Bodyguard music is maha bakwaas


The title track of Bodyguard begins with banter between two Bambaiyya characters discussing the prospect of a new film by this name. ‘Hero kaun hain uska?’ one asks the other. This infuriates the fan boy, who packs a punch, ‘Teri …’ smashing the punter’s delicate body part. Salman Khan arrives, announcing, ‘Mujh par ek ehsaan karna, ke mujh par koi ehsaan na karna.’ Dude has said it, so no mercy thereon.

The title track dwindles into Wanted-Ready dhinchak territory; self congratulatory and saviour of all things loud. Had the chorus on the track been warbling, ‘Aao ji, aao ji, kha lo bhajjya pao ji, khila raha hai dekho bodyguard’ instead of ‘Aao ji, bao ji, dil se dil milao ji, aa gaya hai dekho bodyguard,’ we’d still be shaking our obedient tush, because Salman bhai is shaking his. Does not matter what the words are, as long as masses can be made to do the drill, Sallu style.

The next track, credited to guest composer Pritam is I Love You – sung by Ash King, a wannabe uber-cool mushy ballad that should be your morning alarm tune. Reassuring to know something wakes you up with a cuckoo affectation. Aww sweety. Sleep with a hammer under your pillow.

Desi Beat has Mika Singh thwacking it for disco dandiya. Amrita Kak accompanies him on this one, garba stick for stick, they beat the drum hollow. Utter rubbish.

Then when you put Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shreya Ghoshal in the midst of stupefyingly trite music, you try to redeem the album’s subservient soul with their slo-mo transcendental rendition of Teri Meri – but is that enough, when the composition itself navigates round and round their voices, either to drown them or churn something that has a melodic consistency like cream in a blender – a thick gooey glob with no crunch.

The four afore mentioned tracks have a hazaar other versions – remix, reprise, unplugged – take your pick. Himesh Reshammiya is the music composer of Bodyguard. You guessed right.

    The way these guys say it – they dont sound Tapori at all….it all sounds forced.

    Great post Manish.

    Body Guard have some really good songs…They won’t be chartbuster like that of Ready pre -realse…But if the movie clicks(Which it seems like),the songs would become huge…

    Whatever you like … you will review it as Good … and whatever you dont like … you will say bad abt it ….. however good it is….

    If a review is BIASED (this 1 is surely 100% ) .. then the review/reviewer should also be blasted ….

    @Manish,

    Good review.

    “The title track dwindles into Wanted-Ready dhinchak territory; self congratulatory and saviour of all things loud. Had the chorus on the track been warbling, ‘Aao ji, aao ji, kha lo bhajjya pao ji, khila raha hai dekho bodyguard’ instead of ‘Aao ji, bao ji, dil se dil milao ji, aa gaya hai dekho bodyguard,’ we’d still be shaking our obedient tush, because Salman bhai is shaking his. Does not matter what the words are, as long as masses can be made to do the drill, Sallu style.”

    Agree with you that “Does not matter what the words are”. What has dil se dil milao ji got to do with Bodyguard? It would have made more sense if khushiyan manao ji as they are celebrating the coming of Bodyguard. I did not like the song but I think it will be a big hit though.

    “The next track, credited to guest composer Pritam is I Love You – sung by Ash King, a wannabe uber-cool mushy ballad that should be your morning alarm tune. Reassuring to know something wakes you up with a cuckoo affectation. Aww sweety. Sleep with a hammer under your pillow.”

    LOL. You have nailed Ash King’s voice perfectly to that of a cuckoo.

    “Desi Beat has Mika Singh thwacking it for disco dandiya. Amrita Kak accompanies him on this one, garba stick for stick, they beat the drum hollow. Utter rubbish.”

    Agree could not even complete the song.

    “The four afore mentioned tracks have a hazaar other versions – remix, reprise, unplugged – take your pick.”

    So true – looks like they just want to fill the CD.

    I don’t care what the reviews say about it but ‘Teri Meri Prem Kahani’ is playing on repeat mode for me… all the three versions- best song this year in my opinion…

    Agree about Desi Beats being underwhelming-we have seen better punjabi songs-

    BG title track is gonna be a smasher once the movie comes- it is like a background score- more of a homage to the character and the star rather than a song…

    I love you is sugary sweet- some may like it some may not- I like it- again after the movie comes it may have a better impact…

    Well there will be good reviews … and there will be bad reviews….
    But who will JUDGE the CREDIBILTY of the reviewer??

    Someone has to REVIEW the REVIEWER and his work.

    Giving opinion is different, and giving a review is different.
    But anyways public forum hai … jisko to bolna hai boll sakta hai ….

    BG music rocks ….. its selling like HOT CAKES … go and grab your CD/DVD….

    Desi Beat: Video is haunting…. Salman abnd Bebo are smoking HOTT…
    foot tapping bhangra music …. just wait and see this years Ganpati Festivals will have DESI BEAT all over….

    I love you: A nice smooth romantic song…. it doesnt have heavy words… it just floats you … and takes your mind to a dreamland ….

