In an industry where musical inspiration travels faster than copyright claims, Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) has once again made headlines. This time, not for a new chartbuster, but for publicly alleging that his viral hit Oo Antava  from Pushpa: The Rise  has been copied by a Western artist. At a recent fan event, DSP claimed that an “English” singer had lifted his composition. Though he didn’t specify the name, online speculation quickly pointed toward Turkish pop singer Atiye  and her 2024 single Anlayana , which shares unmistakable rhythmic and melodic similarities with Oo Antava . The composer didn’t rule out legal action and seemed both proud and perturbed by the global reach of his song. But here's where it gets complicated: is this a genuine case of plagiarism—or a classic case of selective outrage? A Short Memory: DSP’s Own Borrowing Habits This isn’t the first time DSP has been caught in a swirl of plagiarism debates. Over the years, many of his songs have drawn inspiration—some would say lifted elements—from Latin pop, Arabic music, Balkan folk, and even Western EDM. His musical catalogue is rich, no doubt, but originality has often taken a back seat to remix culture and marketable fusion. Oo Antava  itself was hailed more for its bold visual storytelling than for musical innovation. The composition leaned heavily on globalized sounds—club beats, minor key seduction, layered with regional lyrics and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s magnetic screen presence. So when DSP now claims that the West has stolen from him, it raises an uncomfortable but important question: where does inspiration end and imitation begin? And more critically—why does DSP draw the line only when he  is the one being “copied”? Double Standards in the Industry What DSP is doing isn’t unusual—many Indian composers have walked the same path. Borrow globally, repackage locally, and defend your “creativity” until the tables turn. When the West borrows from India, it’s “theft.” But when Indian artists borrow from the West, it’s “homage” or “global influence.” This double standard reveals a deeper issue within the industry: an unwillingness to admit that musical cross-pollination is a two-way street. If we want Indian music to be respected globally, the industry must also start respecting originality at home—and acknowledging when it plays fast and loose with source material. What Happens Now? If DSP pursues legal action, he may very well be within his rights—if the similarities are legally substantial. But the bigger conversation isn’t about one track; it’s about how the Indian music scene treats ownership, influence, and fairness. There’s no doubt DSP is talented. But this moment demands more than defensiveness—it demands introspection. Because in the global music arena, credibility isn’t just built on hit numbers; it’s built on consistency, transparency, and owning your own game.

In a move that’s equal parts strategic and star-powered, MR.DIY , India’s fastest-growing home improvement and lifestyle retail brand, has announced acclaimed Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao  as its official brand ambassador. The announcement comes hand-in-hand with a quirky, pan-India campaign built on the slogan:  “Milega Kya, Mat Pooch – MR.DIY Has SABKUCH.”  And yes, it’s exactly as fun—and smart—as it sounds.  From Shelves to Screens: MR.DIY 's Everyday Wonderland For the uninitiated, MR.DIY isn’t just another lifestyle store. It’s a 15,000+ SKU  powerhouse spread across 10 essential categories , covering everything from hardware to homeware, toys to tech accessories—all under one roof. Operating in over 110 cities  across India and growing rapidly, the brand has positioned itself not just as a retailer, but as a discovery space. It’s the place you walk into for one thing and leave with five, each useful, surprising, and often shockingly affordable (some items priced as low as ₹19). In short, it’s a world built for the modern Indian consumer—value-driven, spontaneous, and practical.  The Campaign: Humor Meets Daily Hustle The newly launched campaign features Rajkummar Rao as a witty, on-ground reporter who stumbles into a MR.DIY store and finds himself overwhelmed by its vast offerings. He’s confused, surprised, even delighted. That’s the emotion MR.DIY is banking on: “Don’t ask what you’ll find. Just walk in.” The content is laced with gentle satire, the kind that nudges you to look at your own lifestyle and realize—wait, maybe I do  need that quirky screwdriver set or that minimalist wall clock. Through Rao’s persona, the campaign delivers relatability without condescension.  Why Rajkummar Rao? Because India Relates to Him According to MR.DIY ’s brand leadership, the decision to bring on Rajkummar Rao was rooted in more than celebrity clout. “He embodies the essence of our brand—genuine, versatile, and deeply connected with the everyday Indian,” they said in a statement. And they’re not wrong. Rao’s cinematic journey has mirrored the aspirations of millions—from small-town realism to urban complexity, always with grace and grit. He is the kind of celebrity who doesn’t live in ivory towers. Instead, he walks the aisles we all walk, asks the same questions, and laughs at the same price tags.  Rajkummar Rao’s Take: “It’s a Wonderland.” In his own words, Rao called MR.DIY “a wonderland of unexpected delights.”  His enthusiasm doesn’t feel paid-for—it feels like genuine amusement at a store where you go in for a light bulb and come out with yoga mats, face towels, mini tool kits, a wall hook shaped like a panda, and maybe a gift bag for your aunt’s birthday.  The Bigger Picture: India’s Retail Revolution This collaboration isn’t just about marketing. It reflects the broader shift in Indian consumer behavior: an increased appreciation for smart spending, multi-functionality, and everyday joy . Brands like MR.DIY are winning because they don’t just sell products—they sell the experience of discovery , something e-commerce often fails to replicate. With this campaign and Rao at the helm, MR.DIY isn’t just selling stuff. It’s building a culture of casual, conscious consumption.

