Dhan Te Nan! Kaminey: Music Review
So way back in February I went to see Delhi-6 and the first thing I see is the trailer of Kaminey with that mind-blowing Dhan Te Nan song in the background. Called my cousin and here went our conversation:
“Oh. My. GOD! I just saw this awesome trailer. Oh my god! Kyaa mast song hai!! Dhan Te Nan!”
“Achaa ji?”
“Arrey haan! Check YouTube naa!”
“Kyaa type karoon?”
“Kaminey type karo naa!”
Gasp.
“Type kiyaa?”
Silence.
“Oye gaali nahin de rahi hoon, bhaiyaa! Movie kaa naam Kaminey hai!”
Sigh of relief. “Oh! Achaa. Haan, abhi search maartaa hoon.”
Yeh aaj kal ke film titles bhi naa. Badde tricky situations mei daal dete hai, I tell you :-D
Bas ji Delhi-6 ki viewing se le kar July 6 tak, I…
waited
and…
waited
and…
waited
for the music to come out (yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m ALSO waiting for the movie to come out, duh!). And, Dhan Te Nan!, the music is finally out, and I am all ears!
Dhan Te Nan!
Abbey ek dum songs thoddi naa sunoongi! Pehle CD back cover ko thodaa saa nihaar toh loon. Vishal Bhardwaj. Waah! Gulzar. Waah, waah! Sukhwinder Singh–Vishal Dadlani–Dominique Cerejo–Mohit Chauhan–Robert Bob Omulo–Sunidhi Chauhan–Rekha Bhardwaj–Suresh Wadekar–Kunal Ganjawala–Earl–Kailash Kher. Waah, waah, waah! Chalo BAHUT ho gayaa! Ab kyaa fine print bhi padhoon? lol. Time to blast ‘em 8 songs on my betaab speakers!
Dhan Te Nan (4.41) is The Song of the month. Sukhwinder Singh, Vishal Dadlani, and Robert Bob Omulo come together with music director Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Gulzar and the result: Mind-blowingly AWEFOME! Yup, Dhan Ta Nan does bring back memories of Pink Panther, James Bond, and even RD Burman. Music with attitude has always been Bhardwaj’s forte, and attitude is exactly what oozes out of this song. Yes, music is a collaborative effort, but I think it is Dadlani who truly, truly shines with his energy-intense rendition. I loved the sound of a gullakh being smashed in the background and even the random “Stereo-Radio-I’m a superstar” lyrics were cool. Gulzar is a lyricist who has really adapted well to the changes in Indian audiences. My favorite stanza would have to be—
Koi chaal aisi chalo yaar ab ke samundar bhi pul par challey,
Phir tu challey usspe, yaa main chaloon, shehar ho apne pairon talley.
Kayi khabrey hain,
Kayi kabrey hain,
Jo bhi soye hai kabron mein unko jagaanaa nahin!
This is one song I just wanna leave on a nonstop loop!!
Erm, what’s that? Oh. There are still 7 more tracks…
The Dhan Te Nan Remix (4.03), produced by Abhijit Vaghani (who also contributes the male rap), mixed by Aftab Khan, with additional lyrics by Dominique Cerejo (who also sings a brief portion of the remix) is certainly VERY unlike other remixes which just add a couple of extra dhin-chak-dhin-chak percussion arrangements and keep the rest of the song intact. But……WHY would I listen to the remix when the original composition is soooooooooo damn GOOD!!!!
Mohit Chauhan! Mohit Chauhan! Mohit Chauhan! He’s singing–Pehli Baar Mohabbat (5.24). Okay, I KNOW most of you are in love with this song, but after Tum Se Hi, Masakkali, Gulon Mein, I cannot say that I’m a huge fan of this song…In fact, I REALLY wish Vishal Bhardwaj had sung this song himself…There is this unique, calming, soft, sluggish sort of intoxicating quality to Bhardwaj’s voice which would have been perfect for this romantic song. I like the use of the piano. I like the use of strings and the build up and release of tension before and during the refrain…And, I like the “soye voye” casual lyrics which fits in well with the initial awkwardness and acknowledgement of being in love. Nonetheless, I’m still NOT remotely as crazy about this song as everyone else seems to be.
Out of the song credits to Raat Ke Dhai Baje (4.31)—Sunidhi Chauhan, Rekha Bhardwaj, Suresh Wadekar, Kunal Ganjawala, Earl—it was Rekha Bhardwaj’s name which first stood out for me. Rone Do, Chingaari, Haal-e-Dil, Raanaaji, Genda Phool are just some of the songs she’s lent her gorgeous, rustic voice to. I like her gun-gunaanaa at the beginning and the band-baajaa flavor to the song. I mean if I were to hear this song as an instrumental version, I’d really enjoy it. But, I feel the lyrics were kinda crammed in/forced to fit the duration of the song and even the singing isn’t that great…an ordinary track from the music director who most of the times delivers extra-ordinary.
