Muskura - Dasvidaniya

Playback - Sonu Nigam (Welcome back!!)

Music - Kailash Kher, Naresh, Paresh

Lyrics - Kailash Kher

Hmm hmm hmm.. Aawara Rahi Gumshuda.. Banke kyun ghoome la pata..
Absolutely marvellous is what I think of this song.. it's slow, the music is smoothe, soft and beautiful. Good job Kailash Kher, Naresh & Paresh!

Also, reminds me of the kind of songs which were popular during the Raj Kapoor era..

I like the sound of the mouth organ(harmonica) and the hand piano instrument..
Also, it's a delight to be listening to Sonu Nigam after sooo long..

Coming to the name of the film.. quite a tonge twister it is!
This song is definitely worth a listen ..and sing along..

Aawara Rahi Gumshuda.. Banke kyun ghoome la pata..
Muskura mere dil.. le zindagi ka mazaa..

Dharti ye gum gum kyu hai ji..Duniya mein talam tol kyu hai ji
Cham chama, khil khila, jagmaga, ghum bhula..

Seekh le.. khush rehne ki adaa..

Aawara Rahi Gumshuda.. Banke kyun ghoome la pata..
Muskura mere dil.. le zindagi ka mazaa..

Kadmon ko zameen pe tikata chal.. jeevan to dhoka hai.. tu khata chal..
Kya bhala, kya bura, kya khota, kya khara..
In sab mein tu atkega, jee nahi paayega..

Aawara Rahi Gumshuda.. Banke kyun ghoome la pata..
Muskura mere dil.. le zindagi ka mazaa..

Fashion Ka Jalwa - Fashion

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Satya Hinduja & Robert Bob Omulo

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

Lyrics - Sandeep Nath

Yeh Jalwa, Fashion Ka Hai Yeh Jalwa...
True indeed.. once caught by the Fashion bug, it's difficult to get out of it.. be it a ramp model, a fashion director or even a consumer of fashionable garments and accessories.
It's all about who's better than whom in this world.

Aasmaan Dikhlaaya, Jamin Pe Bhi Le Aaya
Kya Na Isane Karwaaya Haan Yeh Jalwa, Haan Yeh Jalwa
Aag Si Rawaaniya..., Leti Hai Angadaayiya..
Yeh Jala De Dilon Mein Chingaariya

Which means.. it can take you right to the top, and drop you right down as well.. scary indeed!

Coming to the music of the song.. I think it's got a good mix of traditional singing style along with some good beats and some additional effect in the form of the English lines added in.

I also like the lines and the music in between the verses which is :

Aha aha she got the style in her..
Come come along
Feel the rhythm is in the air
Shake it shake it alone yea..
Hips swinging in style..
Move by my side as the music is roaring..
Going Shouting and roaring..
I'm dancing all night..wo wo wo..

Nice song, heard the movie's good too! Let's wait and watch.. in the mean while.. listen to Fashion Ka Hai Ye Jalwa!

Theme of Fashion - Fashion

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

No lyrics, no singing.. simply fantastic music is what comprises the Theme of Fashion.
It's got a good mix of ramp music, style, oomph, attitude, and can drive you crazy! and .. yes, definitely put you in a trance.

Pay attention to the santoor for sure.. followed by the violin.. and then a whole lot of instruments!

I am really looking forward to this film.. I hope it's a good watch!

Mar Jawaan - Fashion

Playback - Shruti Pandit & Salim Merchant

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

Lyrics - Sandeep Nath & Irfan Siddique

Soulful, melodious and full of passion is what I think of Mar Jawaan from the film fashion.
Very well executed in terms of music by Salim - Sulaiman (they also directed & Composed the music for Aaja Nachle..which had good music too).

If I were to categorise Mar Jawaan.. it reminds me of O re piya of Aaja Nachle..
Somehow I do find some resemblance in the two.. maybe because they are both compositions of the same music directors.

I simply love the music with which the song starts.. the piano.. sounds very peaceful which is followed by lyrics in another language.. which I have no idea about but I think it sounds amazing.

The Santoor is also sounds great with light notes at a few instances of the song...

All in all.. this song is one of my current favorites.. and you definitely need a mood to listen to this kind of music and this song.. and you definitely should give it a shot!

Walavaah wasava.. is all that I can follow of the unknown language!! But the rest of it is here:

Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan,
Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan,

Bheege bheege sapno ka jaise khat hai,
Haii..
Geeli geeli chahat ki jaise lat hai,
Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan,
Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan…

Soche dil ki aisa kaash ho,
Tujhko ek nazar meri talash ho,
Jaise khwab hai ankhon mein basse meri,
Waise needon pe silvate pade teri,
Bheege bheege armaano ki rahad hai,
Haii
Geeli geeli khwahish bhi to behad hai,
Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan,
Mar jawaan, mar jawaan,
Tere ishq pe mar jawaan..

mar jawaan..hoo…

Desi Girl - Dostana

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan & Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Anvita Dutt Guptan, Kumaar & Vishal Dadlani

The most rocking song this season is what I would call Desi Girl from Dostana.
It's picturised on Abhishek Bachchan(I really hope this film does well for him.. he really needs it), John Abraham (in a movie after a long time - last film being Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal) and Priyanka Chopra (whose last film Drona along with AB bombed at the box - office).

