#SHOWBIZ: Indian classical rhythms to grace DFP stage
FRESH from its presentations of Mek Mulung Putera Cahaya Bulan, Randai Mudo Pak Belalang, Jit Sin High School's Chinese Orchestra and Sanggar Seni last year, Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP) will present soul-stirring rhythms and colours of Indian performing arts by the Temple of Fine Arts (TFA) at 8pm on Sept 6. The highly anticipated showcase promises an immersive journey into the heart of Indian culture. MELODIES Audiences will be transported to a unique experience through the soulful melodies of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music. Adding a vibrant visual splendour to the evening, the DFP stage will come alive with exquisite presentations of four classical Indian dances, 'bharatanatyam', 'odissi', 'kathak' and 'kuchipudi'. The theme "Ragas and Mudras" is specially curated for this performance at DFP. FRAMEWORK 'Ragas' is essentially a melodic framework or a "mode" in Indian classical music, a combination of notes ('swaras') along with phrases and nuances ('gamakas'). 'Mudras' is a symbolic ritual gesture, primarily performed with the hands, fingers, the entire body or even eye movements. The word 'mudra' is a Sanskrit word which means 'mark' or 'gesture'. YOUTH Founded in 1981, TFA is an organisation dedicated to the development and inculcating Indian arts and culture among the youth. It has presented more than 20 major productions and 300 short works, including explorations of different cultural themes. TFA has staged its productions in tours around the world, including Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. It has also received recognition and support from the government, and has performed at many major official events, including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit and the Commonwealth Cultural Festival, all in 1998. It has also won many accolades at the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards. GRATEFUL The special performance by TFA is part of the DFP Seni Festival extravaganza which includes Mistik Pura Masyrik (a performance of enticing East Coast legendary folktales on Aug 9) and Sanggar Seni (a collection of music, dance and songs at the DFP foyer presented free from Sept 5 to 7). In a recent interview, the show's music director, Prakash Kandasamy, said: "We are very grateful to DFP for bringing our dancers and musicians centrestage. "Our show has two parts for classical music and dance, each section is 45 minutes." Prakash added that the four dance styles were taught in TFA, and each will have 20 dancers. "All students learn different things and do not confine themselves to one genre." MPYO The TFA musicians are aged from 20 to 55, and the dancers are aged from 18 to 35. Prakash said TFA first performed in DFP in 2012 with the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra or MPYO. "We've got 20 musicians and dancers, and they are all rehearsing daily." VOCALISTS Music director Jyotsna Nithyanandan said: "The DFP is greatly helping promote our work and we are delighted to perform in this state-of-the-art venue." She added that there will be six musical instruments in the showcase, as well as two main solo vocalists and five supporting vocalists. "They will show audiences the beauty of Indian classical music and dance, in ensemble and solo acts." Jyotsna said one of the less-known but stylishly beautiful classical instruments featured was the 'veena', a traditional string instrument. "All of us have had a lot of fun working on this and discovering new things to perform," she said, adding that there will also be a piano accompaniment to give the concert a modern touch. VIBRANT One of the main dancers, Kishore Krishnan, said each item was 10 minutes long, and there will be six to 10 dances. "What we teach is what is presented, and it will be a vibrant and colourful evening," he said. "Best of all, our performances are Malaysianised, combining Indian cultural elements with Malay and Chinese ones." MALAYSIA DAY DFP head of business and strategic relations management Effendy Khalid said it was an honour to have the TFA perform in DFP. "We focus on culture and heritage including cross cultural performances. "It is our aim to give a platform for such performances, especially in September, the month of Malaysia Day," he said, adding that the concert hall could accommodate 920 people.

