Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira trailer: Fahadh Faasil goes full Ranbir ‘kaput' in Althaf Salim's potential laugh riot
Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira trailer: Although he has helmed only one film thus far — and that too about eight years ago — the impact Althaf Salim created with his directorial debut, the Nivin Pauly-starrer Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, was so powerful that Malayalam movie enthusiasts have since been rooting for his comeback. Despite never truly disappearing from the public eye and remaining active, winning hearts as a comedy actor known for his impactful one-liners, audiences had long been waiting for Althaf to don the director's hat again. Hence, ever since reports emerged that he is working on his sophomore venture, expectations have naturally been high. These expectations soared even further after it was revealed that the movie, Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, is headlined by Fahadh Faasil. Now, the makers have unveiled the film's official trailer, setting the ball in motion for the film's release. Although the promo doesn't play spoilsport by revealing too much about the movie, Althaf has ensured that it's cleverly packed with crisp and fun-filled, albeit somewhat disjointed, moments, offering a sneak peek into the chaotic world of Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira. The 2.36-minute trailer opens by showing Kalyani Priyadarshan's character telling her boyfriend, Aby (Fahadh), about a dream that she has been having for quite some time now. 'A horse that looked like a piece of white, plump halwa! It was so dreamy,' she recalls. From that moment on, we see Aby's relentless efforts to find such a horse for their wedding, as per her wishes. But the task proves to be far from easy. 'She isn't just a little crazy; she's completely nuts,' one of his friends warns Aby. But everything is fair in war and love, right? Or is it just a senseless adage that people use to justify their erratic behaviour in those situations? 'Is madness contagious?' we soon hear Aby asking another one of his friends. As the trailer progresses, it offers more glimpses of things spiralling out of control and Aby's mostly futile efforts to resolve things. Much like Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, Althaf has liberally used references from the actors' personal and professional lives here as well, evoking humour at every juncture. Intriguingly enough, we see actor Lal playing a character that appears to have heavy shades of his iconic role as the mad genius Harinarayanan in One Man Show (2001). Similarly, in one moment, Fahadh is shown asking, 'Don't I look just like Ranbir Kapoor right now?' While this reflects the mutual respect Fahadh and Ranbir have always publicly expressed, Althaf turns this moment also into a joke when Aby's friend replies, 'You look more like Ranbir kaput.' The director has played around with fans' obsession with Fahadh's expressive eyes too, as Lal's character points out towards the end of the promo, 'From now on, your eyes get no rest, Aby.' Interestingly, the title translates literally to 'running horse, jumping horse' and is part of a popular Malayalam riddle. However, in the trailer's closed captions on YouTube, Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira is humorously translated to 'Who let the horse out?' — inspired by Baha Men's iconic track 'Who Let the Dogs Out' — suggesting that the film will thrive on chaos comedy. The promo also promises a blend of drama and intense and thrilling moments to keep the audience engaged throughout. Besides Fahadh Faasil and a decade younger Kalyani Priyadarshan as the lead pair, the movie also features Revathi Pillai and Vinay Forrt in key roles. Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira will hit the screens on August 29, coinciding with the Onam season, during which it will clash at the box office with Sathyan Anthikad's Mohanlal-starrer Hridayapoorvam.

Raphael Saadiq Unveils Fall 2025 ‘No Bandwidth' One-Man Show Tour Dates
Raphael Saadiq will be spending one special night in 21 cities across the U.S. later this year on the No Bandwidth: One Man, One Night, Three Decades of Hits Tour. 'I've always wanted to do a one-man show,' the musician said in a statement. 'I want to challenge myself. My one-person show has three acts; I will be talking about my career, bringing a couple of instruments to express myself, singing my original music as well as covers of songs I wish I had written, and more. I want it to feel magical and like a Broadway show.' The No Bandwidth Tour began with a three-date stint earlier this year. It was a chance for the veteran musician to showcase his expansive skill set in a new way. In 2024, Saadiq told Rolling Stone he picked up piano lessons during the pandemic. 'Just really being a student and studying music,' he said. 'Trying to sight read, learning theory, just basic stuff. Then when I do start writing, I have an arsenal.'

General sale will follow on Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m. local time. Saadiq's one-man show might be the predecessor to a much larger ensemble show. 'I still want to create an 11-piece band,' he told RS, entertaining the idea of creating an Earth, Wind, and Fire-style group. 'I know economically it's not even doable, but I think I could make it work.' For now, it will be all Saadiq during his one-night only concert run.

Local Potch DJ wins Best Amapiano Single award
Tshepiso Mogorosi (22), best known by his stage name Ta Lokii, has won the Best Amapiano Single at the Mzansi Arts and Media Awards. The awards took place on April 26 at Bedrock Valley in Hammanskraal, Pretoria. He was a former learner at Ditaelong Primary School and Boitshoko High School and started his music career in 2016 in Grade Seven. 'My mother's family and also Mr. Stephen Nonzaba managed to help me with the funds and contributed to the transport,' Ta Lokii says. 'I have to thank God for making me arrive in time at Temba Stadium. About 21km from the stadium, the car started to overheat. Luckily, we managed to arrive before the event began.' Ta Lokii says the experience was memorable. He managed to see some of the TikTok influencers like Dikuku Bester (who was nominated for Best Comedian) and Ta Gee The Crazy (who was also nominated in the same category). 'The moment when they called my name for the Best Amapiano single, I was super happy, I shed tears of joy because it was my first nomination and first award. I thanked my co-producer (Djy King Amo SA), my mother, and my supporters who took their money to buy airtime and voted for me.' Ta Lokii says he has big plans for the future. 'My plans for the future are to see myself and my co-producer (Djy King Amo SA) having our own big studio where we work with the best producers in the province. Also, my future plans are to get more promotion and marketing so that I can see myself playing in huge places/ events like Blk Lounge, Dj Zodi One Man Show, and Big Daddy Events.'
