Barood 1998 hindi
How exactly were those goons torturing Akshay Kumar?(166.216.158.127 (talk) 15:51, 6 April 2017 (UTC)).
 * For reference, Akshay Kumar is an actor and Barood is a film he was in. If the torture was not in the film, we're not likely able to tell you much. Sometimes, draft versions of the script may get leaked, allowing you to get more insight into what was intended, but even that isn't really the answer. What happened to the character is either shown or not shown, discussed or not discussed; there's no "underlying reality" we could investigate. Matt Deres (talk) 16:19, 6 April 2017 (UTC

I can't See it Properly on my Computer. Can anyone just please watch Barood for that Particular Scene when Akshay gets Arested by Dirty Cops so You can Tell me Clearly Exactly what did They do to Akshay? For example Electrocution, Stabbing, Etc?(166.216.158.127 (talk) 16:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)).


 * Hey 166.216.158.127. I'm trying to figure it out too. It's crystal clear on mine, but really hard to decipher. The clip is here: Barood 1998 Torture Scene @ 1:54:40. Maybe you can see it better; or another editor can watch it and catch what they're doing. Good luck! PS Matt Deres ... what are you talking about!? Maineartists (talk) 17:34, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * There are usually quite strict rules about what can be shown in films - so if someone is tortured it is normal not to show it in full, but just to do enough to make it plain that torture has happened. You will get back views of people, but not see what they are actually doing. There will be screams, and you may then see wounds. But if they showed the actual act of torturing someone, the film would probably be banned, or they would have to cut those scenes. Wymspen (talk) 17:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Before any other editor comments with hyperbole on the film industry, on closer examination: I just realized what they are doing: they have restrained him in a chair by neck clamps and a back-yoke and pulled his fingernail off. One of the guards is holding it up in front of him as he screams. Maineartists (talk) 17:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Zara Larsson song writers
Hi! Does anybody know who wrote the Zara Larsson songs "DarkSide" and "Cash Me Out". I can't seem to find the writer(s) for either song. Both songs were from her EP Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself. Thanks, Jith12 (talk) 20:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
