Prime Video, India's most loved entertainment destination, today unveiled a new brand campaign — 'Every kind of emotion. It's on Amazon Prime', reinforcing its position as the one-stop destination for stories—across moods, genres, and emotions—that resonate with audiences. Building on the brand's core strength of enabling easy access to great content, the campaign moves beyond categories to highlight the emotional resonance that Prime Video's series and movies have with audiences. At the same time, it also brings into focus the diversity of Prime Video's catalogue, spanning themes, genres, languages, and storytelling formats, led by two ad films tailored for specific markets, featuring iconic Indian actors Manoj Bajpayee and Samantha.
The campaign is inspired by a key audience insight – when viewers choose a genre, they seek the emotions—layered, unexpected, and deeply felt. Comedy isn't just funny, it can be dark, awkward, or absurd. Love stories can be nostalgic, unspoken, unrequited, heartbreaking and more. And thrills can jolt you in an instant or creep up slowly. The campaign brings alive the unique nuances of storytelling on Prime Video—where every kind of funny, thrilling, inspiring, or heartwarming experience is just a click away.
These slice-of-life narratives highlight Prime Video's expansive catalogue and bring to life the variety and relatability of its stories, reaffirming its place as an entertainment destination for every kind of viewer.
'At Prime Video, we believe entertainment isn't about ticking genre boxes—it's about delivering experiences that emotionally connect with customers,' said Sonal Kabi, director & head of marketing, Prime Video, India. 'This campaign showcases our commitment to delivering a wide range of stories that capture a gamut of feelings that our viewers can relate to. 'Every kind of emotion. It's on Amazon Prime' isn't just a line—it's a promise we deliver, day-in and day-out through our series and movies. Great stories can come from anywhere — and our goal is to ensure audiences don't just watch them but truly feel and connect with them. We're proud to be a service that reflects the full spectrum of human emotions.'
Manoj Bajpayee said, 'The beauty of entertainment today is that it mirrors our own complexity. Just as my character Srikant Tiwari balances national security with family life in The Family Man, Prime Video masterfully balances the full spectrum of human emotions. One moment you're craving a thriller that keeps you on the edge, the next you're seeking the warmth of a heartfelt story. That's what drew me to this campaign - it captures how we truly experience and consume entertainment in our lives. It's smart, it's emotional, it's completely relatable and it beautifully showcases how Prime Video has become a destination where every emotion finds its perfect match. It was fun to play a version of Srikant Tiwari who is catching feelings instead of catching bad guys for once!'
Samantha said, 'Every role is an emotional journey. From embodying the intensity of Raji in The Family Man to exploring the complexities of a covert operative in Citadel: Honey Bunny - each character has pushed my boundaries in unique ways. What fascinates me is how this mirrors our own viewing habits. We don't just watch shows; we seek emotions that resonate with our moment. Sometimes it's the adrenaline rush of a thriller, other times it's revisiting that one scene that touched our soul. That's the magic Prime Video has captured - understanding that stories aren't just about genres, they're about the feelings they evoke. Every story has its own emotional fingerprint, and there's something beautiful about having a service like Prime Video that celebrates every shade of human experience.'
Created by MANJA, the campaign will be deployed through a rollout across digital, social, and outdoors. Suyash Barve, Head of Creative, Manja said, 'As more and more content gets added to our screens, our classical understanding of genres has become too vague. There is no action on one side and romance on the other. Now, every movie and TV show is a multi-hyphenate. An action-dramedy or a political-espionage-thriller or a political-espionage-action- dramedy. Now, you can choose between comedies that make you laugh out loud, or ones that make you chuckle. Horror movies that make your heart stop, or just ones that creep you out. We used this rephrasing of genre to tell our story of range. There's just so much to watch on Prime Video, that you simply have to be more specific. The perfect sutradhars for this journey were of course, our Family Man, Manoj Bajpayee and the star of Citadel: Honey Bunny and The Family Man antagonist, Samantha – both of whom turn a simple discussion on what to watch into a days-long crusade to prove that there's more than one kind of funny and more than one kind of thriller.'

Sania Mirza is biggest fan of this actor, wants to romance him in her biopic; Not Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, name is....
Indian former professional tennis player Sania Mirza announced her retirement from tennis in 2023. Since then, there have been ongoing developments regarding her biopic. Reports suggest that a contract has been signed with Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP production house. As the project is still in its initial stages, the casting and direction are yet to be finalised. Last year, Sania Mirza came as a guest on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show '. Along with her, other real-life heroes also joined, like boxer Mary Kom, badminton star Saina Nehwal, and Paris Olympics medal hopeful 50-m rifle shooter Sift Kaur Samra. Will We See a Sania Mirza Biopic Soon? Kapil Sharma asked Sania Mirza that since Priyanka Chopra played Mary Kom in the biopic about the 48 kg/51 kg championship boxer, and Parineeti Chopra portrayed Saina Nehwal in the biopic of the badminton star who inspired a generation of Indian girls, whom would Sania Mirza choose to play her in a biographical movie about her life? Who will play Sania in Sania Mirza's biopic? Sania, who is known for her comebacks, volleyed: Is there another Chopra sister who can play this part? Speaking of male leads to play her 'love interest', Sania said she'd have to first find one in real life. Sania is divorced from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. The two have a five-year-old son Izhaan, who lives with Sania now. Continuing their discussion about who could play her love interest, Kapil asked if she would like to play the part herself if Shah Rukh Khan were cast opposite her. She said yes and also mentioned Akshay Kumar's name, adding, 'If Akshay is cast opposite me, I definitely would.'

