Will Amish Devgan’s ‘Dhurandhar’ change the timing of Sumit Awasthi’s ‘ChakraView’?

Veteran journalist and news anchor Amish Devgan is set to launch his new show, ‘Dhurandhar with Amish Devgan’, on Times Now Navbharat. The promo for the programme has been released, with Devgan sharing a promotional video on social media. According to the promo, ‘Dhurandhar’ will premiere on 2 November 2026 and air from Monday to Friday at 6:50 pm. Following his move to Times Now Navbharat, the new show is set to become part of the channel’s prime-time line-up.

The launch of ‘Dhurandhar’ has also sparked discussions about a possible change in Times Now Navbharat’s prime-time schedule. The focus is on Sumit Awasthi’s programme, ‘ChakraView’, which currently airs in the evening slot. The show was launched in December 2025. With Devgan’s new programme arriving around the same time, there is speculation that ‘ChakraView’ could see a change in its broadcast timing.

Devgan began his new role as Managing Editor at Times Now Navbharat in September 2026. Before this, he was associated with Network18’s Hindi news channel News18 India, where he became known for prime-time programmes such as ‘Aar Paar’. The show featured discussions on politics, national issues and current affairs.

Sumit Awasthi is a familiar face in television news. His show, ‘ChakraView’, focuses on examining the reasons behind the day's major developments and their wider implications. It covers national politics, geopolitical developments and key issues from India and around the world. Rather than limiting coverage to headlines, the programme aims to provide context and analysis through visual explainers and fact-based discussions.

There is now speculation that ‘ChakraView’ could move from its evening slot to 10 pm. However, the channel has not made any official announcement regarding the possible change. According to Times Now Navbharat’s current programme schedule, ‘Sankalp’ airs at 10 pm. The programme analyses major news stories and important developments. If ‘ChakraView’ moves to the 10 pm slot, it remains to be seen whether ‘Sankalp’ will be rescheduled or undergo any changes to its broadcast arrangement.

With ‘Dhurandhar’ set to premiere on 2 November, attention will be on any changes to the channel’s prime-time line-up. Viewers will be watching to see how Devgan’s new show affects the scheduling of Awasthi’s ‘ChakraView’.
