Burger King India has expanded its flavour-packed menu with the launch of its Limited-Time Peri-Peri Fest, bringing a fresh line-up of burgers, sides and value meals inspired by the globally loved Peri-Peri flavour. Available across Burger King restaurants nationwide from July 7, the new menu continues the brand's signature Dunking experience following the positive response to its Korean Kimchi Fest. The Peri-Peri Fest menu is available for dine-in, takeaway and delivery. Customers can also choose from exclusive Peri-Peri combos and meal upgrades for a complete flavour-packed experience. The limited-time menu features nine new offerings, including Peri-Peri Veg Whopper, Peri-Peri Chicken Whopper, Peri-Peri Paneer Burger, Peri-Peri Cheese Burger, Peri-Peri Chicken Burger, Peri-Peri Chicken Wings, Peri-Peri Boneless Chicken, Peri-Peri Chicken Nuggets and Peri-Peri Fries. To mark the launch, Burger King India has introduced a colourful campaign inspired by the African and Portuguese roots of Peri-Peri, blended with a Gen Z-inspired style. The campaign features an original musical film filled with vibrant visuals, music and cultural influences, celebrating the bold flavours in a distinctly Burger King way. Commenting on the launch, Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing & Digital Officer, Burger King India, said: "Peri-Peri has emerged as one of India's most loved flavour profiles, fuelled by consumers' growing appetite for bold and exciting flavours. With Peri-Peri Fest, we're taking that love a step further by bringing consumers an experience that's rooted in the true origins of Peri-Peri. Our signature Dunked Peri-Peri platform delivers richer, bolder flavour in every bite, offering a distinctive Burger King experience that's both craveable and memorable." Sharing the creative thought behind the campaign, Anupama Ramaswamy, Managing Director & Chief Creative Officer, Havas Creative India, said: "The product itself has a natural sense of theatre as it's dunked for full flavour. We wanted the campaign to mirror that same exuberance. Instead of simply talking about flavour, we turned it into a musical celebration with an original soundtrack that's catchy, energetic and impossible to forget. Every beat, visual and movement was crafted to make audiences feel the joy of going all in." To support the launch, Burger King India is rolling out a nationwide 360-degree campaign across digital platforms, out-of-home advertising, social media, influencer collaborations, in-restaurant branding and local activations. As part of the celebration, customers purchasing select Peri-Peri x Sprite Meal Combos through the Burger King App will get a chance to win a free trip to Korea through a lucky draw. The app also offers exclusive Crazy App Deals for dine-in guests, making the Peri-Peri Fest even more rewarding.

The stage is set for the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, with defending champions Argentina set to take on Spain on Sunday, July 19, in what promises to be one of the tournament's biggest encounters. Argentina booked its place in the final after a thrilling 2-1 victory over England in the semi-final. Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez scored late to complete the comeback, while Lionel Messi played a key role by providing two assists. Spain, meanwhile, reached the summit clash after maintaining its impressive run throughout the tournament. Ahead of the final, former England striker Robbie Fowler and Germany goalkeeping legend Oliver Kahn, speaking as ZEE5 experts, said Spain has been one of the standout teams at the World Cup. However, they also believe Argentina has the experience and quality to challenge the European champions if it can capitalise on the opportunities created. With football fever building across the country, the Karnataka government has announced extended operating hours for hotels and restaurants in Bengaluru to allow fans to enjoy the late-night matches. Following a representation from the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), the state government has permitted hotels and restaurants to remain open until 3:30 a.m. on July 14, July 15 and July 19, when key FIFA World Cup matches are scheduled to be played late at night in India due to time-zone differences. Sharing the announcement, Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said the decision was taken to ensure football enthusiasts can enjoy the matches without inconvenience. The relaxation has been granted under the provisions of the Karnataka Police Act, allowing hotels and restaurants to continue serving guests until 3:30 a.m. on the notified dates. Following the government's decision, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh issued the necessary orders permitting late-night screenings of FIFA World Cup matches and extending the operating hours of hotels and restaurants. The move is expected to benefit Bengaluru's hospitality sector, with restaurants, cafés and hotels preparing to welcome football fans for the much-awaited Argentina vs Spain final on Sunday.

Revital, one of India’s leading multivitamin brands from Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, has unveiled its latest integrated campaign featuring Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, bringing a fresh perspective to the conversation around everyday fatigue and energy. The campaign aims to encourage consumers to recognise that feeling low on energy may not always be linked only to physical exertion.

Building on the evolving understanding of modern lifestyles, Revital’s campaign highlights the impact of stress and mental demands on overall energy levels. The initiative encourages consumers to take a more holistic approach towards everyday vitality while highlighting the importance of scientifically formulated nutrition. Featuring Vicky Kaushal, the campaign film portrays relatable everyday situations and brings alive Revital’s message of understanding fatigue beyond traditional perceptions. Commenting on the campaign, Vidhi Shanghvi, Executive Director, Sun Pharma, said that changing consumer lifestyles have created a need to redefine how people view energy and fatigue. She highlighted the importance of science-led nutritional solutions in supporting consumers as they navigate increasingly demanding routines. The campaign has been conceptualised in partnership with Ogilvy India and aims to shift the conversation around fatigue from only physical tiredness towards a wider understanding of lifestyle-related energy challenges. Akshay Seth, Senior Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy India, said the campaign was designed to create a relatable yet thought-provoking narrative by exploring the role of stress as an everyday factor influencing energy levels. The integrated campaign will be rolled out across multiple platforms, including television, digital channels, connected TV (CTV), OTT platforms, and social media, allowing Revital to engage consumers across different touchpoints. Backed by a formulation containing 20 essential nutrients, including Natural Ginseng, Revital continues to focus on supporting everyday energy and nutritional needs. The brand’s latest campaign reflects its commitment towards addressing evolving consumer expectations through science-backed wellness solutions. With growing awareness around preventive health and lifestyle wellness, Revital aims to strengthen its position in India’s nutrition and wellness segment by encouraging consumers to rethink how they understand fatigue, energy, and overall well-being