On his 40th birthday, Ranveer Singh didn’t just celebrate with cake—he dropped a cinematic bomb.  The teaser for Dhurandhar , Aditya Dhar’s gritty new action thriller, was unveiled on July 6 as a special birthday treat for fans. And what a gift it was. In the first glimpse of the film, Singh emerges bloodied, long-haired, and furious, delivering the line “Ghayal hoon, isiliye ghatak hoon”  with bone-chilling resolve. It's a sharp turn from his more flamboyant roles, signaling a deep dive into intensity, pain, and revenge. The teaser doesn't just tease—it sears. Set against the political and espionage-laced backdrop of the 1970s-80s , with parts extending into the present day, Dhurandhar  promises to be a high-stakes thriller “inspired by true events.” Directed by Uri: The Surgical Strike ’s Aditya Dhar, the film combines gritty realism with adrenaline-pumping action—hand-to-hand combat, explosions, and covert missions fill the frame. Supporting Singh is a stellar ensemble: Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal , and Sara Arjun , who plays the female lead. While the teaser only offers glimpses of their roles, the cast hints at layered character dynamics and serious screen presence. The Sara-Ranveer pairing has raised eyebrows due to a notable age gap, but fans are waiting to see how their on-screen equation plays out. What truly stands out is the mood of the teaser. It doesn’t reveal the full plot but focuses on building a world drenched in conflict, duty, and vengeance. Dhar’s sharp directorial voice is evident—every frame is loaded with tension, and every silence feels intentional. Currently 75% complete and set to hit theatres on December 5, 2025 , Dhurandhar  is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year. For Ranveer Singh, it could mark a return to the raw, grounded performances that first put him on the map—and for fans, it’s already an unforgettable birthday surprise. Whether you're here for the action, the story, or Ranveer's powerful transformation, “Dhurandhar” is one storm you’ll want to watch brewing.

I am a firm believer that the songs speak more than the dialogues, as i have a good ear for music it took me a year to create the music with a lot of patience.” She added, “Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a love story that feels like a hug, so it was important to get the music right. For me, music was never an afterthought; I have always considered it to be an emotional anchor for this film. After carefully placing each song at its right place, I only hope to take the viewers deep into the characters’ emotional arcs.

