Mumbai fashion weeks need a revamp. Not Dharavi & Girgaon
It's time we adulted and acknowledged the power of same-sex passion/fashion. We keep calling it 'Bridal Week', when, in fact, it could be successfully sold as Bridegroom Week in a category of its own. This year, there was a major credibility issue seeing new p apaji Siddharth Malhotra as a showstopper with the nubile singleton Jahnvi Kapoor on his arm. They aren't a couple even in our fantasy! Akshay Kumar and his deep curtsy in that boring sherwani? If only some bold designer had hired Ranveer Singh as the ultimate bride—ghunghat, veil, mehendi, the works! He's already rocking high heels and make-up. As one uninspiring fashion week segues into the next, fashion fatigue shows up—on the ramp. Not one original idea or breakthrough silhouette can be found, as one tired collection after the other is sent out by the same old, fully thakela designers, desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to reinvent themselves. To add an element of newness to the predictable posturing, this edition saw the addition of a celeb Panditji—a designer astrologer at the venue. Smart! Our obsession with shadis and bridal wear needs someone like him around, just in case a few rishtas happen organically during the catwalk. Lo ji… Dilli ke LG Saab also fell for the fashion bait. Vinai Kumar Saxena showed up as the chief guest at the FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend. The evening ended on a powdery high note, where desi fashion's darlings strutted their stuff—the same old stuff—but who cares? More ornate lehengas? Check. More bling? Check. More embellished bralets? Check. Embrace the rainbow, designers Fashion needs a serious reboot in India. What we are being served is Cowardly Couture. Major designers, bloated and pompous, have run out of ideas. Fluffy-haired seniors show off their perfect blow-dry and dart around officiously. Our Red Carpet obsession is killing freshness. And our so-called couture is mainly borrowed from the West, and hopelessly derivative. Socialite celebrities ape their famous global counterparts and end up looking comical. Cadaverous Cool is not attractive, ladies. Indian heiresses (beauties, all) who starve and starve and starve, to better slide into international haute couture and pose inside grand European palaces, need to ease up. Those gowns and corsets and bustiers and whatnot are created for the likes of Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Our ladies are gorgeous, glamorous, and ummm… ridiculously wealthy. They don't need validation from the French or Italians. Just be you, babe, eat some dhansak! My admiration goes to the beautiful young Koli community ladies from a fishing village close by, confidently wearing neon Crocs with their traditional kashta nauvaris. That's style! Our khoobsurat young men in fashion are the most short-changed segment. Male models work equally hard to get those fashion week gigs. They spend as much as their female counterparts on grooming, fitness, beauty products, and make-up. It takes a lot for some of the small-town guys to get ramp-ready. But it's the starlets-as-models who walk away with the fame and fancy fees. It's always about the bride! It would translate into more business all around if India changed its position on same-sex marriages and legalised gay rishtas. There'd be a boom—and not just in fashion. The market is ripe and ready to support what is already accepted in 34 countries. What about an official Gay Fashion Week, designers? Why hide behind terms like 'gender fluidity', or tread super-cautiously around apparel specifically created for this vast and unrepresented segment of Indians? With the 79th Independence Day coming up, let's get the tricolour to embrace rainbow colours. Also read: India is becoming a Republic of RWAs. It's the most powerful elected body Dharavi from 30,000 feet Gautam Adani doesn't like looking out of the window of his PJ when he flies into Mumbai (ummm… not really HIS city, if you get the drift). Addressing students at IIM Lucknow, the billionaire expressed his distress. 'Dharavi is Asia's largest slum…Every time I fly to Mumbai, the slums below disturb my conscience, as no nation can truly rise when so many of its people live without dignity,' Adani said. Awwww. So sweet! Didn't know Gautam Seth was such a softie at heart. But hello, boss… Dharavi and the dignity of labour go together. Has India's second-richest man (I'm not saying it, Forbes is… and please don't ask who the first is) ever set foot in Dharavi to see what a dynamic and incredible 'city within a city' it is? There is no place in the world quite like Dharavi, which houses around 12,000 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), with an estimated annual economic output of over $1 billion. Dharavi's diverse businesses span various segments from recycling to leather and pottery. It is a self-created economic zone exporting products globally. Perhaps a walk in this 'slum' after flying in the clouds is overdue, Mr Adani? Yes, Adani's redevelopment plan for these very 600 acres in the heart of Mumbai must have merit. He has called it his most 'transformative' project. Adani is 'reimagining' Asia's largest slum into 'townships', and the Dharavi Redevelopment project is estimated to cost Rs 95,790 crore. Bless Mr Adani's kind heart. So glad his view from 30,000 feet will improve by 2032. While on the subject, Mumbai's glorious and culturally vibrant Girgaon may soon go the Dharavi way under the guise of 'redevelopment'. The area is home to historic chawls—Mohan Building is 121 years old. It's where Bal Gangadhar Tilak first began the Ganeshotsav, back in 1893. Even worse, Girgaon's cultural milieu, which attracted the likes of Raja Ravi Varma, is likely to disappear altogether. The prospect of Girgaon turning into Gurugram… perish the thought, I say. I mean—Gurugram? Every Mumbaikar's worst nightmare. Noooooo! Shobhaa De is an author, columnist, social commentator, and opinion-shaper. She has written 20 books. She tweets @DeShobhaa.

Not Thammudu, 3BHK or Nadikar, this delightful Tamil film is the most-watched South movie on OTT
Akshay Kumar-led Housefull 5, which was released on Prime Video on August 1, 2025, has emerged as the most watched movie on OTT for the week of August 4 to 10, 2025, according to Ormax media. But in the second spot we have the delightful Tamil film, titled Paranthu Po, which is now streaming on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium. Paranthu Po making it to the top list is commendable, considering it does not have a star cast or hero such as Nithiin in the Telugu film Thammudu, Siddharth in the Tamil film 3BHK or even Tovino Thomas in the Malayalam film Nadikar, all of which landed in the OTT space recently. Thammudu, 3BHK on OTT Paranthu Po the most-watched South movie on OTT Paranthu Po is a 2025 Tamil film, helmed by noted filmmaker Ram. The endearing film, which narrates the tale of a young boy and explores his bond with his father especially, has amassed 2.2 million views for the week of August 4 to 10, Ormax Media has reported. The other two south films on the list are 3BHK and Thammudu, with 1.7 million views and 1.2 million views, respectively. Notably, Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran's Hindi film Sarzameen has once again made it to top five. Also starring Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan, the film amassed 1.4 million views in the current week. Sarzameen, which made its direct-to-OTT release on July 25, 2025, is now streaming on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium. The other south film which released on OTT recently was Tovino Thomas' Nadikar. The Malayalam film features an ensemble cast, including Bhavana, Balu Varghese and Soubin Shahir, who hogged attention with his viral song Monica from Rajinikanth's upcoming film Coolie. Paranthu Po plot and cast On the other hand, Paranthu Po revolves around the highly energetic kid Anbu and his father Gokul, who along with his wife are struggling to make both ends meet. But the father and the son go on a road trip, letting them (and the viewers) rediscover the beauty of simple things in life. Mithul Ryan plays the lively Anbu, while Shiva is seen as Gokul with Malayalam actress Grace Antony playing his wife. Malayalam Aju Varghese also leaves a mark with his performance, which even fetched him appreciation from megastar Mammootty.

He was always on my wishlist. People present on the sets of Gunjan Saxena know that I used to behave like a crazy girl because I was such a big fan of him and even today. I had a mannat to make him say yes to the film. I think for 10 to 12 days I became vegetarian so that he says yes to the film," Janhvi explained.
