Labon Ko - Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Playback - KK (has off late sung soo many good songs!)

Music - Pritam (he's on a roll too)

Lyrics - Sameer

Slow, simple, intense and full of emotion is how I'd define the song..
KK in my opinion is an outstanding (not the standing out types) but the keep up the good work types :)

The song's picturised on Shiney Ahuja & Vidya Balan who play a couple in the film.. and
apparently, the films a re-make of a south Indian film called Chandramukhi which was a hit!

Wonder how Bhool Bhulaiyaa would fair at the box-office.. should be time pass is what I think.

tere jasbaaton mein,
mehaki si saanso mein,
ye jo mehek sandili si hai dil ki panaaho mein,
bikhari si aaho mein sone ki khaaish jagi si hai
chehare se chehara chupaao,
sine ki dhadkan sunaao dekh lo khud ko tum (aankhon mein meri - 3) aankhon mein

Are the lines from the song which I think are well sung, KK just takes it to another level.
Well done!

Do listen to this song, it's sweet and romantic.. and the remix - has got a nice catchy start!

Saawariya - Saawariya

Playback - Shail Hada

Music - Monty Sharma

Lyrics - Sameer

Right after Black.. this is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film lined up for release sometime around Diwali along with Farah Khan & SRK's Om Shanti Om (OSO).. SRK also claims he is scared of Saawariya.. catch SRK actually 'scared'... well I don't think so..

Saawariya is the debut film for Ranbir Kapoor (Son of Rishi & Neetu Kapoor) & Sonam Kapoor (Anil Kapoor's daughter).

From the promos of the film.. it looks like a blend of Devdas, Black and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam... and yea.. a little bit of "RK" thrown in.. like the famous RK Films pose at the start of every film..

Ranbir Kapoor.. does look much better personally than on screen.. well yes, I have seen him in person :)

Coming to the song.. I realllly like the song.. and the guitar music playing throughout is simply divine!

While hearing the song.. there were bits which did remind me of the song "O Priya" from the film Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaye and also.. the bit from Hum Dil.. when everyone is seated at the lunch table and Salman Khan just breaks off into a melody?

Also, there is a "yudleyooo.. yudeleyee" like Kishore Kumar.. pretty well done!

And ya.. coming to the lyrics of the song.. it's this typical love ballad.. with all mush... here goes..

Saawariya haa haaaa
Saawariya haa haa haa
Saawariyahooo Saawariya

Doli mein bitha ke
Sitaro se sajake
Zamane se churake Lejayega
Saawariya haa haaaa
Saawariya haa haa haa
Saawariyahooo Saawariya

owwwowoww

Doli mein bitha ke
Sitaro se sajake
Zamane se churake
Lejayega ek roj tera udake jiya
Saawariya haa haaaa
Saawariya haa haa haa
Saawariyahooo Saawariya

[Yudliing]

Palkon ke shamiyane mein
Khwaabon ke har thikane mein
Teri hi parchaiya hai
Tu to har lambha Yaadon mein hai
Teri khamosh pheli nazar ka deewana bana

Saawariya haa haaaa
Saawariya haa haa haa
Saawariyahooo Saawariya
Doli mein bitha ke
Sitaro se sajake
Zamane se churake Lejayega

Saawariya haa haaaa
Saawariya haa haa haa
Saawariyahooo Saawariya

Film also stars Salman Khan & Rani Mukherji.. should be good, let's wait and watch!

Saathiya - Darling

Playback - Adnan Sami, Tulsi Kumar

Music - Himesh Reshammiya, Pritam Chakraborty, Prasana Shekhar

Lyrics - Sameer

Adnan Sami's sung this song with a lot of feel and has modulated his voice extremely well.
If you pay attention to the beginning of the song.. I like the way he's sung the english lines.. just a handful of bollywood singers like Shaan and maybe.. Sonu Nigam can carry off an English song well.. and yes, Adnan Sami's done very well..
Actually he does tend to talk with an accent too.. when he gives interviews.. so no problem there!

dil hai ki maanata nahi hai
bechaini jaanata nahi hai
main karun kya bata zaraa saathiya
saathiyaaa.. saathiya..

