Lately, I've been going through a lot of bollywood critic's videos on YouTube and one thing that most have is how, even people like R D Burman, copied western music.
Well, I was somewhat disappointed, but, is it really such a bad thing? After a few videos, I realized that most of the hits were copied. But, does it really matter? It's not like they ruined the original song, as a matter of fact, these songs might be popular only because our composers made it popular.
And the second thing that bugs me is, if 'kaho na kaho' 'pehli nazar mein' 'mehbooba' 'chura liya' and other older hits were all results of copied music, fine. It's still much much better than the music we have today.
And what do we have today? One wannabe Pitbull who "raps" about his to-do list, other Punjabi "singers" who were "inspired" by this guy "rapping" about things that make no sense, and only a few actually good songs.
If that's the result of Bollywood's "original" music, they should just stop trying. Go back to copying, we're much better at that.
Hating Bollywood music, yet loving music itself, I had no other option than surfing YouTube for international music (various genres) or even less popular, yet good, Indian music which wasn't associated with Bollywood.
I came across a lot of types, some were excellent, most songs of the genre were addictive. Some were just good, one or two songs were addictive. And some were completely out of my taste.
Not restricting myself to Indian music, I had a lot to talk to other music lovers from around the world. This brought many new songs to my attention, one of the songs being Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.
Well, when I first heard it, it was just noise to me. But after a month or so, I found it to be pretty addictive. I went on to listen to other songs of the same genre; dubstep.
Now, I was at a point where the usual rock was boring and mainstream. And, I wasn't that much into metal either, back then. So, dubstep was like my new favourite genre.
And so, it became all I ever heard. My phone and computer playlist was full of dubstep. I would stream dubstep mixes on YouTube, look for dubstep remixes of my old favourites etc.
My close friends, who share my hatred for Bollywood music, did listen to the dubstep tracks I recommended and would even find a new track and recommend it to me. But, the other friends or people around me were completely against this genre.
They thought it wasn't real music and that I was pretty crazy to listen to it most of the times. Being a dubstep fan, I still agree that it's not music, in my opinion at least. However, it is sound, and it is entertaining, which is what music is about, most of the times, so I saw no harm in saying it was my favourite genre.
It's been a few years since then, and their thoughts haven't changed.
What re? Why don't you listen to some real music?That's coming from someone who only listens to Yo Yo Honey Singh, Bollywood and a bit of One Direction.
So, naturally, I gave up on convincing my friends to listen to dubstep.
A few days ago, however, I saw this video while looking for dubstep.
And now, dubstep is the new cool. Everyone is listening to this song, saying it's awesome. Some have even tried other dubstep tracks, while some just stick to this one. I'm pretty sure there will be more dubstep songs in Bollywood in the movies to come, but, why is it that whatever Bollywood does is the trend in India?
Dubstep was widely used for ads and as EDM long before this song, all over the world, but, Indians never liked it. But, one movie uses it and suddenly, they're in love with it.
If tomorrow there's a song that supports male domination in society and raping, would that be considered 'cool'? Will that be the new trend?
There's this really annoying song in this movie, 'Aata majhi satalki'. It's based on the catchphrase in both movies, 'Aata majhi satakli' which the main character says when he becomes angry.
And the singer of this highly "incredible" song is none other than Yo Yo Honey Singh.
Fight-fight, fight like Bruce LeePlease, Bruce Lee was a legend. Bajirao Singham is a result of poor editing and a mixture of Bollywood and Tollywood. There's light years of difference between
Fight-fight, fight like Bruce Lee
Fight-fight, fight like Bruce Lee
Fight-fight, fight like Bruce Lee...
and
Mera solah (16) ka dola, chiaalis (46) ki chaatiEh, might be true. You never know what kind of drugs he can afford with a bollywood salary.
Seedhi baat bolun, baatein ghumani nahi aati
(Aata Majhi Satakli)
My bicep is sixteen (inches)
and the chest is forty six (inches)
I'm straightforward,
I don't know how to say things in a circular way
I am going mad now.
Jigra hai tigerThe writers were so desperate for a rhyme, they actually used the word sniper. I don't think a single Bollywood movie has ever portrayed a sniper. No, a sniper-like character in Bollywood movies is a guy with such inhumane aim and accuracy, that he can do the job of a sniper, with a 9mm, from twice as far.
