I went on a teensy bit of a shopping spree at Induna the other day--mostly to pick up copies of films I've already seen (albeit on my tiny little computer screen via Netflix) but also a couple of new titles to enjoy.
Rocket Singh, Dhoom 2, Love Aaj Kal, Dostana, Luck By Chance, Wake Up Sid, Road Movie, and Hum Tum aur Ghost
Rocket Singh, WUS, Luck By Chance, and Dostana are favorites of mine that I'm sure I'll be watching over and over again; Road, Movie is one I can't wait to see, especially since it features my lovely Abhay Deol. Love Aaj Kal I meant to pick up last year, since I have a hard time turning down anything starring Saif Ali Khan (with one exception: I'm looking at you, Race). Dhoom 2 is one of those films that, well, isn't great, but at the same time it's nice to have a good high-quality version of it lying around for days when I feel the need to watch "Dhoom Again" ten or twenty times in a row. And Hum, Tum aur Ghost comes via an excellent write-up by Filmigirl. I think it's only fitting, having actually met Boman Irani a couple of years ago, that I watch all of his work!!
I first heard this song a few months ago when the Love Aaj Kal soundtrack was reviewed on Love Bollywood. Since then I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I'm not much of a fan of the promotional video that goes along with it (Saif's dancing hasn't improved much since Dil Chahta Hai I'm afraid, though I hold the choreographer more to blame than him) and since Eros disabled embedding on their videos anyways, I thought I'd post this nice slideshow someone has put together on Youtube. Give the song a listen, I can't recommend it enough. It'll definitely get you dancing!
For those of you who, like me, learn a bulk of their Hindi through song lyrics, here they are. A few tricky spots but easy enough to learn. :)
kaddi te has bol ve, na jind saddi ron ve - (2)
tu aaja dil jaaniya, de kar meherbaaniya - (2)
aa saanu teri rod ve, na jind saddi ron ve
(mohabbat muskil bhaari, badi hi mast bimaari
you wanna let it goin on
mohabbaat lambi yaari, bina permit ke jaari
but getch u ride it on yeah, com on) - (2)
oh... dil ne dil mangana mangana, ishq mein rangna rangna
jite ji isane hai rab nu milaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ekko ek kahaani bas badale zamana
(aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun) - (2)
mohabbat dislan baaji, puraani hokar taaji
you never see it going on
mohabbat se rab raaji, dilon ki saude baaji
before you know it ur heart is sold
naino ne ladana ladana, panga bhi badhana badhana
jhadge mein naino ke yeh dil lut jaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ekko ek kahaani bas badale zamana
aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun
kaddi te....
kaddi te has bol ve, na jind saddi ron ve - (2)
nishaaniya na khoni hain, soni hai saanson mein pinori hai baate teri
hairaaniya halaton ki raaato ki teri mulakaato ki baato ki
baaton ne chalana chalana, raaton ne jagana jagana
jalake mohabbato mein phir jut jaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ekko ek kahaani bas badale zamana
(aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun) - (2)
kaddi te has bol ve, na jind saddi ron ve - (3)
