‘Ye Dunya’ Coke Studio 14 shares a metal-rap infused message
Ye Dunya by Coke Studio 14, a rap-metal-infused message!
Ye Dunya, the latest single from Coke Studio, is a banger with a thought-provoking message, featuring Karakoram, Talha Anjum, and Faris Shafi.
It discusses life’s unpredictability, delving into man’s various hidden anxieties while highlighting and addressing the fear of abandonment in particular. It features Khattak in his element, with his timbre, fury, and youthful charm, while Anjum contributes his wisdom and excellent writing. Shafi isn’t far behind either, although we had hoped for more from his performance. The three acts, on the other hand, form a powerful ensemble.
What is better than a nu-metal bandage
To provide the ‘huge sound’ required to ‘wrestle with the enormous message’ sounds from three electric guitars, bass, two synths, a frenzied strings section, and percussions have been piled on top of each other in classic rock fashion.
Adnan Dhool, Anjum, Shafi, and Xulfi collaborated on Ye Dunya. The performers have been placed in a construction zone by Art Director Harris Khatri.
The tempest of emotions!
The nu-metal song, according to Coke Studio, stirs up a tempest of emotions as the two groups realize each other’s challenges. Anjum remains philosophical, Faris is brutally genuine. Sherry Khattak’s primal scream is a confirmation that he is not alone which feels like a ‘therapy session.’
In a world built on arrogance, what could be more rebellious and heavy metal than to see anguish give way to vulnerability? It continues to do so.
Maintaining the legacy of Coke Studio 14
We miss Khattak’s raw, unprocessed growls at times, and Shafi’s filtered, almost censored attempts at expressing himself are also amusing at times. So, despite the song being the least commercial of this season’s offerings so far, the framework, as well as the musical transitions, are appealing.

Kangana Ranaut calls Gehraiyaan movie ‘trash’
Gehraiyaan movie
Gehraiyaan, a film starring Deepika Padukone and launched on Amazon Prime on February 11, has received mixed reviews since its premiere. Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Dhairya Karwa, Naseeruddin Shah, and Rajat Kapoor also star in the film.
Kangana Ranaut the critique of Bollywood!
Kangana Ranaut, a Bollywood actress, has now revealed her severe critique of the film, with little remorse for her co-stars. She also dubbed the Shakun Batra-directed film “crap” in a mysterious Instagram story post. In her most recent diatribe, the actress claims that the picture uses skin show, pornography’ to hide its flaws.
Kangana Ranaut takes a dig at Gehraiyaan movie
“I am also a millennial but I identify with and understand this kind of romance. In the name of millennial, new age, urban films, don’t sell trash please.” “Bad movies are bad movies no amount of skin show or pornography can save it. It’s a basic fact, koi gehraiyaan wali baat nahi hai.” says the narrator.
Kangana tweeted a short clip of a song from Himalay Ki God Mein alongside the unfair verdict against a grey film designed to express some hard issues (1965). Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha, and Shashikala starred in the film, which featured a love triangle similar to Gehraiyaan.

The Thailaivii actor recently slammed a journalist who asked her for a remark on the controversy surrounding a social media influencer’s comments about Deepika and Ananya’s outfits at the press launch for her OTT reality show Lock Upp.
In response, Kangana declared she would not promote Padukone’s film, according to The Indian Express. “Look, I’m here to defend people who can’t defend themselves,” she had added curtly. Alright? She has the privilege and the forum to defend herself, and I am unable to promote her film here. Please have a seat!”
Ekta Kapoor’s next show, Lock Upp, will be hosted by Ranaut, who was last seen in Thalaivii. Tejas and Dhaakad are also in her kitty.

