Yo Yo Honey Singh Famous review: Lacking the rapper’s edge, this documentary has nothing much to offer

Yo Yo Honey Singh Famous review: The Netflix documentary offers no new insights on the popular rapper’s controversial-yet-dazzling life. Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, a documentary on the life of the rapper-singer is out.

Unfortunately, the sole thing intriguing about it remains its teaser which dropped recently and made tall claims that this would be a ‘tell-all’. (Also read: Honey Singh recalls ‘wishing for death’ as he talks about fighting mental illness in his documentary)

Directed by Mozez Singh, known for directing the series Human, and produced by Guneet Monga, who has backed offbeat content, the story of Yo Yo has great potential.

A Delhi boy with humble beginnings goes on to become someone who left a big mark on the Indian music scene- the audience laps up a good underdog story. The docu starts off with footage of his teen days- and establishes a promising note instantly.

Nothing new to offer

However, it all just feels a bit tilted in Singh’s favour. The line of questioning seems to be something straight out of a typical masala film. The biggest controversies Honey found himself in, including being credited Well, he has said the same in the past, too, in countless interviews. What makes this docu any different then?

Same goes for the rumour about actor Shah Rukh Khan allegedly slapping Yo Yo during a concert tour. Yo Yo and his sister simply say ‘unhone nahi maara tha’- he has already claimed the same in the past as well. As for the bipolar diagnosis he received- he says ‘aaj tak kisi ko nahi bataya kya hua tha’- except he has been open about it all these years, and kudos to him for that.

There’s nothing revelatory about Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous. One doesn’t come away learning something new or surprising about the person in question. Yes, his family’s appearance does make it more human. Honey breaking down as he recalls being at home, jobless, does tug at one’s heart, so does the family’s helplessness as they grappled with his deteriorating mental health at one point.

The big misses

Random sequences like a ‘super fan’ suddenly meeting the rapper on the roads at night and crying as he sings for her- that feeling of it being staged further brings down the credibility. When asked about his controversial divorce from Shalini some time back, Singh simply says ‘We have signed a MoU.

so I can’t talk about it’ I wonder then what’s the point of this Docu apart from merely being a compilation of things the singer has already revealed in the past.For example, there’s nothing about Mafia Mundeer apart from a fleeting mention when talking about a controversial song.

Overall, Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous could have been so much more. But it’s reduced to being a whitewashing attempt, much like Sanju, which aims at only glorifying the subject, rather than being an objective take.

The documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous promises an intimate look into the life and career of the iconic Indian rapper but falls short of expectations. While it touches on his rise to fame and struggles with mental health, the narrative lacks depth and fails to capture the raw.

energy and charisma that made Honey Singh a sensation. The storytelling feels superficial, offering little insight into his creative process or the controversies that shaped his career. Fans hoping for an authentic exploration of the rapper’s journey may find this documentary underwhelming and lacking the edge that defined his music.

Karwa Chauth: What to put in and what to leave out of your sargi thali for a nutritious fast

Karwa Chauth: What to put in and what to leave out of your sargi thali for a nutritious fast

Karwa Chauth 2022: The day-long event that honours a husband and wife’s union is just one day away. On the fourth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, the festival—also known as Karak Chaturthi in Sanskrit texts—is observed. Married women observe a day-long “nirjala” fast (without food or water) on Karwa Chauth.

which generally coincides with the festivals of Dussehra and Diwali, and pray nonstop for the long lives of their spouses from dawn to moonrise. When the moon rises, women break their fast by offering the moon a “ark” from their karwas (earthen pots), seeing their husbands’ faces through sieves, and then drinking and eating.

A pre-dawn meal called sargi is lovingly made by the mother-in-law for her bahu and presented in a thali before the fasting period begins. Sargi consists of seven, none, or eleven different sorts of bite-sized food items, including sweets, savouries, vegetable curries, fruits, rice, and roti. The purpose of the practise is to ensure that those who are fasting consume enough nourishing and hydrated items to support a healthy Karwa Chauth fast.

The food provided in the sargi thali will make it easier for the woman to fast without triggering any health issues like headaches or acidity. Fasting without food and drink can be difficult. Making the thali requires a mother-in-best law’s efforts because it involves more than simply sargi; it also involves emotion.

Here are some suggestions for including nutritious foods in your sargi ki thali and avoiding foods that might deplete your vitality. Probiotic drink: If fasting is not regularly practised, a day’s fast may result in digestive problems such bloating and hyperacidity. It is important to add a probiotic in the diet to prevent this.

    Incorporating a glass of buttermilk into the sargi thali is the simplest method to accomplish this. Add black salt, cumin powder, and asafoetida to the buttermilk to reduce bloating. This guarantees a gut that is balanced and free of gas or acidity.

    1. Maintain balance in your sargi thali: Think of the sargi thali as a healthy, balanced dish that is generally consumed on an ordinary day. Including a salad portion, one or two katori of sabji—this might be two different sabjis to give variety—a bowl of dal or lentil for protein and rotis and rice for the carbs—as well as a glass of buttermilk—are all required. Never forget to add ghee to the rice or lentils.
    2. Include hydrating items in your thali: Maintaining a healthy level of hydration throughout the day is essential for a successful fast. Dehydration during the day is inevitable if there are insufficient fluids in the thali. Dehydration can be brought on by foods that are overly sweet or oily. So attempt to substitute items high in water content for fruits with high fibre content. Include coconut water, muskmelon, or watermelon, for instance.
    1. Steer clear of sugary desserts: Kheer, a milk-based dessert, is frequently offered in sargi thalis. Make sure that it is prepared with other natural sugars, such as khandsari, jaggery, or honey, in moderation, rather than table sugar. Foods with a lot of sugar make people thirstier. These high-sugar foods are not recommended because there is no water consumption during the day.
    2. Steer clear of adding fried foods: Just like sugar, fatty meals tend to make you feel older than you are. The sargi thali generally includes fried items like puris, papadams, etc. Try substituting ghee.
