Play: Chandigarh

Comedy of politics

Shoolini University’s theatre wing, Shoolini Creative Studio, captivated audiences with its latest production Naatak Paracetamol—an adaptation of Molière’s iconic comedy – The Doctor in Spite of Himself.  The play was staged at the Tagore Theatre.

Directed by Ankur Bashar, the play is a witty, high-energy satire that pokes fun at blind faith in doctors and the absurdities of societal norms. “This year, we chose comedy as a political act,” and, “In today’s world, the comic is often political and the political, deeply comic. Molière’s work continues to mirror the hypocrisies of modern society, making it ideal for a student-led performance that is both engaging and thought-provoking,” says Bashar.

Can’t beat it!

New York-based singer, songwriter and producer Rubal Sikka has teamed up with UK rap sensation Raxstar to deliver their electrifying new track, Haan Di. This song artfully intertwines themes of heartache and resilience, resonating deeply with anyone who has navigated the complex emotional landscape of love, loss, and personal growth.

Sikka says, “Working on Haan Di was an amazing experience. The energy of the track came together organically — from the beat to the vibe to the lyrics. It’s one of those songs where everything just clicked. I wanted to bring something high-energy and fun, but still rooted in our signature styles, and I think we nailed that balance. Collaborating with Raxstar again was a pleasure. We’ve worked together before on Pearls, and the chemistry has always been effortless.”
