The number of jobless people in the US rose by more than 20 million in April, something deemed worthy of a mention in the “and in other news” slot on the BBC’s evening TV bulletin.

I worked in a company for three years from 2016 to 2019 and as I attained 60 years, as per company policy they retired me. After this I applied for final withdrawal of PF from EPFO. I got the withdrawal amount, however they deducted Income Tax at 10% (TDS). Here my query is my service was only 3 years and due to my age I was not able to complete minimum age of 5 years and company as per the policy retired me. In this case can I claim refund of IT deducted. If so, under which section.

Mother’s have been an important part of Hindi cinema. Over the years, the portrayal of mothers in Bollywood has been changing. Mothers are given much more importance in cinema than just being a character actor who has to nod to everything the husband or the child says. 

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, here’s looking at some of the most popular on-screen mothers. 

Rakhee 

Her dialogue “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge'' is not something that one will forget anytime soon. She played mother to actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in the hit film Karan Arjun. While Rakhee has played varied roles in her illustrious career spanning over 50 years, when it came to being a mother onscreen she has been seen as a woman of principles including in films like Baazigar, Ram Lakhan, Soldier, Khalnayak and others. 

Farida Jalal 

Farida Jalal too has been part of the industry for almost fifty years and continues to impress people with her charm. While the actress has played different kinds of roles, her motherly onscreen figure is the one most remembered by people. From being Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in Duplicate to Kajol’s in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge, she is the kind of mother who is always ready to make sacrifices for her child. She is also popular for the savage yet emotional grandmother of Jiya from the television series Shararat. 

Kirron Kher

She is often cast as the loud Punjabi mother with a soft heart always caring and worrying about her child. From Dostana, to Hum Tum to Singh is King to Om Shanti Om she was the mother who could also make you laugh with her snarky comments. While she started her career in film in 1983, most of her hit films including Main Hoon Na and Rang De Basanti see her play the role of a mother. 

Reema Lagoo

Best remembered for her role in Tu Tu Main Main, she has largely been seen in Bollywood films playing the emotional mother. She has played mother to most superstars in the late 80s and 90s. She was considered as a "new-age mother" in Hindi cinema. She was low on drama and was not too emotional either, perfectly maintaining the balance between the two. From Hum Saath Saath Hai to Hum Aapke Hai Kaun to Kal Ho Naa Ho, she is the kind of mother you just want to give a hug and say everything will be okay. 

 Jaya Bachchan 

How can an onscreen mother’s list be complete without Jaya Bachchan. She raised the bar for on-screen mothers with her performance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The scene with Shah Rukh Khan’s entry in the film will be remembered for Jaya Bachchan’s sixth sense rather than the superstar’s entry. She then went on to ditch the saree and all the parampara and thali and was seen playing a bold single mother in Kal Ho Naa Ho. 

Ratna Pathak Shah

She will always be remembered dearly as Maya Sarabhai who could accept anything else but being middle class. When it comes to playing a mother in Bollywood, she has never been typecast and has shown variety in her characters. In Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na she was the protective and progressive mother to Imran Khan’s character who could not tolerate violence or any unjust activities. She once again played mother to Imran Khan in Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. She was a rich- sophisticated woman yet very different from her character Maya Sarabhai. Meanwhile, she played a middle-class mother to Taapsee Pannu in the film Thappad who worried more about “Log Kya Kahenge”.

Today, May 10, India celebrates Mother’s Day. The Internet is flooded with people sharing their fond memories with their mothers and thanking them for everything they do selflessly. Owing to the lockdown, many are unable to celebrate this day they usually do with several people staying away from their family. All this love is now being outpoured on social media. 

Bollywood celebrities are also taking to social media to share pictures, songs and poems for their dear mothers. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is debuting a song titled 'Ma', dedicated to all mothers. Sanjay Dutt has penned a poem for late mother Nargis Dutt, while Ananya Panday shared an old video where she is answering who is her most favourite person in the world and she says her mother. Sara Ali Khan shared an unseen picture of her as a newborn baby posing with her mother and grandmother. Other celebrities also wished their mothers in their own ways with heartfelt posts.

It is that day when we celebrate motherhood, mothers, their unmatched love and every small and big thing they do for us. Bollywood celebrities have been sharing heart-warming photos and posts on social media, to mark the day. For Shilpa Shetty, however, it is an extra special day since her surrogate daughter Samisha came home a few months back, and she gets to celebrate the day with her two children now!

During a recent interview, Shilpa reveald that she always wanted two kids since she knows how impactful having a sibling can be, and did not want son Viaan to grow up alone. However, she developed an auto-immune condition called APLA which caused her miscarriages every time she got pregnant.

Before she decided to opt for surrogacy, Shilpa revealed she had also considered adoption as an option and put her name with an organisation for the same. However, it got pushed due to internal disputes and after waiting for four years, her patience got over and she and husband Raj Kundra decided to have a surrogate baby.

On Instagram, we keep coming across photos of the happy family, and Viaan always looks excited to have been promoted to a big brother.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Shilpa!

Actor Dipika Chikhlia, who was seen playing the role of Sita in Ramayan, was introduced to an unmatched popularity that has not faded even today. In an earlier interview, she had revealed how people in the villages would still refer to her as Sita and would even try touching her feet! However, given a choice today, Sita would not be the character she would like to play.

