Indie musician Amartya Bobo Rahut, who recently released his song "Kaisi ho", says it is tough to make a name for yourself in the independent music arena.
"It is tough to reach out to people and build your fan base independently without the backing of an established music label or the framework of movies with stars who promote your music. But it is also a lot of fun, since I can make the songs that I wanted to make and produce them exactly the way I always wanted them to sound, without any external interference," he said.
Rahut is known for his singles "Shaam simiti", "Chup chup" and "Mere Aulia". He has also composed the independent album "Om: The Fusion Band" with Amit Trivedi and Shriram Iyer, as well as scored music for the films "Darbaan", "Tu Hai Mera Sunday" and "Uttarayan".
He says lockdown has helped him focus on making more music.

Mumbai, Dec 9 (Ians) Actor Sharib Hashmi, who recently appeared in the web film Darbaan, says that he has a guy-next-door image and, though he gets typecast in films at times, he has no complaints.
"As an actor it is important to grab the opportunity to do different roles in every project. I do not mind being typecast or getting stereotyped. For example, Charlie Chaplin -- we have seen him playing the same character, the gags are different and the stories are different. But it is the same character in different situations, right?" Sharib told Ians.
"As long as I am bringing something to the character, and enjoy doing it, I do not comp;lain even though I may have played such a character 10 times before. If Mr. Amitabh Bachchan would have thought of getting stereotype and refuses to do those characters, Indian cinema would have missed out...

Darbaan (Zee5)
Starring Sharib Hashmi, Sharad Kelkar, Rasika Dugal, Flora Saini and Harsh Chhaya
Directed by Bipin Nadkarni
There is something about Rabindranath Tagore’s stories that lends itself to great cinema. Darbaan is not a great film. But it’s a very good piece of cinema. Artistically imagined and gently executed, it has the very accomplished Sharib Hashmi playing a simple caregiver in a feudal family (the story is translocated from the end of zamindari to the takeover of the coalmines in Dhanbad in the early 1970s) whose life is a litany of subservience.
Hashmi immerses himself in the role with a furious passion that reminded me of Ashok Kumar in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Aashirwaad. Sharib Hashmi is a great actor destined to secrete his greateness in small meaningful films while actors with not even a grain of his talent are strutting around as stars in Bollywood.

Darbaan (film on Zee5); Cast: Sharib Hashmi, Sharad Kelkar, Rasika Dugal, Flora Saini, Harsh Chhaya; Direction: Bipin Nadkarni; Rating: * * and 1/2 (two and a half stars)
By Vinayak Chakravorty
It is easy to make a film if your material at hand is Tagore. Then again, it is just as hard, think of the purists. National Award-winning Marathi filmmaker Bipin Nadkarni enters Hindi films straddling those pros and cons.
Nadkarni's film rides a second asset besides the hallmark emotive nuances that come with a Rabindranath Tagore classic. Sharib Hashmi may still not draw immediate recall for many Bollywood buffs, but chances are if you recognise him from Filmistaan or the web series The Family Man, you know him as an actor who doesn't need much of an effort to light up a scene. With a title role in Darbaan, Nadkarni gives Hashmi an entire film to flaunt his skills.

Mumbai, Dec 3 (Ians) Sharib Hashmi's latest role could come across as a big challenge, if you are seeped in the classics and the written works of Rabindranath Tagore.
Sharib's new film is "Darbaan", based on Tagore's Bengali short story "Khokababur Pratyabartan". The tale has been memorably adapted for screen in 1960, by way of the classic Bengali film of the same name starring the late icon Uttam Kumar. Sharib essays the same role in "Darbaan", a Hindi adaptation of the Tagore story.
In the film, Sharib plays Raicharan, caretaker of the infant son of a rich household, who is fated to get entangled in a tragedy involving the child.
"Do not compare me with a legend like Uttam Kumar. I am nowhere close to his calibre as an actor. I have tried my best to deliver my performance to create the wonderful character of Raicharan, but he was a legend,...
