Rock veterans Indus Creed, Pentagram and Parikrama to perform at Independence Rock

Independence Rock, also referred to as the Woodstock of India, is making a belated comeback to the city. The three-decade-old festival will take place in November and feature 10 established and up-and-coming acts, including the legendary groups Indus Creed, Pentagram, and Parikrama. On November 5 and 6, a two-day concert will be held at Bayview Lawns in Mazgaon.

The festival began in 1986 nearly as an act of retaliation for being denied the opportunity to perform at the St. Xavier’s campus festival Malhar. Farhad Wadia, a devoted fan of rock and roll, built the venue, which later developed into a Mecca for music lovers in the city. He explains, “I moved to the US eight years ago, so I couldn’t do this every year.

But I’ve always wanted to return and do this every year. I’m happy that the magic of this festival will be experienced by a new generation of festival-goers.

“We love playing big rock songs to those that dig that kind of sound,” Indus Creed frontman Uday Benegal explains. We started making music for that reason, and we still do.

The occasion serves as a sort of homecoming for Parikrama and its founder Subir Malik. When asked if today’s kids can relate to their music, he replies, “We have performed all over the world. The smaller children are headbanging to our music in the front rows, says the 52-year-old.

“The festival has always been the breeding ground for truly independent music in India and I hope it regains its status as India’s crucible of new sounds,” says composer-singer Vishal Dadlani, who is also the main singer for the band Pentagram.

Newer bands like Aswekeepsearching, The Bloodywood, and Parvaaz, among others, will also be making their festival debuts alongside these mainstays. The band Aswekeepsearching is thrilled to play on these revered grounds and remarks, “When we were growing up, Independence Rock was thought of as the biggest stage for independent bands and performers. The roots of today’s independent music scene were laid by this music event. We’re honoured to take part in it.

Azaad teaser: Ajay Devgn teams up with Aaman Devgan, Rasha Thadani for Tarzan: Wonder Car sequel… but with a horse

Ajay Devgn’s upcoming film Azaad features Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan, exploring a family’s bond with their horse in Pre-Independence India.

Ajay Devgn has shared the teaser for his next movie, a period film about a family’s love for their loyal horse. Titled Azaad, the movie also stars Ajay’s nephew Aaman Devgan and Raveena Tandon‘s daughter Rasha Thadani.

The film seems sets in Pre-Independence India where Ajay is a master horse rider who shares beautiful bond with his horse. He escapes brutal English armies and leaps over valleys but the horse, in between all this, goes missing. The younger boy, played by Aaman is tasked with finding him. (Also read: Watched Singham Again? Ajay Devgn to star in 3 more sequels)

Rasha plays the rich young girl from an opulent family but the teaser shows her for only two short moments.

The trailer does give us a few Tarzan: The Wonder Car flashbacks. In the 2004 movie, Ajay plays a ghost who possesses his custom-made car to help his son fight the villains who murdered him. Of course, Ajay’s character looks well and alive here, but does seem to be teaching him how to strike a bond with the family horse.

The film is helmed by Abhishek Kapoor, known for films like Kai Po Che, Kedarnath, Rock On and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. Produced by industry stalwarts Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, ‘Azaad’ is set for release on the big screen in January 2025. Sharing the teaser on social media, Kapoor wrote, “Har jung mein, har bahadur yodha ke saath, ek wafadaar ghoda zaroor raha hai. 🐎 #Azaad Teaser Out Now. Witness the adventure on big screens this January2025.”

About Rasha Thadani

Rasha is the daughter of Raveena and Anil Thadani. Ahead of her Bollywood debut, Rasha told HT about the lessons she got from her mum, and she will continue to do so. “My mom’s guidance is invaluable to me, not because she’s an actor, but because she’s my mom. She has handled herself with such grace and maturity, and I want to be like her 100%. She is my role model so of course I look up to her for everything,” says Rasha, and mentions, “I would still go to her for career advice even if she wasn’t a part of the film industry. She always has my back and would always want the best for me.”
