Aashiqui 2: Movie Review by Aparna Vashisht

2013-05-08T11:48:00.000+05:30

A few days ago, I made my niece listen a beautiful & melodious track from 90s. The song was "Aur ahista kijiye baatein" from Pankaj Udhas.

This is a track that is liked by almost every music lover of our generation. But to my surprise, my niece found the song "funny". It was quite an awkward moment as I recommended the song considering her otherwise good taste of music. I realised that this is how the demands & preferences of music, films & maybe everything else changes over a generation.

Now if the choice of music & cinema changes so drastically with every new generation, making a quasi-sequel Aashiqui-2, 23 years after the first installment, looks like a double edged sword. I had my share of doubts with this film. The 1990 musical blockbuster has a whole generations's fan following. Will the sequel be able to do justice to their sky high expectations that come just with the brand name "Aashiqui" and at the same time also cater to the demands of the present day audience. Honestly, at first I found the title of the film quite suicidal. I wondered , why did they name it as Aashiqui-2? Why even relate it with a film that was released 23 years ago when it is neither a remake nor a continuation of the story?

Well, after watching the movie, I can say for sure that there could not be a more apt title for this film. Why so?

Because Aashiqui-2 is only about two things. First, its soulful music that is already topping the charts. So a sequel to a musical blockbuster makes sense. And second, The Aashiqui.

Yes! If music is the soul, love is the backbone of Aashiqui2. When you watch the film, the music grows on you and you feel the strong bond of love that is depicted in the film. That is how it succeeds in maintaing the aforementioned balance. Music of Aashiqui2 is an instant hit with the present day cine-goers and the strong, selfless love story appeals to one and all. Seldom do we get to see such love stories on celluloid these days.

Being a very big and loyal fan of Yash Chopra's love stories, I want to confess that even the latest offering from YR Films "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" failed to make an impact that is synonymous with Yash Chopraromances. But Aashiqui-2 strikes a chord with its simple story that is told so beautifully without any exotic foreign locales or the flowing chiffon sarees. Mohit Suri definitely deserves a big applaud for this one.

It is an out-and-out musical. There is hardly any moment in the film without any music in the background. It is very common these days when you feel that an otherwise beautiful track is wasted in a not-so-good film. The best example I can think of right now is "Tu Jane Na" from Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. Aashiqui 2, however, is a winner when it comes to music hands down. The narrative many a times is completed with the soulful numbers which help taking the story forward. Lyrics go with the flow of the movie and don't sound like a misfit. Tum hi Ho has already become the newest love anthem of the country. Sun Raha Hai Na Tu plays for almost 30 minutes continuously and is more than likable in both versions. The best part is that there are no unnecessary item numbers or irritating remixes.

Aditya Roy Kapoor & Shradhha Kapoor both look good in their characters. But I liked Sharadhha Kapoor more. There are scenes where you feel they could do better. At the same time there are some scenes where they excel as performers. One such scene is when Rahul (Aditya Roy Kapoor) is searching for liquor in his home. The exasperation & helplessness is so evident on his face. The lead pair is such that you feel for them throughout the film. You feel happy and smile with them, feel sad and cry with them. Sharadha Kapoor as Aaruhi is very convincing. She looks naive & innocent and acts well at most of the places. Her Marathi sometimes looked forced though. Shaad Randhawa as Vivek, Rahul's best friend (exactly like Deepak Tijori in Aashiqi -1990) is brilliant.

The narrative is fast paced in the first half. How I wished that the film should have ended just 5 minutes before the intermission. It was like a fairy tale success story & romance till that point. But as in real life, in films too, life is not hunky dory. Then come the problems and the audience witness the actual love between the two protagonists. There are many such moments amidst the ongoing tension where you feel, there would be an outburst, they will have an argument and the beautiful relationship would fallout. But the beauty of characters is such that this does not happen even once. This is what I liked the most in the film. They are shown so much in love that nothing else matters to them. No insecurities, no jealousies. A pure love story in its truest sense which is a delight to watch in current Bollywood era. Having said that, the second half appears a bit dragged & repetitive at times. There are some other glitches also but I would like to give them a miss as an incentive for depicting a strong love tale in cinema after so long.

The climax again is very powerful. It does make a gripping impact and I for one was smiling with tears in my eyes. One of the best written lines in the song Tum Hi Ho -- "Main Jo Mit Bhi Gaya To Wajood Mera Sada Tujh Mein Rahe Zinda" comes alive when Aaruhi (Sharadhha Kapoor) signs as Aaruhi Rahul Jaykar!

