Prime Video has unveiled its most ambitious India Originals slate to date, announcing nearly 55 titles — including series, films, returning seasons, and theatrical releases — at the Prime Video Presents 2026 showcase held recently.

The streamer is doubling down on franchise-building, regional diversity, and a bold push into theatrical cinema through Amazon MGM Studios, aiming to deliver culturally rooted stories with global appeal. Executives emphasized India’s role as a key growth market, where nearly two-thirds of users enjoy content in multiple languages, and Indian originals drive significant international viewership.

Highlighting fan-favorite returns, the slate includes eagerly awaited new seasons of blockbuster franchises:

  • Panchayat Season 5, continuing the beloved rural comedy-drama starring Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, and Raghubir Yadav.
  • Farzi Season 2, with Shahid Kapoor reprising his role in the gripping con-artist thriller.
  • Dahaad Season 2, featuring Sonakshi Sinha in the crime investigation series.
  • Other returning hits like Call Me Bae Season 2 (Ananya Panday), Dupahiya Season 2, The Traitors Season 2 (hosted by Karan Johar), and more.

A major cinematic expansion comes with Mirzapur: The Movie, bringing the gritty crime saga from series to the big screen. The film reunites stars Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, and the ensemble cast, promising an intense theatrical experience before streaming on Prime Video.

New original projects add fresh excitement, including:

  • The Revolutionaries — a large-scale drama directed by Nikkhil Advani, starring Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta, and Gurfateh Pirzada.
  • Matka King — featuring Vijay Varma.
  • Raakh — with Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre.
  • Lukkhe — marking rapper KING’s acting debut.
  • Vansh – The Kalyug Warriors — touted as India’s first homegrown Hindi superhero series for streaming.
  • Additional titles like Welcome to Khoya Mahal, Teen Kauwe (Bobby Deol), and others.

Star-backed productions shine through new partnerships: Hrithik Roshan’s HRX Films presents the series Storm and film Mess, while Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions backs Don’t Be Shy.

Theatrical push via Amazon MGM Studios includes five upcoming films set for cinema release (followed by Prime Video streaming): Raftaar (Rajkummar Rao and Keerthy Suresh), VIBE (directed by Kunal Kemmu, featuring Preity Zinta), Dilkashi (music by A.R. Rahman), Nayyi Navelli (Yami Gautam), and Kuku Ki Kundli (Bhuvan Bam and Wamiqa Gabbi).

Regional storytelling gets a boost with Tamil and Telugu content, such as the Telugu adaptation of The Traitors (hosted by Teja Sajja), Exam (Tamil), returning seasons of Vadhandhi and Inspector Rishi, and more.

The announcements reflect Prime Video’s strategy to strengthen franchises, expand accessibility through tiered pricing and multilingual offerings, and position Indian content as a global powerhouse.

Stay tuned to Approach Bollywood Newswire & App for exclusive updates, first looks, and release details as these projects roll out throughout 2026.

Fury on the Shortwave, a new anti-war short film written, directed, and produced by Khalid Hasan Khan, offers a darkly satirical look at how war narratives infiltrate everyday life through media.

The film with the tagline “War Amplified, Hunger Intensified” stars veteran theatre artist, Wali Shaikh, as a lone man trapped in a city where the electric grid has been hacked and cable television has gone silent amid a regional conflict. With only a shortwave radio left for connection to the outside world, he begins scanning stations across borders and frequencies.

At first bored, he gradually turns into an ironic commentator on the dramatic announcements of radio hosts, war bulletins, economic speculation, propaganda, and market profiteering. As the voices on air grow increasingly sensational, the man finds himself strangely entertained by the unfolding chaos. Slowly, he begins to mirror the tone and rhythm of the broadcasters, almost becoming a human radio himself.

But the illusion of distant war collapses, when he realizes that the real consequences, the newborn twins of war: famine and disease, are not far from his own doorstep.

Fury on the Short Wave First Look

Through minimal setting and sharp dialogue, Fury on the Shortwave examines the transformation of an ordinary listener into a passive consumer of conflict, questioning how media can normalize violence and economic opportunism during wartime.

The film is an original screenplay by Khalid Hasan Khan, whose cinematic work often blends political satire with minimalist storytelling. 

About Khalid Hasan Khan

Khalid Hasan Khan is an independent award-winning filmmaker, a Hollywood graduate, known for socially conscious short films and experimental narratives, exploring how media, technology, and power shape human perception in times of crisis. He has won over 26 international awards with over 100 screenings in the international film circuits.

