Episode 534

ON TODAY'S SHOW

Sammy Chand's Monday show opens Dhurandhar Week — four days inside the third-highest-grossing South Asian Cinema franchise of all time. The hour plants the week's central thesis in song. Sammy opens with Diljit's Morni — №1 on last week's chart — then drops the receipts: Na De Dil Pardesi Nu, the 1995 Punjabi folk classic by Muhammad Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur. Then the modern reinterpretation back-to-back — the Dhurandhar Title Track with Hanumankind, Jasmine Sandlas, and Shashwat Sachdev — and the audience finally hears the bones underneath the franchise's biggest song. From there the hour becomes a deep listen on Shashwat Sachdev's catalog. His work runs through six of today's tracks across registers — Gehra Hua with Arijit Singh, Lutt Le Gaya with Simran Choudhary, Naal Nachna with Afsana Khan and Reble, Ramba Ho with Madhubanti Bagchi and Bappi Lahiri, and the hour-closing Ez-Ez with Diljit and Hanumankind — the same trio that built the title track. Sammy also interviews Kubbra Sait in a substantial conversation in the middle of the hour, plus the Allstars: Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue, Meera Sharma on the Mindful Minute, Daniel Johnson from the UN, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight today on Shashwat Sachdev himself.

I'm wearing new headphones today, so it's kind of a
trip to hear myself. Not gonna lie the first ones
I had, you know, some bargain basement specials or whatever.
These ones are a little fancier, so I'm kind of
hearing myself in a different way. Hello, Hello, Hello, I
got a great week for you. We're doing something really special.

(01:29):
You know there's a film that came out a couple
of years back, and then the sequel to it came
out just several months ago. And I think these two
films have been really transformative for the Indian cinema industry.
I would even say industry saving. I'm talking about the
movies Thunder and The Under the Revenge. And what got

(01:53):
me really thinking about these films is the second film,
The Undered the Revenge, just came out on Netflix over
the weekend and I was there going through the Netflix
homepage and saw the film there and I was like, Oh,
this is incredible. Both the films are there and what

(02:13):
an impact they've made. So over these next four days,
we're gonna talk about it in light of the brand
new and deca version of The Render the Revenge. We'll
chop it up here about this film sequel. It's great.

Speaker 15 (08:07):
Long Basia mona myapar.

Speaker 7 (08:30):
Such a beautiful piece of work. And what I mean
by it kicked off the soundtrack. The song is the
inspiration behind the song. I think this generation really got
to Know, which is a song by an artist by
the name of Punjab b MC and the particular version
that he put together is one that we know and
we probably would have thought that really conjured the version

(08:53):
of the song. Here's the version from Punjab BIMC that
I'm referring to. Really, that's the Punjab BMC version of it.
The song called Na del de perdesi knu that was
remixed by Punjab BMC for that version, which, of course

(09:15):
now and it's brand new iteration has been taken on
by Shush What such dive a name that you will
hear over and over again here in this episode, in
fact all week long, because Shush what is the composer
behind all of this music that you're about to hear
from the Durunder one and two soundtracks. This song right

(09:36):
here is called Drunder the title track. It features two
huge artists in the moment. One is Jasmine Sandless and
the second is Hanuman Kind.

Speaker 14 (09:46):
Here's a track get Ready, I'm a King, but above
I must say they come me a bad man.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's a good dame. I'm as says way back the
best way So I met my Mama Brown, I mean
ye is ram I to forgive me. I can't forgive them.

Speaker 10 (10:01):
You know my history, you know what I did, what
I do now four hours.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Heaviest the head.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
It's a blessing and a curse. Up joking, up, joke.

(11:00):
The only bone's calling all. He's done it then, only
by them all, he's done it all. I'm a king
with above. Mis say, become a bad man.

