Mere Baap Pehle Aap (Released in 2008) - Trying to get Dad married - Can be missed, even though from Priyadarshan

It was a good cast, starring Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Genelia D'Souza and Shobhana, out of whom almost all are known for good performances. And Priyadarshan has made some good comedies in the past, so it was a bit surprising that one good into such a non-interesting movie. The concept can be pretty good, with a great father-son partnership, the father trying to get his son married to the beautiful girl, while the son is trying to get the father married off to the mother of the girl, who is also coincidentally his old girlfriend. Can be interesting, right ? Well, not quite. Modern comedies try to put a lot of different incidents into a movie, hoping that the series of gags or incidents eventually ensure that the audience likes the movie and feel satisfied.
Now to the reality of the movie - this movie attempts to get a bit serious, or so the story tries to do in between. And in between, there are some sort of gags - but imagine wasting such stars such as Om Puri (portrayed as a comic skirt-chaser - why did he take such a role?), Sobhana (restricted to wearing good sarees and sniffing or making faces), or even Paresh Rawal (who has played comic roles in a great way in movies such as Hungama, but who does not get any comic roles in this movie); you get the idea. Maybe the idea was to change their personas in the movie, different from how they are regularly portrayed; would have been appreciated if the movie had worked, but it did not. It did not earn much at the box office either. The movie has music by Vidyasagar and Tauseef Akhtar.




So what is the story about (spoiler alert) ? Well, there is this widower Janaradhan Wishvanbhar Rane (played by Paresh Rawal), he has 2 sons Chirag (Manoj Joshi) and Gaurav (played by Akshaye Khanna). Janardhan has played a good father to his sons, bringing them up in a good manner; and over a period of time, his son Gaurav has gone to become very protective of his father; to the effect that it seems that Gaurav is the father, not his father. He is extra protective because of the presence of his father's dear friend, Madhav Mathur (played by Om Puri). Madhav, in the search for a bride who is not yet over-the-hill, gets into regular escapades and Gaurav has to get them out of trouble.
Gaurav now gets in touch with a lady, an old college friend Sheekha Kapoor (played by Genelia D'Souza), who in turn is staying with her guardian Anuradha (played by Shobhana). When Gaurav and Sheekha see Janardhan and Anuradha meeting, it seems strained, and they find out that both were in an old relationship; with this, Gaurav changes his mind and decides that his father should get married to this old companion; it also seems to his father that Sheekha is an ideal bride for his son; and so it gets confused. Who gets married to whom ?

Krazzy 4 (released in 2008) - Starring Juhi Chawla, Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, Suresh Menon, Dia Mirza and Rajpal Yadav

Rakesh Roshan has produced and made many great movies over the past decades, but sometimes even a guy like him can slip up. You have to be somewhat crazy yourself to like such a movie, although there are some parts that make you laugh. The cast of characters are all great character actors, and that helps the movie somewhat, and the same with the concept, where they take 4 people who have been locked up in a hospital for various mental illnesses and the mess which ensues when they are outside the hospital, and how they help their doctor though all this, the same doctor who has been kidnapped right in front of them.
In order to get some more star power, the movie had guest appearances from some superstars and others - Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Rakhi Sawant.
The movie was directed by Jaideep Sen, with the story by Ashwni Dhir, making this a rare movie, a movie produced by Rakesh Roshan, and not directed by him. There was some controversy related to the music of the film, with music composer Ram Sampath filing a case that a couple of the songs were essentially copied from work that he had done, and finally the case was settled out of court (with the court however ordering the producers to delete these songs from the movie).




So what is the movie all about ? It is about these 4 patients of the mental hospital, all of them with different illnesses (although why all of them need to be admitted is not clear given their problems):
Raja - Gets very angry (explosively angry) - Played by Arshad Warsi
Gangadhar - Obsessed with the freedom struggle and has friendships with long dead freedom fighters - played by Rajpal Yadav
Dr. Mukherjee - Diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and a cleanliness freak - Played by Irrfan Khan
Daboo - A man capable of speaking, but has not done so for many years - Played by Suresh Menon
In addition to this, Juhi Chawla plays their married doctor who wants to take them out for a day to get them to see a cricket match between India and England, and who gets kidnapped right in front of one of them, as a part of a serious plot.
Dia Mirza plays the role of a journalist who was in love with Raja, but left him. She runs the news for a TV news channel.
Overall, the movie deals with the time when she takes them out of the hospital for the break, but when she leaves them in the van outside for some work, one of them steps out and sees her being kidnapped, and motivates the others to find her. They run into a whole host of issues but try and determine who has kidnapped her and why, and since they are inmates from a mental hospital, have to get her convinced when they tell her about the reasons why she was kidnapped.

One Two Three (released in 2008) - A comedy movie starring Tushar Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Esha Deol, Sameera Reddy, and others

When you make such a movie, you are doing an experiment hoping that enough people will like the jokes and make the movie earn more than the cost. So, one way of helping this process along is by having a host of characters in the movie (and with none of them being the mega stars who charge a whole host of money and decrease the chance of your movie becoming a hit); then you add in some jokes of all varieties (including jokes that are more adult - and this seems to work, with the very adult jokes full movie, Grand Masti, becoming a big hit this year, 2013). There are a number of movies that have come in with the concept of people getting mistaken for each other, and the resulting comedy capers. Add in the concept of all of them being in a confined space such as a hotel, and things get even more chaotic (for an example of how action inside a hotel can be converted into a massive comic scene - just watch the movie, De Dana Dan which had most of the sequence inside a hotel with chases and what-not inside the hotel itself).
One Two Three takes 3 different people - played by Tusshar Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty all in a hotel, all coming from very different backgrounds and with different personalities. So what brings them all together ? All of them have come to the same city, staying in the same hotel, and with the same name, Laxminarayan. And you can guess the rest of the confusion that erupts when they are all in the same hotel, especially when you have Dons also involved, and when one of them sells undergarments, you can understand where the adult humor comes in. Some of the other cast include Esha Deol, Sameera Reddy, Upen Patel, Neetu Chandra and Tanisha. A whole host of characters, but none of them are of the mega-star kind who would charge an arm and a leg, and who would throw a tantrum if you did not revolve the movie around them.




