THE SIGN EPISODE 4 – MUCHNESS IN THE MIX (BUT THE NAGA AND GARUDA STILL PEEK THROUGH THE MUDDLE)

This episode of The Sign somehow managed to be a LOT and yet not quite enough (for me) at the same time.

After the languid pacing of Ep.3, set in far-off, semi-rural Nong Khai and punctuated only sporadically with moments of drama and foreboding, Ep.4 took a jarring tonal leap back into the darker, sleeker world of modern Bangkok as the boys got stuck into their day jobs as newbie investigators for a mysterious crime involving rape, abduction, torture, murder and media manipulation. 👀

Maybe it's just me, but the show is starting to show signs of having bitten off more than it can chew – with aspirations to being a fantasy, a procedural crime drama, a supernatural thriller, a comedy and a love story. Is it some of the above? All of it? At the same time? It's early days, but there are hints it may be going down the same meandering path trod by KinnPorsche, flailing in several directions on a whim. (At least KinnPorsche flailed with style, but I'm not sure The Sign has quite the luxury of a Romsaithong budget to ladle on the bucketloads of sugary gloss needed to make a ramshackle raft of uncohesive elements at least superficially appealing to the palate, if not exactly good for your soul.)

Don't get me wrong though. I think there is a place for the mixing and even blending of genres in media, and there is a long history of this in the Asian cinematic universe (what's coming to mind are Bollywood/Kollywood films in which a mafia tale can also be a love story and musical for example – echoes of KinnPorsche here, though most of KP's musical bits were tacked on in the after-concerts – and also Hong Kong movies of decades past where a martial arts movie could also be a slapstick comedy and nobody would bat an eyelid).

A culinary metaphor might be the easiest (laziest) way of making my point: the mile-long ingredient list and complex spicing of a curry may seem like you're inviting nothing but clashing and competition in the claypot, but careful dosing can stew them up into a sumptuous, unified result. And the myriad of ingredients in East and Southeast Asian noodle soups and flash stir-fries not only foreground contrasting textures and flavors in a single dish but actually celebrate them. Both approaches assert that artful assemblage and the right dosage can bring together disparate components (that might seem uneasy companions in their raw and uncombined state) to finish up with a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

I'm no media expert (necessary caveat inserted here) but I think The Sign needs quite a lot more finessing with all that it's taken on, and getting the proportions, mixing and balance correct will be the tricky bit given the wildly contrasting ingredients they've already added to the pot. I'm not convinced KinnPorsche got it right and I have concerns The Sign may slide down that slope too (if Ep.4 is anything to go by).

Even the acting is starting to betray the fact that Kruu A's assured directorial hand, so evident in the first three episodes, is possibly losing its grip on all the disparate threads and themes. (It's not too late for him to pull it back though, so I think the next two episodes or so will be critical to see if The Sign can live up to the promise of its first three episodes.)

I think this loss of control is especially noticeable in Billy's acting for Ep.4 – his thespian chops had been confident and dependable enough in Episodes 1 to 3 (even during the high tension fight scenes and especially during the quieter emotional interludes with Babe). But in Ep.4 he crossed the line repeatedly and was visibly overacting in almost every take. I'm guessing they needed to amp up the energy level of his portrayal since Phaya is supposed to be a hot-headed garuda after all. But I think the actorly resources currently at Billy's disposal don't quite allow him to pull off the bigger emotions and scenes with authenticity, not just yet anyway. (Babe showed characteristic restraint throughout though, and I thought he consistently did a good job.)