    BG title track: This starts with a BANG… and then gets into fun mode…. WAIT for the vdo … Salman – KAT to sizzle onscreen …

    Teri Meri: MARK my words…. This is going to create TERE NAAM types musical HYSTERIA….. HR’s best composition in this album …

    —-

    As for the reviewer … I apologise I blasted you earlier …
    I promise that I will never call you BIASED ever again ….
    I promise that I will never say – You are HIGH on WEED … ever again …

    - SRY SHAKTIMAAN … :P

    and who would review that reviewer who reviews the reviewer ;)

    @sup: yes that way it will go on and on …. but if the reader is given an option to comment on the review (like in this case)…. he/she should utilise this opportunity to Review the Reviewer ….

    You might see some comments from readers like …
    (teri maa ki $##$#$$#…. Saaale SALMAN Bhai ki movie ko aisa bolta hai … tu kabhi saamne to aaa…. teri chaadi mei bomb lagaa dungaa… fir uss dhamakee ka review karte baith… !!! It was LOUD … etc … )

    Yes i have seen Kaavalan(Tamil BG with Vijay) and was surprised to like it.

    Now, when i first read the synopsis of original long time back, it seemed ridiculous and i said that on few places about it back then.

    But Kaavalan they had changed i guess, and had 3 big fights and am sure Hindi one will be changed even more to suit Salman’s image right now.

    But still, some people including Salman fans might not like the last 30 mins or so, but then some others might like it more, as it has rona – dhona stuff.

    Yes ending has some elements of KKHH, i had liked KKHH too.

    very nice review..this is what I felt. It is a mediocore album,.

    It seems the doctrine of the Sallu fans are like –
    If u say anything against Bhai’s movies or music or acting or anything else, you are biased. And on top of that, you are dumb and pseduo intellectual. Only Bhai’s fans have real good IQ. LOL:-)

    @shilac: No man … u got it all wrng…

    Bhai’s fans are all uneducated …. and are not intellegient … and all are either doodhwaala’s or rickshawallas….

    Amazingly these doodhwaalas are earning soo much these days that they go and see all Bhai’s movies in Multiplex …. that too more than 1 time …
    No wonder 100cr has become a CAKE WALK for Bhai these days.. :)

    and the real intellegient crowd (read Urban well educated) apparently dont have any movies at the plexes when Bhai’s movie releases ….so they come here on NG … and start CRYING (read reviewing Bhai’s movies without even watching it)…

    Poor Intellegient and Urban Well Educated ppl …

    PS: These Urban Well Educated ppl watch Formula HW movies SHAMELESSLY … and praise them till death …. but when it comes to Bhai’s movies … they start CRYING …. DUKHI AATMA’s …

    What is wrong in this review – and what is wrong in we supporting reviewer’s view?
    If you dont like – dont read it. No one on NG is going hyper creating posts after posts against BG…so there is no need for u to act hyper like that.

    @Raju Guide: Are chill bro….

    I never create NEGATIVE posts abt any movie …. like this person has created … look at the title (It says BAKWAAS)…

    And you yourself have created 1000 negative posts when Ra1 trailer was ..released … (CLUELESS LOOK OFSUPERHERO)…. etc.

    so did I come and tell you why are you doing that?? Why were you going HYPER over there… if you dont like the trailer dont watch it … and dont comment on it….


    “If you dont like – dont read it.”

    This applies to you as well … if you feel my comments are silly … dnt read it .. as simple as that …

    And I can start new POSTS with POSITIVE music reviews of BG.. and I bet there are 1000′s positive reviews out there … but I dnt do tht ….

    If some puts a GENUINE review … I will accept it … but this review from the title itself looks BIASED … and hence the treatment ….

    Also if you see this thread Shilac was the one who brought this “Intelligient ppl” argument …

    Cool. It is only a music review if we can call that Music.
    Sallu does not need music to make superhits.
    If doodwallahs make their cows listen to BG music the milk output may go down drastically.
    If rikshawwallahs play that music in their rikshaws, passengers may jump off and hurt themselves.

    Hell ya… if he caters to just doodhwallahs, richshwallahs, autowallahs, cleaners, drivers, bus conductors- in short people from the lowest rung to the society to the lower middle class level- He is reaching out to the population of the country- he is giving them reasons to smile, laugh and forget their worries in the time they are watching him do his stuff on screen (Big or small)- In that way he is doing a service to the society in a manner much greater than all the charity he does… he is being humane not just human – true to his words…

    People may ridicule and laugh at the the perceived inanity of his work, or just choose to bash him for his lack of perfection (or perceived perfection)- and may feel intelligent doing all this- great- it is again a charity…

    This comment is response to the post which just given an opinion on the music of an upcoming Dhamaka Hit( albeit a biased one considering the wording of the title) , it is for all the intelligent people on this forum who feel that being a salman fan makes you unintelligent. Heck if that is how one starts to think after crossing over to being intelligent- Thank God for Salman Khan- who keeps us stupid and regressive and unintelligent…

    why are so many people here insecure about intelligence levels? it is itself very ‘unintelligent” that level of intelligence is brought into consideration by judging the likes and dislikes of people… I like Salman khan and he is the only reason i visit NG, does it make me lesser intelligent then that person who has other choices..? I read somewhere about masses and classes theory on this forum and each and every word of that post seems true.