Tusshar is the poor guy from Mumbai, living with his widowed mother, with the ambition being to become more of a successful gangster, kill some people, make a name and then marry the daughter of another don. So, he comes to Pondicherry to kill another Don, on whom he has got a contract.
Suniel Shetty is a secretary, come to the city to buy a vintage car from a dealer (and who would not want to buy a car from a dealer such as Sameera Reddy).
Paresh Rawal is a dealer in undergarments, who has come to Pondicherry to meet up with a new supplier (Esha Deol). Both of these ladies have their own struggles, with both of them being under debt and desperate to strike the deals for which Suniel and Paresh have come to the city. And then Upen Patel and Tanisha are there in the auto showroom, but actually are doing diamonds, hiding in the car which Sameera is trying to sell. And of course, the police is also hunting for these diamonds. A sleeper movie (since not too many people remember the movie), but it made money and even though it is easy to dismiss as another of those crank comic capers, it did reasonably well.

Golmaal Returns - the extra suspicious wife and a murder (released in 2008)

When you get a successful film, there is a pressure to create a franchise, create more movies with the same set of actors and the director in the hope that viewers will also like this movie and make it successful. This has actually worked in many cases, with sequels of movies in Hollywood (Terminator, Pirates of the Carribean, Superman, Spiderman, etc) doing excellent business and providing riches to their creators. Of course there have been cases when the same success has not come to the next movie, but then there is no harm in trying. In the case of Bollywood, the concept of leveraging on the success of a previous movie is a pretty late one, only in the past decade that it has been seen. Golmaal indeed could be one of the first ones to make this a success, even though the sequels have no connection with the previous one in terms of story, but do have the same crew (director, and many actors and actresses being the same). Golmaal Returns was one such movie, which was released in 2008, in order to leverage the success of the earlier Golmaal (which was released in 2006).
Between the 2 movies, the director was the same (Rohit Shetty), and the main crew members were the same (Ajay Devgun, Tusshar Kapoor and Arshad Warsi). Sharman Joshi was no longer there in the sequel, and the heroine was also changed, with Kareena Kapoor brought in to enhance the star power, and some additional actors and actresses also brought in. The movie was a hit, even though critics were not particularly impressed by the movie - the humour in the original Golmaal seemed pretty genuine, while the humor in this one seemed a bit forced, written in to try and put more humour in the script, and leaving a slight jarring edge. But no matter, audiences loved it, and it was a hit. The songs were also liked, with the music being composed by Pritam, and one song 'Thar kar Le' being composed by Ashish Pandit (and the lyrics for the movie were by Sameer).
Now onto the story. I was not particularly fascinated by the story, since the attempt seemed to be to bring as many characters into the storyline and use some incredible coincidences to push the story forward. So, here goes (and if you have not seen the movie and want to keep your suspense, do not read ahead of this point).
Gopal (Devgun) and Ekta (Kareena Kapoor) are a couple with 2 siblings - Esha (Amrita Arora) is the sister of Gopal, and Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor, playing a mute) is the brother of Ekta. Ekta is an avid watcher of hindi serials (particularly the Balaji type serials) and is very suspicious of Gopal. Gopal keeps on warning her from time to time to not be so suspicious, since it would create problems for them.
Golmaal Returns - the extra suspicious wife and a murder (released in 2008)
Gopal works in a fishing company and has some periodic clashes with people in his company (not very serious though), especially when he believes that his colleague is instigating his wife against him. And then something happens which would cause the suspicion of Ekta to become reality. He is coming home from work, when he sees a girl being assaulted by some hoodlums and saves Meera (Celina Jaitley) from those goons. Unfortunately, due to some circumstances, they are forced to spend the night together on a yacht (although nothing happens between them).
Now, when Gopal reaches home the next morning, there is going to be trouble. Ekta, ever suspicious, wants to know where he was; Gopal obviously cannot tell her the truth, so he lies that he was with a friend of his. When Ekta pushes him for the name of the friend, Gopal comes up with a name 'Anthony Gonsalves', with a fictitious address. However, Ekta is very suspicious and sends of a letter to Anthony, and in the coincidence of a lifetime, there is actually a person called Anthony Gonsalves and an actual address and the letter is received.
One of Gopal's juniors, Laxam Prasad (Shreyas Talpade), who claims to be a great problem solver, then decides to take the place of Anthony to ensure that Ekta is not suspicious. Another coincidence, Laxman is also the boyfriend of Meera, and Meera has not told him about this incident. And then the big problem, where a dead man is found where Gopal had fought the goons, and this is the same person Gopal's office with whom he had a tiff. This brings inspector Madhav (played by Arshad Warsi) on the scene; Madhav is in love with Gopal's sister but has a running feud with Gopal and is incredibly happy that there is a chance for him to put Gopal in a difficult position.
Eventually, Madhav learns that Laxman is not Anthony, and when they tell him about Meera (and in the meantime, Ekta leaves Gopal when she learns that he told her a lie), he tells Gopal that he better bring Meera quickly to the station if he wants to save himself. Gopal and Laxam hire Munni to play the role of Meera, which she is willing to do for the money. However, her boyfriend, Vasuli, currently behind bars, is not happy at this. And then Munni is kidnapped by the murderer.
And then starts a whole trail of events to try and find Munni, in the meantime Vasuli kidnaps Meera since he wants his Munni back, and then finally Gopal learns that his boss was behind the murder since he was smuggling drugs under the guise of the fishing business, and his colleague was killed because he found out. After some more drama, there is a happy ending.

