Saawariya - Title Song

Movie : Saawariya
Song : Saawariya Saawariya Title
Original Singers: Shail Hada
Music : Monty Sharma
Lyrics : Sameer
Sung By : Vishal

I recently came across an article about Monty Sharma and came to know that he did the background score for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movies, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Black. Although background score is very much a thankless task in Bollywood, I believe it played an equally important role in success of all these movies, especially Black. Saawariya marks the debut of Monty Sharma as a music director.

Music has been always the hallmark of Bhansali's movies and it must have been an unbelievable burden for a virtually debutant music director to take on the task of composing the tracks for such a big film. I was pretty sure he must have done a great job as I found out Monty is a nephew of music maestro Pyarelal Sharma (of Laxmikant - Pyarelal duo).

Till now I knew only one song from this movie - Jabse Tere Naina, which I love and so I decided to listen to all the songs. I started with the title track by Shail Hada and just couldn't get past it ! What a voice and singing ! Bhansali sure has a keen eye for talent and after showcasing Shreya Ghoshal so beautifully in Devdas, here we have yet another singer evidently soaked with talent.

The song kept haunting me for days and finally I found a good karaoke track to record it. Yep struggled a bit on high notes but hope I have managed to do some justice to this wonderful song ! Please listen at your convenience :-)

Cheers,
-Vishal

Zaara Jhoom Jhoom

Movie : Tom,Dick, and Harry ( 2006 )
Song : Zaara Jhoom Jhoom
Original Singer: Himesh Reshammiya
Music : Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics : Sameer
Sung By : Vishal

Ah ..Himesh Reshammiya ...The name itself is enough for many to boil their blood ..lol ..Opinions are divided on him and he has been criticized right about everything from his nasal twang, cap, dressing style etc etc ..Well despite that, he is immensely popular due to his style of music based on pop and techno beats, which is tuned with the current generation. He boasts of 36 hits in a year !

It's not like I LOVE these type of songs but someone has to sing it ;-) .....Apparently many Bollywood singers criticize him too but I guess that's because he sings his own hit songs ..lol..Well he has won "Filmfare Best Male Playback" Award in 2006 for "Aashiq Banaya Aapne" ! Can't argue with that ;-)

Just trying something different for fun but I promise a meaningful song next time ;-)

Dard-E-Disco

Movie : Om Shanti Om ( 2007 )
Song : Dard-E-Disco
Original Singer: Sukhwinder Singh
Music : Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics : Javed Akhtar
Sung By : Vishal

For the love of Sukhwinder, here is a raging number Dard-E-Disco from the upcoming movie Om Shanti Om.

The lyrics are bit silly at times and I was shocked to see Javed Sahab penning this one ..but I guess the song situation demanded it ;-) Sukhwinder is clearly the highlight of the song ..Oh wait a minute, its Shahrukh's six-pack abs ..lol ..I feel for Deepika, when the USP of the movie is not the leading lady of the movie but Shahrukh's toned body ..hehe ..

Well Sukhwinder does excel at such numbers and I sometimes envy his voice ! The range and the power in his voice is unmatchable..Also his songs are not easy by any means ..I think they are there to just listen and enjoy, not for singing ...lol..He is the most in-demand singer in Bollywood and almost every movie demands one item number from him :-) ..

Now increase the sound volume and get your dancing shoes ;-)

Main Aisa Kyun Hoon

Movie : Lakshya ( 2004 )
Song : Main Aisa Kyun Hoon
Original Singer: Shaan
Music : Shankar, Ehsan, Loy
Lyrics : Javed Akhtar
Sung By : Vishal


Well here is a cool song from the movie Lakshya, which could be one of the best choreographed dances in Indian Cinema ! It didn't surprise me when I came to know that, this was choreographed by Prabhudeva. Well..when people are talking more about the song than the movie, it gotta be special ..lol ;-) ..This is not your usual Bollywood stuff and rightly so, Prabhudeva won the Filmfare award for this.

Watch Hrithik in some of his unbelievable moves ..of course listen to my singing as well while at it ;-) ..
