I am inspired by fellow MSians to write this review.
I also have a small list to contribute. I hope I dont get too many of those’ I havent seen all these dances, or never heard these songs, or who are all these heroes’ comments.
It happens so often with me, I somehow churn out some really forgettable bollywood products:)
Let me start with a dance which was supposed to be danced as if the dancer didnt know to dance, but in this case, the dancer really doesnt know how to dance, so when she tried to dance as if she doesnt know to dance, when she actually doesnt know to dance.the result was horrible.
Sir ghumgaya na? thats what happens when
*1. Kamariya lacke re, baabu zara bachke re. *
from the movie’Mela’ one terrible dance by Twinkle(no toes) Khanna.
She is wearing some obnoxious blue ghagra and pushed on stage by Aamir and his friend to break into an impromptu dance to save themselves from some villian.
See her vulgar gyrations and lack of grace. I dont know whom to blame, the choregrapher or Twinkle no toes here.
Beti ka zikar kiya .to ma ko kaise chod-du
Watch Dimple and Jaggu dada dancing to
*2. mere. pyaar mein. mere intezaar. mein. sach sach ko. tumne kya kiya.tan tan tandanta than-than - Kabhi bhula kabhi yaad kiya *
I dont know the name of the film. The same song sung by some nasal voice is again picturized on a gawky Karishma and long haired Rahul roy.where they go shaking their heads like a stork back and forth again.
ok, moving forward.what do you see when some sari clad women keep lifting their saris lead by an insanse Shakti kapoor whos pants keep falling once in while? Yes, yes. theek socha. our Govinda shakes a leg with his goggles on, and chewing pan
its none other than
*3. aa ee uu o, mera dil naa todu. *
Film -raja babu.
Again, vulgar hip movements, cheap jhatkas. and a song that cant be watched with family.
Hey. leave those people alone ok . vulgar songs always look bad. look at the non-vulgar songs now and be a little objective.
ok . what about this song. a no-makeup, fat and chinky Koirala with Sanjay Dutt the hunk(with his long brown hair and sleek glasses on a bike), wow this sounds good. must be a classic!
yes it is!
*4. o gori tu chali kahan -*
Film - Khauff .
Here manisha doesnt know to dance except to pout and strut and Sanju keeps shaking his hands and legs with a bunch of sideys, they try to make the song very different and techie but alas. its very badly done.
Enough enough of such dances, ek to aisa dance batao, which is functionally useful, which teaches you how to do something useful, say maybe a lesson on how to rub your back properly with a towel. something like that.
ok go for it then.see this choreographed number from the 60s -
*5. Roka kaiye baar, maine dil ke pasand ko.kya karu main apni nigaahon ki pasand ko.o jaane ja.tu hi mere pyaar ka bahar hai . ooooo *
Film - Mere sanam
Asha parekh(usually a good dancer) is waving her hands and legs in the air, without the fear of tearing her tight churidar and apna Bishwajeet gives her full support with a scarf. Most of the time he is trying to towel his back with the scarf and give Asha a good company.
I am sick of you for making fun of all songs. I am going to the doctor, I have backpain{:(
Here in the doc’s clinic, I get some self-help cures. I am shown a cassette with a song and asked to do just this to get rid of my perennial back pain.
*6. Tu hai ladki, main ho ladka. kooodu ku duku . .koodu ku doku *
film - BAL BRAMACHARI.
Two storks shaking their heads vigorously and Puru trying an ayurvedic remedy to cure all back pains and neck pains. Bless you puru, It really worked! I am free of my pain now.
Acha. you think you are some smarty trying to tease the not so popular guys like puru, himmat hai to pick a number done by a popular hero
Challening me, huh.? here you go
*7. Deewana Deewana, yeh dil tera deewana, .deewana, deewana .deewana. now screech the famous kavita screech. oooouuuuuuu oooo.aoaaooo. now again. Deewana Deewana. *
Film - Junk.oops. sorry sorry. Jung.
Ajay looks a perfect tapori, a human hanger to hang all possible scarfs, kerchiefs, sashes, dupattas and whereas rambha looks her stupid self. you have to watch this song to see how bad it is, I cant explain.
Ab bahut hua, you must tell me one more song of the old-gold era, dont keep making fun of the newbies
ok . Have you seen a buxom woman with small eyes, small hands but a big er. I hope you got it.she is wearing a lovely nightie and swinging and singing to herself, A perfectly lovely song. but such a bad picturization
*8. yeh sama.sama hai yeh pyaar. ka. kisi ke intezaar ka.dil na churale kahin mera.mausam bahar ka *
Film - Jab Jab phool khile
the older version of Raja -hindustani, .this beautiful piece is wasted on Nanda. She moves and sways her hips and body without any grace, not to mention the horrible facial expressions of being coy and romantic.
bas do aur. .then its over ok. comeon .think think.what else comes to your mind
ok, a foot tapping popular number, but badly done by **Draupadi*
Draupadi? are you out of your mind, what are you saying?
Haan I mean it, see this song
*9. Kaali teri choti hai, paranda tera laal ni. roop ki oo rani tu parande ko sambhal ni . *
Film - Bahaar aane tak
Here Sumeet Saigal(er. anyone listening.;) and our Rupa Ganguly break into a dance and make a mess. She is still under the skin of’panchali’ and refuses to bend her limbs. She just stands there -proud, egoistic and all wooden.
hurray.reached the end of this show. just one more to go. lemme think. hmmm ohh yes.this one
*10.bhor bhaye panghat pe *
Film- Satyam shivam sundaram.
What could have been a beautiful devotional song sung by a pious, fully-clad devotee in the temple was reduced to a skin-showing, lusty zeenat sitting in all the wrong angles and looking cheap.
I have nothing against her acting. Since this song was devotional one more than commercial one, I just wish Raj kapoor had covered her a little more than the rest of the movie(for the sake of this one song).
If anyone heard this at home and tried to drown into a sublime state of bhakti, there is a little chance that they are able to concentrate and able to completely ignore the choreography involved.
the last one is just a case of wrong picturization for the right song
- Well, here ends my list. comments most welcome -