Dimag se hyper
Aata majhi satakli
To goli maarun jaise sniper
Aata Majhi Satakli
My heart is that of tiger,
I've a short temper
When I go mad now,
I shoot like a sniper.
I am going mad now.
Kareena butts in by flattering Ajay but, of course, he shows no reaction.
Goli maare jaise sniper, yes!
Mera balma hai tiger, true!
Mera balma hai tiger, correct!
Arey very very hyper!
Aata Majhi Satakli
He shoots like a sniper, yes,
my beloved is a tiger, true.
my beloved is a tiger, correct.
Very very hyper.
Going mad now.
She says, he shoots like a sniper. Ah yes,
Ata maajhi satakli
mala raag yetoy..
I am going mad..
I am feeling mad..
Calm down bruh.
Ata maajhi satakliAlright.

Ata maajhi satakli

Let me make something clear. This is not a fucking hook/chorus. This is exactly like
and a million more shitty songs.
Majha mardaniraaya re
Yachi waghachi kaaya re
Bheet naahi konala re
Assa Marathi chaava re
Aata Majhi Satakli
My manly king..
his body is like a lion,
he's not afraid of anyone..
Such a Marathi stud he is..
In the entire movie, he spouts like 20 Marathi words, and he's a "Marathi stud". My NRI cousin speaks more Marathi than he does.
Angry young manI had heard of Hinglish, Minglish and Mindi. But this, this is diabolical.
Mi aahe majhashi lafda.. naay naay
Todun na taaken haat paay
When Aata Majhi Satakli
Bolo mujhe bye bye!
Angry young man,
If you fight with me,
I'll break your hands and legs..
When I go mad,
just say bye to me.
Another thing this "verse" tells us is that Yo Yo Honey Singh, like 90% of Indian students, is a parrot by profession. (Obviously, you can't call his singing/rapping professional) He doesn't understand a word of Marathi, and he just memorized these lines.
Aata Majhi Satakli -I'll just order a pizza and finish it till the beginning of the next "verse".
mala raag yetoy
So far, what we've understood is that,
1) Yo Yo Honey Singh himself doesn't know what he "raps" about.
2) Only job Kareena Kapoor has in this video is to make it slutty so that the video is still good enough even when the song is muted.
3) Ajay Devgan is worse than a PMS-ing teenager.
Slow down - mala raag yetoyHave you tried giving him chocolate? As far as I know, it works.
Calm down - mala raag yetoy
Slow down - mala raag yetoy
Calm down - Mala Raag Yetoy!
Ata Majhi Satakli
mala raag yetoy
Alright, I'm done with this song.
If you've been reading my posts till now, you should have understood that I don't particularly like Bollywood movies, songs etc. and there are a lot of things about the country itself that I don't like.
A lot of my friends, that like all these things, often tell me that I'm unpatriotic, or that I should be ashamed of calling myself Indian. Well, according to me, I just hate all these things because, I know we can do a lot better. Bollywood has capital and talent (to some extent) but most of the public has low expectations, so, they just do the bare minimum.
And it is true, I prefer foreign movies and music over Indian. And when I say foreign, I mean any country, not necessarily America or UK. I like watching the mainstream "superhero" movies (like any geek would) and I enjoy rock/metal music. There are some Indian bands that I like, but, they aren't as popular as Bollywood songs which is weird because they're a lot better.
Apart from that, I find foreign languages even more interesting. I haven't actually seen a movie that was in a foreign language, but I was a frequent Anime watcher. The same applies to music, I like listening to foreign songs.
So, when one of my friends (Bollywood fangirl) heard me talking shit about Bollywood music and it's weird lyrics, she pointed out that I listen to raps, Spanish pop, Reggaeton, dubstep and a bit of EDM, which is like the international version of Bollywood (less than talented people making money off of stereotypical young adults, staying in business no longer than 10 years)
Yeah, I do like EDM and dubstep, but that's just because it's addictive and a good kind of music to have in background while I'm gaming or solving math etc. But, she wouldn't let go because she knew the Spanish songs I listen to and the Bollywood music I look down upon have similar lyrics.
Well, here it is,
I like hearing/watching weird and funny shit that I don't understand.
But, it's true. When you listen to a song in a foreign language, you don't care about the lyrics, in your head, you're just laughing at how weird the language sounds like.