New Delhi, 10 March 2026: McDonald’s India – North and East today announced actor Sara Arjun as its Brand Ambassador, marking a nostalgic homecoming for the young star who once won hearts in a beloved McDonald’s television commercial as a child.

Years later, Sara returns to the brand in a new role, celebrating the joy of sharing meals and the timeless connection many customers have grown up with at McDonald’s. A long-time fan of the brand, she now also joins McDonald’s as its Brand Ambassador.

The collaboration comes to life through the launch of a new TVC introducing the Buddy Meal, a value-packed offering designed for friends who love sharing good food and great moments together.

Priced at ₹119, the Buddy Meal includes two burgers, customers can choose between the iconic McAloo Tikki or Veg Surprise along with two Coke and one medium fries, bringing together familiar favourites in a meal made for two.

The new Buddy Meal film recreates the classic “girlfriend–boyfriend” banter from the original ad, blending nostalgia with humour. In a playful exchange, Sara jokes about how relationships today have become “too demanding,” with her buddy expecting grand gestures and even a bit of “princess treatment.” When her buddy admits he simply wants a McAloo Tikki, the moment underscores a relatable truth, sometimes, uncomplicated joy is all it takes.

The banter wraps up with the voiceover reveal: “Shukar hai McDonald’s Buddy Meal for 2 hai… starts at just ₹119.” The film closes with the couple happily sharing the Buddy Meal, reinforcing the campaign’s message “Khao Meal, Baat Ke” – a celebration of sharing, simplicity and smart value.

Commenting on the association, Anant Agarwal, Vice Chairman, MMG Group and CPRL“At McDonald’s India – North and East, we have always believed in creating moments that bring people together. Sara’s return to McDonald’s is a wonderful reminder of the deep emotional connections many customers have grown up with. With the Buddy Meal, we are celebrating friendship, nostalgia and the simple joy of sharing a McDonald’s meal together at great value.”

Sharing her thoughts, Actor Sara Arjun said, “McDonald’s has been a special part of my journey since childhood. Returning to the brand for this campaign feels incredibly nostalgic. The Buddy Meal captures the simple joy of sharing food and laughter with friends, and it’s wonderful to be part of a story that brings back such fond memories while creating new ones.”

By bringing back a familiar face from one of its memorable campaigns, McDonald’s India – North and East taps into the nostalgia many customers feel for the brand while inviting a new generation to create their own moments at McDonald’s.

Available across McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India for a limited period, the Buddy Meal can be enjoyed via dine-in, takeaway, drive-thru, the McDonald’s App and leading food delivery platforms.

In the ever-evolving landscape of global streaming, few series manage to blend emotional depth with gripping mystery quite like Netflix’s The Survivors (2025), the six-episode Australian limited series adapted from Jane Harper’s acclaimed novel. This Tasmanian-set thriller is a triumph of storytelling—raw, atmospheric, and profoundly moving—proving once again why Australian drama continues to set the bar high for character-driven suspense.

The plot is masterfully layered and immersive: Fifteen years after a devastating storm claimed the lives of two young men and led to the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl in the fictional coastal town of Evelyn Bay, Tasmania, Kieran Elliott (Charlie Vickers) returns home with his partner Mia (Yerin Ha) and their infant daughter to care for his ailing parents. What begins as a reluctant homecoming quickly unravels when the discovery of a young woman’s body on the beach dredges up old wounds, long-buried secrets, and festering resentments within the tight-knit community. The narrative weaves past and present seamlessly, exploring guilt, survival, community fractures, and the enduring impact of tragedy without ever feeling contrived. Every revelation feels earned, building tension organically while delivering emotional punches that resonate long after viewing.

The direction, helmed by Cherie Nowlan and Ben C. Lucas under creator Tony Ayres’ vision, is exquisite—slow-burning yet intensely compelling. The pacing allows grief and suspense to simmer, creating a palpable sense of unease that keeps you glued to the screen. The series excels in its use of atmosphere: the wild, rugged Tasmanian coastline becomes a character in itself, with crashing waves, dramatic cliffs, and isolated beaches mirroring the characters’ inner turmoil. Filming locations in Tasmania—particularly around Eaglehawk Neck, Pirates Bay, Hobart, and spots like Fossil Island and Descent Beach—lend an authentic, otherworldly beauty that enhances the story’s themes of isolation and haunting memories. The visuals are stunning, turning the landscape into a metaphor for unresolved pain and the relentless pull of the past.