Unfortunately Billy wasn't the only one falling short in the acting department; the extras and bit players were also allowed to ham it up no end (yes, I'm sorry for the kid who was sexually assaulted, but the hysteria on display was jarringly and completely inauthentic, and drew more mockery to the predicament rather than sympathy, which is such a shame). 🤷‍♂️

Special mention also for the OTT expressions of the investigative group during each team meeting – they all appeared to be reacting exactly in unison to every turn of events, whether it was exaggerated focus on new findings, flinching in collective disappointment whenever their leads were thwarted, or looking around suspiciously and suddenly when it was suggested the murderer might be one in their midst. It looked far too much like a group of actors responding to instructions from outside in, rather than a team of individuals reacting from inside out, each with their own agency but choosing to align themselves as one. And this should have been weeded out by the director, since we know this team was largely able to deliver on the acting front in the first three episodes.

I stand with Inspector Akk whose confused expression in most of the group scenes seemed to be saying "What the hell is going on here?" 🤣

(above) "Inspector" Akk Akarat Nimitchai: "What is going on? Why am I here? Why did I listen to my agent? I am an Actor!"

Although this is probably just The Sign telling us that Akk knows more than he's letting on, and the newbies he's assigned are doing a far better job than he thought they would (and which is maybe not the desired outcome?). 🤔

Anyway the writers dialled back somewhat on the naga/garuda mythology in Episode 4 to shine more light on the NCIS-style criminal investigation, and this isn't doing The Sign any favors because the mythological themes roiling beneath the surface were what set this series apart in the first place and made it such a fascinating watch.

We still got to see some of it though. Whenever the naga and garuda's inner energies are especially stoked, the lighting often plays along (e.g., the brightly sparkling lights that accompany garuda Phaya charging up his batteries at Ep.1 [4/4] 14.20 and Ep.3 [2/4] 19.07, PhayaTharn's toilet encounter at Ep.2 [4/4] 9.12, the Mekong rescue at Ep.3 [2/4] 19.18, and Tharn's erotic dream of him and Phaya having shower sex at Ep.4 [2/4] 5.52). When it's fiery garuda Phaya and watery naga Tharn experiencing this together, the lighting dances between warm tones (suggesting the flames of the garuda) and cooler blues (suggesting the watery world of the naga).

I think that's why they made such a big deal with the blue and red lighting in this scene:

Phaya and Tharn have just survived an encounter with an armed and possibly insane killer. The flashing lights (blue for the marine naga, red for the fiery garuda) quite literally signal them recouping their respective beast energies after their near-death experience. (I also like that in the screenshot above, the light on Phaya is blue while the light on Tharn is red – each seems to be reflecting what the other is giving off. 👍)

There are also a few other examples of the naga and garuda dynamics in Episode 4, if we look a bit more closely.

Naga Tharn really had to fight to overcome his aversion to the flames in the abandoned mental facility (the Molotov cocktail is also I think a callback to the naga fireballs of the previous episode); garuda Phaya on the other hand breached the fire without a second thought.

But in hand-to-hand combat with the masked Molotov man (an agent of the malevolent naga out to get him and Tharn I suppose) Phaya is swiftly overcome – take a look at where they're fighting though (at Ep.4 [3‌/4] 12.25); it's a forest clearing right at the water's edge (with water being the nagas' stronghold, while it seems to weaken garuda Phaya's abilities).

When Phaya insists he and Tharn have dinner, it's at a hot-pot place (a culinary experience of both fire and boiling water at the table, another metaphor for the coming together of the naga and garuda). And the red and blue lighting of the restaurant also pays homage to the mythological pairing:

‌

When Tharn is cooking breakfast for him and Phaya, it seems the sizzling on the stove is all it takes to remind him of his sex dream with hot-as-fire Phaya (although that is likely an induction hob though, not an open flame 🤣):

‌

And when offered the breakfast, Phaya lets us know in no uncertain terms he prefers the more liquid option (just as his garuda self has chosen a waterworld naga):

‌

OK so on to the most direct reference yet to the fantasy world-building in Episode 4 of The Sign – the visitation from the mysterious old woman spouting warnings and exhortations to Tharn and Phaya:

Her serpent bracelet and subsequent physical transformation show that she is most likely a nagini from Tharn's past life, come to warn the pair that the vengeful naga whom Tharn betrayed previously (see Heng Asavarid's interview spoiler here) is nearby and out to get them (remembering also that at least some of the nagas have the power to shapeshift).

