Ramayan actor Dipika Chikhlia says she would like to play Kaikeyi, Sunil Lahiri'spick is Raavan

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.

Music Review: Bombairiya

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> This one actually throws a pleasant surprise. Typically when it comes to independent films one can't really be sure of the kind of music that they would offer. However in case of <em>Bombairiya</em> there is some effort that has actually been put into creating some pleasant music. Arko is brought on board along with guest composers Amjad-Nadeem and the results are satisfactory. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-936675 size-full" title="Music Review Bombairiya" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Music-Review-Bombairiya.jpg" alt="Music Review Bombairiya" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Arko plays the triple role of composer, lyricist and singer for <strong><em>'Sanki',</em></strong> a Punjabi-Hindi number that is just the kind that on expects from a Punjabi hip-hop album. With a catchy tune to it, <em>'Sanki' </em>turns out to be instantly catchy and makes one look forward to how it is placed in the film. Producer Michael E Ward chips in too with lyrics for this fun number that has a hook playing right through which makes one nod in appreciation. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Bairiya'</em></strong>, the word which also forms the base for the film's title <em>Bombairiya.</em> The song arrives in two versions, one which is a Navraj Hans solo and another that has Akriti Kakar joining as well. A sufi outing which has a melodic base to it, <em>'Bairiya</em>' is composed as well as written quite well by Arko. As a matter of fact one could well have expected a song like to feature in an Akshay Kumar film since the superstar is known for including such music for a soothing love song situation. This one deserves to cover good distance in both the versions. Amjad-Nadeem chip in for <strong><em>'Sajde Karoon'</em></strong>. They write as well as compose this number which is spearheaded by Yasser Desai with Warsi brothers (Meraj Warsi, Riyaz Warsi, Faraz Warsi) adding on well in the background. A 'qawalli' that manages to establish an identity of its own and adds on to the genre that it belongs to; <em>'Sajde Karoon'</em> could well be utilized for a devotional as well as romantic outing. This one makes it three out of three for <em>Bombairiya</em>. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Music of <em>Bombairiya</em> is good and it would have covered some distance had it been promoted well. One just hopes that the soundtrack doesn't go unnoticed due to lack of awareness. <strong> OUR PICK(S)</strong> Sanki, Bairiya, Sajde Karoon &nbsp;
