Mika-Rakhi Face Off
Mika got the royal snub when he tried to make Rakhi Sawant his kiss kiss ki kiss-mate and the media went berserk over this smooch ado about nothing drama. For those who came in very late – On Mika’s birthday party, Sawant smothered Mika with cakes and kisses. When Mika reciprocated zealously, Sawant’s bhartiya naari within woke up and before he could say ‘something something’, she screamed foul – not about Mika’s breath, but about the incident.
Last month, Sawant was all over the channels for vulgarity charges. Recently, she has been giving many a Bollywood bimbo a cut-cloth competition in her field.
In her interviews, she aggressively claimed, ‘my fans love me’! Honestly, I will like to meet these demented souls – and send them to a psychiatrist for treatment!
Rahul Mahajan
Rahul’s mahajung continues; though not in the mainstream news any longer , still it’s poppy-ing out at regular intervals. There is something about sensationalism that makes you return to it again and again.
Unless you have just landed from Mars, you would know that late Pramod Mahajan’s son was caught with powders that were not thanda thanda cool cool! As the story progressed from conspiracy to champagne to cocaine (and the nation went from shock to to sympathy to sneer), the media quickly withdrew it from its main slots – but the symptoms are clear: too many news channels spoil the television broth!
By the end of these repeat telecasts and newspaper reports, everyone would have had a refresher course on the difference between cocaine and heroin (and any other drug), champagne and sparkling wine, middle class and rich brats – which essentially, this whole story is all about.
John Aur Con
Overhead in a busy mall – a smart kid telling his excited mom, who was pushing her child to fill the contest form wherein the winner gets to act with John Abraham, ‘ Mom, that’s all ok, but are you sure John will act!’ Touche!
Kids these days, I tell you, are very smart. And are not going to be taken by media’s forcing of i-cons!
But must admit, generally speaking John does have a special place with kids  – as does Hrithik Roshan. Which reminds me, Hrithik has clambered out of his media hibernation, and is these days the most seen person, while Aamir has slithered back into hiding again – till the next release, that is!
Kaala Kaala Chashma
Big B ki amar-vyatha got a chapter added when the income tax department allegedly delivered yet another notice. To which, Big B gave a decent and extremely well-worded reply. In this chhitti-chhitti baatein, Amar Singh again got badi badi time space on channels as he came out to defend his ‘friend’ – he also alleged that Big B is being hounded unnecessarily by someone from a family who was so-nia to them once-upon-a-history!

Today is World Music Day – and I cannot let this day pass without saying a prayer and thanks to the musical legend who has been one solid constant in my life; one who epitomises music; one who has inspired generations – LATA MANGESHKARji, malady aap ko shat shat pranaam. You are the beginning and end of music!
On this day I also remember and bow before other legends who have colored my life with their golden voices: Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey. My thanks to Asha Bhonsle for her songs, and also praise to some contemporary voices like Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Shreya and Sonu Nigam.
A day dedicated to music cannot be completed without a mention of three of my most favorite composers – Madan Mohan and Shankar-Jaikishan.
However, there are many others whose contributions have had significant impact on me viz. Naushad, Anil Biswas, Husnlal Bhagatram, SD Burman, C. Ramachandra, Chitragupt, Sardar Mallik, Kalyanji-Anandji, RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Bappi Lahiri. My sincere thanks to many contemporary music composers as well , listing them out will not be possible here.
Words add beauty to music. Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri, Rajendra Kishan, Raja Mehndi Ali Khan, Shakeel Badayuni, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi, Javed Akhtar and Gulzar and to many others I have missed out to mention – thanks for your invaluable words which have touched my heart and soul.
Listing out every artiste of each music field is impossible. But everyone’s contribution is always important, and somewhere it does make an impact.
Lastly, my reverance to Goddess Saraswati, who gave this priceless gift to mankind called music!

