Zam Zam Perfumers brings 35 years of non-alcoholic fragrance heritage to Mumbai with first store launch

Zam Zam Perfumers brings 35 years of non-alcoholic fragrance heritage to Mumbai with first store launch

Mumbai, June 20, 2026: Zam Zam Perfumers, one of India's established names in traditional non-alcoholic attars and fragrances, has marked its entry into Maharashtra with the launch of its first Mumbai store in Mumbra, Thane. The expansion represents a significant milestone for and Indian brand and fragrance house, which has been crafting alcohol-free attars since 1991.

Founded in the historic neighbourhood of Hazrat Nizamuddin in New Delhi, Zam Zam Perfumers has spent over three decades preserving the traditional art of attar-making while catering to evolving consumer preferences. Over the years, the brand has expanded its presence across key fragrance markets, built a portfolio of more than 150 fragrances, and established a loyal customer base across India.

The new store, located at Shop No. 3, Ali Chamber, Amrut Nagar, Mumbra, offers customers access to the brand's complete range of fragrances spanning oudh, rose, amber, musk, floral, fruity, citrus, oriental and bakhoor families. The outlet will also showcase the company's premium Elysian Collection, featuring fragrances such as Kalimat, Adab, Ehsas, Passion and Ilhaam.

The decision to enter Mumbai was driven by growing demand from customers across the city who have been purchasing Zam Zam fragrances online for several years. The company believes the city's appreciation for craftsmanship, authenticity and premium fragrance experiences makes it a natural destination for expansion.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Mohd Umer Salman Kharodiya, Retail Head, Zam Zam Perfumers, said, "The launch of our first Mumbai store is a landmark moment in our journey. For years, we have received tremendous support and encouragement from customers across Mumbai who connected with our fragrances through online channels. Opening our doors in Mumbra allows us to bring the Zam Zam experience closer to them while introducing a wider audience to the richness of traditional non-alcoholic perfumery. We see Mumbai as a key market in our long-term growth strategy and the beginning of a much larger expansion journey."

The launch comes at a time when consumer interest in traditional perfumery is witnessing renewed momentum. Industry trends indicate growing demand for non-alcoholic fragrances, oud-based creations, personalised scent experiences and heritage-inspired products, particularly among younger consumers seeking authenticity and cultural connection.

Designed as an immersive fragrance destination, the Mumbai store allows visitors to explore, sample and discover scents through a guided experience rooted in traditional attar culture. All fragrances are prepared using non-alcoholic formulations, reflecting the company's longstanding commitment to quality, hygiene and craftsmanship.

Building on its Mumbai debut, Zam Zam Perfumers plans to expand further across the city while strengthening its footprint in North India and entering key markets in South India. The company also intends to broaden its premium fragrance portfolio and enhance its digital presence to serve customers across India and international diaspora communities.

‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल’ चित्रपटावरून नवा वाद; मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाची सेन्सॉर बोर्ड आणि मुख्यमंत्र्यांकडे धाव

 ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल’ चित्रपटावरून नवा वाद; मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाची सेन्सॉर बोर्ड आणि मुख्यमंत्र्यांकडे धाव

‘छोटा मराठा’ शब्दप्रयोगावर आक्षेप; चित्रपटगृह जाळण्याचा इशारा, राज्यभर आंदोलन पेटण्याची शक्यता.  

मुंबई (प्रतिनिधी) – राज्यभरात चर्चेचा विषय ठरलेल्या आणि अनेक ठिकाणी प्रेक्षकांचा उत्स्फूर्त प्रतिसाद मिळत असलेल्या ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल’ या चित्रपटाभोवती आता नव्या वादाचे वलय निर्माण झाले आहे. चित्रपटामध्ये मराठा समाजाचा उल्लेख कथितपणे ‘छोटा मराठा’ असा करण्यात आल्याचा आरोप करत ‘मराठा क्रांती मोर्चा’ने तीव्र नाराजी व्यक्त केली आहे. या संदर्भात सेन्सॉर बोर्ड तसेच मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांच्याकडे अधिकृत तक्रार दाखल करण्यात आली असून चित्रपटावरील आक्षेपार्ह भाग हटविण्याची मागणी करण्यात आली आहे.

मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाच्या पदाधिकाऱ्यांनी दिलेल्या माहितीनुसार, मराठा समाज हा महाराष्ट्राच्या सामाजिक, ऐतिहासिक आणि सांस्कृतिक जीवनाचा अविभाज्य घटक आहे. अशा समाजाचा उल्लेख कोणत्याही चित्रपटात कमीपणा दर्शविणाऱ्या शब्दांत होणे समाजाच्या भावना दुखावणारे असल्याचा दावा त्यांनी केला आहे. ‘छोटा मराठा’ हा शब्दप्रयोग समाजात मोठा-छोटा असा भेद निर्माण करणारा असून तो समाजाच्या प्रतिष्ठेला धक्का पोहोचवणारा असल्याचे मोर्चाचे म्हणणे आहे.

निर्माता-दिग्दर्शक संजीव कुमार राठोड यांच्या ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल’ या चित्रपटाची प्रदर्शना आधीपासूनच मोठ्या प्रमाणात चर्चा होती. राज्यातील प्रशासकीय यंत्रणा, सामाजिक प्रश्न आणि विविध संवेदनशील विषयांवर भाष्य करणारा हा चित्रपट असल्याने त्याच्या आशयाबाबत अनेक स्तरांवर चर्चा रंगली होती. चित्रपटाच्या सेन्सॉर प्रक्रियेदरम्यानही काही अडथळे आल्याची चर्चा होती. मात्र आवश्यक प्रक्रिया पूर्ण करून चित्रपटाला प्रदर्शनाची परवानगी मिळाली आणि त्यानंतर राज्यातील विविध चित्रपटगृहांमध्ये तो प्रदर्शित झाला.

चित्रपट प्रदर्शित झाल्यानंतर काही प्रेक्षकांनी त्यातील विषय मांडणीचे कौतुक केले, तर काही सामाजिक संघटनांनी चित्रपटातील काही संदर्भांवर आक्षेप नोंदवले. आता मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाने उपस्थित केलेल्या मुद्द्यामुळे हा वाद आणखी तीव्र होण्याची शक्यता व्यक्त केली जात आहे.

मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाचे पदाधिकारी अभय पाटील यांनी या प्रकरणी थेट केंद्रीय चित्रपट प्रमाणन मंडळाकडे तक्रार केली आहे. तसेच मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांनाही पत्र पाठवून या प्रकरणात हस्तक्षेप करण्याची मागणी केली आहे.

मोर्चाच्या म्हणण्यानुसार, जर चित्रपटामध्ये समाजाच्या भावना दुखावणारे संवाद किंवा संदर्भ असतील, तर सेन्सॉर बोर्डाने ते कशाच्या आधारे मंजूर केले, हा प्रश्न निर्माण होतो. अशा प्रकारच्या मजकुराची पडताळणी होणे आवश्यक असल्याचे त्यांनी नमूद केले आहे. 

मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाच्या काही पदाधिकाऱ्यांनी प्रशासनाने आणि सेन्सॉर बोर्डाने योग्य ती दखल घेतली नाही, तर राज्यभर आंदोलन छेडण्याचा इशारा दिला आहे. तथापि, आंदोलनाचे स्वरूप आणि पुढील भूमिका याबाबत अंतिम निर्णय लवकरच जाहीर करण्यात येणार असल्याचे सांगण्यात आले आहे.

काही पदाधिकाऱ्यांकडून चित्रपट प्रदर्शित करणाऱ्या चित्रपटगृहांविरोधात तीव्र आंदोलनाचा इशारा देत, चित्रपट दाखवला तर चित्रपट गृहाला आग लावू असा सज्जड दम देण्यात आला आहे.  

या संपूर्ण वादावर चित्रपटाचे निर्माता-दिग्दर्शक संजीव कुमार राठोड यांची प्रतिक्रिया जाणून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न करण्यात आला. मात्र त्यांच्याशी संपर्क होऊ शकला नव्हता. त्यामुळे चित्रपट निर्मिती संस्थेकडून या आरोपांवर काय स्पष्टीकरण दिले जाते, याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष लागले आहे.

चित्रपटाबाबत सध्या दोन वेगवेगळे मतप्रवाह दिसून येत आहेत. एका बाजूला चित्रपटातील सामाजिक आणि प्रशासकीय विषयांवरील भाष्याचे स्वागत करणारा वर्ग आहे, तर दुसऱ्या बाजूला काही समाजघटकांनी चित्रपटातील विशिष्ट संदर्भांवर तीव्र आक्षेप घेतले आहेत. त्यामुळे अभिव्यक्ती स्वातंत्र्य आणि सामाजिक जबाबदारी यांमधील समतोलाचा प्रश्न पुन्हा एकदा चर्चेच्या केंद्रस्थानी आला आहे.

