Entertainment From the crowd at Pacha ICONS to the late-night buzz at Paradiso and the quiet breakfasts at Numâ, every space at FIVE properties flowed into the next like a perfectly mixed playlist I landed in Dubai just as the city was lighting up. From the plane window, you could already tell this place doesn’t do quiet. A Tesla and chauffeur were waiting at the airport with my name card, and the second the doors shut, I caught that mix of perfume, air-conditioning, and faint bass bleeding from someone’s Bluetooth speaker outside. The drive to FIVE LUXE JBR was a postcard on fast-forward — the Burj Khalifa flashing in the distance, Sheikh Zayed Road buzzing beneath it, and that polished chaos that Dubai has perfected. The check-in took all of a minute. The staff were impossibly polite but casual enough to make you feel like they’d done this a thousand times that day. The suite was spotless, the kind of clean that smells faintly of linen spray and ocean air. The balcony opened to an endless stretch of sea. Downstairs, one of the hotel floors glowed with a huge screen looping Pacha ICONS visuals, which was bright, animated, and impossible to ignore. I didn’t have the energy to go out that first night, so I ordered in and told the kitchen to surprise me. Twenty minutes later, a knock on the door. Dumplings, a wood-fired pizza, and a perfectly chilled Chardonnay. Somehow, they’d read my mind. I ate on the balcony, listening to the sound of cars below and faint music from somewhere along the beach. The jetlag, the food, and that quiet hum of the city blended into something strangely grounding. The next evening was when the trip really started. British DJ and record producer, PAWSA, was headlining Pacha ICONS at Playa Pacha Dubai, and by 11 pm, the property had transformed. People poured in from every direction — all black outfits, slick hair, flashes of silver jewelry. The air smelled like perfume and sea salt. We were guided to the DJ booth, and from there the view stretched across a sea of iPhone 17s and raised hands. The crowd looked straight out of a campaign– polished but not stiff, and completely in sync with the music. PAWSA came on close to midnight, and the first drop cut clean through the air. He mixed Frank Ocean’s “Nights”, The Weeknd’s “Timeless”, and Metro Boomin monologues with his own tracks — “Dirty Cash (Money Talks)” and “Too Cool To Be Careless.” I left the booth halfway through to walk among the crowd, and the sound stayed crisp no matter where I stood.  When the set ended, nobody moved toward the exit; another DJ took over and we drifted straight to Paradiso. It was packed but not messy, low-lit with an amber and red glow that made everyone look like they belonged there. The bartenders worked quietly and fast, mixing drinks like it was choreography. The crowd had taste — you could tell by what they ordered, how they spoke to staff, how they didn’t need to shout over the music. The next morning came too soon, and with a slight headache. A Tesla shuttle was waiting to take us to FIVE Palm Jumeirah, and the city changed again the moment we crossed the bridge. If FIVE LUXE was adrenaline, FIVE Palm was exhale. White walls, calm water, palm trees everywhere. The property felt like an island of its own, more relaxed but just as polished. We spent the afternoon by the pool, trading sunscreen for sunglasses every few hours, music rolling in from a nearby cabana. By sunset, we made our way to Bohemia Beach Club for Bohemia Presents and a set by German music producer Purple Disco Machine. The lighting faded into gold as cocktails landed on every table. The crowd was looser here — more laughter, more bare feet in the sand. Dinner was at Cinque, the Italian fine-dining restaurant overlooking the pool. It smelled like truffle and fresh herbs the moment we walked in. The room glowed in warm light, and every course arrived exactly when it should — handmade pasta, grilled seafood, pizza with a crust that cracked just right. My final night before flying back to Mumbai felt like the encore I didn’t know we needed. We started at Jade, where the bartenders turned cocktail-making into performance art — smoke, flame, infusions, tiny glass domes being lifted like a reveal. The energy there was playful and cinematic. Then came dinner at Maiden Shanghai, and it was unreal. Easily