"Daddy mujhse bola, Tu galati hai meri
Tujhpe Zindagani guilty hai meri
Saabun ki Shaqal mein, beta tu toh nikla keval jhaag
Jhaag jhaag..."
Tujhpe Zindagani guilty hai meri
Saabun ki Shaqal mein, beta tu toh nikla keval jhaag
Jhaag jhaag..."
How many of you have enjoyed this song ever since it hit the music scene? A lot, I'd be guessing, me being one of them. Lyrics like these, real world and earthy, have been as rare as diamonds in Bollywood. The scenario, however, is gradually changing - the music tastes of the masses and thus, the music created for them shifting bit by bit. Audiences around the country have become sick of the age old romantic songs with music that sounds the same all the time. It's looking for something new, somthing now. And with the Delhi Belly soundtrack, Ram Sampath has given it to them.
A composer, musician and producer by profession, Sampath has turned into something new with his latest album. Apart from singing the anchor track, Bhaag D.K. Bose (snippet above), he has played around with words in ways people couldn't even imagine (and the censor board almost couldn't certify). Using puns that would put Shakespeare to shame, he has carved out a niche with his lyrics.
And let's not forget the music here, which is equally stunning. Songs like 'Saigal Blues' and 'Nakkadwaley Disco' don't just have the lyrics, but the score high in their tunes as well ! Combining urban beats with desi rhythms has been mastered by Sampath in his tracks and is sure to leave a legacy, just as Bhaag D.K. Bose is attaining something of a cult status.
It's not that the movie has come as a sudden explosion of new music. As I've mentioned already, the change has been gradual. With movies like Ready, Yeh Saali Zindagi, Dum Maaro Dum etc. we are beginning to see a new genre of music emerging out of the ashes of the stale, monotonous garb that we're just not ready to accept anymore. New age music directors have been shifting the emphasis from sur and leh to innovation and attractiveness as the major elements in their music. I keep saying this - change is inevitable, and as long as it's not bad it will be accepted as good eventually. All I ask of them is to fill my ears with more music like this, and more !

Through these lyrics and the use of language it clearly shows that the abuses they use are just for letting out their frustation and just for humour. It is used in the real sense.. And that people should become broad minded and be able to laugh it off when someone abuses them for fun or the frustation part! What say buddy?that the abuses they use are just for letting out their frustation and just for humour. It is used in the real sense..
