I can see the comments. I can see how people are craving originality.” Also Read | AR Rahman calls out remixes being done without permission: ‘You can’t use a song 6 years later, say you are reimagining it’ Story continues below this ad Bollywood, ever quick to recycle, has not spared even AR Rahman’s own revered compositions.

(Photo Credit – YouTube) Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again has performed decently at the box office and has brought 63.56 crore worldwide on its opening day.

With brisk but nimble drag of the draw knife, Mudassir peels the wood from the spine of the bat. The powdery yellow dust whirls into his face, which he wipes with a soiled towel. “Yeh kalakari hain beta, time lag jayega.” he briefs about his handiwork to a restless youngster, one among the hundreds scattered across the Azad Maidan, the field of Mumbai’s cricketing dreams, waiting for their chance to bowl or bat. The curious youngster asks him about the bat specifications of Yashasvi Jaiswal. “Secret hain, mein nahin bataunga,” he says, chuckling. With the Mumbai Test match against New Zealand just three days away, there is an undulating buzz about the trifecta of Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and Sarfaraz Khan, who honed the game in the maidaan, the heartbeat of Mumbai cricket. The ticket kiosk on the edge of the maidaan is bustling. The jersey seller on the corner is already a busy man. Youngsters are imploring their parents to buy tickets, on the promise that they won’t bunk the class.. India might have lost …
