    Darshan Raval is an Indian singer, composer, lyricist, and actor. His first on-screen appearance was in the reality show India's Raw Star.  

    Recently, he came out with his much-awaited album Judaiyaan on Triller. We recently caught up with him to learn more about his album and his career trajectory.
    1. What can you tell us about your new album? What has inspired you and what's the story that you're trying to put across?
    The entire theme of the album is around the concept of Judaiyaan. During the lockdown period, we've been forced to be away from the people we love and the places we love to visit, we were separated from everything we loved. 
    Love has always been an important part of all my songs. This is how the idea for the Judaiyaan album was conceived.
    View this post on Instagram2. As rave as the reviews for your music is, there is also a growing fan base for your sense of fashion. Is fashion something you have a keen interest in?
    For me, fashion is my comfort zone. I should feel comfortable and not worry about what I am wearing. 
    View this post on Instagram3. How tough is it to break into the industry? What advice would you give to young artists out there trying to make it in the Indian music scene?
    Each industry is built because of the people in it and their talent. If you are talented and have a passion for it then you shouldn’t worry about it. 
    Hard work always pays. Patience and perseverance are key.
    View this post on Instagram4. A growing debate in the industry is centred around artist-producer relationships and whether producers get enough credit.
    Music producers, I feel, are the least credited people as compared to the credit that a composer and singer get. 
    In my team, I have Siddharth Bavsar and Anmol Daniel who have been producing music for me this year and I am thankful for the sound they give to my music. Producers have an equivalent role in the song.
    View this post on Instagram5. What's your creative process like? Is it more spontaneous and free-flowing?
    Yes. I don’t have strategies or methods. My music is based on emotions, it is spontaneous. It’s a spiritual process for me. 
    6. Can you talk about the #Judaiyaan campaign on Triller and some of the entries that you loved?
     I wanted to see people's interpretations of Judaiyaan in their way. I loved the way people were dancing, narrating their stories on it. They turned the song into their story.

    Bollywood just doesn't do it like it used to before. The quality of movies recently has really deteriorated, especially comedy movies. There are fewer and fewer iconic movies coming out now and it's honestly sad to see that we don't get that quality content anymore.
    Back in the 2000s, there was one memorable movie coming out after another and most of them still hold up. If a movie like Welcome or Hera Pheri is on TV, you better believe that so many people are rewatching it for the hundredth time.
    So, here's looking back at the movies that made comedy peak over a decade ago:
    1. Khosla Ka Ghosla © Taandav Films
    What a freaking movie. The plot, the performances, the relatable portrayal of the average person. This movie managed to be hilarious and real at the same time.

    Anupam Kher and sons tricking Boman Irani into giving back the land he illegally took from them is a work of art. What a wholesome movie that anyone can fully enjoy with their entire family.

    2. Oye Lucky Lucky Oye © UTV Motion Pictures
    Abhay Deol is one of the best yet the most underrated actors of our time. The guy does such great movies, giving us so many unique stories and hardly ever gets the appreciation he deserves.

    He's so lovable he made us all root for the 'superchor' in this movie and the entire movie is just straight-up brilliant.

    3. Welcome © Base Industries Group
    This movie is one of the most quotable movies to ever come out of Bollywood and it being so relevant, even after over a decade, definitely makes it a classic.

    Uday Shetty and Majnu Bhai are some of the most bizarre characters and they work so perfectly in the movie.
    And, this was the golden time where Akshay Kumar did so many movies and all of them were perfect.

    4. Garam Masala © Venus Records & Tapes
    The perfect situational comedy full of miscommunications and visual gags, this movie honestly doesn't get the love it truly deserves. 

    Akshay Kumar and John Abraham have more chemistry than so many iconic Bollywood pairings and their dynamic in this movie makes it a great watch.
    Moreover, the entire running around scenes with all the women in the house, just missing each other, can make anyone laugh out loud.

    5. Golmaal © Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd
    The first Golmaal movie was a masterpiece, and not just compared to all the sequels that came after that. The absurd plot, the over the top acting, wasooli bhai, it makes for a hilarious movie.

    This really should've been a one-hit-wonder because the sequels really did not add more to the legacy of the first one.

    6. Bheja Fry © HandMade Films
    It feels like Vinay Pathak plays a similar character in every movie he is in, and he plays it really, really well.

    This is another movie that we probably haven't thought of in a while, but it really should get a lot more credit. The small budget movie did a lot of big things back in 2007 and the hilarious movie is very well worth the watch.

    7. Hungama © Venus Records & Tapes
    All Priyadarshan movies have in common is that chaotic ending with all the characters together at one place.

    So much miscommunication, so much confusion, so many Anjalis - the movie obviously ended with a hilarious showdown and the end of a love triangle.

    These are the kind of wholesome comedies that really need to come back. 
    Bollywood, do better, please.