Are the lines I like from the song..And how many times does it really happen that your heart takes over your head and then you just don't know what to do!

Can be tricky...

Love the guitar, piano and flute in the song.. and all the other instruments I don't know of :)
Looks like the movie didn't do too well.. but I guess it did slightly better than RGV Ki Aag.. wonder what kind of films Ram Gopal Verma is upto making!

Not a great fan of his.. but yea.. the song's good! Do get it, hear it.

Heyy Babyy - Heyy Babyy

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar, Raman, Pervez Qadir, Loy Mendonsa

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Sameer

Catchy song, with a nice beat .. which actually sounds like foot-tapping.. tap dancing music!
The song's got Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh & Fardeen Khan really living it up.. with a lot of women.. singing.. Heyy Babby Jee lene de iss pal ko.. kal ki sochenge kal ko..

It's like make merry.. don't worry.. we'll see what happens tomorrow!
In a way it's a good attitude to live life kingsize.. but then there are times when you wish you had planned.. you wish you had made preparations for a secure future.. but then.. sometimes things just don't go as planned.. they just happen the way they're meant to.

So it's like.. you do the best you can.. and leave the rest.. atleast you've done what you could right!

But in the film these guys are just making merry and then land up with a baby who they got to take care of.. the movie was nothing great.. it's got a few good moments.. but nothing exceptional is what I think..

Back to the song.. Sajid Khan - the director did manage to get a LOT of heroines to feature in the song.. like:

Malaika Arora
Amrita Arora
Sophie Choudhary
Shamita Shetty
Dia Mirza
Amisha Patel
Koena Mitra
Masumi
Neha Dhupia
Tara Sharma
Riya Sen
Celina Jetly
Hrishita Bhatt
Aarti Chhabria
Kim Sharma
Payal Rohatgi
Minissha Lamba
Amrita Rao

Wow that's a whole lot of women to share screen space with one another! Wonder how many cat fights that would've taken place while shooting!! :)

And the lines I like are..

Ishq Mohbbat Pyaar ki baatein
Bekaar ki baatein
Jhoothe hai saare vaadein
Rasmein na jaaneKasmein na maane
Kar woh jo thaaneHum to begde sehjaade

[Hey Babyy je le de is pal koHey babyy Kal ki sochenge kal ko]2

Kisko pata jana dhal jaayeg kab jawaaniyon ka nasha
Chal dilruba lele dono milke zindaganiyon ka mazaa
ho madhooshi mein kho jane de hota hai jo bhi yaraho jane de
Dooriyan rehena darmiyaaan

Not that I really believe in the lines above.. just think they sound nice in the song!

Nice song.. do hear it.

Junoon - Junoon

Playback - Abhijeet Sawant

Music - Amit Trivedi

Lyrics - Anusha

"Junoon" means.. Craze.. I also think it means "Paagalpan" according to Bollywood :)

If I were to try and remember how many times this word's been used.. I remember this song composed by Himesh Reshammiya.. and was picturised on Zayed Khan.. don't recall the movie though.. there was also a band called Junoon who named their album also Junoon and then there was a film by the same name in 1992 and 2002! Now should I call this Junoon for Junoon :)

Well.. coming to the Junoon by Abhijeet Sawant (Indian Idol 1).. this is his second album after the 1st one being Apka Abhijeet Sawant.. and his popular track being Mohabbatein Lutaoonga.

Junoon.. it starts with a classical line.. and then the guitar + drumbeat throughout, sound.. awesome..

This song would come into the "inspirational songs" category.. and to elaborate.. I would probably list this song with..