#SHOWBIZ: Deepika Padukone first Indian honoured with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
MUMBAI: Actress Deepika Padukone has made history as the first Indian film star to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced yesterday, as reported by The Hindu, that Padukone is included in the Motion Pictures category for the Class of 2026. This places her alongside an impressive list of international names from this year, including Emily Blunt, Timothée Chalamet, Rami Malek, Rachel McAdams, Stanley Tucci, and Demi Moore. Deepika's selection marks a significant milestone, not only in her illustrious career but for Indian cinema as a whole. The announcement was made during a livestream event that celebrated the new inductees. With this recognition, Deepika joins a distinguished group of global entertainers who have truly left their mark on the film industry. Her inclusion is particularly notable as she becomes the first Indian performer to be granted this honour in the Walk of Fame's long history. Deepika has previously been acknowledged for her influence beyond film. In 2018, she was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people and later received the Time 100 Impact Award. She also made headlines in 2022 by unveiling the FIFA World Cup trophy at the final match in Qatar, another first for an Indian celebrity. Her global appeal has also led to partnerships with luxury brands Louis Vuitton and Cartier, making her the first Indian ambassador for both fashion houses. Deepika remains a major figure with a successful track record at the Indian box office. She is currently working on several high-profile projects, including an untitled film directed by Atlee, co-starring Allu Arjun. She is also expected to appear in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, although that project has not yet been officially confirmed. In a recent Instagram post, Deepika expressed her gratitude upon receiving the star, stating: "I'm so honoured and grateful for the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."

Chef Nobu serves famous miso cod with a side of inspiration in a new documentary
Chef Nobu in a scene from the documentary Nobu. - Photos: AP World-famous chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa– has been tantalising foodies for decades as he built his empire to include more than 50 upscale restaurants and several luxury hotels. The new documentary, Nobu, reveals the man behind the cuisine in an intimate look at how he found success, despite several major setbacks. The film traces Matsuhisa's journey to creating his unique fusion cuisine, blending traditional Japanese dishes with ingredients discovered while living in Peru. Matsuhisa, now 76, was driven to run his own restaurant but faced obstacles, including financial woes, doubters and a devastating fire at one of his first spots. Candid and sometimes emotional interviews with Matsuhisa are interspersed with mouthwatering shots of his "Nobu-style' culinary treats, made with a precision and standard of excellence his diners have come to expect. Nobu released widely on July 1. Director Matt Tyrnauer and the chef himself sat down to discuss his perseverance, creativity and influence on the culture. Answers have been edited for clarity and brevity. The documentary chronicles the struggles that Chef Nobu overcame to build his global brand. TYRNAUER: Nobu started as a graphic designer, and you can really see it in the plates. The totality of his vision for creating a new type of cuisine, which he calls "Nobu style,' or the signature dishes, was really interesting, but also the beauty of the presentation, which is so important. We had cameras everywhere - on the ceiling, we had them over the shoulder, and anything to kind of get the precision and the detail. At a certain point in the film, you see him correcting some of the chefs who work for him and it's a pretty tough process because he's a perfectionist. I wanted to show that. MATSUHISA: Even though my life was pain, but I learned from this pain. Also I learned lots and lots of love from people who supported me. So nothing is losing, in my experience. I'd like to say, at my age, I can say, I did my life. TYRNAUER: When he broke down on camera and couldn't stop crying, it was a big surprise. I didn't understand the true wound of the loss of Nobu's best friend, Sakai. I've interviewed a lot of people. I've never had anyone really be so emotional. I thought it was extraordinary and very beautiful, actually, and very honest. Nobu invited me to go see the grave of his dear friend who had taken his own life and the pain and the suffering that we see on camera is unexpected in a movie that you think is just going to be about great food and the artistry of being a chef. There's a soulfulness to it. MATSUHISA: I made the Nobu corporate teams. These teams that are traveling with me... they stand by at all the locations, and they set up, then they're training for the next generations. The Nobu teams keep growing like a family, and they (are) working there long times so they understand Nobu's quality, philosophy, the passions, how to do service. We have good teams. TYRNAUER: What I wanted to do was show the process and put that on display. Part of the secret to his success is that he's actually created a very civilised culture, and it comes from the top down. I think that's why he goes around the world like he does and visits all these restaurants and trains the chefs personally in his own style. But his own temperament is exemplary. MATSUHISA: I'm very glad because I didn't give up on my life. That's the message. Even (when) the young people has a problem, I like to say, "Don't give up. Just don't forget about the ambitions, passions and go step by step.'– AP