On a final note, Aashiqui 2 is a simple love story high on emotional quotient and has a sweet yesteryear charm to it. Watch it for the sheer power of love & music :)

Chakh Le Ye Murabba Lyrics Translation (Bombay Talkies)

2013-05-08T00:24:00.001+05:30

Movie: Bombay Talkies
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Kavita Seth

Sabr ki meethee chaashnee mein bhigo kay
Waqt khadaa hai martbaan mein le ke
Le, chakh le ye murabbaa
Dil mein, rakh le ye murabbaa

Getting it drenched in the sweet syrup of patience
Time is standing, holding it in a jar..
Take it, taste this jam..
Keep this jam in your heart

[some context: a common Hindi proverb 'sabr ka phal meetha hota hai' means 'the fruit of patience is always sweet'. A murabba is a kind of jam where you soak fruits and sometimes vegetables in sweet syrup so that they are sweet and also don't rot.]

Zindagi.. jaisi iski zaat hai
Jitni zyada umar hai, baat hai
Beet ke, jitne mausam chhoo gaye
Utne is ke seene mein jazbaat hai
Kal se zyaadaa, aaj tar lagtaa hai
Kal phir khaana behtar lagtaa hai
Le, chakh le yeh murabba

Life, as its nature is,
The more its age, the better it is..
As many weathers touched it and passed,
So many emotions are there in its chest..
[as in, every passing weather gives birth to a new emotion in one's heart.]
It feels more soaked than yesterday,
and eating again tomorrow feels even better..
Take, taste this jam..

Kisi ka sanjoyaa hua
Tujh tak aayaa hai ye
Le, chakh le yeh murabba
Kisi ki kadardaaniyon ka sarmaayaa hai
Dil mein rakh le yeh murabbaa

It has reached you
as it was cherished by someone..
Take it, taste this jam..
You're indebted to someone's mercies (for this),
Keep this jam in your heart..

Subhanallah Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafa Hai Lyrics Translation

2013-05-07T19:19:00.000+05:30

Movie: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Sreeram Chandra

Ek din kabhee jo khud ko taraashay
Meri nazar se tu zaraa, haaye re
Aankhon se teree kyaa kyaa chhupaa hai
Tujh ko dikhaaoon main zaraa, haye re
Ik ankahee si daastaan daastaan
Kehne lagegaa aainaa
Subhanallah..
Jo ho raha hai pehlee dafa hai wallah
Aisa hua..

One day, if you sometime admire* yourself
from my eye,
What all is hidden from your eye,
I shall show you..
The mirror will begin to say an unsaid story
God is great,
whatever is happening, is for the first time,
O Lord..

[The context of Subhanallah - Glory be to God - here is that the poet/singer is praising God for making his beloved so beautiful.]

Meri khaamoshi se baatein chun lenaa
Unn ki Doree say taareefein bun lenaa

Kal nahee thee jo aaj lagtee hoon
Taareef meree hai khaamakhaa
Tohfaa hai teraa meri adaa

To pick up talks from my silence,
and weave praises from the thread (of these talks),
(as a result)
I today feel like what I was not until yesterday..
My praise is false..
My style is your gift (for praising me)..

Ek din kabhi jo khud ko pukaaray
Meri zubaan se tu zaraa, haye re
Tujh mein chhupee si jo shaayari hai
Tujh ko sunaaoon main zaraa, haye re
Ye do dilon kaa waasta waasta
Khul ke bataayaa jaaye naa
Subhanallah..

One day if you call yourself
from my tongue,
The poetry that is hidden in you,
I'll say that poetry to you..
This relation of two hearts,
cannot be said openly
[and so he'd be able to tell about it better with the help of poetry.]

* Taraashna means to chisel, the word is commonly used for jewels. However, the meaning that the lyricist seems to be taking here is to admire.

My story ends in you,
My story ends in you alone..

Shaamein malang see
Raatein surang see
Baaghi udaan pe hi naa jaane kyun
Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye
Ilaahi mera jee aaye aaye

Evenings, as if they're mad,
nights like some tunnel..
I don't know why on rebel flights only,
O God, my heart comes..
O God, my heart is interested..

DaDa dang dang dung dung dang...