De Dana Dan (released in 2009) - A comedy starring Akshaya Kumar and Suniel Shetty

De Dana Dan was a comedy movie that was released in 2009. The movie was directed by the famous director, Priyadarshan (who had directed many other hit movies such as Hera Pheri, Hungama, Garam Masala, and many others). The movie starred the combination that last was seen in the 2006 Hera Pheri, namely Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal. In addition, the movie also starred as the female leads, Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy, and also starred Neha Dhupia, Chunky Pandey, Archana Puran Singh. The movie aims to be a comedy, with some amount of seriousness, the comedy being in the interactions between the characters, set in an overall situation where the main leads are in a poor financial condition and as a result, are unable to be with their loved ones. The music for the film was somewhat catchy with some of the numbers such as "Rishte Naate" and "Paisa Paisa" being remembered.
The movie was an above average earner, with the movie making a decent amount at the box office, both in India and abroad, thus increasing the reputation of Priyadarshan.






The movie is primarily about 2 poor male Indians in Singapore. Nitin (Akshay Kumar) and Ram (Suniel Shetty) are in a poor financial condition, and love 2 girls, Anjali (Katrina Kaif) and Manpreet (Sameera Reddy). Both of them are rich girls and whose parents are not agreeable to the idea of their daughters marrying poorly. Nitin works as the all-in-one servant to Archana Puran Singh who owns supermarket stores and who favors her dog Mulchand Ji, and there is a running tiff between Akshay and Mulchand Ji. Akshay's father owned a large debt to Archana Puran Singh and Akshaya is trying to pay off the debt by working like this, although he acknowledges that the debt will not be repaid so easily.
Ram in turn came to Singapore as an actor in Chinese films, but now works for a courier company. The movie runs through a mad-cap situation where the marriage of Manpreet is originally planned to the sun of Paresh Rawal (Chunky Pandey). Both Nitin and Ram decide to earn money by kidnapping Mulchand Ji, but the plot changes when the dog runs away, and then it is assumed that Nitin has been kidnapped. Paresh Rawal is a swindler who looks to this marriage as a way for his son to get a large sum of money. Neha Dhupia is a high class call girl, Shakti Kapoor is a person who has affairs behind his wife's back, and then there is an assassin also involved. The highlight of the movie is a madcap scene in the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore where the movie finally comes to a happy ending.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (released in 2009) - A comedy starring Katrina Kaif against Ranbir Kapoor

Rajkumar Santoshi used to make serious movies in an earlier avatar, and made movies such as Ghayal and Damini, powerful movies. However, he also made some incredible comedies such as Andaz Apna Apna, and this movie, "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", was another in those line of comedies. The movie starred a couple that seemed a bit strange, namely two young superstars in the form of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. The movie was a wacky comedy, which turned out to be a huge hit, being the third biggest hit on 2009 (difficult to compete with a movie such as 3 Idiots).
The movie starred the following: Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, and Upen Patel. The movie shows them as perfectly normal people, with Ranbir and Katrina both suffering from a stammer, which can make things difficult. It's Upen who is the super-rich, and who is also made to appear as a fool in the movie. The movie had some good music by Pritam Chakraborty, and was produced by Ramesh S Taurani. The movie did not show too many serious situations, and even the confrontations in the movie were handled in a light manner. The movie also won some favorable ratings from critics and got Ranbir a Filmfare award for Best Actor.






The movie showcased some great chemistry between the lead pair of Ranbeer and Katrina. The movie stars Ranbeer as Prem, a happy go lucky person, who is always ready to help others and who is the head of a Happy Club, one that tries to make others happy. He comes into contact with Katrina (Jenny) when he kidnaps her by mistake, and falls in love with her. However, he realizes that she is not for him, since she loves somebody else, the rich Upen Patel (Rahul), who is the son of a politician.
Even though his friends urge him otherwise, he decides to get them married to each other, with the complication being that Rahul's father does not want his son to get married to Katrina. And there is the funny mobster who wants to get money from Rahul's father and tries various schemes for the same. The rest of the movie is about resolving all this complication, and does Prem really get Jenny in the end ?

3 Idiots (released in 2009) - A superhit movie about a different kind of guy, starring Aamir Khan

3 Idiots was an incredibly successful movie, released with some hype, but which also turned out as a movie that was seemingly very different from the normal romance movies. The movie takes the story of an incredible student, who refused to be crushed by the normal pressure of college even when other students are buckling under the tremendous pressure, with even suicide seeming like an option for some of them. Further, handling the expectations of family is also a huge problem, especially when the family does not have resources of its own, and it is expected that the person be able to take a job that pays well (even when this can be a compromise with a career that a person would really like to do).
The movie was directed by Rajkumar Hirani (who had directed the Munnabhai series of movies earlier) and was produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The screenplay was by Abhijat Joshi, and Rajkumar Hirani, with a huge dollop of controversy over the book being based on Chetan Bhagat's "5 Point Someone". The movie starred Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Omi Vaidya, Mona Singh, Parikshit Sahni, and Javed Jaffrey. The music for the film was by Shantanu Moitra, and the movie won a series of awards at all the different awards that there were for 2010 (Star Screen Awards, Filmware Awards, Stardust Awards, and the IIFA awards).





