The story revolves around a guy (Pratik Sharma) who is a mute painter. He does everything in his capacity and more to make sure his girlfriend (Tarjanee Bhadla) is happy. However, his girlfriend is having an affair with another guy (Vatsal Kundalia) who takes her for granted. The mute painter drops his girlfriend off for work and comes back home and paints every day. On day, he sees his girlfriend with the other guy in a café and is hurt. When his girlfriend realises it, she feels very but he tells her that he knew about her affair for a long time, however, he was trying his best every single day to make her happy, but in vain.

This short film is not the usual 10-minute film, that expresses emotions through words but rather the writer, Sunny Jani, has chosen to make his character mute. “Music is a universal language just like love, so I wanted people to understand the emotions first. In my previous relationship, I was a mute spectator despite knowing that the girl was lying to me and that is why I chose to have a mute character in my film,” says Sunny, co-founder of Seven Dot Productions.

Sunny was very sure from the beginning about making Odd In The Even a musical short film.

Tirth Thakkar and Nikita Ahuja who has lent their voices to the background score has done full justice to the soulful music given by Jainam Modi.

Sunny Jani is a writer and producer who has in the past produced Wedding Aur Siyappa and two series Frenemies and He Too apart from many ad films. The musical short film Odd In The Even has already garnered over 80k views in less than a week.

Listen to the music of Jugaadistan now.

New Delhi, February 25: When was the last time you heard an album bubbling with fresh energy and transporting you back to college? First crushes, bunking classes with friends and competition with peers seem like a trip down memory lane. Sony Music and Lionsgate Play partner for ‘Jugaadistan’, bringing the music of their upcoming Indian Original series ‘Jugaadistan’. There is vibrancy in the beats and mirth in the voices, even as the Akarsh and Adarsh Khurana helmed show takes the viewers through colleges’ gritty side.

Putting together a diverse album that reflects the show’s theme, the makers have brought back homegrown music band the Indian Ocean. They have included songs by Akasa, Mika Singh and The Yellow Diary, amongst others. What stands out through the show is its stellar background music that complements and completes the vast narrative with ease. Put together by Anurag Saikia, Khamosh Shah, Prabhdeep Taba Chake, Traffic Jam and Moussak – the songs blend mainstream voices with the music of celebrated underground artists. The album has been picked by Sony Music, who will be promoting it under their banner.

Echoing these sentiments, Rohit Jain, MD, South Asia and Networks – Emerging Markets Asia, Lionsgate said, “Right from the word go, we paid a lot of attention to the music of the show. It is a campus drama, and we didn’t want the usual run-of-the-mill songs for it. Each track has been crafted with attention to detail and reflects the theme and mood of our story. We are glad that so many artists agreed to come and make the music for the show. We tried to keep the album’s vibe very diverse so that the songs appeal to college-goers across the country. And for those who’ve passed out and adulted, it’s a trip back to good times!”

Talking about it, Sanujeet Bhujabal, Executive Director, Sony Music India, tells us, “There is a novelty in this album, and that was our biggest draw. We were mesmerised by the use of the sounds by artists who come from such different worlds and yet fit in so beautifully with the album. It was a delight hearing the beats of Indian Ocean, the Yellow Diary and Akasa in a mainstream show, though they are well known for their pop tracks. And yet, the show has found such talented indie artists to score their background music. It is an eclectic album that is bound to strike a chord with everyone.”

Speaking about the partnership between Lionsgate and Sony Music, Gayathiri Guliani, VP, Licensing and Content Partnerships, adds, “In today’s dynamic global music ecosystem, we at Lionsgate want to give our audience a holistic experience which includes music by the finest. The music created for Jugaadistan is created with the best of singers, composers and artists that give a desi yet urban vibe. Jugaadistan’s music connects instantly to all age groups. We couldn’t have looked for a better partner than Sony Music for Jugaadistan’s music to reach new heights.”

The Indian Ocean, in a joint statement, says, “It’s the kind of story that spoke to us, and scoring music for them was such a fun experience. The music had to be earthy and rooted but peppered with youthful beats. We challenged ourselves to deliver something that’s off the beaten path.”

Mika tells us, “Jugaadistan is a show that’s soaring with pulsating energy and lending my voice and song for this album was exciting. It was a great experience to be part of this show, and I’m sure the music is going to be a superhit among all ages.”

Akasa Singh adds, “It’s like taking a trip down memory lane with an album like this. You bring your own by reflecting your memories in the sounds you create.”

The Yellow Diary says, “Jugaadistan’s music is a confluence of different value systems and eras and the music mirrors just that. There is so much diversity in one album, and it was an absolute blast working on this.”

‘Kadhal Enge’ featuring Darshan Ganeshan and Srisha, directed by Lakshmi Devy has received critical acclaim for it’s portrayal of love, longing and missed opportunities.

 February 22: Kadhal enge song, directed by the Award winning Indian American actress and Filmmaker Lakshmi Devy is a blissful treatment of Love through different eras. It brings back long lost memories of the pure and unconditional love there used to be centuries ago to how impulsive, spontaneous yet determined the youth of today are in the matters of love. The first thing that caught my attention was the beauty in the tone used throughout the visuals of the video – its classy while at the same time sticking to the necessary attributes of each time period.