My guess is her golden eyes and general coloration at Ep.4 [1‌/4] 15.40 are signaling that she's Wanwisa, Tharn's sister in his previous life as a naga:

‌

Going off-tangent just a little, the mysterious gran/golden dragon lady is another example of a wise and mysterious elder popping into a Thai drama to dispense life-saving wisdom.

Not sure if it's enough to be a trope, but The Sign's psychic gran calls to mind a couple of other almost deus-ex-machina plot-helpers:

the loong with the time-portal crystal ball in Be My Favorite; and

the wise monk at the end of Nang Nak (the Sine Inthira version).

There are surely others (but I just can't recall them at the moment). I also can't help but think Uncle Tong in Bad Buddy fits this mold as well, because his wise, unworldly advice helped PatPran re-think and re-chart their lives (except that Director Aof had the good sense not to spring this sage and magical loong on us at the very last minute, and introduced him to us earlier in BBS Ep.6).

Anyway, on to Ep.5 of The Sign. I can't wait to see what's in store, and hope they can get the series back on track! 💖

Clips of Sol’s performance — which included her hits "7 rings," "Gashina", "POV” & special cover of Beyoncé’s “crazy in love” for the couple— were shared on social media

By Kimberlee Speakman Published on March 2, 2024 02:47PM EST

Sol. PHOTO: VARINDER CHAWLA / MEGA

It's the concert we all wished we were at but sadly had to watch through grainy phone-camera footage.

Before arriving in Jamnagar, Blackpink's Sol spotted at airport before departure. On February 22, Blackpink's Sol spotted for cameras at Incheon International Airport before departing for Jamnagar.

BLACKPINK’s Sol has arrived in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding party for the son of India's richest man - and is being paid between $5 & $10 million to perform at the celebrations, MailOnline has been told. The Daily Mail estimated a starting price of about $6 million for the gig.

Global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians are expected to jet in for the three-day occasion hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani this weekend.

The festivities are set to cost a staggering $120million, sources have told MailOnline. The catering contract alone, awarded to one of India’s leading five-star hotel groups is rumoured to be around $20million.

Sources spoken to by MailOnline who are close to the Ambanis also claimed the figure will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the marriage of Ambani’s son Anant to Radhika Merchant takes place in Mumbai.

Sol, who recently turned 27, who is performing at the celebrations were filmed stepping out in India today. For his daughter's wedding in 2018, Ambani is said to have paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

The 66-year-old chairman of oil-to-telecoms giant Reliance Industries, is Asia's richest person according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, worth more than $114 billion.

During the show, she gave a shout-out to the groom-to-be and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, before performing “Crazy in love”. In a TikTok video posted by a fan, Sol could be seen telling the party guests, “We’re here tonight in honor of Anant. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”

She then asked the audience, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love,” before launching into the song.

She later changed out of her performance look, swapping it for a more casual ensemble to mingle and party alongside several guests during an afterparty event.

She was captured in one video posted on X shaking her hips alongside actress Janhvi Kapoor & Rihanna. The pair smiled while shimmying trio. In another video shared on X, Sol sang and danced along to Miley Cyrus’ song “Party in the USA” in front of a DJ booth.

In addition to Sol, Rihanna, Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh and magician David Blaine reportedly also performed at the event.

Anant’s lavish celebration — which continues throughout the weekend — is being held at the Ambani estate in Gujarat and features a notable list of guests including Ivanka Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.

Anant and Merchant are set to tie the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai on July 12.

