Bhuvan Bam, Ashish Chanchlani among YouTube stars in 'The Lockdown Rap'

Mumbai, April 11 (IANS) Bhuvan Bam, Prajakta Koli, and Ashish Chanchlani are among a slew of Indian YouTube stars who feature in "The Lockdown Rap", a peppy track inspiring people to keep their morale high in the battle against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.





The rap song is sung by SSD (Shubham) and is inspired by the "Asli hip hop" number in Zoya Akhtar's 2019 film, Gully Boy", starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt.





"The melody of the song is already hit but the lyrics are completely new. I am glad to be a part of this video which is our little contribution towards spreading awareness in society. I am grateful for all the people who are putting their lives at risk for our country. I urge people to stay at home and practice social distancing," Bhuvan Bam said.





Internet sensations Be YouNick, Mumbiker Nikhil, Harsh Beniwal, Tanmay Bhatt, Beer Biceps, Technical Guruji, Anmol Sachar, Kunal Chhabhria, and Akash Dodeja are among many others who feature in the video, shot individually by each artist in their respective homes.





According to Ashish Chanchlani, it "is the best way to reach out to the masses and tell them how important it is to stay at home in a situation like this".





"When you listen to the lyrics it is relatable to our situation of lockdown. The music video gives out a very important message without being preachy and in the correct lingo like the line 'Saath Milkar Hatao Iss Haiwaan Ko'," Ashish said.





"The Lockdown Rap" is written by YouTubers Kunal Chhabhria and Anmol Sachar.

10 Quick Expert Tricks to Get More Subscribers on YouTube Youtube

10 Quick Expert Tricks to Get More Subscribers on YouTube

10 Quick Expert Tricks to Get More Subscribers on YouTube 10 Quick Expert Tricks to Get More Subscribers on YouTube Growing a YouTube channel requires more than posting videos and hope the algorithm works. The truth is, there are innumerable creators competing for attention every day, so you must go beyond the fundamentals to get subscribers.  Forget the "œconsistency" and "œmake better thumbnails" advice you"™ve heard so many times. Those matter, but they won't set you apart. Be more strategic, and give individuals reasons to click that red button without hesitation. Many YouTube creators neglect these ten fast but powerful tricks to obtain more subscribers. 1. Share a Direct Subscribe Link Everywhere Give viewers a direct way to subscribe to your videos instead of asking. Make a custom subscribe link that automatically subscribes viewers when they click it. Your video descriptions, social media bios, and email signatures can include this link. There"™s a simple way to generate one in seconds with tools like the TubePilot subscribe link generator. This little shortcut removes friction, and that"™s exactly what you want if you"™re serious about growing your numbers. 2. Use Playlists Like Funnels Many creators create playlists, but few use them as subscriber funnels. Do more than organize videos by topic, consider watch flow. Build a playlist on your gaming channel that starts with your most entertaining "œentry-level" material and naturally moves to your more specialty videos. Video playlists should end with your strongest subscription call-to-action. Auto-playing playlists keep viewers engaged and encourage channel subscriptions. 3. Pin Subscriber Magnets in Comments Every video has a top comment slot waiting to be used, and pinning your own comment is one of the easiest wins. Instead of a generic "œlike and subscribe," use that space to drop a compelling reason to subscribe, tied directly to the video"™s content. For instance, if your video is about quick dinners, pin "Want more 10-minute meals like this?" Subscribe and I"™ll send fresh ideas every week." The difference is subtle but effective it gives a reason, not just an instruction. 4. Build Anticipation With Mini-Series Try short series instead of one-offs. A three- or four-part series intrigues viewers and encourages them to subscribe. The idea is to gently suggest a follow-up. Think cliffhangers, "œnext episode drops Thursday," or holding a question until part two. Television networks have employed this strategy for decades, and it works on YouTube too. 5. Offer Subscribers Only Perks Outside YouTube Many creators view YouTube alone, but you may boost subscribers by linking them to other benefits. Consider opening a secret Discord channel for subscribers or hosting a monthly Q&A for subscribers exclusively. This strengthens the bond and makes subscription a portal to your community rather than a click. 6. Reuse High-Performing Hooks Across New Videos Every channel has a few videos that performed way above average. Study the intros of those videos. Did you open with a bold statement? A fast-paced cut? A relatable joke? Reuse those same styles of hooks in future videos. Subscribers don"™t just come from good endings, they come from strong starts that make people think, "œThis channel gets me." If your opening earns their attention, they"™re far more likely to subscribe. 7. Collaborate Below Your Tier, Not Just Above Most advice says "œcollab with bigger creators." Sure, that works if you can land those partnerships. But a faster way to build loyal subscribers is by collaborating with creators slightly smaller than you. Why? Their audience often sees you as a step up and is more open to subscribing to your channel. Smaller creators are also more eager to promote collaborations, which drives fresh traffic your way. 8. Frame Your Subscribe CTA Around What They"™ll Miss "œDon"™t forget to subscribe" is weak. "œSubscribe so you don"™t miss next week"™s guide to filming on a $100 budget" is specific. The idea is to frame subscribing as a way to avoid missing out on something valuable. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a strong motivator, and when you tie it to a concrete benefit, it works far better than generic requests. 9. Use Chapters to Win Binge Watchers Chapters (timestamps) make longer videos less scary. They allow viewers skip to the bit they care about, which ironically keeps them longer. A viewer who sees two or three pieces of your video feels like they've watched several mini-videos, which builds trust and encourages subscriptions. YouTube also awards chapters in search, making your video simpler to discover. 10. Consider Buying Subscribers From Organic Providers This is not the first lever you should pull, but it"™s worth mentioning because many creators secretly think about it. Buying subscribers can either destroy your channel or give it a boost, depending on how you do it. Avoid cheap bot services at all costs. If you go this route, only use providers that deliver real, organic subscribers who actually engage with your content. One example is LenosTube, a genuine site that offers growth rather than empty numbers. But consider it as a catalyst for your videos, not a replacement. Conclusion Minimizing friction, giving clear reasons to subscribe, and developing habits that keep viewers coming back get YouTube subscribers. Direct subscription links, subscriber-only bonuses, and mini-series are little but add up. Choose two or three from this list and implement them this week. If you do, the red button will light up more often than expected.