Desi Girl is full of josh, fast beats and a nice Punjabi feel to it.

Thinking about the lyrics of the song.. I would like to agree with the fact that there lacs of pardesi girls but at the end of it all.. a desi girl is what a guy would like to take to his parents.

Rocking song, rocking music, well picturised and I can't wait to watch the film..

So sing along..

(My desi girl
My desi girl
Girl… girl… girl… girl) —– 2

Jhumka gira de
Jo milale agar woh nazar se nazar mein taale
Nachke dikade,
Sabki dhadkan mein kadam se kadam milale
Lehron si chaal pe chaal bichade
Dil ko yun behaal bana de
Par deewane mane
Na dekhi koi aisi girl
(Na dekhi koi aisi girl)
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl

My desi girl
My desi girl

Pade kamar pe jo nazar
Saare sapno mein rang bhar jaaye
Jo thaam le woh haath toh
Hus ke hi aashiq mar jaayein

Dhoondon jahan mein chahe kahin
Na tumko milegi koi aisi girl

Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl

Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl
(My favorite lines)


My desi girl
My desi girl
Girl girl girl…..

Jahan jahan bhi jau main
Saari nazrein toh peche peche aaye
Ruku zara mein jo yahan
Thandi thandi saari saanse tham jaye
Sabki nigahon ne hai kaha
Ke khwaabon mein hai dekhi meri jaisi girl
Meri jaisi girl

Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab ko soni lagthi desi girl
Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike ’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl

Jhumka gira de
Jo milale agar woh nazar se nazar mein taale
Nachke dikade,
Sabki dhadkan mein kadam se kadam milale
Lehron si chaal pe chaal bichade
Dil ko yun behaal bana de
Par deewane mane
Na dekhi koi aisi girl
(Na dekhi koi aisi girl)
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl

My desi girl
My desi girl
Girl girl girl girl girl girl…..

Kuch Khaas - Fashion

Playback - Mohit Chauhan & Neha Bhasin

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

Lyrics - Irfan Siddique

One of the initial reality and talent shows on TV was aired on Channel V which lead to the formation of a girl pop band called VIVA which included 5 girls from all over India.
Of them - Anushka made a name in Bollywood with Golmaal and a couple of others and did a pretty good job of them.

Neha Bhasin who is the female playback singer of Kuch Khaas is a dropout of the VIVA band and wanted to do something on her own.. I think she did release an album of her's which I think did just about ok.. and now I think it's a good break with Fashion.

Mohit Chauhan's voice I would term as intoxicating.. and simply brilliant!
He has his own style of singing but once I did mistake one of his songs to be sung by Kunal Ganjawala...

Kuch Khaas has nice beats and also has the guitar music which will take you back to this old English song called "Hazard" by Richard Marx which is one of my all time favorites. Listen to it here if you haven't.

Kuch Khaas - is a nice, romantic melody worth listening to.

Jaane Kyun - Dostana

Playback - Vishal Dadlani

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Anvita Dutt Guptan, Vishal Dadlani, Kumaar

Finally a film that seems my kind.. and a movie I really do want to watch!
Listen to the music at the beginning of the song.. and it's like a march.. and then u just want to dance listening to the rest.

Somehow, the song lifts your mood and you know in your heart, things will and you will be alright!

Who who who.. is the catchy part of the song.

Thinking of Jaane Kyun.. it takes me back to "Dil Chahta Hai" and the song picturised on Aamir Khan & Preity Zinta which was also a fantastic soft song...

I am addicted to the song.. and have been listening to it almost non-stop.. I hope I'm not bored by the time the film releases (14th November).

Starring John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra & Abhishek Bachchan (I really wish the film does well or someone may just be out of work).

This is a song you should sing along with.. and it's amazing how that "one" person can make your life rock.. sing along and enjoy.. it'll be alright!

I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright

Tu hai toh tedi medi rahe
Ulti pulti baatein
Sedhi lagthi hai
Tu hai toh joote moote vaade
Dushman ke irrade
Sache lagthe hai
Jo dil mein taare vaare de jagah
Woh tu hi hai, tu hi hai
Jo rothe rothe de hassa
Tu hi hai wahin

Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai
Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright
(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)
Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai
(yeh, yeh ,yeh)
Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright
(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)

Saari duniya ek taraf hai
Ek taraf hai hum
Har khushi toh, dur bhage
Mil rahe hai gum
But when u smile for me
World seems all right
Yeh meri zindagi
Pal mein hi khil jaaye
Jaane kyun

Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai
Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright
(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)
Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai
(yeh, yeh ,yeh)
Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright
(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)

(Yeh yeh yeh
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
Yeh yeh yeh
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright) —- 2

(Jo dil mein taare vaare de jagah
Woh tu hi hai, tu hi hai
Tu hi hai) (low background voice)

oooohhhh
Chote chote kuch palon ka
Dostana yeah
Jaane kyun ab lag raha hai
Jaana maana yeah
Coz when smile for me
World seems alright
Yeah sare pal yahin
Yun hi tham se jaaye
Jaane kyun (jaane kyun)

Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai
Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright
(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)