In a recent conversation, Dipika revealed she had evolved as an actor, and would rather be interested to play Kaikeyi, lord Ram's stepmother who insisted her husband Dashratha to send Ram, Lakshman and Sita to an exile for 14 years. Dipika added that playing a negative career was an entirely different experience and she was fond of playing roles that let her explore herself as an artist.

Actor Sunil Lahiri, who played Lakshman's character, said he'd still pick the same role, but if he had another choice, he would like to get into the shoes of Ravana as the character had many shades and would give an actor many varieties to perform.

As the nationwide lock-down began, Doordarshan started re-airing some of its most popular TV shows, Ramayan being the first one. On April 16, it became the world's most watched TV show, with 7.7 crore viewers.

The season of comebacks is here in the K-pop industry! Big Hit Entertainment's rookie group Tomorrow x Together is set for their second comeback this summer. The quartet will complete their trilogy with 'The Dream Chapter: Eternity'. 

The first teaser of their title track 'Can't You See Me' is here. More than one year after their debut, the boys are all grown up in this comeback. You hear them sing, "Can't you see me? / Like that magical day / Say believe me / Can't you see me?"

The five members are seen spending some good times together before everything falls apart. In the end, all of them stand outside a burning house as Soobin is seen screaming! It already looks like the MOAs are in for an emotional rollercoaster ride.

The concept trailer had similar emotions - a sense of losing your close friends over the course of time and lost feeling Soobin senses when he gets captured in the glass box.

The album is set to release on May 18, 2020. The group, which includes five members - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai, debuted on March 4, 2019, with the EP 'The Dream Chapter: Star' with lead single 'Crown'. This was followed by 'The Dream Chapter: Magic' with '9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)' as its lead single.

Not just that, they also made their Japanese debut on January 15, 2020, with the single 'Magic Hour'.

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Films directed by Abhishek Kapoor have traditionally carried good music. From <em>Rock On</em> to <em>Fitoor</em>, the music has been consistently impressive and has been as per the theme and setting of the film. Now that he is bringing on <em>Kedarnath</em> that marks the launch of Sara Ali Khan opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, one waits to hear what do composer Amit Trivedi and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have to offer. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-926514" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Petition-filed-in-Gujarat-High-Court-seeking-ban-on-Sushant-Singh-Rajput-Sara-Ali-Khan-starrer-Kedarnath.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> There is something truly divine about the manner in which <strong><em>‘Namo Namo’</em></strong> begins. A devotional number which is truly devoid of any forced Bollywood inspirations, this one is a well rendered number by Amit Trivedi and makes an instant impression. A smooth sailing song that has a peaceful feel to it and is further accentuated due to the striking visuals that go alongside, ‘<em>Namo Namo’</em> can well be assured of a long shelf life amongst those who want to hear a devotional number first thing in the morning. A love song arrives next in the form of <strong><em>‘Qaafirana’</em></strong> and the mood and feel remains consistent with the kind of set up that Abhishek wanted to put together for <em>Kedarnath</em>. Moreover, there is certain director’s touch that is apparent in the way the tune has been composed, words have been written and especially the manner in which Arijit Singh has rendered this one. There are minimum instruments in the background as primarily it’s the voice and the core composition that takes centre stage which ensures that <em>‘Qaafirana’</em> turns out to be a soulful number that can be heard for a serene experience. What further adds to the beautiful melody is the manner in which Nikhita Gandhi makes a very good impression as a singer despite making a late entry. Things take a celebratory turn as Dev Negi enters the scene and croons <strong><em>‘Sweetheart’</em></strong>. A fun number which is just the kind that one could expect from a Karan Johar, Imtiaz Ali or Aditya Chopra film, this one is as Bollywood as it gets. As a matter of fact it also faintly reminds one of <em>‘Butterfly’</em> [<em>Jab Harry Met Sejal</em>] due to the kind of desi stage and setting that goes with the situation in which the song is set. This one could well have been picked up by Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor or Shahid Kapoor with glee and in that aspect Sushant Singh Rajput can well be happy about the fact that he bagged ‘Sweetheart’ which is a potential chartbuster. Arijit Singh returns on the scene, this time with <strong><em>‘Jaan ‘Nisaar’</em></strong> which appears in a couple of versions. A situational number where the male protagonist is trying to understand why his ladylove is unhappy with him and is trying to woo her all the way back, this one has a smooth flow to it which sees Indian melody being supported by Western instruments. That said the consistency of sound stays in the mood set so far in <em>Kedarnath</em>. Asees Kaur is the voice of the female version and this one somehow appears to be even slower. This is the kind of number that is good when heard in a stand-alone fashion though one can’t expect it to emerge as a chartbuster of sorts. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Kedarnath</em> is good and though it doesn’t have too many songs to result in a complete package affair, it is fine till it lasts. This one has the kind of music that could well grow on the basis of the success of the film. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Namo Namo’</em>, <em>‘Qaafirana’</em>, <em>‘Sweetheart’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> After Sunny Deol's delayed releases <em>Mohalla Assi</em> and <em>Bhaiyaji Superhit</em>, it is now time for Sunny Leone's long pending <em>Tina &amp; Lolo</em> to finally see the light of the day. Announced five years back, the film was originally supposed to feature Minissha Lamba with Sunny Leone. However, Karishma Tanna came in place of Minissha, though the film continued to get delayed. Now that it is gearing up for arrival, one waits to see how does the film's music turn out to be. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-930160" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Music-Review-Tina-Lolo.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="450" /> <strong> MUSIC</strong> Enbee and Ikka (who is also the lyricist) come together as composers and singers for <strong><em>'Dirty Girl'</em></strong>. A fun-n-naughty number that is just in the kind of territory that one expects from a Sunny Leone dance number, this one with Shivangi Bhayana as the female singer has the kind of hook-line which is catchy but that's about it. Otherwise whether it is the beginning or the end of the intermittent rap portion, there isn't much striking about 'Dirty Girl'. On the same lines as <strong><em>'Aaj Blue Hai Paani Paani</em></strong>' [Yaariyaan], <strong><em>'Tension Waali Raat'</em></strong> does fetch your attention. An Arko written and composed song, this one has Neha Kakkar in her element as she goes about singing this one in her own naughty 'andaaz'. Though the choreography and picturisation of the song with Farhad Bhiwandiwala as the other vocalist leaves much to be desired, as a standalone number it does make you play it again. Had the number been released at the time when Sunny Leone was in her prime, this one could well have covered a distance. Last to arrive is the song of seduction, <strong><em>'Raat Ke Saaye Tale</em></strong>', which is rendered by Aakanksha Sharma. A lazy number that has standard lyrics by Rohit Sharma, it also has ordinary music by Raghav Sachar that hardly leaves much of an impression. This one may just about make heads turn if supported by the kind of picturisation that the genre, stage and setting desires. Otherwise as just a musical piece it makes for a one time hear and that's about it

