Actress-singer Dot., whose real name is Aditi Saigal, has unveiled her latest single, ‘Girls Night’, slated for release through the Welsh singles label, The Playbook. ‘Girls Night’ is a musical leap forward for Dot., embracing a sunny Motown-infused jazz-pop vibe.

Explaining the inspiration behind the track, Dot. said: “Girls Night is about two of my closest friends. We buy loads of wine and have the best, most intelligent and empathetic conversations. We laugh, we’re sensitive, we can be rowdy, we talk about boys, we sometimes don’t know what it is we’re feeling – but we do it together and that makes life a little easier.”

“The song tries to reflect that kind of friendship.”

Actress-musician Aditi Saigal, professionally known as Dot, has shared what inspires her music. Dot made her acting debut with the Zoya Akhtar directorial ‘The Archies’. Dot’s music is very rustic and feels refreshing in the age where composers often use sounds generated from softwares and commercial loops. That’s because Dot finds her inspiration in everyday things like creaking doors and auto rickshaw rides.

The actress also released her streaming album titled ‘Practice Rooms’ recently.

Talking about what inspires the musician in her, Dot said: “Little things like cracking paint, creaking doors and auto rickshaw rides. Sometimes there are people in my life who are characters I just need to write about. Other times it’s more reflective. But the general flavour of my writing comes from a poetry of the ordinary.”

When asked if acting has in any way affected the musician in her, she said: “Yes I mean everything I do,...

Actress-singer Aditi Saigal, professionally known as Dot, who made her acting debut with the streaming movie ‘The Archies’, released her streaming album titled ‘Practice Rooms’ on Wednesday.

The album consists of her fan-favourite YouTube songs.

Dot broke out on the internet via YouTube with her viral song ‘Everybody Dances To Techno’.

The singer has released 10 tracks including popular songs like ‘Asymmetrical’, which is also a part of ‘The Archies’ album, and ‘Lillian’, and others. These songs were composed over the last seven years.

Talking about the same, Dot said: “I wrote these songs when I was in college in Wales, and as such, the lyrical content is reflective of that time in my life. Bangor is a seaside university town in North Wales so some of the imagery in the music was naturally picked up from lush countryside, the charm of the Welsh people and of course college life, heartbreak and friendship.

Actress Dot, whose real name is Aditi Saigal, debuted in the Hindi film industry with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’, which she says allowed her to express herself both through music and acting.

Dot played Ethel in the musical.

The actress has written and sang all four Dear Diary themes picturised on Khushi Kapoor, as well as lent her voice to the character of Betty (Khushi), singing and composing the song ‘Asymmetrical’.

She has also sung the other two chartbusters ‘Dhishoom Dhishoom’ and ‘Sunoh’.

Dot said: “I’m thrilled with the overwhelming love ‘The Archies’ music is receiving from listeners. Music is a big part of my identity, since I was a songwriter long before I ventured into the film industry. ‘The Archies’ allowed me to express myself both through music and acting, so naturally it will always be my most cherished project.”

The actress added: “This album was particularly...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5 Episode 4, “Insolubilia.”] Fargo‘s fifth year took a terrifying turn for Dot (Juno Temple) and her family in Episode 4, “Insolubilia,” as Gator (Joe Keery) the son of her possessive former husband Roy (Jon Hamm), broke in with intentions to kidnap her. The Halloween-timed scheme unfolds in her booby-trapped home while her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) and daughter Scotty (Sienna King) take temporary refuge in the attic of their home until their hideaway is uncovered. While Dot takes on the kidnappers single-handedly for the first half of the break-in, soon the whole family is involved as Wayne listens to her instructions but begs for answers as to why this mystery man is calling his wife “Nadine.” Once the immediate threats are neutralized, Dot tells her family to escape down the laundry shoot, but Wayne opts for the trellis out his and Dot’s bedroom window, forgetting that she’s...

Dot successfully evades capture and fights back against the attackers who break into her house, even electrocuting her own husband by accident. Dot's house burns down, adding another strange situation she has to explain to the authorities and her mother-in-law. The FBI agents discover that Dot, one of Sheriff Tillman's missing wives, has been hiding under a different name and that Tillman has his own militia that the FBI is afraid to confront.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5 (up to episode 4).

