Sonakshi Sinha adds a Punjabi Twist to Helen's Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu for Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
It looks like Sonakshi Sinha is truly one 'Happy' girl. The actress, who stars in the sequel to 2016's semi-hit 'Happy Bhag Jayegi', is cooking up a fun concoction of Punjabi meets China town in a special track from the film. And guess what? She has lent her voice for the song too!
China and it's various aspects play a crucial role in the sequel - Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi. With a distinctly oriental flavour attached to the adventures of it's crazy and happy characters, the film features many Chinese elements such as it's language, culture, clothing, locales and even characters based in the country. Hence, the makers decided to look back at one of the most unforgettable Bollywood dance numbers, inspired by Chinese elements. However, that's not without adding their own fun twist. Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi will feature the iconic ' Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu', originally shot on Helen and sung by Geeta Dutt for the 1958 hit - Howrah Bridge.
The recreated version includes Punjabi lyrics and a more pumped up melody, blended together with popular lyrics from the original song. The track has been recreated by Sohail Sen, with lyrics and rap by Mudassar Aziz [who has also directed the film]. Jassie Gill and Sinha, who play lead roles in the film, have sung the male and female parts respectively. The song was launched across social media platforms earlier today. It features Sinha sporting a rather cute hairdo, dancing around a club, grooving to some crazy steps, along with other cast members - including Gill, Jimmy Sheirgill, Piyush Mishra among others. All this, while trying to save her life from some local goons!

"It is indeed a privilege to dance on a song featuring Helen Aunty. She is a class apart. So, I cannot even think of copying her. All I did was enjoy myself to one of the peppiest songs from the golden era. I love how Mudassar & Sohail Sen have added Punjabi tadka to the song, thus making it a very happy go lucky track,’ stated Sinha, who plays the lead protagonist - Happy, in the film.
Presented by Eros International and Aanand L Rai, A Colour Yellow Production produced by Aanand L Rai & Krishika Lulla, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi releases on August 24, 2018.

Shahid Kapoor to groove on Prabhudheva's hit dance track - Urvashi Urvashi
After playing 'Raja Rawal Ratan Singh' in the historical drama Padmaavat earlier this year, Shahid Kapoor is back with a bang. The actor, who is gearing up for the release of his next film Batti Gul Meter Chalu, has been busy burning the dance floor in suburban Mumbai studios for a special project. It is now confirmed that he is all set to feature in a very exciting single, that is being produced Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.
Remember the chartbuster - 'Urvashi Urvashi' featuring Prabhudheva, where the actor was seen showcasing some insane moves? An entire generation grew up listening to and dancing on this popular track. The song from Prabhudheva - Nagma's Tamil film Kadhalan [also released in 1994 as 'Humse hai Muqabala' in Hindi] is all set to be recreated with a twist. And this time, the audience will be treated to some kickass moves by Kapoor. The actor has already stepped into the shoes of dance icon Prabhudheva for the song, and was rigorously rehearsing with choreographer Sanjay Shetty's team since a few weeks. The video was shot by director Gifty in Mumbai this week.
Interestingly, the song has been recreated by popular music producer Yo Yo Honey Singh, and has been sung, written and composed by him. Actress Kiara Advani will feature alongside Kapoor in the track. "We’ve changed the lyrics, but the hook line remains the same. The song does not showcase a love story, but a new-age relationship between Shahid and Kiara. Even the choreography is contemporary. We are shooting on a club set in Film City. Earlier this week, we had also filmed some shots in a parking lot, in order to give the video an underground kind of a feel,” stated Shetty, adding that Shahid is super excited and looks like a complete rockstar.
The actress admits that although she was excited about featuring in the super hit number, she was nervous too. “I know the pressure one goes through when a classic song is recreated. There will be comparisons. This could be my ode to Prabhu sir. Also, we all know Shahid is a great dancer, I was nervous about matching up to his skills, but he was super fun to work with. We were in sync from the word go,” stated Kiara.
Ask Kumar about the recreation, and he quips, “The original number feat Prabhu Deva was an iconic chartbuster composed by AR Rahman. Yo Yo Honey Singh has recreated this version as per the taste of today's young generation. This track will the onscreen magic with Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, and I am sure the next generation will have a have blast dancing to this song, when it releases.”
Contrary to reports that stated how this track would feature or be a part of Kapoor's upcoming film - Batti Gul Meter Chalu, a source close to the project confirmed that this isn't the case. The 'Urvashi' recreation would be a separate single, and has nothing to do with the film.
Who else is super excited to watch this video already?