    After a thrilling season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the excitement in the cricketing world now shifts to Down Under where India and Australia are gearing up to renew their rivalry in four Tests, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and as many Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
    The Indian cricket team will begin their campaign with the three-match ODI series which is slated to begin from 27th November. After competing in the 50-over format, the action will switch to the shortest version of the game as India and Australia will take the field in the 1st T20I on 4th December. Following the limited-overs duel, India will find their biggest challenge in the Test series starting from 17th December.

    While beating the Aussies in their own backyard is no mean feat, India did prepare a 32-man squad to bolster their chances of favourable results Down Under. 

    But, ever since the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Indian squad for the Australian tour, there have been a few developments which has led to some noticeable changes.
    1. Virat's Paternity Leave  View this post on Instagram
    During the selection meeting held last month, Indian captain Virat Kohli had expressed his desire to return from Australia after the 1st Test, to be played in Adelaide, from 17th December. The Delhi cricketer wants to be around his wife Anushka Sharma, who is pregnant, when she gives birth to their first child.

    Granting Kohli a paternity leave, the BCCI recently announced that the Indian skipper will not be available for the last three Tests. Amid his absence, the Indian cricket board didn't specify who'll lead the team but chances are the responsibility will be bestowed upon vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane.

    2. Rohit Only Available For Tests  © Reuters
    The BCCI selection committee had turned a lot of eyebrows after they initially left Rohit Sharma's name out of the Indian squad touring Australia. Amid a lot of speculations, it was confirmed that Rohit isn't fully fit, despite his appearance in the Mumbai Indians jersey during their IPL title triumph.

    After careful deliberation, it has been confirmed by the BCCI that the 'Hitman' will join Team India but only for the four-match Test series. The Mumbai batsman had sustained a hamstring injury during IPL 2020. 
    While the Indian team has already departed for Australia, Rohit has returned home to work on his recovery. He will undergo his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and, once he passes a fitness test, head to Australia ahead of the Test series.
    3. Ishant Likely For Tests  © Reuters
    Ishant Sharma was eager to make an impression in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League but the lanky seamer sustained an injury which ruled him out of the tournament. An abdomen tear, midway in the tournament, didn't just rule Ishant out of IPL but also posed a threat to his spot in the Indian squad for the Australian tour.

    He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and is likely to make the cut for India's Test team once he regains match fitness.

    Varun Chakravarthy must have been excited to earn his maiden national call-up, but an untimely injury has ruled him out for the Australian tour. The Tamil Nadu spinner had impressed Indian selectors with his brilliant performances for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2020.

    With Chakravarthy ruled out, Indian selectors roped in exciting seamer Thangarasu Natarajan for the T20I series. The 'yorker specialist' from Salem, Tamil Nadu was one of the key contributors to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their inspiring journey to the Playoffs this season.

    We are blessed with actors in the Indian film industry who don’t look a day older than 40 but are actually in their 60s. Such fitness levels at their age is nothing but phenomenal. 

    Anyone who ever dreads ageing can learn a lesson or two from these veteran actors, who are living proof that age is nothing but just a number, and that you're never too old to start working out and take care of your physical health, and mind you, also your mental health. 
    From Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher to Jackie Shroff, all these actors have crossed the age of 60 but are acing the fitness game like no other. Also, when it comes to physical fitness, these actors can easily give people half their age a run for their money and metabolism. Don’t believe us? 
    Check out some of the inspiring videos and pics of these actors: 
    1. Anil Kapoor  View this post on Instagram
    Of late, Anil Kapoor is making people half his age extremely envious about him on social media. Why, you ask? It’s because he has become an unstoppable force both in terms of acting and fitness. 
    “This papa doesn’t preach, just removes his top and walks to the beach,” that’s what he wrote in one of his posts where he’s walking shirtless at the beach. 
    At 63, Anil Kapoor looks as good and young as he did during his debut days and the credit entirely goes to his dedication towards fitness and health. 
    From running, cycling, doing planks, jumping ropes to weight lifting, the actor is at the top of his fitness game and is giving major fitness goals to his fans and followers in the process.  
    2. Rajinikanth  View this post on Instagram
    At 69, Rajinikanth is at his fittest best and gave proof of the same while shooting Into The Wild With Bear Grylls. Remember? The duo went on an adventurous journey through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve in Karnataka. 

    Earlier this year, his fans flooded social media with pictures of him working out during the shoot of his movie Darbar. In the pictures, the actor was seen flaunting his ripped biceps and toned physique. 
    Apart from working out, the actor also practices yoga and swims frequently. Many of his fans might not be aware that he frequents Mt Kailash every year. 
    3. Sunny Deol  View this post on Instagram
    The actor-turned-politician celebrated his 64th birthday on October 19, 2020. His father Dharmendra shared pictures from his birthday party, on social media, where Sunny Deol did not look a day older than 40! 