Speaker 7 (11:20):
That's a good, good Dame, I said, swing back when
in the mess wing so I make my mamma brow
and I mean Israel.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Heavy's the head, Heavy's dead. Heavy's the head. It's the
blessed anticiz.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
Heavy's the head.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Heavy is the head. Heavy in the head.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
What such dev has cleanly put himself on the top
shelf of Indian cinema composers with these two films that
he has worked on. And that was the title track
that had us all riveted in the moment with a
collaboration as huge as Jasmine Sandless. How do mankind getting
together in the moment? And that kicked off what would

(11:57):
become the fever around these two films going forward. Now, folks,
let's bring in doctor Roy to the show as she
brings us a daily word on the avenue right here
on the bridge. How are you doctor Roy?

Speaker 16 (12:09):
Hey guys, this is doctor Roy Witde's word on the avenue.
In film and TV news, they're under the Revenge. Daring
renversingh has reportedly become a major success on Netflix right
after its theatrical performances, and according to a content creator,
it actually broke the platform servers in Pakistan within minutes
of the digital premiere due to the heavy demand from viewers.

(12:30):
Seems like that there under trend is going to go
global worldwide. In media news, at Monacow, cush Mani made
history with a commanding formula to victory for Dan's Lucas Oil,
marking the first time India's national anthem echoed on the
Monaco F two podium, now also serving as an Alpine
F one reserve driver Manny's milestone signals India's accelerating rise

(12:54):
in the world of global motorsport. An event nears at
age sixty, Millin's has once again pushed the limits of endurance,
completing a grueling fifteen kilometer open water swim across the
Strait of Jilbatar from Spain to Morocco. Widely regarded as
one of the toughest swimming routes due to strong currents
and unpredictable conditions. The feat has inspired fans worldwide. That's

(13:17):
it for today's Word on the Avenue until next time.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Thank you so much, doctor Roy, Thank you very much
for that. You know, part of the soundtrack that really
has stuck out to me, and particularly now we're still
talking about the very first film were the big names involved,
and of course none bigger than this one. This is
Atijit Singh. The song is called gheta huamedy.

mindful sass minute right here on the bridge.

Speaker 11 (20:08):
How are you, Mira, Hey, Sammy, Hey everyone, Mira Sharma
here with your weekly dose of mindful sess helping you
stay self assured, spirited and strong. So I was back
on the red carpet IFLA over the past few days
and I asked some of the talent what their mindfulness
go tos are, and honestly, my biggest takeaway from everyone

(20:31):
was don't start your day by picking up your phone.
So this week's message is simple, when you wake up,
resist the scroll. Instead, do something else. Stretch your body,
drink some water, read a few pages off a book,
or just take a moment to be still. Try it
for a week and see the difference it makes to

(20:53):
your energy and your mindset.

Speaker 10 (20:56):
You've got this.

(24:36):

This song called produced by shush Whatsu's Dave and really
put a very minimalistic beat there and let del Gito
songs do his thing. Really well done there, as we
continue to pay tribute to the Dunder one and two

(24:59):
soundtrack and the films themselves. Now let's bring in Daniel
Johnson to the show.

Speaker 24 (25:05):
This is un News today with me Daniel Johnson. The
headlines Somalia's people face a real and credible risk of
famine and the Middle East crisis is making the situation worse.
A teams say, just as in Sudan, eight hundred and
twenty five thousand children could starve unless they receive help soon.

(25:25):
And in Ukraine, amid more Russian drone at missile strikes,
a UN convoy is hit twice will have the details.
At least six million people in Somalia are going for
days without enough food, with a real risk of famine.
UNA teams warned on Friday in an alert. They said

(25:46):
that nearly two million were young children at high risk
of illness or death. Somalia's rapidly intensifying hunger emergency is
worsening faster than expected, driven by severe drought combined with
flash flooding, in secure scurity, extremely limited humanitarian assistance, and
the ripple effects of conflict in the Middle East, with
supplied disruptions in the vital Strait of Hormuz with more

(26:09):
His You and Children's Fund spokesperson Ricardo pires.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
We depend a lot obviously on ready to use therapeutic
feeding to treat mal nourish children and with this projection
that was just mentioned, this is critical. It's a matter
of life or death for them. The cost of air
freight has increased significantly since the Middle East crisis, to
a point that it is of grave concern for US.

Speaker 24 (26:34):
Disease levels are increasing alongside malnutrition, but healthcare is no
longer available or stretched too thin by supply chain delays.
Originating in the Middle East. In twenty twenty two, famine
in Somali was only averted through massively scaled up and
sustained international support after one of the longest droughts on record.