In the bustling ecosystem of India’s digital storytelling, few platforms have carved as distinct a space as Team Black Films . Known for their bold short films that dig into the underbelly of society—exploring themes like gender bias, toxic masculinity, class divide, and family dynamics—they’ve become a trusted space for raw narratives told simply, effectively, and with soul. And within that growing cinematic universe, one face has quietly but consistently stood out: Isha . The Face You Remember, Even If You Don’t Yet Know the Name Isha isn’t a headline-chaser. She’s not the loudest voice in a frame. But that’s precisely why she works. Across a range of shorts— “Gender Equality,” “Badtameezi,” “Bachpan,” and “Lover Ki Beizzati” —Isha brings a grounded, lived-in authenticity to characters that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether she’s playing a supportive girlfriend, a frustrated daughter-in-law, or a girl caught in the crossfire of society’s double standards, she does something few manage: she makes you feel  without forcing you to. She is not just an actor; she is a presence. And in a space as fast-paced and sometimes superficial as online cinema, that’s rare currency. Craft Rooted in Empathy What distinguishes Isha is the emotional intelligence she brings to the screen. Her performances aren't about drama or theatrics — they’re about truth . Watch her expression shift in “Gender Equality” as the male protagonist launches into a tone-deaf rant. She doesn’t speak, but the flicker in her eyes says enough. In “Badtameezi,” she turns a moment of disrespect into a beat of quiet revolt—not with shouting, but with subtle resistance. This control over silence, expression, and nuance is not accidental. It’s the mark of someone who understands character from the inside out. It’s the kind of acting that doesn’t audition for applause—it earns respect. Team Black Films’ Secret Weapon? Team Black Films is known for nurturing raw, believable talent. Their work is not about star power but about story power . And Isha has become a key part of that equation. She fits into their ensemble style the way certain actors become synonymous with specific studios—think Saoirse Ronan and Greta Gerwig, or even Ratna Pathak Shah in parallel Indian cinema. Her performances often function as the moral anchor of the narrative. In shorts where male characters stumble, spiral, or self-destruct, Isha often represents the voice of clarity, patience, or consequence. She’s not there to fix them—but she often reflects what they’ve failed to see. The Road Ahead: From Shorts to Spotlight While her screen time in each short may vary, the consistency of her work signals that Isha is more than a supporting actor —she’s a building block in Team Black Films’ larger mission to tell stories that matter. What’s next for her? It’s not a stretch to imagine: Leading roles in longer narratives : OTT platforms like Amazon MiniTV and Pocket Aces are looking for exactly this kind of talent—relatable, expressive, and real. Socially-driven brand partnerships : With her on-screen ethics aligning with causes like gender equality and mental health, she’s a natural fit for progressive campaigns. Crossover to indie cinema : As India’s independent film wave grows, actors like Isha—unfiltered and earnest—are poised to become breakout names. In an era of scrolling and skipping, it’s easy for actors to blur into each other. But Isha resists forgettability . She may not be the most viral. She may not do influencer gimmicks. But when she’s on-screen, you lean in. And when the short ends, you remember how she made you feel. That, in the end, is what art is about. Team Black Films has found a gem—and if the audience is paying attention, they’ll see that Isha is just getting started . Would you like this turned into a LinkedIn or Instagram caption format next? Or should I prep a press-kit-style bio for her too?

Anurag Basu’s Metro… In Dino  is less a sequel and more a spiritual remix of Life in a... Metro   not a continuation of the same stories, but of the same soul. Think of it as that reunion concert where the band shows up older, more confident, but also weighed down by the expectations of their last breakout gig. It’s ambitious. Sometimes beautiful. Sometimes bloated. At 159 minutes, it’s the kind of film that tries to be a little bit of everything anthology, rom-com, modern-day musical, city symphony and ends up being both tender and tired. You feel  the Basu-Pritam DNA throughout — live bands in public spaces, moments of silence louder than monologues, heartbreak that looks like poetry and chaos that feels like theatre. The film moves like a vibe: not always fast, not always focused, but somehow still flowing. There’s love. Lots of it. The young, messy kind. The jaded, suburban kind. The married-but-not-together kind. The “I could’ve been someone else if you had just asked” kind. And woven into it all is that quiet, aching question we rarely ask out loud: Are we just performing life the way we’ve seen it done before? The ensemble cast is loaded, and thankfully, they mostly commit to Basu’s heightened-reality pitch. Sara Ali Khan plays loud, but occasionally lands soft. Ali Fazal brings his inner sadboi. Aditya Roy Kapur stays in his dependable “emotionally unavailable but sexy” zone. But it’s Konkona Sen Sharma no surprises who lifts the whole tone with a single look, like she’s acting in a better movie nested inside this one. Now here’s the truth. The first half charms. The second half… doesn’t. What starts off feeling clever and fresh slowly begins to loop, as if the film knows what it wants to say but not how to finish saying it. You’re left watching moments some brilliant, some just... there. And the music? It’s good. But not immortal. The Metro (2007)  soundtrack was a moment . This one, while pleasant and contextually effective, doesn’t hit that standalone repeat-worthy level. It’s more montage fuel than memory-maker. What Metro… In Dino  does do well is this: every once in a while, it hits that note. That one  note that cuts through all the noise and reminds you why we show up to the movies for that electric riff under an emotional slap, or that silent glance that says too much, or a moment of someone choosing discomfort over quiet resignation. And when that happens, you sit up. You feel. You remember. In the end, this isn’t a film about cities or metros. It’s about the people moving through them restless, unresolved, and relentlessly hopeful. Even if it doesn’t all come together, there’s something kind of brave in that. Verdict:  Watch it if you’re patient with films that meander, but reward. Don’t watch it expecting clean arcs or TikTok-sized catharsis. Watch it for the vibe. And maybe — just maybe for that one fleeting moment where the story catches up to the song.