The cast delivers standout performances across the board. Charlie Vickers anchors the series as Kieran with quiet intensity and vulnerability—his portrayal of a man burdened by survivor’s guilt is nuanced and heartbreaking. Yerin Ha shines as Mia, bringing warmth, strength, and emotional complexity to a character navigating love, loyalty, and rediscovered truths. Robyn Malcolm is riveting as Verity, Kieran’s mother, capturing the raw edges of blame and loss. Damien Garvey adds poignant depth as the father grappling with Alzheimer’s, while Jessica De Gouw, George Mason, Thom Green, and others flesh out a rich ensemble of flawed, relatable individuals whose interconnected lives drive the drama forward. The chemistry feels genuine, making the community’s tensions and tenderness all the more believable.

Dialogue is sharp, understated, and powerfully authentic—Australian accents and natural rhythms ground the story in realism, with conversations that reveal character layers without exposition dumps. Moments of quiet revelation hit harder than any shout, amplifying the thrill of discovery.

The engagement is total: this is edge-of-your-seat television wrapped in profound emotional stakes. The thriller elements—murder investigation, hidden truths, and escalating danger—intertwine beautifully with themes of grief, redemption, family bonds, and the scars that time can’t heal. It’s suspenseful without being gimmicky, thrilling yet deeply human.

The Survivors stands as a modern gem in Australian storytelling—polished, potent, and profoundly affecting. Its 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and strong global viewership speak volumes, but more importantly, it reminds us how great drama can confront pain while offering catharsis. For fans of intelligent mysteries with heart, this is essential viewing.

Stream it on Netflix now. Let Evelyn Bay pull you in—you won’t want to leave until every secret surfaces.

In the end, true survival isn’t just about enduring the storm—it’s about facing what it leaves behind. The Survivors captures that truth brilliantly. Highly recommended!

The high-octane trailer for Dhurandhar: The Revenge (also known as Dhurandhar 2), starring Ranveer Singh in the lead, dropped today, sending fans into a frenzy with its intense action sequences and gripping narrative continuation.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, who helmed the massively successful first installment that grossed over ₹1,300 crore worldwide, the sequel promises to escalate the espionage-thriller saga set against the backdrop of Karachi’s notorious Lyari neighbourhood. Ranveer Singh reprises his dual avatars as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, an Indian spy, and his undercover persona Hamza Ali Mazari (referred to as ‘Lyari ka Badshah’ or the king of Lyari), delivering what fans are calling a raw, lived-in performance full of intensity and transformation.

The nearly 3.5-minute trailer opens with high-stakes action, building on the cliffhanger from the original where Hamza eliminates key threats like Rahman Dakait (played by Akshaye Khanna in the first film). It teases bigger enemies, revenge-driven stakes, and a bold declaration: “Ab Pakistan ka mustakbil, Hindustan tay karega” (Now India will decide the future of Pakistan). A remixed version of Bombay Rockers’ “Ari Ari” pulses in the background, amplifying the adrenaline, while standout moments include Sanjay Dutt’s powerful line, “Jaha dard hai waha mard hai,” and warnings to R. Madhavan’s character.

The ensemble cast features powerhouse performances from Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and others, blending espionage, gang wars, and emotional depth. The film, produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, clocks in at a reported near four-hour runtime (likely trimmed to around 3 hours 30 minutes), leading to special premium “Super Blockbuster Plus” ticketing and paid preview shows on March 18 evening.

Fans flooded social media with praise, hailing the trailer’s editing, thrills, and Ranveer’s commitment: “This 3-minute trailer had more thrills than most 3-hour movies,” one wrote. Another enthused, “Ranveer Singh isn’t just acting anymore, he’s living the character. Dual avatars = Double the Goosebumps!” Many declared 2026 as belonging to Dhurandhar, with calls for it to dominate the box office.

Advance bookings in India kicked off following the trailer launch, with overseas markets already open in select territories. The film releases worldwide in cinemas on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi, in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

With the first film’s blockbuster legacy and no major clashes after recent postponements of competitors, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is poised for massive anticipation. Catch the official trailer now and book your tickets for what promises to be one of the biggest action spectacles of the year!

