1260 AM !!!! My Love for Bollywood Music :D

Coming from an Indian background has meant that I have grown to be very fond of Bollywood music. Not a day goes by when I don’t listen to a song from the extravagant world of Bollywood. From the fast paced, vibrant, and energetic songs that really get me dancing, to the slow, elegant love songs that really get me thinking, and everything in between, contemporary Bollywood is the type of music that really gets me in my zone. As Leicester is such a multi-cultural city, and home to a lot of families from an Asian background, the desi music scene has had a real opportunity to thrive in this diverse city.
All through my childhood, I can remember being in my mums car, and I would here “1260 AM, Sabras radiooo”. Sabras radio is seen by many has the pioneer for Asian radio in the UK, and its growing popularity has can be seen as an indication of the hunger for desi music genres. Its 1st broadcast was in 1976, with Sabras winning its own licence in 1994. It broadcasts throughout the east midlands, and some other cities in the Midlands.

To be completely honest, I'm not the best at keeping up to date with current songs and all so the songs I usually listen to are "old" (by old I mean they've been out for a few years). Dilli Wali Girlfriend for example is a song I'm particularly into right now (link below):

Love songs are also great-the gentle, elegant rhythms always put a smile on my face. Agar Tum Mil Jao, Ishqa Wala Love, are just a couple I like but my favourite has to be Lal Dupatta!! I could literally listen to that song for ages and not get bored <3

Just on a tangent, I find it odd that I love listening to Bollywood songs yet hardly watch Bollywood films...weird or?

You might be able to tell I'm new to blogging...hopefully my posts will get better once I get in the flow. Anyways, for now I'll just finish with Bollywood > Bhangra #MyOpinion :D

Why The Marvel Cinematic Universe Is One Of Cinemas Greatest Achievements

Image
A decade in review... When it comes to cinematic achievements, we often hear of the usual list: Citizen Kane (1940) for its innovative storytelling and narrative structure; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) for being the first ever feature length animated film; and Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) for its ground breaking use of visual effects. But throughout this past decade, we may have in fact witnessed the greatest one of all. I firmly believe we experienced one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, and that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU is a franchise of films produced by Marvel Studios, consisting of 23 films to date which all take place along the same timeline and in the same universe (but most of you probably knew that). Starting in 2008 with Iron Man, the series went on to produce some of the greatest comic book films of all time, and some of the best cinema we have seen in the past decade. The MCU has been immensely successful both f...

Avengers: Endgame Is Officially Top Of The World

Image
For a while it felt as though the film would fall just short, but now its official… Avengers: Endgame has become the highest grossing film of all time. The smash hit MCU finale finally passed Avatar ’s decade long total to reach $2.79bn this past weekend, capping off what has been an insane year for Marvel Studios. It’s a fitting testament to the amazing work everyone at Marvel Studios has done over the last 11 years, with Endgame being a worthy film for the top mantle. With such a massive opening weekend ($357m in North America and $1.2bn worldwide), a lot of us had assumed Endgame would stroll to the no.1 all-time spot, but instead it ended up being a close call, slowly chipping away each weekend. In Avengers: Endgame , we have witnessed box office history which we will not see matched for a very long time, and probably never to this scale and magnitude. The buzz for Endgame was monumental! In the first 2 weeks of its release, you couldn’t escape the Endgame …it was t...

Timelines, Run Times and More - All You Need To Know For Avengers: End Game

“ You Trust Me? I do ” WHAT A SCENE! Just as Steve Rodgers is shown putting his trust in Tony Stark , I am putting my full trust in Marvel to deliver the most extraordinary finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s crazy to think how far we have come, after 21 films and billions of box office dollars, the MCU will culminate with Avengers: End Game …and the wait is almost over. With less than a month to go, tickets for Avengers: End Game are now on sale! To announce ticket sales, Marvel released a one-minute trailer for the film (which you should have seen by now), showing off almost all-new footage and it looks AMAZING. There are reunions, tears, and some great narration, not to mention our first look at Thanos in this film. It looks like the Avengers are finally assembling. If you haven yet done so, watch the new footage below: With the film’s release edging closer, more and more news has been surfacing around the film. Marvel have done a great job with the ma...
