Mona Ki Manohar Kahaniyan Now Streaming on Hungama OTT

Hungama OTT, one of India’s leading digital entertainment platforms, launched its latest original series, Mona Ki Manohar Kahaniyan, on 22nd May 2025. Set against the backdrop of a murder investigation, this psychological thriller thrusts viewers into a twisted world of suspicion, manipulation, and deception. Directed by Saket Yadav and produced by Rajveer Ahuja and Sachin Shinde, the series stars Srishty Rode, Ankur Nayyar, and Daisy Bopanna in key roles.

Unravelling within the four walls of an interrogation room, Mona Ki Manohar Kahaniyan begins with Inspector Pawan (Ankur Nayyar) probing Mona (Srishty Rode), a prime suspect in a string of gruesome murders, whose haunting stories blur the line between truth and fiction. What begins as a routine investigation soon spirals into something far more sinister.  With every chilling story Mona shares, Pawan is pulled deeper into a psychological maze, unsure if she’s the killer or a master manipulator playing him all along. As his marriage to his wife (Daisy Bopanna) begins to fracture and Mona’s charm grows more dangerous, viewers are left guessing – who is in control, and who’s being played?

Speaking about the series, Siddhartha Roy, CEO of Hungama Digital Media, said, “We’re excited to bring you Mona Ki Manohar Kahaniyan – a sneak peek into the kind of fresh, engaging stories we’re building at Hungama OTT. Whether you’re into thrillers, drama or something offbeat, we’ve got something for every mood and moment.”

Srishty Rode shared her experience stepping into the shoes of Mona, stating, Mona is unlike any character I’ve played before — unpredictable, intense, and deeply layered.  She’s the kind of character who reveals just enough to keep you curious but never enough to be fully understood. Exploring her many shades was both thrilling and challenging. The format of the show allowed me to experiment with storytelling in a whole new way, and I’m excited for audiences to step into her world.”

Ankur Nayyar spoke about his role, highlighting, “Inspector Pawan is a man torn between duty and doubt. The psychological push-and-pull between Mona and him is at the heart of the show. There’s tension, mistrust, and a strange pull. What drew me to this character was the mental unravelling that happens as the story progresses. This isn’t your typical cop vs. criminal thriller. It’ll surprise you in ways you won’t see coming.”

Daisy Bopanna added, “The emotional tension in the series isn’t just in the interrogation room — it seeps into every relationship. I play the wife caught in the ripple effects of a case that slowly invades their marriage. My character brings a human perspective to the chaos, and I believe audiences will connect with the vulnerability she brings to the story.”

With jaw-dropping plot twists and unpredictable pacing, Mona Ki Manohar Kahaniyaan is the perfect binge-worthy watch for fans of the genre. Don’t miss out on this psychological thriller, all episodes now streaming on Hungama OTT. The series is available to stream on Hungama OTT and partner platforms, including Tata Play Binge, Watcho, BSNL, PlayboxTV, RailWire Broadband, Airtel Xstream Play, and Dor TV.

First-Time Co-Stars Ibrahim Ali Khan & Shanaya Kapoor Star in PUMA India’s Film on GenZ Street Culture

National, May 21, 2025: Bringing Ibrahim Ali Khan and Shanaya Kapoor together for the first time on screen, sports brand PUMA India has released a cinematic ride with a new campaign film for its iconic Palermo sneaker. The two budding young actors bring their natural chemistry to the screen with a side of India’s youthful chaos that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary.

The two-minute-long film is a heartfelt celebration of young India’s creativity and resourcefulness. The fresh pair of Bollywood is seen teaming up with their gang, adding fun to their everyday lives. Whether it’s Shanaya upcycling her old PUMA jacket into a trendy ensemble, Ibrahim hitchhiking to save a quick buck, or the gang transforming a humble bedsheet into a rooftop movie screen, the crew cruises through to find joy on a sidewalk budget. It is a playful take on how the country’s youth stay inventive, expressive, and always in motion — with Palermo as their go-to sneaker for every step.

Ibrahim Ali Khan, Actor & PUMA India ambassador, said, “The film is all heart, all hustle, and just so close to how I feel our generation rolls. PUMA has this unique way of turning everyday stories into something cool and real and it brought out that side of me too. Shooting with Shanaya was super chill, and I think our chemistry just shows. Everything was easy, spontaneous, and very us. The Palermo sneaker adds to the mood. It’s classic, stylish, and built for every kind of plan or no-plan kind of day in our lives. I am sure that my new film with PUMA will strike a chord with all in the country, can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions!”

Shanaya Kapoor, Actor & PUMA India Ambassador, added, “What I love most about this film is how it keeps things real — it’s not about perfection, it’s about personality. We had a blast bringing that mood to life, and it really felt like one big hangout. The Palermo fitted right in. It’s easy, effortless, and full of character, just like the moments we’ve captured. Shooting it with Ibrahim was all masti, no pressure, and it all comes through on screen.” 

Rooted in the legacy of football terrace culture, known for its classic T-toe construction and gum sole, the Palermo sneaker has long been a symbol of style, community and self-expression. With this new campaign filmPUMA yet again puts India’s cool youth culture at the forefront, where creativity, jugaad, and street-smart innovation rule. As a sports brand deeply invested in sport and style, PUMA continues to tell iconic stories that effortlessly bridges its global legacy to India’s truly local voice.

Commenting on the occasion, Shreya Sachdev, Director-Marketing at PUMA India, said, “As a global brand, PUMA has always successfully existed at the forefront of local culture. We believe in telling stories that feel fresh, yet familiar and full of heart. Celebrating the spirit of resourcefulness that India thrives on — finding joy in chaos and creativity, and ensuring that your circumstances don’t hold you back from living life to the fullest — is what PUMA Palermo is all about. This is why it continues to hold a special place in the hearts and wardrobes of India’s youth.”

The film’s feel-good energy builds on the massive success and nostalgic warmth of PUMA’s first Palermo film released in 2024— a vibrant ride through Mumbai, Kolkata and Shillong that celebrated friendship and city culture. Palermo 2.0 dials it up with newer energy. While the heart of the story remains the same — capturing how today’s youth do more with less — this time the film layers in bolder visuals, cooler hacks and moments that feel straight out of your own camera roll.

This year also sees the iconic Palermo sneaker in newer avatars. Besides fresh colourways, the new drop will soon introduce Palermo Premiums — a refined, all-leather silhouette with luxe finishings and signature trimmings.
