SANGEET BANGLA PROMISES A SUPER WEEKEND WITH ITS SUPER SUNDAY SEGMENT
Kolkata: Sangeet Bangla, the no.1 Bengali Music Channel, predominantly ruling Eastern India, have started a new segment called “SB Super Sunday” from 11th March. The main aim is to give audience a perfect end to their week.
In the first week, it started off with the quintessential combination of Movie, Music and World TV Premiere, an idea of revolving 360 degree route by providing non-stop entertainment to the mass.
On 11 March, the line-up was:
Starting with Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne – The classic film by Satyajit Ray (3-6pm)
Next, Gaan Piriti – The Biggest Bangla music concert (6-9pm)
And last, World TV Premiere of Hello – A Hoichoi Original web series (9-10pm)
After the success of the first edition of Super Sunday, Sangeet Bangla decided the jazz it up the following week by bringing an iconic pair like Sharmila Tagore and Soumitra Chatterjee starrer Aranyer Din Ratri (3 PM to 6 PM) and a horror web series, Cartoon, starring Paayel Sarkar in her first ever web series (9 PM to 10 PM).
The following two weeks had their viewers’ weekend spiced up, as promised with National Award winning Satyajit Ray film Pratidwandi and a Women-Centric web series called Bouma Detective, which has Bollywood actor Rohit Roy as the male protagonist; and Arundhati Devi’s Chhuti, and a non-fiction show about four college students exploring the unexplored supernatural zones of Kolkata in Bhootoorey.
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.