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> <em>Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi</em> is a dream project of Kangana Ranaut and she has given more than a year into making this happen. While it is expected that the film would have the much required scale, canvas and grandeur that the subject necessitates, the same is expected from music as well which is put together by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyricist Prasoon Joshi. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-941752 size-full" title="Music Review: Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Music-review-–-Manikarnika-The-Queen-of-Jhansi.jpg" alt="Music Review: Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Shankar Mahadevan is the lead singer for <strong><em>‘Bharat’</em></strong>, a patriotic number which is about bringing the country first before your own self. One wonders if the song is primarily for end credits roll since its theme and tonality suggests a sober conclusion to the war drama that Kangana is bringing on screen. The soundtrack in fact concludes with another version which has Prasoon Joshi narrating (and not singing) it for the audiences. Meanwhile, Shankar Mahadevan is back with <strong><em>'Vijayi Bhava'</em></strong>, yet another theme track which is about moving ahead in the right direction and aim for victory. This is the song that should well have been positioned right at the beginning of the album since it comes with just the right kind of passion and energy that one expects from <em>Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi</em>. Reminding of the kind of soundtrack that <em>Baahubali</em> series boasted of, <em>'Vijayi Bhava'</em> should make for a good impression if picturised well on screen. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Bolo Kab Pratikar Karoge'</em></strong> which has Sukhwinder Singh at the helm of affairs. Yet another song which is high on energy and should arrive at a crucial juncture of the film's narrative when the protagonist is gearing up for the battle, it has a thump to it that should make an impression when experienced in theatres. For the first time in the soundtrack a female voice is heard, what with Pratibha Singh Baghel coming behind the mike for <strong><em>'Rajaji'</em></strong>. A romantic number that should play between Manikarnika and her beau, this one has a sweet sound to it and should bring on some light moments on screen. Pratibha does well as the voice of Kangana and she is joined by Ravi Mishra who arrives in the later part of the song. Yet again, one can't expect the song to emerge as a chartbuster here but should fit in well into the film's narrative. It is back to theme songs in <em>Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi</em>, what with Shankar Mahadevan coming up with <strong><em>'Shiv Tandav'</em></strong>. As is expected in a song belonging to this genre, this one too stays on to be strictly situational and one waits to see how it is picturised for the big screen experience. Rest assured, one can expect Kangana Ranaut in a fiery avtar here. A song about waiting for the love of your life to be back soon, <strong><em>'Tak Taki'</em></strong> is yet another song that is rendered by Pratibha Singh Baghel. This too is a situational number and at best should aid in taking the story forward. With a period feel to it, this one does well though in staying well within the mood and ambience of the era gone by. The soundtrack concludes with <strong><em>'Dankila'</em></strong> which has a horde of singers coming together in the form of Prajakta Shukre, Shrinidhi Ghatate, Siddharth Mahadevan and Arunaja. A celebration number that should be set in the happier times of Manikarnika's life, <em>'Dankila'</em> should have arrived much earlier in the film's soundtrack. This one has the right energy to it with a peppy feel. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Manikarnika - The Queen of Jhansi</em> is in line with what the film's subject and narrative warranted. Though one doesn't foresee any chartbusters here, the songs should do well to aid the film's narrative. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Dankila’</em>, <em>‘Vijayi Bhava’</em>, <em>‘Rajaji’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Music of an Emraan Hashmi has to be special. However, since <em>Why Cheat India</em> is more of a concept based film that deals with education nexus, one doesn't really have much of an idea around what to expect from the entire soundtrack. Multiple composers, lyricists and singers come together to create half a dozen songs for <em>Why Cheat India</em>. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-941751 size-full" title="Music Review: Why Cheat India" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Music-review-–-Why-Cheat-India.jpg" alt="Music Review: Why Cheat India" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> There is a surprise in store right at the beginning though with a Punjabi club number kick-starting the proceedings. This isn't something that one expected from <em>Why Cheat India</em> and hence a rollicking start like this is much welcome. An all-around Guru Randhawa show in terms of composition, lyrics and rendition, <strong><em>'Daaru Wargi'</em></strong> is a fun number that should find itself as a hot favourite amongst the DJs at the clubs and the dance floors. Chartbuster material. Punjabi mood continues in <em>Why Cheat India</em> with newcomer singer Prabhjee Kaur giving a good account of herself in her major Bollywood outing. A celebration number that is well composed by Krsna Solo, <strong><em>'Stupid Saiyaan'</em></strong> is as 'desi' as it comes and gets your foot tapping right away. Lyricist Kumaar delivers once again with this catchy number that should find good traction. Finally arrives a theme song in the form of <strong><em>'Kaamyaab'</em></strong>. An Agnee composition that has been put to words by Juhi Saklani, this one is a complete departure from what one had heard so far. Coming across as a non-film number, it is sung by Mohan Kannan who narrates the tale of a student who has to do well in life while taking the route of right education. Bappi Lahiri's chartbuster composition <em>'Dil Mein Ho Tum'</em> [<em>Satyameva Jayate</em>] is recreated by Rochak Kohli and he does a really good job with lyricist Manoj Muntashir who adds on to original words of Farooq Qaiser. A soothing number that makes the transition from 80s to the current times rather seamlessly, it is sung quite well by Armaan Malik who makes sure that the current generation would be enticed too with this romantic outing. It's the sound of the harmonium that kick-starts the proceedings for <strong><em>'Phir Mulaqat'</em></strong>. A love song which doesn't quite come across as a 'ghazal' outing that it is supposed to depict, this one could well have made an even better impression had it been picturised as a quintessential Emraan Hashmi number. Instead, a solo stage setting visually dilutes the impact that this Kunaal-Rangon composed number could have created. Kunaal writes the lyrics too and first Jubin Nautiyal and later a female singer who goes by the name RII. In fact she does even better. Last to arrive is Juhi Saklani written <strong><em>'Taiyaari'</em></strong> which is sung and composed by director Soumik Sen himself. This one in fact turns out to be a rather boring outing and comes across as a dull piece. It tries to narrate the plight of students who are studying hard to clear their entrance exams. However, it depresses more instead of making you really feel engaged with the kids. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Barring a couple of songs, the music of <em>Why Cheat India</em> works with a couple of these promising to be chartbusters as well. If the film does well at the Box Office, one can well expect the music to grow further as well. