial locations across Rajasthan.

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.
