<p>It’s been a while since we watched a good Bollywood comedy. And perhaps longer since a director has used the perfect comic timing of Rajkummar Rao in a movie script. Rao, who has featured in a spate of mostly unforgettable films in recent years, perhaps got bored with the repeated roles that were being offered to him year after year and decided to back a genuinely funny film called Toaster. Released on Netflix directly, it's the kind of film that makes you laugh out loud at mundanity, the everyday chaos that the Indian middle-class balances in life. Directed by Vivek Daschaudhary and produced by Rao’s wife, Patralekha, Toaster feels refreshing amid the heavy-duty pan-India action films that filmmakers are constantly feeding us.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What’s the story of Toaster?</h2><p>Toaster is based on a story by Parveez Shaikh and with a screenplay by Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial and Anagh Mukerjee. The film has Rao playing Ramakant, a chronic miser who finds himself in a sticky situation after a series of deaths in his neighbourhood leads the police and his crime-news-obsessed wife, Shilpa (Sanya Malhotra), to become suspicious about a missing toaster. Everyone is eyeing the aforementioned toaster, from Ramakant, who wants a refund for it, to a budding politician, to a cop wanting to save his job, to the manager of an orphanage (Farah Khan in a delightful cameo). Everyone has a vested interest in the toaster, which Ramakant keeps harping on as his.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series of deaths leads to more chaos and jeopardises Ramakant’s relationship with Shilpa. He also has to navigate a few older women who seem to be fixated on him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Farah Khan in Toaster

<h2>What works and what does not</h2><p>A comedy of mishaps and errors has to have impactful dialogues that land well and a tight screenplay. Thankfully, Toaster works in the two departments as Parveez Shaikh, Akshat Ghildial, and Anagh Mukherjee build the perfect premise for the film. The laughs are in plenty, and I particularly enjoyed a scene featuring a very high Abhishek Banerjee hallucinating his dead mother as he spots Rao dressed in a burqa. The scene is silly, but the two actors elevate it to a level that one can’t help but laugh out loud. The two actors have proven their perfect comic timing in the Stree franchise before and in Toaster too, compliment each other well. It's pure delight to watch Banerjee and Rao on screen doing silly things so convincingly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Toaster

<p> </p><p> </p><p>While the writing is good, the actors are also well cast, each delivering to their abilities. Rao, as the chronic miser who is also a pathological liar, leads the comedy with his sheer talent and perfect comic timing. I prefer Rao’s comedic performances over his serious films. Make no mistake, he is good in almost all his films, but comedy is tough, and Rao excels in well-written comedies like Bareilly Ki Barfi and Stree. Giving him company are equally talented actors like Sanya Malhotra, Upendra Limaye, Seema Pahwa, Abhishek Banerjee, Farah Khan and Archana Puran Singh.</p><p> </p>

Archana Puran Singh in Toaster

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Malhotra, who has time and again proved her mettle in various films and performances, plays Shilpa effortlessly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Puran’s character is crucial to the film. Her character arc in the film is interesting, showcasing a refreshing take on older women and their desires. And Singh plays the character well. However, not all scenes land in her case. But that’s a negligible flaw in an overall enjoyable film.</p>

<h2>Final verdict</h2><p>A suspension of disbelief is required while watching Toaster, a comedy that is feel-good and not necessarily logical, but it is still a thoroughly enjoyable film. Most importantly, it breaks the clutter of action films which are high on testosterone. Toaster is easy- breezy and keeps you smiling till the end.</p>

Toaster movie review: Rajkummar Rao and his wife Patralekha turn producers for this delightful comedy of errors and mishaps. Rao features as the chronic miser whose life takes a 360-degree turn after he buys a toaster.

Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle have ruled the Indian music industry for decades with their soulful voices. However, alongside the sisters' success, a supposed rivalry between them had also made headlines at one time. Following the demise of Bhosle on April 12, at the age of 92, fans are revisiting their personal and professional relationship. A few years ago, the speculation around Bhosle and Mangeshkar had grown after reports claimed that their bond had turned competitive. The buzz was further fueled after filmmaker Sai Paranjpye released Saaz, a musical drama that many believed was inspired by the sisters' rivalry.

