The documentary takes the viewer into the life of Indian rapper Emiway Bantai. From his struggles to his process of making music - the film engages with all the aspects of the creation of his art. The first part of a series by Red Bull, the episode delves into the mind of the rapper and emerges with a detailed breakdown of his individual style of rapping. The film is an editing feat achieved most seamlessly, and yet, made to look effortless. Without its surreal, magical edit, very much in tandem with the theme of the episode and its subject, the film won't be the wonderful product it is. The subsequent episodes of the series will further introduce you to the processes and passion of actors, artists, standup comics, dancers, designers, filmmakers, athletes and more.

Emiway Bantai - The Mind Behind | Short Film of the Day

The song is worthy of your attention if you're an admirer of Indian hip-hoppers and their commentary on contemporary times. The video in itself does not exhibit extraordinary visuals or camerawork. However, you would not want to let this aspect keep you away from the song once you start paying attention to the lyrics. Emiway sings about his competition, asserting how he has been accepted by his fans. He draws the listener's attention to his "organic" fame, unlike those of his competitors who invest in marketing and self-promotion to get ahead.
The song closes with the message that though everyone has enough to take care of their needs, in the desire to one-up one another, we often lose ourselves to the glamour of the world.

Emiway - Zaruratich Nai Hai | Short Film of the Day

Following close at the heels of Zaruratich Nahi Hai comes another hip-hop track by Emiway. There are echoes of the sentiment of the previous track in Sab Kuch New where the singer again talks about his rise to fame and how he owes it to his fans. He further takes the listener into the story of his struggle, sharing with them the toughest hours, along with the reminder that it indeed is darkest before dawn. Without sounding preachy or didactic, the song has some advice to share with all those at different points of their struggles. Set to a catchy tune, Sab Kuch New has potential to connect with its listeners and hip-hop aficionados in a lasting way.