In the realm of modern storytelling, few things rival the thrill of a well-crafted mystery that challenges your perceptions at every turn. Netflix’s Fool Me Once (2024), the eight-episode limited series adapted from Harlan Coben’s bestselling novel, delivers exactly that—and so much more. This British psychological thriller is a masterclass in suspense, deception, and emotional depth, making it one of the most binge-worthy and engaging shows to grace our screens in recent years.

The plot is pure genius from the opening moments: Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan), a grieving ex-military pilot and mother, installs a nanny cam to watch over her young daughter after the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage). What she sees shatters everything—she spots Joe, alive and interacting with their child, despite his recent funeral. From there, the story spirals into a labyrinth of secrets involving corporate greed, family betrayals, pharmaceutical scandals, and interconnected murders, including that of Maya’s sister Claire. Layer upon layer of revelations unfold, connecting past traumas, hidden crimes, and shocking truths about those closest to her. The narrative builds relentlessly, blending personal grief with a larger conspiracy, culminating in jaw-dropping twists that reframe everything you’ve seen. The finale, with its bold confrontation and long-term epilogue, leaves you stunned, reflective, and deeply satisfied—it’s the kind of ending that lingers, sparking conversations long after the credits roll.

The screenplay, adapted brilliantly by Danny Brocklehurst and team, is taut, intelligent, and perfectly paced across eight episodes. Every scene serves the story, with clever misdirections, flashbacks that add emotional weight, and a structure that keeps the momentum soaring. The dialogues are sharp and natural—moments of quiet intensity contrast with explosive revelations, making the characters feel authentic amid the high-stakes drama. There’s no filler; every line propels the intrigue forward, heightening the sense of urgency and paranoia.

What truly elevates Fool Me Once is the exceptional cast. Michelle Keegan delivers a powerhouse performance as Maya—fierce, vulnerable, determined, and utterly compelling. Her portrayal captures the raw pain of loss while showcasing unyielding strength, making Maya one of the most memorable heroines in recent thrillers. Richard Armitage brings chilling charisma and menace to Joe, a man whose facade hides dark secrets. Joanna Lumley is magnificent as the formidable matriarch Judith Burkett—elegant, calculating, and terrifyingly protective of her family’s legacy. Adeel Akhtar shines as DS Sami Kierce, the dedicated detective whose own personal struggles add layers of humanity and intrigue. The supporting ensemble, from Emmett J. Scanlan to Laurie Kynaston, rounds out a cast that feels lived-in and believable, turning archetypes into complex, flawed individuals.

The thrill and suspense are unrelenting—this is edge-of-your-seat television at its finest. From the eerie nanny cam footage to tense confrontations, chases, and mind-bending revelations, the series masterfully toys with your expectations. Harlan Coben’s signature twists keep you guessing, often wrong, right up to the explosive conclusion. The engagement is total; it’s impossible to look away as the puzzle pieces snap into place, revealing betrayals that hit hard on both emotional and moral levels. Themes of grief, truth, justice, and the cost of secrets resonate deeply, inviting reflection on how far one might go for loved ones or redemption.

Fool Me Once isn’t just a thriller—it’s a captivating exploration of human resilience and the shadows we hide. Its massive viewership success and ability to spark widespread discussion prove its power. If you’re seeking a show that combines heart-pounding suspense, stellar acting, clever writing, and twists that truly surprise, this is it. Stream it now—you won’t be fooled, but you’ll be thoroughly entertained and moved.

In a world full of distractions, Fool Me Once reminds us why great stories matter: they grip the mind, touch the soul, and leave us changed. Don’t miss this modern masterpiece.

In a world that often rushes past the quiet miracles of everyday life, You’ve Got This (original Spanish: Ahí te Encargo), the 2020 Netflix gem directed by Salvador Espinosa, arrives like a gentle reminder to pause, laugh, and open our hearts. This Mexican romantic comedy isn’t just entertaining—it’s a soul-nourishing celebration of love, compassion, kindness, and the profound joy that comes from embracing children and family, even when life throws unexpected curves.

The plot is brilliantly simple yet deeply moving. Alejandro (Alex), an advertising creative with a big heart and an even bigger dream of fatherhood, is married to the ambitious, career-driven lawyer Cecilia (Ceci). Their marriage is loving and solid—until the question of kids becomes the elephant in the room. Ceci’s rising star at her firm leaves no space for motherhood in her plans, while Alex yearns for it desperately. Then fate intervenes: Alex ends up temporarily caring for baby Alan, a little one whose mother faces unimaginable challenges. What starts as a secret, chaotic attempt to hide the baby spirals into hilarious mishaps, emotional confrontations, and ultimately, a transformative journey of growth, compromise, and unconditional love. The story masterfully balances light-hearted comedy with poignant moments, showing how an “unexpected guest” can challenge and ultimately strengthen a relationship.