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Daaru Wargi’</em>, <em>‘Dil Mein Ho Tum’</em>, <em>‘Phir Mulaqat’</em> (female version), <em>‘Stupid Saiyaan’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> It is in fact surprising to find a soundtrack for <em>Sonchiriya</em>. Yes, director Abhishek Chaubey has incorporated music in his earlier films like <em>Ishqiya</em>, <em>Dedh Ishqiya</em> and <em>Udta Punjab</em>. Still, with the Chambal setting of <em>Sonchiriya</em>, you don't quite expect music in there. However, Abhishek has done that by bringing on board composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Varun Grover. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-956952 size-full" title="Music Review: Sonchiriya" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Music-Review-Sonchiriya.jpg" alt="Music Review: Sonchiriya" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> It is a Western country music beginning for <em>Sonchiriya</em> as Mame Khan brings on an 'alaap' for <strong><em>'Baaghi Re'</em></strong> even as a guitar plays in the background. This one has a haunting feel to it which goes well with the theme of the film. Moreover, there is this distinct Vishal Bhardwaj element that comes into play for <em>'Baaghi Re'</em> which sets it apart from the other soundtracks that you hear in Bollywood. Not that this one, or its 'remix version' that follows, would be a chartbuster but in the context of the film it plays its part well. Rekha Bhardwaj, who definitely comes up with a song or two whenever Vishal Bhardwaj is the composer, goes solo for the title song <strong><em>'Sonchiraiya'</em></strong> which is later heard in the 'reprise version' as well. This one is a slow moving soft number and has a vintage 70s feel to it which is in line with the kind of songs that were created by Gulzar back then. This time around though it is Varun Grover as the lyricist. While yet again there isn't any commercial value that the song comes with, it should play well as a part of the film. Arijit Singh comes on board for <strong><em>'Ruan Ruan'</em></strong> and pretty much sings this one in a style that is actually synonymous with that of Vishal Bhardwaj himself. The sound of the whistle that accompanies the song is again in line with the Western country music and you like the intoxicating feel that comes with the core of <em>‘Ruan Ruan'</em>. Had this song been promoted smartly and aggressively, it could well have covered some kind of distance. That said, despite Arijit on board, this one too is basically quite niche and for a select audience. Next to arrive is the traditional number <strong><em>'Naina Na Maar'</em></strong> which has its lyrics recreated by Ashok Mizaj Badr. First upbeat number of the soundtrack, this one has Sukhwinder Singh at the helm of affairs and his free flow mode of singing does aid in bringing good vibrancy into the proceedings. He is supported by Rekha Bhardwaj and while there is some kind of energy that comes in when the song is being played, one waits to see how it is picturised for the big screen. Last to arrive is an out and out situational number <strong><em>'Saanp Khavega'</em></strong> which is basically about the 'survival of the fittest'. A kind of number which is basically put together for the purpose of aiding the storytelling instead of playing a part where the commercial aspect of the soundtrack is enhanced, this Sukhwinder Singh sung number just about passes muster. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Strictly situational with no real commercial appeal. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Ruan Ruan’</em>, <em>‘Baaghi Re’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> The promo of <em>Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota</em> candidly admits that it doesn't wish to be slotted as a festival film. That is pretty apparent when it comes to the soundtrack as well since there are as many as eight songs in there, albeit pretty offbeat in nature. Newcomer Karan Kulkarni puts together the entire album with Garima Obrah writing maximum songs. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-966210 size-full" title="Music Review Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Music-Review-Mard-Ko-Dard-Nahi-Hota.jpg" alt="Music Review Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Benny Dayal goes all energetic in <strong><em>'Rappan Rappi Rap'</em></strong> which has quirky lyrics in there right through the song's four minute duration. A fun track that has a peppy appeal to it, this one is unique in its own way as you have never heard something like this before at least in the Bollywood scheme of things, courtesy lyricist Garima Obrah. Karan joins hands with lyricist Garima Obrah and also comes behind the mike for <strong><em>'Kitthon Da Tu Superstar'</em></strong> which has Sanj V taking the lead. A Punjabi number which has just the kind of musical ingredients that you expect in a song belonging to this genre and setting, this one has a foot tapping appeal to it. Before the album concludes though, there is a shorter <em>'Shooter Version'</em> too which is Sanj V show all the way with Dipanjan Guha joining Karan Kulkarni for the music. Guest composer Shantanu Ghatak comes up with <strong><em>'Tere Liye'</em></strong> which starts with the sound of a piano. This one has Vishal Mishra beginning the proceedings with newcomer Kamakshi Rai joining him behind the mike along with Karan Kulkarni himself. A song based in night, this one tries to be all serene and cool though eventually turns out to be just about decent. Karan Kulkarni takes lead as a singer along with Saba Azad for <strong><em>'Nakhrewaali'</em></strong>. This one has a different kind of a sound to it when compared with the kind of Bollywood numbers that one has been exposed to. That said, the final impact is not really the kind that makes you root for it. Written by Garima Obrah and Hussain Haidry, this one just about passes muster. What catches your attention at the very onset of the title of the song that goes as <strong><em>'Life Mein Fair Chance Kiska'</em></strong> (Jimmy Mani Song). The lead singer here is Suresh Triveni who sings in a style similar to that of S.P. Balasubramaniam, and that too rather intentionally. However, even though this Garima Obrah written number tries to be all cool and funny, it doesn't really manage to make much of an impression. Moreover, the manner in which Suresh Triveni sings this one along with Surya Ragunaathan and Veera Fauzia Saxena, you can hardly comprehend it. Kamakshi Rai returns, this time for an English number <strong><em>'Dreamtime'</em></strong>. Written by Karan Kulkarni, this one has an out and out Western base to it with a club setting to it. One waits to see how this one is picturized on screen and so is the case with <em>'Shaolin Sky'</em> which follows next. This one has Karan Kulkarni playing the triple role of composer, lyricist and singer, even as he tries to bring back the theme of <em>'Rappan Rappi Rap'</em> intermittently. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota</em> is too niche and certain portions of some of the songs may probably make an impression during the film's storytelling, but that's about it. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Rappan Rappi Rap’</em>, <em>‘Kitthon Da Tu Superstar’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Most of the times when newcomers are launched, the film belongs to the romantic genre. Of course when it is a love story in the offering then music has to be a strong point as well. Moreover, <em>Notebook</em> is a Salman Khan production and hence you do expect composer Vishal Mishra to deliver goods along with his team of lyricists who come together for five tracks. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-966217 size-full" title="Music Review: Notebook" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Music-Review-Notebook.jpg" alt="Music Review: Notebook" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> The manner in which <strong><em>'Safar'</em></strong> begins, you are reminded of <em>'Ilahi'</em> [<em>Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</em>]. Moreover, Mohit Chauhan is the common element as well which further enhances the appeal of this Kaushal Kishore written number. Composer Vishal Mishra does well to create the kind of music that is set in the hills and brings in the right serenity that you associate with such milieu. Based on Kashmiri folk music, lyricist Kaushal Kishore spins <strong><em>'Bumro'</em></strong>, the core theme of which was also heard in Hrithik Roshan's <em>Mission Kashmir</em> almost two decades back. This time around it is Kamaal Khan who renders <em>'Bumro'</em> and while the impact is decent enough, you still want to go back to the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composition that had made waves back in year 2000. It's the sound of piano that kick-starts the proceedings for the first romantic number in <em>Notebook</em>, <strong><em>'Nai Lagda'</em></strong>. Vishal Mishra brings himself behind the mike for this soothing love song that is based on melody with Akshay Tripathi coming up with quintessential filmy lyrics. A song about pain associated with separation, this one has Asees Kaur as Vishal's companion and is fair. Vishal Mishra steps in as a lyricist too along with Abhendra Upadhyay for <strong><em>'Laila'</em></strong>, another love song, which is led by Dhvani Bhanushali. A soft sounding number which has a core situational appeal, it has orchestra playing a major role as there is a variety of instruments coming into play. With a Western influence to it, this one starts seeping into mind after repeated hearing. Last to arrive is <strong><em>'The Notebook Symphony'</em></strong> and can well be expected to be a part of the film's background score. An elaborate piece which is made to accentuate the soundtrack's big screen appeal, this one should make an impression along with the film's narrative. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Notebook</em> is decent and though there aren't any major chartbusters out there, as a group of songs there is certain consistency coming into play. If the film does well in theatres, the music should find added traction. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Safar’</em>, <em>‘Nai Lagda’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> With the soundtrack of <em>Junglee</em> arriving on the day of the film's release, there has hardly been any awareness around the music. Moreover, the film is a jungle adventure and hence at best one expects composer Sameer Uddin to have come up with situational numbers. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-967442" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Junglee-2.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> There are only three songs in the album, and the first one is written by Anvita Dutt. Titled <strong><em>'Fakeera Ghar Aaja'</em></strong>, this one is about a man's homecoming and makes for a situational setting. With a decent sound to it, it has some functional rendition by Jubin Nautiyal and just about passes muster. Next to arrive is Kumar Suryavanshi written <strong><em>'Garje Gajraj Hamare'</em></strong> and this one is an ode to elephants. It tries to be all cute and nice with a child accompanying Vidyut as they go around the village. However, the end result is hardly the kind that would make you feel like playing this Navraj Hans, Hamsika Iyer, Abhishek Nailwal and Gulshan Kumar sung number on loop. Kumar Suryavanshi is also the lyricist for last number in the album, <strong><em>'Dosti'</em></strong>. This one actually turns out to be better of the lot with Mohan Kannan's vocals adding to the song's appeal. This one has a kind of setting that Pritam puts together for many a Mohit Chauhan numbers and actually makes for a pleasant hear. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of Junglee is by and large forgettable. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Dosti’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> The film <em>PM Narendra Modi</em> is set for release this Friday and the soundtrack has been unveiled too. Given the fact that the film is a biopic, one expects patriotic flavour in this music of <em>PM Narendra Modi</em> which has multiple composers and lyricists collaborating to bring together half a dozen songs. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-968004" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/PMNM.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Prasoon Joshi is the lyricist of the opening number <strong><em>'Saugandh Mujhe Iss Mitti Ki'</em></strong> that is composed by Shashi - Khushi and has Shashi Suman singing in a manner that is reminiscent of Sonu Nigam. He is joined by Sukhwinder Singh behind the mike and together they actually come up with a decent outing that reminds one of the kind of music that A.R. Rahman's <em>Lagaan</em> carried. <strong><em>'Namo Namo'</em></strong> has been a prominent slogan for last half a decade and that turns out to be the hook-line of the song. A rap number that is written and rendered by Parry G, this Hitesh Modak composed track is high on intensity and aims at being a power packed outing. Producer Sandip Ssingh too debuts as a singer with this theme song that has Lavaraj as the lyricist as well. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Sameer's <strong><em>'Hindustani'</em></strong> was a huge hit when released back in time for Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt's unreleased <em>Dus</em>. The song is presented in a new avtar with Parry G's rap kick-starting the proceedings and Sardaana writing added lyrics. This time around it is Shankar Mahadevan's son Siddharth Mahadevan who takes over the mantle and is joined by Shashi Suman as the singer. The overall impact is lacklustre though, as is the case with most of the recreations that are heard first. Shashi-Khushi and Sadaraa come together for <strong><em>'Fakeera'</em></strong> which turns out to be a rather dull outing. Very old fashioned and just not the kind of number that can be expected to make an impression amongst today's audiences, this Raja Hasan and Shashi Suman rendered track belongs to the quick-skip variety. The song which follows next turns out to be even duller, what with composer Hitesh Modak and lyricist Lavraj not really managing to entice any patriotic reactions. Based on Indian classical music, <strong><em>'Junoon'</em></strong> is sung by Javed Ali and though the singer does try, the ordinary tune and the arrangements that accompany it don't really help the cause. The soundtrack concludes with Suvarna Tiwari rendering <strong><em>'Ishwar Allah'</em></strong> which had featured in A.R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar's <em>1947 Earth</em>. Hitesh Modak recreates the song along with lyricist Lavraj and though the 'sur' is in synch with the mood of rest of the album, it doesn't quite entice you much to go for a repeat hearing. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Core situational and thematic. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Saugandh Mujhe Iss Mitti Ki’</em>, <em>‘Namo Namo’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> There are huge expectations from the music of <em>Kalank</em>. After it, it sees Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala join hands who bring on board composer Pritam along with lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya. Moreover, with a stellar cast at its disposal and Varun Dhawan along with Alia Bhatt leading the show, you do expect fireworks. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-971649" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Kalank-4-2.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is <strong><em>'Ghar More Pardesiya'</em></strong> which is set during the Dusshehra sequence in the film. The song helps take the narrative forward for the film as Alia Bhatt meets Madhuri Dixit and then Varun Dhawan for the first time. The well written number has a good metaphorical reference too and Pritam brings a new dimension of his to the fore by putting together this semi-classical track that is very well rendered by Shreya Ghoshal. Later in the soundtrack, a 'radio edit' version appears which has Vaishali Mhade joining Shreya. This one adds to the recall value. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'First Class'</em></strong> and this is also the best song of the soundtrack, what with a peppy tune, catchy lyrics and some 'masti se bharpoor' singing by Arijit Singh and Neeti Mohan. In fact one wonders why this wasn't the first song to be promoted and placed right at the top of the soundtrack. With a start that reminds one of Pritam's own <em>'Afghan Jalebi'</em> [<em>Phantom</em>] and the flow that is on the same lines as <em>'Saree Ke Fall Sa'</em> [<em>R... Rajkumar</em>], <em>'First Class'</em> is a chartbuster with cool rhythm accompanied by the dance moves that have become quite popular. Arijit Singh gets into an altogether different 'avtar' with the title song <strong><em>'Kalank'</em></strong>. This one only adds further class to this album that keeps the fire igniting with every passing number. A heartfelt number with sadness all over it, <em>'Kalank'</em> has brilliant lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya that stay with you long after it has been heard first. Moreover, Arijit's rendition is truly the kind that is for a heart which is in pain and that's something which turns out to be the hallmark of the song. There is a duet version too with Shilpa Rao but it's the solo version that stays. Shreya Ghoshal is back as the voice of Madhuri Dixit and she sings <strong><em>'Tabaah Ho Gaye'</em></strong> in a manner that only she can. In fact Pritam too composes this one in a style that is reminiscent of the kind of music that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has in his own films. Musically, this one is on the same lines as <em>'Maar Daala'</em> [<em>Devdas</em>] though this one does manage to bring in its own individuality as well, hence lending a good impression. There is certain sadness and pain in Shreya's voice which compliments the situation that Madhuri Dixit finds herself in the film, and that works. <strong><em>'Aira Gaira'</em></strong> comes next a couple of times and this is the much talked about song-n-dance appearance of Kriti Sanon. Sung by Antara Mitra, this one actually reminds one of the kind of songs that Rekha Bhardwaj has sung in quite a few films. A high on energy number, this one actually reaches its crescendo when Javed Ali and Tushar Joshi pair up to provide vocals for Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur in the film. In a style that has its base in the 40s and the 50s, this one needed more time for promotion in order to reach out to the audiences much quicker. The album concludes with Jonita Gandhi going solo for <strong><em>'Rajvaadi Odhni'</em></strong>. This one too has its base in Sanjay Leela Bhansali style of music and again it is surprising that the song wasn't promoted much in advance. A song which actually kick-starts the film and introduces Alia Bhatt to the audience, this one is picturised as well as placed well in the film. A catchy number that has the feet tapping. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Pritam comes up with a very good soundtrack for <em>Kalank</em> and is helped a great deal by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya. Moreover, there is a consistency of sound right through half a dozen odd songs that feature in the soundtrack. Even though the film is set in the 40s and the music compliments that era as well, even today's audience can well be entertained. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘First Class’</em>, <em>‘Kalank’</em>, <em>‘Tabaah Ho Gaye’</em>, <em>‘Rajvaadi Odhni’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> When a film is set as a high school musical, expectations are obviously there for a youthful and vibrant score in the offering. Vishal-Shekhar return from Student of the Year to the second instalment of the franchise and this time around they have multiple lyricists for company. Considering the fact that the mantle of direction has moved on from Karan Johar to Punit Malhotra, one waits to see how the soundtrack turns out to be. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973392" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mumbai-Dilli-Di-Kudiyaan-Student-Of-The-Year-2-Tiger-Shroff-Tara-Sutaria-Ananya-Pandey.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is the recreated version of 70s chartbuster <em>'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'</em> which has been presented as <strong><em>'The Jawaani Song'</em></strong>. While the combo of R.D. Burman, Anand Bakshi and Kishore Kumar had created magic back then, the new team of Vishal-Shekhar, Anvita Dutt and Vishal Dadlani-Payal Dev chip in well to amalgamate the original with the new version. This one is an experiment on the same lines as Vishal-Shekhar's <em>'Bachna Ae Haseeno'</em> where both new as well as old world had integrated quite seamlessly. The one that actually turns out to be the best song of the album though is <strong><em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em></strong>. Vishal Dadlani chips in with his rap portion for this fun number that has an intoxicating hook is pretty much on the lines of several chartbusters that Vishal-Shekhar had delivered around a decade ago. Dev Negi and Payal Dev do well behind the mike for this fun celebration number written by vayu that has the trio of Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey come together on screen and dance away to glory. A chartbuster track. Yet again, it's the hook that makes an instant impact, what with Vishal-Shekhar getting the youthful feel right again. It is always so delightful to hear Shekhar Ravjiani's voice, especially considering the fact that the composer sings quite rarely. He does quite well though in Kumaar written <strong><em>'The Hook Up Song'</em></strong> which has Alia Bhatt making a special appearance alongside Tiger Shroff. Neha Kakkar is the singing partner of Shekhar here and together they ensure that the album so far has three out of three songs working quite well. Sanam Puri, who had shot to fame with <em>'Dhat Tere Ki' </em>In Punit Malhotra's <em>Gori Tere Pyaar Mein</em> is back for the filmmaker's <em>Student of the Year 2</em>. The song he renders this time around is <strong><em>'Fakira'</em></strong> which has Neeti Mohan giving him company behind the mike. A 'desi' number with a hint of 'sufi' to it, this one written by Anvita Dutt is the kind that needs time to grow and hence should be unveiled pronto if it has to reach out to the audience. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Main Bhi Nahin Soya'</em></strong> and yet again it is Anvita Dutt who is the lyricist here. A Punjabi-Hindi track by Arijit Singh, this one is a sad number and surprisingly doesn't quite fetch your attention even after repeated hearing. Agreed that the feel had to be sober right through its playing time considering its sad theme, one just hopes that it doesn't slow down the proceedings of the film's narrative, especially if it arrives in the second half. The album concludes on a high though with Vishal Dadlani and Payal Dev pairing up for Anvita Dutt written <strong><em>'Jat Ludhiyane Da'</em></strong>. On the same lines as <em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em> and <em>'The Hook Up Song'</em> when it comes to the fun youthful quotient, this one may not go on to emerge as a huge chartbuster but still should do its job well to keep the film's proceedings entertaining. Moreover, it is sung quite well too, especially by Payal Dev who has bagged good opportunity to feature in as many as three songs and has made a good impression each time around. <strong>OVERALL</strong> One expected the music of <em>Student of the Year 2</em> to be largely fun and youthful, and in that aspect the soundtrack does well. There are half a dozen songs in there and while a couple of these are set to be chartbusters, another couple is set to grow in days to come. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan’</em>, <em>‘The Jawaani Song’</em>, <em>‘The Hook Up Song’</em>

