THE INDIAN government has released a commemorative stamp celebrating the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary singer Mukesh.

This special stamp was unveiled at a ceremony hosted by India's Ministry of Culture at Akashwani Bhawan in Delhi on Wednesday (24).


Federal minister of culture and tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who was the chief guest at the event, paid tribute to the singer, recalling his monumental contribution to Indian music and his enduring legacy, the ministry said in a statement.

"The unveiling ceremony of the commemorative stamp symbolises our deep respect and admiration for Mukesh's remarkable career and unforgettable voice. It is a momentous occasion, celebrating not just his centenary but also immortalising his profound impact on the music industry," Shekhawat said.

The evening was filled with a mesmerising musical tribute featuring a performance by Mukesh's son, Nitin Mukesh. The melodies resonated with guests, evoking nostalgia and celebrating the golden era of music that Mukesh so beautifully embodied. Mukesh's songs were not mere notes; they were stories woven into melodies that spoke directly to the human experience, the statement added. (PTI)

‘L2: Empuraan’ review roundup: A visual spectacle or a style-over-substance sequel?

The much-anticipated sequel to Lucifer (2019), L2: Empuraan, has arrived, riding on sky-high expectations. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, the film promised to push Malayalam cinema to international standards. But does it live up to the hype? Critics and audiences are divided.

Empuraan expands the Lucifer universe, diving into the past of Mohanlal’s Stephen Nedumpally AKA Khureshi Ab’raam while fleshing out Zayed Masood, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film juggles global crime networks with Kerala’s political chaos, but many critics argue that the constant back-and-forth weakens the storytelling. According to some, the first half builds intrigue, but slow pacing and excessive exposition take away from its impact. Some reviewers appreciated the effort to deepen the narrative, while others felt it lost the crispness of the original.

L2 Empuraan: Box office records, casting rumours, hidden clues and more!

When a film stops being just a film when it becomes a cultural earthquake, a global conspiracy, and a fan-fuelled religion you know something extraordinary is happening. L2: Empuraan is more than just a sequel, it’s a coronation, or can we say a myth in motion, or a phenomenon rewriting the rules of cinema itself.

In Kerala, a state fondly known as ‘God’s Own Country,’ Mohanlal’s on-screen presence is nothing short of a celestial event. He isn’t merely an actor; he’s a force of nature, a legend whose gaze commands empires. With Empuraan, he doesn’t just return he ascends.
