The terror of the “Choti Katwa Witch” now in cinema halls

Mumbai : The much-discussed horror–comedy film Siharan, produced under the banner of Om Shivay Films, has now been released in cinema halls across India. The film’s official trailer was launched worldwide on the 10th by Red Bulb Studio and received an excellent response from audiences.

Producer Hari Narayan Chaurasia stated that Siharan is a powerful combination of horror and comedy, offering not only fear and full entertainment but also a strong social message.

The film’s lead actress is Aradhana Sachan, while Abhishek Sharma, Jitendra Yadav, and Madhushree Shah appear in prominent roles. The writing, story, screenplay, and direction of the film have been done by Manish Kumar Verma, who has effectively presented strong action along with horror and comedy.

A special concept of betel leaf (paan) cultivation has been included in the story on the suggestion of producer Hari Narayan Chaurasia. The film powerfully portrays the problems of betel farmers, their business, and the exploitation they face from small villages to big cities.

Co-producer Abha Chaurasia shared that the film highlights issues such as regressive thinking in rural society, color discrimination among women, and social inequality. The film is based on women empowerment and conveys the message that if a woman is determined, she can overcome any difficulty.

The producer’s daughter, Priyanshi Chaurasia, plays the role of a news reporter in the film. She said that she liked the story very much and that being part of this project was a memorable experience for her. Dr. Akanksha is seen delivering a strong performance as the village woman Neelima.

Aradhana Sachan has also served as the Casting Director and Project Head of the film, efficiently handling her responsibilities along with her acting role.

The film’s cinematography has been handled by Raj Yadav, whose camera work gives the film an impressive visual touch.

The action sequences have been designed by Beer Master, showcasing powerful action completely at the level of South Indian films. Shot in regions like Satna and Chhatarpur, the film offers audiences plenty of action and thrill.

The film features a total of four beautiful songs, composed by W. Sahis and melodiously sung by Anushka Banerjee. The background music has been composed by Aniket Bhardwaj and Sanket Gundekar. Art direction was handled by C. P. Sen, with Ravi Rangila as the Assistant Art Director, while makeup was done by Guddu Golden.

Producer Hari Narayan Chaurasia informed that the film’s shooting began on 15 October 2023 and continued for approximately 30 days. Major scenes were shot at the famous religious site Atra Sarkar Ji Hanuman Temple in Khajuraho district, nearby forests, and various other locations.

Dhruv Singh Baghel also appears in an important role in the film, while Durgesh Kumar is seen in a significant psychological role. Around 80–90 artists and technical collaborators from Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Mumbai have contributed to the film.

Producer Hari Narayan Chaurasia has also worked as an Associate Director in the film and portrayed the character of Police Inspector Ajay Nayak. Several artists from Chhatarpur district have played important roles, with Rajesh Mahanto being especially notable in the role of an MLA.

Before this film, producer Hari Narayan Chaurasia had already made 52 episodes of a documentary series titled Vindhya Ki Virasat, which were telecast on Doordarshan. He received great appreciation for this work. He has also made a documentary film on betel leaf (paan).

The film was shot at beautiful locations in Madhya Pradesh such as Garhi Malhara, nearby villages, Chhatarpur city, Satna, Madhavgarh Fort, and A.K.S. University. Artists from Satna, Chhatarpur, Rewa, Indore, Itarsi, Gwalior, Mumbai, and Uttar Pradesh were given opportunities in the film.

Bollywood actors Mustaq Khan and Junior Mehmood have made audiences laugh a lot with their comedy roles, while the main villain has been portrayed by Satyam Shukla.

पटना। बिहार में स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं को नई ऊंचाई देने वाले डॉक्टरों की सूची में अगर सबसे भरोसेमंद नाम किसी का है तो वह है साईं हेल्थ केयर वैलनेस सेंटर के संस्थापक और बिहार के सुप्रसिद्ध दर्द रोग विशेषज्ञ डॉ. राजीव सिंह। मरीजों के लिए सहज उपलब्धता, मानवीय व्यवहार और अत्याधुनिक उपचार—इन तीनों गुणों ने डॉ. सिंह को बिहार ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरे पूर्वी भारत में एक जाना-माना नाम बना दिया है।

सालों से वे न सिर्फ इलाज करते आए हैं बल्कि हर साल सैकड़ों मरीजों को मुफ्त चिकित्सा देकर समाजिक जिम्मेदारी भी निभाते हैं। यही कारण है कि आज भी दर्द से परेशान कोई भी मरीज सबसे पहले साईं हेल्थ केयर का नाम लेता है।

