The Rachels - 2025
Much to my surprise, I have kept a list of the films I‘ve seen this year. I daresay it isn’t complete. There will be films that snuck in on a late night in front of the TV that I would’ve forgotten to note. Or others, that I went to watch at the cinema, but then had a red wine and promptly forgotten about. But it’s not a bad approximation of the films I’ve seen this year. In total, there are 53 films listed, so an average of one a week and one for good luck.

Kapil Sharma Admits Facing Pressure from Netflix on The Great Indian Kapil Show: ‘Hisaab Dena Hota Hai’
Comedy icon Kapil Sharma, widely regarded as one of India’s most popular entertainers, recently opened up about the immense pressure he experienced while working on his Netflix venture, The Great Indian Kapil Show. Known for his quick wit, impeccable timing, and charismatic screen presence, Kapil has been entertaining audiences for over a decade. Yet behind the laughter and fanfare, the comedian reveals there was significant scrutiny and accountability involved when collaborating with a global streaming giant. In an exclusive statement, Kapil confessed, “‘Hisaab dena hota hai’ – there’s a lot of accountability involved when you work with platforms like Netflix. You can’t just do things the way you want; every decision, every joke, every segment has to be justified.” This candid admission sheds light on the challenges entertainers face when transitioning from traditional television to digital streaming platforms, which have different expectations, production standards, and creative oversight. From Television Sensation to Streaming Star Kapil Sharma’s rise to fame began with his television shows, particularly The Kapil Sharma Show, which became a household name for its blend of celebrity interviews, sketches, and audience interaction. The show’s immense popularity cemented Kapil’s reputation as a versatile entertainer capable of appealing to audiences across age groups. The leap from television to a global streaming platform like Netflix, however, brought new challenges. Unlike television, which allows for broader content latitude, streaming services demand higher production quality, tighter scripting, and meticulous attention to audience metrics. Every segment is analyzed not just for humor but also for engagement, viewership patterns, and international appeal. For someone like Kapil, accustomed to the creative flexibility of television, this level of scrutiny was a new experience. Pressure Beyond the Spotlight Kapil’s comment, “‘Hisaab dena hota hai,’” reflects more than just professional oversight. It highlights the psychological and creative pressures entertainers face when working under the global lens of digital platforms. Unlike Indian television networks, Netflix operates with a global audience and has a reputation for data-driven decision-making. This means that even an established star like Kapil must consider every joke, every celebrity interaction, and every storyline from multiple perspectives – including cultural sensitivities, global relevance, and streaming analytics. Industry insiders suggest that such accountability can be both motivating and stressful. While it pushes creators to raise their standards and innovate, it can also constrain spontaneity, especially for comedians whose charm lies in improvisation and quick thinking. Kapil Sharma’s experience underscores the delicate balance between maintaining creative freedom and adhering to platform expectations. Fan Reactions and Public Perception Fans of Kapil Sharma have expressed empathy for the comedian’s revelation. Social media platforms are filled with messages supporting him, praising his honesty, and acknowledging the difficulties of navigating global platforms. Many fans noted that while The Great Indian Kapil Show retained Kapil’s trademark humor, the behind-the-scenes pressures were invisible to audiences who often only see the final polished product. Critics have also commented that the transition from TV to streaming requires not just talent but adaptability. Kapil Sharma’s openness about these pressures may encourage more dialogue on how streaming platforms engage with Indian entertainers and the expectations they set for creative content. The Road Ahead for Indian Comedy on Streaming Kapil Sharma’s Netflix experience represents a larger shift in India’s entertainment industry. Streaming platforms have become a hub for diverse content – from drama and thriller series to reality shows and comedy specials. For Indian comedians, this creates exciting opportunities but also unprecedented scrutiny. Maintaining authenticity while satisfying global standards is a challenge that requires careful navigation. Kapil’s candid reflection provides a valuable lesson for aspiring entertainers. Success on international platforms is not just about talent or popularity; it is also about understanding the operational expectations, adapting to new creative standards, and being prepared to answer to detailed scrutiny. His phrase, “‘Hisaab dena hota hai,’” resonates as a reminder that professional accountability is part of global entertainment, even for India’s beloved stars. Conclusion Kapil Sharma’s revelation about the pressures he faced while working on The Great Indian Kapil Show provides a rare glimpse into the realities of global streaming production. While audiences see the laughter, jokes, and celebrity interactions, the behind-the-scenes pressures are immense, especially when transitioning from traditional television to a platform like Netflix. By openly acknowledging the accountability, Kapil Sharma not only humanizes the challenges faced by entertainers but also underscores the evolving landscape of Indian comedy in the digital era. His experience demonstrates that even established stars must adapt, innovate, and navigate pressures while keeping their signature humor intact – a balancing act that defines the future of entertainment in the age of global streaming platforms.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