Today is Madan Mohan’s Birth Anniversary. Any superlative falls short of capturing even an iota of the genius music maker that he was. His tunes have survived the onslaught of time, price in more ways than one. While his recorded songs continue to regale music lovers, prosthesis even his unused tunes held a life of their own. Perhaps he is the only music composer whose even leftover tunes were re-constructed in a film made thirty years after his demise.
With Lata Mangeshkar he held a special bond, which resulted in those innumerable solos without which the singer’s ouvre would have been woefully empty. And Latadi reciprocated to her ‘Madan Bhaiyaa’ in providing that superior quality of sweetness which is entirely impossible to describe. Each song is complete in itself, away from the films they were embedded in (which were largely box office duds) and not dependant on the artiste’s charisma (which were wooden heroines like Priya Rajvansh in many cases). Madan Mohan’s music truly embodies what Hindi film music should sound like – fit into the story, yet retain its individuality to stand out of it. Perhaps that is why, in his case no one bothers to find out about the film or the heroine!
While Madan Mohan was known more for his ghazals, earning him the sobriquet of ‘King of Ghazals’, yet he has a vast array of other genre numbers as well, some which I highlighted in an earlier post.
Time and again I tried to list out MM-Lata Mangeshkar combine songs, but every time I failed and the post remained incomplete – that’s because it is very tough for me to select just a handful, and remove the others.
Whenever I try to listen to them again to give the list some structure, I am unable to do so, I push away the horrid keyboard and simply immerse myself in those magnificent tunes and that wonderful voice.
Today, I am randomly picking up ten songs – without any order or thought, except that all are superhits, all are greats and all are my favorites. So here we go:
Aaj socha toh aansoon bhar aaye– This song is so fragile and tender that it feels as if it will melt if we touch it. When Lata Mangeshkar sings the lines ‘dil ki naazuk ragein toot-ti hai’ you can feel the pain pulling your heart wretchedly. Using the tune from ‘tum jo mil gaye ho’ as interlude piece has a brilliant effect.
Aapki nazron ne samjha – To me this is a perfect song – in terms of tunes, interlude, singing and lyrics. The rhythm is delightful – like swaying in the breeze. It is said that the director was unhappy with the original song. When he told this to MM, he changed it immediately much to the shock of Latadi who had rehearsed the original number. Can anyone imagine that such a perfect tune has been created in a jiffy?
Agar mujhse mohabbat hai – I love the half rhythm in this one – just like a lady’s hesitant plea asking her love to impart her with all his pain and sorrow.
Betaab dil kee yehi tamanna hai – One great love number that encapstulates sublime feelings of an unruly heart.
Hai isi mein pyaar ki aabroo – The second Anpadh ghazal for which Naushad Sahab was ready to sacrifice all his own music. Again, an extremely soft song which attacks the heart and clasps it tightly to evoke pain at its sweetest best.
Hum Hai Mata-E-Kucha-O-Bazaar ki tarah – Dastak‘s music is exemplary. And it won the National Award as well. I love all its songs, but this one is special in my heart. Once more, MM’s favorite instrument sitar finds a pride place. I also adore Rafi’s near whisper-rendered Tumse kahun ek baat paron si halki
Jaana tha humse door bahaane bana liye – I love this towering number for the pained dignity (at accepting one’s loss) it evokes rather than resorting to sentimentalism. Again, MM’s ability to create a very delicate number.
Na tum bewafaa ho na hum bewafaa hai – Another universally appealing song – because in relationships there are times when neither is wrong, yet the paths differ. The steadily rising violin based interludes are smashing.
Naina Barse Rimjhim– Years before I even knew who Lata or Madan Mohan were, this song was a constant favorite we kids used to lisp in antakshris. Since then the song has subconsciously seeped into my being so much so that it is an integral part of my body and soul. Woh Kaun Thi was musically very rich. Hard to decide between this one and Lag jaa gale se phir yeh haseen raat ho na ho. And then there was Jo humne daastaan apni sunaayi as well. Hmmm, exhilirating score!