the best Asian food I’ve had — perfect dim sum, spicy noodles, balanced sauces. You could feel the precision in every dish. We closed the night at The Penthouse Dubai, which sits high above everything else. The DJ played familiar songs stripped down and rebuilt with clean house beats. The skyline looked endless, and the air was cool enough to keep everyone outside till late. The mornings at Numâ became a ritual. No matter how little I’d slept, I made it downstairs for breakfast — hummus, fresh fruit, good coffee, and conversations that always started with “did you sleep?” and ended with “see you at the pool.” By the time I packed up to leave, my suitcase felt heavier, maybe from the sand I never shook out or just from how much the weekend had fit into so little time. I’d flown to Dubai for one show and ended up with a full weekend that reminded me why people travel for music in the first place. The set was unforgettable, sure. But the real memory was everything that happened around it — the laughter, the food, the mornings after, and that feeling that the city never really turns the volume down. Read More

Entertainment Monsta X leans into melancholy and vulnerability with ‘Baby Blue,’ embracing a quieter, more introspective tone. Monsta X. Photo: courtesy of Starship Entertainment. Monsta X, the “beast idols,” are back with “Baby Blue,” but this time they trade in their signature sound for a slower burn of quiet intensity. For Monsta X, 2025 has been very special, as after over two years of mandatory military service keeping them apart, all the members—Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M.—finally reunited, and just in time for their 10th anniversary. Commemorating the moment, the K-pop icons released the compilation album Now Project Vol. 1, followed by the digital single “Do What I Want,” their thirteenth EP, The X, and now their English single, “Baby Blue,” adding a new chapter to their music, their story, and their journey together. Speaking of the newest, “Baby Blue” is apparently for Monbebe’s (Monsta X’s fandom name) around the world and for anyone who has a thing for love ballads. And because it’s entirely in English, the song’s nostalgia and its emotions definitely resonate a bit more. Very easy on the ears, “Baby Blue” flows with smooth synths, beautiful melodies, and, of course, Monsta X’s emotive vocals, recalling memories and reminding you of love’s bittersweet farewell. The lyrics subtly narrate the story of love that’s fading like a Polaroid picture. “You dance like I remember, baby “blue”—the lyrics cut deep, evoking the memories of love that’s lost now. It’s a feeling we’ve all been through, right? This wistfulness persists within you even after you’ve moved on. Lines such as “Are we living in the past? Just so we can make it last…” expresses that longing and that resignation that define this emotional essence. Musically, “Baby Blue” is a beautiful addition to their previous English releases, including “Who Do U Love?” (feat. French Montana), “Middle Of The Night,” “Play It Cool” (with Steve Aoki), and “You Can’t Hold My Heart,” while also speaking to Monsta X’s evolving sound. The song’s calm yet confident tone, layered with delicate R&B and electronic sounds, is like a balanced mix of fire and ice, a jam that you listen to and say, “This one’s lit.” The music video is a visual mise-en-scène of black and blue and subdued colors, underscoring the ache and sentiments while symbolizing a rite of passage – one of change and rebirth. The theme of “Revival” resonates throughout, with fragments of blue light and scenes dissolving into brightness, reflecting the wounds of farewell and the quiet renewal that follows. It’s a stunning cinematic display of the song’s theme as well as Monsta X’s creative vision and narrative depth. Read More

