Article: 5 telly points--SONGS

Marriage no bar Jeene ke ishaare mil gaye (Phir Milenge) Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi The number sounded great when Shilpa Shetty and Salman Khan made goo-goo eyes at one another.. but the adapted ver- sion sucks because it's sung with a pecu- liar nasal twang. It came on before Krishna Tulsi and Lak- shya fell in love, it played when they fell in love, when she was engaged to Eklavya, and now that she is married to Eklavya, it plays when they accidentally and innocently (mind you!) let their hands touch across steel tumblers, glass doors etc. Lava hot, this. Love, heartbreak and then some Pyar Tune Kya Kiya (Pyar Tune Kya Kiya) Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi This one was quite apt for Karan and Nandini, 25 years ago. Back then, Karan had more appeal (he still would, if he washed off that ridicu- lous red make-up from his head and face).. he was the agonised brat, she was the 200 per cent Balaji heroine. The song played when she was engaged to Ansh and they walked on deserted Filmci- ty streets. It played when she went into a coma and he was 'forced' to marry Tanya. It played when she returned and when they decided to give each other up.. gosh, I'm actu- ally feeling sorry for this couple. When we were together Kya pyar karoge.. mujhse (Kuchh Toh Hai) Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Remember how Sahil and Ganga met? Of course you don't, it was so long ago. They're not together anymore. She was married to Gautam, realised that he was having an affair with Teesha and turned to her devar for 'friendship.' This song played suggestively in the background until one day they both succumbed to , their baser instincts. Hell! Love me do.. bit by bit Thoda sa pyar hua hai (Maine Dil Tujhko Diya) Kahiin Toh Hoga and Sohail Khan Sameera Reddy have Sujal and Kashish to thank for the success of this song. Right from the Kashish and Sujal (when he was still Rajeev Khandelwal and not cane-and-bamboo finish Gurpreet Singh) got soaked in the rain.. to when she married Piyush, to when Piyush died and she mar- ried Sujal for revenge.. if you can figure this plot out, you should be a nuclear scientist. Original soundtrack Mitwa (Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna) Kasturi This song deserves wah-wahs, because they haven't touched it. It hasn't been modified, the lyrics haven't been changed, it's just the original that starts playing in the back- ground whenever the heroine is at a loss for words and just smiles (which is very often). Only now that she's lost her parents and her lover has gone evil, there might be a sad- der version. Frightening!