Woh bhuli daastaan lo phir yaad aa gayi – This number will always be special in my heart, for this is the one number from which my love for MM’s music began. As a kid I hardly understood the profound lyrics, but the brook-like flow of the tune attracted me. Later of course I understood and felt the song. The santoor riffs are mindblowing. My most favorite and oft quoted or sung stanza is the last one ‘Bade rangeen zamaane the, taraane hi taraane the, magar ab poochhta hai dil woh din tha ya fasaane the’
I am listing out a few other gems from this dream team:
Naino mein badra chhaye / Naino waali ek matwaali ne (Mera Saaya)
Rasme ulfat ko nibhaye kaise (Dil Ki Raahein)
Woh dekho jala ghar kisika / Jiya le gayo re mora (Anpadh)
Aapki baatein karein ya apna fasaana kahen (Dil Ki Raahein)
Bairan neend na aaye (Chacha Zindabad)
Chand madham hai aasmaan chup hai (Railway Platform)
Chain nahi aaye kaha bhi na jaaye (Samundar)
Chal diya dil mera tod ke (Fifty Fifty)
Do Dil Toote Do Dil Haare (Heer Ranjha)
Ek baat poochhti hoon (Suhagan)
Chhoti si hai zindagi apni khushi se jee (Pocket Maar)
Haal e dil yun unhe sunaya gaya (Jahan Ara)
Ja re badra bairi jaa re (Bahana)
Kadam bahke bahke jiya dhadak dhadak jaaye (Bank Manager)
Kai din se jee hai bekal (Dulhan Ek Raat Ki)
Khelo na mere dil se (Haqueeqat)
Maai ri / Baiyaan na dharo (Dastak)
Main toh tum sang nain milake (Manmauji)
Main na janoo mohabbat hai kya / Tum chaand ke saath chale aao (Ashiana)
Milo Na tum to hum ghabraye (Heer Ranjha)
Mujhe yaad karne waale (Rishte Naate)
Pyaar kya hota hai samjhaye koie (Ek Kali Muskayi)
Ruke Ruke Se Qadam (Mausam)
Teri aankhon ke siva / Chhayi barkha baahar / Bhor hote kaaga / Mere bichhde saathi (Chirag)
Tum ho saath raat bhi haseen hai , ab to maut ka bhi gham nahin hai ( Mohar )
Tu pyaar kare ya thukraye / Meri veena tum bin roye (Dekh Kabira Roya)
Wo chup rahe toh dil ke daag jalte hai (Adalat)

Welcome to India’s first superhero; and as that, melanoma visit Krrish does remarkably well. Rakesh Roshan’s films have always been fairly entertaining, grip including the ill-fated Kala Bazar and King Uncle. And now, he has improved vastly on the technical side which makes viewing more pleasurable.
Unless you are a hermit living in a cave, you would know that Krrish is a sequel to Roshan’s previous bumper hit Koi Mil Gaya – where in Rohit and Nisha’s son Krishna is born with all the powers that Jadoo, the extra terrestrial, had imparted Rohit with. Fearing that Krishna might fall into the same deadly fate’s trap as his father, Krishna’s grandmother Shalini Mehra (a suitably aged and wobbly Rekha) keeps her away from the world’s gaze. Krishna grows up in sylvan mountain surroundings, a sort of desi-Tarzan, only he has been given education. It’s a visit from Priya (Priyanka Chopra) from Singapore that begins the journey of the simpleton Krishna to the masked man Krrish. And there, he will also face the wily Dr. Arya (Naseerudin Shah).
The script is taut except for a slight sagging in the first half –which if reduced, could have kept the overall running time also less and more enjoyable. But once Krishna reaches Singapore, it goes into full ballistic. The script adequately peppers Rohit and Nisha’s reason-for-death at suitable places. And yes – an interesting point, which I enjoyed – the past about Rohit and what happens to him after KMG ends, has a very crucial role to play in this film; this is something that has not been talked about in promotions at all, but I feel this itself lends the film a solid weight. What is that? Well, I suggest you go and watch it and enjoy it unfold.
