Can anyone have done Chaiyya Chaiyya better than SRK? - Page 3

LOL yeah, that was some very weird choreography...but that song is so good! The music of this film is timeless. I still hear it every now and then and it never gets old.

I watched the film when I was younger then watched it twice or so again in recent times. I do think it was somewhat ahead of its time.

This is getting too nostalgic. 😆

This is the scene right before Chaiyya Chaiyya if anyone wants to see it again:

AR Rehman is amazing. I don't think anything will ever come close to Dil Se's album. It's timeless. The hardwork he put into this album truly shows. I love how even if the film didn't do well, the music never went unnoticed. In fact, till this day we're talking about it. How many times do you see that happen with a film that didn't do well? especially a film from 2 decades ago.

Speaking of AR Rehman..I initially didn't like Tamasha's music album. Even while I watched the film, I didn't quite enjoy a lot of the songs as much as I had hoped..but after watching the film, I decided to hear the album again..and then again..and now, I love the album. I think that's more so the case with ARR now? because earlier, his songs would instantly connect with you.

Haha...I think Satrangi Re is probably the most difficult song to understand in this movie.

But I think Farah did a pretty good job choreographing that song and getting the gist of it...the 7 stages of love...you can see the progression of his love from attraction to their union to madness..and finally death.

Okay i found it 😆 I was actually talking about this bit-

I cant point a finger and i don even know what it is but there is something incredibly charming about SRK in this bit 😆

Actually ARR created some of his best music in the 90s..Its actually kinda ironic he got Oscars for Slumdog when in reality, its not half good as a Roja or Dil Se..ARR was crazy good in the 90s..Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Rangeela, Taal, not to forget his albums down South- each one of these albums can beat almost every music director's best work 😆 I actually love Dil Se Re and Ae Ajnabee as much as Chaiyya Chaiyya..The chorus of Dil Se Re and the way its shot- its magic..

Those bits from 0:44- 1:05 make me skip a heartbeat till date 😆😆

Re: Tamasha, i agree..A lot of his albums have that quality these days..They don instantly connect with you..I remember disliking the album of Rockstar too..And then i fell in love with it and think its sheer genius 😆 Ditto with Guru..I think the only album where i was truly disappointed was JTHJ..Cos none of the songs have grown on me till date..Apart from the bgm in the 'aankhon ki namkeen mastiyan' bit which is partly saved by SRK's voice 😆

Agree with everything you said. The song is stunning visually! I love watching the song..just as much as I love hearing the audio. Sukwinder is definitely magical. He has a powerful voice, and I feel sometimes it's hard for actors to lipsync to his voice in a believable manner. There's something lacking...but SRK nailed it. AR Rehman is at another level in this movie. I love every song from the film..but, if I absolutely HAD to choose, then I'd probably go with Chaiyya Chaiyya because it's such a fun song to watch and listen.

Oh yeahh! You put it quite aptly. Malaika's grace and sex appeal complements SRK's boyish charm. They have great chemistry. They're so spontaneous together. The rustic and rawness to the song makes it work even more. That's where I feel SRK only adds to the song's appeal. There's nothing fancy about his appearance...normal attire, no heavy makeup, sloppy hair - which by the way tremendously helped his dance 😆 SRK got everything right here..his energy in particular was above and beyond. You kind of can't help but smile while watching him.
