And Nagada Sang Dhol and Lovely also got seetis and taalis...so although the team is important, without the star they cannot do anything...and DP's screen presence and aptitude is what made those songs so great visually!
You need to see the forum when the BM casting was announced- nobody though PC could pull off a period look like Kashibai, due to her urban looks. When the first poster came out, the same was said that PC has too much of western look for this films.
I disagree completely- there were TWO big actresses in Pinga and yet it didn't work. While songs like DJ waale babu Aur zinghat from Sairat got the seetis & taalis despite having no bigs stars. Not taking anything from what a good job Deepika did at Deewani Mastani, I do not agree she was the only reason why it got seetis & taalis, it was the song which made it what it is and the Grand way with how SLB directed the entry of Deepika in the song. Take that out, and Deepika even with her screen presence wouldn't be able to do nothing. Nagada was again SLB, and Lovely was another Sheila & Chikni what else do you expect? Fevicol & mera naam mary got the seetis & taalis too, despite Bebo doing a shit job at it, because it's the songs what made them popular.
These stars can do NOTHING without a good song, its the other way stars cannot do anything without these songs. That is why these days even flop films with newcomers have popular songs! And that is why today big stars interfere to say what songs to take in the movie, and which will work.