(26:54):
A hunger crisis is also impacting Sudan, where agencies warn
that more than eight hundred thousand under five year olds
face near starvation conditions amid ongoing war. The problem is
that hunger is not only widespread, but it is deepening,
according to the UN World Food Program WFP. The agency
pointed to ongoing mass displacement caused by the conflict between

(27:17):
Sudan's rival militaries, which has exhausted people's ability to feed
themselves and any coping mechanisms they had. Humanitarians also continue
to be attacked, said WFP's Ross Smith.

Speaker 25 (27:30):
We are ready to do more, however, we plan to
do with the low reality start funding spiral or what
is required, and access to the most vulnerable must be
improved and for that the fighting must start.

Speaker 24 (27:41):
Nearly nineteen and a half million people now face crisis
levels of hunger in Sudan with multiple areas at risk
of famine in the coming months. The UN and humanitarian
partners continue to help people in need across Sudan. These
include nearly eighty eight thousand people in South Quarterafan State,
including South Sudanese refugees, displaced people, and host communities who've

(28:03):
received water and sanitation support. To Ukraine, where in addition
to continuing large scale attacks by Russia in the capital
and in western and central areas, a UN humanitarian convoy
has come under fire twice. One strike in Kharkiv injured
many civilians who had been going to work on Thursday.
It also damaged homes and a shelter for displaced people.

(28:25):
The UN convoy targeted twice had been delivering essential support
to people in Hassan with the help of Ukrainian authorities.
The first drone strike hit as the AID convoy entered Ostrev,
an area that has not received assistance for months. The
second drone strike happened while the eight team was distributing
relief items, badly damaging a clearly marked UN vehicle. What

(28:47):
it means is that humanitarians are not safe, as well
as many Ukrainians. Although the essential work of providing assistance
must continue, insisted Dr Jano Habot from the un Weld
Health Organization.

Speaker 23 (28:58):
Every fifth attack is against ambulances and medical transport, so
those who are going to save others are actually putting
their lives in risk.

Speaker 24 (29:08):
Every day, since the full scale Russian invasion on the
twenty fourth of February twenty twenty two, two hundred and
thirty nine health workers have been killed and nine hundred
and ninety one injured. Daniel Johnson, You and News.

Speaker 7 (29:21):

Speaker 7 (35:20):
And folks, let's bring in Coobra Satan into the show.
How are you Coobra?

Speaker 23 (35:37):
You doing? Thanks for calling me? What time?

Speaker 7 (35:42):
Well, you've been busy. You've been putting together one of
my favorite shows out there right now. And I and
and listen, I've just been you know, every morning before
I go in the airh on a Thursday morning, I'm
like late getting on the air because I'm just listening
to the last second of your show right before I
hit record on my thing. So it's been one of
my favorite Thursday Morning but Coopra, you know, I wanted
to ask you it's been for me as an audience

(36:05):
member listening in and watching you guys, it just seems
like such a fun time being a part of that show.

Speaker 23 (36:13):
It is so much fun because it's so insane. Like
I'm a firm believer of like a world without strangers, right,
I mean, why it's so hard for us to just
HAVEPPI with conversations, a big conversations instead of navigating our
way through like small dogs. And I think that's what
Indian Standard Time is doing, because it's really like, you know,

(36:36):
for the common uh, you know, for like common knowledge,
Like you know, people would be like, oh maybe us
at Oberoi in Kubra State, live in the same city,
are a part like the same industry, so they probably
know each other. And the truth is we don't we
really ever meet.

Speaker 7 (36:54):
We don't know each other adults.

Speaker 23 (36:56):
Yama, I've never met personally Mona. I have only ever
met her online. Like it's only after we started the show,
is when I think we all started following each other
on Instagram and knowing about what we do or whereabouts,
Like I learned that drama was going for his honeymoon

(37:18):
for the first time after so many years of being married.
And this is so cool, right, Like, it's just insane.
It's it's beautiful, it's inclusive, it's curious, it's funny. It's
shocking how our mind's like, you know, like remember stuff.

