Shemaroo Entertainment launches Bollywood comics
MUMBAI: To engage and entertain Bollywood fanatics, Shemaroo Entertainment has aesthetically converted iconic movies into delightful comic format. Iconic Bollywood movies will now be available as comic books for Bollywood fans to read and experience the fun through words. These comics will be available for the readers in both English and Hindi. The first edition consists of five comic books based on famous Bollywood movies in the English and Hindi language.
The leading global content powerhouse Shemaroo Entertainment was present at the Comicon Festival – an annual comic convention dedicated to all comic lovers in Mumbai. The first series of the comic book was released at the festival, the event brings together comic book readers and ardent comic fans all under one roof. The launch was very well received. The movies included in the first set of comics are some of the most classic Bollywood movies like Amar Akbar Anthony, Jab We Met, Ishqiya, Khakhee, Masti, and many more.
This innovative concept driven by Shemaroo will surely create excitement amongst all the readers. The dialogues and illustrations of actors are something to look forward to in these comics. As the readers dive deeper, they will be transformed to experience these timeless movies. These exciting collections of books will be rolled out to Bollywood fans soon and the readers will have a collection of movie comics to cherish and flaunt as their collectibles.
This collection has been built using automation and AI that Comicflix uses to convert movies to Graphics and Comic Books. These books look like real life characters and gives a very larger than life to the usual idea of comics. Comicflix has been a leader in the AI and automation space and this union with Shemaroo is a classic use case study of the same.
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.
