First thing first, this is not a traditional Indian comedy!!! Mind It. It’s a spoof directed by Shashanka Ghosh (who is known for his quirky but less famous Waisa bhi hota hai part 2 )*and is being released in Hindi and English.
This movie is inspired by a famous Channel [V] character Quick Gun Murugun, who enters in an heroic clash that extents time and space, from a small South Indian village to an Indian heaven and then finally to a cosmopolitan Mumbai across 25 years to save vegetarianism. The music is by Sagar Desai (along with Raghu Dixit) and lyrics are by Ankur Tiwari (except Ek Tha Murugan by Shellee). To be true, I was never interested in the music of QGM, but after hearing it for the first time I am glued to it. Here is my take of this uproarious album
1.Dialogue mix: Album opens with Dialogue mix using witty dialogues from the movie starting with Karma bhoomi mera aangan, with a back ground trademark Tamil **kuthu music and hits one hard enough to make an impact. And through out the song you will be amazed how some amazingly inane lyrics and vivacious music can be combined to give this fulltoo time pass track.
This is supposed to be a promotional track as most of the dialogues featured in the songs are shown in trailer, be it trademark Come out I say or Remove your guns I say or Agar tu lightening hai, to main 250 volt current I say, Murugan to Gun powder Rascal, main sikhayega how to behave, Gun Powder replies Need not to worry abey gede, main correspondence se seekh loonga or Main tere pe Google kiya hai, Rice Plate Exclamation Mark!!. ** Listen it to believe it. This is gonna hit you hard I say.
2.Murugan Superstar is the next track that again glorifying QGM as a Tej nishaane baaj. Though this track also uses dialogues from the movie but this one is more hummable and supposedly it should be the introductory track for QGM which describes him as the only superstar who doesn’t have a wonder car but drives all the ladies wild and his character. This track is composed by Raghu Dixit and Ramina Reddy and sung by Raghu himself. This track is a perfect fusion of Indian music (use of Sitar and Carnatic vocals) with western one (brilliant Rap and beats) and brilliantly used South Indian words (as First beedi, Mothalle Sambar, Apparama Nee (sambhar first, after that you)and Rendu gun in his pocket) to gel with the mood of the song.
3.Mind it (Tamil Bhangra): Ever heard of Tamil Bhangra before??? Naaah!! Well this is possible only with QGM. This is will remind you of a perfect Indian mix veg where there is south Indian music on Bhangra tunes and a Punjabi singer crooning for A south Indian cowboy. Well this songs is again about QGM as a Dhoondhe na mile na aisa Namoona, jo ladies logo ko patata par us me hamesha fail, jiske saare funde hai ghatiya aur phaltu, who has well toned body just thoda phat re but he is still item sayana. Well this is not all it has even words like Apna pichwada bajao“Wink wink” along with Bhau bhau and meow meow. But beside Idli, Appam and Sambhar there is no Tamil in it (but yes, back ground music is there) and in the name of Bhangra our nassy Mika is there, but even after that this track works. Do remember to listen *Veena *after Mika’s voice.
Club Mix: Remixed by Club mix by Mc Bobkat and was totally not required as the parent was doing great.
4.Kyun keeda hai aapko: Next track kyun keeda hai aapko is surly one of the best songs I have heard this year. This is a chatty track with a classical Carnatic base with it. This track is crooned by Vijay Prakash (known for his classical singing capabilities and for his songs in Cheeni kum (Sooni Sooni), Swades(Pal Pal Hai Bhaari) and Jai ho) and talks about living the moment leaving worries behind. The main attractions of this song are the soulful rendition by Vijay, cynical yet side-splitting lyrics and classical jazz music by. You gonna sing it for some of your friends for sure chhode apna chirkut-pan..gootli chhodein khaye aam..aapse meri trahimaam. Awesome!!! Bak bak hai aapki sunli, Kis khet ki aap hain mooli, Tedhe sawaalon ke hain tedhe jawaab Miyaan na biwi raazi Phir bhi lage hain quaazi Itne asmanjaz mein hain kyun janaab
Ek tha Murugun: Next track Ek tha Murugun starts with the trademark cowboy guitar tune and then Vijay Prakash holds center stage to croon this track written by Shelle. This track is again about Murugun who is tried of being famous. This track has a peculiar retro feeling to it and Vijay’s raw and languid voice perfectly suits the song. Perfect mixture of Wild West and Indian curry. Hats off to Vijay Prakash and Desaipura get up videsi andar se full to desi, thodi milaavat confusion kya kahun main senti na ho jaau main, ek banaawatbas yahin hai
Chat Mangni Lover: How many times you come across a recent track that has a captivating old feel attached with it?? Not many na!! Now try Chat Mangni Lover. This retro ballad track has everything that is gong to leave you mesmerized, be it the feel of old music (raucous string sound, unusual piano sounds) funny lyrics with legendary sanskrit words and commonly used Hindi and English word or amazing singing by Vijay Prakash which compliments the song. And yeah do concentrate on lyrics; otherwise it will be Flaval at the place of Flower.
aa ha turant prakat ho na mere liye na shak maanasi kathin tan hai yeh
sanaka sehama mann hai tere liye hai yeh bhraham hai yeh bhraham preet yeh iski re
ho little flower be my loverbe my lover cute chat mangani pat byaah lover
Space Goddess remix: This one has a lounge touch with it and here Pratichee Mohapatra who joins Vijay Prakash behind the mike and music is rearranged by DJ Deep and DJ Chandu with perfect mix of dialogues and classical music and vocals. Awesome
*Aunties On The Dance Floor: this had extra beats attached to it at fast pace. Parent one was much better but this will force you to dance floor.
7. Kuchi Kuchi Twist: Not over with Chat mangni Lover, here comes the next retro track for you with a perfect mix of traditional and 1960’s music (with shrieking band and piano beats). This track is crooned by Vijay Prakash and Hamsika Iyer with characteristic southern accent and will surly rekindle the Eastman color romance on the screen where heroine lures the hero and yeah don’t forget to catch para para para through out the track and also don’t forget to catch the gender confusion at the end of song. After all its QGM, any thing is possible. Please…once again!