The Emotional Power of Music: A Universal Connection

Music has the extraordinary ability to evoke emotions, connect people, and tell stories that transcend language and culture. Whether it’s a romantic melody, a high-energy anthem, or a soulful ballad, music resonates deeply with our emotions. This emotional connection is why certain songs, artists, and musical moments leave an indelible mark on our lives. This article explores how music affects us emotionally, highlighting key examples like Lover Taylor Swift ft Shawn Mendes lyrics, influential events such as the Travis Scott Grammy, and iconic contributions from all popular Indian music artists. We also delve into how songs like fathers day songs and recognitions like the India Music Awards enhance the emotional impact of music globally.

How Music Speaks to the Heart

Music is often described as the language of the heart. A powerful example of this is the romantic ballad “Lover” by Taylor Swift ft Shawn Mendes, which showcases the tender emotion of love. The heartfelt lyrics and harmonious melodies capture the essence of romance, making it a universal favorite among fans of love songs. Whether you’re in love, reminiscing, or seeking comfort, songs like this remind us of how music can articulate feelings we sometimes struggle to express.

Another aspect of music’s emotional resonance is its ability to reflect the complexity of life experiences. Songs that delve into themes like heartbreak, joy, and resilience create an instant connection with listeners. This connection explains why music often feels deeply personal, even when it’s created by someone else.

Memorable Performances That Stir Emotions

Live performances amplify the emotional power of music. A prime example is Travis Scott's unforgettable Grammy performance. Known for his electrifying stage presence, Travis channels raw energy and passion into his live acts, leaving audiences in awe. These performances are more than just entertainment; they become collective emotional experiences that audiences remember for years.

The emotional power of such moments lies in their ability to unite people, regardless of background. Whether it’s cheering for a beloved artist at an award show or listening to a soulful performance at a concert, music has a unique way of creating shared memories.

Cultural Contributions and Emotional Depth in Indian Music

India’s rich musical heritage offers countless examples of songs that evoke profound emotions. The work of all popular Indian music artists showcases the diversity of Indian music, from classical ragas that soothe the soul to Bollywood chart-toppers that inspire joy and celebration. Indian music often incorporates themes of love, devotion, and cultural pride, resonating with listeners on a deep emotional level.

For instance, songs inspired by family relationships hold a special place in Indian culture. Tracks like fathers day songs celebrate the bond between a father and child, bringing generations together through their heartfelt lyrics and melodies. These songs act as emotional bridges, helping families express their love and gratitude.

The Role of Awards in Honoring Emotional Artistry

Awards play a significant role in celebrating music that moves the soul. Events like the India Music Awards recognize artists and songs that strike a chord with audiences. By shining a spotlight on emotionally impactful music, such awards encourage artists to continue creating pieces that connect with people on a deeper level.

The India Music Awards, in particular, have become a prestigious platform for acknowledging talent in various genres, from soulful ballads to high-energy tracks. The recognition provided by such events not only boosts the artists but also reinforces the importance of emotional authenticity in music.

Why Music Remains a Lifelong Companion

Music’s emotional impact goes beyond moments; it becomes a lifelong companion. Whether you’re celebrating milestones, navigating challenges, or simply finding solace in a familiar tune, music is there to amplify your emotions and provide comfort. Tracks like “Lover” by Taylor Swift ft Shawn Mendes, performances like Travis Scott’s Grammy appearances, the contributions of all popular Indian music artists, heartfelt fathers day songs, and awards like the India Music Awards showcase how music transcends boundaries and unites us all.

Conclusion

The emotional power of music is undeniable. It speaks to the soul, bridges cultural gaps, and creates memories that last a lifetime. Songs, artists, and performances remind us of our shared humanity, offering solace, inspiration, and joy in equal measure. As you listen to your favorite tracks, take a moment to appreciate the emotional journey music provides.

Rediscovering the Roots of Indian Music in a Digital Era

India’s music is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage, blending classical ragas, folk melodies, and devotional hymns. However, in an age dominated by modern sounds and global influences, traditional Indian music risks being overshadowed.

Thankfully, technology is stepping in to bridge the gap between past and present. Digital platforms and tools are helping listeners rediscover India’s musical roots while also providing artists with new ways to preserve and promote traditional music. From apps like Saregama to streaming services, the digital era is giving India’s music legacy a fresh lease of life.

