New Delhi, Sep 13 (Ians) Actress Shilpa Shetty’s upcoming film ‘Sukhee’ has released a new song titled ‘Nasha’ featuring the pop star Badshah. The song perfectly harnesses the feeling of her character of a tired mom who takes a vacation from her routine life to rediscover her zest for life into a groovy and positive, synth-pop track with a filmy touch.
The song in itself is a very upbeat pop song with a lot of electronic influence, typical of the synth-pop or modern day electronic pop, though it also has a ‘touch’ of Bollywood’s dance songs, and sure is a foot tapper.
Simple, wholesome and elegant, nothing in ‘Nasha’ is overdone as it more than suits the film’s theme and legitimately makes audiences feel a sense of being ‘sukhee’ (happy), discovering the joys of life and happiness in the simplest of things.

The trailer of the second season of the Abhishek Bachchan-starrer ‘Breathe: Into the Shadows’ is packed with action and thrill. The trailer gives a sneak peek of the upcoming season with Abhishek Bachchan’s character of ‘J’ returning to eliminate his remaining targets.
But, what makes the trailer interesting is the entry of a new character played by ‘Pitchers’ fame Naveen Kasturia. Naveen’s character is the one who brings out the darkness of Abhishek’s character of Avinash and is the reason the latter feels he overlaps with his split personality of J.
The trailer is generously peppered with high-octane action in the form of chase sequences and face-off as Kabir Sawant (played by Amit Sadh) goes all out to catch hold of J and his actions.
The second season of the psychological thriller will also see Nithya Menen, Saiyami Kher and child artiste Ivana Kaur reprising their roles.

The Hindi-language film industry, popularly known as Bollywood, is displaying its resilience after being hit by yet another Covid-enforced pause.
India is currently in the throes of the pandemic with 330,000 new Covid-19 cases everyday, with upward of 2,200 daily deaths. The western Indian state of Maharashtra, home to Mumbai and Bollywood, is amongst the worst hit with more than 67,000 new daily cases and 568 deaths. Of these, Mumbai accounts for some 7,410 cases and 75 deaths. The state is operating under severe movement restrictions, a lockdown in all but name, and Bollywood productions have paused.
Though the intensity of the pandemic is higher during this wave, compared to last year, there is one major difference – the industry has been through a year of hardship and is now better equipped to deal with the crisis, once the Maharashtra government lifts restrictions.
The restrictions are currently due to be lifted on May 1, unless the pandemic takes a turn for the worse.
