• 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.

Nathan Redmond hustles towards the camera, suited up, fedora jauntily perched and when he starts to lip-sync, the voice is that of Carter – the character played by Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 3. It is the scene involving him, Master Yu and Mi and, for those who have not seen it, has Carter getting into a word-play tangle as he questions Yu and Mi. “Who are you? Yu. No, not me, you. Yes, I am Yu.” It goes from there.

As he tussled with John Humphrys on Radio 4, the Labour leadership challenger sounded confident, articulate and human

Listening to the radio this morning I had an experience I realised I’d almost forgotten. It was the sound of a Labour politician being combatively quizzed on Radio 4 by Today’s John Humphrys in the key 8.10 spot and giving confident, articulate answers in return. When did I last hear that, I wondered?

What follows here isn’t a party political broadcast for Owen Smith. For the first time since Labour’s glittering leadership contest to succeed Harold Wilson in 1976 – Callaghan versus Healey, Foot, Crosland, Jenkins and Benn – he’s a leadership contender whom OAP Mike doesn’t really know.

Mother’s have been an important part of Hindi cinema. Over the years, the portrayal of mothers in Bollywood has been changing. Mothers are given much more importance in cinema than just being a character actor who has to nod to everything the husband or the child says. 

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, here’s looking at some of the most popular on-screen mothers. 

Rakhee 

Her dialogue “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge'' is not something that one will forget anytime soon. She played mother to actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in the hit film Karan Arjun. While Rakhee has played varied roles in her illustrious career spanning over 50 years, when it came to being a mother onscreen she has been seen as a woman of principles including in films like Baazigar, Ram Lakhan, Soldier, Khalnayak and others. 

Farida Jalal 

Farida Jalal too has been part of the industry for almost fifty years and continues to impress people with her charm. While the actress has played different kinds of roles, her motherly onscreen figure is the one most remembered by people. From being Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in Duplicate to Kajol’s in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge, she is the kind of mother who is always ready to make sacrifices for her child. She is also popular for the savage yet emotional grandmother of Jiya from the television series Shararat. 

Kirron Kher

She is often cast as the loud Punjabi mother with a soft heart always caring and worrying about her child. From Dostana, to Hum Tum to Singh is King to Om Shanti Om she was the mother who could also make you laugh with her snarky comments. While she started her career in film in 1983, most of her hit films including Main Hoon Na and Rang De Basanti see her play the role of a mother. 

Reema Lagoo

Best remembered for her role in Tu Tu Main Main, she has largely been seen in Bollywood films playing the emotional mother. She has played mother to most superstars in the late 80s and 90s. She was considered as a "new-age mother" in Hindi cinema. She was low on drama and was not too emotional either, perfectly maintaining the balance between the two. From Hum Saath Saath Hai to Hum Aapke Hai Kaun to Kal Ho Naa Ho, she is the kind of mother you just want to give a hug and say everything will be okay. 

 Jaya Bachchan 

How can an onscreen mother’s list be complete without Jaya Bachchan. She raised the bar for on-screen mothers with her performance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The scene with Shah Rukh Khan’s entry in the film will be remembered for Jaya Bachchan’s sixth sense rather than the superstar’s entry. She then went on to ditch the saree and all the parampara and thali and was seen playing a bold single mother in Kal Ho Naa Ho. 

Ratna Pathak Shah

She will always be remembered dearly as Maya Sarabhai who could accept anything else but being middle class. When it comes to playing a mother in Bollywood, she has never been typecast and has shown variety in her characters. In Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na she was the protective and progressive mother to Imran Khan’s character who could not tolerate violence or any unjust activities. She once again played mother to Imran Khan in Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. She was a rich- sophisticated woman yet very different from her character Maya Sarabhai. Meanwhile, she played a middle-class mother to Taapsee Pannu in the film Thappad who worried more about “Log Kya Kahenge”.

Today, May 10, India celebrates Mother’s Day. The Internet is flooded with people sharing their fond memories with their mothers and thanking them for everything they do selflessly. Owing to the lockdown, many are unable to celebrate this day they usually do with several people staying away from their family. All this love is now being outpoured on social media. 

Bollywood celebrities are also taking to social media to share pictures, songs and poems for their dear mothers. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is debuting a song titled 'Ma', dedicated to all mothers. Sanjay Dutt has penned a poem for late mother Nargis Dutt, while Ananya Panday shared an old video where she is answering who is her most favourite person in the world and she says her mother. Sara Ali Khan shared an unseen picture of her as a newborn baby posing with her mother and grandmother. Other celebrities also wished their mothers in their own ways with heartfelt posts.

