Mumbai, March 24th, 2017: From the legendary Amitabh Bachchan lending his voice to the mind-blowing trailer to roping in the legendary Asha Bhosle to lend her voice to the first track Prem Me Tohre, Begum Jaan as a film has brought onboard powerhouse performers!
The makers of Begum Jaan released the first song from the film – Prem Me Tohre. The best part about this song is the composer-singer duo. You heard right! Prem Me Tohre has been crooned by veteran singing sensation Asha Bhosle and the music of the song has been composed by star composer Anu Malik.
They wanted to approach Asha Bhosle since the beginning but since she hasn’t sung in a while, they weren’t too sure if she would agree. Asha Bhosle was last heard in Mai in 2013. Fans are eagerly awaiting her song from Begum Jaan. Commenting on the same, music composer, Anu Malik said, “I was not keeping well and Ashaji came over to meet me. I immediately told my wife that I have to work with her. Even Srijit Mukherji, the director was unaware of this. I rang up Srijit from the ICU and told him I will resume work in 10 days. I composed a tune at the recording studio, and told Srijit that we should get Ashaji to sing the song. Srijit jumped at the idea. I immediately rang Ashaji and told her to come to my place the next day. When she heard the track, she said this song marks the comeback of Asha Bhosle! My first reaction was when did you go in the first place! Her reaction after recording the song was priceless! She exclaimed that she was truly back! I loved her reaction so much since Ashaji loves singing and music. If you hear the song you will know that such a tone and voice cannot be copied or matched. She’s a magic and a miracle! I am honoured to have had the chance to work with her. She’s 82 and if you hear her now you will be spellbound!”
Director Srijit Mukherji, further added, “When a living legend like Asha Bhosle sings for your debut film, it is a miraculous dream come true.”
‘Basanti’ from Movie ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’ is a Scream Aloud Song
A perfect song to chill and match your mood on a bad, stressful day by screaming aloud “Basanti Aaj (2 times) kutton ke saamne na naach”. The song from the movie Suraj Pe Mangal bhari is full of energy, quirky, funny as well as entertaining with some badass lyrics thrown in that is highly enjoyable and hummable. The lyricist Danish Sabri is in terrific form with some well-written verses that are a scream as well as situational.
Basanti – Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari
Karishma Tanna looks super-hot while Manoj Bajpai aces the steps to create a delightful song that is bound to top the charts this season thanks to the gyrations of Basanti and a deadly salivating Veeru!
The trendy and satirical lyrics are a roar and begins with a preamble “Kutte ko jaanne ke liye kutta banna padta hai”. These metaphoric words of wisdom are indeed very true and sermonising! Just like the trailer, the song carries on the trend of the humour quotient with some upbeat music.
Javed – Mohsin composer duo have really done a commendable job for creating this commercial song with the sound of the 90s. There is a heavy usage of live instrumentation and the music duo have sung the song with gusto with the able support of Payal Dev and Danish Sabri. The combination has come out with a cracker of a song that is bound to set alight one and all in this festive season.
Karishma Tanna who features in this song said, “We were certain that we didn’t want a skin show in the song. We wanted to focus on my expression, dance and other artists in the song, and the song itself. An item song doesn’t mean that you need to show skin.”