Fargo season 5, episode 4, “Insolubilia,” is jam-packed with shocking revelations about the characters and major developments in the plot, like Deputy Indira Olmstead’s connection to Lorraine Lyon and the mysterious fate of Sheriff Roy Tillman’s other missing wife. This episode follows on from last week’s cliffhanger ending, in which Tillman’s loyal son Gator and his crew found Dot’s suburban home late on...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5, Episode 4, “Insolubilia.”] Fargo‘s fifth installment has already paid homage to Tim Burton‘s The Nightmare Before Christmas, but there’s a new homage breaking loose in the fourth episode as Joe Keery‘s Gator Tillman takes up a nail bat, a.k.a. zombie killer, a.k.a. Steve Harrington’s — his Stranger Things character — weapon of choice. Described as a zombie killer in this iteration, the nail bat isn’t strange to Keery, who has swung a similar deadly weapon more than once in the Netflix series, first and foremost to kill or attack the Demogorogon. But this time around, Keery’s character isn’t fighting any Demogorgons. Instead, his character, Gator, threatens Juno Temple‘s Dot Lyon. Sent to kidnap his father’s runaway bride, Dot has concocted a house of horrors (just in time for Halloween!) to try and deflect her would-be captors. Her...

This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5 episode 4.

Something festive, something spooky, something downright oogie boogie has been lurking around Fargo season 5 since its very first scene.

Flash back, if you will, to the opening moments of episode 1 “The Tragedy of the Commons.” The viewer is immediately thrust into chaos. Punches are being thrown at a meeting of the Fall Festival Planning Committee in Scandia Middle School. Look past the melee of writhing white Midwesterners towards to stage and what do you see? That’s right: crude plywood renderings of the iconic landscapes from the 1993 animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Later on, as Dorothy Lyon (Juno Temple) is being escorted out of the school, we see two Nightmare Before Christmas posters, confirming it as Scandia Middle School’s fall show.

Now, at the beginning of episode 4 “Insolubilia,” Fargo season 5 kicks its Nightmare Before Christmas appreciation up a notch. Not...

Gator (Joe Keery) and his three minions make their move as FX’s Fargo season five episode four, “Insolubilia,” gets underway. The foursome splits into two twosomes and enters the Lyons’ home. Are they surprised to find the doors unlocked? Probably, but it’s impossible to tell because of their Nightmare Before Christmas masks.

Armed with tasers, knives, and guns – and half a brain between them – they slowly make their way through the house. Smoke pours out of the oven and Dot (Juno Temple) watches from inside a closet, waiting to launch her attack.

The tension ratchets up along with the action as the lights go out, a smoke alarm sounds, and a strobe light flashes. It turns out the strobe light’s coming from a plastic jack-o-lantern with a maniacal laugh. While one intruder’s distracted looking at the pumpkin,...

This isn’t the first time Noah Hawley’s show has trespassed into a realm that isn’t too keen on keeping a healthy, amicable relationship with beings of flesh and blood. But this may just be the first time that Fargo is truly terrifying. We’re done with the chucklesome flying saucers and antagonists who seem practically otherworldly. Frankly, none of that had the air of menace that surrounds the main villain of this season—Ole Munch—holding us hostage in the limbo where we’re unsure as to what it is we’re dealing with here. The bloodcurdling fear that Hawley associates with the otherwise much-played-out theme of debt is what keeps the air heavy in the third episode of Fargo season 5. God might’ve checked out already. Who saves Dot and the people after her?

There's a fair amount of special effects makeup required to make the FX series "Fargo" come to life, in large part because of the brutal violence that plays out every season. On season 5, however, there was a very different kind of prosthetic work required, and it had everything to do with Jon Hamm's character, a conservative Christian sheriff who's as corrupt as they come. Hamm plays North Dakota lawman Roy Tillman, who first served as sheriff of his county when he was only 25 years old, and it's led him to believe he can do whatever he wants, legal or not. Aided by his cadre of corrupt cops, Tillman shows that he's not afraid to play really dirty, especially when it comes to his frustrations with Minnesota housewife Dot (Juno Temple). 

It might seem like he's not really the kind of guy who would have nipple piercings, but as showrunner...

