Delhi's dense smog has left the city's live music scene struggling. Amid the peak concert season, artistes are dealing with throat issues and feeling compelled to cancel shows

- Samarth Goyal

Every winter, Delhi's live music scene peaks with festivals and gigs, but this year, it is quieter and punctuated with coughing fits.

With the AQI often over 400, the season meant for performances has become a battle to breathe.

Parikrama’s Subir Malik says this Delhi winter is brutal for musicians. “Singers’ throats are their livelihood—if their throats suffer, the whole band can't play,” he says.

SUBIR MALIK, KEYBOARDIST PARIKRAMA

Farhan Akhtar’s heartfelt war drama takes time to connect

As I watched 120 Bahadur, I just couldn't shake off the sense of familiarity. Our war dramas often march to the same beat, and this one also takes its time before stepping out of that mould. It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?
