Career

Acting

In 2015, Darbuka Siva made his debut as an actor in the heist action-thriller Rajathandhiram, where he played the character of Austin D'Costa. Baradwaj Rangan, a film critic wrote: "Darbuka Siva, walks off with the film in his pocket. He has a great face for the movies (he may remind you of Dominique Pinon), and at a time comedy has been reduced to tired one-liners, it's a pleasure to be reminded of wit and timing."[1]

Composer

In August 2016, Siva released his first ever full-length album as a music director for a feature film titled Kidaari.[2] The album received rave reviews for its organic sounds and the blend of Tamil folk music with contemporary sounds.[3]

During late 2016 Siva started working with Gautham Menon on making songs for Enai Noki Paayum Thota. The first single of the film, Maruvaarthai was released on New Year's Eve of 2016 with credits to a certain Mr.X as the music composer. The song was a hit as well as the Mr.X campaign itself.During September 2017, Gautham Menon confirmed that Darbuka Siva was the much talked about Mr.X.[4][5]
