Actress Geetanjali Singh, who has been a part of such successful shows as Million Dollar Girl and Tumhari Pakhi, will soon be seen in the upcoming film Falsafa. Talking about the film she says, “Falsafa:The Other Side is the film that I have just shot for. The movie talks about the other side of revenge. It talks about the evil side of us, how we take the wrong path or evil decisions in one moment of anger and how if we can control that particular moment that can change many lives. It is a story of real characters, real reactions. The story starts with Aman's character and then comes Esha's character, which I am playing, and there are other characters with multiple layers in the story as well. It has a great concept and a very strong message which people should see and think about,” she says.
The actor is very fond of her character in the movie. “I am playing Esha's character. Esha is simple yet she is very strong. She is careful from inside, yet she is carefree in her attitude. She loves her father and cannot imagine her life without him. The only male figure, a hero figure in her life is her papa. The day she loses him, she goes through a shock. There is so much pain inside her, but she tries to show that she can control everything. Her character grows with the story,” she adds.
Ask her what her falsafa is in life, and Geetanjali says, “My falsafa is, I think, to just focus on what you really want in life and just go with the flow. Life will have its ups and downs and you just have to get on board.”
The actor has worked in both films and TV and says that both mediums are very different. “TV and films both are good and on both platforms, we learn so many different things. Definitely, there is a different kind of pressure while doing TV as there are so many last minute changes in the script and you get dialogues right on the sets at times. You have to perform in a very short span of time. So, it’s a different kind of learning experience. On the other hand, in films, we get time to prepare for the character but then it is for a larger set of the audience, so it is more demanding and we have to be more responsible as actors,” she says.
After this film, she is on the lookout for more interesting roles. “I want to do as many different characters as possible. I want to focus on more realistic characters and concepts. What else can an actor wish for?” she says.
Ask her who is on her wish list and she says, “There are many actors who I love but my favourite is undoubtedly Irrfan Khan. I think he is effortless and a great actor and a beautiful person. I really admire him a lot. So, Irrfan Khan and Shah Rukh Khan top my list. But I want to work with everyone because every actor, every filmmaker, actually every person teaches you a new thing.”
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