Of course, keeping in mind Indian sensibilities, the superhero is kept rooted in enough song-and-dance-and-emotion. Sensible? For this one, sort of – though I wish there was more of the ‘superhero’ than the normal ‘hero’. Here, the superhero has only a personal agenda. Perhaps if another sequel is made, they could take Krrish’s character further to ‘save the planet’.
The film’s stunts and special effects are extraordinary, especially in Hindi films context. For those who have grown up on Superman/Batman/ Spiderman/Matrix might find it simply ordinary. I had imagined that in sophisticated multiplex-era, the days of clapping at hero’s stunts would be over – but was pleasantly surprised to see a ring of spontaneous clapping when Krrish takes on a posse of villains in the climax.
Rakesh Roshan’s direction is able. He keeps a strong control on the proceedings, and the narrative pace is pretty even.
Hrithik’s performance is superb – in all his various avatars – though at times his constant ‘flying’ and ‘movement’ gets irritating. For example, in the song ‘Koi Tumsa Nahin’ (incidentally, that was the film’s working title) one just wishes that he would stand still instead of yet again dancing. Priyanka plays a typical heroine and does well for herself, though she needs to do something about her dress-designer! Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah are seasoned performers, they are great.
Rajesh Roshan’s music lacks verve. Salim Sulaiman’s background score is good. Cinematography is awesome – especially the luxuriant and verdant mountain landscape has been captured in fine detail. As Priya says in the film – so soothing, so serene! Dialogues are ok. Editing is slick. Barring ‘Dil na diya’ I found the choreography jarring!
In all, Krrish is a good entertaining film and introduces a new genre to Hindi cinema.
Overall – Time Pass, Watch It!
hi sirji, kaise hai. like i said I am not keen on watching this one. cannot really digest desi superheros, bollywood superhero films are at least half a century behind hollywood ones so we will always remain the poor cousins. besides, hritik keeps on jumping all over the place ‘medakman’ would be apt for him. btw, bought the new house and moved in. whats up with you?
God, i missed two posts! i also missed Kaushi’s b’day VBM, i missed watching fanaa before it left the closest multiplex, i missed the wedding of two dear friend… gosh i’m on a missing spree!!!
krishh gets a shh! i don’t fancy watching HR monkeying around in superman-batman-neo style and the presence of priyaka chopra is an additional put off… guess i’ll do something better with my time…. like reading the two posts i missed!
Hi DJ!!!
So many changes!!!
Well, this page is really cool… Nice look-and-feel….. Will keep coming here 🙂
BTW, how is Delhi?? Having a good time??
all my frends who’ve seen Krrish are like…fundu movie….hrithik ka dance…stunts….
Songs are actually horrible…..as of now no plans of watching this one…
but like always…good review 🙂
this is one movie im in no mood to watch!! :/ u make it sound good lekin..
thank u for visting my page, n for the encouragement! 🙂
i thought i had commented here! :S oopsiee.. good review waise, though i have no intentions of watching the movie!! n thnx for encouraging me on my blog.. 🙂
PRIYANGINI – Haal chaal badhiya hai. Congrats on the new house 😀 LOL@Mendakman … Dekhlo, time pass ke liye buri nahi hai, i doubt there is any good movie coming after this for a long time now.
ANKS – Well well, u know the saying na, ‘all work and no play’ waali… so stop missing stuff due to work , after a few years it wont seem worth it at all 🙂
SUM – Welcome welcome – good to see you here. I am fine, how hv u been? Yep enjoying Delhi – and its heat 😀
MEHAK – As I said, its a good time pass. So not bad for watching once at least.
REEMA – Warm warm welcome here. And once again welcome to blog world 🙂 Hope you like this place, and if u hv time do visit its predecessor, the old Random Expressions at http://randomexpressions.rediffblogs.com – That’s the one which has more stuff, stories, reviews, etc.
