Yeh nahi suna toh kya suna! Click on the play button and go ROFLOL!

And if you want more, here it is….as always, our favourite bits in BOLD….

Poochte hain log, hamesha ye sawaal,

Kahan tha? Kahan kho gaya, tu itne saal?

Kuch aise haadse hue, ghira apne ghutno par,

Bebasee, laacharee, sharm se jhuk gaya sar,

Bikhri meri duniya, mere khwab, mera ghar,

Jab chhod jaaye apne, toh lagta hai darr.

 

My life, my career, all went for a toss,

Bad decisions, bad luck put me through such loss,

One after another, life shot me with a dart,

Like a broken arrow, I was falling apart.

 

CHORUS

Poochte hain log, hamesha ye sawaal,

Kahan tha? Kahan kho gaya, tu itne saal?

 

Main batata hoon, apni kahani, apni zubaani…

Something or another kept falling out of place,

A leaked MMS and disgrace, slapped on my face.

No I didn’t do it,

but I paid the price for it,

 

Broken ties, faith and trust, made me feel like shit.

Family relationships turned bitter overnight,

I swear I tried to save it, with all my might.

 

Flop filmein, rukawatein, baitha tha bekaar,

Na kaam, na cash, na kismat mere yaar.

 

CHORUS

Poochte hain log, hamesha ye sawaal,

Kahan tha? Kahan kho gaya, tu itne saal?

 

Life ki game kay patte bunt chuke the,

Toh kya kiya maine?

Drugs? Alcohol? Violence? No way!

I’m stronger than that, all I did was pray.

Turned to spirituality, yoga, meditation,

My limits started going beyond imagination,

Meri body, mera temple, bani meri dedication,

Started redefining this God’s own creation.

Mushkilon ko gale lagaya, mehnat ko apna banaya,

Ek baar phir maine, khud ko apnon ke sang paya.

 

Chorus

Poochte hain log, hamesha ye sawaal,

Kahan tha? Kahan kho gaya, tu itne saal?

 

To all those questions here’s my answer,

Hell I’m back, faster and smarter.

I’m focused, I’m stronger, I’m ready to dare,

I’m hungry for the love of all those who care.

For once I wanna set the record straight,

I’m back and I’m gonna make this worth your wait.

Giroonga, uthoonga, phir giroonga, phir uthoonga,

Par kisi bhi dam par, haar nahin maanoonga,

Haar uski, jo khudh haar maan le,

Jeet uski, jo girkar phir sambhal le.

Lyrics penned by Anubhav, Ashmit and Sonny Ravan. Ok, whoever they are!

To shoot or not to shoot – that’s the question. And you can pull the trigger. Try it.  Try every option possible. One of the best virals in recent times.

Via Sumit Roy

From Uttar Pradesh, he has happily moved to Gujarat. From one terror state to another. The actor, not really known for taking political stand, was criticised this time too. But he went ahead, saying he is promoting only Gujarat Tourism and not Narendra Modi. Aha!

BTW, do click here to read the Open magazine’s cover story on Amitabh Bachchan’s political affiliations and click here to read the open letter by Najid Hussain, son-in-law of late MP Ahsan Jafri who was killed in mob violence in Ahmedabad. And click on the play button to watch the Gujarat Tourism TVC…

We struggled really hard to figure out what to write on this D-day, how to write a new post on the legend, and write something that has not been written or said before.  Or something that his fans haven’t seen before. Naah, everything has been discussed and dissected million times in trillion ways. 116 (chaand ki raatei) has turned into a magical number too, with everyone having their own theory about it.  From Bandini to Beera, Kinara to Kaminey, Dil Se to Dil toh baccha hai ji, he never fails to surprise. Will there ever be any Gulzar ? Well, we all know the answer.

Click on the play button to see if the video surprises you…if you have seen Gulzarsaab in this avatar before…

Got it ? If no, read on. The film is Jallianwala Bagh and was produced and directed by Balraj Tah. As the name suggests, its based on the historical Jallianwala Bagh incident. Gulzarsaab played an Indian student studying in England, and as a part of freedom movement, he delivered speeches in the campus. He played a friend to Parikshit Sahni, who was one of the main characters in the film. The music was by R D Burman.

As the story goes, most of the people were associated with this production because there were in good terms with the makers of the film. Hrishikesh Mukherjee was also involved with the film as a “friendly” director. In Gulzarsaab’s words..

Kyonki production mein bahut saari cast ki zaroorat thi, isliye jitne bhi log film mein backstage pe bhi involved the un sabko in front of camera khada kar diya..(except Pancham) aur sabse kaha ki ek ek role kar lo.. meine jo specific character kiya wo sirf isliye kiya ki film Thand ke dino mein shoot huyee thi.. aur film mein kewal mera character ki dress pullover (fully covered) mein thi :)… isliye wo character meine maang liya.”

And now its time to test your GQ – Gulzar Quotient. Guess the names of  the films in which he has made onscreen appearance.   Clueless like us ? Well, check out this song from Basu Bhattacharya’s Griha Pravesh starring Sanjeev Kumar, Sharmila Tagore, Sarika and Dinesh Thakur.

Can you remember any other film where he has made onscreen appearance ? Do let us know in the comment section.

PS – And as always, thanks to Pavan Jha for everything!

Its not exactly VOTD. But Audio Of The Day! Its a rare radio interview of Kishore Kumar where he talks to Ameen Sayani about his three friends – all in three different voices & style, his brother Ashok Kumar, his singing and acting debut and lot of other things…all in his inimitable style!

The magic, the madness, the maverick and the mimicry! Play on!

The news came as a big shock. Last week he gave an interview saying how he was preparing to direct a film. Infact, he was in Nainital for the recce of the same film. But seems fate had some other plans. Who would have thought! For all the laughs and for all the magic on silversceen, thanks Mr Baswani. RIP.

And for all you fans of Ravi Baswani & Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, here is some priceless stuff – the making of the film from CNN IBN’s Bollywood Blockbusters series. The cast and crew on the cult classic of our time…the untold tales. Mann me hai vishwaas..poora hai vishwaas.

When he speaks, we just listen. He is one of our all time favourite actor and the baap of acting – Naseeruddin Shah. And what a delight – unlike the rest of bollylalaland, he is honest and candid. And qualified too.

So, here it is…Naseeruddin Shah criticising Amitabh Bachchan’s choice of films (loving it! finally someone with whom we agree completely), on Sholay and talks about his role in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. Click the play button. Now!

And there is more…now in sequence…Naseeruddin Shah on everything that’s cinema, with some priceless quotes on Farah Khan, Dev Anand, Mithun Chakraborty, Bollywood, Shammi Kapoor and Dara Singh!

The show is called ‘In Conversation’ and is  hosted by Saeed Naqvi on NewsX.
