Let me begin by saying what I will say at the end too Shankar Mahadevan is a musical genius. Reflecting on my journey with Shankar, it all began through the creative Imtiaz Dharker a cherished friend and renowned painter.
She reached out to me to write the lyrics for her documentary focused on Mumbai’s street children. She was aiming to capture their essence through a singular song rather than conventional commentary. I happily agreed.
Guided by Imtiaz, I found myself at a studio to meet Ehsaan Noorani. Soon after, his partner Shankar Mahadevan arrived. It was a brief yet defining interaction. In just minutes, he composed a musical masterpiece, leaving a lasting impression on me.
Later, I called Ehsaan, asking if they would be interested in composing for films. He said he would get back but never did. Later, I learnt that he got so flustered and nervous that...

I’ve seen a lot of murder mysteries lately, and let me tell you that nobody’s ever had as much of a multiple personality disorder (of sorts) as the new film Devil: The British Secret Agent. The film is just not sure what kind of murder mystery it is. Is it a historical drama plus a murder mystery, or just a crime drama murder mystery? I say this because filmmakers are spicing things up when it comes to this particular genre. We never get a straightforward plot these days because it would be called out as boring, perhaps. Devil: The British Secret Agent merges anything and everything to keep us guessing who the murderer was. And not just that, there is the angle of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose getting affected by the murders. The film is a period drama, action thriller, mystery, comedy, and romantic drama all rolled into one,...

Akshay Kumar Could Beat Dunki, Tiger 3 As His ‘Career’s Most Successful Director’ Ali Abbas Zafar With 1515 Crores (Last 3 Films’ Total) Might Gift Him In Bmcm? ( Photo Credit – IMDb; YouTube )
We recently wrote about how Akshay Kumar will enter the 5000 crore club at the box office with his 2024 releases & the biggest of them all has to be Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (Bmcm). Yes, he has Welcome To The Jungle as well, but his mega-actioner with Tiger Shroff backed by the most successful director he’ll ever work with.
Yes! We were digging some box office facts about Akshay Kumar, and the most surprising one we uncovered was that he has never worked with a director who has scored a 300+ crore (India net) film in their entire career. The most successful directors he has worked with are Shankar (2.0) & Rohit Shetty (Sooryavanshi).

Shah Rukh Khan & Rajinikanth’s Rejection History Goes Way Beyond Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Thalaivar 171(Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook)
Shah Rukh Khan has rejected a Rajinikanth film. That’s it, that’s the news for the day. It is surprising as well as shocking since who says no to Anna, right? However, what is more surprising it that the actor did not give a second thought as well, before rejecting the role since he was very sure about one thing – not doing cameos anymore.
If you don’t remember clearly, then we might brush your memory a little. In the past few years, Srk has done way more cameos than films. This includes his presence in Brahmastra, Rocketry, and Tiger 3. In fact, he is even expected to have a cameo in Suhana Khan’s next film, which is being directed by Sujoy Ghosh.

Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal’s much anticipated biopic’s new song ‘Banda’ is the perfect tribute to not just the legendary Sam Manekshaw, but also soldiers of the Indian Army. Sung by musical maestro Shankar Mahadevan, the song fully harbours the spirit of military decorum, mixing it with Bollywood flair.
Shankar Mahadevan’s own singing needs little mention at this point because it constantly reminds you of his brilliant performance in the title track of ‘Lakshya’, something with which ‘Banda’ shares many similarities.
The song has the rock signature while also being composed in a very traditional Bollywood style fashion, though much of the instrumentation and the high passion also oddly enough has a military decorum to it, which is really something very original.
Composed by the dynamic and acclaimed Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the music is fully suited to Shankar’s own voice and it does full justice. The production is also...

George Harrison was less interested in guitars and more interested in another instrument when he wrote The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” He revealed another rock star helped him create the song. Prince gifted the world with an awe-inspiring cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Why people love The Beatles’ ‘Why My Guitar Gently Weeps’
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” has interesting lyrics. However, it’s most beloved for its guitar riffs. That’s ironic, given George’s mindset at the time.
The book George Harrison on George Harrison: Interviews and Encounters includes an interview from 1977. In that interview, George discussed the composition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” “Well, for eight studio dates, and then I’d get the guitar out and just play, you know, learn a part and play for the record.” he said. “But I’d really lost a lot of interest in the guitar.

Review‘Bholaa Shankar’ would probably remain one of the few remakes that made an already terrible film – Ajith’s 2015 Tamil film ‘Vedalam’ – look better.If Balakrishna had brought back the boring ‘sister sentiment’ trope in his last film Veera Simha Reddy, it is Chiranjeevi’s turn to exploit the cliche in Bholaa Shankar. Directed by Meher Ramesh, Bholaa Shankar stars Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah, and Keerthy Suresh in the lead roles. Ramesh, notwithstanding his dismal record, is back to directing a film after a long gap of 10 years. Bholaa Shankar is the remake of the 2015 Tamil film Vedalam, which starred Ajith. Expectations for the film plunged after it was revealed that it is a remake of Vedalam. I mean, why would people be interested in a remake when the original version itself was poor. Chiranjeevi plays the title role. He works as a taxi driver in Kolkata. Similar to the auto driver...

Analysts reacted favorably Wednesday to a report in The Wall Street Journal that Disney has begun a review of its Star India business, which includes the possibility of a sale or joint venture. The company reportedly held discussions recently with at least one bank about options for helping the India business grow while offloading some of the costs.

Chennai, May 24 (Ians) Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 60 off 44 followed by a commanding display by the bowlers guided Chennai Super Kings (Csk) to their 10th final with a 15-run win over defending champions Gujarat Titans (Gt) in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 Qualifier 1 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, here on Tuesday.
Opener Devon Conway was struggling for rhythm but his partner Gaikwad was fluent as usual and stroked to his fourth fifty of the season. Gt pulled things back nicely during the middle overs and seemed to have control of the proceedings. Towards the end, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali chipped in with cameos as Csk managed to reach 172/7 in their 20 overs.
In reply, Gt couldn’t manage to build up any significant partnerships as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Rashid Khan’s 30-run cameo did give Gt a glimmer of hope but Csk bowlers were at their...

New Delhi, May 23 (Ians) The Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected a plea moved by the producers of the 1966 Bengali film ‘Nayak’, R.D.B and Co., seeking injunction against publishing house HarperCollins from printing the novelisation of the films screenplay.
Directed by iconic filmmaker late Satyajit Ray, ‘Nayak’ starring Uttam Kumar and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles was Ray’s second entirely original screenplay after Kanchenjungha (1962).
Justice C. Hari Shankar, while rejecting the plea, said that the first owner of copyright in ‘Nayak’ was Ray who wrote the screenplay for the movie, and he had the right to novelise the screenplay. However, consequent on his demise, that right could be assigned to his son (Sandip Ray) and others on whom the right devolved.
“As the first owner of the copyright in the screenplay of the film ‘Nayak’, therefore, the right to novelise the screenplay also vested in Satyajit Ray. That right...
