Mere Sang (Remix) - New York

Playback - Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sandeep Shristava, Junaid Wasi

An old saying says, "Behind every successful man is a woman" and similar is the context of the song in the movie. It's all about how John Abraham is recovering from the trauma he goes through in jail because of false accusations due to his religion and the song's about Katrina Kaif who plays his wife helping him get out of that state of mind..

It's all about the support you give your loved ones in tough times of their lives..

The remix is nicer.. got a nice beat to it and is just a feel good song..

It's got moments where they go 'Hai Junoon'.. which I like :)

Mere Sang is a song you want to sing along with.. so here goes.. sing along!
Mere Sang Toh Chal Zara Kyun Dhike Dara Dara
Chal Tujko Aa Chupalon Apni Main Bahoon Mein
Chal Khwaab Kuch Sajaa Dun Teri In Nigahon Mein

Main Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

Ohhu Ohhhhhoooohh…
How Can I Love You More?
Ohhuu Ohhhhhooohhh
How Can I Love You More?
How Can I Love You More?

Haske Zara Saath Teri Hassi Se Mile Kal Ho Hassi
Bas Itna Chahon Mein Is Zindagi Se Zyaada Kuch Nahin
Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar


Hum Huma Hey Yaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

Rukna Na Rahon Mein Rokey Agar Kal Tujhe Parchaiyan
Sang Tere Mein Bhi Hun Tanha Nahi Hai Teri Tanhayian
Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Mere Sang Toh Chal Zara Kyun Dhike Dara Dara
Chal Tujhko Aa Chupalon Apni Main Bahoon Mein
Chal Khwaab Kuch Sajaa Dun Teri In Nigahon Mein

Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

How Can I Love You More???
Ohhhuuu Ohhhhhoooohhhh

Ye Dooriyan - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Mohit Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

Distances make love fonder..

Distances make people ponder..

Is this what is meant to be, or is this how it should be..

This is what I want, but is this how we thought it would be?

Dooriyan, a painfully nice track from Love Aaj Kal sung by Mohit Chauhan is on my current favorites list.. Full of emotion, melody and nice music.

Nice song, nice lyrics. Listen to it here & sing along..

Yeh Dooriyan..

Yeh Dooriyan..

Yeh Dooriyan

In Raho Ki Dooriyan, Nigahon Ki Dooriyan

Humraho Ki Dooriyan, Fanaa Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

May whatever distances there are, get destroyed

Kyun koi paas hai, Door Hai,

Kyun Koi Jaane Na , Koi Yahan Pe

Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Main

Ja Raha Janoo Na Main Hu Kahan Pe

Someone is close, but far, no one knows if I'm getting closer or further..

I don't know where I am

Yeh Dooriyan

In Raho Ki Dooriyan, Nigahon Ki Dooriyan

Humraho Ki Dooriyan, Fanaa Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Ye Dooriyan.. ye dooriyan.. ye dooriyan

Kabhi Huwa Yeh Bhi, Khali Rahon Pe Bhi

Tu Tha Mere Saath ,

Kabhi Tujhe Milke, Lauta Mere Dil

Yeh Khaali Khaali Haath

Yeh Bhi Hua Kabhi, Jaise Hua Abhi

Tujhko Sabhi Mein Paa Liya

There was a time, when on empty paths, you were with me

We met and then my heart was right where it was meant to be

Now is another time, when my hands are empty like now

And I found you in everyone around...

Tera Mujhe

Kar Jaati Hai Dooriyan Sataati Hai Doorian

Tarsaati Hai Dooriyan Fanaa Ho Sabhi Doorian

Kaha Bhi Na Maine, Nahin Jeena Maine

Tu Jo Na Mila

Tujhe Bhule Se Bhi, Bola Na Main Yeh Bhi

Chahu Faasla

Bas Faasla Rahe Banke Kasak Jo Kahe

Ho Aur Chahat Yeh Jawan

Teri Meri

Mit Jani Hai Dooriyan Begani Hai Doorian

Hatt Jani Hai Dooriyan Fanaa Ho Sabhi Doorian

Kyun Koi Paas Hai, Door Hai

Kyun Koi Jaane Na , Koi Yahan Pe

Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Mein

Ja Raha Janoo Na Mein Hu Kahan Pe

Yeh Dooriyan

In Raho Ki Dooriyan Nigahon Ki Dooriyan

Humraho Ki Dooriyan Fanna Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Dhan Te Nan - Kaminey

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Vishal Dadlani

Music - Vishal Bharadwaj

Lyrics - Gulzar

Ready, steady, go! That's what this song reminds me of..
Fast, head shaking and catchy is how I'd describe Dhan Te Nan.

