The feeling of exultation seems to be ripely dense in the air for Ryan Reynolds, who leaves no stone unturned to get back at 21st Century Fox in “Deadpool & Wolverine”, despite having fought for and won the desired final products in the form of the first two “Deadpool” films under its banner. The movie simultaneously and more importantly pays an almost necessary homage to its pre-existing and thriving Marvel heroes and franchises before the launch of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Since Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019, I bet Reynolds had just been itching to finally spill his guts which he does in this more successfully done fan servicing movie after “Spider-Man: No Way Home”.
Born and brought up in a family that practices and appreciates the art of music, Debosrie Antara officially debuted in Dhallywood with “Laage Ura Dhura” from the upcoming Shakib Khan starrer film “Toofan”. The song, composed by Pritom Hasan, has now become the party anthem of the season.
The film gets going with Hirayama (played by Koji Yakusho) awakening in the still-numbing, navy-bluish time of the morning — ahead of the break of dawn, to initially infuse a sense of hurried alarm. However, the picture becomes clearer when he gears himself in his ‘The Tokyo Toilet’ overall uniform to head out during the still-dulling hours of the day. The janitor doesn’t forget to pay attention to his plants prior to leaving home, gently smiling up at the sky whilst admiring it for a few good seconds, then moving to pick out a ready-made coffee can from a vending machine near his outwardly dilapidated home. He eventually gets in his car, picks out a cassette tape, and drives to work.
The vivacious songstress with the honeyed voice has had a rather bustling month this year — as divulged by Dilshad Nahar Kona herself. Not only did her latest collaboration with Muza, “Daane Baame”, drop this ongoing month but Kona has been touring and performing in around 17 scheduled concerts across Bangladesh, on top of also accumulating praise for singing a romantic rendition of the Rabindra Sangeet “Bhalobeshe Sokhi” on Pavel Areen's “Living Room Session”. Additionally, the versatile musician lent her voice to 11 songs for different dramas and films on television this month alone.
Her’s is a story that is one with all– who have had to and are still working hard to make it in an industry that is elusive. Antara Roy Chowdhury, also known by her stage name Debosrie Antara, hence grew up harbouring a penchant for the ability of music, with the dream of one day becoming a singer. Her younger school-going self was even prepared to sacrifice her drift toward a more substantial career for the love of music.
Meghdol’s main vocalist Shibu Kumer Shill has recently been making headlines for having lent his voice to “Nirbashito Chaand”, from the upcoming Tollywood film “Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole”.

An irrefutable aspect of content is its capability of churning out sub-trends on top of becoming a trend itself. This year, OTT platforms successfully presented a diverse range of content. Whether it be on the charts or social media, this medium has continued to dominate, proving that users have adapted to ‘the future’ faster than anticipated. Here are the most talked-about western OTT releases of 2023.
“When are you going to have a baby?” is the question that Tithi, portrayed by Nusrat Imrose Tisha, is met with, within the initial five minutes of “Something Like an Autobiography”. It is unfortunately safe to say that even in the year 2023, people somehow find it acceptable to ask this to most married individuals, who especially face these after they've been married for a good number of years.

I would definitely notice my friends being completely enthralled by their respective favourites, so I surrendered to believing that I'll never really be able to claim a specific singer as my go-to. At that age, I really thought that it was too late for me to determine my ‘stan’. After all, how could I decide upon a matter that simply never felt special to me?
