INDIA: PVR INOX, India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibitor, continues to strengthen its alternate programming platform, PVR INOX LIVE ON STAGE, an initiative that brings music, poetry, storytelling, performances, conversations, and other forms of artistic expression into cinema spaces.

Conceived as a fan-first IP, it is designed to spotlight emerging and established talent, offering them meaningful visibility through immersive live experiences that help them engage with existing fans while reaching new audiences.

Leveraging the scale and immersive environment of PVR INOX, the platform aims to redefine how talent is discovered, experienced, and celebrated, creating shared cultural moments that bring diverse voices and audiences together. As cinemas evolve beyond traditional movie-going, the platform reflects PVR INOX’s vision of transforming cinema spaces into cultural destinations that inspire creativity, connection, and community engagement.

As part of this initiative, LIVE ON STAGE presents a special Pride Month celebration on June 17 featuring an exclusive live performance by Sushant Divgikr, also known as Rani KoHEnur. One of India’s most celebrated and trailblazing performers, Sushant has consistently broken barriers across music, performance, fashion, and LGBTQIA+ representation with fearless individuality and a powerful stage presence. Known for blending music, storytelling, glamour, humour, and emotion, their performances are both deeply personal and celebratory, making them a fitting choice to inaugurate Live on Stage. The Pride Month special at PVR INOX will celebrate identity, freedom, and community while offering an immersive fan experience that brings audiences closer to the artist.

In alignment with PVR INOX’s commitment to leveraging cultural platforms for social impact, proceeds from the performance will be directed to The Rani Fund, the programmatic arm of the Sandhuro Rani Bijli Trust, established by the Bijli family. The Rani Fund works at the intersection of storytelling, advocacy, and community partnerships to support marginalized women and children, using culture as a tool to build awareness, shift mindsets, and channel resources toward communities that need them most.

Talking about the initiative, Nayana Bijli, Lead – Distribution and Licensing, PVR INOX Ltd, and Founder of Sandhuro Rani Bijli Trust, said, “LIVE ON STAGE is an exciting new chapter for PVR INOX as we continue to evolve our cinemas into spaces that go beyond movie-going and become destinations for culture and community experiences.

The platform is designed to give both emerging and established artists an immersive stage to connect with audiences intimately and engagingly. We are especially proud to present this Pride Month celebration featuring Rani KoHEnur, an artist who truly represents individuality, fearless expression, and the spirit of inclusivity. Through LIVE ON STAGE, we hope to create meaningful and memorable experiences for audiences while celebrating diverse voices and artistic expression. We are also grateful that The Rani Fund can be a part of this event and that a portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting members of the queer community.”

Adding to this, Sushant Divgikar aka Rani KoHEnur said, “I am thrilled to be kicking off Live on Stage at PVR INOX. It’s a wonderful platform for both established and emerging artists. There’s something incredibly powerful about taking the stage and turning performance into purpose. Performing live for a cause so close to my heart, with proceeds going to The Rani Fund, supporting members of the queer community, makes this evening far more meaningful than just entertainment. It’s about visibility, dignity, joy, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and supported.”

Tickets for the LIVE ON STAGE Pride Month Special featuring Rani KoHEnur are available on the PVR INOX app and website, as well as on BookMyShow.

NEW DELHI: In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly influencing education, work, relationships, creativity, and daily life, a new comic strip series titled Future Shock – Abeer & Amaara offers a unique and timely perspective on the AI revolution through humor.

Created by high school authors Abeer Verma and Amaara, the 17-year-old twin brother-sister duo from New Delhi, Future Shock is a daily 3-panel comic strip that captures the strange, funny, ironic, and often uncomfortable ways AI is shaping modern life. The series uses sharp visual storytelling and relatable situations to explore themes such as overdependence on technology, privacy, AI-generated creativity, automation, digital relationships, screen addiction, education, mental health, and human connection.

Unlike technical explainers or opinion-heavy commentary, Future Shock approaches AI from the perspective of the generation already growing up with it. “We are not explaining AI. We are reacting to it,” express the creators, who areGrade 11 students at Step by Step School, Noida, one of Delhi NCR’s leading schools.

The comic revolves around two recurring characters:

Abeer – curious, experimental, enthusiastic about AI, and often overconfident.

Amaara – observant, grounded, sharp-witted, and the voice of reality.