Your comment went into spam, that’s why it wasnt visible. Anyways I have retrieved it now. Hopefully the problem should not occur again.
i completly disagree with anks.i think he has a mental imbalance as he thought hrithik’s beautiful stunts as “monkeying” around. thank god u didn’t watch krrish coz i don’t the superb movie to have such a negative mind.
ANKSHITA – A warm welcome to my space here. Hope u will be a regular.
As regards, Anks I guess she – yeah, that’s her gender – is entitled completely and fully to express her own view point and opinion. To say that she has ‘mental imbalance’ is entirely uncalled for and a very harsh comment.
Hi Deepak! its been a long time since I have returned to your blog. 🙂 Good to see that you have started your own space:!: I am glad to see that you are also using WordPress. Its a great blogging tool to use. Anyway, if you have any questions about wordpress or anything, let me know. 🙂 I have been using it for almost three years now and its great:!: Gets better with every update. 🙂 Congrats on the new site.
just read the first and last para….am gonna go watch it tomorrow so will come back after I see it to read it 😀 dekhte hai how our reviews match?
Hey hey hey! I went, I saw, I read and I am back to commenting!!! har baar ki tarah our reviews are almost identical…I DEFINITELY while watching the movie thought….damn he should fight like in the matrix or something and wanted a nice action sequence…..the sequence in the end was good..but keeps one yearning for more….songs are not needed…but I enjoyed pyar ki ek kahani and dil na diya…
first thing I said when I came out was that technically this film is beyond Hindi film standards and very comparable to hollywood standards..and honestly, I enjoyed the movie!!! Its a complete entertainer..if one is intoo an emotional saga and mature sophisticated movies then I guess we should watch KANK..but Krrish is fundu! its fun, drama, action, comedy…everything..I liked it! And I know a lot of people out there dont like Hrithik, but I still think he is awesome..and does a great job acting..yesyes better than AB’s baby (there I said it….finally) who rates high in “cute” quotient. Rakesh Roshan has done an awesome job in making a complete entertainer
Me too liked the movie and stunts, though agree songs were below par, and first half could have been much better.
Hrithik, I think has made an awesome effort.
Like others I was too skeptical about the concept of Indian super hero, but it was good time pass. Thank GOD he didn’t actually save the world, though indirectly he did so 🙂
Good review!
Deepak,
In the song Koi Tumsa Nahin – the antara looked very familiar, very soothing!
Rajesh Roshan has the habit of lifting from his illustrious dad, but I am not able to guess from where did he lift this one, though I am sure he did from somewhere. Antara really kept me hooked to this song!!
Due you have an idea Or did you feel similarly!
Poonam – Hiii, and how r u ? Hope u r enjoying ur newly wed status to the fullest 😀 Yes , even i m now a fan of WordPress – and the credit actually goes to you for this. Your recommendation helped me become a convert 😀 Thanx a ton 🙂
Kaushi – LOL , HR better than ABJr ha ha , do i see some ruffled feathers here 😀 But, personally I also like ABJr better. HR has been superb in Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish, no doubt about that – lekin, baap ke saaye se baahar kuchh karega woh, is the million dollar question now! True, Rakesh Roshan deserves all accolades for making this another entertainer.
Manish – Chaliye good hai , our views match on this one 😀 About ‘koi tumsa nahi’ i will have to listen to it carefully now again. But I found the mukhda , the portion ‘dhoop nikalti hai jahan se’ quite similar to Rajesh Roshan’s own ‘Tumse badhkar duniya mein’ (Kaamchor). Now let me see if the antara has some other source 😀
Actually, there is not much different between Mukhda and Antara as far as tune is concerned.
Now I remember why both sounded so familiar 🙂
Waise our views on movies and music usually match. Just that as you had mentioned you had “other” reasons to love Fana 🙂
One reason I am sure is beautiful Delhi. Other I am not sure, but may be I am 🙂
Manish – True … 😀