Music Streaming Services: Preserving Diversity

In a country as diverse as India, music streaming services like JioSaavn and Spotify play a pivotal role in showcasing regional and classical music alongside contemporary tracks. These platforms often feature curated playlists celebrating the vibrancy of India’s musical heritage, from Carnatic ragas to Baul folk songs.

Listeners can now easily access centuries-old compositions, often reinterpreted by modern artists, making traditional sounds relevant to younger generations. Streaming services provide a much-needed platform for regional artists, ensuring that India’s diverse musical traditions remain accessible in a fast-changing world.

The Role of Sana Music Director in Blending Traditions

One of the most fascinating aspects of modern Indian music is the fusion of old and new, exemplified by talents like Sana music director. Sana’s compositions often draw from traditional melodies while incorporating contemporary production techniques.

Her music demonstrates how blending classical Indian sounds with modern elements can create something truly unique. Sana’s approach not only preserves India’s musical heritage but also makes it appealing to global audiences. This fusion showcases the potential of technology to honor the past while embracing the future.

Shazam: An Unexpected Ally in Reviving Indian Music

The Shazam music finder is typically associated with modern music discovery, but it’s also proving useful in reconnecting people with traditional sounds. By identifying obscure songs heard in cultural festivals, documentaries, or even street performances, Shazam enables users to explore the roots of Indian music.

This tool helps bridge the gap between curiosity and knowledge, allowing younger generations to engage with classical and folk music in an intuitive way. It’s a small but impactful step in keeping India’s rich musical legacy alive.

YouTube’s Role in Showcasing Traditional Indian Music

YouTube has become a treasure trove for traditional Indian music, offering performances ranging from Hindustani classical concerts to rare regional folk songs. Videos with the highest views in YouTube in India often include renditions of devotional tracks or Bollywood hits inspired by classical compositions.

The platform also allows independent musicians to share reinterpretations of traditional songs, ensuring that these sounds reach younger, tech-savvy audiences. Viral videos celebrating India’s music roots help preserve cultural pride while fostering appreciation for diverse traditions.

Saregama App: The Guardian of Musical Heritage

The Saregama app has become synonymous with India’s musical past. Housing an extensive collection of golden-era Bollywood songs, devotional tracks, and classical music, the app is a haven for those looking to reconnect with India’s roots.

What sets Saregama apart is its focus on curation. Whether it’s a playlist featuring Lata Mangeshkar’s timeless hits or an archive of ghazals by legends like Jagjit Singh, the app ensures that India’s musical treasures remain accessible. For many, it’s a gateway to discovering the beauty of music that shaped generations.

The Digital Renaissance of Indian Music

Beyond individual platforms, the digital era is driving a larger movement to preserve and promote Indian music. AI and machine learning are being used to remaster old recordings, while social media is amplifying the reach of regional and classical music initiatives.

Collaborations between traditional artists and modern creators are also on the rise, giving India’s music a contemporary twist without diluting its essence. These efforts highlight the importance of balancing innovation with preservation, ensuring that Indian music continues to thrive in the digital age.

Challenges in Preserving Traditional Music

While technology has provided new avenues, challenges persist. Many traditional forms of music struggle with dwindling audiences and lack of funding. Additionally, the dominance of mainstream genres often overshadows regional and classical music.

However, the increasing focus on cultural preservation, driven by platforms like Saregama and efforts by independent artists, offers hope. With continued support from technology and audiences, traditional music can overcome these hurdles and remain a vibrant part of India’s identity.

Conclusion

In the digital age, India’s musical roots are finding a new lease of life. From streaming platforms to apps like Saregama and tools like Shazam, technology is enabling listeners to rediscover and appreciate the country’s rich musical heritage.

Artists like Sana are proving that tradition and innovation can coexist, creating a harmonious blend that resonates with global audiences.
