Scored by Pritam, Zamaana Lage is a melodious creation sung by Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh. The number has been built around Indian poet Qaisar Ul Jafri's poignant line, " Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage", with additional lyrics contributed by Sandeep Shrivastava.
Music director Pritam said, "With Qaisar Ul Jafri's timeless poetry, we wanted to revive the ghazal as a form - not as nostalgia, but as something emotionally alive and relevant today, and bring it into the mainstream. With its rich history and timeless depth, we felt it doesn't always have to live in a classical soundscape. A ghazal can be pop - it can be modern in sound and structure, while still holding on to its poetic soul. That's what we've tried to do with this song, reimagine the ghazal for today's generation."
The full song will drop on May 28, 2025.
Following Life in a... Metro, Ludo, now Metro...In Dino is the third and final chapter of Anurag Basu's trilogy.

We miss you: Subhash Ghai remembers Irrfan Khan

ANI 29 Jun 2025, 21:12 GMT+10 Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 29 (ANI): Filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently took a trip down memory lane as he remembered the late actor Irrfan Khan. Ghai shared an old photo from an award ceremony with the actor, along with an emotional note that quickly caught the attention of fans online. In the photo, Ghai and Irrfan can be seen smiling. Ghai, who worked with Irrfan in the film 'Right Yaa Wrong,' took to his Instagram account to share a post praising him not just as an actor but as someone who deeply understood the art of storytelling. He wrote, 'I have always been more in admiration of good and great actors than just cosmetic stars of any time. Good actors enhance storytelling--stars play stars to glitter the film. I was more happy to receive compliments from Irrfan than an award at an award function. So, I remember this picture vividly. We miss you, Irrfan.' Take a look Irrfan Khan is considered one of the best actors in the Indian film industry. The legendary Indian actor made his debut with the Oscar-nominated Hindi film Salaam Bombay! and went on to star in some of the most critically acclaimed films in India like Life in a... Metro, The Lunchbox, and Hindi Medium. However, the actor's success was not confined to the boundaries of India. He performed exceptionally well in several international projects, which garnered him significant recognition abroad and put him on the map of world cinema. Irrfan died at a Mumbai hospital on April 29, 2020. He was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor and lost his life to it. (ANI)

Vinod Kambli is part of Yorkshire folklore, his former teammates worry about him

In Yorkshire they still remember Vinod Kambli, the next big Indian batsman of the 90s who now epitomizes the frightful consequences of young cricketers failing to handle fame and fortune. The time Sachin Tendulkar earned the right to be the first overseas cricketer to call Headingley his home county and hit global headlines, his friend Kambli, yet to make his Test debut, was playing for a small club around there, making waves and friends for life. Many years later, those who played with him and against the mercurial stroke maker here back in the day, have read media reports about his alcohol addiction, watched his struggles to speak in interviews, keep asking that one question: 'What happened to Kambli?' Nasa Hussain is the head groundsman at Park Avenue ground in Bradford, an area dominated by those with roots in Pakistan and India. He, like Kambli, is in his 50s now. In the early 90s, they were young cricketers with dreams. Kambli was 19 but he had the swagger of a Test veteran. 'As a South Asian, Sachin joining Yorkshire was big news. I'll tell you what was better, he brought along with him his friend Vinod Kambli, who played in our league. I've never-ever met a person who hits the ball as hard as he used to,' he says. Nasa still remembers the first ball he bowled to him. 'He just runs down the track and hits the first ball for six, and you think, 'well okay'. Young man from India, never seen before, never heard of before, and he just comes and smashes it. Subsequently, he went on to score two double-hundreds against England. That was some talent,' he says before seamlessly switching to a rueful tone. 'In today's day and age, that guy would have been a multi-millionaire.' Kambli is part of Yorkshire's folklore, he is that enigmatic character, whose life story provokes both disbelief and regret. As with all colourful characters, it is the anecdotes that act as bricks in the building of a myth. Solly Adam, the man responsible for hosting and bringing close to 400 sub-continent players to England, has many of them. He isn't an agent but a businessman with passion for cricket and kindness. He was also the captain of the team that Kambli played for. At one point, Solly was playing host to about 10 to 15 Indian cricketers at his home. Many were staying there; others had made a habit of dropping by for meals. With the money from the club not much, most had day jobs – some working at Solly's fuel station, factory or shopping centre. Over to Solly. 'One day we were sitting, 10 cricketers. All of them had part-time jobs except for Vinod and Sachin. So a cricketer from Mumbai asked Vinod – 'Since you only earn 25 pound a match, why don't you work at one of Solly's places? Kambli didn't think for a minute, pat came his reply: 'Me and Sachin will make money playing Test cricket, I don't want to divert my attention doing part-time jobs.' That was exceptional, what confidence. He was very young, far from being a Test batsman but he had the confidence,' recalls Solly. Solly says he has dedicated a chapter on Kambli in his book Beyond Boundaries. It's a treasure trove of cricketing yarns that makes Kambli's batting flamboyance and his rocky life beyond the field jump out of the pages. It was on the advice of his friend, the great Sunil Gavaskar, that Solly had signed Kambli for Spen Victoria cricket club. When the Mumbai boy landed at the club, he didn't make a great first impression. Kambli was a frail teenager, his frame didn't give any hint of a hard-hitter hidden inside him. 'His arms are like chicken legs,' said one member. Soon the impression would change. In a game, he took the Yorkshire and England player Paul Grayson to the cleaners, forcing the all-rounder to take himself out of attack. Grayson would later confide to Solly that he had a Yorkshire game coming and with a youngster hitting his best balls outside the ground in a club game, he didn't want to shatter his confidence. Kambli's brilliant inaugural season got him a bonus of 700 pounds, a King's ransom in the 90s. Solly would travel to Mumbai and hand over the money to Kambli's father, who said he hadn't even seen that kind of money, Solly writes in his book. 'However, Vinod, when he returned to India, took all the money from his father and spent it with his friends … Vinod never cared about money, nor did he have any respect for commodities'. In his book, Solly writes that his tears well-up when he thinks about 'the tragic story of the bright child.' It pains him since Kambli would often refer to Solly in the English media as his 'father figure'. The final paragraph of the Kambli chapter is a helping hand to an old friend. 'I have attempted several times to contact Vinod, but unfortunately, I have not received any response from him. If by chance Vinod gets to see this at least, I want him to know we have a lot of love for him … Vinod, we all miss you, my dear!'