> Aashayein - Iqbal

> Yeh Honsla - Dor

> Mehfuz - Euphoria

If you know what I mean..

khoya sab kuch toh kya hua, paane ka ab mujhe hai junoon
aansu agar bhi mile, hasne ka hai junoon

and then...

zindagi intehaan hai toh kya, manzilon ka mujhe hai junoon
suni rahoon mein bhi, hum safar ka junoon, hum safar ka junoon....

Are the nice lines of the song.. do watch/hear it.. it's worth it!

Bhool Bhulaiyaa - Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar (his voice sounds more familiar than his name!)

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sameer

Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare Krishna Hare Ram.. I had this up on my messenger for a day and a friend told me.. aren't you like 20-30 years younger to be saying this.. :)
Well.. maybe if I were to really think about it.. maybe attending 'satsangs' and 'bhajan sessions' regularly might be for a generation a little older.. but no harm remembering God.. no harm taking his name.. how many times do we actually sit down in peace and think about God.. that's ofcourse if you believe there is one.. I do! I also do make it a point to keep chanting his name whenever I can..

Coming to the song.. I think Akshay Kumar looks AMAZING.. he is my all time favorite hero.. who made it so far on his own.. I think he acts pretty well and is finally getting his due for what he's worth. Hare Krishna Hare Ram.. is what forms the chorus of the song and sounds really nice.. the song's got a blend of hindi & english lyrics.. I think that's pretty much become a trend across songs in Bollywood now days..

Not just saying it.. there are songs like:

Mindblowing Maahiya, Maahiya (by Suzanne), Cash (title song), Naughty Naughty... Right here right now, Ab to forever and many more!!

The beginning of the song's got this nice sound.. which is like that of glass and bangles if I think so.. and then the beat which continues throughout is catchy.. and foot tapping.

The song's worth singing along.. and if you really do.. the lyrics are:

Teri Aankhen bhool bhulaiya
Baatein hain bhool bhulaiya
Tere sapnon ki galion mein
I Keep Looin for u baby..
Teri Aankhen bhool bhulaiya
Baatein hain bhool bhulaiya.
Tere sapnon ki galion mein.
U Keep Drivin me so crazy….
Dil Mein tu rehti hai…..Betaabi kehti hai………I Keep prain all day .. all day all night long
Hare ram hare ram hare krishna hare ram (4)

Tu meri khamoshi haitu meri madhoshi haitu mera hai afsana
Tu hai awara dhadkan …tu hai is raaton ki tadpan ….Tu hai meri dil Jana
Teri zulfon k neeche mere khwabon ki jannat
teri bahon mein aak Bechani ko milti raahat
my only wish is if i ever ever could make u mine
every one is prain with me now all day all night long
hare ram hare krishna hare ram (4)
Tere wade pe jeena teri kasmon pe marna baki ab kuch na karna
chahe jagaya soyaa deewanepan mein khoya
duniya se ab kya darnatere ehsason ki gehrai mein dooba rehta
tu meri jaan ban jayay har lamha rab se kehta hoon
every one is talking about us like ever i domy love is rocking baby common now common

Hare ram hare ram hare krishna hare ram
Teri Aankhen bhool bhulaiya.
Baatein hain bhool bhulaiya.
Tere sapnon ki galion mein.
I Keep Looin for u baby..
Teri Aankhen bhool bhulaiya.
Baatein hain bhool bhulaiya.
Tere sapnon ki galion mein.
U Keep Drivin me so crazy….
Dil Mein tu rehti hai…..Betaabi kehti hai………I Keep prain all day .. all day all night long
Hare ram hare ram hare krishna hare ram (4)

Dhamaal (Dekho Dekho Dil Ye Bole) - Dhamaal

Playback - Shaan, Adnan Sami

Music - Adnan Sami

Lyrics - Sameer

Ae aa oo .. ae aa oo dhamaal.. are my favorite lines from this song.. nice catchy music and well sung by Adnan Sami who looks oh so cute now.. after having lost a lot of weight.. he looked great even on Indian Idol 3 where he sang one of his popular songs called ' Mujhko bhi to lift karade ' when one of the contestants asked him that what do you do when you're nervous before a stage performance :)

Back to the song.. I like the way it's been picturised.. all the actors - Arshad Warsi, Ashish Choudhary, Sanjay Dutt, Javed Jaffery & Riteish Deshmukh.. seemed like they did a lot of Dhamaal while filming it too..