Phone jammers, masked guards: Why Zohran Mamdani's lavish Uganda wedding bash is receiving flak
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, is facing backlash over his three-day wedding celebrations with artist Rama Duwaji at his family's lavish compound in Uganda last week. As per reports, the property had tight security, with around nine masked guards watching one gate. The Indian-origin politician's festivities, however, have sparked anger. Here's why read more New York mayoral candidate, State Rep. Zohran Mamdani (D-NY) kisses the hand of his wife Rama Duwaji as they celebrate during an election night gathering at The Greats of Craft LIC on June 24, 2025 in the Long Island City neighborhood of the Queens borough in New York City on June 24. File Photo/AFP New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been in the limelight since besting Andrew Cuomo to win the Democratic nomination to run the city last month. The Indian-origin socialist's shocking victory has brought him to the centre stage of US politics. Besides his views, Mamdani has also been making headlines for his personal life. The 33-year-old, who married artist and animator Rama Duwaji in February, reportedly held a lavish three-day celebration to celebrate his wedding at his family's luxurious estate in Uganda last week. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The festivities, however, have sparked controversy. Here's why. Mamdani's wedding bash in Uganda Zohran Mamdani, the son of Indian filmmaker Mira Nair and renowned Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani, celebrated his wedding with Rama Duwaji, 27, at a lavish compound owned by his family in Uganda, as per a New York Post report. The private compound is located in the posh Buziga Hill area outside the capital city of Kampala. The neighbourhood is home to some of Uganda's richest, including billionaire businessman Godfrey Kirumira. Mamdani was born in Uganda and spent the first few years of his life there before moving to the US at the age of seven. The Queens politician returned to his birthplace to mark his love for his wife. Duwaji and Mamdani, who met on the dating app Hinge, had eloped in February. The couple hosted wedding celebrations at the compound guarded by masked security guards, with guests partying until midnight last week, reported New York Post. Mamdani's family home is secluded and spread over two acres of lush gardens, surrounded by trees, with at least three security gates. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A witness told The Post that the security was so tight that one gate was being watched by around nine guards. 'Outside the Mamdani house were more than 20 special forces command unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up — and all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani event,' the witness added. Guests were served fruit juices and they danced to music from a local DJ last Thursday (July 24). As per a witness, Mamdani is believed to have addressed guests later that night, with the party ending after midnight. 'Then on Friday, inside the compound, there were military style tents being taken down when the party had finished,' they added. 'Then what looked like Mamdani personal security guards took over at the gates.' Mamdani had previously confirmed his trip to Uganda on his Instagram, saying he would stay there until the end of the month. Why Mamdani's wedding bash is facing flak Zohran Mamdani, who says he wants to raise taxes on the top one per cent of New Yorkers, is facing backlash over his reported extravagant wedding festivities. Andrew Cuomo, who is still in the NYC mayoral race as an independent, took a potshot at his rival. In a poll on X, he asked his followers to vote on whether Mamdani's three-day wedding was 'champagne socialism' or 'trust fund socialism.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Correct term? — Andrew Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) July 27, 2025 Some locals found the wedding bash 'insensitive' as Uganda was in mourning for former Ugandan Supreme Court Judge George Kanyeihamba, who lived just three minutes from Mamdanis' house. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni visited Kanyeihamba's residence to pay his last respects and 'the street was blocked by the president's cars,' a local was quoted as saying. 'Because of the culture here, it was insensitive to have a wedding celebration in the same week as mourning – or 'Okukungubaga' – as it's called here,' another told The Post. 'He has not even been buried, and we have his friends coming to give last words and to mourn before the burial next week, yet Mamdani is celebrating his wedding for three days,' the source added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As reports of Mamdani's lavish wedding celebrations surfaced, X users also took a jibe at the socialist candidate. One posted, 'Zohran Mamdani wants to ban all guns and defund the police, then flies to Uganda for his wedding, guarded by masked special forces at his family's multimillion-dollar compound. Socialism for thee, not for me.' Another user mocked him as 'man of the people'. 'Zohran Mamdani: Nothing says American like getting married on your family's luxury Uganda compound. A man of the people,' they wrote. 'Mamdani clearly doesn't see the irony—his wealth and lavish lifestyle, including that Uganda wedding bash with armed guards, stem directly from capitalism. As a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, he thrives while pushing policies like defunding the NYPD and rent freezes that could financially ruin everyone else,' another tweeted.