(37:39):
It's incredible. I think I'm having such a great time
jamming with my three other co hosts, and I'm getting
to know them at such a personal level, at such
a deep personal level. But what I also find interesting
is that there are no boundaries right the east and
the West. Yes, there are no boundaries. It's like so

(38:03):
boundary agnostic, because hey, this is why I'm like, I
love it when like my friends now when they called
me out and they say, like, ha ha, you don't
know anything about pod concert. Yes I know, but you're here,
so educate me.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
That's so funny, you know. I feel like that. I
feel like I'm watching four new friends. Like, at least
for me as a listener, I feel like I'm, you know,
making friends with four new individuals. But you know, we
forget the four of you guys are also getting to
know each other, and it's playing out on the air
the first four episodes have been really focused on the

(38:40):
individual stories of each of you, and now as we
move in beyond that, I think the show really opens
up in a way where now that you've got to
know each other, the focus has been, you know, on
you individually. But now I feel like the free for
all will begin and I'm excited to hear that. Listen,
I know that you've you've probably take the next episode
for us us. You know, where is it that this

(39:02):
show is going in terms of your relationship with yourselves
and also the audience?

Speaker 23 (39:08):
Yeah, and you know the beauty is that I think
all four of us are curious to find out because literally,
like there are days honestly when we get together on
our like recording portals and we go like, so, what
are we going to talk about today? Then maybe this
is what we should talk about. What are your grand ideas?

Speaker 25 (39:28):
You know what?

Speaker 23 (39:29):
I like that idea better than this idea? Oh my god,
can we just like see these ideas even together? It's
insane and it's so fun to talk to like three
other chapel boxes. I think the first big challenge of
our show when we were recording like the first few episodes,
honestly was like, oh my god. We were so excited

(39:50):
to talk over each other.

Speaker 7 (39:52):
Sure, sure, really to contribute, and.

Speaker 23 (39:55):
Then we were like, okay, we need to learn how
to shut up. We shouldn't be talking over each other.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
Yeah, you got you know, let's talk about this. You know,
you're such an accomplished actor. You're on all kinds of
different sets over there, and now you're doing something completely different.
We're sticking a microphone in front of you and you're
talking about yourself. You're not portraying specifically another character. What's
that adjustment like for you?

Speaker 23 (40:22):
I acuity have never ever loved anything more than being
my authentic self. And authenticity so like, I don't know what.
It's such a simple thing, but sometimes I find it
so overstated, and I'm like, isn't that the most basic
thing that one should just bring to your own life?

(40:43):
And when someone's being authentic, you're like giving them gold
medals for it, and I'm like, dude, it's true. How
breaking hard is that? But like, I think being an
actor has actually made me kinder to myself and kind
there's the world around me. And in fact, it was
just talking about it to another really close friend. This

(41:05):
evening being an actor just you know, I mean just
look at everything that I have worked in as an actor,
and most of it, all right, would be like your bold,
you're strong, you die in every first season or something
like that, right, Like there is no gentleness or softness.

(41:26):
But as a human being, as like I'm not kidding you,
like I'm discovering feminity all over again, like just you know,
just being around and it's so nice to just embrace
your feminity. It's so fun to embrace your silliness. It's
so fun to just embrace who you are and and

(41:49):
to just be hurt for who you are. I think
that's what we're exploring in this show, where you know,
we can make fun of our own cultures, we can
be more obsor events towards our own culture. Is we
are able to see how incredible and large hearted our
culture is, how inclusive our culture is. There is so

(42:11):
much that comes to the full strite, right, It's amazing.
And all of us have our journeys. And the funny
thing is that when we talk about journeys where it's
professional person, it's always ongoing, right, So.

Speaker 25 (42:28):
I love that.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
About you guys. You guys are kind of playing out
your your real life careers. And as I mentioned to you, you,
of course, actor, the other members of this team are
all very accomplished individuals doing different things in their own
individual spaces, and one of the favorite things of mine
listening in on this. Of course, making four new friends
as a listener is one thing, and then also watching

(42:50):
the four of you guys make this bond amongst the
four of you. But then you have this very unique
vantage point of listening to these individuals bring so much
knowledge and virtue from their own backgrounds to this conversation.
And you hear it. It's it's got a lot of
that in there.

