Film Love Aaj Kal director is Imtiaz Ali, music director Pritam Chakraborty and lyricist, Irshad Kamil, who regaled us with a fresh as the morning dew music of the heart-warming superhit, JAB WE MET, are back once again. And this time its under the banner of Illumanti Films, whose producer is ”Chote Nawab”,  Saif Ali Khan. The name of stars are Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Giselle Monteiro, Rishi Kapoor, Rahul Khanna, Neetu Singh, Vir Das, and Raj Zutshi.

The title can be read as a pun on time and memory and reflects the narrative’s division into two parallel love stories from aaj (today) and kal (yesterday): Harleen Kaur and Veer Singh in India 40 years ago, and Meera Pandit and Jai Vardhan Singh in London and India, present day. In contrasting the opinion of two versions of the same person (Saif Ali Khan as Jai in 2009 and Veer in 1965), the story gives some hints about what love aaj kal (these days) is and could be.

Neeraj Shridhar, Master Saleem, Suzi Q, Sunidhi Chauhan, Mohit Chauhan, K k and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are singers of this movie. “Love Aaj Kal” have a funtastic music specially for younger. Lovely combination of simple guitar strums as well as crunch guitar sounds herald one of the most rhythmic track of the album ” Aahuh Aahun”.

Background music by Salim-Sulaiman is unobtrusive and at the same time helps carry the narrative from scene to scene. Pritam’s score (with lyrics by Irshad Kamil) fares better within the film, enhancing and commenting on the storyline, than as stand-alone songs.

If someone was listening to my cries over the first track, instantly second track made me fly high. A haunting whistling sound coming from a distant place with winds blowing, and Voila !! Mohit Chauhan !! Singing ‘Yeh Dooriyaan’ a regular, soaked in sweetness, lovely song by Mohit. Words by Irshad Kamil, does fantastic job. And the ‘theme’ the song has, must be used in various parts of the movie. Also it is used in Main Yahaan Hoon track. Fresh breeze of romance is felt all around. Traces of Tum Se Hi are felf here too.

Next track ‘Chor Bazari’ is a fun foot tapping track. Girl and boy having fun. Sung by Neeraj Shridhar [again] with Sunidhi Chauhan. Though composition is quite insteresting but it fails to hold up the attention. Just a few seconds into the ‘mukhda’ and the all too familiar and popular ‘been’ notes from the evergreen classic ”Man Dole” engulfs the listeners and any novice can say that Pritam has another chart cracker of a number up his sleeve in the form of ”Twist”, and next songs are ‘Main Kya Hoon’, ‘Ajj Din Chadheya’, ‘Thoda Thoda Pyar’.

”Chor Bazari-Remix” is one of those rare instances where the remix is better than the original. So let us do the ritual, through our final verdict, which is obvious! On the whole, the audio album of LOVE AAJ KAL.

Hindi Lyrics

chor

na re nanna re
chori bazari do naino ki, pehale thi aadat jo hat gayi
pyaar ki jo teri meri umrr aayi thi woh ghat gayi
duniya ki toh phikar kahaan thi, teri bhi abb chinta ghat gayi
chanda re, chanda re
tu bhi tu hai, main bhi main hoon, duniya saari dekh ulat gayi
tu na jaane main na jaanu, kaise saaari baat palat gayi
ghatani hi thi yeh bhi ghatana, ghatate ghatate lo yeh ghat gayi
haan chori bazari do naino ki, pehale thi aadat jo hat gayi

(taarif teri karana hai, tujhe khone se darana hai
haan bhul gaya abb tujhape din mein char dafa marna) – (2)
pyaar khumari utari saari, baato ki badali bhi chhat gayi
hamse main pe aaye aise, mujhako toh main hi main lut gayi
ek huye the do se dono, dono ki abb raahe kat gayi
na re nanna re……

na re nanna re……
abb koi phikar nahi, gum ka bhi jikrr nahi
haan hota hoon main jis raste pe aaye khushi wahin
aajad hoon main tujhse, aajad hai tu mujhse
haan jo jee chaahe, jaise chaahe karle raj yahin
laaj sharam ki chhoti moti jo thi dori, woh bhi kat gayi
chauwk chawbaare gali molhalle, khol ke main saare ghonghat gayi
tu na badali mein na badala, dilli saari dekh badal gayi

ek ghoont mein duniyadaari ki main saaari samaj nigal gayi

haan rang biranga paani pike, sidhi saadhi kudi bigad gayi

dekhake mujhako hasata gaata sadh gayi yeh duniya sadh gayi

na re nanna re……

Hindi Lyrics

ajj din chadheya tere rang warga – (2)
phul sa hai khila aaj din
rabba mere din yeh na dhale, woh jo mujhe khwaab mein mile
use tu lagaade abb gale, tenu dil da waasta
rabba aaya dar de yaar de, saara jahaan chod chad ke
mere sapane sawaar de, tennu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga

(baksha gunaaho ko, sunake duwaao ko
rabba pyaar hai tune sab ko hi de diya
meri bhi aahon ko, sun le duwaaon ko
mujhako woh dila maine jisako hai dil diya) – (2)
aasmaan pe aasmaan usake de itana bata
woh jo mujhko dekh ke hase, pana chahu raat din jise
rabba mere naam kar use, tenu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga

(maanga jo mera hai, jaata kya tera hai
maine kaun si tujhase jannat maang li
kaisa khuda hai tu, bas naam ka hai tu
rabba jo teri itani si bhi na chali) – (2)
chaahiye jo mujhe kar de tu mujhako ata
jiti rahi saltanat teri, jiti rahe ashiqui meri
dede mujhe jindagi meri, tenu dil da waasta
rabba mere din yeh na dhale, woh jo mujhe khwaab mein mile
use tu lagaade abb gale, tenu dil da waasta
rabba aaya dar de yaar de, saara jahaan chod chad ke
mere sapane sawaar de, tennu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga – (3)
din chadheya, tere rang warga
ajj din chadheya

Hindi Lyrics

kaddi te has bol ve, na jind saddi ron ve – (2)
tu aaja dil jaaniya, de kar meherbaaniya – (2)
aa saanu teri rod ve, na jind sadddi ron ve

(mohabbat muskil bhaari, badi hi mast bimaari
you wanna let it goin on
mohabbaat lambi yaari, bina permit ke jaari
but getch u ride it on yeah, com on) – (2)
o o ho o dil ne dil mangana mangana, ishq mein rangna rangna
jite ji isane hai rab nu milaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ek oy kahaani bas badale jamaana
(aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun) – (2)

mohabbat dislan baaji, puraani hokar taaji
you never see it going old
mohabbat se rab raaji, dilon ki saude baaji
before you know it ur heart is sold
naino ne ladana ladana, panga bhi badhana badhana
jhadge mein naino ke yeh dil lut jaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ek oy kahaani bas badale jamaana
aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun

kaddi te has bol ve, na jind saddi ron ve – (2)

nishaaniya na khoni hain, soni hai saanson mein pinori hai baate teri
hairaaniya halaton ki raaato ki teri mulakaato ki baato ki
baaton ne chalana chalana, raaton ne jagana jagana
jalake mohabbato mein phir jut jaana
ankh lad jaana, mar mukh jaana, ek oy kahaani bas badale jamaana
(aahun aahun aahun, aahun aahun aahun
aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun aahun) – (2)

Hindi Lyrics

yeh duriyaan, yeh duriyaan, yeh duriyaan inn raaho ki duriyaan
nigaaho ki duriyaan, hum raaho ki duriyaan
fanaah ho sabhi duriyaan
kyun koyi paas hai, dur hai, kyun koyi jaane na koyi yahan pe
aa raha paas ya dur main ja raha, jaanu na main hoon kahaan pe
yeh duriyaan, inn raaho ki duriyaan
nigaaho ki duriyaan, hamrahon ki duriyaan
fanaah ho sabhi duriyaan
yeh duriyaan, yeh duriyaan, yeh duriyaan….
kabhi huwa yeh bhi, khaali raaho pe bhi tu tha mere saath
kabhi tujhe milake lauta mera dil yeh khaali khaali haath
yeh bhi huwa kabhi jaise huwa aabhi, tujhako sabhi mein paa liya
tera mujhe kar jaati hai duriyaan, sataati hain duriyaan
tarsaati hain duriyaan, fanaah ho sabhi duriyaan

kaha bhi na maine, nahi jina maine tu jo na mila
tujhe bhule se bhi bola na maine chaahu faasala
bas faasala rahe, banake kasak jo kahe
ho aur chaahat yeh jawaan
teri meri mit jaani hai duriyaan, begaani hai duriyaan
hat jaani duriyaan, fanaah ho sabhi duriyaan
kyun koyi paas hai dur hai, kyun koyi jaane na koyi yahaan pe
aa raha paas ya dur main ja raha, jaanu na main hoon kahaan pe
yeh duriyaan, inn raahon ki duriyaan
nigaaho ki duriyaan, hamraaho ki duriyaan
fanaah ho sabhi duriyaan
yeh duriyaan, yeh duriyaan

la la la la la… ho gayi re, baithe baithe baithe baithe ho gai re
la la la la la… ho gayi re
?? tussi bhi gaao na

la la la la la… ho gayi re, baithe baithe baithe baithe ho gai re-2
kudi hoyi mutiyaar, aayi roop ki bahaar
chhaya saaj shingaar, chhad nikali bajaar
la la la la la… ho gayi re, baithe baithe baithe baithe ho gai re-2
aaha aaha aaha aaha aaha………
munde huye pareshaan, dekh roop ki dukaan
bole bhaari hai samaan, ?? makaan
la la la la la… ho gayi re, baithe baithe baithe baithe ho gai re-2
dekhe mujhako woh aane bahaane, pichhe aaye gali naapata
munda hai woh ya jhonka hawa ka, kya pata
yuun lage har ghadi har jagah woh, mujhako rahe dhundata
munda hai woh ya jhonka hawa ka, kya pata
ho pichha bhi na chhode mera, chuppi bhi na tode
keh bhi na paaye dilwaali o sawaali mere dil ka
mere dil ka huwa aisa mehram thoda thoda pyaar aa gaya – (2)
shaava aaha shaava aaha
la la la la la… ho gayi re, baithe baithe baithe baithe ho gai re-2
ek gabaru jawaan kaisa huwa beimaan

dhunde usaki nigaahein kya mujhamein kya pata
sochu keh du badan pe tu mere yuun chhuri si najr na chala
dhunde usaki nigaahein kya mujhamein kya pata
o o o ektak dekhe mujhe thandi saans leke
parda ho jaise rakhwaali mere dil ka
mere dil ka huwa aisa mehram thoda thoda pyaar aa gaya – (2)

shaava aaha shaava aaha