It’s the Home Alone episode for Noah Hawley’s Fargo, except it’s not Christmas and there are no laughs — it’s Halloween, there are kidnappers, and they’re coming to get Dorothy (Juno Temple). The trailer of Fargo, Season 4, Episode 4 reveals a Dot who isn’t afraid anymore. She is cornered up against Gator and her ex-husband Roy Tillman’s (Jon Hamm) two henchmen. Dorothy also has a whole fortress set up to protect herself and her daughter, but how far is she going to go? We’ll have to wait till December 5, 2023, to find out!

‘The Archies’ does not just mark Vedang’s debut as an actor but as a singer too. The actor who plays Reggie Mantle in the film has lent his voice to the song ‘Everything Is Politics’.

The song is a groovy, peppy number that literally gets you hooked. Everything Is Politics has gotten music from Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy, and is quite a mood lifter.

Talking about the song, ‘Everything Is Politics’, Vedang said: ” I’ve always loved singing and music, so doing playback for my own character in the film was a dream come true and I’m extremely excited for it.”

Fargo season 5 hints that Sheriff Tillman's close-knit community may be a cult due to his ruthless rule and intimidating tactics. Tillman's immense power and the desperation to bring back escapees suggest that his community is more than just a rural neighborhood, but a cult. The revelation of Tillman having multiple wives, a common trait of cult leaders, further supports the idea that his seemingly peaceful community is actually a cult.

Fargo season 5 has dropped a few hints that Jon Hamm’s villain, Sheriff Roy Tillman, could be a cult leader – but is his close-knit community a full-blown cult? The season revolves around Tillman’s quest to capture his estranged wife Dot Lyon, who ran away to start a new life in Minnesota with a new husband called Wayne. Tillman is shown to be a ruthless tyrant who rules his county with an iron fist, intimidating his constituents with threats of violence from his goon squad.

The following contains spoilers for Fargo season 5, episode 3.

The cliffhanger ending of Fargo season 5 episode 3 has references to The Nightmare Before Christmas. Noah Hawley chose the movie because it can be enjoyed both during Christmas and Halloween. The Halloween theme in the episode allowed for interesting narrative opportunities and unique storytelling.

Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley explains season 5, episode 3's cliffhanger ending and its The Nightmare Before Christmas references. Hawley’s Coen Brothers-inspired series is back for season 5 on FX, and episode 1 took the show all the way back to its roots for a story that remixes the plot of the 1996 Fargo film in interesting and clever ways. The season’s creepy goings-on have been emphasized by its Halloween-time setting, and by a sprinkling of references to Tim Burton’s classic 1993 stop-motion movie and its memorable main character, Jack Skellington.

Fargo season 5, episode 3 took the Burton influence even further, with its...

Netflix’s The Archies held a star-studded music album launch event to showcase the brilliant songs on the soundtrack. The film’s ensemble cast including Dot (Aditi), Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda along with the filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and music team, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Ankur Tewari, Tejas and Shivam Mahadevan unveiled the 16-song album and even treated the audience by performing some of the tunes.

‘The Archies’ album features collaborations with celebrated artists including lyricist Javed Akhtar and Dot, music composers Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and singers like Arijit Singh, Ankur Tewari and The Islanders. The album, a 16-track masterpiece, includes the hits ‘Sunoh,’ ‘Va Va Voom’ and ‘In Raahon Mein,’ along with other newly released songs such as ‘Dear Diary,’ ‘Jab Tum Na Theen,’ ‘Dhishoom Dhishoom’, ‘Lonely July,’ ‘Everything is Politics,’ ‘Plum Pudding,’ ‘Yeh Saari Aawazein,’ ‘Choona Aasmaan,’ and ‘Asymmetrical,’ among others.

A surprising moment in Fargo season 5 is a flashback to 16th-century Wales, which has a subtle connection to Ole Munch's role in the season. In the flashback, a man resembling Ole Munch is hired as a sin-eater at a funeral, consuming a meal representing the dead man's sins. This ritual parallels Ole Munch's role as a kidnapper-for-hire seeking revenge. The Wales flashback suggests that the sin-eating ritual and Ole Munch's revenge plot both involve making the guilty parties pay for their sins.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5.

One of the most surprising moments in Fargo season 5 is a flashback to Wales in the 1500s – but what does the flashback mean, and how does it connect to Ole Munch? Fargo season 5 stars Juno Temple as seemingly ordinary housewife Dot Lyon and Jon Hamm as the charismatic yet menacing Sheriff Roy Tillman, Dot’s estranged husband who’s determined to capture her.