मराठा क्रांती मोर्चाच्या तक्रारीनंतर मुख्यमंत्री कार्यालय, गृह विभाग आणि सेन्सॉर बोर्ड यांची पुढील भूमिका काय असेल, याकडे राज्याचे लक्ष लागले आहे. तक्रारीची दखल घेऊन चित्रपटाचे पुनर्परीक्षण होणार की प्रकरण केवळ आंदोलनाच्या इशाऱ्यांपुरते मर्यादित राहणार, हे येत्या काही दिवसांत स्पष्ट होण्याची शक्यता आहे.

दरम्यान, अखिल भारतीय बंजारा समाजाच्या वतीने संजीवकुमार यांना काही आम्ही शांत बसणार नाही असा इशारा दिला आहे. ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल’ चित्रपटावरील हा वाद पुढील काळात अधिक तीव्र होतो की संवादातून मार्ग निघतो, हे पाहणे महत्त्वाचे ठरणार आहे.

‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल्स’ पाकिस्तान, सर्व इस्लामिक देश आणि चीनमध्ये प्रदर्शित होणार*

 *‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल्स’ पाकिस्तान, सर्व इस्लामिक देश आणि चीनमध्ये प्रदर्शित होणार*

ट्रेलर आणि प्रेक्षकांच्या प्रतिक्रिया पाहिल्यानंतर, तसेच समीक्षकांचे अभिप्राय ऐकल्यानंतर, या चित्रपटाच्या निर्मात्यावर परदेशातून त्यांच्या देशांतील जवळच्या चित्रपटगृहांमध्ये हा चित्रपट प्रदर्शित करण्यासाठी मोठा दबाव येत आहे.

१२ जून रोजी मराठी भाषेत ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल्स’ प्रदर्शित झाल्यानंतर, चित्रपट पाहून चित्रपटगृहांबाहेर येणाऱ्या प्रेक्षकांच्या प्रतिक्रियांमुळे नागरिक, सरकारी अधिकारी आणि लोकप्रतिनिधींमध्ये पारदर्शक प्रशासनाच्या नावाखाली जनतेच्या वेदना आणि दडपशाही यावर एक नवी चर्चा सुरू झाली आहे. या चित्रपटाने लोकांना पुन्हा विचार करण्यास भाग पाडले आहे की लोकशाही भारत खरोखर किती लोकशाहीवादी आहे? सामान्य माणसाचे म्हणणे ऐकले जाईल अशी कोणती व्यवस्था आहे का? जनतेच्या तक्रारींचे निवारण होईल अशी काही यंत्रणा आहे का?

या चर्चा केवळ भारतातील समस्या नाहीत, तर जगातील सर्व देशांतील जनतेच्या समस्या आहेत. विशेषतः पाकिस्तान आणि सर्व इस्लामिक देशांतील लोकही हा चित्रपट त्यांच्या देशांत प्रदर्शित करण्याची मागणी करत आहेत.

निर्मात्याला मॉरिशस, फिजी, ऑस्ट्रेलिया आणि काही युरोपीय देशांतूनही हा चित्रपट डब करून तेथे प्रदर्शित करण्याच्या मागण्या येत आहेत.

‘दंगल’ने केवळ चीनमध्येच सुमारे १३०० कोटी रुपयांची कमाई केली होती. भारतीय चित्रपटसृष्टीबद्दल चीनमधील प्रेक्षकांची आवड आणि चीनमधून ‘द महाराष्ट्र फाईल्स’साठी येणारी मागणी इतकी मोठी आहे की निर्माते संजीवकुमार राठोड हा चित्रपट चीनमध्येही प्रदर्शित करणार आहेत.

चित्रपटाचे निर्माते संजीवकुमार राठोड यांनी आपल्या चाहत्यांना आणि परदेशातील प्रेक्षकांना आश्वासन दिले आहे की ते लवकरच इतर परदेशी देशांमध्येही हा चित्रपट प्रदर्शित करण्यासाठी सर्व आवश्यक व्यवस्था करत आहेत.