Shah Rukh Khan’s last film, Zero, released in December 2018 after which he went on a long sabbatical. He has been reading scripts and even shortlisted a few of them. Meanwhile, the names of a lot of filmmakers did the rounds with whom the superstar was supposedly working with. However, of late, it has come to light that SRK is working with blockbuster filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani in his next directorial flick. Recently, while answering a fan question, he also let out a strong hint that he has indeed given his nod to Rajkumar Hirani’s flick. And naturally, it led to a lot of excitement among fans.

While not much is known about the film and its subject, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that for this venture, Rajkumar Hirani and his frequent collaborator writer Abhijat Joshi have been joined by Kanika Dhillon. She has become quite well known of late thanks to her work in films like Manmarziyaan (2018), Kedarnath (2018), Judgmentall Hai Kya (2019) and the web film Guilty (2020). Interestingly, in the beginning of her career, she had extensively worked with SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment. She worked as an assistant director on SRK’s 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om. She wrote the screenplay of Ra.One (2011) and additional screenplay of Always Kabhi Kabhi (2011). Rajkumar Hirani’s next hence marks Kanika’s reunion with Shah Rukh and Red Chillies Entertainment after almost 9 years.

A source close to the project says, “Kanika Dhillon has come on-board and she along with Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi are busy scripting the film. Kanika is mainly scripting while Rajkumar and Abhijat are helping her with inputs. They are hoping to finish in a month or two. The film was to go on floors in August but due to the lockdown, it seems that the shoot will be pushed ahead.”