The movie gets its strength from the challenge between the engineering college principal and the student who is a rebel, who thinks about things and refuses to accept things just by rote; and the student is so convinced about his beliefs that he can take on the principal and teachers where required.
There are 3 students who enter the famous Imperial College of Engineering in Delhi (run by the principal Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe (ViruS) (Boman Irani). The 3 students are: Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad "Rancho" (Aamir Khan), all from different backgounds, and with different aspirations. These 3 are to share a room. Rancho turns out to be a student very different from what Virus likes, since he keeps on asking questions. When another student, Joy Lobo, commits suicide due to the pressure, Rancho almost accused Virus of being responsible for this suicide.
Virus wants to break the associations of Rancho, and tries to convince Farhan and Raju to break free from Rancho since this would affect their career. On the other hand, the favorite student is Chatur, who does not ask inconvenient questions, and answers all the queries in class. Rancho causes huge problems to Chatur when he changes the words of a speech that Chatur has to make in front of all the students. Rancho also comes into contact with the daughter of Virus, Pia (Kareena Kapoor), when they break into a marriage, and it is that of the elder daughter of Virus.
The movie continues in this run, where Rancho surprised everybody by coming in first, whole Raju and Farhan are at the bottom of the class consistently. Things escalate in a drunken situation, when they urinate at the door of Virus, and Raju is forced to make a choice; and he decides to jump from the 3rd floor. What happens next ? Do they manage to graduate ? What happens between Virus and Rancho ? Watch this incredible movie.

Bombay to Goa (1972) - starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Aruna Irani and Mehmood, with some good music

Bombay to Goa is one of the earlier movies of Amitabh Bachchan, and hence, at those times, there were roles that were not written solely for him, but since he was a young and upcoming actor, the movie did showcase him; with the movie "Bombay to Goa" being meant to launch the brother of Mehmood, Anwar Ali, and also showcase the talent of Amitabh Bachchan.
The movie is mostly about a bus journey, taken by a young girl where she is seeking to escape the clutches of a man looking to kill her (he has already taken money from her and also killed his own partner for the same money). The bus journey provides her (and the viewers) with a lot of adventure, and also makes her more mature.
The movie was produced by NC Sippy and directed by S. Ramanathan; and stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, Aruna Irani and Mehmood. The music for the movie was given by R.D.Burman.



Mala's picture appears in a magazine, submitted by 2 friends of Mala (Sharma (Shatrughan Sinha), and Verma (Manmohan)); however her parents are very surprised and astonished to see these photos, and plan to marry her off to the son of their friend. However, Mala is certainly not ready to marry somebody whom she does not know and dreams of a film career. She does not understand the attitude of her parents, takes a lot of money from her parents without their knowing, and runs away from home.
She hands the money over to Sharma and Verma; and seeing this much money, their intention changes and they fight among themselves for the money, with Sharma killing Verma. Mala sees this, and is now running for her life from Sharma and tries to escape on a bus that is on the way to Goa. However, Sharma soon finds her and then enters Ravikumar (Amitabh Bachchan) who wants to save Mala. Eventually Mala starts to trust Ravikumar. The movie becomes very interesting due to the various assorted passengers on the bus, representing a cross section of people from all over India, with Mehmood playing the role of the conductor of the bus, and his brother, Anwar Ali, playing the driver Rajesh.

Lage Raho Munnabhai - continuation of the Munnabhai series

With the success of Munnabhai MBBS, it was clear that there would be a sequel, it was just waiting for the sequel to come. And so came the sequel in 2006, called Lage Raho Munnabhai (carry on Munnabhai). The movie starred the main set of 2 characters, Munnabhai (Sanjay Dutt) and his sidekick Circuit (Arshad Warsi). The movie showcases the story of a ruffian who becomes infused with Gandhian ideals (under the influence of the spirit of Gandhi), and tries to share the same with others around him, mixed with a Mumbai type way of speaking.
Sanjay Dutt is Munnabhai, a Mumbai don who indulges in the familiar show of force, and employs muscles to get his work done. He is also infatuated with a local radio jockey Janhavi (Vidya Balan) and wants to get to meet her. However, how to get a ruffian to meet a beautiful radio jockey is not easy to visualize, and then he hears of a contest where the first person to answer multiple questions asked by her gets to meet her. The contest is about answering questions on Mahatma Gandhi (Bapu), and this is where the mix with Gandhian ideology starts to happen.

Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006) starring Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi

How does a local hood answer questions about Mahatma Gandhi ? Well, he does this by kidnapping a group of professors by force, and then asking them to answer the questions (and of course, if a professor answers the question correctly, he would get a prize). So, Munnabhai gets the answers correctly, and being highly nervous, manages to make it to the radio station to meet his lady love. He presents himself as an expert in Gandhian ideology, and impresses her to the extent that she takes him with her to present a lecture on Gandhian philosophy to a community of senior citizens (after taking a massive crash course in Gandhian ideology). In this time period, Gandhi appears to him and offers to help him, as long as Munnabhai does everything that Gandhi asks him to do.
And so starts the experiment of a underworld don with Gandhi's spirits, in which he comes much closer to Janhavi and even hosts a radio problem along with her where he expounds the logic of Gandhian ideals and offers to solve the problems of people. And it is here that the movie is mesmerizing, bringing forth the ideals of Gandhi's truths in various stories; the story about the guy who loses his father's money in the stock market and is contemplating suicide, and who calls Munnabhai as a lost soul is incredible, heart moving. The solution is typically Gandhian.
The twist in the main plot is of course the builder Lucky Singh (Boman Irani) who wants to get the old people evicted from the house so that he can gift the house to his daughter's future father-in-law Kulbhushan Kharbanda. He employs Munnabhai and Circuit to get this done, and uses a time when Munnabhai has gone with Janhavi and the old folks to Goa, with circuit emptying the house (not knowing that this was something that Munnabhai would not have wanted). When Munnabhai gets back, he is shocked, but Lucky Singh is unwilling to give the house back. And so starts the attempt by Munnabhai to use Gandhian philosophy to force Lucky Singh to give the house back - in the midst of this, Munnabhai is forced to confront the truth and tell Janhavi all about himself and the truth (and of course she leaves him).
However, it is this Gandhigiri that allows Munnabhai to eventually win out and use the power of truth to solve his problems. The movie inspired a large number of people to adopt Gandhian practices to try to solve their problems.