Khaanaabadoshiyon pe hi jaane kyoon
Ilahi meraa jee aaye aaye
Ilaahi mera jee aaye aaye

There is a question about tomorrow,
[as in, no one knows what happens tomorrow]
Living life is now.
I don't know why in nomadic ways only
I find my heart interested, O Lord,
my heart is interested..

Meraa falsafaa kandhe pe mera bastaa
Chalaa main jahaan le chalaa mujhe rastaa
Boondon pe nahin
Boondon ke samandar pe wo-o-wo-o..

My philosophy is - my bag is on my shoulders.
I go wherever the path takes me..
Not on the drops,
But the sea of drops itself..

Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye
Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye..

Shaamein malang si
Raatein surang si
Baaghi udaan pe hi na jaane kyun
Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye
Ilahi mera jee aaye aaye

Ilahii.. Ilahi.. Ilahi...

O God, O God.. O God..

Jigara Fakeera Ho
Jigara Fakeera Ho
Saareyaan De Dil Di Samajhdaa

The Saintly Heart
Understands what is going on in everyone else's heart

Ankkhan De Hanju Nai Disde Zamaane Nu
Khushiyaan De Bhaagi Saare Ghum Vichon Visre Kyun
Sukkhi Suraahee Vargi Si Saadi Zindagi
Amrit Di Boondan Vargi Hai Rab Di Aashiqui

The world doesn't see the tears in one's eyes
All are there to share the happiness,
why do they forget in the times of distress
My Life was like a dry vessel
But the love for God is like the drops of elixir of life

Jigra Fakeera Ho
Sareyan De Dil Di Samajhda

Jigra Manjeera Ho
Jigra Manjeera Ho
Saareyaan De Dil Di Samajhda

The Crying Heart
Understands what is going on in everyone else's heart

[Manjeera actually is a loud musical instrument]

Jag Saaraa Vekheya Milyaa, Dil Nu Nahi Sukoon
Rishtaan De Dhaage Kachhe, Rab Ne Banaaye Kyoon
Saare Jahaan To Saachi, Rab Di Hai Bandagi
Kho Ja To Paa Jayega Saadi Vargi Har Khushi

Though I've seen n met the whole world, my heart is not at peace
Why did God create such weak bonds of relationships
The only truth in this world is the God Worship
Immerse yourself in this and you will find all the happiness

Jigraa Fakeera Ho
Jigraa Faqeera Ho
Sareyaan De Dil Di Samajhda

How Will The Movie Go Goa Gone Be?

2013-05-05T04:10:00.000+05:30

Again, we haven't seen the movie. But based on the trailers, director, actors, and their records, we'll try to guess. There we go.

The trailers were fine, the songs are okay, the directors' record is good. And the actors are not bad, and can perform at times. Even Saif Ali Khan can come up with a good comic timing, though his last two films weren't that great.

Besides, as directors, Raj Nidmoru and Krishna DK have some good movies to their credit, including Shor in the City and 99, though neither got too popular, mostly because of not over-the-top marketing budgets.

And yes, the songs and the trailers of the movie have been good. Dialogs are funny, as much as we have heard them yet. So our guess is, the movie should be a good time pass. However, we'll not suggest you the movie that highly if you're a regular Hollywood fan and have seen a lot of Zombie films, because in that case you'll not have much new there.

Btw, it's an 'A' rated movie, due to the violence in the film, and the gore content.

How Will the Movie Gippi Be?

2013-05-05T03:18:00.001+05:30

This is not a movie review. We haven't yet seen the movie, but based on the trailers, directors, actors, their past records and other factors, we try to guess how the movie would be. It's certainly not an exact thing, but we will give you the best opinion we can, unless there is an opinion based on the actual movie.

Gippi is a film based on teenagers' problems, and seems to have a little different treatment. The movie is expected to look more real compared to most teenage movies which revolve completely around crushes and first loves. Also, though the director Sonam Nair is new, her credentials are strong with an assistant director's credit for Wake Up Sid.

On the negative side, there are no big stars in the movie, and other than Divya Dutta there is no one on which you can rely for a good performance. However, the trailers look okay and you can expect at least okay performances if not too great.

Our guess is that the movie, Gippi, should be good, at least not too bad. Though you should avoid it if you want to keep away from children/teens' problems. It's not expected to be a must watch, but if you're planning a movie, this could be a good option.

