Boys In The Band
Shahrukh Khan
In his attempt to outdo Amitabh Bachchan in all aspects Shahrukh Khan couldn't resist the offer to sing the song Apun Bola Tu Meri Laila in 'Josh'. I'm not surprised, as Anu Malik is the music director of the film.
Shahrukh, like Anu Malik, maintains the same pitch throughout the song, least realizing that apart from driving the audience crazy, he subconsciously inspired and passed on the effect on his co-star.
Eight years later, Aishwarya is all set to make the audience run for cover, by trying to sing.
The lyrics are as weird as his voice.
Throughout the song, he sounds like a don who has wet his pants, trying to render a nursery rhyme.
'Aye Shivani' he sang, 'Who Shivani?' Rhea Pillai asked. Khatam kahani!
This time, again it was Jatin-Lalit, who again dared to experiment with Aamir Khan.
The moment the novice Aamir sang 'Aye Kya Bolti Tu', Alka got so flustered and helpless, that pat came her reply 'Kya main bolu?'
The curiosity generated by this reaction, made the song a hit. What to tell man!
Even the braying of a donkey is more pleasant to the ears. Had it not been for brother Sohail Khan, no other music director would have dared to make Salman Khan sing 'Chaandi ke daal pe sone ka mor'.
He sang it like a peacock in heat, jumping all over the place, imitating what he is best at. A proud peacock minus the plumes.
He may have looked like a rock star, but the moment he starts singing, he sounds like a gust of wind snaking through a bamboo grove. Its so feeble and slimy...eeks...weren't rockstars the sole carriers of the gruff voice virus?
He should have taken some training before he decided to sing those numbers, as his voice is too squeaky for a rock star.Much of it sounded like he recorded them while on his potty!