Speaker 23 (43:07):
Yeah, because we've all had experiences which make us unique,
right right and there our right experiences or wrong experiences,
These are just experiences and we went through them. And
the least we can do is honor ourselves for staying
alive with so many experiences. Straight up, Oh my god,

(43:31):
we haven't survived this apocalypse. We're surviving this apostolip so
why not?

Speaker 19 (43:37):
You know?

Speaker 23 (43:38):
It's fun like times are changing, laws are changing, got
big shifts in the world we don't know, but we
are grappling with uncertainty all the time, and yet you know,
there is just such a lot part of the world
that is connected, you know, to each other through music, films,

(44:00):
through this culture and podcast art and that's podcast and
just art. I feel it's such such soft clean right,
like we can make anything out of it. And I
think life can be treated with art sometimes. And if
we can put our life into a podcast, call it art,
call it a medium of entertainment, why not that seasons?

Speaker 9 (44:24):
Just don't kill me.

Speaker 7 (44:28):
Coobra. All right, on that note, we're going to make
sure that you get don't get killed off in the
first season of IST. You know, there's no that's so funny.
H before I let you go. You know, today I'm
in the middle of I'm doing a whole special this
week long on the movie Donder did you ever get
a chance to see it? And the Revenge you Don't
get me started?

Speaker 23 (44:50):
Don't get me started. I love that film.

Speaker 7 (44:52):
It is so good.

Speaker 23 (44:53):
Oh my god, I love one I love too. I
watched One Wife and I think that was pretty obsessive.
I must tell you, I have my closest friend here
in India who's watched it eighteen den. I was like,
did you not understand it? The first seventeen times, did

(45:14):
you not get it that everything is this fie? Wasn't
that hard for you to devote? But I watched one
and then I went and watched it, and in fact
one I went and watched it in the theater alone
because I think I had passed the due date of
watching it with friends and everyone had watched it. And
then when The Revenge came out, I went to watch

(45:37):
it with my mom, which is like the most hilarious
part of watching the film, because my mom watched it
with like both rice shots. I was like, Mom, this
is a movie. It's all your visual so we need
to see the visuals.

Speaker 7 (45:49):
Well, you need to tell her.

Speaker 9 (45:50):
To go see this.

Speaker 7 (45:51):
There's a brand new unedited version that Netflix just put up,
and so I'm I was just riveted by it. I
was like, oh my god, this is a hold them song,
a whole new scene. So I'm not going to tell
you about it. You you definitely need to go check
it out. When if you did see The Revenge, but
it's got a whole new scene in there, so go
see it.

Speaker 23 (46:09):
Really. Oh my god, Okay, now you're going to make it.

Speaker 7 (46:14):
Oh my god.

Speaker 23 (46:15):
Okay, I'm excited, but I think everything changed for me
when this is saying, and you know, the one scene
that I can't get out of my head is when
he shoots the character that's speed, I got of data
and then he says.

Speaker 7 (46:33):
God, God, get such a great line.

Speaker 25 (46:39):
God.

Speaker 23 (46:40):
I sort of walk into my house and I see
that to my cat. I don't make good skip my cat.
So like this person's lost.

Speaker 7 (46:49):
Uh, Coobra, such a great time hanging out with you,
as much fun as I knew it would be. Always
great talking to you and the fabulous and wonderful Coobra
say nice talking to Thank you Sammy.

Speaker 24 (50:46):
Hi, everyone, this is Dada Suta.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
You're rokas Avne radio music correspondent back with another artist spotlight.
Today we're spotlighting Shashwat Sachte, the award winning Indian composer,
producer and sound designer who's become one of Bollywood's most
innovative musical voices. Known for blending cinematic orchestration with electronic
and hip hop influences. Shashwat first gained major recognition for

(51:10):
his work on Uri the Surgical Strike, and since then
has built a reputation for creating emotionally charged, high impact
soundtracks in twenty twenty five, he scored one of the
years most talked about albums, and you guys already know
that it's throunder, delivering standout tracks at garunder title track
a Gera, Hua, Sharaharat and Nal Natchna, which quickly became

(51:32):
streaming favorites and sparked major buzz among fans. The soundtrack's
success carried into twenty twenty six, with listeners praising its
mix of retro inspiration and modern production, helping Simmon Shashwat
as a bold creative force in film music. He's also
continued releasing new material this year, including fresh versions like
ikedu He Low Fi Mix, showing his versatility beyond film

(51:55):
scoring with the sound that bridges tradition and experimentation, and
co operations with artists across Bollywood.

