Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI), under its new CEO Gaurav Banerjee, is undergoing a strategic overhaul to revitalise the company, with one of the primary focuses being to revamp Sony Entertainment Television (SET), its flagship Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC), according to multiple executives familiar with the developments. SET holds only 8% of the market, trailing behind competitors like Star Plus, Colors, and Zee TV. While SET has a strong lineup of non-fiction shows such as Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), Shark Tank India, and MasterChef, it lacks a strong fiction show, a staple for Hindi GEC audiences. Banerjee, with over a decade of experience managing Hindi and regional entertainment channels as well as Disney+ Hotstar's entertainment portfolio, is expected to address this content gap.

Coldplay returning to India after a gap of nine years has taken the fandom by storm. While diehard fans of the rock icons are scrambling to lay their hands on the exorbitantly priced tickets, the Coldplay fandom was left devastated when several tickets resurfaced on reselling websites. Earlier, millions of fans had visited the BookMyShow website and app for three shows at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai for a chance at one of the 1.5 lakh seats. However, reseller websites prospered as tickets became scarce and grievances flooded social media. Since then, ticket prices have increased by 10 to 20 times on platforms like Viagogo, and many others have taken to social media to sell «extra» tickets they had already bought. This happened when millions of people were presumably waiting in line for Coldplay's announcement of a third gig in response to the ‘phenomenal’ demand.

Abhijit Chakraborty, founder of Alphanumero, has introduced a progressive leave policy designed to celebrate personal milestones. The «Birthday Plus One» initiative allows employees to take two extra days off each year: one for their birthday and another for a close family member or friend's birthday. This policy, shared in a heartfelt LinkedIn post, aims to promote a healthier work-life balance in a corporate environment often dominated by professional demands. Chakraborty’s decision comes against the backdrop of increasing conversations about workplace toxicity and the stress associated with rigid corporate cultures. Reflecting on his own experiences, he recalled a time when he faced disapproval from a superior for requesting a day off to celebrate his birthday. «If it’s someone’s birthday, they deserve a gift, not a leave deduction and negative reactions,» he stated. His candid acknowledgment of past challenges emphasizes the importance of recognizing personal celebrations without guilt.

Netflix’s adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr Ripley is a wonder of black-and-white gorgeousness, and while leading man Andrew Scott may not have had anywhere near as much fun playing Tom Ridley as Matt Damon and the impossibly gorgeous Alain Delon before him, cinematographer Robert Elswit makes up for it with dazzling camerawork somehow reminiscent of both Caravaggio and Hitchcock — at the same time.
