On his 43rd birthday, Ranbir Kapoor gave fans something extra. The actor went live on Instagram through his brand ARKS’s account and ended up chatting about films, music, and of course, his personal favorites.

What caught everyone’s attention was Ranbir Kapoor praising Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, a Malayalam hit that’s been buzzing for weeks now.

“I recently saw the film. It was just excellent. I like the music of Lokah,” Ranbir Kapoor said, adding that songs like Sahiba and Barbaad from Saiyaara have been on repeat in his playlist.