I did, however, like the lines, “ishq mein jalte hue saans tezaabi lage…raaz khulta hi nahin, koi toh chaabi lage” and “chikne chikne lachhe hain reshmi se phandey, chupdi chupdi baaton mein bhole bhaale bandey.”
The Raat Ke Dhai Baje Remix (4.18), produced by Abhijit Vaghani, mixed by Aftab Khan, with rap vocal by Earl, is a bit more peppier, stronger on percussion beats. Unlike in most cases, I actually enjoy the remix much more than the original composition!
Dhan Ta Nan! I proudly present a new initiative taken by PFC to lighten the atmosphere—it’s called The-PFC-Joke-Of-The-Day-Initiative.
Pappu went to a quiz contest. He was just about to win 1 crore BUT, sooooo sad, Pappu-can’t-win-saalaa because he got the last question WRONG. The question? List ten worth-listening-to OSTs of 2009. Why did Pappu lose?
Socho…
Socho toh…
Arrey socho naa!…
Because even though we are in JULY, there AREN’T ten non-crappy OSTs to listen to!
As the Sardar ji in OLLO says, “Vaisey zyaadaa hasne waalaa joke nahin thaa yeh.” :-)
The sounds of the whip in Fatak (5.30) is innovative. Actually, the entire song is innovative. I’m sure everyone knows by now that the song uses the word “bhawraa” to refer to AIDS. Good public service attempt in the form of music!! Vishal Bhardwaj also made a short film called Blood Brothers, part of AIDS JaaGo. Anyway, the song is quite catchy. Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher do a great job singing…the song creates a village sort of setting. Reminds me of Kash Laga meets Beedi Jalaile :-)
Thank God! Bhardwaj takes the microphone for this dramatic, symphonic, maahaa-melodious song called Kaminey (5.57). Usually one thinks of kaminey used in an offensive sense (well, among friends in a more chhedd-chhaad sense). But, the way Bhardwaj sings the song, you just can’t find fault with use of the word. I wish more music directors would ask Bhardwaj to sing for them. I like the way he sings as if he’s in no rush to get through the song…it’s calming and peaceful…Very, very interesting lyrics by Gulzar (although I have been extremely brainwashed after listening to Piyush Mishra’s lyrics in Gulaal, lol), such as:
Kyaa kare zindagi
Issko hum jo miley
Isski jaan khaa gaye
Raat din ke giley
Meri aarzoo kameenee
Mere khwaab bhi kaminey
Ek dil se dosti thi
Yeh hazoor bhi kaminey
Kabhi zindagi se maangaa
Pinjare mein chaand laa do
Kabhi laalten de ke
Kaha aasmaan pe taango
Jis kaa bhi chehra cheelaa
Andar se aur niklaa
Maasoom saa kabootar
Naachaa toh mor niklaa
Kabhi hum kaminey nikle
Kabhi doosre kaminey
There are some movies that just have really neat background scores and theme music (the usual suspects being RD Burman’s work and now Rahman’s work). And, we have some more wickedly amazing theme music in the form of Go Charlie Go (2.10). I simply adore the trumpets!
Okay. So, now that I’ve gone through all 8 tracks…it’s confession time…YES, Kaminey has some really cool compositions (read: Dhan Te Nan and Kaminey Title Track and Fatak), BUT I can NOT say it is an entirely fuper OST…yes, it’s definitely a high quality OST compared to Kambakkht Trash, and since I’m a HUGE Bhardwaj fan I’m probablly gonna keep listening to the songs until they grow on me, but I can’t say it’s as enjoyable as No Smoking , Omkara, The Blue Umbrella (I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen this film, lol!), Mabool, Maachis…It’s definitely many notches up than U, Me, Aur Hum (which gave a lot of musical gham). It’s definitely fun to listen to and enjoy initially…but it lacks the immortal magic quality which music lovers like me look for in OSTs and relish…
Oh God…the wrath of PFC readers is gonna come down upon me big time, he he. Or, maybe not?
Koi Good Luck nikaale,
Aaj gullakh toh phodde.
Dhan Te Nan!

ur review is almost an opposite of mine
but some positives which I forgot to mention in my review are present in urs like even I liked the english part of Dhan Te Nan ..”Radio-Stereo , am a superstar” …. i comprehended “I am a superstar” from the remix version of the song …cheers!!
Amanda-ji.. Your review would probably be more matchin to mine, than Saurabh’s….
Dhan Te Naan toh bas chhaaya hua hai, har jigah… and especially after they’re showin d full video of the song… it rocks more…
yea i agree with u on Pehli Baar Mohabbat… Gulon Mein, Masakalli, Guncha, Tumse Hi are better than this one… but its still not bad listening to… there’s somethin wid Mohit Chauhan’s songs… I end up liking most of them…
Kaminey title track is just so different, who would have used the word “Kaminey” for all the things its been used here… bravo Gulzaar saab, and hats off to Vishal, for singing and composin it so beautifully….