Re Kabira Maan Ja Lyrics Translation (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)

2013-05-03T09:37:00.002+05:30

Movie: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singers: Rekha Bharadwaj, Tochi Raina

Kabeera is one of the best songs of YJHD. The song is not just good with music, but the lyrics of the song are superb as well. Amitabh Bhattacharya has tried to do away with cliches like 'mitti ki sondhi khushboo' for a village and talks about the broken cot and milk cream, which are even more down to earth and true to village culture. He uses 'Nirmohee' [meaning given below] once again, after Coke Studio's Nirmohiya. So overall, a beautiful number to listen to.

Kaisee teri khudgarzee
Na dhoop chune na chhaanv
Kaisee teri khudgarzee
Kisi thaur tike na paanv

How's this selfishness of yours,
that you don't take the sun, nor take the shade..
How's this selfishness of yours,
that your feet don't stay anywhere..

Ban liyaa apnaa paighambar
Tar liyaa tu saat samandar
Phir bhee sookhaa mann ke andar
Kyoon reh gaya

You've tried being your own god,
and crossed all seven seas,
Still, there is a draught within your heart,
Why is it so..

Re Kabeera maan jaa
Re Fakeera maan jaa
Aa jaa tujh ko pukaaray teri parchhaaiyaan
Re Kabira maan jaa
Re Fakeera maan jaa
Kaisa tu hai nirmohee kaisaa harjaaiyaa

O Kabira, listen to me..
O saint, believe me..
Come, your shadows call you [back]..
O Kabira, listen to me..
O saintly one, believe me..
What a loveless and ruthless person you are..

[Nirmohee is someone who doesn't have any love nor hatred, for anyone or anything. Someone who is neutral to the world and its happenings.]

Tooti chaarpaai wo hi
Thandi purvaai rastaa dekhe
Doodhon ki malaayi wohi
Mitti ki suraahee rastaa dekhe..

That broken cot,
that cool breeze from the east, awaits you..
That milk cream
and the earthen pot of cold water await you..

[Suraahee is an earthen pot with a long neck and keeps water cool.]

Kaisi teri khudgarzi
Lab namak rame naa misree
Kaisi teri khudgarzi
Tujhe preet purani bisri..
Mast Maula, mast Kalandar
Tu hawa kaa ek bavandar
Bujh ke yoon andar hi andar
Kyun reh gaya..

How's this selfishness of yours,
Neither salt nor sugar fit on your tongue..
How's this selfishness of yours,
that you have forgot old love..
O free man, free spirit,
you're a storm of wind..
then why have you ended
within yourself only..

Re Kabira maan jaa
Re Faqeera maan jaa
Aa jaa tujh ko pukaaray teri parchhaaiyaan
Re Kabeera maan jaa
Re Fakeera maan jaa
Kaisa tu hai nirmohi kaisa harjaiyaa...

Dil Kagazi Mera Lyrics Translation (Gippi)

2013-04-28T10:15:00.002+05:30

Movie: Gippi
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics: Anvita Dutt Guptan
Singer: Neeti Mohan

Dil kaagazi is one of the best songs from Gippi, with some beautiful lyrics. Anvita Dutt, who writes regularly for Vishal-Shekhar, does some really good work here and manages to sound Gulzar-ish in parts. Dil Kaagzi, the phrase that is used for the heart, talks about the heart which is light, flies on the wind, and also crumple-able in a way.

Halkay say yoon beh rahaa
reshaa ho jaise ruyi kaa
Udtaa hai dekho kaheen aasmaan pe
dil kaagazee mera
Mutthi mein bhar bhar kay cheeni kay daanay
Jaise hawaa mein ghulay
Taaron se khainche hai roshan sitare,
raahon mein meri chale
Halke say yoon beh rahaa..

It's flowing slowly,
as if a strand of soft cotton,
see, it flies somewhere on the sky..
[it's generally aasmaan mein - in the sky, but here it's deliberately made 'on', in a poetic way]
my paper-like heart..
filling the fists with grains of sugar,
it seems to dissolve in the air,
It picks and draws the brightest from among the stars,
which walk on my path..
It's flowing, slowly..

Kholee chandaa ne chhatari
pedon ke peechhe kaheen
Hum-tum chhupke se jaa ke
baithenge neechay waheen
Chal phoonko se dhoop udaa kay
Hum thodaa saa din churaa ke
Aadha tu, aadha main tai kar ke rakh lein
Hissaa ho jaise khushee kaa

The moon opened an umbrella,
somwhere behind the trees..
You and me will go
and sit there only, in hiding..
Come, let's blow the sunshine away,
let's steal the day a little,
and share it - half for you and half for me..
As if it's out share of happiness..