The screenplay by Tiaré Scanda and Leonardo Zimbrón is sharp, heartfelt, and refreshingly respectful of real-life complexities. It flips familiar rom-com tropes with grace, giving equal weight to both partners’ perspectives—her dedication to her career and his longing for family—without villainizing either. The dialogues sparkle with natural wit, cultural authenticity, and tender vulnerability. Lines that mix humor with raw emotion land perfectly, making you chuckle one moment and reach for tissues the next. It’s comedy that feels earned, rooted in genuine human struggles rather than cheap gags.

Mauricio Ochmann shines as Alex, bringing warmth, goofiness, and quiet desperation to a man who’s equal parts charming and flawed. His portrayal captures the universal ache of wanting something deeply while navigating love’s compromises—making Alex utterly relatable and endearing. Esmeralda Pimentel is equally captivating as Ceci, portraying a strong, independent woman with nuance and depth. Her journey from resistance to embracing motherhood feels authentic and empowering, never forced. The supporting cast, including the adorable baby Alan (who steals every scene he’s in), adds layers of charm and heart. The chemistry between Ochmann and Pimentel is electric—playful, passionate, and profoundly real—making their evolving bond a joy to watch.

At its core, You’ve Got This is a beautiful ode to the themes of love and kindness. It explores how true love thrives on compassion, understanding, and sacrifice—not perfection. The film radiates love for children in the purest form: the protective, selfless kind that blooms unexpectedly and changes everything. Through Alan’s presence, it reminds us of the innocence, vulnerability, and transformative power of welcoming a child into our lives. Themes of compassion shine brightest in moments of crisis—the quiet acts of care for a struggling mother, the forgiveness between partners, the willingness to adapt dreams for the greater good. It’s a story that honors both ambition and family, showing that kindness bridges even the widest divides.

The comedy is delightful—goofy mishaps, workplace chaos, and family antics that keep the energy light and uplifting. Yet beneath the laughs lies a spiritual depth: the idea that life’s greatest gifts often arrive unannounced, teaching us empathy, patience, and the courage to evolve. The ending is satisfying and hopeful, affirming that with love, communication, and a little faith, we can find harmony between personal goals and shared dreams.

In an era of cynical storytelling, You’ve Got This stands out as a feel-good triumph—charming, emotional, and spiritually uplifting. It’s the kind of film that leaves you smiling, reflective, and grateful for the people (and little ones) in your life. If you’re seeking something that warms the heart while delivering genuine laughs and meaningful messages about love, kindness, compassion, and the beauty of parenthood, stream this Mexican treasure right away.

You’ve got this—and so does love. Watch it, feel it, and let it remind you of what’s truly important.

Mumbai, February 24, 2026 – Vishal Bhardwaj’s ambitious epic romantic action thriller O’ Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor opposite Triptii Dimri, has officially emerged as a major box office letdown, failing to recover its hefty production costs despite reaching the 100-crore worldwide gross mark in its second week.

Released on February 13, 2026, to capitalize on Valentine’s Day weekend buzz, the film—produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment—promised a gritty underworld saga infused with romance, revenge, and Shakespearean undertones, loosely drawing from Hussain Zaidi’s Mafia Queens of Mumbai. With a star-studded supporting cast including Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal, and a special appearance by Vikrant Massey, expectations were sky-high for a potential blockbuster from the director behind classics like Omkara and Haider.

The film opened decently, collecting around ₹7.75–8.5 crore nett on day one, followed by a strong Saturday surge (₹11.5–12.65 crore) driven by multiplex audiences and festive mood. However, momentum stalled quickly. Word-of-mouth turned mixed-to-negative, with audiences and critics citing issues like uneven pacing, excessive runtime (nearly 3 hours), over-the-top violence, and a failure to deliver emotional depth or consistent commercial thrills despite Shahid Kapoor’s committed performance as the intense gangster Ustara.