The Top Ranbir Kapoor Track Playlist | Birthday Special
Everybody loves Ranbir Kapoor. I mean, c'mon! In his nine-year-old career, RK has given us some of the best, most memorable films. Stuff that can be watched on repeat for days (Okay! maybe I'll let Saawariya and Besharam go, but I hope you get the drift). After Bombay Velvet and Tamasha last year (the latter being a favourite), Ranbir has kept things low key on both the professional and personal front for almost a year. In a recent interview, the actor confessed that he is using this time to reinvent and start his career as an actor from scratch. Well, this too shall pass. Every successful and talented actor hits a rough patch, only to rise like a phoenix with his / her next. And if the promos of his next, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, are anything to go by, we can already predict a huge BO success storm.
As the actor turns 33 today, we compiled a list of our favourite tracks, featuring RK (the list is pretty long, but we tried to zero it down to top 10). Songs that can be on loop all night, and shall continue to rock our playlists even the next day. Wish you a very Happy Birthday, Ranbir Kapoor. Shine On, always!
Khuda Jaane - Bachna Ae Haseeno
A delightful romantic track, stunning locales and a charming lead pair; what's not to love here? Also, I love the entire album. It was tough to choose just one track, but it had to be this.
Iktara - Wake Up Sid
Duh! Is there anyone who doesn't love this song? Come rains (actually, they just went) and you will see most filmy birds hanging out at Nariman Point, listening to this track, and feeling the rain on their face.
Bheegi Si - Raajneeti
Alright! This one's a personal favourite. Love the melodious composition by the late Aadesh Shrivastava. Also, this film is extremely under-rated.

Tera Hone Laga Hoon - Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani
Back in 2009, everybody I knew in class had this track on their iPods and phones, sometimes even as a ringtone (back then, Nokia music phones were a rage). Also, there was something about the Ran-Kat chemistry (Sigh!) that got everyone attracted to them. Suddenly, everyone around was either a Ranbir or Katrina fan. Sweet!
Tujhe Bhula Diya - Anjaana Anjaani
Clearly, RK was on a chartbuster spree! Just look at that graph. Adding to it was the soulful Tujhe Bhula Diya, featuring Ranbir and Priyanka Chopra. Remember using it for one of my contemporary dance routines back then.

Aashiyaan - Barfi!
A beautiful poetry in motion, with some of the most heartwarming tracks. Barfi! was a magical ode to love. An ode like no other. Performances that can melt your heart and make you smile. This was clearly one of Ranbir's most challenging and excellent performances till date. And, this song is enough to make your day.
Sadda Haq - Rockstar
Ah! My anthem. I absolutely swear by this one helluva incredible track, composed by the ace AR Rahman and performed beautifully by Mohit Chauhan. As Jordan in Rockstar, RK was in top form. Again, an album with way too many favourites. Tough to choose, but we had to pick one.
Dilliwali Girlfriend - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Trust me, it's not easy to pick a favourite from an album that's as amazing as YJHD! While the heart goes with Balam Pichkari, the head clearly had other plans. Dilliwali Girlfriend won because of it's fabulous choreography (Yes! I loved it) and sizzling chemistry between the lead pair, Ranbir and Deepika. Also, this film is pure love! You can't help but watch it on repeat.
Matargashti - Tamasha
I don't care if this sounds repetitive, but it is extremely difficult to choose a favourite from such wonderful film albums! The film happens to be one of my favourite films from 2015, and I stand by everything positive that I had tweeted about the film (not the one to change stands. nope). Tamasha was beautiful and once again, Ranbir and Deepika stole the show with their unmatchable chemistry. While both Matargashti and Agar Tum Saath Ho are superb compositions, the former won purely because of it's fun value. This is one happy number, and is perfect to take your mood to the next level on a dull, boring day!
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - Title Track
And what's a Birthday special list without the latest chartbuster? The ADHM title track, composed by Pritam, is literally EVERYWHERE - rickshaws, phones, YouTube trend list, radio, television and even on little pop-up ads that appear on websites. The song went on to receive more than 8 million views in just a day. People can't seem to get enough of this melodious track, and of course, Ranbir's fresh pairing with the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Needless to say, the track set social media trends on fire, and deservingly so.
What's your favourite Ranbir Kapoor track? Leave a comment below or join the conversation on Twitter! And once again, here's wishing Ranbir a fantastic birthday.

