Songs have always had such a magic in Bollywood films, which sometimes remains alive in the minds of the audience longer than the plot of the entire film. Many times it happens that we forget the name of the film or its story, but the tunes of its songs and their steps are remembered forever. One such explosive and energetic item song from the famous 2012 film 'Ishaqzaade', made under the Yash Raj banner, is still ruling the hearts of music lovers. This song, adorned with the magical voice of Shreya Ghoshal and the killer mujra-style dance of Gauhar Khan, is still considered a 'desi cult' in the industry.
Unique confluence of Nautanki and Mujra style of UP-Bihar
You must have heard many traditional Mujra and folklore style songs, but the song from the film 'Ishaqzaade' 'Jhalla Wallah' It was completely different from all these and was introduced in a new flavour. The music of this song was composed by famous musician Amit Trivedi in a very special style. Amit Trivedi fused the traditional nautanki, folk music and mujra tunes of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar with western and modern beats so beautifully that it became a new cult dance track in no time. At that time, this song was also compared to the superhit song 'Kajra Re' from the film 'Bunty Aur Babli'.
Shreya Ghoshal's bold and bubbly voice is amazing!
Singer Shreya Ghoshal is usually known for her melodious, soft and romantic singing, but through this song she presented a completely different and bold style of her singing to the world. The lyrics of this song written by Kausar Munir are very interesting and desi in nature. The lyricist has used interesting similes like 'atom bomb', 'pajama' and 'tight jeans' in it, which make one feel directly connected to the culture and language of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The more times this song is heard, the deeper its desi flavor becomes.
Gauhar Khan's hanging movements created a stir
In the film, this song was filmed on actress Gauahar Khan, who set the screen on fire with her amazing dance moves and expressions. Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra played lead roles in the film 'Ishaqzaade', while this special cameo of Gauhar Khan and her mujra-style dance became the USP of the film. Even today, unless this song is played in any DJ party, wedding ceremony or college festival in the country, the gathering is considered incomplete. Even after 14 years of its release, its popularity has not diminished even a bit and it remains an important part of the playlist of the youth even today.
