Duped into dazzle
Anandita Gupta
Media’s
brightest spotlights, pulsating music and beaming lights — this ramp seems to have it all. And suddenly, the arc lights and the whirring cameras go into frenzy. For, strutting on the ramp are some gorgeous male models, seemingly walking straight out of a fairytale. Flaunting a sprightly gait, they walk with élan, stop to pose and display the right attitude in good measure. Smiles intact, each facial muscle in place and body language that proclaims: “I am beautiful. I own the world”.
Experience the MUSIC
 Purva Grover
Drop
the vocal track, change the equalisation, touch up the bass effect, shift the music from left to right, increase the pitch and repeat the beats.’ Endless rounds of these instructions are issued, and after four hours, a fresh piece of music is played on the 13,000 watts speakers and the room reverberates with an echo of a refreshing number. No, we are not at a recording studio, but at the home of Prabhjit Singh (26). A bunch of college goers surround him as the final piece is played. After putting in almost 6 hours for 20 days, a remix of Ya Ali from Gangster and Shakira’s Wherever whenever, is ready and the young music enthusiats seem content.
Shibani’s got a fan in Sanjay
After giving hit numbers like Zinda and Sajna Aa Bhi Ja, Shibani Kashyap has now composed and sung for Sanjay Gupta again. In her kitty is Dhokha Dega Dhokha Khayega in his forthcoming film, Woodstock Villa and Thodi Thodi Saanch for his art film titled The Great Indian butterfly. Says Shibani, “In Woodstock the song is dark and intense and the other is more like a Hindi folk song.” She has even composed and sung a climax song for Rohit Shetty’s Kashmakash. “The song adds a thrilling touch to the film and also heightens its climax,” she says. Shibani will also be soon seen in DJ Suketu’s remix and club mix video for which she has sung and composed.