Friday Flix Series of the Week: Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein
What is the last time you watched a good drama with a good love triangle narrative? We’re not talking about a situation where someone has to select between two persons who are both excellent. We’re talking about someone who is trying to escape a powerful person who is obsessed with him while maintaining a loving relationship. This is the struggle at the heart of a new Indian Netflix drama Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein.
Cast Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein
The cast includes Mirzapur famed Shweta Tripathi along with Anchal Singh and Arunodhay Singh in lead roles. Furthermore, the cast includes Surya Sharma, Saurabh Shukla, Bijendra Kala, Kalp Shah, and Tahir Raj Bhasin.
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein story
The story starts with Vikrant (Tahir Raj Bhasin) who, from his childhood has been tormented by a woman named Pruva (Tahir Raj Bhasin). She is the daughter of Akhiraj Aswathi (Saurabh Shukla), a powerful local politician; Vikrant’s father works for him and worships the ground on which he walks. Vikrant suffered from bodily discomfort every time she went to the same school as her as a child. He declined her request to be her friend. She eventually moves away.
The moving on
Vikrant went on with his life, enrolling in engineering school and meeting Shikha (Saurabh Shukla). He’s been sitting around his family’s house since graduation, and his father is getting bored of it. He says he’s waiting for a job offer letter from a plant outside of town; he knows it’s a good one, and he’s looking forward to starting a new life with Shikha there.
The haunted dream returns
Vikrant’s father, on the other hand, insists on an interview with Akhiraj. He notices a lovely woman coming out of an indoor pool on his approach to the politician’s office. Pruva is back, he realizes right away. She hasn’t forgotten about Vikrant; in fact, she keeps track of how long they’ve been separated down to the day. Vikrant, who wants to relocate and start over, bombs the interview until Akhiraj receives a call from his daughter, who offers him a job at her Zumba studio. His father insists that he take the job because the pay is significantly higher than what he would make at the factory.
Some, or more thriller
His first mission is to take Purva to a pier where the entire class used to go while they were in school. There’s no reason he’s out there – she has a driver who knows the region — but he can see Purva is just as enamored with him as she was in elementary school when she turns to face him. Shikha is understandably enraged when she learns of what happened, and Vikrant’s pal Golden (Avant V. Joshi) does nothing to assuage her fears.
SPOILERS AHEAD
To safeguard his relationship above all things, Vikrant decides to risk Akhiraj’s — and his father’s — wrath by telling the politician he doesn’t want the position. When he gets to the office, though, he discovers something he shouldn’t have seen: Akhiraj inadvertently killing a man by hitting him. Vikrant is recruited by Akhiraj’s henchmen to assist them in dismantling and disposing of the body.
Final verdict
It takes too long to get to Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, and the route isn’t even remotely engaging or intriguing. Sengupta appears to have taken a feature-length story and stretched it to fit an eight-part first season (that ends on a cliffhanger). It’s also overly plot-driven, which gets old after a while. If a direct route from point A to point B is possible, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein will take three detours along the way. Everything is overcomplicated unnecessarily. It wants to put its characters in awkward circumstances, but it uses inelegant methods to do so. It’s as if Sengupta writes himself into a position and then decides to give up rather than discover a better way out.

Ali Sethi and Shae Gill channels a bohemian vibe in Coke Studio’s new song ‘Pasoori’
Ali Sethi and Shae Gill perform Pasoori on Coke Studio
Pasoori, the latest offering from Coke Studio 14, which features Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, has won a lot of hearts since its debut, thanks to its upbeat sound and colorful music video.
Pasoori is fusion at its finest, with musical influences ranging from reggaeton to the heartfelt sounds of the rubab. Since the premiere of the music video on Monday evening, the song has received largely positive reviews. With lyrics about letting go of worries and loving yourself for who you are.
The idea behind Pasoori
Sethi wrote ‘Pasoori’ at a time when local performers were prohibited from working beyond the border, according to Coke Studio. On top of that, the song’s lyrics were “motivated by the impulse to celebrate artistic self-expression” and turn angst into creativity. One of the lines was inspired by a remark Sethi observed on the back of a truck.
Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s Pasoori
A classical dance performance by the beautiful Sheema Kirmani in the video elevates the groovy track’s introduction, with Hashim Ali’s bohemian set combining nicely with the song’s atmosphere. Furthermore, Hashim Ali constructed the set for the music video with the goal of creating a social space where artists may celebrate humanity “not just via race, but also through difference in emotion, style, and spirituality.”
The perfect blend of voices
Ali and Shae’s voices harmonize well, and the parts of the song where the two harmonize are a fantastic example of their vocal compatibility. According to the official press release, Ali wrote the song out of irritation when Pakistani singers were denied permission to perform in India.
Twitter goes frenzy
Not just that, Twitter goes crazy over how beautifully this song transcends. The hashtag of Ali Sethi is on Twitter trends along with Coke Studio season 14. People are loving the vibe.

A tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, the nightingale of India!
The Nightingale of India has fallen silent!
Lata Mangeshkar, a cultural icon in India. A vocalist who defined music and melody for generations across South Asia, has died at the age of 92. Mangeshkar was admitted to the hospital on January 11 after contracting COVID-19. She died of “multi-organ failure” on Sunday at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital, according to Dr. Pratit Samdani.
Lata Mangeshkar a ruler of Bollywood music
The “Nightingale” Mangeshkar dominated Bollywood music for more than half a century with her younger sister Asha Bhonsle, a celebrity in her own right, and is widely regarded as the Indian film industry’s greatest-ever playback vocalist.
Mangeshkar was born on September 28, 1929, in Maharashtra, and began singing with her father, Deenanath, who was also a professional singer, at religious events. She recorded her first song for a Bollywood film when she was 13 years old, in 1942.
She became a star with enormous popular appeal after moving to Mumbai, India’s film capital, dazzling audiences with her smooth, crisp voice and immortalizing Hindi music for decades to come.
A blessed voice from God!
In addition to releasing devotional and classical CDs, Mangeshkar sang over 5,000 songs in over 1,000 Bollywood and regional language films. Her discography included about 27,000 songs in a variety of languages, including English, Russian, Dutch, and Swahili.
She previously told an interviewer, “My voice is a gift from God.”
“I became a mother when I sang a lullaby, and a lover when I sang a romantic song.”
In addition to that her songs, which were usually full of emotion, were mostly melancholy and dealt with unrequited love, but some also sung of national pride.
She also sang for Madhubala and Meena Kumari, two of Bollywood’s first superstars, and later went on to give voice to new divas like Priyanka Chopra.
Working with crème de-la-crème of Bollywood
Mangeshkar collaborated with practically all of India’s great music directors during the course of her career, including Madan Mohan, Naushad, SD Burman, RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and AR Rahman, selling tens of millions of recordings.

