One Republic enthralls Mumbai crowd with their debut gig

The second day of the music festival Lollapalooza in Mumbai witnessed some captivating performances from One Republic, Sting, Anoushka Shankar, The Rose, Eric Nam, Keane, and Prabh Deep among others.

It was One Republic's debut gig in India.


The band members of the American band are Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Drew Brown, Brent Kutzle, Brian Willett, Eddie Fisher, Jerrod Bettis, and Tim Myers. The lead singer, Teddar left no stone unturned to impress their desi fans with their performance.

One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder also expressed his love for India.

"I love this country. You've got the best food in the world. We are loving it here," he said, evoking a loud cheer from the jam-packed venue.

The band undoubtedly amped up the energy with 'Counting Stars', 'I Ain't Worried', 'You Were Loved,' 'Someday,' and 'Good Life' being sung in unison by fans that couldn't get enough of the Colorado heartthrobs.

The crowd was also moved by legendary Sting's music that made a return to India after almost two decades.

Anoushka Shankar's sounds that blended Indian folk and classical melodies were combined with beautiful dancers performing and moving to the rhythm.

Lollapalooza made its Indian debut last January, making it the eighth country and the first in Asia to host the annual festival, in partnership with global producers Perry Farrell, WME, C3 Presents, and co-producer BookMyShow.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
