27 August 2025: (Mumbai, Maharashtra) - Gujarati cinema is really pushing boundaries with the film Vash Level 2.

Swati Bhat

Directed by Krishnadev Yagnik and brought to you by Panorama Studios, this sequel goes beyond the usual horror flick. It's a thrilling ride that cleverly mixes supernatural stuff with deep human feelings.

The movie continues from the eerie world of Vash, elevating it to a darker, more intelligent, and complex level. Rather than relying on jump scares, it immerses you in an atmosphere where every scream is impactful and every silence is menacing.

The performances constitute the essence of the narrative. Hitu Kanodia delivers one of his most believable roles lately, playing a father caught between worry and valour. National Award-winning actress for Vash Janki Bodiwala, with her captivating presence, shows once again why she’s leading the new Gujarati wave. One of the biggest highlights of Vash Level 2 is Hiten Kumar’s performance in a challenging double role. The sharp differences in body language, voice modulation, and screen presence make it clear when he switches between the two roles yet, he never lets it feel theatrical or forced. Monal Gajjar's character requires a blend of vulnerability and quiet strength, which she delivers with natural ease. Chetan Daiya impresses with his controlled and powerful performance as a real cop. Renowned for his commanding screen presence, Chetan once again demonstrates why he is a reliable actor.

The technical aspects of the film are commendable. Haresh Bhanushali and Prashant Gohel's cinematography captures Gujarat's haunting beauty with precision, expertly balancing realism and a sense of dread. The framing and lighting intensify the tension seamlessly. Shivam Bhatt’s editing is precise, maintaining an unwavering thrill.

The sound design is equally powerful, showcasing that Gujarati films now excel in technical skills.

Even though every movie has its quirks and some scenes might drag a bit, with horror buffs guessing a few scares, the characters' emotional depth and the thrilling climax really make up for it, offering a satisfying movie experience.

Backed by the vigorous support of Panorama Studios, Vash Level 2 boasts a polish and scale that sets new standards for Gujarati thrillers. It's vivid, innovative, and a proud milestone for Indian regional cinema as it competes on an international level.

In essence, Vash Level 2 is more than a sequel; it's a declaration. A declaration that Gujarati cinema is prepared to embrace contemporary genres, offer quality storytelling, and reach broader audiences while staying true to its cultural roots.

Sophie & the Giants & Purple Disco Machine return with the immediate club favorite Paradise.

Paradise, which was released on June 16th, follows the duo's collaboration on the international successes Hypnotised and In the Dark, both of which were on the German producer and Grammy winner's 2021 album Exotica.

Sophie and the Giants and Purple Disco Machine reunite for their new track Paradise, reuniting one of modern pop music's most inventive and successful collaborations.

After two chart-topping singles, the duo reunites to produce the summer anthem of 2023.

After crafting the song this time, Sophie realised there was only one person who could completely realise Paradise's club-dominating potential: her friend and artistic foil Purple Disco Machine, AKA Tino Piontek.

“I wrote this song as a classic dancefloor hit, welcoming you into my Paradise,” explains Sophie of the new single. “It’s so hypnotic that hedonistic arms will pull you onto the dance floor and make you want to scream out the lyrics while doing things you’ll regret.”

Driven by shimmering synths, an irresistible disco click, and Sophie’s enveloping vocals, Paradise is an evocative escape into a landscape of neon lights, pulsing strobes, and kinetic limbs as the song cascades across the dancefloor, enchanting bodies and minds as it goes.

“I hope Paradise makes people feel completely free and libera, like nothing else matters but this moment,” declares Sophie. “Whoever you are, forget about what is bringing you down ,kiss somebody and move your body to this song!”

Sophie and the Giants and Purple Disco Machine’s first collaboration, 2020’s Hypnotized, was a global hit amassing 425 million streams and 120 million plays on YouTube as it topped charts across Europe. Their second track together, 2022’s In The Dark, has already reached 200 million combined streams and was Number 1 on APC’s chart for the whole of the EU. Both songs have gone Gold and Platinum in a host of countries since their releases.

This long-term success stems directly from Sophie and Tino's strong creative and artistic understanding, which they formed while working together in the studio and on which Paradise draws.

"I'm so excited to be collaborating with Purple Disco Machine for the third time," Sophie says of their most recent musical collaboration. "After the way we worked together on Hypnotised and In The Dark, I knew as soon as I wrote Paradise that it was meant for the two of us."

The new single follows the success of Sophie and the Giants' last single, DNA ft Mearsy, released earlier in 2023, as well as last summer's We Own The Night, which both confirmed the London-based artist's dancefloor credentials. Sophie's tracks have now been streamed over 125 million times (excluding collaborations) have now been streamed over 125 million times internationally, and she has 3.8 million regular Spotify listeners.

Following a series of praised European gigs in late 2022, Sophie and The Giants have announced a 2023 tour, which will include a full sweep of European festivals and a September headline tour, providing a summer Paradise for everyone.