Entertainment The U.K.-based sarod artist recently wrapped up a multi-city tour and is building performances around climate change, artisans and an ode to his Bengali roots London-based, Mumbai-born artist Soumik Datta. Photo: Courtesy of the artist London-based sarod artist and composer Soumik Datta is spending about seven months in India this year, more than he ever has before. Part of a tour called Melodies in Slow Motion, it’s a conscious shift towards performing more in the country, including his recent Travellers set, which just wrapped up with six shows, including the Ziro Festival in September. This time, Datta, who was born in Mumbai, says it feels more like coming home. “When you live in a city like London, you forget that the multicultural-ness of it is amazing, but somewhere underneath all the layers, you’re very aware of not being white.” As soon as he steps off the plane in India, “that suddenly disappears.” He adds, “There’s a sense of ease and freedom.” These statements could well be motivated by all the anti-immigrant, anti-multicultural rhetoric that’s very much present in countries in the West. It very much emerges in Datta’s concerts with the Travellers, the band he put together after a residency at Mumbai’s G5A earlier this year. Through voice samples that invoke ‘Not My President’ protests against U.S. President Donald Trump to the people of Gaza, to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s A Tryst With Destiny speech about Indian freedom, and scientist Robert Oppenheimer reflecting on his work on the atom bomb, there’s a clear statement in the self-described “ear cinema” of the show. With Carnatic violinist Sayee Rakshith, tabla artist Debjit Paitundi, and percussionist and mridangam artist Sumesh Narayanan, the band weaves between Carnatic and Western phrases, the combination of rhythms from tabla, cajon and darbuka making it even more global-sounding. In the set, Datta also engages with the bhajan “Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram,” a melody “that stood for empathy and secularism,” which his mother took with her when she moved out of India in 1995. Soumik Datta and the Travellers. Photo: Shaunak Gosavi The Travellers—as well as other projects he’s working on, including one with textile craftspeople in Ahmedabad and the Bengal-inspired Mone Rekho—is a result of an “old-school documentary style” creative approach for Datta. “I wasn’t really working like this before in India. A lot of my work is in the West, and when I come here, it’s more about like watching other people’s shows, going to see what is being presented in India,” he says. Around three years ago, Datta was sparked into making the Travellers set, upon being asked “what are you interested in?” by a friend. “I think I said I was interested in storytelling, and in playing my instrument in a context that I felt was true. They were like, ‘Okay, so can you do those things through audio?’ It’s took me a long time for that to land,” he adds. As he built a bank of sound clips and music that he was inspired by, Datta began to understand the powerful and transportive nature of audio. In June at G5A in Mumbai, he got to expand on the audio design, presenting two shows and conducting workshops. It led to questions about the privilege that musicians have of “being included” and the common thread of musicians all having instruments they travel with, regardless of whether they’re in an orchestra or in an indie band. From grouses about traveling with instruments, Datta and his group got to talking about immigration. “We started talking about, ‘Why are you here?’ In some ways, it’s because your instrument is your passport to see the world,” he says. It formed the core idea of the Travellers set. There are times when the sonic metaphors take over, like in a piece where Rakshith and Narayanan are playing raga Surutti and Datta is playing raga Gorakh Kalyan. “There are lots of lovely similarities, but there are tensions and differences as well. I guess Sayee [Rakshith] is the migrant in that way, because I continue to stay in Gorakh Kalyan, and he starts in Surutti and shifts over very slowly to another raga called Andolika, which is closer to Gorakh Kalyan. Towards the end, he’s pretty much with me. So there is this sense of musical assimilation to reflect how a migrant might, over years, have to shift and change their personality,” Datta explains. Soumik Datta and The Travellers live during their G5A Residency in Mumbai in June 2025. Photo: Courtesy of G5A There’s another Travellers show at London Jazz Festival on Nov. 23 and then Datta heads to Singapore for a show with Paitundi for Mone Rekho on Nov. 28 in Singapore. More shows with the Travellers are in the works as well, in concert halls but also “very unusual spaces.” Datta notes, [Spaces] where you can blur the line more between performer and audience.”   