Music - Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy
Lyrics - Jaideep Sahni
To start off.. I just think this is the most awesome song I've heard this year and it's a good and unusual mix of the typical 40s-50s-60s kind of music with the (Doob ja mere pyar mein) bit of it which reminds me of the song 'Mere piye gaye Rangoon' which has a nasal style of singing in it + the harmonium music that's playing in the background reminds me of "local train" singers of Mumbai.. I might sound harsh here.. but that's what it reminds me off!
And then you got the English - Rap lines in the song (Move your body... Groove your body & Rock to the rhythm & rock to the rhym) which give the song this "cool, hip-hop" feel to it..
All in all it's a nice combination of desi, videsi, and the masala - chhamiya kind of music which Bollywood is famous for!
If you delve deeper into the lyrics of the song, they're talking about:
"Paisa phek, tamasha dekh" which actually implies that in today's day and age, you give money to let the show go on, to get things done your way.. bribes and other forms of incentives have become a popular way of getting things done.. sad but true.
And.. if you think about how many songs there are in bollywood that feature "money/cash" as the main concept you will be surprised, there are quite a few!
So here goes :
1. Sabse bada rupaiya (Bluffmaster - Abhishek Bachchan)
2. The whole thing is that sabse bada rupaiya (Mehmood)
3. Cash to the left of me.. (Cash - title song)
4. Apna sapna money money (Title song)
5. Paisa paisa (Apna sapna money money)
6. Jai jai money (Apna Sapna Money Money)
7. Dede mujhe mera bees rupaiyaa (Jamai Raja - Anil Kapoor & Madhuri Dixit)
8. Panch rupaiya bara aana (Kishore Kumar & Madhubala - Chalti ka naam gadi)
9. Paisa yeh paisa (Karz - Rishi Kapoor)
10. Paisa phek tamasha dekh
....and the list can go on!
The film stars Neil Nitin Mukesh... he used to be Neil Mathur in school :)
who looks pretty decent.. I think he will get better with time.. haven't seen the film yet and have heard good reviews about it.
It's from the maker of Ek Hasina Thi starring Urmila Matondkar & Saif Ali Khan which was a good movie. I hope to catch this one soon! Do listen to the song, it's a must!
