Early on in #Jawan, a heavily bandaged #SRK asks a village, "Main kaun hoon?", a rousing brass theme thunders in the background and a title card appears: SHAH RUKH KHAN.

That in a nutshell is this electrifying and mad new Atlee film. It's part saga & part self-aware paean. Image 2/7
In #Jawan, #Atlee distills the narrative spirit of his guru Shankar, & Manmohan Desai; the anti-establishment rage from Nayak, Indian, Ghayal, & Rang de Basanti; and bottles it all in a dazzling comic book-style vigilante drama that still inexplicably feels inventive & fresh

#Darlings is a film I loved thoroughly. Apart from the stellar performances by #AliaBhatt, #ShefaliShah and @MrVijayVarma, and the way in which director @djasmeet marries the triggering topic of domestic abuse with dark comedy...

Here are my 12 favourite touches in the film! 1/n
 Superstition

When we first meet Badru in #Darlings, she's superstitious af (read naive.) Not stamping on discarded lemon-chilli totems, sprinkling salt over her shoulders. But at the story's turning point, she walks off calmly even as a black cat crosses her path. Resolute.

20 July 1972 saw the untimely demise of singer-extraordinaire #GeetaDutt at the young age of 41. But her tragically short life hasn't made the slightest dent in her lasting legacy as one of our greatest & most versatile artistes. Let us revisit 12 of her best songs!

1/n #GeetaDutt made her playback debut under Hanuman Prasad in 1946, but it was #SDBurman whose 'Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya' from Do Bhai (1947) made her an overnight sensation. Notice how her voice ebbs & rises to fit the melancholy & angst of the song. She was barely 17 here!

 The just-released #DilBechara album finds #ARRahman in his most accessible & fresh-sounding form in recent times! The tracks feature a profusion of intricate vocal harmonies, strings, electronic sounds; & traverse varied genres like ballads, dance-pop & hiphop!

*THREAD* 2/n
 The funky soundscape & #ARRahman's surprisingly seductive vocals in #DilBechara's insanely catchy title track are offset by a thumping bass & an unexpected trap-rhythm- pizzicato-riff combo in the song's 3rd verse!

Unpredictable, unfettered, heady!
