Come July, we present one such icon who will rise to be an inspiration to women in Bengal.

Presenting Jai Kali Kolkattawali – The saga of a fearless soul.

 The ensemble cast is quite impressive and fit perfectly into their role.

Show Concept:

Abhaya is traditional and culturally rooted home maker of an orthodox Bengali family. She is an ardent devotee of Goddess Kali and is attached to the temple of the house. The evil inflicted on womankind pains Abhaya. Will she be able to realize her inner strength and fight the injustice to avenge the heinous crimes?

Show Synopsis:

Abhaya’s childhood does not fill her thoughts with fond memories but reminds her of the gory visions where she saw her mother succumb to domestic violence.

One day, a sudden incident triggers those memories in Abhaya – will she answer her inner calling and become a force against the evil inflicted on womankind?

Her fearless spirit compels her to fight heinous crimes.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
