To Listen:

Valmiki’s Ramayana 

In Amar Chitra Katha’s Valmiki’s Ramayana audio series, the timeless epic is reborn with cinematic narration and sound design, capturing every emotion and conflict from Lord Rama’s exile, the abduction of Sita, tests of loyalty to the final battle against Ravana. This series, part of Audible and Amar Chitra Katha’s association is one of the many heritage audiobook series drawn from the former’s celebrated catalogue of Indian folktales and epics. As listeners enjoy the Ramayana series, which includes audiobooks like Young Prince Rama, The Great Bow of Shiva and Hanuman’s Great Leap among others, listeners not only immerse themselves in ancient wisdom but also reconnect with the storytelling tradition that once lived in communities and gatherings. 

Descendants of Rama-Ikshvaku

Written by the celebrated author Amish Tripathi, this audiobook, narrated in Hindi, unfolds in a fractured Ayodhya that is recovering from a devastating war under the tyranny of the demon king, Ravan. Amidst this turmoil, Lord Ram, an exiled prince emerges as a beacon of hope, standing firm for justice, hope and dharma. Narrated by Surjan Singh, this audiobook powerfully retells Lord Ram’s trials, his unwavering love for Sita and his destiny to confront the darkness threatening his world. This audiobook is perfect for those seeking a blend of adventure, philosophy and a rich cultural heritage this festive season. 

Ravan Rising

Ravan Rising, the gripping saga, reimagines the journey of Ravan from a young warrior to a formidable demon king. Narrated by Sanjay Dutt and Ishaan Khatter, the series delves into Ravan’s internal conflicts as he tries to come to terms with his rakshasa heritage and human lineage. As he rises to power, Ravan’s quest for identity and destiny unfolds, reimagining Ravan in a new light. With its compelling storytelling and powerful performances, Ravan Rising is a must listen for this Diwali. 

Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana 

Authored by Devdutt Pattanaik, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of Ramayana presents the epic from Sita’s perspective, shedding light on her strength, resilience and the pivotal role she plays in the narrative. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik weaves together multiple traditions from diverse regions, presenting a multifaceted portrayal of Sita’s experiences, from her childhood with her father Janak to her trials in the forest and her interactions with the women of Lanka. This retelling pays tribute to Sita, while allowing listeners to reflect on themes of duty, sacrifice and the cycle of life. 

War of Lanka 

War of Lanka, the fourth book from Amish Tripathi’s Ram Chandra series, begins with the shocking abduction of Sita, setting the stage for the legendary clash between Ram and Raavan that tests courage, loyalty and dharma. As Ram grapples with grief and anger, he must also navigate the complex rules of righteousness, Raavan, who is cunning and clever, must also face challenges that threaten his empire and legacy. Narrated in Hindi, this audiobook brings every moment of tension, strategy and emotion to life, immersing listeners in the grandeur of the battle and the myriad splendour of human emotions. 

To Watch: 

Raavan

Raavan, directed by Mani Ratnam follows Beera (Abhishek Bachchan), a feared outlaw who abducts Ragini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), the wife of a political officer Dev (Vikram), to avenge his sister’s tragic death at the hands of a police officer. As Dev sets out on a relentless pursuit in search of Ragini, she begins to see a more humane side of Beera.. Much like the Ramayana, Raavan delves into the eternal conflict between good and evil, but blurs the lines to show that righteousness and darkness coexist within everyone. With stunning cinematography and powerful music, Raavan explores how both love and hate can coexist within the same heart. 

Adipurush 

Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, stars Prabhas as Raghav (Rama), Kriti Sanon as Janaki (Sita) and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (Ravana). Based on the epic, Ramayana, it begins with Raghav being sent into the forest along with Janaki and his brother Shesh. When Raghav abducts Janaki in vengeance of his sister Shurpanakha’s humiliation, Raghav rallies an army of varanas to wage war on Lanka to free Janaki, including Hanuman (Bajrang) at the front, starting on a trek across the ocean and into the fortress of Lankesh to face Janaki’s cage. The film culminates in an epic battle across oceans and fortresses, where Raghav ultimately turns victorious and frees Janaki, bringing order back into place.

Now that she’s stepping out to save family while hiding her true identity, the golden mask adds that mystery to her dual life  a devoted wife at home and a fearless protector outside.”