    The actor, who is best known for his “dhai kilo ka haath” dialogue told Filmfare, “Fitness is an addiction for me. If I don’t work out, I don’t feel energetic throughout the day. I work out with weights in the morning and play sports in the afternoon.” 
    Well, if this doesn’t motivate you, what will?  
    4. Amitabh Bachchan View this post on Instagram
    At 78, Amitabh Bachchan is the oldest actor on this list, but his fitness levels are undoubtedly at par with people half his age. The actor, who is currently busy with the latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, is an inspiration for everyone. 

    Earlier this year, he even shared a gym selfie on social media, where he’s seen standing in front of treadmills, weights, dumbbells and other equipment at his home gym, encouraging his fans to exercise. 
    In one of his blogs, the actor even shared his morning routine that includes beginning his day with gym sessions, consuming tulsi leaves and doing pranayama. Guys, kuch seekho inse!  
    5. Anupam Kher  View this post on Instagram
    From taking up boxing, weight lifting to doing push-ups, 65-year-old Anupam Kher has upped his fitness game during the lockdown. 

    The actor has been constantly sharing motivation posts and his workout regime with his followers on social media and even thanked his fellow co-stars Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor for encouraging (in his words, forcing) him to exercise regularly. 
    In 2016, he surprised his fans when he revealed that he’s lost nearly 14 kgs and shared his transformation pictures.
    6. Jackie Shroff  View this post on Instagram
    While Tiger Shroff is impressing his fans and followers on social media with his toned body and ripped muscles, his 63-year-old father, apna bhidu Jackie Shroff isn’t too far behind in the fitness game. 

    Time and again the actor’s jaw-dropping pictures have proved his fitness levels – whether it's Tiger Shroff sharing an image of the Devdas actor’s ripped body and calling him the “real Baaghi”, or wife Ayesha Shroff sharing a picture of him flexing his muscles. 
    On the work front, the actor will be soon seen in Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi. 
    Bhai log, if these posts don’t ignite a fitness urge in you - tum kabhi sudhar nahi sakte. It’s time for my workout now. BRB!

    Apex Legends was struggling with lukewarm content until season 6 but things have changed the season 7 rollout. Apex Legends' season 7 called 'Ascension' has pumped a new life into the game. There are so many new things to explore in the game now and it almost feels like we're playing a completely different game.
    In case you don't know anything about Apex Legends season 7, then here's a quick look at everything that's new.
    A New Map © Respawn Entertainment
    Apex Legends players now have a new map to drop into. It's called the Olympus and it's one of the best maps we've ever played on. It's not a big map but the individual point of interest (POI) is so big that it feels massive. We also like how it's very difficult to get third parties by another enemy squad while you're fighting one.

    A New Legend © Respawn Entertainment
    Season 7 of Apex Legends also introduced a new legend called Horizon. She's a gravitational manipulator whose kit is proving to be very powerful in the new map. You can use her tactical ability to gain height during a fight. You can also use her 'Singularity' Ultimate ability to disrupt a fight and gain an instant advantage.

    New Vehicle © Respawn Entertainment
    There's a lot of ground to cover in Olympus and Respawn has made it easier for us to travel. This new vehicle is called the Trident and it's scattered around the map. You can grab one and let your teammates hop in to travel and make quick rotations around the map. We think this is a great addition to the game and we simply love it.

    Our Favorite Weapon Is BackIn season 6, Respawn decided to lock an SMG named 'R99' to the care package, making it extremely difficult to find. R99 was arguably one of the best weapons in the game and it was a fan favorite mainly due to its rate of fire. Well, the weapon is back as a part of the ground loot now and we love how it's once again the attention it deserves.
    The Final SayRespawn has also managed to make a lot of other meaningful changes to the game to make it feel fresh. We've been thoroughly enjoying the new season and it's definitely one of the best seasons to have come out so far.

    Sharad Kelkar recently stole the show by playing a fifteen-minute cameo role in Akshay Kumar’s latest film Laxmii. He was able to make a huge impact in just a brief period and since then people started flooding Twitter with comments on how much they enjoyed his acting in the film.

    So, here are 5 best performances of Sharad Kelkar that prove he is one of the stellar actors of Bollywood.
    Laxmii  © Disney Hotstar
    Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy released on OTT and Sharad Kelkar was the actor who played the role of Laxmii, the original trans woman whose ghost haunts Akshay Kumar in the film. While Sharad only had a fifteen minute role in the film, people were spellbound to look at his performance and called him the ‘soul’ of the film.