In tandem, Datta is working on more subject matter that can intertwine with music to push audiences into thought and hopefully, action too. He’s working with juvenile detention centers for music workshops and performances, and a multi-city workshop about the impact of air pollution explored through field recordings and music. It will spawn an album as well but also a new live production in April 2026 that should take shape by the time this current tour ends. He says, “It’s really a climate piece, and it’s about interconnection. Everything needs air to be able to function and live. The production will then go on after that to tour in schools and become a sort of tool for teachers and parents to discuss interconnection and the environment with children.” Read More

Entertainment A group of British artists sent a statement to Prime Minister Keir Starmer to honor his pledge to tackle “extortionate and pernicious” resale websites Dua Lipa Tomas Cuesta/Getty Images A group of more than 40 British musicians, including Radiohead, Dua Lipa, and Coldplay, has signed a statement to the U.K. government asking Prime Minister Keir Starmer to honor his pledge to tackle “extortionate and pernicious” websites that resell concert tickets. In the statement, artists like Sam Fender, PJ Harvey, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Iron Maiden, New Order, and Nick Cave asked the government to take action against “secondary ticketing” platforms like Viagogo and StubHub. “For too long certain resale platforms have allowed touts to bulk buy and then resell tickets at inflated prices, forcing fans to either pay above the odds or miss out entirely,” they wrote. “This erodes trust in the live events sector and undermines the efforts of artists and organizers to make shows accessible and affordable.” The statement asks for a hard cap on resale prices to “help fix elements of the extortionate and pernicious secondary ticketing market that serve the interests of touts, whose exploitative practices are preventing genuine fans from accessing the music, theatre, and sports they love.” Other signees include organizations like UK Music, FanFair Alliance, and the Football Supporters’ Association. The letter, created in tandem with a study from consumer group Which?, notes that the end of for-profit resale would make it “easier for fans to spot illegal behavior” and would not encourage fans to seek resale tickets on less-regulated sites. “Today’s joint statement makes clear that artists, fan organizations, and consumers reject the broken ticketing market that has allowed touts to thrive for too long,” Lisa Webb, Which? consumer law expert, said in a statement alongside the letter. “The prime minister pledged to protect fans and a price cap on resold tickets will be a critical step towards fixing this industry, but he must commit to this legislation by including it in the next King’s Speech. Further reforms are also needed to ensure sellers actually own the tickets they advertise before listing them, that resale platforms ensure the identities of sellers and key information about a ticket are verified and that the new rules are effectively enforced.” Starmer’s Labour government promised during the last general election to cap ticket resale prices but hasn’t taken the necessary action yet. In January, the government launched a consultation on a cap amount that would limit the price increase to between zero and 30 percent on the face value of a ticket. A government spokesperson told the BBC, “This government is fully committed to clamping down on touts and is going further to put fans back at the heart of live events. We have carefully considered evidence provided in response to our consultation earlier this year and will set out our plans shortly.” Which? also released the results of a consumer study that took place in August and September. The organization looked into traders selling tickets for some of the biggest U.K. events on Stubhub and Viagogo. It found that many resale tickets were aggressively inflated in price. For instance, Oasis tickets for the band’s Wembley Stadium shows were listed for £3,498.85 on Stubhub and £4,442 on Viagogo. A ticket for the All Points East festival in London’s Victoria Park, headlined by Raye, was listed for £114,666 on Viagogo.