Don't deny it, we all think every other language other than the ones we speak sound weird and funny.
And that's exactly what I do, I just listen to the weird song, not caring about the lyrics, keeping up with the trash beats that are addictive and trying my best to sing along.
But, you can't do that with a Bollywood song. As soon as you start listening to one, you immediately figure out what the lyrics mean,
So, it's not unpatriotic to not like your country's entertainment, or preferring a different country's entertainment.
Another popular song nowadays is Lovely.
Main lovely ho gayiaan
Naam tera padh ke, naam tera padh ke
I've become lovely,
having read your name, having read your name.
She became lovely after having read someone's name...did she look like this before?
Cuz if that's true, I want to read this person's name too...
So, his home is a strip club.Ghar aaya mera sohna sajanGhar aaya mera... haaye sohna sajan
My beautiful beloved came home,
Oh, my beautiful beloved came home..
Ye jo bangle hai re laal colour ki
Tere liye hi khan-khan kar ke
In haathon mein naache jaaye re
Inhein nasha chadha hai tera
Tu ban ja aashiq mera
Tune chhua hai aise
Main kamli...
This bangle of red color that is there,We really should get tips from SRK.
it jingles for you,
and dances in these hands,
They have got your intoxication,
You become my lover..
You have touched me in such a way
that I have gone mad..
Pa-pa-paaya ankhaan 'ch kaajal
Mainu vekh ke ho gi o paagal
Photo khench autograph set
Instagram pe like kari jaave pic haaye
She's put kohl in her eyes, (for make up)So, whorish make-up. And, she's liking her own pics on instagram.
Looking at me she's gone mad
Having taken photo and autograph,
she keeps liking the pics on instagram.
Poora intezaam hai
Ye jo shaam hai
Kal subah tak tere naam hai
Aankhon se dil ye batlaaye re
Kal na hogi ye raatein
Kar le dil ki do baatein
Ik teri hi khaatir main pagli ho gayiaan
There is complete arrangement,
This evening that is there,
is for you till tomorrow morning..
This heart says with the eyes,
these nights won't be there tomorrow,
Let's talk with love a bit,
Just for you, I have gone mad..
The "No tomorrow" attitude again.
India, a country where
is banned but
is perfectly fine.
Altogether, it's a bad song, mostly because of the voice of the singer, a little because of the lyrics. Video is good though :)
I admit, I've never heard of this movie before but this song is pretty popular on the radio and TV.
In the video, Sonam Kapoor just dances like a retard in a pretty high-class party.
Darwaaze ko kundi maaro
Koi na bach ke jaane paaye
DJ ko samjha do,
music ghalti se bhi ruk na jaaye
Thaka thaka jo feel kare wo jaake dou RedBull gatak le
Aur jisko dance nahi karna
Woh jaake apni bhains charaye
Lock the doorsBesides using wrong Hindi at places, nothing is wrong here...oh wait,
No one should escape
Tell the DJ
The music must go on
Those who are tired, go drink RedBull
And those who don't dance
Go graze your buffalo
Aur jisko dance nahi karna
Woh jaake apni bhains charaye
I never dance on any occasion but I've never been told to graze a buffalo o.O
Bas aaj ki raat hai
Kal se wohi siyaape hain
It's just tonight's nightI don't know why every party song has this "last night on earth" attitude. I mean, everyone pretty much ends up regretting what they did that night because of that attitude...do they learn nothing? I remember reading that those who learn from their mistakes are fools, but those who learn from others' mistakes are wise...well, what of these scumbags who don't learn from their own mistakes?
It's mourning from tomorrow
Jee bhar ke naach lo
Na ghar waale na maape hain
Dance to your heart's contentSo, it's fine to make a complete fool of yourself in front of strangers but not in front of people you know...yeah, I agree with that for some reason.
No family or parents here
Yeh toh bas shuruaat hai
(Yeh toh bas shuruaat hai)
Arey abhi toh party shuru hui hai..
Arey abhi toh party shuru hui hai..
Yeh toh bas shuruaat hai
This is just the beginningOther than repeating the same lyrics again and again (because whoever enjoys listening to this is clearly retarded enough to not understand it the first time) these words are based on the cliché dialogue "Yeh toh bas trailer hai, picture abhi baki hai" hence proving that Bollywood is based on repetition of the same old stuff, with new actors and worse scripts.
