Meanwhile, Jitendra had recently got candid about his character and revealed how he took inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades. Talking to Pinkvilla, he stated, “When we were initially writing and listening to the story, we doubted that there were some similarities between the two characters.

He also reluctantly comes to his village just to live for a couple of days. So, we thought that people might highlight this. But we used it as an inspiration in the show. In the first season, the friend also refers to this, but we added those elements. But it never appeared as an obstacle. We used it well. So, it never crossed our minds that it is similar to Shah Rukh’s character. In fact, I love ‘Swades’, so I was really excited to do something in the same zone”

Aditi recently talked up about her famous Gajagamini walk in Heeramandi, admitting that she had no idea what it was until Bhansali described it to her. “I’d want to ask my dance teacher, Sanjay sir, what it is. Is it the Gajagamini Walk or the Swan Walk? I am not sure what stroll that is! I’ll say it was something Sanjay sir requested me to do. I followed what Sanjay sir told me. I know there is a Mayur chaal (peacock walk) in Kathak and a Gajagamini (walk of seduction), but I am sure it is in other dance genres, but I am not sure; I should look into it,” she told Zoom.

Aditi Rao Hydari plays Bibbojaan in the film Heeramandi.

For me, it’s a huge blessing and a blessing from him… With Bibbojaan and Heeramandi, I felt I have got more time with a person that I respect and love. I got to live a full life. I just got to be around a genius and absorb. And you know one, two, or three times are not enough with directors like Sanjay. It’s addictive, you want to keep working with him… Whatever role he calls me for, I know it will be something special.”

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is currently streaming on Netflix.

Turbo Movie Review: In this mindful corporate action film, Mammootty and Raj B Shetty deliver an amazing performance.

Once more, Mammootty is scheduled to appear on screen, but this time around it’s for the blockbuster action movie Turbo. Check out Pinkvilla’s review of the movie to determine if it’s worth seeing!

  • Name: Turbo

  • Rating: 3.5

Mammootty is scheduled to make another big-screen appearance, and this time, the actor is bringing an action-packed mass production with him. In addition to Telugu actor Sunil and Kannada actor Raj B Shetty in their first Malayalam roles, the film stars the Megastar in the lead role.

Mammootty starrer Turbo trailer:

The film Turbo, which stars Mammootty in the title character, tells the tale of Turbo Jose, a jeep driver from Idukki. This mama’s boy, who is well-known for acting impulsively and erratically, finds himself unintentionally in Chennai. But when Jose gets into a fight with the notorious kingpin Vetrivel Shanmugha Sundaram, things start to go south. Will Jose succeed in defeating them and putting an end to their problems?

Turbo is a mass action commercial film that primarily capitalises on Megastar Mammootty’s popularity. The film’s creators have been able to take use of the actor’s celebrity image from the outset, even going so far as to include a prominent “Megastar” sign in the background.

Apart from the presence of the legendary actor, the movie heavily depends on Raj B Shetty’s menacing and wicked Kannada portrayal. The actor does a fantastic job portraying a strong antagonist, which keeps the plot fascinating and captivating. The movie’s second half and climax are elevated to an exciting level of action by these gifted performers working together.

Other than them, actress Bindu Panicker truly stole the show by playing Jose’s mother, who is the only person the protagonist fears in the entirety of the film. The bond between the two actors as mother and son was the most outstanding emotional connection depicted in the movie. Additionally, Anjana Jayaprakash, Shabareesh Varma, and Sunil, among other actors, also delivered noteworthy performances, establishing both emotional connections and comedic moments.

Coming to the technical brilliance of the film, the movie’s backbone was the blaring and energetic background scores composed by Christo Xavier. Be it the Turbo Jose theme or Burnout The Engine, both tracks stood out making it a thrilling experience for the viewers. The craftsmanship executed by Xavier should be praised equally to his contemporaries in Malayalam cinema like Sushin Shyam and Rex Vijayan.

The direction by Vysakh in his third collaboration with Mammootty truly made it clear why he is well-known for executing commercial movies. Even though the movie is packed with action movie cliches, it also makes an effort to play around with meta narration, occasionally poking fun at its own cliches.

The cinematography deserves special praise for its creative shots and subtle lighting that enhances the scenes. The film maintains a similar aesthetic to Vysakh’s recent works, which are executed effectively in this instance.

Furthermore, the biggest boon for Turbo is the stunts that were included in the entire movie. Especially in the second half of the Mammootty starrer, the actions were solid and gave a sort of euphoric high with the gravity-defying punches by the Megastar.

Google Doodle Celebrates Musical Legacy of the Accordion.

Google Doodle 2024: The accordion is the subject of today’s Google Doodle, which highlights both its wide-ranging musical influence and its inception in 1829.

With its whimsical homage to the accordion, a cherished instrument recognised for its bellows and its wide influence across musical genres, today’s Google Doodle takes centre stage.
With its patent in 1829 (the name itself comes from the German word “akkord,” which means “chord”), the accordion has had a profound impact on the world of music. The accordion’s versatility has been welcomed by performers all over the world, ranging from exciting jazz and pop sounds to folk and classical songs.

Users may virtually play the accordion with this interactive Google Doodle, adding some musical enjoyment to their online browsing. The Doodle honours the instrument’s path from invention to worldwide popularity by highlighting the historical significance of its 1829 patent.

As per the Google Blog, “Due to the accordion’s widespread appeal among European folk musicians, German accordion manufacturers boosted their output during the late 1800s.” The buttons on the single-sided accordions of the past produced the sound of a whole chord. The ability of the same button to produce two chords—one when the bellows were expanding and another when they were contracting—is another amazing feature.”

“As Europeans spread over the globe, the accordion’s musical applications increased. Both buttons and a piano-style keyboard can be used to play modern versions; some even offer both. Occasionally, they integrate electronic components to enable them to be connected to an amplifier or produce artificially produced sounds. The instrument is still used today in a variety of genres, including cajun music, tango, Latino polka, and folk music! Oktoberfest is one occasion where the accordion is a constant. The blog went on to say, “This exciting event has music, funfair games and traditional attire like dirndls and lederhosen.
