A new promotional video of Wake Up Sid has been released. The film is produced by Karan johar, directed by Ayan Mukherjee and stars Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma.
The video has been shot on the title song but where is Konkona ? The one who is going to make Sid wake up! Think they cut her out to focus on the glamour quotient because by bollywood rule book, she surely doesnt score high there.
The first song of Sujoy Ghosh’s film Aladin is out. Its called the Genie Rap. Music is by Vishal Shekhar. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh and debutant Jacqueline Fernandes. The film’s release has been postponed from 23rd October to 30th october. Check out the song.
Whatever that means! Blue stars Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan and Katrina Kaif. The film is positioned as India’s first big budget underwater film and has music by A R Rahman. The first song promo of the film is out and its by Kylie Minogue. Check it out.
Because he seriously needs to check his daily horoscope reports. If the teaser, music and promos of Whats Your Raashee is any indication of things to come, we are running far far away from it. The song Jao na (dont go) sounds “please please run away” to us! Just check out the song promo. Its the first song promo that have been released.
What the fuck is this ? Who would release such a bad first song promo of the film ? Is it the same Ashutosh Gowariker who shot Yeh jo desh hai tera (Swadees), O re chori (Lagaan) and Khwaja mere khwaja (Jodhoa Akbar)! Unfuckingbelievable! This is horrible. And it seems, its shot on chroma. You can easily make that out. Mumbai roads….late night…why would you go for chroma!
First Harman Baweja, then the fuckall teaser, then this song promo and now the music of Whats Your Raashee…..nothing seems to be going right. The album has 13 songs. I heard it thrice, none of the song stays with you. Zero repeat value. The arrangement make it sound like we are going back to Nadeem-Shravan days! I would even vote it for Javed Akhtar’s worst work. Sample this….pyaar pyaari nayi nayi nyaari nyaari….aisi hai baatein teri saari….dil maine khoya jaan vari….kyunki pyaari pyaari…tukbandi was never so dull!
Music is by debutant Sohail Sen. Am all for new talent but yes, talent is the key word! Or was i searching for Rahman in the album ? Naah, am not going back to it again!
And is it really possible ? Ripley’s Believe it or not! According to this report in Mumbai Mirror, Himesh Reshammiya went through a vocal surgery to get a new voice. WTF!?!? Well, to quote from the report…
Himesh has quietly put himself through surgery a couple of months ago and added one more voice, apart from his nasal voice. He has now become the only singer to have two completely different voices and the new voice will be heard in his forthcoming films. He has already recorded songs in his new voice.
BTW, the report doesnt have any reporter credit. We wonder why ? And reacting to the report, music director Vishal Dadlani twittered..
Today, i read about someone having vocal-chord surgery to get an extra voice! What dumb faacks write this, and what suckers believe it?
And some more…
Questions re: surgery to get extra voices should be directed to the ‘tards at the m’bai mirror who wrote this crap! Who is this genius doc!?
And now Indiafm has put out a new song from Himesh Reshammiya’s new film Radio and its in his new voice! Woohoo…check it out. Mann ka radio! Surprisingly, Himesh is all quite so far.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
A new video/song promo of Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal is out. Looks like its for the credit roll. What say ?
A new song promo of Kaminey is out. Raat ke dhai baje.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The week belongs to Mohit Chauhan. Though he sounds almost the same and sings in similar manner in almost every other film unless Rahman gets him to do Masakalli, but a Mohit Chauhan song has become a must do in every romantic film.
Two new films, two song promos and both the songs are of Mohit Chauhan. Kaminey’s Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai and Love Aaj Kal’s Yeh dooriyan. Check out. ( Pehli baar video is bit dark. something wrong)
If the Love Aaj Kal song video doesn’t play, click here for the youtube page link.
Like us, if you are googling and shouting out Dhen Tedan at regular intervals, we got something more. The complete lyrics of the title track of Kaminey – Dhen Tedan! Now sing along! Lyrics – Gulzar. Music – Vishal Bhardwaj. Singers – Vishal Dadlani & Sukhwinder Singh.
For a change, we are putting something in hindi. So if you are not comfortable with hindi, bear with us.

आजा आजा दिल निचोड़ें
रात की मटकी तोड़ें
कोई गुडलक निकालें
आज गुल्लक तो फोड़ेंतिल तिल तारा मेरा तेली का तेल
कौड़ी कौड़ी पैसा पैसा, पैसे का खेल
चल चल सड़कों पे होगी ढेन ढेन
ढेन-टेड़ान टेडाटेडान
ढेन-टेड़ान टेडाटेडानआजा कि, वन-वे है ये ज़िंदगी की गली, एक ही चांस है
आगे हवा ही हवा है, अगर सांस ले तो ये रोमांस हैयही कहते हैं, यही सुनते हैं
जो भी जाता है, जाता है, वो फिर से आता नहींआजी आजा दिल निचोड़ें…
कोई चाल ऐसी चलो यार, अबके समंदर भी पुल पे चले
फिर तू चले उसपे या मैं चलूं, शहर हो अपने पैरों तले
कहीं खबरें हैं, कहीं कब्रें हैं
जो भी सोये हैं कब्रों में, उनको जगाना नहींआजा आजा दिल निचोड़ें
रात की मटकी तोड़ें
कोई गुडलक निकालें
आज गुल्लक तो फोड़ेंतिल तिल तारा मेरा तेली का तेल
कौड़ी कौड़ी पैसा पैसा, पैसे का खेल
चल चल सड़कों पे होगी ढेन ढेनढेन-टेड़ान टेडाटेडान ढेन-टेड़ान टेडाटेडान
And if you haven’t heard the song yet, click on the video link for the complete song.
….Ajj din chadheya. The rest of the album has big hangover of Jab We Met (all formula – ek club number, ek romantic, ek sad, ek emotional ) and too much of punjabhi dhoom dhadaka! Makes it look like as if Punjabi is India’s national identity, culture, language, music, dance, food and everything else!
Twist & Aahun Aahun are peppy numbers for dance floors. That’s it. Ajj din chadheya‘s video is not out but to check out the complete song play the video link.
Lyrics – Irshad Kamil, Music – Pritam. Ajj din chadeya tere rang verga – original line by Shiv Kumar Batalvi.
And like us, if you care about the lyrics, do read on. Our favourite lines in bold.
Ajj din chadheya
tere rang varga
phool sa hai khila aaj din.
Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile
usse tu laga de ab gale
tenu dil da vasta.
Rabba aaya dar de yaar ke
saara jahan chod chad ke
mere sapne sawar de
tenu dil da vasta.
Baksha gunahon ko
sun ke duwao ko
rabba pyaar hai tune
sabko hi de diya
meri bhi aahon ko
sun le duwao ko
mujhko woh dila
mene jisko hai dil diya.
Aas vo pyas vo
usko de itna bataa
Woh jo mujhe dekh ke hasse
pana chahun raat din jise
Rabba mere naam kar use
tenu dil da vasta.
Manga jo mera hai
jata kya tera hai
maine kaun si
tujhse jannat manga li
kaisa khuda hai tu
bas naam ka hai tu
rabba jo teri
itni si bhi na chali
chahiye jo mujhe
kar de tu mujhko ataa
jeeti rahi saltanat teri
jeeti rahe aashiqui meri
de de mujhe zindagi meri
tenu dil da vaasta.
Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile
use tu laga de abb gale
tenu dil da vasta.
Rabba aaya dar de yaar de
saara jahan chod chad ke
mere sapne sawar de
tennu dil da vasta
Ajj din Chadheya
tere rang varga.
