memsaab, then we'd have kids who could compose great 50s and 60s music.

Amrita, hmmm - that is worth a thought.

@ Aspi - yup, but that fit in much better with the movie. I heard it before I saw the promo and it vaguely reminded me of that song from Ocean's 12:

Anyway, I've been dreaming Mediterranean with this one. And it works very well for me.

I would marry Vishal B. and have his children.

My expectations of a Bollywood film are low and it must be said the ones that try to be original are the ones that disappoint me the most. But Anon, I'm hoping you will be wrong here.

2010-01-16T06:38:21.522-06:00

the songs are great but I think us expecting anything of the movie maybe too much. It is just a usual hindi movie, older guy first and then finds younger guy more compatible, after all its about love it can happen and then of course change its mind.

2010-01-15T23:59:18.636-06:00

ak, seriously we should all be paying more attention to Rahat than that warbler - you know who I'm talking about :)

Kanan, I get the feeling Gulzar is in a different league because he doesn't give a whit about what people think. He thinks in terms of the character and pretty much writes out his songs in their voice. So we have to see Naseer's character in Ishqiya and see if Gulzar hit a home run or not.

Amrita, the promo vid? The one in which Vidya Balan makes merry with both male leads? :)

I've been listening to this song on a constant loop for about a week now and I'm still madly in love with it. And the video is completely, absolutely, thoroughly different from what I have going on in my brain.

Damn, I love VB.

2010-01-15T22:32:07.007-06:00

Aspi, I really like this music a lot, and it's quite catchy! But I'm sorry to say some parts of the lyrics suck like from feeling playful "dil baccha" to right away "dil kameena". C'mon!

i just came back from a mini road trip wherein i compared ishqiya and omkara music. i think vishal gave better tunes for omkara, but gulzar gave a slight edge to ishqiya. love rfak's voice (been listening a lot to his pakistani pop stuff) - am amazed that such a divine voice has continued after nusrat.

great blog, aspi!

Naseerbahi is a treat in any medium. Waiting for this release eagerly! I was very interested to note that in a previous post you compared Vidya B to Shabana Azmi--and now the former is even on screen with Naseer!

Mind Rush, thanks for the LDB comment. :)

deep, I love your teddy's name. We need to know more about him. Maybe he can stop by and comment one of these days. Does he never lie?

i so hope ishqiya doesnt turn out to be one of those movies that looks good in the previews and sucks on screen. vishal b your reputation is at stake!!!

i agree with pitu, vishal is a cutie. he reminds me of my teddy bear yudhistir

Speaking of how everything is up to date: Mahatma Gandhi is now on twitter.

ahhhh LBD, was quite, not rush to get back to the blog each day and then follow up on the listening part. Movies used to come and go, kept up with the ones that stayed too long on TV Asia. Now everything is what they would call "upto date" or as said the rush of listening.

Can anyone remember LBD??? That would be Life Before Drift.
Thanks for introducing us to this awesome music! Loved the lyrics! Loved the interviews!Point to be noted---Naseer has completely "soofayed" hair so it was wierd to see him dark haired here.

Aww how cute is Vishal Bharadwaj? :)

Good counting, looks like you are good at math.
As for guitar, I thought I heard more of violin than guitar, but that could be just my untrained ears. And, also the vocals being drowned, now that I have heard the song for 20th time,in the first chorus of dil tu bachcha hai the drums are too load to drown the voice of Rahet Fateh ali.
Sliced either way, its a great song, done right and its hard not to 'blow my speakers out' on this one.