(This is just the beginning)
The party's just started
The party's just started
This is just the beginning
Baad mein na kehna kuch bhi
Pehle hi de doon warning
Party chalegi till six in the morning
Don't say anything later
I'll give you a warning right now
The party will go on till six in the morning
Yes, party till six. The law says you can't have loud music playing after 10 PM and they're going to party till six. Bollywood is sending a good message to the youth listening to this.
Jee bhar ke naach le baby
Naach naach ke tod de sandal
Dance to your heart's content babyI don't anyone, including guys, wears sandals to a party. You'd have to be a pretty lazy and ignorant idiot to under-dress so much.
Dance and dance till you break your sandal
Aunty police bula legi to
Yaar tera kar lega handle
If aunty calls the policeAnother good message to all the girls listening to this song. "You can fuck up as much as you want, your boyfriend is there to patch it all up."
Your man will handle the situation
Jisko apni jaan pyaari
Chup-chaap wo floor pe aaye
Floor pe aake naache gaaye
Who hold their lives dear...so now they're threatening to get on the dance floor. Just to show you how wrong this sounds, this is the general crowd at this party
Get on the dance floor
Dance or sing on the floor
Sharm ko kar de bye bye
Michael Jackson waale
Do teen action karke dikhaye
Say bye bye to shynessI'm not a fan of MJ but please don't disrespect him by including him in your crappy song. This is the same as LMFAO using Led Zeppelin in their song.
Show us two or three
Michael Jackson's steps
Party karni hai (ho!)
Hum party karenge (ho!)
We want to party (yes!)
Then we'll party (yes!)
Yes. "We do whatever the hell we want!" another good message. And then adults get mad at kids when they
- Backtalk to them
- Cause mischief
- Cheat in exams
- Bunk classes
- List goes on...
The video starts with "You are never to old to play with Baby Doll" So apparently, Sunny Leone is baby doll, and you are never to old to 'play' with her. People that admire this song and video are the same people that like pages like 'Women are not objects' on Facebook.
It's just entertainment but that's a pretty sensitive issue in India, not to be toyed with.
Sone sone patole lakhaan
Sone sone patole yeah...
Ae takdiyaan rehndiyaan aankhaan
Ae takdiyaan rehndiyaan..
There are hundreds of thousands of beautiful girls,So, the singer here has a harem of many girls and he keeps watching. Yet another 'women = objects' scenario and I bet this singer supports the feminists.
So many beautiful girls,
These eyes keep watching,
They keep watching.
Yo soniyo, she put up a showSoniyo means beautiful girl, rest is understood.
Unless I’m impress, Baby I gotta go
I won’t mind tell you that I take your floor
But tonight no bites
Cause the wife will know
So, again, he expects her to entertain him, or he's leaving. And then he says no biting tonight or his wife will find out.
Main ki dassaan apni ve
Ae chan karda hai tareefa
Ho mere husn de kone.. kone kone di
Ho kone kone di..
O Baby doll mai sone di
O Baby doll main sone di
What do I tell about myself,The world keeps praising every nook and corner of her beauty, of her every nook and corner.
this world keeps praising -
every nook and corner of my beauty..
of my every nook and corner..
I am a golden baby doll..
I am a golden baby doll..
Well, most of the people have seen 'every nook and corner' of her so, no surprise there.
Ye duniya, ye duniya pittal di
Ye duniya pittal di..
Ho babydoll main sone di..
This is a world of brassShe feels superior because she's beautiful...
And I'm a baby doll of gold
What she doesn't know is, all the others who have achieved something will forever have it. Her beauty will be stale in the next decade or so.
Chamka chamka meriyaan
Main cham cham karke chamka
Laava Zandu Balm ji nachde
Nachde paijan damkaan
My brightness shines,It's her superiority complex again. She wants him to apply balm on her feet to make them shine.
I shine with shining.
Get me Zandu balm,
while dancing, my anklets shine..
Mere hi charche
Meriyaan hi gallaan
Jag sara karda ni baar baar ve
My discussions,
my talks alone,
this world is keeping on doing repeatedly..
More of her superiority. Someone needs to take her down a notch.
