Welcome to Cyrus Says!
In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Jonty Rhodes and Dr. Marcus Ranney for a lively chat about fitness, aging well, recovery, stress, and building healthy habits that actually last.

They talk about staying active as life changes, the link between body and mind, why community matters in fitness, and how small daily choices can make a big difference over time. Along the way, Cyrus does what he does best and turns the conversation into something far more chaotic, funny, and unpredictable than planned.

They’re also here to introduce their brand new show, Jonty and the Doc, streaming on the IVM Podcasts YouTube channel, with new episodes every Thursday.

If you’ve been thinking about health, fitness, or just how to feel better as you get older, this one’s for you.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode of Cyrus Says Cock & Bull, Cyrus Broacha is joined by Karan Mirchandani and Shreemi Verma, the hosts of Cine5, and the conversation goes completely off track almost immediately.

What starts with Mumbai cab prices and the pain of getting across the city quickly turns into a full-blown spiral through Bollywood, cricket, AI, actors, awkward sets, strange industry stories, and some truly questionable detours.

If you’re looking for structure, discipline, or clean transitions, this is not that episode.
If you enjoy film talk, random opinions, and conversations that keep getting worse in the funniest way possible, you’re in the right place.

And to our regular listeners, welcome back home!

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with Devraj Sanyal — CEO & MD of Universal Music India and one of the most influential figures in the global music industry.

But before running one of the biggest music companies in the world, Devraj was the frontman of the legendary Indian heavy metal band Brahma that dominated the Indian rock scene in the 90s.

Devraj shares the fascinating journey from performing live gigs and selling 77,000 cassette albums in the 90s to shaping the careers of some of the biggest artists in India and globally.

They discuss:

• The early days of Indian rock bands like Parikrama & Pentagram
• How artists actually make money today through streaming
• Why India still struggles to pay for music
• The future of Bollywood music and independent artists
• Universal Music’s role in building artists like AP Dhillon, Badshah and Anuv Jain
• The rise of live concerts and global touring
• Why mental wellness music is the next big industry

Devraj also explains how Universal Music focuses on artists and creativity first, and why understanding musicians is his biggest advantage as a CEO.

If you've ever wondered how the music industry really works, this episode is a must-watch.

Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna joins Cyrus Broacha for a fascinating conversation about music, culture, and breaking traditions.

Known for challenging the conventions of classical music, TM Krishna explains why Carnatic music should not be limited to elite spaces — and why art must constantly evolve.

In this episode we discuss:

• What Carnatic music really is
• Why classical music often feels inaccessible
• The role of improvisation in Indian classical music
• Music, caste and social hierarchies
• Whether art and politics can ever be separated
• Why audiences misunderstand classical music
• How tradition and innovation can coexist

A thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion on music, culture and the future of classical art.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode of Cock & Bull, Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedian Punit Pania and the conversation goes off the rails almost immediately.

They jump from Mumbai local train behaviour and people blasting reels in public to fake AI videos, global news confusion.

It’s messy, opinionated, and constantly going off on random tangents which is exactly how Cock & Bull works.

If you’re looking for structured debate or calm discussion, this is not that episode.
If you enjoy chaos, random opinions, and conversations that go completely off track, you’re in the right place.

Rahul Bhat joins Cyrus Broacha to talk about his unpredictable journey — from accidental modelling at 19 to overnight TV superstardom, a major film flop, and then disappearing for nearly 9 years.

In this candid conversation, Rahul opens up about:

• Winning Mr India “by mistake”
• Hina’s record-breaking TRPs
• His first big film failing
• The depression that followed
• Why he took a 9-year break to study world cinema
• Producing hit TV shows quietly
• How Anurag Kashyap cast him in Ugly without an audition
• The improvisation magic behind Gangs of Wasseypur & Ugly
• Becoming Kennedy — a ruthless insomniac cop
• Why cinema is a collaboration, not a solo art

From superstardom to reinvention, this is Rahul Bhat like you’ve never seen him.

From selling recharge coupons in Mumbai to building a ₹40,000 crore brand — Madhav Sheth shares the real story behind Realme and India’s tech revolution.

In this explosive episode, we discuss:

• Why India has no global electronics brand
• How China built $500B export ecosystems
• The future of zero-labour robotic factories
• Why marketing budgets are overrated
• How Realme disrupted offline retail
• “Network is your net worth”
• Why failure is more important than success
• AI controlling decisions & consumer behaviour
• Why luxury is just pricing psychology
• Why he still flies economy despite massive success

This is a raw, unfiltered masterclass on entrepreneurship, consumer psychology, AI, and India’s manufacturing future.

Kaneez Surka is back in India and within minutes this episode turns into absolute Cock & Bull chaos.

We start with her “Foreign Returns” tour and somehow end up debating marriage, men being “too much work,” NRIs with identity confusion, and whether Vikhroli was secretly named after Virat Kohli. (It wasn’t. We think.)

Somewhere in between, we spiral into:
– A doctor scoring 9/800 and still getting a PG seat
– Social media bans for kids under 16
– Identical twins with identical JEE scores
– A ₹1 lakh luxury shirt that looks iron-burnt
– A student trying to pass exams with a ₹100 bribe
– And an AI expo controversy that raised more questions than answers

It’s loud, it’s messy, it’s wildly opinionated and very classic Cock & Bull.

If you enjoy conversations that start in South Bombay and somehow end in Vikhroli (via Bill Gates), this one’s for you.