Halke se yoon beh rahaa reshaa ho jaisay rooyi ka
Udtaa hai dekho kaheen aasmaan pe dil kaagzi mera..
Dil kaagazi mera..

Aadhee soyee aadhi jaagee
Din mein dhal gayee raatein
Baatein jaise meethay khaaray
Lamhon ki saugaatein..

Half slept and half awake,
the nights ended into days..
talks (happened) like gifts of
sweet and sour moments..

Pighlaa jo ye din is raushani mein
Milnay lagee hain sohbatein
Mere Rab ko mere yaaron ko
Mujh pay barsi duaaon ko
Dil se meraa khushamadeed

When the day melted in this light,
Friendships have begun to form..
I welcome my God, my friends,
and all the wishes poured upon me
from the heart.. I welcome them..

Sharbatee meethay meethay hain
Din ke ye paimaanay
Pichhlee raaton kay taane-baane
In mein ghul jaanay..
Maasoom koi ehsaas hai yeh
Dil ko milee hai barkatein

These drinks of the day are
sweet, syrupy..
In them, all the webs of last nights
will be dissolved..
It's an innocent feeling,
The heart has found blessings..

Meray rab ko meray yaaron ko
Mujh pe barsee duaaon ko
Dil se meraa, khushaamdeed..
Khushamdeed..

Dil ne ye baahein
Kholeen to jaanaa
Kitnee haseen hai raunakein..

When the heart opened these arms,
I (or it) understood, how beautiful these lights are..

Mere Rab ko mere yaaron ko
Mujhpe barsi duaaon ko

Man Bawra Maane na Lyrics Translation (Gippi)

2013-04-22T11:10:00.001+05:30

Movie: Gippi
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Singer: Shekhar Ravjiani

Man baawra man baavra maane naa maane naa
Meree yaadon ki khulee chaadarein gatharee baandhe naa
Meri daleelein kyoon naa maane
Usko yahaan koi manaane nahi aayega
Kaise sambhaloon man baawra man baawraa maane naa
Maane na..

My mad heart doesn't listen to me,
The open sheets of my heart don't want to be tied up..
Why does it not listen to my arguments..
Nobody will come here to placate him..
How do I console him, my mad heart doesn't listen..

Dil ka baksaa hai huaa khaali khaali
Itne jatan se rakhi khwaahishein thi
Phir bhi kyoon lagta hai ye bhaari bhaari
Ghamo se poora hai bharaa
Man meraa aisa hai dekho bholaa bhaala
Baitha hai khud pe hi ye lagaa ke taalaa
Kehta hai naa jaane kaise kho gayi chaabiyaan

The box of heart is empty..
I'd kept my wishes (in control) with so much effort,
still it feels so heavy,
as if filled fully with sorrows..
See, my heart is so simple and straightforward,
it says it doesn't know how the keys are lost..

Khwaab ne kar lee hai bahaalee
Ab to woh bhi tere sirhaane nahi aayegaa
Kaise sulaa doon man bawra man baawraa maane na..
Maane na..

The dream has restored itself (as in, decided)..
It'll not come to your pillow..
[Sirhaana in Hindi/Urdu is the side of bed where you put your head]

Meri yaadon kee khulee chaadarein gatharee baandhe na..

Tu Lut Ja Slowly Slowly Lyrics Translation (Go Goa Gone)

Movie: Go Goa Gone
Music: Sachin-Jigar
Lyrics: Priya Panchal
Singers: Jigar Saraiya, Talia Bentson

Aisaa naa kar, naa kar,
naa kar, naa kar
Naa kar mere yaar
De de laa kar, laa kar,
laa kar, laa kar,
Laa kar meray yaar
Aisa naa kar, naa kar,
naa kar, naa kar
Naa kar meray yaar
Hai tu hi meraa hope
Zaraa saa dope dilaa de meray yaar..

Don't do this,
don't, don't do this my friend..
Get me, get me,
Go and get me my friend..
Don't do this,
don't, don't do this my friend..
You alone are my hope,
Get me a little dope, O my friend..

