Same Same But Different - Bombay To Bangkok

Playback - KK, Shreyas Talpade, Lena Christensan

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

Lyrics - Mir Ali Hussain

Same same.. boy falls in love with girl, they get married and live happily ever after.. but different, yes, it's so not like the other Nagesh Kukunoor films.. his other films were way better!

Shreyas Talpade was average and Lena Christensan was alright for her first Bollywood movie.

Coming to the song, it's a good mix of foot - tapping music, Hindi, English & Thai lyrics and yes.. also a tapori feel to it with lines like 'Hello baby, Hi!', ' 'Mann ki meeting', 'Do sau bees volt ki smile', and some more!

Thinking of the title of the film, that's also same same but different.. Bombay to Goa?

If I think a little more about the title of the song, it makes sense.. people looking at the same thing at the same time do have different ways of perceiving it and different ways of looking at it which reminds me of an HSBC ad campaign which is on the same lines and reads as - Different people, different views.

Similarly, in the film , Shreyas Talpade plays an Indian film and Lena Christensan plays a Thai pick up girl and they are from different origins, have different jobs and have different views but then when it comes to love, they are same same. There is jealousy, heartbreak and all of that.. and they make efforts to be like the other..Same same but different!

Silly movie, fun song.. listen to it sometime!