The movie's a total no brainer.. but worth a watch for 'time pass'.

Tinka Tinka - Karam (2005)

Playback - Alisha Chinai

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil, Vishal

Well this song's from a movie starring John Abraham & Priyanka Chopra and no.. I haven't watched this film.. but heard this song on this site called http://www.videoontherocks.com/ (VOTR) which is a site which has a decent collection of Videos which you can watch - like http://www.youtube.com/ but I personally think the videos load much much quicker on VOTR!

Coming to the song, its a nice song and well sung by Alisha..
and in the video on VOTR - it's a snippet from the show Amul STAR Voice of India performed by this girl called - Mirande - she sings pretty well too!

It's all about each one having their own set of dreams, wishes and desires which people need to understand.. bit by bit.. Nice song..nice music by Vishal - Shekhar.. don't know about the film though!
Maula Mere Lele Meri Jaan - Chak De India!

Playback - Krishna, Salim Merchant

Lyrics - Jaideep Sahani

Music - Salim & Sulaiman Merchant

Another Maula Mere after the famous
Maula Mere from Anwar..but I don't think this song's gone down too well with the critics or music reviewers..

Personally, I like the sound of the song and the instruments used in the song very much.. reminds me of the song from Dor called "Yeh Honsla"..
Somehow, I feel there is some similarity in the feel of the song..In the context of the movie, this song plays when Shakrukh Khan is leaving his house because he's been accused of match-fixing and then, when he returns home after he's managed to clear his image of having fixed the match by making the women's hockey team achieve victory at the World Cup.

The lines I like are..
Tere sang kheli holi
tere sang ki diwali
tere angno ki chhaya
tere sang saawan aaya
fer le too chaahe nazre chaahe yeh chura le
laut ke too aaega re shart laga le
teeja tera--jaan

And the popular (chorus) lines are..

Teeja tera rang thaa mai toh
teeja teraa rang thaa mai toh
jiya tere dhang se mai tohtu hi thaa maula tu hi aan
Maula mere le le meri jaan..

Listen to the song for soft peaceful music.

Chak de - Chak De India

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Salim Merchant & Marianne Dcruz

Music - Salim & Sulaiman Merchant

Lyrics - Jaideep Sahni

The music with which the song starts.. reminds me of the Indian army and my heart wants to salute them! It's very typical to the army music.. or maybe I think so because of the way it's been portrayed in movies with the army in focus.

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide.. this is the time to do or die..
Are my favorite lines from the song! I think this song is really inspiring and motivating.. just makes you feel that this is the time, it's now or never and you got to have your way, somehow!

Come on India is what Chak de India means..

There was a song called Chak De from the film Hum Tum as well which is a fab song.. do read about it here.

Awesome movie (saw it twice and loved it both the times), Shahrukh Khan was very good.. and I also liked the performance to the girls in the movie. It's nice to see a sport like hockey being the focus of the film, and yea.. it's something that's beyond cricket!

Some of the outstanding characters were:

Komal Chatala (Chitrashi Rawat) - she is a professional hockey player!

Bindia Naik (Shilpa Shukla) - I loved her character in the film, and i think she did a good job too.

Preeti Sabrawal (Sagarika Ghatge) - she was the 'good looking' girl in the movie

Balbir Kaur (Tanya Abrol) - The hatti - khatti hot-headed punjabi girl.

I think it's a nice song.. nice movie.. so sing along..