Full Article

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> One look at the title <em>The Dark Side of Life - Mumbai City</em> and it seems more apt for a book than a feature film. Nonetheless, that is indeed the case for this film which has a mix of newcomers and experienced actors with Mahesh Bhatt being seen in a crucial part as well. While Azeem Shirazi is the biggest contributor as the lyricist, several composers come together to create half a dozen songs in the film. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-925603" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/T4.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> The kind of sound that kick-starts <strong><em>'Aawargi'</em></strong> reminds one of the kind of music that Vikram Bhatt time and again brings in his films. Jubin Nautiyal is effective as the singer in this Sabir Khan composition which is put together by Azeem Shirazi. The trouble though is that the song sounds dated by at least a decade. Hence, even though it has a soft feel to it, the overall impact is not the kind that makes you revisit it again on loop. The song that follows next is titled <strong><em>'Tu Mujhse Nikalta Nahi'</em></strong> and has the kind of hook-line which is indeed catchy. In a bigger film with a larger setup, this Prakash Prabhakar composed and heard song may well have found good traction. Again, the song is not exceptional but still has that quintessential Bhatt touch to it which makes it stand out. Moreover, Tanveer Gazi puts together a good spin of words, especially the title. Remember <em>'Manali Trance'</em> from <em>The Shaukeens</em>? The song which follows, <strong><em>'Saanp Seedhi Wala Saanp'</em></strong>, is on the same lines and belongs to the trance genre. As a matter of fact Tripty Sinha sings this one too in the same style as that of Neha Kakkar and does manage to make an impact too. It is a new team of composer Sandeep Batraa and lyricists Azeem Shirazi and Ozil Dalal who pair up for this promotional song which is expected to bring in good entertainment quotient. However, a little impact that had been created so far is diluted to a major extent by Rashid Khan composed <strong><em>'Ae Zindagi'</em></strong> which is as sad as it gets. From the composition, writing (Nisar Akhtar) as well as the singing (Altamash Faridi Brothers) perspective, the song is really depressing and just doesn't make you root for it all. A slow moving number that is all about pathos, separation and the fact that life doesn't have much to offer to the protagonists, this one belongs to the quick-skip variety. Another newcomer, Shaan Asif Raj, is the composer for <strong><em>'Muddaton'</em></strong> which starts with the sound of guitar. Seemingly a concert number, this Azeem Shirazi written song is rendered by Amit Mishra. A soft rock number, <em>'Muddaton'</em> tries to bring in the kind of mood that was created by <em>'Sun Raha Hai'</em> [<em>Aashiqui 2</em>]. Though it does fall short, it still makes for a decent hear after all. Had it carried more punch to it, this one could well have found itself a better audience. <strong><em>'Aawargi Deewangi'</em></strong> is the song that concludes the album and its depressing notes do not really help the cause. On the same lines as <em>'Ae Zindagi'</em>, this one is written by Aslam Sani with music by Ahsan Ahmed. There is just nothing in there which arrests your attention and even though Mohammed Irfan is the singer here, you don't really find much entertainment quotient in there. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>The Dark Side of Life - Mumbai City</em> is a mixed bag and though there is no real chartbuster out there, two-three songs at least hold your attention while at play. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Tu Mujhse Nikalta Nahi’</em>, <em>‘Saanp Seedhi Wala Saanp’</em>, <em>‘Muddaton’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Films directed by Abhishek Kapoor have traditionally carried good music. From <em>Rock On</em> to <em>Fitoor</em>, the music has been consistently impressive and has been as per the theme and setting of the film. Now that he is bringing on <em>Kedarnath</em> that marks the launch of Sara Ali Khan opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, one waits to hear what do composer Amit Trivedi and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have to offer. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-926514" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Petition-filed-in-Gujarat-High-Court-seeking-ban-on-Sushant-Singh-Rajput-Sara-Ali-Khan-starrer-Kedarnath.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> There is something truly divine about the manner in which <strong><em>‘Namo Namo’</em></strong> begins. A devotional number which is truly devoid of any forced Bollywood inspirations, this one is a well rendered number by Amit Trivedi and makes an instant impression. A smooth sailing song that has a peaceful feel to it and is further accentuated due to the striking visuals that go alongside, ‘<em>Namo Namo’</em> can well be assured of a long shelf life amongst those who want to hear a devotional number first thing in the morning. A love song arrives next in the form of <strong><em>‘Qaafirana’</em></strong> and the mood and feel remains consistent with the kind of set up that Abhishek wanted to put together for <em>Kedarnath</em>. Moreover, there is certain director’s touch that is apparent in the way the tune has been composed, words have been written and especially the manner in which Arijit Singh has rendered this one. There are minimum instruments in the background as primarily it’s the voice and the core composition that takes centre stage which ensures that <em>‘Qaafirana’</em> turns out to be a soulful number that can be heard for a serene experience. What further adds to the beautiful melody is the manner in which Nikhita Gandhi makes a very good impression as a singer despite making a late entry. Things take a celebratory turn as Dev Negi enters the scene and croons <strong><em>‘Sweetheart’</em></strong>. A fun number which is just the kind that one could expect from a Karan Johar, Imtiaz Ali or Aditya Chopra film, this one is as Bollywood as it gets. As a matter of fact it also faintly reminds one of <em>‘Butterfly’</em> [<em>Jab Harry Met Sejal</em>] due to the kind of desi stage and setting that goes with the situation in which the song is set. This one could well have been picked up by Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor or Shahid Kapoor with glee and in that aspect Sushant Singh Rajput can well be happy about the fact that he bagged ‘Sweetheart’ which is a potential chartbuster. Arijit Singh returns on the scene, this time with <strong><em>‘Jaan ‘Nisaar’</em></strong> which appears in a couple of versions. A situational number where the male protagonist is trying to understand why his ladylove is unhappy with him and is trying to woo her all the way back, this one has a smooth flow to it which sees Indian melody being supported by Western instruments. That said the consistency of sound stays in the mood set so far in <em>Kedarnath</em>. Asees Kaur is the voice of the female version and this one somehow appears to be even slower. This is the kind of number that is good when heard in a stand-alone fashion though one can’t expect it to emerge as a chartbuster of sorts. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Kedarnath</em> is good and though it doesn’t have too many songs to result in a complete package affair, it is fine till it lasts. This one has the kind of music that could well grow on the basis of the success of the film. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Namo Namo’</em>, <em>‘Qaafirana’</em>, <em>‘Sweetheart’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> The promo of <em>Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota</em> candidly admits that it doesn't wish to be slotted as a festival film. That is pretty apparent when it comes to the soundtrack as well since there are as many as eight songs in there, albeit pretty offbeat in nature. Newcomer Karan Kulkarni puts together the entire album with Garima Obrah writing maximum songs. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-966210 size-full" title="Music Review Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Music-Review-Mard-Ko-Dard-Nahi-Hota.jpg" alt="Music Review Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Benny Dayal goes all energetic in <strong><em>'Rappan Rappi Rap'</em></strong> which has quirky lyrics in there right through the song's four minute duration. A fun track that has a peppy appeal to it, this one is unique in its own way as you have never heard something like this before at least in the Bollywood scheme of things, courtesy lyricist Garima Obrah. Karan joins hands with lyricist Garima Obrah and also comes behind the mike for <strong><em>'Kitthon Da Tu Superstar'</em></strong> which has Sanj V taking the lead. A Punjabi number which has just the kind of musical ingredients that you expect in a song belonging to this genre and setting, this one has a foot tapping appeal to it. Before the album concludes though, there is a shorter <em>'Shooter Version'</em> too which is Sanj V show all the way with Dipanjan Guha joining Karan Kulkarni for the music. Guest composer Shantanu Ghatak comes up with <strong><em>'Tere Liye'</em></strong> which starts with the sound of a piano. This one has Vishal Mishra beginning the proceedings with newcomer Kamakshi Rai joining him behind the mike along with Karan Kulkarni himself. A song based in night, this one tries to be all serene and cool though eventually turns out to be just about decent. Karan Kulkarni takes lead as a singer along with Saba Azad for <strong><em>'Nakhrewaali'</em></strong>. This one has a different kind of a sound to it when compared with the kind of Bollywood numbers that one has been exposed to. That said, the final impact is not really the kind that makes you root for it. Written by Garima Obrah and Hussain Haidry, this one just about passes muster. What catches your attention at the very onset of the title of the song that goes as <strong><em>'Life Mein Fair Chance Kiska'</em></strong> (Jimmy Mani Song). The lead singer here is Suresh Triveni who sings in a style similar to that of S.P. Balasubramaniam, and that too rather intentionally. However, even though this Garima Obrah written number tries to be all cool and funny, it doesn't really manage to make much of an impression. Moreover, the manner in which Suresh Triveni sings this one along with Surya Ragunaathan and Veera Fauzia Saxena, you can hardly comprehend it. Kamakshi Rai returns, this time for an English number <strong><em>'Dreamtime'</em></strong>. Written by Karan Kulkarni, this one has an out and out Western base to it with a club setting to it. One waits to see how this one is picturized on screen and so is the case with <em>'Shaolin Sky'</em> which follows next. This one has Karan Kulkarni playing the triple role of composer, lyricist and singer, even as he tries to bring back the theme of <em>'Rappan Rappi Rap'</em> intermittently. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota</em> is too niche and certain portions of some of the songs may probably make an impression during the film's storytelling, but that's about it. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Rappan Rappi Rap’</em>, <em>‘Kitthon Da Tu Superstar’</em>