Khul jaavan sadkeSHE'S GOING TO FEEL SHY? SHE ROAMS AROUND HALF NAKED FOR THE WHOLE VIDEO BUT SHE'S GOING TO FEEl SHY IF HE KISSES HER
Chum lende vadh ke
Main taan sharmavaan haay baar baar ve
I'll open
if you come ahead and kiss me,
I feel shy, again and again..
So, throughout the song, she first tells the crowd that she's a toy that anyone can play with. And even the male singer says she's just an object.
But then suddenly, she's the only thing that matters. Everyone else is brass and she's gold. Even the male singer agrees to do what she wants.
This is not a plot twist, it's poor song writing. And of course, it's a punjabi song. I swear, 50% of Bollywood music today is Punjabi. We know who to blame for that, and hate post incoming.
Since I started ranting about bollywood, I decided to go for bollywood music as well.
Today's song:
Oh yay...this couple again. Looks like all the stupidity jokes weren't enough for her to quit acting. Well, let's hope that they do the trick before her next movie.
I'm not going to bother discussing what's wrong with the video...I'm not that jobless, but let's start with the lyrics.
Woo..!Okay...another Punjabi song. Well, I looked it up and the translation is somewhat
Pehla ta kudi ne Ludhiana vi ni tappeya si
Tappeya si..
Pehla ta kudi ne Ludhiana vi ni tappeya
Puchhe bina gharo baahr per vi ni rakheya
Jado di madam ji shehar vich aai
Bas party diya galla kar di rehndi eh
Kudi Saturday Saturday kardi rendi eh
Kudi Saturday Saturday kardi rendi eh
The girl hadn’t even gone outside Ludhiana before thisSo basically, she used to be a good kid back when she was in Ludhiana (a city in Northern India) then she came to the city for college and became a party hoe.
The girl hadn’t even gone outside Ludhiana before this
She wouldn’t even put a step outside her home without asking elders/parents
But since the girl/madam has come to the city
She only talks about parties
The girl keeps on talking about Saturday
Saturday SaturdayStupid chorus.
Kudi Saturday Saturday
Kudi Saturday Saturday
Kudi Saturday Saturday
Kudi Saturday Saturday
Hanji fir ek baar dekho aaya shanivaar
Party karne ke liye baby ji ho gayi taiyyar
Look, it's saturday againSo, yeah, like established earlier, she's a party hoe and only looks forward to saturdays.
Baby's ready to start partying
Sarojni ke kapde pehen ke jaati madam disco
VIP me complimentary shots bhi de do isko
She goes to the disco wearing Sarojni's clothes...does she even know who Sarojini is? Or what kind of clothes she wore?
Give her complimentary shots in the VIP

If you're going to make a dumb song, at least don't disrespect one of India's most respected women.
Isko gaadi chahiye lambi
Usme music chahiye LOUD
She wants a car that's longAre we really sure it's a long car that she wants? Cuz, given her reputation and the flow of this song...it could be something else...
And it must have music that's loud
Ye jaati mehenge club me
Jahaan hota dhang ka CROWD
She goes to an expensive clubWell, obviously, you go to a cheap club wearing clothes like that, you're gonna end up as the headline of next day's newspaper...and not in a good way. And, she wants a good crowd...figures...
Where there's a certain crowd
Ludhiyane se aai ladki university padhti hai
Kehti to hai student hai, But I DOUBT!
The girl from Ludhiana goes to universityWhole movie revolves around the fact that they're in the same university (or something) and this is what the song has. Hence proving, the song writers have nothing to do with the movie. They suck separately.
She says she's a student, but I doubt!
Mundeya de palle vi tu chadeya ni kakh
Jado Sunday Monday kare tera jhutte khanda lakk
You have left the boys with nothingSo, boys that go after her are now broke...she's also a gold digger.
Your waist swings right to left while you walk
Aati Honda mein, Audi mein jati tu khisak
Suck.. suck.. Baby What the F***
She comes in a Honda, leaves in an AudiShe comes in a shitty car and leaves with some rich guy's Audi cuz gold digger. And.. was that censor really required...?
Suck.. suck.. baby what the f***
Apart from that, the song is pretty similar, describing a party girl who gets everyone's attention because of her clothes and behaviour.
P.S: 1) If that video was posted on Redtube, it wouldn't be removed.
2) She wears more sets of clothes in a 3 minute video than I do in an entire week
3) Yes, this is like a Hindi Musical Autopsy, let me know if I should continue doing this.
