Discover the Art of Eco-Printing: Sustainable Fashion with Nature's Imprints
Beej &Co eco-prints leaves and flowers onto sarees If you've ever pressed a flower inside a book just to see what happens, you already understand the quiet joy behind eco-printing. Now imagine that flower reappearing months later, not between old maths notes, but on a saree that looks like it was dyed by a particularly artistic forest. That's what eco-printing is about, says Nivetha Viswanathan, co-founder of the studio Arohaa in Madipakkam. 'Eco-printing is basically printing with actual flowers and leaves on a mordanted fabric, which is bundled and steamed for at least an hour. Once it's opened, the prints are right there on the fabric. We treat the fabric with a natural mordant that helps fix the pigment to the cloth. And since it's handcrafted, every time you try to replicate a product it's going to look a bit different,' says Nivetha. Designer Bijoya Halder of West Bengal-based Beej & Co, which will be showcasing at the Crafts Council of India's textile exhibition in Chennai on August 12 and 13, says the unpredictability is part of the charm. 'The outcome of each print depends on countless factors: the type of foliage, the time of year, the moisture in the leaves, and the temperature during steaming.'

In terms of fabric, she says, they use mulberry and tussar silk, all handwoven in villages in West Bengal. Over at Alice Ganesan, where production takes place in Thiruverkadu, textile designer Swathini Ramesh sees eco-printing as a way to reconnect with lost traditions. 'I understood early on how fast fashion threatens the environment and the artisan community. We use only indigenous varieties of leaves and flowers found nearby. We also grow our own for eco-printing,' she says. Swathini works with marigold, cosmos and eucalyptus, but says her favourite is maramalli or Indian cork tree leaves. 'It gives amazing results on different kinds of fabric,' she says. Kumaraguru Kasinathan, assistant professor in the department of textile design at NIFT Chennai has watched the eco-printing movement evolve both inside and outside the classroom. While often grouped together, eco-printing and natural dyeing are fundamentally different, he says, the former transfers the literal imprint of leaves or flowers onto fabric, while the latter involves extracting pigments and dyeing the fabric uniformly. 'Eco printing is not an easy process. With commercial dyeing, you can colour 1,000m in two hours. With natural dyeing, it can take 15 days,' he says. That time commitment, he says, is one of the main reasons more people haven't embraced it — especially when fast fashion costs less. 'From the 1920s to 1960s, natural dyeing wasn't used much because it was a slow process. But later, people discovered mordants — proper fixing agents that help the colour stay fast during washing,' he says. He calls eco-printing both a revival and a global movement. 'It's global because of the shift toward sustainability. And it's a revival of old craft techniques. The good news is that students today too are showing interest in sustainable fashion.' It's more durable too than people think, says Swathini. 'The prints are so well penetrated into the fabric, the designs and colours don't fade.'

Marathi cinema shines bright at 71st National Film Awards
MARATHI CINEMA once again asserted its creative prowess at the 71st National Film Awards, with a diverse range of films clinching honours across critical categories. Marathi filmmakers and artists were celebrated for their contribution to Indian cinema with 'Shyamchi Aai' winning the Best Marathi Feature Film award. Directed by Sujay Sunil Dahake, Shyamchi Aai offered a contemporary cinematic retelling of the classic Marathi novel by Sane Guruji. The jury commended its sensitive exploration of values, sacrifice, and familial bonds set against a rural backdrop. The film was awarded the Rajat Kamal. Marathi cinema has always held a historic legacy at the National Film Awards, being the very first to be recognised at the highest level. In 1954, 'Shyamchi Aai', directed by P.K. Atre, was awarded the President's Gold Medal for the All India Best Feature Film, a recognition now known as the National Film Award for Best Feature Film. This heartwarming story of a mother's sacrifice marked the beginning of a prestigious tradition for Marathi films. In the debut category, 'Aatmapamphlet', directed by Ashish Bende, was honoured with the Best Debut Film of a Director in the Feature Film section. The film stood out for its stylised narrative and bold thematic choices, reflecting the inner world of adolescence and rebellion. The film was awarded the Swarna Kamal. Continuing Marathi cinema's strength in children's storytelling, 'Naal 2', directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, received the award for Best Children's Film. The film, a sequel to the 2018 critically acclaimed Naal, appealed to audiences across age groups and earned the Swarna Kamal. In the performance categories, Marathi films dominated the Best Child Artist segment. Three young actors from Naal 2: Treesha Thosar, Shrinivas Pokale, and Bhargav Jagtap, were jointly honoured for their nuanced performances. Additionally, Kabir Khandare was awarded in the same category for his role in 'Gypsy', another Marathi film, which presented a moving narrative of a child's bond with nature and his struggle for acceptance. With these films reflect the diversity and depth of storytelling emerging from Maharashtra, Marathi cinema has once again reaffirmed its place as a vital and dynamic force within the broader spectrum of Indian cinema.

'Saiyaara' box office day 16: Mohit Suri's film shows strong Saturday surge and growing theatre buzz
Saiyaara continues its impressive box office run, with early estimates placing the day 16 (third Saturday) collection at ₹ 6.35 crore. This brings the total earnings to a formidable ₹ 291.35 crore, as the film edges closer to the ₹ 300 crore milestone. After earning ₹ 107.75 crore in its second week and ₹ 4.5 crore on its third Friday, Saiyaara witnessed a noticeable uptick on Saturday, reflecting growing weekend interest and positive word-of-mouth. Theatre occupancy also showed a strong trend across major cities. Nationally, Saiyaara recorded 34.38% occupancy in evening shows, up from 30.79% in the afternoon and 16.14% in the morning, indicating a steady climb throughout the day. City-wise, Bengaluru led the surge with 58.67% occupancy, followed by Chennai at 48.67%, and Pune at 35.33%. The National Capital Region (NCR) also held firm at 30.67%, while Mumbai stood at 24.33%. Other metros like Hyderabad (31.67%) and Jaipur (32.33%) contributed to the film's momentum. While some cities such as Surat (10%), Bhopal (19.67%), and Kolkata (19%) showed relatively modest numbers, the overall performance across urban centres suggests continued audience engagement. With Sunday yet to come and momentum building, Saiyaara is well on track to surpass ₹ 300 crore in the coming days. The strong Saturday performance has reinforced the film's commercial success, making it one of the top-grossing Hindi releases of the year. Saiyaara has also become the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 400-crore mark globally, next only to Chhaava ( ₹ 808 crore). It is now eyeing entry into the prestigious ₹ 500 crore club, possibly by the end of the third weekend. Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.