Fargo season 5, episode 3 reveals Tillman's cover-up of a cop's death to keep his criminal operation hidden. Gator steals evidence from Iron Mike's murder, raising suspicions and creating a potential obstacle for Tillman. Dot wants to arm herself to protect her family but faces a waiting period, leading to alternative methods of defense.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5, episode 3.

From a scandalous cover-up in Sheriff Tillman’s department to a shocking cliffhanger involving Gator’s breakthrough discovery about Dot, there were a ton of big reveals in Fargo season 5, episode 3. Titled “The Paradox of Intermediate Transactions,” the episode revolves around Dot’s attempts to keep her family safe and protect her home from Tillman’s forces, which are on their way to capture her and bring her back to him. Meanwhile, Deputy Witt Farr’s investigation gets a little deeper and Lorraine grows even more distrustful of her daughter-in-law.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5, Episodes 1-3.] When it comes to Fargo, the series isn’t one you’d expect to pull blatant influences from other popular culture, but Year 5 is flipping the script a bit with its Nightmare Before Christmas influences. As viewers who tuned into the first three episodes saw, and heard, there is more than one allusion to the Tim Burton stop-motion animated classic. The first tease occurs while Dot (Juno Temple) attempts to sleep after being booked by the police in the first installment, “The Tragedy of the Commons.” Fearful about what might be coming for her, we see a flash of masked individuals donning the likeness of Jack Skellington and other characters from the film. (Credit: FX) And as the second episode, “Trials and Tribulations,” comes to a close, Dot sits down to dinner with her husband Wayne (David Rysdahl) and daughter Scotty (Sienna King) at the moment...

Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) is listening to “Sixteen Tons” on the radio while he rolls up to the murder scene/gas station as FX’s Fargo season five episode three gets underway. For once, his son Gator (Joe Keery) has done the right thing by not broadcasting the fact Ole Munch killed his partner and left a menacing sign on his dead body. So far, only Roy’s aware the gas station’s upped its body count by one.

Gator praises Ole Munch’s big balls, and Roy points out Munch has altered the size of Gator’s. They’ve gotten smaller.

Roy orders Gator to dig up all the info he can on Ole Munch. And he warns his son to sleep with his gun cocked until the situation’s handled.

Fargo season 5 closely mirrors the plot of the original Coen brothers movie, with similarities including an abducted Midwestern housewife and reluctant in-laws. The TV show pays homage to the movie with similar scenes, such as the housewife fighting back against the kidnappers and the constant bickering between the kidnapping duo. While there are parallels between Fargo season 5 and the movie, the TV show takes its own unique twists and turns, deviating from the original narrative.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Fargo season 5.

Fargo season 5 is the closest that the FX anthology series has come to directly adapting the plot of the original Coen brothers movie – but exactly how close are the similarities? Created by Noah Hawley, Fargo is a TV adaptation of the Coens’ film that shares its title and its tongue-in-cheek claim that the fictional events of its storylines are based on true events. But rather than remaking the Oscar-winning classic,...

After a three year run playing Keeley Jones on “Ted Lasso” that earned her three Primetime Emmy nominations, Juno Temple’s role in the critically acclaimed Season 5 of “Fargo” should keep her in the prestige TV limelight for another awards season. Both shows saw the British actress stretch her acting chops to perform in an unfamiliar dialect — and working on both shows at the same time came with its own slate of unexpected challenges.

In a new interview with Business Insider, Temple recalled doing the work of developing her Minnesota accent to play Dorothy “Dot” Lyon on “Fargo” while simultaneously filming “Ted Lasso” with her character’s distinct Essex accent.

One might think TV would take a break during the week of Thanksgiving, but they’d be wrong. The fifth installment of Noah Hawley’s “Fargo” premiered this week on FX. A return to form for the Emmy-winning anthology series, the darkly funny new season is set in 2019 and stars Emmy nominee Juno Temple as Dot Lyon, a Midwestern housewife and mother whose past begins to catch up with her after she’s arrested at a school board meeting for accidentally tasering a cop.

