Day 17 of 30

I decided what i was going to write for my blog, when i was driving back from work and the local Indian radio was playing the hawa hawa song from the movie rockstar and these words from the song, are my favorite...these are just two lines
'Aazadi de de mujhe mere khuda
Le le tu daulat aur kar de riha'
and these two lines embodies wisdom present in a 100o pages back...how beautiful.


When D was playing the songs when the music was released, in the first listen i dint really like the songs, but thanks to D, the songs were getting played all the time, and i liked 'Sadda Haq' ,then 'Kun Fayaa' and then 'nadaan parindey' and what do i say, i even liked 'katiya karoon'.

Music of this movie is the perfect combination of beautiful words and ear pleasing music. I am not a big ARR fan, in my opinion he uses too much technical sound, but who am i to comment, i cant even sing a sentence in tune.But as a listener, i am entitled to my opinion i suppose. In this movie, the lyrics were not drowned in the music, they were used in accompaniment of the music, which i really liked.


The reason , most songs become all time favorites, is not just the music, also the lyrics, this new guy Irshad Kamil is too good, he is blessed by Goddess Saraswathi..some of the lyrics, are so deep with so much meaning, its amazing, like these lines from the song 'Kun Fayaa'

'Araj tujhe kar de mujhe
Mujhse hi riha'
- wow, if someone had to explain this one line, they will need days.A plea to the lord to free oneself from oneself, now go figure what that means.

and these one's from the same song
'Jab kahin pe kuch nahin bhi nahin tha
Wahi tha wahi tha wahi tha wahi tha'

It takes a lot to come up with words like that..I am glad he was the lyricist and these wonderful songs are here for us to listen and enjoy and also try to understand the depth of these seemingly simple words.

I am not sure, if this movie was a hit, but a lot of people who i know saw, dint like it. I liked it and did not see anything not to be liked, had a good story, power packed performance by Ranbir, amazing music,well..the actress...she dint have much acting to do, she was passable, cant expect her to act like smitha patil in her movie..Talking about Ranbir...this guy has it in him..very versatile, is smart in making choices of his movies and his dedication towards each role he does shows. His personal life makes lot of news, but who cares, he's an actor and damn good at it.

A friend of mine said, oh i wasted money on this movie...all it had was pain..well, ending was painful, but it was not painful all along, but the ending was so powerful, it stayed in the minds of audience and all the happy parts kinda lost their glory in gloom.I personally think, its not waste of money, if we spend money to watch mindless comedies to laugh and relax, we must also once in a while encourage movies that are well done, else, people will stop making them.

so, people..now that Rockstar is not in theater's get the DVD and watch it, pay attention to the lyrics this time and enjoy.
