Soham Rockstar Entertainment has issued a public notice staking a rights claim over the Hindi film Do Aur Do Paanch (1980), signalling that the company will clamp down on unauthorized use of the property.

The notice, published on February 14, 2026, in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema magazine, is addressed “to the general public at large”. The production company states that it is the “sole and exclusive negative copyright holder”, along with all negative rights and intellectual property rights connected to Do Aur Do Paanch. It also asserts derivative rights, including the right to create a prequel, sequel and remake in all languages (Indian and foreign), and extends the claim to adaptations such as comic books, television serial rights, stage play rights, novelisation and products based on the script.

The scope doesn’t stop there. The notice further covers the film’s underlying works and ancillary rights, including reproduction rights, music and sound recording rights, dubbing rights, and any other rights that may exist in the future. In short, the company is placing the film’s universe and exploitation formats under one umbrella.

The notice then warns that any copying, reproduction, distribution, public exhibition, broadcasting, communication to the public, digitization, adaptation or exploitation of the film, in whole or in part, without prior written consent, will be treated as copyright infringement and can invite civil and/or criminal action under applicable copyright laws.

Finally, Soham Rockstar Entertainment has specifically cautioned individuals, entities, broadcasters, digital platforms, distributors and exhibitors against engaging in any unauthorized use of the Amitabh Bachchan-Shashi Kapoor starrer.

Do Aur Do Paanch was in the news recently after it was reported by Bollywood Hungama that Rohit Shetty has taken the germ of the film for his upcoming film, Golmaal 5, starring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Kemmu, Shreyas Talpade and Sharman Joshi. Later, Rohit Shetty Picturez issued a statement saying that Golmaal 5 is neither a remake nor inspired by Do Aur Do Paanch.

Parvathy Thiruvothu makes a striking impact with her special appearance in Tu Yaa Main, which was released on February 13, 2026. The National Award-winning actor collaborates with filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar in the film, playing a scuba instructor.

As Tu Yaa Main continues to attract audiences for its unique narrative, Parvathy’s special appearance stands out as one of the film’s most memorable surprises, proving once again why she remains one of the most compelling actors of her generation.

Valentine's Day 2026: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Veer-Zaara, and Saiyaara among 12 films in PVR INOX Valentine’s special showcase

PVR INOX, one of India’s leading multiplex chains, has announced its ‘Valentine’s Special Showcase’, a curated re-release of 12 popular romantic films across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. The initiative aims to bring timeless love stories back to the big screen, offering both nostalgia for long-time viewers and discovery for younger audiences.

The line-up features a mix of Hindi blockbusters and regional classics, including Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Veer-Zaara, Mohabbatein, Saiyaara, Devdas, Sanam Teri Kasam and Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa.

The Tamil titles include Minnale, Mounam Pesiyadhe, Kadhalar Dhinam and Uyirullavarai Usha, while the Telugu romantic drama Love Story and the Malayalam hit Premam complete the pan-Indian selection. Shah Rukh Khan’s romance returns to theatres Several films in the showcase prominently feature Shah Rukh Khan, whose performances in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Veer-Zaara, Mohabbatein, and Devdas have played a defining role in shaping mainstream Hindi cinema’s portrayal of romance. From Raj and Simran’s cross-cultural love story to the poetic tragedy of Devdas, these films continue to resonate across generations.

While classics like Mohabbatein explored defiant young love and Veer-Zaara bridged borders through emotion, newer entries such as Saiyaara connected with younger audiences through contemporary storytelling and music-driven narratives. A celebration across generations Beyond Hindi cinema, the regional selections add depth to the showcase. Minnale, Mounam Pesiyadhe, and Kadhalar Dhinam are remembered for their music and youthful romance, while Uyirullavarai Usha remains an earlier example of Tamil cinema’s engagement with love stories. Premam brought a layered take on different phases of love, and Love Story struck a chord with its modern romantic arc.

From the timeless romance of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the poetic intensity of Devdas, the tender nostalgia of Premam, and the new-age love stories like Saiyaara, our curation reflects how every generation experiences romance differently, while certain beats remain the same.

Abhishek Bachchan sells Mahalaxmi duplex apartment for Rs 14.5 crores: Report

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has sold a duplex apartment in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi area for Rs 14.5 crores, according to property registration documents accessed through Zapkey. The duplex is located on the 40th and 41st floors of Tower 4 (Strata) at Planet Godrej, a premium residential complex in central Mumbai. The transaction was registered on February 12, 2026.

The apartment, with a total carpet area of 2,249 sq ft, was sold at a rate of Rs 64,473 per sq ft. The deal includes three car parking spaces. Documents show that the buyers — Rishi Mandawat, a partner at Bain Capital Private Equity, and Smita Mehta — paid a stamp duty of Rs 89.76 lakhs for the transaction.

Mahalaxmi has emerged as a sought-after micro-market in recent years, witnessing steady activity in the luxury residential segment. Developments such as Planet Godrej have attracted high-net-worth individuals owing to their location and scale.

The sale comes at a time when Bachchan has been expanding his footprint beyond cinema. In January this year, he entered the real estate sector with a project in Gujarat’s GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City), a planned global financial and IT services hub located between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. The land for the project was originally acquired years ago by his father, Amitabh Bachchan.

Abhishek Bachchan has entered into a profit-sharing agreement with producer and real estate entrepreneur Anand Pandit, whose firm is expanding into Gujarat for the first time through this collaboration.

Apart from films and real estate, Bachchan also co-owns the Jaipur Pink Panthers, a professional kabaddi team that competes in the Pro Kabaddi League.

On the professional front, the actor was last seen in Housefull 5. He also featured in the OTT release Kaalidhar Laapata on Zee5. He is currently attached to several upcoming projects, including Shah Rukh Khan’s next film King, directed by Siddharth Anand.