Munnabhai MBBS - the beginning of Sanjay Dutt's redemption

Munnabhai MBBS (released in 2003) was a movie that gave a new lease of life to the career of Sanjay Dutt. His depiction of a hood / gangster with a heart of gold (it helped that they did not show almost any depiction of violence from his end) earned a lot of applause, and most viewers empathized with the character. Add in a humorous side-kick called circuit (played pretty well by Arshad Warsi), and you have a movie that did incredibly well, spawning multiple sequels (the released 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' and the yet-to-be-released 'Muhhabhai Chale America'). The movie was also very different from anything that had a Vidhu Vinod Chopra touch (he has always made intense, emotional movies); this could be because Chopra was not the director, the movie being directed by Rajkumar Hirani.

Munna Bhai MBBS starring Sanjay Dutt 2003

The movie won a fair number of awards in 2004, including Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie, and also won awards in the Zee film awards. The movie also won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film (something that is pretty important for a movie to get). The movie also was one of the last movies where the late Sunil Dutt played a role. Munnabhai MBBS core message is about caring for people, whether they be patients (including terminal ones), or they can be other people you come into contact with (including complete strangers).
It's about this local dada called Munna Bhai. He does not want his parents (Sunil Dutt and Rohini Hattangadi) to know the truth about him, and since his father had always wanted him to be a doctor, he keeps up the pretence of being a doctor. This pretence was successful till the time that Sunil Dutt met his old friend, J S Asthana (the dean of a medical college and hospital - Imperial Institute of Medical Sciences) and arranged the marriage between Sanjay Dutt and Asthana's daughter, chinki (Gracy Singh). Dr. Asthana finds out Sanjay Dutt's reality and rejects the marriage, while insulting Sunil Dutt. Sunil Dutt is very angry with Sanjay and leaves back for his village.
Now, Sanjay Dutt wants to become a doctor, and arranges to get top score in an entrance test through the forced help of Dr. Rustam Pavri (Kurush Deboo). He succeeds with top score, but does not know that this is the same college where his enemy, Dr. Asthna is the head. And thus begins the struggle between them, where Dr. Asthana is convinced that Munna (Murli Prasad Sharma) is there by fraud, and Murli wants to frustrate the Dean. In the midst of all this, he also gets attracted to the attractive Doctor Suman (who he does not know is Chinki).
The movie is very enjoyable, especially as you get to see how Sanjay spreads the magic of the 'Jaadu ki jhappi' (the loving hug), which removes anger, spreads the healing power of friendship and love, and gets more people getting charmed by him. However, in the end, Munna realizes that being a Doctor is a noble profession and he is not certainly a doctor and leaves the hospital, making Dr. Asthana happy. However, there is an element of magic when Munna is leaving, as the long supposed brain dead patient Anand (whom Munna used to specially care for) regains his powers of speech, inspiring Dr. Suman to criticize her father. In the end, Murli marries Dr. Suman, and also manages to convert Dr. Asthana.

Dekh Le (Sung by SUNIDHI CHAUHAN, ANU MALIK)

Yaar zara mahol bana
Har par main utha sadiyon ka maza
jo beet gaya so beet gaya
jo beetna hai vo hans ke bita

Yaar zara mahol bana
har pal main pee bas ek dawa
jee khol ke jee, jee jaan se jee
kuch kam hi sahi par shaan se jee

Dekh le
aakhon main aakhen daal
seekh le
har pal main jeena yaar
soch le
jeevan ke pal hain char
yaad rakh
marna hai ek baar
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

dekh le
aakhon main aakhein daal
seekh le

baiyaan
khushiyon ki thaam ke baiyaan
gam ki marod kalaiyaan
gam ka yaaron gam mat karna
chhod de ab to har pal marna
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

dekh le
aakhon main aakhen daal
seekh le
har pal main jeena yaar
soch le
jeevan ke pal hain char
yaad rakh
marna hai ek baar
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

baiyaan
saanson ki khudh pe daale
baiyaan
jeevan hai barf ki naiya
naiya pighle haule haule
chahe hans le chahe ro le
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

Dostana - Interesting movie

I consider Dostana a new age movie. Here is a movie that took a subject that arouses great controversies in India (remember the controversy about Fire?) and makes a comedy about it, if you ignore the last 30 minutes of drama. The movie is eminently watchable, and does not try to preach in any way. At the same time, since the concept of the movie is more about normal guys pretending to be homosexuals, the movie really does not dwell too much on the parts that tend to squeamish to straight people (there is hardly any hugging or other intimacy, or even romantic talk shown between the 2 leads), and hence the movie certainly will not be portrayed as a movie that can be seen as the coming of age of homosexual movies in Bollywood.
However, the movie treats homosexuality as perfectly normal, to the extent that normal, single (and easily sexed up guys - since the opening shot shows these 2 guys getting up from beds after having spent a night with women) and handsome guys decide to play gays in order to get a house. The other people in the movie do not seem to have any problem whatsoever with them, and even the Punjabi mother accepts the situation after the initial shock and ritually accepts the partner as her 'bahu'.