Rajkumar Hirani’s last film, Sanju, released in 2018 and was based on the controversial life of actor Sanjay Dutt. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, this flick emerged as the biggest hit of that year, earning Rs. 342.53 crores. Hirani, in fact, holds the envious record of not giving a single flop as a director. The source assures, “His film with Shah Rukh Khan too seems to be shaping up well, at the writing stage. And Rajkumar-Abhijat-Kanika collaboration has added a lot to the script and it’ll be something to watch out for.”

Chaturnath is a man who has a strong desire to help the poor and deprived people get justice from the legal system. To achieve this, he becomes a fake lawyer. Whether his good intentions justify the wrong means he employs, forms the crux of the story.

Priyanka, who is vocal about her ideas on issues pertaining to women's health, says being an entertainer gives her a platform to spread awareness about social causes.

 





Priyanka Chopra is a veteran Actress.

Have a Good Experience.





Priyanka Chopra says women have the superpower to balance career with family and it is high time men understood that their aspirations are equally important.

 

The 35-year-old actor, who entered the film industry soon after winning the Miss World title at the age of 18, credits her parents, especially her father, for understanding her dreams and helping her achieve them.

 

1. "I came from a family where everyone questioned my decision to become an actor.
There was a big debate in my house. But my parents, especially my father said, 'I am standing by her in whatever she wants to do.


 

2. I will make sure nothing wrong happens to her.' He kept his promise. He was with me always till I was 23. He used to be my manager. I had the support of my father," Priyanka told in an interview.


 

3. "The men in the world need to understand that as soon as you empower a woman, as soon as you give her the opportunity to be her best, she can handle both family and career.
I feel boys can't tackle both. Look at the medals at Commonwealth Games, most of

them have been won by women because they had this opportunity," she says.


 

4. The actor believes society needs to be more open towards the idea of women being ambitious. People have still not warmed up to the idea of a career-oriented woman.

India's fuel consumption fell 45.8 per cent to 9.929 million tonnes in April, down from 18.32 million tonnes fuel consumed in the same month a year back