It's a good blend of fast music, rhythm and some lyrics which talk about the game of money and how these guys want to find some way of a striking good luck that night!

Aaja aaja kal nichode..
Raat ki Matki tode
Koi good luck nikale..
Aaj ghulak to fode.

Are are re re
Dil dil dara
Mera teli ka tel
Kodi kodi paisa paisa
Paise ka khel

Find lyrics of the full song here.

Kaminey in my opinion will be a make or break kind of movie for Shahid Kapoor.. it's a double role and a Vishal Bharadwaj film who has a reputation of unusually nice hindi films..

Omkara was his last big movie which got the ball rolling for Saif Ali Khan too!

Let's wait and watch how the film does at the box-office.. in the mean time, Dhan Te Nan it is :)

Watch a snippet here:

Twist - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

If 45 retakes is what it takes to make a fantastic song.. with Saif Ali Khan finally getting the moves right.. so be it!

We Twist is a song that's been composed with the help of the Nagin tune of the Mann Dole song by the legend Hemant Kumar along with a lot of beats and dance music.
I think Pritam as a musician is a good guy who makes some good music after a lot of "inspiration" from other artists :P

But on a more serious note.. I think he does indeed come up with some great compositions.. inspired or original.. the music rocks!

We Twist is a song that's foot tapping.. for sure.. love the dhol music and the way it's sung.

High energy and rhythm by Neeraj Sridhar.. well done I'd say!

My favorite lines from the song are:

(The rap in the beginning of the song!)

Let's have some raunak shaunak, let's have some party now
(Raunak shaunak, party sharty, dole shole and the likes.. just a style of speech to add some rhyming words to what you're actually trying to say :) )

Let’s Have Some Ralla Rafta

Round De Chak Hey Round De Chak
(whatever that means!)

Let’s Have Some Dhol Dhamaka
Let’s Call The Dholi Now
Let’s Have Some Matti Tappa
(Punjabi music, Bhangra and the likes.. are just so much fun.. full of energy)

Chalo Chalo Ji Lak Lak Ga Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Mauj Mana Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Nach Lo Gaa Lo
Pakad Kisi Ki Wrist
And We Twist We Twist!

The song's a sure winner.. and I'm waiting to see this song on the big screen :)

Hai Junoon - New York

Playback - KK

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sandeep Shristava, Junaid Wasi

Sometimes you just love the pulse of a song.. Hai Junoon is that kind of a song.. which you listen to and just feel good.. !

It's thoroughly inspiring and full of life.. a song that can make your mood doubly nice.. and make you move your head and probably even sing along :)

It's that kind of a song which describes how people just go with their passion, their heart felt thoughts and just go with the flow because of their Junoon.. and then don't worry about circumstances.. good or bad!

[Yaaron Anjano ki fikar
Na karti yeh umar
Phir bhala kyun daro]

And then..it's about how you lose touch with friends after your college life (reminds me of another college kinda song (Purani jeans aur guitar).. and then one fine day you meet up and just find that connect from the good old days.. how do you deal with that moment of mixed emotions? Hai Junoon... if you want to, you can :)

[Kabhi jo milenge raste
Pal mein hi chamke gi hasi purani
To Kaho Kya kahoge phir humein
Kaise chupaoge nami yeh palko ki

Yeh bata hai kya hua
Hua hai kyon Bataa

Yaaroon !!]

Live life to the fullest, keep the faith in your self, life will be good.. keep the fire & baby in you alive!!

[Yaaro Jee bhar ke jee le pal
Lagta hai aaj kal Daur apna aayega

Yaaro Jo khud pe ho yakeen
Jo zindagi Haseen
Tujhe kal bulayega

Hai Junoon
Hai Junoon sa Jeene mein ]

This song is definitely one of my favorites.. awesome music and just like the "Aashayein" song from the movie Iqbal.. simply brilliant!

P.S. This is my 199th post :D