Raat hai ek whore, hai maangay more
Tu lut jaa slowly slowly
Ghaas kaa kar jhol, tu kar lay roll
Magar betaa slowly slowly..
Raat hai ek whore, hai maange more
Tu lut jaa slowly slowly

The night is a whore, it asks for more,
get looted slowly..
Make a mix of weed, and roll it,
but boy, slowly..
The night is a whore, it asks for more,
get looted slowly..

Khoon slow hai, brain slow hai
Hai sabhee slow, dum slowly..
Haan milaa to, Mind hua blow
Lagi lagi, latt zubaan pe,
jab zubaan pe
I'm tripping tripping tripping now
Balaa Talee tab o jaan say, tab o jaan say
It's messing with my mind 'n' how

Blood is slow, brain is slow,
everything is slow, take the puff slowly..
When I got (a puff), the mind got blown..
When the addiction touched the tongue..
the problem taking over my life finally got away..

Earth pay reh kar, tu heaven par
Pahunch jaa slowly slowly

Even while staying on the earth,
reach the heavens slowly..

Raat hai ek whore, hai maangay more
Tu lut ja slowly slowly..
Ghaas ka kar jhol, tu kar lay roll
Magar betaa slowly slowly..

Bloody Khooni Monday Mera Khoon Choos Le Lyrics Translation

2013-04-19T17:30:00.002+05:30

Movie: Go Goa Gone
Music: Sachin-Jigar
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singers: Arjun Kanungo, Suraj Jagan, Priya Panchal

Ae le,
Phir aa gayaa tu, face uthaa kay
Dum legaa kya, meree jaan khaa kay
Khoon choosne tu aayaa khoon choosne
Bloody khoonee Monday
kyoon aaya khoon choosne

See,
You came again, like a shameless,
Will you satisfied only after killing me?
To suck my blood, You came to suck my blood..
Bloody killer Monday,
why have you come to suck my blood?

Tu jaa re jaa re jaa, kabootar jaa

You go, Oh go, O Pigeon go..
[reference to an old Bollywood song, Kabootar ja ja ja]

Main nai jaana, Main nai jaana
Main nai jaana bistar ko chhod ke
Khoon choos le tu meraa khoon choos le
Bloody khooni Monday tu chaahe.. choos le

I'll not go, I'll not go,
I'll not go leaving my bed..
Suck my blood, you suck my blood..
Bloody killer monday, even if you suck..

Maanaa teray naam mein hai 'mann' ek baar
To tu mann ki karegaa kyaa ray Monday
Kaahay paaye na qaraar
Jab tak tu naa yaar
Gaade Sunday ki kabar par jhanday

I agree there is a 'mann' [means heart] once,
but does that mean you'll do what your heart says?
Why don't you get peace
unless you hoist a flag on Sunday's grave?

Sukoon ke shikaaree Somvaar..

O peace-hunter Monday..

Sunday hai dildaar
De ke maiyya ka pyaar
Mujhe loriyaan gaa ke jo sulaaye
Par teraa hai vichaar
Ki main shankh hoon yaar
Poore power se mujh ko bajaaye

Sunday is one with a big heart
It gives me mother's love,
and sings lullabies to me, making me sleep,
but your thought is
that I am a trumpet,
and you play me with all your power..

Sukoon ke shikaari, somvaar..
Kaan khujaa naa, Kaan khujaa naa
Kaan khujaa naa ungli ghused ke
Khoon choos le tu mera khoon choos le
Bloody khoonee Monday
tu chaahe khoon choos lay

O peace-hunter Monday..
Don't scratch my ear,
with your finger pushed into it..
Suck my blood, you suck my blood..
Bloody killer Monday
Even if you suck my blood..

Chal jaa, chal jaa..

Now go, go away..

Censoring Lyrics: Laila Teri Le legi vs Tujhe Lut Legi

2013-04-19T14:49:00.002+05:30

It's a relatively new trend with songs, to make one uncensored version and then one censored version. Movies have always been edited as part of censor. Dialogs were changed. But making songs again, is new. And recently, it's got common. First with Jolly LLB's mere to L lag gaye which became mere to 'La' lag gaye, which actually changed nothing in the song, and remained as close to vulgarity as it was. Maybe it inched a bit closer to vulgarity, if anything.

And now there is Laila teri le legi. The lyrics were certainly abusive, even if using slang that's quite common nowadays. Here is some detail on the difference between the uncensored and the censored words. [Discretion is advised. Content may be inappropriate for certain ages.]