    Bhoomi 
    Sharad Kelkar played the role of a lead antagonist in the father-daughter revenge drama. He was seen working alongside Sanjay Dutt and was acknowledged for his extraordinary performance in the film. The film’s plot revolved around how Sanjay Dutt’s daughter in the film gets raped by her cousin and he is all set to punish the perpetrators by taking the law into his own hands.
    Tanhaji
    The film did well at the box office and once again Sharad Kelkar was loved by the audience for playing the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Maratha braveheart with absolute finesse. 
    Ram Leela
    Sharad played the role of Kanji in the film. He once said in an interview with IANS, “Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela was a gamechanger for me. I think people accepted me from Ram Leela. From a TV actor to do a film, the phase was difficult but I got an amazing response through that.”

    "I kept on doing films after films that's why I have a good relationship with most of the actors and producers and directors with whom I worked and I want to work. The journey has been great I am looking forward to 2020 now few more releases are happening. The next year is pretty exciting for me," he added.

    Sharad also played a dual role in Housefull 4. He acted as Suryabhan in the movie when the period showed from 1419 and Munna Bhai in the year 2019. He has evolved so much as an actor but he has always been a good actor. Even when he was acting in TV shows, he was lauded by the audience for his performance.

    We got our hands on the Xbox Series X and within the first 24 hours, it has left us quite impressed. The console is Microsoft’s vision of next-gen gaming or should we say now current-gen gaming that comes with upgraded hardware and nifty features like Quick Resume, super-fast loading times and the ability to game for cheaper with the Xbox Game Pass. We’ve already talked about how the Xbox Game Pass is important for India however, we can now talk about our experience with the console. A little housekeeping note: this is not the full review of the console as we haven’t spent enough time with it, but more of an overview of what you can expect.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    As soon as you open the box, you are greeted with Microsoft’s new slogan “Power Your Dreams” wrapped around the Xbox console itself. Along with the console, the packing includes a power cable, an HDMI 2.1 cable, the new Xbox controller and a pair of AA batteries. After setting up the console, you boot it up by pressing the Xbox logo which also happens to be the power button. When turned on, the box makes the same startup chime sound as previous Xbox consoles. The Xbox Series X is supposed to be used in vertical orientation but you can also use it by having it laid on its side. Our first impressions of the console are that it is hefty and does have some weight to it. It's smaller than what it looks like online and fits well with most TV entertainment units. 

    While using the console, the first thing we noticed was how incredible silent it was. Even when running graphic-intensive games like Forza Horizon 4 or Yakuza 7, the Xbox Series X didn’t make a sound. Having said that, we can only know for sure how loud it gets when the console is pushed to use the full 12 teraflops, however that will be towards the end of the generation when developers will be able to push its limits. 
    We also timed how long it takes for the Xbox Series X to boot up. From an always-on or “Instant On” state, the Xbox Series X starts in about 5.14 seconds. Yes, we did multiple tests and each time console started close to that time. In the case of cold-boot, it took about 10-12 seconds for it to boot up. That’s quite impressive considering how slow the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One X can be at booting up.

    The Xbox Series X also comes with a new controller that is basically the same as previous designs. It has some subtle differences such as the new D-Pad being more friendly for platforming games. There’s also some grip texture on the analog sticks, triggers and the back of the controller. However, if you really want to have the ultimate experience, we recommend using the Elite 2 controller with the console if you can manage to get your hands on one. 

    We also paired up the Elite 1 and Elite 2 controllers almost flawlessly. If you are already an Xbox user, you will be happy to know that you can bring your old Xbox One controllers with you and use them to play games on the Xbox Series X and S. It was brilliant on Microsoft’s part to have backwards hardware compatibility as it really helps in saving the cost of buying an additional controller.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The Xbox Series X also comes with 1TB of storage in the form of an NVME SSD that is the reason behind the console’s speed at loading games and boot-up time. You will get about 801GB of storage for your games after you download the Day 1 patch. You can expand the storage by using Seagate’s 1TB proprietary expansion SSD, however we haven’t got our hands on that yet to test. Microsoft says it delivers the same performance as the internal NVME SSD which is reassuring. Additionally, you can also store Series X games on an external HDD, provided it has support for USB 3.1. You can store next-gen games on the HDD and transfer it to the console when you need it. This removes the pain of re-downloading games as transferring data is way faster. You can also play backwards compatible games from the HDD directly without having the need to transfer them to the console. However, since it will be played off the HDD via a USB connection, loading times will not be as fast when played on the SSD. 

    The other great feature Microsoft has implemented is the ability to switch games with its new “Quick Resume” feature. We tested out this feature with Yakuza 7 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps where we switched between the two games to test this feature. When switching, you no longer have to wait for the entire game to load from scratch and instead will take you right where you left off. 
    From our initial impressions, the Xbox Series X feels like a solid piece of hardware that can literally power my dreams of playing incredible games. Sure, I still need to play truly next-gen game to test its capabilities, but from what we’ve seen in our brief time with the console, the Xbox Series X is on the right track.