Getting Trippy With It | Udta Punjab Music Review
Every time I attend a trailer launch, I am bound to judge the music of that film, before I can judge its prospects at the box office. At most events, the signature background score or the main track is continuously played, to ensure that it stays with you several hours after the event. Something similar happened to me during the Udta Punjab trailer launch last month, as I just couldn't take the signature tune out of my head. I kept humming, tapping my feet and later, discussing my pre-release excitement for the film's music on Snapchat. Needless to say, composer Amit Trivedi's work has matched up to all my expectations from the album, that gives you some serious musical 'high'.
The seven track album starts off with Chitta Ve, which is brilliantly sung by Babu Habbi, Shahid Mallya and Bhanu Prtap. This high octane song is enough to make you get up and shake a leg. Hear the lyrics closely, and you are sure to realise that it goes much beyond simply being just another song. Chitta Ve is a harsh reality - that of a drug user's state of mind and how the substance has swamped the state of Punjab, especially the youth. Kudos to lyricist Shellee for a well penned track. Chitta Ve is edgy and highly addictive, making it one of our favourite songs from the album.
The upbeat and easygoing Da da dasse comes next. Again, one can't enough of the signature tune here. Kanika Kapoor's vocals, coupled with Babu Habbi's rapping and Trivedi's perfect composition make this one a well arranged song. The kind of a track that you would love to hear while sitting all alone and pondering over something (maybe?)
The soft and melodious Ikk Kudi comes next, with Shahid Mallya taking over as the solo vocalist. Although the song is well sung, for us, it is the reprise version by Diljit Dosanjh (who also makes his debut in Bollywood with this film) that wins. Dosanjh' version is an excellent rendition; a breezy composition which sounds more soulful and emotional than the original one.
Ikk Kudi is followed by another energetic number. This time, we've got Amit Trivedi crooning Ud-daa Punjab with Vishal Dadlani. This one's got the dhol and tumbi (a traditional North-Indian instrument) dominating the composition, with Dadlani's rap verses that pack a punch. The lyrics by Varun Grover mirror a drug user's state of a mind in a more mordant manner. We love the crazy vibes of Ud-daa Punjab, and so will you.
Mallya is back as a solo vocalist in the melodious and well composed Hass nach le. Fans of Shahid Kapoor might get transported to a song titled "Ik tu hi" (remember the Hans Raj Hans version in Mausam?) with this one, especially in the first 1:30 mins of the track. At least, we did! Mallya effortlessly sings this one, especially the high notes. The dholki and harmonium artists do an excellent job. Perhaps the only number with a touch of romance, this one might just make it to your next Sangeet choreography list.
Finally, we come to the highlight of this album. If Chitta Ve gives you a high, Trivedi's Vadiyaan is all set to take you higher. Sounds straight off an EDM concert, this one. Everything about Vadiyaan is trippy and absolutely incredible, right from Trivedi's fine vocals to the composition and of course, Shellee's fabulous lyrics that explain a drug user's point of view perfectly. Vadiyaan is crazily trippy and we bet you can't stop hearing this one on repeat. Definitely my favourite from the Udta Punjab album!
Verdict: Insanely trippy and highly addictive! I gotta give it - ✮✮✮✮1/2
Have you heard the album? Let us know your thoughts about the Udta Punjab album.