Entertainment The release marks the latest single from the ‘Brat’ architect’s forthcoming February album for the film Charli XCX New Single ‘Chains of Love’ Featured in ‘Wuthering Heights’ Trailer Paul Kooiker It’s a big week for Charli XCX and classic romance novel fans alike: The singer has released her second single in four days, “Chains of Love.” It follows the Nov. 10 release of “House” featuring the Velvet Underground’s John Cale. Both tracks will be on Charli’s forthcoming album Wuthering Heights, inspired by and soundtracking Emerald Fennel’s highly anticipated film adaptation of the famous book by Emily Brontë. The movie will hit theaters on Valentine’s Day 2026, and Charli’s album will arrive the day before, on Feb. 13. “Chains of Love” is featured prominently in the new Wuthering Heights film trailer, also released Thursday.  On “Chains of Love” Charli XCX is a tortured paramour, speak-singing, “I’d rather lay down in thorns/I’d rather drown in a stream/I’d rather light myself on fire/I’d rather wear all these scars/I’d rather watch my skin bleed/In the eye of your storm.” In the bombastic hook made even bolder in the movie trailer, Charli sings “My face is turning blue/Can’t breathe without you here/The chains of love are cruel/I shouldn’t feel like a prisoner.” It was produced by Finn Keane, who also made “Von Dutch,” “Sympathy Is a Knife,” and “Everything Is Romantic” with Charli. “Everything Is Romantic” was used in a September teaser for Wuthering Heights.  In the Wuthering Heights trailer, “Chains of Love” is fleshed out orchestrally while stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi fall in star-crossed love as Catherine Earnshaw, the wealthy daughter of master of the Wuthering Heights estate and Heathcliff, who her father took in as an orphan when they were children. Robbie’s appearance follows her starring role in September’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey opposite Colin Ferrel. Elordi most recently starred in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein this month.

Entertainment Yesterday, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to predict that Rizwan Sajan, the founder and chairman of Danube Group, will launch a tower named after Shah Rukh Khan at an event held in Mumbai on November 14. Our news break came to be true. SRK himself graced the occasion for the launch of the skyscraper, called Shahrukhz By Danube, and as expected, raised laughs and touched hearts with his quotes. Rizwan Sajan spoke highly of Shah Rukh and how he had a long chat with his wife on Zoom when he told her that she was ill. But the event went on another level when King Khan made an entry. HISTORIC: Dubai Tower named after Shah Rukh Khan, Shahrukhz By Danube, launched; to have a statue of King Khan; SRK says, “Meri maa zinda hoti toh bahut khush hoti!”; adds, “Eid ke chand ki tarah main bahar kam aata hoon. Lekin jab aata hoon, tab kamaal aata hoon!” Shah Rukh Khan warmly greeted Rizwan Sajan and gave a peck on the cheek to the host, Farah Khan. Farah joked, “I know you are all very jealous. Once more, please!” SRK smiled and kissed her cheeks again! Shah Rukh then said, “Main Eid ka chand jaisa ho gaya hoon. Bahar kam aata hoon. Lekin jab aata hoon, tab kamaal aata hoon!” As expected, there was applause and hoots. He revealed, “I asked Rizwan bhai if the event would be held in Dubai. He told me, ‘Nahin. Mera desh mere bahut kareeb hai. Hence, I want to launch it in Mumbai’. He meant it.” Rizwan’s son, Adel Sajan, Managing Director, Danube Group, then took over and explained the salient features of Shahrukhz By Danube. He revealed that it’s a 55-storey office tower. He added, “Not only do we have a helipad, but also an air taxi station. In 2026, Dubai will be introducing Air Taxi station and you could be entering in style in Shah Rukh’s tower!” Interestingly, the entrance of Shahrukhz By Danube will have a statue of Shah Rukh in his signature pose. Adel explained, “The idea is not just to have an office tower but my father’s vision was that he wanted it to be like a tourist destination. When my mother comes to Mumbai, the first thing she has to do is to go outside Mannat and take a picture. Likewise, millions of Indians go to Dubai. When we created Shahrukhz By Danube in the heart of Sheikh Zayed Road, we are anticipating that people are going to queue outside and take a picture with the King himself!” After the presentation, Shah Rukh Khan was asked for his reaction. The superstar was too overwhelmed and he said, “What can I say? Meri maa zinda hoti toh bahut khush hoti! It’s a very big honour. When I take my kids to Dubai, I’ll tell them, ‘Yeh dekh. Papa ki building hai’ although the building is owned by Rizwan bhai! Lekin naam toh mera likha hoga (smiles).

