Hi everyone!

Issue #5, how does it feel? Sorry, I'm late today, but I promise I didn't forget about you! This week's music focus will be based on entertainment that has been overlooked and out-shined by other hits. There's so much talent in the world - we all know that, and it's hard to give equal attention to all the creativity. It's also easy to give attention to what's deemed the best and most popular. Well, let's purposefully point our eyes and ears in the direction of the underrated, under-appreciated. I promise you won't regret it!

My Most Recent Watch
I recently watched a Bollywood movie called The Lunchbox. It came out in 2013, and I'm slightly embarrassed to say I hadn't heard about it until earlier this year. It stars Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur. 

Irrfan Khan has been in phenomenal movie, I can't think of a movie I've seen with him in that I haven't enjoyed - yet people don't race to the movie theaters to watch a new release with him in it. I wonder why that is? On the other hand, Nimrat Kaur - a beautiful and talented actress who also starred in Airlift with Akshay Kumar - played her role so authentically.

While the movie was not action packed or filled with hot new item songs, it was comedic, realistic, and very natural. It won't disappoint - go watch it now!

What mood does this satisfy? I need some simplicity

If you haven't seen this Irrfan Khan classic: Party Song Parody
(Fast Forward to 3:00)

In case you want to see Irrfan Khan say "Yaaas Queeen"
(It's hard not to say he's a frickin' boss)



Updates from Previous Newsletters
In Newsletter #2, I talked about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's newest movie releasing on December 1, 2017: Padmavati. Recently the official trailer came out! Along with Ranveer and Shahid's looks. Low key (actually, very high key), I cannot be more excited. What I truly appreciate is that the trailer does not give away a storyline, makes me wonder how true the plot will stick to the historical timeline. Take a look for yourself!

In Newsletter #3, I mentioned Aamir Khan's newest movie releasing this coming week, October 19, 2017 (!!!). I wanted to share another song that had been released recently from the movie. Even though it isn't the best song - my motive was simply to remind you to hit the theaters this Diwali with your whole family and watch this movie. You know that when Aamir Khan produces and acts in the movie, it does not disappoint. Also, the music video for this song is hilarious.
What mood does this satisfy? Let's get something catchy that we can get the aunties on the dance floor with! ;)
Movie: Secret Superstar (Releasing in ONE WEEK)
Other songs from movie rating: 5/5

This Week's Favorite 7
Passed along by a good friend - new discovery for me, doesn't disappoint!

This is often forgotten since Sunidhi has another hit "Mere Haath Mein" from the same movie, Fanaa.

Choreographed to tailor Salmaan Khan's limited dancing ability.

This movie is definitely worth the purchase/download itself.

Everyone needs a pick me up song - this is definitely one of mine.

I feel like when this plays, every filmi dad out there hits the dance floor immediately. #That'sMyDad
