Entertainment The singer-songwriter’s four-track collection of songs explores heartbreak with an earnest intimacy Singer-songwriter Dikshant. Photo: Courtesy of the artist Singer-songwriter Dikshant has often sung about matters of the heart and one of his biggest songs to date—the earnest “Aankhon Se Batana” in 2022—is also a romantic song. He returns once again to sing about love on Aakhri Baat, a four-track EP that released earlier this month and covers what he feels is a different side compared to his prior uplifting and motivational songs. Does Dikshant ever feel exhaustion or better still, catharsis while drawing from deeply personal stories and intense experiences like heartbreak? He tells Rolling Stone India it’s “never truly exhausting” and even quotes Buddha on how “suffering is an inherent part of the human experience.” He adds, “It can be challenging to reveal the most vulnerable parts of myself, the ones that only my close circle truly knows. While it’s definitely not easy to put those emotions out there, I’m grateful that songwriting provides a channel for that expression.” The title track of the EP, in fact, isn’t so much about heartbreak as it is about death. Dikshant says the song was inspired by a “deeply emotional scene of saying goodbye forever in an ICU room, where an elderly couple part ways.” It begins with a deep breath drawn and released, later traversing wistful piano and guitars that swell into orchestral arrangements, it’s one of Dikshant’s most poignant works yet. “The sigh at the beginning symbolizes the final, heavy breath, and as the song progresses, you’ll notice heartbeat-like beeps that reflect the poignant moments of life and loss. Ultimately, the flatline at the end represents the final goodbye.” These kind of production and sound design flourishes made by Dikshant with producer Nabeel Zubair walk the line between raw and intimate emotions over cinematic treatment. The EP was in the works for about a year and a half. With the title track, he even decided to keep the initial scratch recording in the final mix. Elsewhere, “Intezaar” adds intrigue and dramatic shifts, “Ae Dil” is a simple ode to the feelings that hearts are subject to, and the lush “Qareeb” addresses forgiveness after betrayal. For the most part, Dikshant says he relied on his guitar, which he likens to his best friend. “I relied on acoustic elements and, for the first time, introduced live-recorded violins to add depth and emotion. Ultimately, the goal was to create something that felt like home—vulnerable, genuine, and reflective of who I am,” he adds. There’s more new music and directions to traverse now that Aakhri Baat is out. “I’m eager to tap into different musical styles and see how I can push my boundaries and discover my full potential.” A four-city tour is in the works for his fans, referred to as Humrahis. “I can’t wait to perform unreleased songs and share my growth as an artist with my beloved Humrahis. It’s all about connecting deeply, exploring new horizons, and showing how far I’ve come,” he says. Read More

Entertainment As Dhurandhar is continuing to rule the box office in India, the battle for the Christmas 2025 period is getting intense between the Kartik Aaryan led Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and the James Cameron film, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And in a surprising turn of events, exhibitors have decided to reduce the show count of Avatar: Fire and Ash on Christmas Day to accommodate the Kartik Aaryan rom-com at their properties. Avatar: Fire And Ash shows to be CUT by 30% on Christmas Day for Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera; exhibitors pick Kartik as their first choice “Jio Star Studios (Distributor of Avatar: Fire and Ash in India for Disney India) has permitted exhibitors to move the Christmas Day programming for Avatar: Fire and Ash as the exhibitors had strong pressure from the stakeholders of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri headlined by Kartik Aaryan with Ananya Panday. The show reduction process has already begun at independent chains, and approx. 30 per cent of the shows will be reduced for Avatar: Fire and Ash on Christmas Day, which will give a very good release to the Kartik Aaryan film,” a trade source shared with Bollywood Hungama. The exhibitors are bullish on Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri as it’s a happy film featuring a young star like Kartik Aaryan, and it fits the bill for the family plans over the holiday period of Christmas and New Year. “There is strong demand for Tu Meri Main Tera among the youth, and they are expected to ensure a strong start for the film on the opening day despite competition. The audience demand is driving the showcasing and programming, as Avatar: Fire and Ash has clearly not fired the way it should have at the box office,” the trade source told Bollywood Hungama. In contrast, Jio Studios has not permitted any reduction in shows for Dhurandhar on Christmas Day. Exhibitors are adhering strictly to the original showcasing commitments for the film.