Feroze Khan glorifies violence in the name of love in Aye Musht-e-Khaak
Everything that went wrong in Aye Musht-e-Khaak
The drama industry has been chastised before for pushing risky stories. And you’d think that by now, writers, producers, and actors would have gotten the message. Shockingly (but not so surprisingly), many people are still keen on making content that shows violence and normalizes it. Aye Musht-e-Khaak, a current drama starring Feroze Khan and Sana Khan. This drama is the latest example of how some stories still stick to glorify such heinous behavior in the name of love.
Musht-e-Khaak
Aye Musht-e-Khaak is a GEO TV drama directed by Aehsun Talish and written by Maha Malik. It is produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi. The drama is touted as “a compelling tale of the longstanding conflict between good and evil. As two very different persons with opposing perspectives to life come together and the way the path of justice overpowers the wrongdoings,” and it stars Feroze and Sana as the lead characters.

The good-evil couples of every Pakistani drama
Aye Musht-e-Khaak isn’t the first or last drama to pit good against evil in a married connection in the globe (or Pakistan), and it’s unlikely to be the last. Its issue isn’t with the formulaic premise; rather, it’s with the violence that has been masterfully woven into the story by the main character Mustajab (Feroze Khan).
In the words of Aye Musht-e-Khaak, Mustajab and Dua’s lives take an unexpected turn when Mustajab falls in love with Dua. Dua, on the other hand, refuses to feel the same way. Furthermore, Mustajab, who isn’t used to being refused, becomes agitated, and his fondness for Dua quickly becomes an obsession. While a sequence of falsehoods and deception continue, Mustajab forgets to discern between love and stubbornness.
The unnecessary portrayal of violence
Moreover, Mustajab has shown troubling levels of violence towards others in the 15 episodes that have aired thus far. Mustajab’s violent streak, according to the creators of Aye Musht-e-Khaak, is a manifestation of the precise moral defect. This depicts that Dua’s goodness will conquer over time. Thereby providing a lesson in what kind of person one should not be. The intention is to portray and correct a morally flawed character. On the other hand, is no excuse for depicting the extreme and disturbing forms of violence we’ve seen in several episodes thus far.

Drama Review: The last episode of Parizaad had us in tears!
Parizaad came to an end!
Some dramas have the potential to last for decades. And it’s all because of their fantastic tale, which is well displayed and beautifully acted and directed. Parizaad is one such drama that has come to a close, making the year 2022 worthwhile to remember. Your Tuesday nights will no longer be the same, as you will be left with a sense of elegance and feelings. Your enthusiasm for poetry may have grown as well. Not only that, but it may also have taught you the value of humility and honesty!
Parizaad – a character of brilliance
The only drama I started watching because one of my coworkers insisted, and I was unsure whether I should watch it because it already had 22 episodes, but once I did, I binge-watched it in two days. That was the only drama for which I had waited a week. Because it was more than simply a drama; it was a complete trip of the protagonist through many stages of his life with other people, but his face remained the same throughout.
Parizaad Dialogues
The foundation of any drama is dialogue. I know this because it captivates your attention to a new degree. I knew there was something exceptional about Parizaad the moment I started viewing it. The audience was intrigued by the way (Ahmed Ali Akbar) entered into the role of Parizaad and spoke.
“Shakal-o-Soorat insaan ka pehla taruuf hai, insaan ka dusra or asal taruuf uske alfaaz hain, apna dusra taruuf mukammal karlo. Itna mukammal ke loug tumhara pehla taruuf bhool jayen.”
Also Read: The last episode of ‘Parizaad’ is to be broadcast in theatres on Friday
Everything about Shayiri, from the dialogue delivery to the composure, was amazing. This is true in many ways for (Adeel Afzal), who played Ahmed Nasaaz in the drama and captured many hearts. Hashim Nadeem’s script was fresh and interesting from start to finish. The directing and attention to detail of Shehzad Kashmiri made this story relevant and interesting.
“Zindagi mohabbat ke bina kaati ja sakti hei maqsad ke bina nahi…”
Parizaad last episode review
The second to last episode made it evident that Parizaad was more concerned with finding a real purpose in life than with anything else. As a result, the previous episode continued in the same vein. The fact that Parizaad refused to believe in love until the very end, preferring to devote his life to his newfound desire, demonstrated that he still believed he was unworthy of love. Annie’s speech made complete sense; Parizaad will need time to erase what he had learned over the years from his experiences.

Final Verdict
The conclusion of Parizaad was poignant and satisfying. This is the kind of tale you don’t hear every day. The background score, in particular, gave the plot the ideal mood. Parizaad’s voyage had been difficult and sorrowful, but he appeared to be glad at the end! Which he deserved, and we’ll talk about his fandom tale. Because Annie will be there to encourage him, I believe he will believe in love!
Rating: 8.5/10
