Jazz City review: Historical drama about the birth of Bangladesh is painfully indulgent and out of tune

Jazz City series review Cast: Arifin Shuvoo, Sauraseni Maitra, Shantanu Ghatak, Aniruddha Gupta, Sayandeep Sen, Shreya Bhattacharya, Shataf Figar Creator: Soumik Sen Where to watch: SonyLiv Star rating: ★★ Sometimes ambition is not enough. Even good intent is not enough to salvage a story that does not know its own pulse. Such is the case with the new SonyLiv series Jazz City. From the large, expansive frames to the many little paths this story takes to navigate a turbulent time of national importance, I see how much has gone into making the show. But that does not help its case, or for creator Soumik Sen, as the show remains inert despite its full-blown capacity, incurious despite all the concoction of different factors, and mostly, out of depth even with so much space to fill. Jazz City holds promise, but it seems like that is everything it can hold after all. Arifin Shuvoo plays Jimmy Roy in Jazz City. The premise Spread across 10 hour-long episodes, Jazz City starts off with little force. I was waiting …

The Beautiful Tune That Inspired 5 Composers To Create 10 Unforgettable Songs

Published by Parlour News

A melody first composed by legendary music director SD Burman for the 1951 film Naujawan went on to inspire a remarkable chain of songs across decades of Hindi cinema, with several prominent composers reworking the tune in different styles. The original song, “Thandi Hawaayein Lehra Ke Aayein”, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and written by Sahir Ludhianvi, became one of the most memorable musical pieces of its time. Directed by Mahesh Kaul, Naujawan featured Premnath and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles. Notably, as many as 11 songs in the film were composed on variations of the same melodic structure. (News18 Hindi) The influence of the tune extended well beyond the original film. Composer Roshan adapted the melody for the 1954 film Chandni Chowk, directed by BR Chopra and starring Meena Kumari. The song “Tera Dil Kahan Hai, Sab Kuch Yahan Hai”, sung by Asha Bhosle, incorporated noticeable elements of Burman’s original composition, particularly in its opening notes. (News18 Hindi) The tune resurfaced again in the 1964 film Aap Ki Parchhaiyan, directed by Mohan Kumar with …

No India-Pakistan contest in T20 World Cup could cause losses to the tune of USD 250 million | Cricket News

3 min readFeb 3, 2026 12:40 AM IST An India-Pakistan fixture in an ICC event generates revenue to the tune of a staggering “USD 250 million (over Rs 2200 crore)”, as per some estimates and the absence of the cash-cow fixture from the upcoming T20 World Cup is certain to cause heavy losses to all stakeholders. Such is the pull of the contest between the arch-rivals, who only play in multi team competitions due to the tense relations between the two countries, that the ICC places them in the same pool in every world event. On Sunday, the Pakistan government announced its team’s boycott of the marquee clash in Colombo on February 15. If Pakistan remain adamant, they would risk losing millions in revenues and a no-show would cause significant financial damage to the ICC coffers and India media rights holder JioStar which is already trying to renegotiate a USD 3 billion deal with the world body. The host broadcaster could incur advertisement revenue losses in the range of Rs 200 crore to Rs 250 …

In the summer of 1997, India was on the brink of celebrating her 50th Independence Day and as one would expect, Bollywood was ready to celebrate in full gusto. 29 years ago, the social and political climate of the country, and even the world, was starkly different as a war film was not supposed to be a call for war. It focused heavily on the emotional turmoil of the soldiers who were making sacrifices for the country. The release of JP Dutta’s Border and Subhash Ghai’s Pardes within a span of a few months was to re-invigorate the feeling of patriotism and it proved to be a good bet for the producers. Border, which was based on the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, focused on 120 soldiers who defended their post against thousands of Pakistani soldiers who came in with a barrage of tanks. The film was loved by the masses and while it might not get the same kind of reception today, what has proved to stand the test of time …

After returning home, their son Aaryamann Sethi’s fiance Yogita Bihani trolled him for having a comfortable life since childhood and made him do basic house chores. In their latest YouTube vlog, Archana and Parmeet also disagreed over who among them manages home better. While the DDLJ actor claimed that Archana didn’t do household chores in the last 35 years, she replied with witty comebacks. The video started with Yogita introducing their ‘all girls’ team and said Aaryamann needs some training before moving into their new house. When he was about to make a round chapati for his to-be bride, their staff supported the content creator-musician. While one said that he will make chapatis for them in the future, the other house help questioned Yogita about her need for roti when she only eats pasta. Aary made a little chapati, after cutting it using a lid and kept saying, ‘Work smarter, not harder’. When he went to show it to his …