The movie starred three hot actors, Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, with the location set as Miami. Abhishek and John do not know each other, but run into each other a few times, most recently as when they are looking at the same house together. They are fascinated with the house that is available, but are told that they are not eligible since the young niece of the owner is already staying there, and 2 males in the same house will not be permissible. That is when they (with Abhishek taking the lead and John being more reluctant) decide to act as a gay couple. If they are a gay couple, then there is no problem, and they get the part. Things are going well, and they bond with the girl as well (and the scenes between them are fairly good).
There are circumstances in between, when one mother (Kiron Kher) turns up (since she receives a document confirming the gay relationship) and is horrified at the relationship her son is in, but she slowly accepts the relationship and is fine after that. There is an absolutely hilarious scene when Priyanka's boss (Boman Irani in a short but great role), who is quite obviously homosexual, comes for a party at her home (in fact, he is called since Priyanka wants to impress him in the hope that he will make her the boss before he leaves). He however, does not oblige, and makes Bobby Deol the new boss of the magazine.
Slowly, the duo finds that they are coming closer to her, while she is falling for Bobby Deol and he is falling for her. This is when the movie starts to lose its sheen; you start to see emotions being displayed and the story starts to stutter at this point. Maybe the actors were not really good for such a role. They plot as to how to separate these 2 (although there is one interesting situation whereby when Priyanka gets to know about their efforts, she suspects that these 2 are after Bobby Deol (not after her)). They eventually use Bobby's 5 year old son to plant differences and succeed in their plan (although Priyanka turns both of them down and kicks them out of the flat when they profess their love for her). In the end, they repent and try to bring them together.
Lot of skin show (including an item number by Shilpa Shetty), one great song (Maa Ka Ladla and maybe also Desigirl) and some good views of Miami. The movie is eminently watchable and worth buying and keeping. The movie is directed by Tarun Mansukhani, and produced by Karan Johar. Music is by Vishal-Shekhar.

Singh is King: Nothing to write home about

Singh is King made a major splash on the movie circuit. Akshay Kumar was acknowledged as a real hot item in the past few years, being credited for hits that he gave (Namastey London, Welcome, etc), and not being tarred with the flops (Tashan). He must be doing well enough that Shahrukh Khan must be getting sleepless nights. And then I read that Singh is King had a mega 3 day weekend rush, making more than most other movies that have been released in the past few years.
So, it was with some amount of anticipation that I went to watch this movie; and the reaction at the end of the movie was - another 'Welcome'. I must confess, I enjoyed 'Welcome' while watching it, but immediately after that I was thinking about why I enjoyed such a movie that did not have much of a story, depended on action, and was basically a senseless movie. Singh is Kinng is such a movie, made in the same genre.

Singh is Kinng - Another Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer

The movie was controversial because of the depiction of all the main characters as Sardars / Sikhs, and there was the usual objection from some sikh bodies, but that died down and the movie release went off without the problems that the Sunny starrer 'Jo Bole So Nihaal' did.
The movie starred Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Javed Jaffrey, and Sonu Sood. The direction was done by Anees Bazmee, and the movie was produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. Music was by Pritam and RDB (the song is Singh Is Kinng). Although Katrina Kaif was the heroine, there were a lot of scenes shot on Neha Dhupia, and she earned a lot of positive reviews. The music also did the job, with the title song being good, and the romantic 'Teri Ore' being superb.
The movie is all about the adventures of Happy Singh (Akshay), who is a simple guy, always ready to help people. The whole village in Punjab where Happy Singh lives is unhappy with another son of theirs, Lakhan "Lucky" Singh (Sonu Sood). He had gone to Australia, got jailed for a drug crime that he did not commit, and after coming out, he had taken revenge and eventually became the mafia overlord. Happy Singh volunteers to get him back to the village, and sets off along with a reluctant Om Puri (there are some comedy scenes between the two). They get into a boarding card mixup, and land up in Egypt instead of Australia. While waiting for the mistake to get corrected, Akshay runs into Katrina in Cairo, and after a few encounters (in which he discovers that she wants to get rid of all criminals), he falls head over heels for her.
Well, he eventually reaches Australia, only to find that Lucky Singh is not exactly eager to get back to his village. Wandering around, he runs into an India lady who takes care of him, and he starts treating her like a mother. In a big coincidence, one of many, Lucky Singh gets injured in a shootout and Happy Singh takes over as the leader of the gang. In another coincidence, Katrina turns out out to be the daughter of the lady who helped Akshay, and Akshay helps her out by pretending that she is still rich.
The rest of the movie is about how Akshay wins over all his detractors, faces many challenges including the fact that Katrina is about to be married off to somebody else, and so on. If you watch the opening scene where Sonu Sood catches a would-be-assassin by jumping off a building while wearing a parachute under his party jacket, catches the killer who is running away in a bike, and then the parachute and Sonu again climb in the air where Sony drops the killer, you can imagine how the rest of the movie would be like.

Kismet Connection: Too much chance / luck

I was watching Kismet Connection trying to see what would appeal to me. I did not go there expecting anything great, even though I like both Vidya Balan, and Shahid Kapur; however, in the end, if I summarize my view of the movie as something like this - my expectations were met (I did not expect anything great, and there was nothing great). In my view, the movie depended too heavily on the concept of Kismet / chance, and somehow overlook tuning the story to be more clearer. And the sheer wastage of Juhi Chawla in that stupid short role was criminal. Overall rating of the movie from 1-5 (with 5 being very good / excellent), just about touching 2. Yep, not a very good score, but justified. There was just nothing compelling about the story.

Kismet Connection starring Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan

The movie was by Aziz Mirza, and you expect the maker of a movie such as 'Yes Boss', 'Chalte Chalte' to make a much more compelling movie, and it starts in a nice manner. You have this guy, Raj Malhotra (I tend to think of Shahrukh Khan when I hear such a name) all young and dashing, struggling to make it good. He is a top architect from a good college, but is not able to make good for himself. And then he runs into this girl, Priya, who causes him more trouble; to the extent that they taunt each other when they meet again. He is bidding for a big contract from Sanjeev Gill (Om Puri, in a good mostly comic role along withe more comedy from his wife), but does not seem likely to get the contract.
And then he runs into this fortune-teller, Haseena Bano (a ghastly role by Juhi Chawla). Juhi plays as bubbly as ever, but somehow this role does not fit. She tells him that he needs a lucky charm, and it is around the corner, and he suddenly realizes that another confrontation with Priya actually saved him from getting painted, and that maybe she is his lucky charm. She is passionate about saving an old age place from the clutches of a property developer, which incidentally is the same one that Shahid is looking to get the contract for.
He wants on her his side, and manages to trick her into believing that he is on her side, so that she is with him when he has to do the contract negotiations. And you know what will happen after this - he will repent, she will get angry over his trickery, and then everything will be happy at the end. In the end, however, he is not able to win by himself, and needs the unexpected support of somebody else to get the situation to his side.
The movie was produced by Ramesh S Taurani, and was written by Sanjay Chel. The music was by Pritam. The narrator of the movie was by Shahrukh Khan (after all, Aziz Khan was a co-partner with him in a movie production company). The songs were the saving grace for the movie.