The words 'teri le legi' imply 'gaa*d le legi' which means 'will f**k you in the ass', though it's used as a slang for making someone helpless. The lyrics as such don't use any such WORD that is abusive, but the phrase, overall, is clearly abusive, and offensive.

Instead, the song now in its censored version goes like 'Laila tujhe lut legi', which itself is wrong, at least the way it's sung. It actually should have been Laila tujhe Loot/Luut legi, which would mean Laila will loot you. As such it seems to retain the meaning of the song, but then the alliteration effect that the lyricist had created here (and which looked good despite the vulgarity) is gone.

Babaji ki Booti Lyrics, Translation, Meanings (Go Goa Gone)

2013-04-18T21:13:00.000+05:30

Movie: Go Goa Gone
Music and singers: Sachin-Jigar
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya

Dude, le maar
Baba ji ki booti
Baaba ji ki booti la laa la laa...

Dude, take a puff,
this is Babaji's herb..
Babaji's weed..

[Babaji literally means grandfather, but is used to address old men with respect. It's also used to saints etc., and sometimes there may be opium/cannabis smokers among saints, somewhat like hippies, and here Babaji ki Booti means the saints' weed only.]

Jo bharee chillam bane hum hero
Life lagay film, samasyaa zero
Daaru - bandon ki gandee harkat
Bootee - upar waaley kee barkat
Babaaji ki bootee la la la la

As we fill chillum [a traditional pipe to smoke], we become heroes..
Life looks like a movie and problems come to an end..
Alcohol - it's a bad thing by guys.
Weed - that's God's blessing
babaji's weed, yay yay..

Let me take you to the Baba ji
Sukh kanchan baba ji, dukh bhanjan baba ji
Wonderful baba ji powerful baba ji
Booti-ful Babaji

Let me take you to Baba ji,
Babaji gives joy (pure) like Gold, Babaji ends all sorrow..
Babaji is wonderful and powerful..
babaji is beautiful [the word here also means has a lot of weed as it's booti-ful]

Ho agar kisi ladkee kaa chakkar
Ya ho boss teraa raavan kaa puttar
Booti - har duvidhaa kaa salution
Dhuaan - de frustration mein poshan
Babaji ki booti lala la la..
Babaji ki booti lala la la..

Whether there is a problem related to girl
or your boss is Raavan's son,
Weed - is the solution for every problem,
Smoke - It gives you nutrition in frustration..
Babaji's weed..

Wo dekh, wo kyaa hai? Panchhi hai kyaa?
Naa re paglay, plane
Arey dekh underwear baahar hai, Superman
Naa that is Babajee..
Babaaji ki bootee
Babaaji ki bootee

Look what's the that, is that a bird?
No madman, that's a plane..
Hey see his underwear is outside (the pants), it's a Superman
No, that's Babajee..
Babaji's weed...

Baba ji ki jai ho
Jai ho baba jee kee
Oonchaaiyon ko gehraaiyon mein leen kar deejiye
Aatmaa ke RAM se trauma ka spam clean kar deejiye
Yahaan ameer gareeb mein koi bhed nahi hai
Baaba ke seedhe prasaaran mein rukaavat to hai
Magar rukaawat ke liye saalaa koi khed nahi hai
Samasyaa ke middle finger pe
Samaadhaan ki angoothi - Baba jee kee booti
Baba ji kee booti
Baba ji I love you!

Hail babaji, hail him..
Make heights dissolve in depths,
Clean the Spam of trauma from the RAM of soul..
There is no difference in rich and poor here..
There are issues in the direct telecast of Baba,
But there is no apology for the issues..
[This refers to the time when Doordarshan, India's only TV network used to get stuck and the screen said 'Rukawat ke liye khed hai', meaning 'We apologise for the hindrance.']
On the middle finger of problem,
The ring of solution - Babaji's weed.
Babaji I love you!

Badtameez Meaning

2013-04-17T18:18:00.001+05:30

Bad-tameez is made up of bad-, or rather, bud- and tameez. Bud is Urdu for bad, and tameez is manners. And hence, badtameez, in Urdu, is a person who is ill-mannered, someone who is discourteous, uncivil, and in some cases, even vulgar.

However, bad manners in Urdu would be badtameezi, or bad-tameezee.

