Clue ( a PJ , to be frank
) added for Q No. 396 . Give it another shot , all of you .
What’s the good connect ?

A

B
Quoting Appu ,
“Among numerous musicians who have, in full or in part, borrowed or sampled from Ennio Morricone’s ( A ) ‘Good, Bad and Ugly‘ Theme are Gorillaz (Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn – B , who composed for Monkey: Journey to the West), whose 2001 debut single, “Clint Eastwood”, was so named because it reminded the group of Morricone’s theme and its melodic structure”
Long winded , but definitely the rite answer
Full points to The Good , The Bad and the Queen connection as well even though thats not what I was looking for .

With apologies for the late posting, what’s the joke daa?
Copy-pasting from Appu who copy-pasted from a reliable source:
“The award Latraviata is receiving parodies the César Award given by the French Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema. The first César Award for Best Actress was given to Romy Schneider (who resembles Latraviata) in 1976.”
Appu, Rithwik, Shrey Goyal, Anagh, Comfortably and Technically dumb, Puzzleshooter and the young man who used to be a regular at Thrissur’s most famous theatre before it was renovated, Anil Raghavan, gets it right.
