Jalebi Bai - Double Dhamaal

Jalebi Bai from the movie Double Dhamaal is just another number that had to be put up in our collections here.
I am a little confused whether I like it or dislike it. My sane side tells me I'm not really going to fall for a song named Jalebi Bai ever :P but I also have a feeling this song won't be ignored.

There are always an audience that loves such music and songs. Therefore, Jalebi Bai will make space for itself.

However, I don't want to be biased as I do feel Mallika Sherawat looks pretty hot in this song. Her figure, hair and over all appearance is pretty awesome. She definitely steals the show. Compared to her appearance in Razia...I give her 10/10 for Jalebi Bai.

As for the movie, since I am not a fan of the Dhamal and Double Dhamaal series so there is nothing that I can really contribute on that. But for all those Jalebi Bai fans, you can enjoy the song one more time.

Sau Baras - Haunted 3D (2011)

As I mentioned in my post earlier on Haunted 3D's movie review that the music of this film is quite superb, here you can hear one of the songs that I liked a lot personally. 

Sau Baras is the song that the girl's ghost is heard singing in the mansion. And if you listen to it quietly you can only feel the pain associated with the character. Since, I really liked the song and I was lucky to find the lyrics too, I'm gonna share those as well.

Sau Baras guzre raat hue
Sau Baras guzre din hue
Sau Baras guzre chaand dikhe
Sau Baras guzre bin jiye
Kyun pal thertha hai yeh
Kyun wakt badalta nahin hai
Yeh raah suni hai kyun
Kyun koi nikhalta nahin hai
Sau Baras guzre saans liye
Sau Baras guzre bin jiye
Palkein hai khwabon se khali..
Dil hai ke bandh koi ghar..
Kabhi rang the
Nainon mein
Kabhi dil ko lagte the par..
Woh raat saheli meri
Sab taare chura le gayi hai
Woh dil... jo tha mera
Ab woh bhi mera nahin hai
Hai khaffa mujhse yaar mere
Kya path kab yeh phir mile
Hum toh charagon se jalke
Baithe hai umeed mein..
Kya jaane
Yeh kis ka
Rahein intezar hamein...
Koi... chule mejhe
Kyun aakhir yeh lagta hai dil ko
Saansein... bandh hai toh kya
Abhi bhi dharakta hai dil toh
Yeh tarap koi na.. sune
Na samjh yun hi
Dil hai yeh
Sau Baras guzre raat hue
Sau Baras guzre din hue

Zindagi Jeene Ka Naam Hai - James

Some songs can't be ignored and this particular one from the movie JAMES simply falls in the same category. The movie didn't really have any potential in it. Although the hero was good looking and this girl Nisha tries real hard to look all sexy, yet the movie didn't have much to it.

So, I'll just stick to this song. Zindagi Jeene Ka Naam Hai Jee Le is definitely an optimistic song that tells everyone to enjoy life to the max. If you try not to focus too much on the girl's sexual dance moves and concentrate on the lyrics, you'll see the lyrics are quite powerful.

Every time, I watch it I always say this round faced girl hardly wears anything but rags. But at the same time, she does justice to the song's video and doesn't look cheap. 

Naughty Naughty - CASH

I've never watched this movie CASH. I don't think I'll ever watch it either. However, this particular song from this movie is interesting.

It is not chic or romantic but it has something different about it. It has a catchy tune and the female vocals are sexy.  

Though every time I look at the video the only person who looks nice is Dia Mirza. Shamita Shetty looks hideous while Esha Deol looks silly. The boys look like monkeys but I guess that's what they were supposed to do. 

Having said all of that, I still like this song.

Chammak Challo - RA.One

Everybody is talking about this song Chammak Challo from the movie RA. One these days. The focus is firstly on the fact that Akon has sung this song while the rest of the hype is on Kareena Kapoor looking smoking hot in red.

I saw the video and couldn't understand what the entire hoopla is all about in the first place. This is a highly overrated song in my opinion. Even if Akon sang the song, its lyrics, music and the video has nothing that grows on you with time.

I find the choreography extremely weird. It could have been so much better had they chosen a better theme. For me the moves and the get up just doesn't work. The extras in the background look irritating as well.

Shahrukh Khan, on the other hand looks OLD and BAD. If there is anything good about this song it's got to be Kareena Kapoor although she too has not done anything spectacularly new. She has given the same age old iconic expressions of hers but she does look nice and one must give her at least a few points for that.

Anyway, since Chammak Challo is the new hot and people are blindly loving it enjoy all who wanted to watch and hear this one more time.

Main Aisa Kyun Hoon - Lakshya

If there is any Bollywood song that I admire for its unbelievable awesome choreography every single time I watch it - it has to be Main Aisa Kyun Hoon from the movie Lakshya.

