  • Review – Lakshmi Devy’s “Kadhal Enge” is a Heart Warming music video on seizing the day for Love!

    Review – Lakshmi Devy’s “Kadhal Enge” is a Heart Warming music video on seizing the day for Love!

    ‘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

  • Games of Skill Have a ‘Chance’ with Real-money Games

    Games of Skill Have a ‘Chance’ with Real-money Games

    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.

    Shantanu Sudame Releases his First EP Hum 2.0

The songs are dedicated to couples experiencing the blissful joys of coming together and beginning a new life with hearts full of love and eyes full of enchanted dreams.

    Shantanu is the popular voice behind the song Manzar Hai Ye Naya from Uri: The Surgical Strike, in which he sang for music composer Shashwat Sachdev. As a music composer Shantanu has to his credit a variety of popular projects such as Raja Rasoi aur anya Kahaaniyaan, The Great Escape Stories (Netflix), Adrishya (Epic), HRX Heroes (Discovery) and Paurushpur; multiple documentaries for Nat geo including Mega Festivals (Hotstar) and his recent release Space Odyssey (Discovery). His last film, titled Itwaar had a song named Mann Bhala Toh Sab Bhala, which was sung by Udit Narayan. Both the song and the film were well-received by the audience.

    An excerpt of a recent interview with the singer-composer where he talks about his inspiration, songwriting process and more.

    What inspired you to start playing the guitar or making music?

    I have been singing since childhood, but my formal training actually started on the guitar itself. I was keen on mastering the art, so I kept learning. Making music professionally was a natural transition for me. During my journey as a music professional, I discovered scoring visuals which I intend to continue doing. Doing commissioned work teaches you things that you would never learn on your own. If you get the right team to work with, it’s gala time!

    Your YouTube Channel has some beautifully sung classics? Who has been your inspiration from the Golden Era?

    These classics are the pillars of my music, actually. I grew up listening to various kinds of music, from Indian Classical to Filmy Songs but, it was not until I was 15 that I was exposed to any kind of international music. Later I studied western classical guitar for a few years along with Indian Music, but in terms of musical choices, you would notice some major influence from the golden era. I love it and embrace it!!

    If I have to pick a few names from that era that affected my music as a singer-composer, then they would be S D Burman, Kishore da, Hemant Kumar, Madan Mohan Saab and Pancham Da.

    What inspires you as an artist?

    In the last 2 decades, my listening (in terms of music) has been really wide, and so are the influences. Also, I believe it was never just the music that inspired me. These days it’s more of the other things like reading, playing, travelling, meeting friends, etc. Music is simply a tool to express me.

    What’s on your current Spotify list?

    Recently I have been rediscovering some piano music by Erik Satie, some independent music and Panchamda’s music. I really like some songs from Billie Eilish’s recent album. The writing in it is great.

    How would you describe yourself as a musician?

    For me being a musician is a way of life. Learning and practising is a part of it, and I don’t just mean learning on the job. I am a fan of routine as it actually keeps me sane, and I feel more in control. I believe if you are in the best shape physically and mentally, you do hit that sweet spot during creation more often. So, I try and keep that pencil sharp!!

    It is evident in your music that you are a guitarist par excellence. How do you think it affects your creation?

    In a Big Way!! It is the essential ingredient, especially when it comes to my independent music. Luckily the guitar family is huge. I have got a variety of string instruments that I play. Like in this EP you can hear Rabab and Ukulele in almost all the tracks. But even when I am writing for different instruments like sarangi, flute or a trumpet, mostly guitar is my primary writing tool. Almost always, some instrument from the guitar family always finds its way in my tracks.

    What is your process of writing songs?

    A lot of time, they write themselves. When I have to, it’s quite a ride. Well, lines that will sync well in terms of lyrics don’t come naturally to me. But interesting thoughts do. So, I write them down and shuffle, add, subtract till the time they start making some sense.

    Do you have stage fright? Do you follow any ritual or any other habit before your performances??

    Stage Fright? Oh Yes!! I have realised that no ritual works. I would love to hear some suggestions, though!

    What’s one good piece of advice another musician gave to you?

    Music is an art of reaction.

    If you weren’t a musician, what would you have been?

    A Yogi.

    Are you happy solo or looking forward to making a band in the near future?

    A band in future? Absolutely!

    Hum 2.0 is available on all the leading music streaming platforms and YouTube Channel Shantanu Sudame.
