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> 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;

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> It is in fact surprising to find a soundtrack for <em>Sonchiriya</em>. Yes, director Abhishek Chaubey has incorporated music in his earlier films like <em>Ishqiya</em>, <em>Dedh Ishqiya</em> and <em>Udta Punjab</em>. Still, with the Chambal setting of <em>Sonchiriya</em>, you don't quite expect music in there. However, Abhishek has done that by bringing on board composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Varun Grover. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-956952 size-full" title="Music Review: Sonchiriya" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Music-Review-Sonchiriya.jpg" alt="Music Review: Sonchiriya" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> It is a Western country music beginning for <em>Sonchiriya</em> as Mame Khan brings on an 'alaap' for <strong><em>'Baaghi Re'</em></strong> even as a guitar plays in the background. This one has a haunting feel to it which goes well with the theme of the film. Moreover, there is this distinct Vishal Bhardwaj element that comes into play for <em>'Baaghi Re'</em> which sets it apart from the other soundtracks that you hear in Bollywood. Not that this one, or its 'remix version' that follows, would be a chartbuster but in the context of the film it plays its part well. Rekha Bhardwaj, who definitely comes up with a song or two whenever Vishal Bhardwaj is the composer, goes solo for the title song <strong><em>'Sonchiraiya'</em></strong> which is later heard in the 'reprise version' as well. This one is a slow moving soft number and has a vintage 70s feel to it which is in line with the kind of songs that were created by Gulzar back then. This time around though it is Varun Grover as the lyricist. While yet again there isn't any commercial value that the song comes with, it should play well as a part of the film. Arijit Singh comes on board for <strong><em>'Ruan Ruan'</em></strong> and pretty much sings this one in a style that is actually synonymous with that of Vishal Bhardwaj himself. The sound of the whistle that accompanies the song is again in line with the Western country music and you like the intoxicating feel that comes with the core of <em>‘Ruan Ruan'</em>. Had this song been promoted smartly and aggressively, it could well have covered some kind of distance. That said, despite Arijit on board, this one too is basically quite niche and for a select audience. Next to arrive is the traditional number <strong><em>'Naina Na Maar'</em></strong> which has its lyrics recreated by Ashok Mizaj Badr. First upbeat number of the soundtrack, this one has Sukhwinder Singh at the helm of affairs and his free flow mode of singing does aid in bringing good vibrancy into the proceedings. He is supported by Rekha Bhardwaj and while there is some kind of energy that comes in when the song is being played, one waits to see how it is picturised for the big screen. Last to arrive is an out and out situational number <strong><em>'Saanp Khavega'</em></strong> which is basically about the 'survival of the fittest'. A kind of number which is basically put together for the purpose of aiding the storytelling instead of playing a part where the commercial aspect of the soundtrack is enhanced, this Sukhwinder Singh sung number just about passes muster. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Strictly situational with no real commercial appeal. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Ruan Ruan’</em>, <em>‘Baaghi Re’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> There are good expectations from the music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em>. After all, it's the <em>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety</em> team of Bhushan Kumar and Luv Ranjan coming together, and that by itself sets the platform for an entertaining score. Moreover with Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh coming together, it turns out to be a unique combination that further adds on to enhanced interest. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-981143 size-full" title="Music Review De De Pyaar De" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Music-Review-De-De-Pyaar-De.jpg" alt="Music Review De De Pyaar De" width="750" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Multiple composers, lyricists and singers come together to create half a dozen songs for <em>De De Pyaar De</em> and the first to arrive is <strong><em>'Vaddi Sharaban'</em></strong>. A song about getting intoxicated and celebrating hard, this song written by Kumaar is put to foot tapping tune by Vipin Patwa. Moreover, with Sunidhi Chauhan leading the show as a singer, it adds further credibility. She is at her vivacious best in this song which has a catchy hook to it and Navraj Hans gives her good company too behind the mike. Later, it also arrives in a 'talli mix' which brings in recall value. A romantic number comes next in the form of <strong><em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em></strong> and this one is the kind that could well have been seen and heard in a Ranbir Kapoor or a Saif Ali Khan starrer. Amaal Mallik comes up with a soulful tune here which has Arijit Singh delivering his best. A soothing number that has some beautiful lyrics by Kunaal Vermaa, <em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em> is the kind of song that should have a good shelf life in time to come. Next to arrive is a dance number <strong><em>'Hauli Hauli'</em></strong> and if one was missing Neha Kakkar all this while then well, the wait is over as she gets into her mischievous best with this one. This is the best song to arrive in the album so far as the entire team of composer/lyricist Tanishk Bagchi along with Neha and co-singer Garry Sandhu (who also chips in with the lyrics) does really well to make this one a cracker affair. Mellow D brings on the rap portions in this song which plays in the end credits and ensures that you take this song home and play it all over again. The soundtrack continues to oscillate between a party number and a love song, and it is time for latter to arrive this time around in the form of <strong><em>'Chale Aana'</em></strong>. A happy-sad number which has the team of Amaal Mallik and Kunaal Vermaa pairing up again, this is yet another winner number which is sung beautifully by Armaan Malik. With a soothing tone to it, the song comes at just the right time in the film's narrative and the accompanying visuals further help in making sure that it manages to make a good impact. Moreover, the lyrics stay with you as well. A Punjabi-Hindi number comes up next in the form of Kumaar written <strong><em>'Mukhda Vekh Ke'</em></strong> which is the recreated version of the song that was originally put together by composer Atul Sharma and lyricist Shamsher Sandhu. A celebration number by Manj Musik that has a fun element to it, it may not the kind that would stay on for long amongst the audience but does manage to leave a good impression while it plays on. Mika Singh and Dhvani Bhanushali pair up well to keep good energy flowing right through the song's duration. Last to arrive is Rochak Kohli composed <strong><em>'Dil Royi Jaye'</em></strong> and this one turns out to be one of those sad numbers that actually end up making you feel so sad that you don't quite aim for repeated hearing. In fact the core hook of this Kumaar written song turns out to be way too sad and the song too arrives at that juncture of the film where it only ends up bringing down the film's pace. Arijit Singh is the singer here but somehow you don't quite take this song back home. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em> by and large ends up working quite well with most of the soundtrack actually keeping you pretty much engaged and entertaining. Be it a couple of party numbers or the love songs, they fit in well into the film's narrative as well, hence lending an overall good experience. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Hauli Hauli’</em>, <em>‘Chale Aana’</em>, <em>‘Vaddi Sharaban’</em>, <em>‘Tu Mila To Haina’</em>