Backed by the vision of director Ayan Mukerji, the film extends the YRF Spy Universe and is already being touted as a box office juggernaut in the making. ## About Coolie ## Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie stars Rajinikanth in the lead, supported by a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and a special cameo by Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan Announces Paid YouTube Streaming Release Date of His Box Office Hit Sitaare Zameen Par

Mumbai, July 29 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is shaking up the Indian film distribution landscape with a historical move for his box office hit Sitaare Zameen Par. Although Aamir had already shared his plans regarding the future of his films, today, he confirmed the same. ## On Tuesday (July 29), the Dangal star announced that Sitaare Zameen Par will be released exclusively on YouTube Movies-on-Demand starting August 1. It will be available for rent at ₹100 ($1.15) in India and 38 international markets, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Germany, and Indonesia, with localised pricing for each territory. ## Aamir Khan told Variety that his long dream has been to make films available to almost every household in the country, as the people who watch movies in theatres are only 2-3% of the total population. He believes that subscription models are not economically viable for films to do that, not over a long-term period, hence he is favouring YouTube's pay-per-view model. ## This is a major move regarding the film's post-theatrical distribution, which could make streaming platforms uncomfortable. To take this approach, Aamir Khan reportedly rejected the offer of 120 crores from a leading streaming platform to sell the post-theatrical rights. ## Aamir Khan said, "If a family of four sits and watches the film, then it comes to ₹25 per head, which I think is a value that works not just for the audiences, but also allows filmmakers to earn so they can make better content."## Directed by RS Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Films, Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual successor to Khan's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, and also stars Genelia Deshmukh. It is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, and follows a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a tournament. ## Released on June 20, SZP has been a box office hit with the worldwide collection of around 270 crores gross. In India, the movie has made over 200 crores gross, while overseas collection is around 67 crores. The movie, meanwhile, will be available for pay-per-view streaming on YouTube after just 6 weeks of theatrical run. ## Stay tuned...
