• Dresden players sent home after two test positive
• ‘We are not changing our plans,’ says Christian Seifert

The Bundesliga is keen to press ahead with plans to restart the season for the top two tiers next weekend, despite Dynamo Dresden’s squad being quarantined for two weeks.

Dresden’s players were sent home after two tested positive for coronavirus. This means the second tier club cannot play their first two games of the restart – against Hannover on 17 May and against Fürth the following weekend.

25 April 1985: The new taste is said to be smoother, rounder and bolder, not to mention more harmonious

The hard-nosed men of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday made a snap judgment on the most sensational news in the mighty American soft drinks industry for 99 years. Without even trying the new, sweeter formula Coca-Cola, they backed the initial shock reaction of the amateurs: it tastes more like Pepsi.

By lunchtime yesterday Coca-Cola shares had taken another 1.50 cent pounding on top of the 1.60 they sustained in late trading after the new formula was officially unveiled on Monday, despite the assurances of Coke’s chairman, Mr Roberto Goizueta, that the new taste is smoother, rounder and bolder, not to mention more harmonious. Reporters disagreed.

Actor Dipika Chikhlia, who was seen playing the role of Sita in Ramayan, was introduced to an unmatched popularity that has not faded even today. In an earlier interview, she had revealed how people in the villages would still refer to her as Sita and would even try touching her feet! However, given a choice today, Sita would not be the character she would like to play.

In a recent conversation, Dipika revealed she had evolved as an actor, and would rather be interested to play Kaikeyi, lord Ram's stepmother who insisted her husband Dashratha to send Ram, Lakshman and Sita to an exile for 14 years. Dipika added that playing a negative career was an entirely different experience and she was fond of playing roles that let her explore herself as an artist.

Actor Sunil Lahiri, who played Lakshman's character, said he'd still pick the same role, but if he had another choice, he would like to get into the shoes of Ravana as the character had many shades and would give an actor many varieties to perform.

As the nationwide lock-down began, Doordarshan started re-airing some of its most popular TV shows, Ramayan being the first one. On April 16, it became the world's most watched TV show, with 7.7 crore viewers.

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Well, this could be a record of sorts when an entire soundtrack of a film has been made out of recreated versions. However, this is what happens in case of <em>Luka Chuppi</em> which has five songs in there and each of these has been a hit in its original versions during the last few years gone by. Let's check these out. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-956950 size-full" title="Music Review Luka Chuppi" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Music-Review-Luka-Chuppi.jpg" alt="Music Review Luka Chuppi" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> The only song in the album which has been recreated from a Bollywood flick, <strong><em>'Poster Lagwa Do' </em></strong>is based on <em>'Ye Khabar Chapwado Akhbar Mein'</em> from Akshay Kumar and Urmila Matondkar starrer <em>Aflatoon</em>. This time around the singers at the helm of affairs are Mika Singh and Sunanda Sharma, and both come up with a very energetic outing. White Noise Studios is the force behind the new composition and lyrics, though this version could have done without the brief rap portion. Also the crescendo that picks around 'Ek Ladka Ek Ladki' is a bit odd and avoidable. Tanishk Bagchi, the man responsible for quite a few recreated versions during the last few weeks, picks Tony Kakkar's <strong><em>'Coca Cola'</em></strong> and gives it a new flavour, pun intended. This one is an instant party hit and you want to hit the dance floors while it is on. Tony Kakkar pairs up with Neha Kakkar for this song and also writes lyrics along with Mellow D with Young Desi stepping in for the rap portion, which actually works for this number. In the same mould as the kind of dance numbers that were last seen in Kartik Aaryan's <em>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety</em>, this is a winner. Things turn sober after a couple of dance numbers with Tanishk Bagchi recreating Goldboy's <strong><em>'Photo'</em></strong>. A love song about remembering the one whom you love most, this one has beautiful and simple lyrics by Nirmaan that add on to the romantic appeal. Moreover, the manner in which Karan Sehmbi sings this one, it turns out to be instantly likeable too. The only regret? This one is way too short in duration as one would have wanted to hear more of it. Celebration number <strong><em>'Tu Laung Main Elaachi'</em></strong> comes in next and Tanishk Bagchi scores well yet again while recreating Gurmeet Singh's<em> 'Laung Laachi'</em> that was originally sung by Mannat Noor. Kunaal Vermaa is the lyricist for the new version that has Tulsi Kumar as the singer. She is just the right choice for this sweet and pleasant sounding number that is set to be a rage all over again up North, given its traditional flavour that is out and out 'desi'. When composer Bob and lyricist Raja came up with <em>'Khaab'</em> a few years back, even they wouldn't have imagined that it would emerge as a major chartbuster with a really good shelf life. This is what has happened now; what with the song finding a new version in the form of <strong><em>'Duniyaa'</em></strong> that indeed has a timeless appeal to it. Akhil, who had sung the original version, returns along with Dhvani Bhanushali and Bhrigu Parashar for this really beautiful love song that has new lyrics by Kunaal Vermaa and music put together by Abhijit Vaghani. A winner all over again! <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Luka Chuppi</em> is a major winner with a wide variety to it that should appeal across segments. Agreed that there is no new original number in there but then the packaging of earlier chartbusters ensures that you are hooked right though the proceedings. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Coca Cola’</em>, <em>‘Photo’</em>, <em>‘Duniyaa’</em>
