September 2025 News Archive

Welcome to the September 2025 roundup from Progressive Broadcast Circle News. In just a few weeks we covered a diplomatic showdown, a massive Ganpati immersion, stubborn Delhi rain, IPL weather alerts, and a blockbuster’s roller‑coaster box‑office performance. Below you’ll find the headlines, why they mattered, and what you might have missed.

Politics & Diplomacy

India’s First Secretary to the UN, Petal Gahlot, stole the show at the General Assembly when she fire‑backed Pakistan’s prime minister with a crisp rebuttal. The moment went viral, but the internet really lit up when an old video of her strumming a guitar resurfaced. Suddenly the diplomat was also celebrated as a musician, sparking chats about multitasking in politics.

Weather & Climate

Delhi‑NCR saw moderate rain and sticky humidity on September 3, dropping temperatures to the low‑20s Celsius and nudging the AQI down to 75. The India Meteorological Department warned of heavier showers later in the day, advising commuters to stay clear of busy roads.

At the same time, a severe weather alert hovered over Kolkata, threatening the IPL 2025 opener between KKR and RCB at Eden Gardens. Thunderstorms with wind gusts up to 60 km/h were forecast, though the rain‑chance dipped to about 25% by evening. Ground staff covered the outfield, and fans were told to keep an eye on updates.

Earlier in August, a forecast had warned of scorching 35.6 °C heat across Delhi‑NCR, with humidity hovering around 65 %. The same system was set to bring scattered showers to Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, offering a brief respite from the swelter.

Culture & Celebrities

Anant Ambani joined thousands of devotees at the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati Visarjan in Mumbai on Anant Chaturdashi. Walking alongside the crowd, he and his wife Radhika Merchant visited the pandal earlier for blessings. The immersion saw tight security, traditional performances, and the city’s signature mix of faith and spectacle.

Entertainment & Box‑Office

Pawan Kalyan’s epic "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" exploded onto screens, crossing ₹100 crore worldwide within four days. Yet the momentum faded fast – the film slipped more than 80 % on the fifth day and struggled to breach ₹90 crore net in India by day 17. Despite a ₹300 crore budget and releases in five languages, the movie could only recover about 28 % of its production cost from theatrical runs.

The box‑office dip sparked debates about high‑budget regional films and their reach beyond core markets. Critics pointed to premium pricing and limited appeal outside the Telugu belt as key challenges.

That’s the pulse of September 2025 on PBC News. Whether you’re tracking political twists, planning a safe commute, or curious about the latest celebrity buzz, our archive has the quick facts you need. Dive back into any story for deeper analysis, and stay tuned for what October brings.
