Did u know? popular tune “Doob ja mere pyar me” actually traces back to Bhaskar Chandavarkar’s composition for classic play Ghashiram Kotwal (1972) Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy weren’t the first to use it. AnandRaj Anand had already slipped it into “Dil tote tote ho gaya” 👇 Watch all 🎶

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️ Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online. They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement

For another video, I pictured how the timeless Piya Tose from Guide (1965) would've been filmed in the 1960s. It's not just a cover; it's a time machine for your ears and eyes. Laugh at the cheesiness, but feel the poetry -

For the first Reworded song, I imagined the song "Lambi Judaai" as a poignant metaphor for the 1947 Partition. Hear it as a redemption anthem echoing the collective grief of divided nations -

The originals are the sun. I’m just arranging mirrors to catch the light differently. If it glows on you, mission accomplished.

As a lyrics-obsessed human (borderline collector of syllables), I chase that one line that feels like it found me. Dive into something I call "Reworded" where I reimagine iconic tracks, in a new lyrical light.

Back then, I did “lyrical covers” the long way. No fancy tech, just raw emotion and questionable mic quality. Now I use AI like a steady dolly that smooths the ride, doesn’t tell the story. The story still comes from the heart.

I’m one of those people who reads lyrics like love letters. The melody hooks you; the words keep you. Been that way since the SoundCloud days.

A breakthrough film isn't a perfect one; it's one that fundamentally shifts the conversation. #Dhadak2 is a breakthrough in adaptation, screenwriting, and directing. It uses the Trojan horse of a commercial love story to smuggle a radical conversation into the mainstream.

And a special mention for Saurabh Sachdeva as the villain Shankar. His menace lies in its terrifying ordinariness. He is frightening in the calmest way, a man who could be your neighbour. He's a terrifying symbol of the banal, everyday evil of casteism.

All of this is harnessed by Shazia Iqbal's unflinching directorial gaze. In her feature debut, she performs a miraculous balancing act: retaining an indie, observational sensibility within the high-stakes framework. Her direction is bold, balanced, and brutally honest.

This addition, not present in the original, brilliantly connects Neelesh's personal struggle to the broader national conversation on campus politics and institutional discrimination, making the film painfully, powerfully immediate.

The writers also weave in the contemporary zeitgeist by adding a new character arc: the student activist Shekhar, a figure widely seen as an echo of Rohith Vemula.

Vidhi's agency is proudly demonstrated. An ominously portentous quiz she devises for a prospective in-law becomes a subversive act of rebellion. Her climactic scream is a powerful moral stand that states what Neelesh and Vidhi are feeling is an uncomfortable public truth.