Together, their contrasting personalities create the humor engine behind every strip. The project currently includes 35 completed comic strips and is backed by a scalable content pipeline capable of expanding into a year-round syndicated feature covering AI, education, entrepreneurship, cyber safety, machine learning, family dynamics, and social algorithms.

What makes Future Shock especially relevant is its cross-generational appeal. While younger readers immediately relate to the digital culture and AI references, parents and educators connect with the deeper questions the strip raises about technology and society.

The creators, both deeply engaged with technology education and AI awareness, have also worked on multiple youth-focused AI and coding initiatives. Their profiles highlight strong interests in technology, creativity, critical thinking, and the social impact of emerging digital tools.

Several sample strips already touch on highly contemporary issues:

• AI writing homework students cannot explain later
• Personalized advertising and data privacy
• AI-generated apologies lacking emotional authenticity
• Automation is replacing even its own creators
• Mental health support versus human presence
• The growing blur between convenience and dependency
• The format is intentionally concise and newspaper-friendly:
• 3 panels
• Minimal dialogue
• Strong visual punchline
• Optimized for both print and digital audiences

With AI becoming one of the defining conversations of this decade, Future Shock – Abeer & Amaara aims to provide publications with engaging, youth-driven editorial content that is both entertaining and socially relevant.

We spoke to actor Viineet Kumar Singh about this.

Question: We’ve seen many films paying tribute to teachers—Dead Poets Society, Black, The Karate Kid, To Serve With Love—and now Netflix’s Hello Bachcho is also a tribute. How did you prepare yourself for this role, knowing it was a tribute to teachers?

Answer: First of all, I’m very happy to have this opportunity. This show is a tribute to teachers. Every person in life has been touched by a teacher, and my father is a mathematician, so personally, it’s also a tribute to him.

The show highlights many aspects of today’s education system: rising costs, career confusion among children, social pressures, and the difficulties faced by girls and underprivileged students. Preparing for this role meant understanding all of these realities and the sensitivity a teacher needs to have to impact students’ lives positively.

I wanted to understand Alakh Pandey sir’s rhythm, his energy, and how he interacts with students, family, and friends. Beyond classroom videos, I spent time observing his day-to-day life—how he eats, sits, moves, and engages. That helped me capture the authenticity of the character.

I was fortunate because my academic background and my family’s involvement in education gave me a foundation. My father always emphasized honesty, dedication, and understanding cause and effect—like Newton’s law. That philosophy naturally aligned with the teacher’s role in the series.

Question: The series portrays students from diverse and underprivileged backgrounds. How did this influence your understanding of the Indian education system today?

Answer: I’ve lived in this world. I know the struggles. I studied in government schools with excellent teachers, but today many parents prefer private schools, often because education has become so expensive. Education is turning into a luxury rather than a right.

Basic education should be accessible to all children. Government institutions are crucial—they allow students from poor families to study without financial barriers. If we fail to ensure this, we are creating walls for those who want to learn but cannot afford it. Education, healthcare, and security are fundamental rights, just like voting. Everyone deserves access.

Question: In the show, Alakh Pandey sir connects with students empathetically. How did you balance authority, empathy, and vulnerability in your portrayal?

Answer: As an Answer, it’s important to capture all sides of a character. A teacher’s authority is balanced by empathy and vulnerability. For instance, when a child struggles because of family circumstances, the teacher often shields them from harsh realities, allowing them to perform without fear. That balance had to be authentic—showing care without compromising discipline.

Through this approach, students learn responsibility and realize the value of opportunities. It’s not just teaching academics; it’s shaping their perspective and confidence.

Question: Were there any particular storylines or scenes that touched you emotionally?

Answer: Many stories were moving. The story of Naman, Haria, and other students who face societal or familial obstacles was particularly touching. Scenes showing girls wanting to study or play but being restricted really highlighted gender-based challenges. Girls’ potential is often limited by societal norms, but when allowed to pursue their ambitions, they excel—whether in sports, arts, or leadership.

This is a recurring theme—parents and society sometimes inadvertently limit talent. The show reflects this beautifully and emphasizes that education and support can unlock tremendous potential.

Question: What feedback have you received from viewers?

Answer: The feedback has been incredible. Many people have said the series moved them to tears. They connected deeply with the stories and characters. I’m grateful to the entire team—producers Aruna, Sherry, Shreyansh Pandey, Vijay Koshi; writers Abhishek, Varun Ali, Ankit; and director Pratish. Acting is a team game, and this collaboration created something touching and impactful.