Speaker 9 (52:02):
And hip hop.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Such What Such Death keeps pushing boundaries, proving he's not
just composing songs but shaping the evolving sound of contemporary
Indian cinema.

Speaker 9 (52:12):
Well that's all from me. Stay tuned for more only
on Ruckus Avenue Radio.

Speaker 7 (52:16):
Yeah, you know, standing ovation to shut what such them.
He's about as responsible as any of the cast members
for making this film a success. Really you can quote
me on back.

Speaker 31 (52:28):
This song is called Girls like the Party, Like the
bet was dub dub du dah shaddy, Let me beg so.
But the girls like the party like the bet was
dub dub dub dah shaddy, Let me beg.

Speaker 32 (52:42):
So Hardy Davanni, you must be your muscifize, Hendy Deavani,
Harry de Vanni must be too mussurtized Harry Davanni.

Speaker 9 (53:02):
Turn up, man turn.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Turn out?

Speaker 33 (53:10):
And then why why why don't we look up for
each other when the sun goes down, saying with serender
when the sirensupt from Like the city is Gonnaford if
we slowed down now just be like we might not
be give what the dice.

Speaker 34 (53:28):

Speaker 23 (54:31):

Speaker 9 (54:34):
Turn out and turnout.

Speaker 7 (54:43):
No nothing a great track, right, there, folks, We're gonna
do something.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
You know.

Speaker 7 (54:48):
I want you guys to go on a journey with
me this week. What we'll do tonight, I want everybody
to go home and watch under the very first one again.
It's available on Netflix. Go give it a watch. And
what we'll do is tomorrow we'll talk about it together
and then tomorrow night I'll ask you to watch the

(55:10):
second one, the brand new under Cut on Netflix as well,
and we'll talk about that on Wednesday. This song is
called Bajo.

Speaker 19 (56:11):
Not not.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Me to Carty lookate nikis Lggy Ramstam.

Speaker 9 (56:28):
Ramstammustom who.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Sho starts a.

Speaker 7 (56:58):
Shining Ram Bajo Shasha TOUCHDV Madhu Banti Bachi and of

(57:29):
course a big ode and a big shout out to
the great late Buppy the Buffy La Harry on that
song right there. You know, I've watched Bollywood confidence rise
and fall on a five year cycle. The last five
years were brutal. I had executives and major labels telling

(57:49):
me Hindi Cinema was over. I had producers telling me
the audience moved to streaming and wasn't coming back. I
had agent telling me their clients take TV deals because
the theater wasn't going to survive, and then Adityadar made
a film that reminded everybody what a movie is supposed
to feel like. The Runder grossed in December, the Revenge

(58:13):
grossed in March. These three hundred and sixty million dollars
between the two and then Saturday, Netflix drops the unextended,
un deca version of Part two internationally, and the conversation
that was happening at every label meeting in Mumbai a
year ago about whether Bollywood was finished, that conversation just

(58:35):
kind of ended. But the part of this story that
doesn't get told often and often enough is that the
music did the load bearing work. The film walks because
the score and the songs carry it, and the title
track of the whole franchise, Hanu Mankind and Jasmine Sandlists
trading verses over a beat that feels like twenty twenty five,

(58:57):
is built on a nineteen ninety five Panjab be folk
classic that almost nobody under forty even knows. The biggest
Hindi film of the year sits on a thirty year
old folk record. Folks watch Drunder tonight, listen for that
song It's hiding in plain Sight. Tomorrow, on this show,

(59:17):
we decode the part one of this two part series.
Here's Deljit Dosange have a great day, everybody.

Speaker 10 (59:28):