Ho Dhadkan badh gayi, badh gayi,
Ho saasen chadh gayi, chadh gayi,
Hassen ek ladki se,
Meri aaj nazar jo lad gayi..
[Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi]-2

[Girls can go crazy,
Boys can go crazy,
Tu bhi nachle baby,
Lets get now]-2
Bina dekhe kabhi mujhko pukare,
Karta hai mujhe chup chup ke ishare,
Arey dekhe kabhi kisi ke bahane se,
Koshisein bhi maine kar dekhi saari,
Is ladke se aaj haari mein to haari,
Isne to naa sikha darna zamane se,

Tu kis uljhan mein pad gayi,
Yeh kaisi baatein kar gayi tu,
Mohabbat kya wo mohabbat,
Jo duniya se dar gayi..
Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi
Common sing along with me now,
Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi

N tell my love story
Wud you do anything for me
Lagta hai mujhko tu chore
Because u stole my heart from me
Jaba jaba touch me slowly
Jaba jaba, put your hands on me
Jaba jaba just get closer
Jaba jaba chori chori

Khud se hi baaten karne lagi hu,
Teri hi khayalon se mein badhne lagi hu,
Anjaana ek dard hai seene mein,
Hoo hoo..
Jaane kaise kaise khwaab sajaun,
Jab jab kabhi tere paas mein aau,
Ab kuch naya khaas hai jeene mein,
Oh yeah…

Mohabbat mein tu pad gayi,
Tu ishq ki suli chad gayi,
Tere iqraar ko sun ke,
Khushi se aankhen bhar gayi..
Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi
Common sing along with me now,
Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi

Move your body now,
Shake your body now,
Balkha ke lehra ke,
Hit your body now,
Tujhe seene se mein apne laga lu,
Tujhe bahon mein chupa lu,
Come on closer to my body now..

ki Dhadkan badh gayi, badh gayi,
ki saasen chadh gayi, chadh gayi,
Hassen ek ladki se,
Meri aaj nazar jo lad gayi..

Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi
Common sing along with me now,
Sade naal kar le party,
Kudiye te lagdi hai naughty,
Feeki feeki raat ho gayi

Kahin Na Laage (Is this love)

Kissa tera, teri daastan,
Chehra tera khud kare bayan,
Kisi se pyaar tujhe ho gaya,
Tu maan jaa,
Haan maan jaa…

Kahin naa laage mann,
Kya hai yeh sunapan,
Ahaa..ahaaa..
Mujhe tum bata do,
Koi to wajah do,
Ahaa…ahaaa..
Har ghadi ab khayalon mein,
Keh raha hai koi,
Har ghadi mere khwabon mein,
Aa raha hai koi..
Is this love?
Maine naa jaana
Ahhaa..
Is this love?
Tu hi bata naa
Ahhaa..

Tune chuna ishq ka raasta,
Hum safar iss safar mein dudhta hai tu,
Haan baat yeh maan bhi le zara,
Tut kar ab kisi ko chahta hai tu,
Raat din meri needon mein,
Jag raha hai kio
Raat din meri aankhon mein,
Bass raha hai koi
Is this love?
Maine naa jaana..
Ahhaa..
Is this love?
Tu hi bata naa
Ahhaa..

I need you,
You need me,
You are with me
Is this feeling of love?
Inside our hearts..

Tune tera dil kisi ko diya,
Baat yeh sach hai gar tu maan le isse,
Dil ka sukun tune hi kho diya,
Ab haqeeqat hai yeh tu jaane le isse,
Aajkal meri chahon mein,
Dhal raha hai koi,
Aajkal meri saason mein,
Chal raha hai koi..
Is this love?
Maine naa jaana..
Ahhaa..
Is this love?
Tu hi bata naa
Ahhaa..

Kahi naa lage mann,
Kya hai yeh sunapan,
Ahaa..ahaaa..

Har ghadi ab khayalon mein,
Keh raha hai koi,
Har ghadi mere khwabon mein,
Aa raha hai koi..
Is this love?
Maine naa jaana
Ahhaa..
Is this love?
Tu hi bata naa
Ahhaa..

Jaane Tu .. Ya Jaane Na: A great movie

When me and the spouse were debating which movie to watch, I was thinking of Kismet Connection, and the spouse was thinking of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'; of course we watched the movie that the spouse wanted to watch. Well, I don't regret it one bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and I was still laughing 10 minutes after the movie even though it was already 1 AM in the morning when I came out of the movie hall. I was very impressed after watching this movie, and will recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a nice movie, full of comedy, with some great acting.
The movie was made under the banner of Aamir Khan, produced by Aamir and Mansoor Khan, and directed by Abbas Tyrewala; lyrics were also by Abbas, and the great music was by A R Rehman. The film introduced Aamir's nephew Imran Khan (Jai Singh Rathore) and also starred the pretty new Genelia D'Souza (Aditi Mahant) in lead roles. However, it was not only these, there were a host of other actors who played small and large roles, and were fairly significant in these roles: Karan Makhija (playing Rotlu), Nirav Mehta (Jiggy), Alishka Varde (Bombs), Pratik Babbar (brother of Genelia, Amit Mahant), Manjari Phadnis (Meghna, girlfriend of Imran for some time); and then you had the senior artists - Anuradha Patel, Jayant Kripalani (Aditi's parents), Ratna Pathak Shah (playing Jai's mother), Naseeruddin Shah (playing the deceased Amar Singh Rathore, Jai's father), Kitu Gidwani, Rajat Kapoor (Meghna's father), Arbaaz Khan (Bhaloo), Sohail Khan (Baghera), and Paresh Rawal as Inspector Waghmare.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)