Mickey Mouse moves the Shahid Kapoor way
We recently saw how our favorite Disney character, Mickey Mouse, went the Indian way by turning into a auto-rickshaw driver and zoomed across the nation with an adorable elephant as his passenger. We saw several other videos where we saw him travelling to different countries, in unique garbs and fancy locations. But ladies and gentlemen, this time, the iconic mouse is all set to blow your mind. The moment I saw this video, I just couldn't my eyes off the creativity with which the folks at Disney have come up with this Bollywood mix.
People, here's presenting Mickey Mouse and his friends going the Bollywood way.
And hey Shanatics, this one is special for you, as Mickey is all set to step into Shahid Kapoor's shoes. Hear him sing "Tu Mere Agal Bagal," composed by Pritam and sung by Mika Singh, like a pro in this brand new video posted by Disney India.
And peeps, don't miss those moves.

Music Review - Creature 3D
Director Vikram Bhatt has got the perfect commercial music album for his most ambitious film,Creature 3D. The nine track album includes five original compositions, one unplugged version and three remixes. Bhatt has roped in music composer Mithoon for this romantic- drama, while one song has been composed by Tony Kakkar. But does it meet our expectations? Read the review to find out.
Music Review - Raja Natwarlal
Emraan Hashmi always managed to get away with the best of music. Be it Gangster, Jannat or Awaarapan, music has always been the biggest plus point of all his films. The upbeat and catchy songs from him latest venture, Raja Natwarlal, too are slowly and steadily climbing up the music charts. But has it managed to impress us? Read on to find out.
Music Review: Daawat-E-Ishq
If the title of the film is anything to go by, you can at least expect a blend of masaledaar tunes (apart from the lip smacking Hyderabadi food tossed up) in Daawat-E-Ishq. Composers Sajid-Wajid have whipped up a decent bhel puri of seven tracks, but still, one can't help but state the fact that this album misses out on that one major chart-buster that a film really needs.
Music Review - Hasee Toh Phasee
This one has the perfect combination, with Dharma Productions, composers in the form of Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani, Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kumaar as lyricists and moreover, two young guns - Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra – in the lead. Fortunately, this amazing package does present some decent foot tapping tracks, it is the romantic numbers that surprise and how!
Your Chance to Watch Sean Paul LIVE
Back in the last decade, most of us have swayed on the tunes of 'Temperature' and 'Get Busy'.
Who would have thought that the 'Touch the sky' star would perform in India in the next decade itself?
The dance-hall icon whose single 'Got 2 Luv U' recorded more then 100 million views on YouTube is finally here! Sean A Paul Ryan Francis Henriques,popularly known as Sean Paul, arrived at the Delhi airport last night for his India tour. The world renowned artist and Grammy award winning reggae giant Sean Paul will be embarking on his first ever multi-city tour in India starting 2nd December, first stop being Delhi (NCR). Also performing at the Tour along with Sean Paul will be International club king DJG Kilogram, who will be opening the set at this concert.

Music Review - Mausam
Mausam did not fare well at the BO, but I really liked the music of this film. Directed by one of the finest talents of our country, Pankaj Kapur Uncle made his debut as the director of this film.
Many believe that a films music is one of the key elements that can help making it a hit. Mausam is right there. The music of the film is composed by Pritam & The lyrics are written by Irshad Kamil. For many, The JWM combo is a winner.
The album opens with a heart warming, sweet acoustic guitar tune. Rabba is a delight for every die-hard romantic. Shahid Mallya is a singer to watch out for. His voice suits Shahid kapoor's lovesick expressions. The song is dreamy and takes you on a dream world ride. There is a reprise version sung by Rahat fateh Ali khan which is equally good. But personally, I like Shahid Mallya's version.
