Debonair is an English-language monthly magazine published by the Be Debonair Foundation.[1][failed verification] It is one of India's most popular entertainment magazines and includes news, interviews, photos, videos, reviews, events, and style. Previously Debonair was an Indian monthly men's magazine, originally modeled after Playboy.[2]

History and profile

Debonair was founded in 1973[3][4] and its first issue was published in April 1974.[5] The founder was Susheel Somani[3] and the founding company was G. Claridge Printing Press, owned by Somani.[5]

The magazine, best known for its topless female centerfolds, was first edited by Ashok Row Kavi and Anthony Van Braband.[6] Vinod Mehta also worked as the editor of the magazine.[4] It was published on a monthly basis.[3] Under the editor Derek Bose, Debonair was reformatted to remove nudity and target a younger demographic in 2005.

Debonair has also featured a number of Indian film actresses on its cover when they were just beginning their careers. This includes Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit, photographed by the photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha.[7][8]

The magazine was relaunched by the Be Debonair Foundation in 2022.[citation needed] It is now part of Mavilach Group.[9] Ratnakar Mavilach is the magazine's editor.[citation needed]