Experience Patriotism, Courage and Action with the premiere of Sky Force on Zee Cinema

India, 29th september 2025:“Padosiyon ko batana hoga ki hum bhi ghuskar maar sakte hain” Get ready for an adrenaline-filled experience as Zee Cinema proudly presents the World Television Premiere of Sky Force, a film that honours the indomitable spirit of our brave soldiers. Inspired by the true story of India’s first and one of the deadliest airstrike against Pakistan, this movie brings out the unheard story of valor of our armed forces. Watch the World Premiere of Sky Force on Sunday, 5th October at 8pm only on Zee Cinema.

SKY-FORCE

Produced by Jio Studios & Maddock Films, Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, Sky Force is more than a film. It is a heartfelt salute to the brave men and women of the armed forces whose determination and sacrifice safeguard the skies of our nation. Starring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya in lead roles alongside Sara Ali Khan, Nimrat Kaur, and Sharad Kelkar, the film combines breathtaking high-octane thrill and emotionally charged moments to showcase courage, selflessness and national pride in their truest form. 

Whenever Akshay Kumar comes with a patriotic film, he always creates a special connection with audiences through his sincerity and dedication. With Sky Force as well, families across the nation will witness the powerful story of valor and sacrifice that is bound to touch their heartstrings.

Set against the backdrop of first and one of the most daring retaliatory strikes by the Indian Air Force, Sky Force takes us back to the 1965 conflict, when in response to Pakistani air raids, the IAF executed bold and decisive action. In a move etched in military history, the brave pilots successfully struck Pakistan’s most secure and heavily guarded Sargodha Air Base – a mission that exemplified valor, precision and unparalleled resolve. Sky Force draws inspiration from this real-life operation and focuses on the grit, determination and patriotism that drive our heroes forward.

Talking about the film, Akshay Kumar said, “Playing Wing Commander Kumar Om Ahuja was truly inspiring. My father was in the Army, so whenever I wear a uniform, it impulsively fills me with a sense of strength and responsibility. I’ve worn uniforms for different roles over the years, but Sky Force is the first time I’ve had the honor of donning the Indian Air Force uniform. That made the experience truly special.”

Talking about his debut film, Veer Pahariya said, “It was honestly an unforgettable experience getting in character for the celebrated war hero AB Devayya. I am grateful to the audience for giving so much love to the film and my performance during the theatrical run, and I can’t wait for the viewers to watch Sky Force on Zee Cinema.” Regarding Akshay Kumar he added, “Akshay sir was incredible, he was so warm, welcoming and always willing to explore different ways to bring a scene to life. As a debutant, he made even the most intense emotional scenes feel effortless and natural for me. Working out with him was an experience in itself; with 108 pull-ups, 108 push-ups, 108 dips; his energy could put any 20-year-old to shame. It was both inspiring and humbling to learn from him, not just as an actor but a human being too.”

Sara Ali Khan, speaking about her role as Geeta in Sky Force, shared: “Playing Geeta required me to stay deeply emotionally grounded because of the depth her character carried. I really wanted to ensure that I captured her strength, her hope, and the resilience she embodied. I spent a lot of time with the script, immersing myself in the key moments that defined her journey.“

Don’t miss this powerful cinematic experience that celebrates patriotism, courage and heroism. Catch the World Television Premiere of Sky Force on 5th October at 8pm, only on Zee Cinema

Esteemed diplomats and dignitaries, including 30–40 ambassadors from across the world, are expected to attend, underscoring the festival’s commitment to international cultural exchange. The event carries special symbolic value — Garba of Gujarat was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2023, as the 15th Indian element to join the prestigious list. Recognized as a vibrant, participatory community event rooted in Navratri’s celebration of feminine energy and unity, Garba now comes to Sunder Nursery, itself a UNESCO-listed heritage site, beautifully connecting two icons of cultural preservation.

Speaking about the event, Ms. Shivani Datta, Director, Fusion Sphere Media & Concepts Limited, said:“The Global Garba Festival is more than a celebration — it is a cultural dialogue. By bringing together tradition, tourism, diplomacy, and community, we are creating a global platform where Delhi becomes the stage and Gujarat remains the soul. Garba has moved from Gujarat to the international stage, and now the national capital, Delhi, will also experience the authentic Garba for the very first time. This is not just an event, but a cultural bridge that celebrates India’s heritage while offering audiences an authentic, immersive experience.”

The festival, organised in partnership with Gujarat Tourism and supported by Delhi Tourism and the Global Tourism Forum, honours the timeless traditions of Gujarat’s Navratri by blending music, dance, crafts, and food on a global stage while fostering cultural diplomacy through the participation of dignitaries, ambassadors, global cultural forums, and art enthusiasts.