Shooting this video might for sure have been a challenge for its makers because it goes through different time periods and hence different elements that reflect these eras. Lakshmi has given ample thought to the nitty gritties of each period- right from the costumes to the subtle looks exchanged between the characters.

Casting of the lead pair Darshan Ganesan and Shrisha brings fresh vibes. Both the stars have managed to breathe life into their characters thus making our hearts ache when the hero loses his love interest, and flutter when it flourishes. The Cupid played by Vignesh Sivasubramaniam adds a whimsical touch to the music video.

Kadhal Enge’s highlight for sure is the soulful rendering by its singer Achu Rajamani. It comes right from the heart and goes right through ours.

The attention to the details come through quite evidently throughout the video – for example the shyness in the eyes of the daring hero when he sees the love of his life is such a subtle yet beautiful gesture. Of course there are some eternally relevant and embedded in the heart kind of shots from any love story where the hero walks around with the heroine’s anklet – but when blended into the soulful song and the effective storyline, it comes across as nothing short of beautiful.

The bell that strikes at the end of every era comes across as a symbolic gesture – probably a wakeup call for the heart to become braver and more impulsive.

Cinematography by Abhinandhan Ramanujam is classy and captures the details in a way that tugs at your heart. While director, Lakshmi Devy has thoughtfully brought together all elements of each era with regards to the cultures and it is quite evident that the camera follows the pace of the director and the music.  This adds to the viewer’s satisfaction while watching the video. Editing, costumes and make up  team has done a commendable job in terms of meeting the changing needs of the eras being shown.

Lakshmi Devy can take a bow. We are sure this definitely was not a piece of cake as she took the bold step of bringing together a theme that is so passionate and presented to us as a journey through time which finally flourished in the 21st century when the hero decides to sweep heroine off her feet (i mean, literally) from her wedding mandap. The very last scene (no spoilers) is the highlight of the entire 6:55 minutes I would say. The things love makes one do!

In totality Kadhal Enge is a video that brings a smile to your face and joy to your soul in more ways than one. The video plays in Telugu also as “Yadhalo Mounam”

February 22: Fantasy sport, especially fantasy cricket, is a true game of skill, contrary to what most outsiders and newcomers to this world assume. Much like winning at a casino requires strong skill and a solid strategy, online fantasy games of skill have a ‘chance’ with real-money games.

Participants join platforms like Buaksib, a new fantasy cricket and football app, to make teams for various sports leagues and win some exciting cash prizes. So, in fantasy cricket, real money is always involved and always based on users’ team-building and contest-management skills.

Games of skill enable their users to win or lose them based largely on these players’ skills within those games.

People participating in fantasy sports leagues win large earnings by applying their sports knowledge skills. Certainly, the real-money outcome in any fantasy league contest does not predominantly depend on the luck of the participants.

Instead, real-money winnings on a fantasy game online rely completely on your skill and knowledge for building teams for your chosen sport.

Games of Skill Have a ‘Chance’ with Real-money Games, and Here’s Why:

Team-building Skill

Fantasy cricket, real cash on the line or not, is almost entirely about curating your own personal “dream teams”. Creating an ideal team of 11, be it cricket or football, from the two teams facing off in the fixture you’ve selected is key.

It is wise to balance the two teams’ player representation evenly in your team to safeguard yourself against anyone team’s unprecedented failure or success. You then have to pick the best available options in each player position that the sport boasts of – the ones that you think will perform the best in this particular match. For instance, there would once have been a time that fantasy cricket gamers would have been crazy to not pick MS Dhoni as their one wicketkeeper if he were playing.

Besides this, you need to choose your Captain and Vice-captain – and Key Player, in the case of Buaksib – wisely. These selections, if they perform well, may garner you extra points.

Creating an ideal team, therefore, calls upon our strategizing skill, and this is an ability that Buaksib helps you, master. Buaksib’s cashless contests, wherein you can enrol your selected team or even teams (because Buaksib promotes a multi-entry system) for free, allow you to endlessly play fantasy cricket. So, besides learning how to build fantasy squads, you also gain strategic insights on which contents to pick for which of your curated teams.

Besides the endless fun this prospect promises, it also guarantees improvement on your team-building acumen.

Knowledge-based Selection of Leagues and Contests

Some may argue that which team eventually wins a game is based, largely, on chance – but we heartily disagree. While this may seem to be a matter of luck, studying the history of the sport, the particular league/format, and the two concerned teams will soon persuade you to think otherwise.

If, upon adequate research, you find that one team had tended to win more when these two specific sides clashed in past pairings, you know which team to bet your money on.

Weather also adds unpredictability, and therefore “chance”, to an upcoming fixture. But a quick check-in allows you to determine how much the expected weather will interfere with the playing conditions – if the weather is too turbulent, you then know to enter into low-risk contests for that fixture or pick another fixture or league altogether.

All this is to say that – far from chance guiding match outcomes, it is your skill and knowledge within that sport that truly influence your selected teams’ success.

Knowledge-based Selection of Players

As important as it is to study the history of the sport and the fixture and match conditions, more crucial for fantasy cricket gamers is staying up-to-date on players’ availability and form.

This is yet another skill dominating your percentage of success – keeping track of declared line-ups, player injuries, player rankings, and players’ recent performance history.

This is why your performance on Buaksib and other similar fantasy cricket real money apps relies on factors including strategic skill and knowledge of the history of the sport.