Although, I didn't really have the energy to watch this movie entirely cause Preity Zinta looked so round in it and I like to see Hrithik in real smart roles mostly but this song is perhaps THE best thing ever to be produced by Bollywood in a long time. They have made good stuff but nothing like this.

I remember Hrithik said in his interviews when the movie was being released how he was really worried to catch up with the dance moves of Prabhu Dev (the choreographer of this song) and most people are surely intimidated by him for obvious reasons.

 However, Hrithik is one actor with a real flexible body and light feet. The result is phenomenal and this song and Hrithik in his groovy moves can only get applause and nothing else.

Ande Ka Funda - Jodi No. 1 (2001)

Today, I watched this super crazy, absolutely senseless but damn funny song from the movie Jodi No 1.  Although a huge audience considers Govinda to be a cheap actor but there are certain expressions and dance moves that only he can deliver.

Besides, I also feel that some of the most memorable music is that, which has some element of cheapness involved in it. In this particular song, I personally don't find anything cheap at all. It's a light, humorous song. Sanjay Dutt too looked cute doing Ande Ka Funda.

While listening and watching to this, I recommend leave your brains on the side for a few minutes.

Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha - Shakti (1982)

Shakti is one of the bestest films ever created by Hindi cinema. I didn't know it was released in the same year I was born in but that is not the reason why I really like it. Shakti had a very strong story line and the cast selection couldn't be more perfect than what the film makers chose back then.

This family drama included a star studded cast : Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhee Gulzar, Smita Patel, Amrish Puri and Kulbushan. The father-son duo played by Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan was simply amazing. The movie touched upon their relationship in a different light with complications created by bad timing and unusual circumstances throughout their life.

I always say that good villains are done with in India. They can't match people like Amrish Puri or Amjad Khan at all because those guys had a lot of class. Now, we have to see a bunch of losers mostly.

And moving on to this song...the lyrics and vocals are brilliants. The lyrics are simply intense and very interesting. The best part of the song is the address she mentions :P 

Aur Intezar - Romance

This is an awesome romantic song from the good old days from the film ROMANCE. Starring Kumar Gaurav, who could not leave a very strong mark in the industry in spite of his good looks and decent acting skills and Poonam Dhillon.

I never really knew this song was picturized on these two till today but I've listened to this song for a long time. In fact, I never even watched this movie. The lyrics are sweet and soft.  Hope you'll enjoy!

Lagi Aaj Sawan - Chandani

Lagi Aaj Sawan Ki Phir Woh Jhadi Hai from the movie Chandani is more than a monsoon song. It is not any romantic song sung in the rain. This song signifies the pain of living a life without one's loved one and associated it with memories of the person and the rain.

As far as the movie is concerned, Chandani is an ok flick. I hate the first half in which they have shown a very bubbly, cheap romance of Sri Devi and Rishi Kapoor. But I love the second (serious) half in which Vinod Khanna's character is more dominant.

I know it is sad and most people wouldn't want to associate rain with sadness, but it is such a nice song I couldn't resist putting it my collection here.

Hum Na Samjhe The - Gardish

Gardish is one movie that every serious cine lover should/must watch. With an awesome cast, which included actors like Jackie Sheroff, Amrish Puri and Dimple Kapadia in it - this movie really touches the heart and soul.

Showing the intensity of human bonds, family ties, aspirations and broken dreams led by uncalled for circumstances, Gardish has nothing wrong about it. You tend to ignore Jackie's old age as well because the over all movie is so true to life.

Hum Na Samjhe The, sung by Bala Subrahmanyam is the essence of this movie. Beautifully sung and has some extremely deep lyrics relating to life. 

Dekha Naa - Bombay To Goa

 I have never really watched Bombay To Goa ever except for this one song. I do know however, that Mehmood made this extremely low budgeted movie in the 70's when Amitabh Bachchan was quite unknown. People only referred to him as an extremely tall, useless actor. But it turned out that this low budgeted movie became a super duper hit. 

Also I like how Aruna Irani looks in this movie. She was quite pretty  but too bad she could never bag big roles in her career.

This particular song is so full of life. Kishore Kumar knew the art of making every song so energetic with his unique voice. Hope you all will like it!

Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta - Janbaaz (1986)

Last night I saw a bit of Jaanbaz (1986) for the zillionth time. Even today, at least I find the movie quite entertaining. It dealt with a serious issue of drugs/cocaine at a very early time and executed the idea in a more than perfect way. The depth and detailing of the characters was quite impressive and natural. I give full points to Feroz Khan for making a highly entertaining flick so long ago.

If somebody likes to review classics, one can't miss out on Jaanbaz, which has story, sex, songs and much more in the right quantity. The only thing that disturbs me are the changing hairstyles of Dimple Kapadia throughout the movie when she looked all good with the longer, natural hairstyle of hers. Secondly, she just looked far too experienced and slutty in comparison to Anil Kapoor (who was the notorious son of a rich man). I particularly enjoyed watching Amrish Puri in this movie. He and Anil Kapoor shared a very strong chemistry as father and son in Jaanbaz.