Trade trackers report the following approximate collections (as of Day 11–12, February 23–24, 2026):

  • India Nett: ₹57–67 crore (gross ~₹68–79 crore)
  • Overseas Gross: ₹20–23.5 crore
  • Worldwide Gross: ₹90–102 crore (crossing ₹100 crore in some estimates, hailed as a “century” by makers)

While these figures place O’ Romeo as one of Shahid Kapoor’s higher-grossing films domestically (surpassing Haider and ranking 4th in his career per some reports), the numbers fall dramatically short of expectations for a film reportedly budgeted at over ₹100–150 crore (including prints and advertising). Industry insiders classify it as a flop or outright disaster, especially given desperate measures like BOGO ticket offers and weekday promotions that failed to revive footfalls.

Second-week collections have been particularly weak, with daily hauls dipping to ₹1.25–2 crore on weekdays amid competition from other releases and waning interest. Analysts note that while the film outperformed some newer competitors in its second weekend, its overall trajectory reflects poor sustainability—far from the sustained run needed for a high-budget venture to turn profitable.

Critics praised individual elements—Shahid’s intensity, Vishal Bhardwaj’s stylistic flair, and supporting performances—but slammed the narrative as bloated and lacking cohesion. Audience feedback echoed similar sentiments, with social media filled with disappointment over unfulfilled hype.

For Shahid Kapoor, O’ Romeo marks a setback after recent successes, though it still ranks among his better performers financially. Director Vishal Bhardwaj, known for bold storytelling, faces questions about balancing artistic vision with mass appeal in today’s market.

As theaters continue screening amid upcoming big releases, O’ Romeo serves as a reminder of Bollywood’s unpredictable nature: even star power, big budgets, and Valentine’s timing can’t guarantee success when storytelling misses the mark. The film now eyes a modest final tally around ₹110–120 crore worldwide at best, solidifying its status as a costly misfire in an otherwise competitive 2026 slate.

From BBC Breaking News to Breaking Kachoris: Veteran Journalist Sanjeev Srivastava’s Delicious Second Innings in Jaipur! https://approachbollywood.com/from-bbc-breaking-news-to-breaking-kachoris-veteran-journalist-sanjeev-srivastavas-delicious-second-innings-in-jaipur/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=from-bbc-breaking-news-to-breaking-kachoris-veteran-journalist-sanjeev-srivastavas-delicious-second-innings-in-jaipur Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:47:29 +0000 https://approachbollywood.com/?p=17389 Veteran journalist Sanjeev Srivastava, formerly the India Head of BBC News Hindi service, has made headlines by stepping away from the world of breaking stories and high-profile editing desks to embrace a completely new chapter: running a kachori shop in Jaipur!

Veteran journalist Sanjeev Srivastava, formerly the India Head of BBC News Hindi service, has made headlines by stepping away from the world of breaking stories and high-profile editing desks to embrace a completely new chapter: running a kachori shop in Jaipur!

In a move that’s sparking inspiration, amusement, and admiration across media circles and social platforms, Srivastava has launched his venture named “Throwback Desi” on Mangal Marg in Bapu Nagar, Jaipur. Specializing in classic desi favorites like matar kachori, onion kachori, carrot halwa, phini, chai, and more, the outlet reflects his long-standing passion for food and a desire to connect with “ground-level” work after over four decades in journalism.

Srivastava, who has had an illustrious career—including roles at The Times of India, Indian Express (where he headed Rajasthan coverage), launching BBC’s Mumbai bureau, serving as BBC Hindi’s India editor from 2006, and stints at Sahara News, Firstpost, DD News, and Focus News—shared his reasons in a candid interview with journalist Arvind Chotia and others.

He emphasized that respect comes from the work itself, not the position. “Journalism has given me a lot, but now I want to do something different, fulfill personal aspirations, and stay connected to the earth,” he reportedly said. He highlighted life’s single chance: no regrets, fulfill all desires. Preparations for the shop, including remodeling, took about six months amid some challenges, but things are now settling in.

The news has gone viral, with fellow journalists and netizens praising the bold shift. Comments range from “a reminder that life isn’t just about designations” to light-hearted quips about trading newsrooms for frying pans. Many see it as a powerful message: no job is small when done with honesty and pride, and career paths don’t have to follow a straight line.

In an era where media landscapes are shifting rapidly, Srivastava’s pivot stands out as a refreshing example of personal fulfillment over convention. Jaipur foodies (and curious journalists) are already flocking to Throwback Desi—proving that a well-made kachori can sometimes outshine even the biggest scoop!

If you’re in the Pink City, drop by and taste the change for yourself. Who knows—maybe the next big story is simmering right there in the kadhai. 😊
