Sony Max to premiere ‘Youngistaan’
MUMBAI: Max, the premium Hindi movies and special events channel brings you the world television premiere of Youngistaan, a love story set against the backdrop of Indian politics on Sunday, 20th July at 1 pm and 8pm respectively.
The movie directed by Syed Ahmad Afzal has Jackky Bhagnani playing the lead actor, along with Neha Sharma and the late Farooque Shaikh and Boman Irani. Touching upon burning issues in the country, the movie is relatable and with its little intrigues makes for an interesting watch.
The film revolves around a young, independent, games developer Abhimanyu Kaul (Jackky Bhagnani) residing in Japan who is pulled into political action upon the demise of his father – the current Prime Minister of India. He is forced to give up his otherwise normal and private life to live under the public scanner which irks his live-in girlfriend, Anwita Chauhan (Neha Sharma).
Commenting on the film, Jackky Bhagnani said, “The film has a very strong message that if you need change, you’ll have to make the effort and stop waiting for other people to do it.”
“As the name suggests Youngistaan stands for the youth by the youth and of the youth of India. The film is a common live story in a very uncommon premise,” added Bhagnani.
So go ahead and enjoy this romantic political drama this weekend!

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.