This is a pretty huge cast, but the thing is, you got to feel that almost everybody got a role to play in making the movie what it was. Imraan and Genelia were playing the lead roles, but the entire supporting cast also had some good parts to play. Probably the least utilized were Kitu Gidwani and Rajat Kapoor, since they got maybe 5 minutes, but an artist like Ratna Pathak Shah got a great role.
The movie rolls around the story of Jai and Aditi, very good friends in college and their gang. It is told in the form of a flashback. Their college life is about to end, and everybody assumes that such good friends will want to spend their life together, being in love and all that. However, they vehemently deny all this, and decide that they will get each other a mate so that such impressions are shelved. Jai is a total non-fighting character, since his mother has raised him that way, telling him that his father was a total peace-loving person and that is how he must always be like (in reality, his father was a hard core aggressive person who died in a battle with a rival clan).
Aditi finds a person for Jai; finding Meghna in a bar where he saves her from 2 hooligans in the shape of Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. Meghna and Jai start becoming close to each other, and the inevitable had to happen. Aditi finds out that she did indeed love Jai, and starts feeling extremely jealous. Soon, Aditi is also introduced to her father's friend Sushant Modi, and they get engaged; Sushant is a much more impressive personality, and also very aggressive. He also has a whole line of old conquests. What happens to the relationship between Aditi and Jai, given that they are now involved with other people, and yet love each other.

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hain (Lyrics only)




Lyrics from the movie:

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai (sung by Runa Rizvi)

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha
Jaane Kaisi Kashish Hai, Jaane Kaisi Khalish Hai
Kyun Yeh Saans Thami Hai, Aankhon Mein Kyun Nami Hai
Hai Dosthi Humko Yakeen Tha, Hai Yeh Dosti Aur Kuch Bhi Nahin Tha
Hai Kaisa Dard Naya Sa Kyun Dil Lagtha Toota Toota Sa
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha

Oooo Hothi Thi Tujh Se Saka Har Din Ki
Teri Dopehar Se Shyam Ki Dhun Thi
Hothi Thi Raathein Teri Baathon Mein Khoye
Tere Khayalon Mein Jaage Aur Soye
Tu Jo Nahin To Kya Raha

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha
Jaane Kaisi Kashish Hai, Jaane Kaisi Khalish Hai
Kyun Yeh Saans Thami Hai, Aankhon Mein Kyun Nami Hai
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi (Sung by Rashid Ali)

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichad Jaaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Aise Me Koi Kaise Apne Aansuon Ko Behnay Se Roke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything'S Gonna Be Okay

Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Zindagi Me Rahi Na Khushi Aur Na Maza
Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Har Din Mushkil Aur Har Pal Ek Saza

Aise Me Koi Kaise Muskuraaye, Kaise Has De Khush Hoke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything'S Gonna Be Okay

Soch Zara Jan-E-Jaan Tujh Ko Hum Kitna Chahte Hain
Rotay Hain Hum Bhi Agar Tere Aankhon Me Aansun Aate Hain

Gaana Toh Aata Nahi Hai Magar Phir Bhi Hum Gaate Hain
Hey Aditi Maan Kabhi--Kabhi Saare Jahan Me Andhera Hota Hai

Lekin Raat Ke Baad Hi Toh Savera Hota Hai

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichar Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara
Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura

Tu Khush Hai Toh Lage Kay Jahan Main Chaiyi Hai Khushi
Sooraj Nikle Baadalon Se Aur Bantay Zindagi

Sun Toh Zara Madhosh Hawa--Tujhse Kehne Lagi
Ki Aditi Woh Jo Bichadte Hain Ik Na Ik Din Phir Mil Jate

Yeh Aditi Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Phool Phir Khil Jate Hain
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Who Bichad Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai
Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara -- 5X

Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura -- 5X

Nazren Milana Nazren Churana (Sung by Anupama Deshp,Naresh Iyer,)

Dil Kabhi Gandha, Kabhi Hai Nek Bandha
Dil Ka Bharosa Kaise Koi Karen
Dil Kabhi Tanda Kabhi Hai Atom Bomb Sa
Yeh Dhamaka Kaise Koi Sahe

Dil Ki Yahin Khatha Hai, Dil Ko Nahin Patha Hai
Dil Ki Yahin Khatha Hai, Dil Ko Nahin Patha Hai

Ki Woh Chaahtha Hai Kya
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana

Niyyath To Dil Ki Hamesha Hi Sahi Thi
Dil Ka Iradha Bhi Samjo Nek Tha
Kudrath Awaara To Kya Kare Bechaara
Uska Ho Jaaye Dil Jisko Dekhtha

Din Mein To Woh Sathaayein,
Raathon Mein Gul Jagaayein
Din Mein To Woh Sathaayein,
Raathon Mein Gul Jagaayein
Are Chaahtha Hai Kya

Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana

Aankhon Mein Koi Hai Basa Jaane Kyun Lage Yeh Dil Khaali
Jaan Lo Yeh Dil Bajaa Raha Kyun Ek Haath Se Taali
Hoton Se Jaane Kya Kaha Phir Bhi Dil Ki Baathein Hai Dil Mein
Yeh Raha Tera Humsafar Kis Ko Doonde Dil Ke Mehfhil Mein
Jaan Hai Phasi Ke Bina Hasin Aaye Hal Dil Pe

Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na, Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na, Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