Entertainment After a long wait, the internationally acclaimed and deeply cherished film Chidiya is finally ready to spread its wings once again. Following its limited theatrical release on 30th May 2025, the film will now be available on Rent on Amazon this Children’s Day, bringing its tender story of dreams and innocence to a wider audience. Chidiya begins digital journey; now available on rent on Prime Video Directed by Mehran Amrohi and produced by Smiley Films LLP, Chidiya stars Amruta Subhash and Vinay Pathak in pivotal roles, alongside talented child actors Swar Kamble and Ayush Pathak. The film also features powerful performances by Inaamul Haq and Brijendra Kala, adding depth and authenticity to its world. The soulful music is composed by Shailendra Barve, with lyrics penned by Jitendra Joshi and Mehran Amrohi, while the film’s evocative visuals are beautifully captured through the lens of ace cinematographer Vikas Joshi. Since its festival journey began, Chidiya has quietly earned admiration from audiences and critics around the world. The film was showcased at several international festivals, where it was lauded for its tender storytelling, evocative visuals, and deeply human performances. Reviewers praised Chidiya for capturing the innocence of childhood with rare authenticity and emotional clarity. Its universal themes of resilience and imagination transcended language and geography, making it a beloved gem among audiences. The affection it received, now finds a homecoming moment as Chidiya reaches digital viewers in India and beyond. Chidiya unfolds in the heart of Mumbai, inside the narrow lanes and close-knit rooms of a humble chawl, where two young brothers — Shanu and Bua — learn to dream beyond their walls. Their discovery of cinema becomes a catalyst for transformation, pushing them to turn a forgotten junkyard into a badminton court. Through small joys and shared struggles, Chidiya becomes a celebration of community, creativity, and childhood resilience. At its heart lies a simple truth — that magic often hides in the mundane, and sometimes, even the smallest wings can carry the biggest dreams. For everyone involved, Chidiya has been more than just a film — it’s been a labour of love. From its first festival screening to this digital release, the journey reflects the same perseverance the film celebrates. Each person behind Chidiya carried the story with quiet pride, waiting for this moment when it could finally meet the audience it was meant for. Writer and Director Mehran Amrohi reflected on the long journey the film has taken to reach audiences worldwide: “It feels like life has come full circle for Chidiya. We made this film with so much love, never knowing how far it would travel. Today, knowing that people across the country can finally watch it makes me incredibly happy. It’s like sharing a part of our hearts with a much bigger family.” Vinay Pathak, who plays a key role in the film, shared his fondness for the project: “Chidiya remains one of the most special experiences of my career. The honesty of its story and the simplicity of its world touched something pure in all of us. I believe this is the kind of film that quietly stays with you.” Amruta Subhash, whose performance adds emotional gravity to the story, connected her personal sentiment to the film’s theme: “My bond with Chidiya feels like a mother’s bond with her children in the story — protective, hopeful, and deeply emotional. We poured our hearts into it, and I’ve always wished for Chidiya to get the love it truly deserves. This digital release feels like a second chance for that wish to come true.” Producer Faqhrul Husaini of Smiley Films LLP emphasized the film’s renewed reach: “During its theatrical run, many people in smaller towns couldn’t watch Chidiya due to limited screenings. With its OTT release, we’re ensuring that meaningful cinema like this reaches every corner — to those who value heartfelt storytelling and real performances.” For audiences who missed its theatrical run, Chidiya now arrives on Rent on Amazon as a film that speaks to the dreamer in everyone. It’s a story about finding courage in small beginnings and joy in the act of creation — a reminder that even in the most ordinary settings, extraordinary dreams can take flight.

The 2025 lineup includes celebrated names such as Bong Joon Ho, Guillermo del Toro, Andrew Dominik, Laurence Fishburne and Jodie Foster, placing Johar alongside some of global cinema’s most respected voices. Karan Johar to headline Marrakech International Film Festival’s Conversation series; Homebound secures gala screening This recognition comes amid a strong international run for Homebound, which has been chosen for a gala screening at the festival.