Ab Jo Mile Hain To Bas Ishq Ho Lyrics Translation (Mustafa Zahid)

2013-04-12T18:53:00.000+05:30

Movie: Shootout at Wadala
Music and Singer: Mustafa Zahid

Mehsoos khud ko tere binaa
maine kabhee kiyaa nahee
Tu kyaa jaane lamhaa koee
maine kabhee jiyaa nahee...
Ab jo mile hain to, shikve gile naa hon
Bas ishq ho, bas ishq ho..
Ab jo hanse hain to, aansoo koi naa ho,
Bas ishq ho, bas ishq ho..

I never felt myself existing,
before (I met) you..
How'd you know, any moment
I have never lived before..
Now that we've met, there shouldn't be complaints,
only love be there, only love be there..
now that we've smiled, there should be no tears..
only love be there, only love be there..

Ye junoon meraa mujhe le jaaye kahaan, kahaan..
Rab tujh mein ab paa rahaa hoon main yahaan, yahaan..
Ab jee loon teree hi aankhon mein ye jahaan, jahaan..
Tu gayaa to royaa tha sang mere aasmaan, aasmaan..

Now where would this passion take me, where..
Now I am finding my God in you here..
Now I should live this world in your eyes only.. this world..
When you left, even the sky cried with me.. Even the sky..

Yaadon mein rahaa tujh se ho kar main judaa
Ab tanhaa mujhe naa chhodnaa..
Khwaabon ne kahaa chehre se ab ye mere
Ye nazrein kabhee na modnaa..

I lived in memories, being away from you..
Now don't leave me alone..
Dreams said this to my face,
Now never turn these eyes away..

Ab jo mile hain to, shikve gile naa hon
Bas ishq ho, bas ishq ho..

Phir se kareeb aa, mere naseeb aa..
Hai ye duaa, hai ye duaa..
Dil ne mere kahaa teraa rahoon sadaa
Hai ye duaa, Hai ye duaa..

Come closer again, come, o my fate,
This is my wish, this is the wish..
My heart said I should be yours always,
This is the wish, this is the wish..

Ye junoon meraa mujhe le jaaye kahaan, kahaan..
Rab tujh mein ab paa rahaa hoon main yahaan, yahaan..
Ab jee loon teree hi aankhon mein ye jahaan, jahaan..
Tu gayaa to royaa tha sang mere aasmaan, aasmaan..

Balam Pichkari Lyrics, Translation (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)

2013-04-10T19:30:00.000+05:30

Movie: Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Shalmali Kholgade
Starcast: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin

Itna maza kyun aa raha hai
Tu ne hawaa mein bhaang milaaya
Duguna nashaa kyun ho rahaa hai
Aankhon se meethaa tu ne khilaayaa

Why am getting so much fun,
Have you mixed bhaang in the air..
why am getting double intoxication,
have you fed me sweets with your eyes?

[Bhaang is a kind of marijuana, consumed especially on the festival of Holi, also, it is believed that if you eat sweets with something that intoxicates, its effect increases, and hence the lines]

O teri malmal ki kurtee gulaabi ho gayi
Manchali chaal kaise nawaabi ho gayi

Your velvet shirt has turned pink,
and what a mad, royal walk you've got..

To..
Balam Pichkaari jo tu ne mujhe maari
To seedhee saadee chhoree sharaabi ho gayi
Haan jeans pehan ke jo tu ne maaraa thumkaa
To lattu padosan ki bhaabhi ho gayi

So,
O beloved, when you colored me with a water gun,
this simple straightforward girl got drunk..
When you danced wearing a pair of jeans,
even the relatives of neighbors got mashed on you..

kyun no vacancy ki hothon pe gaali hai
Jab ki tere dil kaa kamraa to khaali hai

Why is there a swear word of 'No Vacancy' on your lips
when the room of your heart is empty..

Mujh ko pataa hai re, kya chahataa hai tu
boli bhajan teri, neeyat qawaali hai
Zulmi ye haazir jawaabi ho gayi
Tu to har taale ki aaj chaabi ho gayi

I know what you want,
you speak (as nicely as) prayer, but your intention is (different as, crooked as) a qawali,
your quick wit has become torturous,
you've become a key to every lock today..

Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
To seedhi saadi chhori sharaabi ho gayi
Haan jeans pehan ke jo tu ne maaraa thumkaa
To lattu padosan ki bhaabhi ho gayi

Haan bole re zamaana, kharaabi ho gayi
bole re zamaanaa, kharaabi ho gayee..

Yes, the world says, it's all gone bad...