<p>Veteran singer Asha Bhosle has left behind a legacy of music which is still played today in every house. Her legendary collaborations with OP Nayyar and RD Burman have shaped her career in the music industry. Let's take a look at the tracks created with the iconic composers.&nbsp;</p>

Two composers, one iconic voice: Asha Bhosle, RD Burman and OP Nayyar

<p>Everyone who loves Hindi film music has a favourite Asha Bhosle song. For a classical music lover, there is a <i>Piya Baawari</i> from<i> Khubsurat</i>, for those who love ghazals, there are songs like <i>Inn Aankhon Ki Masti </i>and <i>Dil Cheez Kya Hai, </i>for the 90s kids, her pop songs <i>Janam Samjha Karo</i> and <i>Rangeela Re </i>are instant recalls. Bhosle’s work connected with one and all, transcending age, genre and languages.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As she breathed her last on Sunday, the 92-year-old legend left behind a musical legacy that will remain timeless for years to come. Her music, her ability to adapt to changing times, her style of singing the same line of a song in five different ways each time, her mastery over genres like ghazal, pop, and cabaret will remain an text book example of versatility for singers for years.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Early beginnings and breaking out of the looming shadow of Lata Mangeshkar</h2><p>It wasn’t a smooth start for Asha Mangeshkar. Born to Dinanath Mangeshkar, a stage actor and a musician, Asha and her siblings were exposed to music from a young age. She was 9 when she lost her father, and by 10, she started supporting her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar in running the household.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At 16, when she eloped with a much older Ganpatrao Bhosle, it put a strain not only on her personal relations with elder sister Lata Mangeshkar, but also a dent in her brimming career in playback music.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the 1940s and 50s, Lata Mangeshkar and Geeta Dutt dominated the Hindi playback scene and sang for almost all leading heroines. Bhosle struggled to find songs that would feature the heroine. Instead, she sang for the other female characters and even the vamps. Bhosle sang innumerable songs for the vamp, the other woman. Some of Helen’s iconic songs, like <i>O Haseena Zulfon Wali </i>and <i>Piya Tu,</i> were sung by Bhosle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/asha-bhosle-iconic-collaborations-with-sister-lata-mangeshkar-that-defined-an-era-1775982592128">Asha Bhosle iconic collaboration with sister Lata Mangeshkar</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of mimicking the prevailing style, Bhosle leaned to pivot. She leaned into the technical difficulty of those questionable songs, developing a sharper, more rhythmic, and textured voice that could handle fast tempos and westernised beats. The result was a unique voice and style that people swooned over.&nbsp;</p><h2>The Other Mangeshkar</h2><p>While Lata Mangeshkar became the voice of India, her sister Asha became the rebel. Funny how life imitated their career choices, the two sisters dominated Indian music and created their unique style. Mangeshkar remained the leading voice of Indian heroines, but Bhosle created her own niche; one could sing a cabaret number with equal ease, just like she could sing a classical number.&nbsp;</p><h2>The architects of her songs</h2><p>Music director OP Nayyar's association with Bhosle is part of Hindi film lore. He was the composer who first gave Bhosle her own identity. Amid rumours of a relationship, Bhosle and Nayyar created some of the most iconic hits of the 1950s and 60s. These timeless classics remained Bhosle’s biggest hits of all time. The composer-singer duo first collaborated in 1954 for a film called <i>Mangu </i>and in the next two decades created songs like <i>Aaiye Meharbaan </i>picturised on Madhubala (<i>Howrah Bridge</i>, 1958) and <i>Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera,</i> (<i>Mere Sanam,</i> 1965). They also recorded songs for many hit movies like <i>Tumsa Nahin Dekha </i>(1957), E<i>k Musafir Ek Hasina </i>(1962) and<i> Kashmir Ki Kali </i>(1964).</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The last of the living legends of Indian cinema, Asha Bhosle, is dead. The iconic singer, whose career spanned over eight decades, and whose songs inspired generations, could easily be called the ‘Chameleon of Indian Music.’ Her music transcended age and borders.
