Taaza Khabar Season 1 💎

Vasant “Vasya” Gawde (Bhuvan Bam) is a poor sanitation worker in Mumbai who struggles to make ends meet while caring for his aging father and younger sister. One day, he accidentally receives a supernatural boon – every time he says “ Taaza Khabar ”, his next wish (related to an ongoing situation) comes true. But the boon comes with unexpected, often dark consequences. From turning a ₹20 note into thousands to resurrecting the dead, Vasya uses the power to rise socially, only to realize that every wish has a karmic price.

Taaza Khabar Season 1 —the debut lead web series for YouTube sensation Bhuvan Bam—is a gritty yet fantastical "rags-to-riches" story set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s slums. Released on Disney+ Hotstar in January 2023, the six-episode series blends social realism with magical realism to explore how a supernatural "vardaan" (blessing) can transform—or destroy—a common man's life. taaza khabar season 1

Customize the installer behavior with Installer JS scripting, and pre/post-install shell scripts. Figuring out exactly what command line arguments and environment variables there are to use is a cinch, because the built-in shell script editor conveniently lists them all with documentation.

DMG Canvas Integration

One click: PKG in DMG, Code Signed and Notarized.

Just like Apple does, when shipping your .pkg file, you may want to place it in a disk image .dmg with a beautiful background and perhaps a license agreement as well. Package Builder integrates with DMG Canvas which is the perfect tool for building your disk image. With this integration, building your disk image in DMG Canvas will now automatically build your installer in Package Builder, and place the .pkg file into your disk image, code signed, notarized, and ready to go.