नई तकनीक – बिना सर्जरी, बिना घुटना बदले इलाज

इस बार डॉ. राजीव सिंह ने अपने सेंटर में एक ऐसी मशीन जोड़ी है जो बिहार में चिकित्सा जगत के लिए किसी क्रांति से कम नहीं है। यह मशीन है Knee Decompression Machine, जो घुटनों में नेचुरल गैप (Joint Space) बनाकर दर्द को जड़ से खत्म करती है और बिना घुटना प्रत्यारोपण (Knee Replacement) किए ही घुटनों के गंभीर से गंभीर रोगों का इलाज कर देती है।

तकनीक की बड़ी खासियतें: बिना ऑपरेशन, बिना इंजेक्शन, बिना घुटना बदले, बिना दर्द, घुटनों में स्वाभाविक गैप बनाकर तुरंत राहत

विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार यह तकनीक उन मरीजों के लिए वरदान है जिनकी हड्डियों में लंबे समय से दर्द रहता है या जिनकी उम्र बढ़ने के साथ घुटनों में समस्या बढ़ गई है।

चाहे सर्वाइकल (गर्दन दर्द), हील पेन (एड़ी दर्द), लम्बर (पीठ दर्द), जोड़ों का पुराना दर्द, या घुटनों की जकड़न और सूजन—

इस मशीन के जरिए डॉ. सिंह ने कई मरीजों का ऐसा इलाज किया है कि वे सालों पुराना दर्द भूलकर दोबारा सामान्य जीवन जीने लगे हैं।

डॉ. सिंह का मानना है कि मरीज को आराम मिलना चाहिए। वे कहते हैं: दर्द दिखता नहीं है, लेकिन किसी का जीवन रोक देता है। अगर तकनीक से बिना सर्जरी राहत मिल सकती है तो उसे मरीज तक पहुंचाना मेरी जिम्मेदारी है।

साईं हेल्थ केयर वैलनेस सेंटर बिहार का पहला ऐसा संस्थान है जहां यह अत्याधुनिक Knee Decompression Machine स्थापित की गई है। सालों की सेवा, हजारों सफल केस और समाजिक कार्यों में निरंतर योगदान के लिए डॉ. राजीव सिंह को कई राष्ट्रीय सम्मान भी प्राप्त हुए हैं।

पटना में मेडिकल क्रांति, Dr. राजीव सिंह ने लॉन्च की बिना घुटना प्रत्यारोपण वाली आधुनिक तकनीक

Mumbai, December 14, 2025 — SPIC MACAY (Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth) Mumbai Chapter had its founder and Padma Shri awardee Dr. Kiran Seth during his recent visit to the city.

Dadasaheb Yadav: The Pulse of Harmony

Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai

In this new body of work, Dadasaheb Yadav steps away from the representational terrains that once anchored his explorations of monsoon, earth, and the fragrant immediacy of Earth. Instead, he enters the atmospheric unknown; an arena where gesture becomes geography, colour becomes emotion, and abstraction becomes a language of its own unrestrained logic. These watercolour and mixed-media surfaces carry forward his lifelong fidelity to nature, but they no longer describe it; they distill it.

The works surge with washes of violet, viridian, cobalt, cadmium gold, and sudden explosions of black; strokes that feel like weather rather than depiction. Yadav has always been an artist tuned into elemental rhythms. Here, those rhythms unspool into pure energy. The paintings breathe in gradients, drips, and splashes, suggesting the moment before a storm breaks, the hush between waves, the twilight blur of sky dissolving into land. But this time, the harmony he invokes is not pastoral; it is kinetic, restless, charged with the honesty of lived experience.

These abstractions demonstrate an artist unafraid to cut away the literal. What remains is an emotional architecture: atmospheres rather than landscapes, sensations rather than scenes. The viewer is invited into a space where colour becomes memory, movement becomes intuition, and the boundary between internal and external worlds collapses. This is harmony understood not as quietude, but as equilibrium born out of flux, nature’s true state.

Yadav’s mature confidence is evident in his handling of fluid media: bleeding edges that resist containment, fields of pigment that collide yet hold their ground. His gestures feel both spontaneous and inevitable, as if the work knows how to form itself. The paintings echo the lineage of abstract expressionism yet remain unmistakably rooted in his own sensibility, devotional to nature but no longer beholden to its forms.

In these works, Dadasaheb Yadav offers viewers not a window to the world but a mirror to their own internal weather. The visual intensity, the chromatic rush, the raw immediacy, all converge into a profound reminder that harmony is not found; it is felt, encountered, and made anew each time the colours meet.