Anyway, enjoy this song, which is quite intense and beautiful. A lot of people who have not experienced true love or have been unlucky when it comes to romance might find the lyrics quite deep.

Sapne Mein Dekha Sapna - Golmaal 1979

Golmaal (1979) is quite an unforgettable movie and its music is ever green. Starring Amol Palekar this movie had all the right ingredients that make it so memorable - the right cast, awesome music, humor at its best and what amazing script. 

Sapne Mein Dekha Sapna is such a fun song with a very cute video. You must look closely how the guy dances on the classical note LOL It is so funny. I must have watched this movie like a thousand times. I prefer this any given day over the new never ending sequels of Golmaal starring Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor.

Salam - Umrao Jaan Remake

Hindi cinema has always had songs of prostitutes in their movies since forever. The style, lyrics, videos may have changed but they are still pretty much there. Today, they refer to such stuff as item songs but the essence of it remains there. 

There are some movies made on prostitutes and Umrao Jaan is the most popular such works. The original one had Rekha playing the character of Umrao Jaan while in the remake Aishwarya Rai played the role. It is a sad story. Both the movies hurt one's soul as we see the life of a girl and how she ends up in a brothel house. Shows how life can be so challenging for some people.

This song Salaam from the Aishwarya version has nice lyrics with soft vocals. Besides, Aishwarya looks nice  in the gold attire and she is an ab fab dancer as we all know. I do get bothered by the deep neck line but what the heck she was playing the role of a prostitute at the end of the day so one can ignore that.

Abhishekh Bachchan looked quite awesome in this movie and it is quite visible from his short but strong presence in this song as well. I do wish to see him giving some hits now. 

Chal Chal - Astitva (2000)

Chal Chal Mere Sang is a wonderful song by Sukhwinder Singh from the movie Astitva. Sukhwinder has sung this song beautifully with a lot of intensity and depth leave alone the lyrics are quite apt for the situation in the movie.

Secondly, I believe Tabu and the guy (I don't know his name but he is Nutan's son) gave such brilliant expressions in this song that it is hard to ignore.

Astitva was a movie of substance (for a niche market of course)...a story about an unhappy couple who do not admit that they are leading unhappy lives where the husband is unfaithful throughout his life and the wife is all submissive. This song is about that one moment where the wife gets attracted to another man and how it all comes back to haunt her much later in her life.

I loved this movie...will not recommend it to everyone but people who like serious cinema will love it too.

Andheri Raton Main - Shehenshah

I find this song from the movie Shehenshah extremely powerful. May be the smart asses would consider the whole idea to be dumb with a man giving justice in his own way in a corrupt society (just like Amitabh's character does in this movie dressed up in leather, iron and chains).  Anyway, the movie is quite old and I think keeping all that in mind, it looks all good to me.

Kishore Kumar did absolute justice as far as the song was concerned. The song has something about it...it ignites the passion to stand up against the wrong.

Yahi Tou Hai Woh - Solva Saal (1958)

Songs of Solva Saal (1958) are unforgettable to say the least. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved watching its songs over and over again. Dev Anand looks so cute and handsome with his killer looks while Waheeda Rehman portrays her role so well. 

I find the music of Solva Saal a bit different and quite fun. Though most people talk about one of its songs only - Hai Apna Dil Tou Awara but I love the rest of its songs equally. I hope you guys will enjoy this song.

Jan Jani - Naseeb 1981

This celebrity song from the 1981 flick Naseeb reminds me of the modern times Om Shanti Om in many ways. Since my childhood days, I've enjoyed watching this song thoroughly, mainly because of the stars.

I still love the song but I find Amitabh a bit funny and over in this one. Though he does look like a Naukar in the true sense :P but he sometimes looks so fake. 

My personal favorite in this video is Dharmendra, who I believe is one of the most good looking men Hindi cinema ever had. But everybody else looked awesome. Kareena's daddy was looking so cute lost in his own world. Sharmila Tagore's short hair look was not that interesting though I feel. Thus, besides Big B himself I love everything else in this video.

But all in all, a good classic. Hope you'll enjoy!

Sholon Si - Shabd

Sholo Si Sholo Si from the movie Shabd is quite a sexy song. I believe the movie didn't do well but this was the first time I noticed that Aishwarya has some substance as far as acting is concerned. 

I liked the intensity of the plot revolving around Aishwarya's writer husband played by Sanjay Dutt.

Well, for somebody having a beautiful, sexy wife such Aishwarya would definitely find her quite an aspiration for his writing and this movie was something about that. 

Anyway, I really enjoy listening to this song and hope you'd like it too.
