The Delhi government has officially declared Farhan Akhtar’s war drama 120 Bahadur tax-free in the national capital starting November 28, a move aimed at amplifying the film’s message of courage and honour. The announcement was made by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, who described the film as a powerful tribute to the exceptional bravery of the Charlie Company of the 13th Kumaon Regiment.

Key Highlights From the CM’s Statement:

Chand Mera Dil Trailer Out: Ananya Panday and Lakshya’s Romantic Drama Feels Familiar
The trailer of Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, was released on Sunday, offering audiences a glimpse into an emotional romantic drama packed with love, heartbreak, and intense confrontations.
Backed by Dharma Productions and produced by Karan Johar, the film appears to follow a conventional Bollywood romance template, with the trailer hinting at a predictable storyline.
What the Trailer Shows
The nearly three-minute trailer opens with romantic moments between the lead pair before quickly shifting into emotional conflicts and arguments.
From the visuals, the film seems to revolve around:
- a passionate love story
- emotional misunderstandings
- separation and heartbreak
- reconciliation and redemption
While the chemistry between the leads is evident, the trailer largely sticks to familiar storytelling beats often seen in mainstream romantic dramas.
Ananya Panday’s Role Feels Familiar
Ananya Panday appears in a role similar to her recent romantic-drama characters. Her performance in the trailer leans heavily on emotional scenes and relationship conflicts, though it does not showcase a major departure from her previous screen personas.
The trailer also suggests her character may prioritize self-respect and independence amid relationship turmoil — a common emotional arc in modern Bollywood romances.
Lakshya Takes Centre Stage as Romantic Lead
For Lakshya, Chand Mera Dil marks one of his first major outings as a full-fledged romantic hero.
While he looks convincing in softer romantic moments, some emotionally intense scenes involving anger and confrontation appear less impactful in the trailer.
The film hints that his character may struggle with emotional instability or anger issues, potentially becoming a central conflict in the narrative.
Supporting Cast Missing From Trailer
One notable aspect of the trailer is the absence of supporting characters. The promo focuses almost entirely on Ananya and Lakshya, giving very little insight into the film’s wider cast or subplots.
This suggests the makers are positioning the movie primarily as a lead-pair-driven romantic drama.
Music Already Generating Buzz
The film’s title track has already gained traction online. The song has been sung by Faheem Abdullah, known for the popular track Saiyaara.
The emotional soundtrack appears to be a major element of the film’s appeal and marketing campaign.
Release Date
Directed by Vivek Soni, Chand Mera Dil is scheduled to release in theatres on May 22, 2026.
Final Verdict on the Trailer
The trailer delivers:
- romance
- heartbreak
- emotional drama
- visually polished moments
However, it does not introduce a particularly fresh concept or unexpected twist. While fans of classic Bollywood love stories may enjoy the emotional tone and music, the trailer gives the impression of a fairly familiar narrative structure.
The film’s success may ultimately depend on:
- the chemistry between the lead actors
- emotional depth in the screenplay
- and the strength of its music album.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas Stuns in Amit Aggarwal Couture Crafted From 20-Year-Old Chikankari Saree at Gold Gala 2026
At the prestigious Gold House Gala 2026 in New York City, Priyanka Chopra Jonas once again turned heads with a couture look that beautifully merged Indian heritage with contemporary design.
Designed by celebrated couturier Amit Aggarwal in collaboration with celebrity stylist Ami Patel, the custom ensemble celebrated not only Priyanka’s global journey but also the enduring legacy of Indian craftsmanship.
The appearance marked a symbolic moment as Priyanka completed 25 years in the public eye, evolving from a Bollywood star to a globally recognised actor, producer, and cultural icon.
Inspired by Lucknow’s Chikankari Heritage
The couture creation drew inspiration from the timeless artistry of Chikankari, the centuries-old embroidery tradition associated with Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the design narrative, the delicate transparency and flow of Chikankari symbolised Priyanka herself:
- evolving constantly
- crossing boundaries
- carrying Indian identity onto the global stage
The ensemble aimed to reinterpret traditional Indian embroidery through a futuristic couture lens while preserving its emotional and cultural depth.
Crafted From a 20-Year-Old Saree
One of the most remarkable aspects of the outfit was its foundation.
The couture piece was reportedly created using a two-decade-old Chikankari saree, which was carefully restored, reconstructed, and transformed into a modern couture silhouette over several months.
The use of archival textile added emotional value to the look, turning it into more than just a red-carpet ensemble—it became a tribute to memory, legacy, and sustainability in fashion.
Women Artisans Worked on the Ensemble by Hand
Over the course of nearly one and a half months, women artisans across generations worked meticulously on the embroidery and detailing entirely by hand.
The outfit featured:
- Intricate hand embroidery
- Structural corsetry
- Glass beadwork
- Rubber cording
- Industrial material detailing
The final silhouette balanced softness with strength, blending fluid traditional textiles with sculptural modern construction.
Mughal Architecture Meets Futuristic Couture
The design language also drew heavily from:
- Mughal jali architecture
- Parametric design structures
- DNA helix-inspired patterns
Radiating motifs across the ivory-toned ensemble were designed to resemble sunlight emerging from intricate geometric forms.
This interplay between heritage embroidery and futuristic architecture created a look that felt both timeless and experimental.
Amit Aggarwal on Designing the Look
Speaking about the couture creation, Amit Aggarwal described the ensemble as a visual interpretation of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ personal and professional evolution.
According to the designer, the goal was to express:
- identity
- resilience
- femininity
- transformation
through “craft, form, and emotion.”
He explained that the translucent textiles paired with strong structural elements symbolised “softness and resilience coexisting simultaneously.”
More Than a Fashion Moment
Priyanka’s Gold Gala appearance quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity fashion moments of the year—not only for its visual impact but also for the story behind it.
The ensemble highlighted:
- Indian textile heritage
- The contribution of women artisans
- Sustainable couture practices
- The global relevance of traditional craftsmanship
At a time when fashion increasingly embraces cultural storytelling, Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ look stood as a reminder that heritage and innovation can coexist beautifully on the international stage.
A Celebration of Indian Craftsmanship
Somewhere between centuries-old embroidery and futuristic couture architecture, the look captured a larger message:
traditional Indian craftsmanship continues to evolve without losing its soul.
And at the Gold Gala 2026, Priyanka Chopra Jonas carried that story elegantly onto one of the world’s most visible cultural platforms.