As has become the norm, this season of “Fargo” is ridiculously stacked with talent. Emmy winner Jon Hamm, who is coming off the third season of “The Morning Show,” portrays Roy Tillman, a larger-than-life North Dakota sheriff looking for Dot with the help of his son Gator, portrayed by “Stranger Things” fan favorite Joe Keery. Meanwhile, Jennifer Jason Leigh more than holds her own as Dot’s wealthy and disapproving mother-in-law,...

Fargo season 5 takes place in 2019 and returns to its Minnesota roots, featuring a mysterious housewife with a dangerous past. Dot Lyons, played by Juno Temple, becomes connected to North Dakota Sheriff Roy Tillman, portrayed by Jon Hamm. Dave Foley plays Danish Graves, Lorraine's right-hand man, who is responsible for carrying out her dark whims and protecting the Lyons family.

Fargo season 5 premiered its first 2 episodes, setting the stage for another storyline about Midwestern murder and mayhem. Based on the Coen Brothers' 1996 black comedy, the anthology series from Noah Hawley skips from location to location each year in pursuit of another investigation. Season 5 takes place in 2019, making it the closest to the present day thus far, and returns the show to its Minnesota roots with Ted Lasso's Juno Temple leading the cast as Dot Lyons.

While seemingly a harmless housewife, Fargo season 5 quickly reveals Dot to have a mysterious and...

Fargo season 5 introduces a new cast of characters, including Dot Lyon, played by Juno Temple, a housewife with secrets who is mysteriously kidnapped. Sam Spruell plays Ole Munch, a drifter hired to track down Dot, who possesses supernatural qualities and defies the laws of physics.

“Minnesota nice” isn’t how I’d describe the biblical school board meeting brawl that pulls us into the 5th season of Noah Hawley’s freaky take on the 1996 Coen brothers classic, Fargo. But then again, when does Hawley’s show ever domesticate itself within the frame it constructs in every season? I didn’t see a fifth season coming and giving us another chance to gawk at some bizarre happenings around Minnesota. And boy, have I missed the snowy terrain preserving trippy secrets and loops of convoluted family dynamics!

Spoilers Ahead

What’s Going On With The Lyons?

First things first, although this is a disclaimer mainly meant for the newcomers joining the Fargo in its 5th installment, take the title card’s ‘true-story’ claims at the start of each episode with a grain of salt. None of it is true, to say the least, and the longer you...

FX’s Fargo directed by Noah Hawley, and based on the 1996 film of the same name helmed by the Coen Brothers, is back for Season 5 and has released two episodes so far. FX has released a new teaser following the second episode, offering a sneak peek into what’s coming next. A lot has already happened — including Dot’s arrest and her escape from her kidnappers, Lorraine speculating about Dot faking her kidnapping, and Tillman referring to Dot as his wife.

Plot: The latest installment of Fargo is set in Minnesota and North Dakota, 2019. After an unexpected series of events lands Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon in hot water with the authorities, this seemingly typical Midwestern housewife is suddenly plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind.

Review: Before the first season of Fargo premiered in 2014, I thought it was a bad idea. It should have been a clue that Noah Hawley’s series would be a masterpiece since it came with The Coen Brothers’ approval. A decade later, the fifth entry in the anthology series is arriving, set in the pre-pandemic year of 2019. Following the series alternating historical and contemporary timelines, the new season trades period settings of the 1970s and 1920s for a familiar-looking world anchored in the political divide of liberals and conservatives that raged those four long years ago. But, rather than being a story about politics,...

When Dot goes missing after being kidnapped in the premiere episode, she turns up back at her Minnesota home, only to pretend that none of it happened.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Fargo Year 5, Episode 1, “The Tragedy of the Commons,” & Episode 2, “Trials and Tribulations.” ] Fargo Year 5 has arrived, and with it comes one heck of a Midwest twist, not just on themes presented in the 1996 film but also regarding the motivations of key characters. While fans were teased about a kidnapping involving Juno Temple‘s Minnesota housewife Dot Lyon led by Jon Hamm‘s North Dakota sheriff Roy Tillman, the true nature of their relationship hadn’t been revealed until now. Fans who tuned in learned that Dot is actually Nadine, and she is Roy’s runaway bride who has assumed a new identity and life in the nine or ten years since she fled. Living under the name Dorothy Lyon, she’s married to meek car dealer Wayne (David Rysdahl), who is loosely based on William H. Macy‘s Jerry Lundegaard from the Coen brothers film. Unlike Jerry, though, Wayne has no insider ...