Fatak is again, really creative…. loved the concept…
They aren’t as catchy as Dev D… but they grow on you like anything…last 3 days only kaminey in my car stereo and dhan te nan…in infinte loop
Gheelahari ke jhoote matar khaye the… Who else can come up with such lyrics… Gulzar’s lyrics used to perfectly compliment RD’s and now Rahman and Vishal.
Best thing about Gulzar’s lyrics is that everyone can interpret them with their own past and existence. They’re so layered.
BTW, I have a feeling that the music of this film doesn’t have to be sufer awesome because the film is so promising and the music shouldn’t become bigger than the film. They got the DhanTana song going which will do what Emotional attayachar did to Dev.D
nice post Amanda… well the same was the case with me when i went to watch Delhi 6 or ab jaake rahat mili hai… and now greatest wait is for 14 Aug…hum intezar karenge… hum intezar karenge Kaminey tera 14 Aug. tak….
arrey baap i just love it…
For someone like yours truly who loved Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega soundtrack, this is a treat! Come on guys, look at the theme of the film!! Why do you expect Omkara or Maqbool from this? Let your hair lose and just Fatak. ;)
that was honest.
I agree 100% here. So bottomline. Two good song fatak and kaminey. One exceptional song need i tell you which.
Others are good but i wont remember them after 2 weeks of the release.
So an average album from Bharadwaj considering the music of his previous movies.
But considering the crap we have been fed recently (After gulaal and delhi-6) a welcome break.
I do not this is an average album, it is one of the great works, Vishal is Aided with gulzar.
@Nick
Others are good but i wont remember them after 2 weeks of the release.
Man you will have to wait till release topassthat judgement, anyway i have beem listening to songs from past one month and i still love the album.
@Saurabh: I enjoyed reading your review a lot, too. Although, I don’t think our reviews are completely opposite—I found a lot of positive aspects to the compositions which I also addressed in my review.
@Cherish: Yup, I’m also listening to Kaminey’s songs nonstop combined with Kailasa Chaandan Mein.
@Shoaib: Nice to hear your thoughts about the music. The songs are definitely innovative–Gulzar’s lyrics really are outstanding.
@Neeraj: Haan, that’s the beauty of good poetry–it is open to multiple interpretations. I dunno if “music shouldn’t become bigger than the film”…there are many great films in which the music is just as great…
…I think I might end up liking the songs much much more after seeing the film–the same thing happened to me with B&W–didn’t really like the songs much initially, saw the film (absolutely hated the film) but ended up really liking the songs!
@Akash: Thanks :-) I can’t wait to see the film!!!
@Salik: Good to know you enjoyed the OST.
@Tejas: LKLKBK! OMG! I love that film. I used to adore the Aslam Bhai and Raamaa Raamaa songs, but, then again, I was a kid then and would even enjoy a song like Pappu Pager :-D
No, I’m not expecting an Omkara or Maqbool for Kaminey’s music-I like it when artists reinvent themselves. I’m just saying that it’s not as easily and instantly enjoyable as Omkara and Maqbool’s music (which I STILL listen to) and I highly doubt I’ll be listening to most of the songs years later like I listen to Bhardwaj’s previous compositions. But, that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t enjoy the songs in the present moment.
@Cinemausher: Past one month?! Kyaa? Lekin music toh abhi recently release huaa hai!!!
@Nick: “Average” is a bit too harsh, lol! The music is definitely very innovative and is high-quality, which makes it above average.
Okay, I think people are misunderstanding my review, maybe because they didn’t read it that closely. I am NOT saying the Kaminey OST is bad. In fact, I’ve praised it quite a lot, and have found positive aspects to even the compositions I wasn’t crazy about. I’m just saying that the songs give you an initial high and then the excitement for the songs kinda decreases, unlike with Maqbool, Omkara and the likes where the songs are still so enjoyable to listen to (in other words, we know Bhardwaj is capable of delivering much more!). Nonetheless, an OST does not have to always be a 10 out of 10 in order to be good—I strongly recommend everyone listens to Kaminey and the CD is definitely worth adding to your collection since most likely there will only be a handful of OSTs even remotely near the quality of Kaminey.
mohit chauhan really disappoints in ‘pehli baar mohabbat’ .. especially the way he pronounces “thhey” in “Gheelahari ke jhoote matar khaye thhey” .. . he sings “thhaay” … seems like a firang is singing that song.. otherwise its OK.
I remember seeing the tracklist over and over again to check if the song playing is indeed ‘kaminey’ .. i was expecting a dhinchak song given the title .. but it was a nice surprise
I can say that this soundtrack is indeed above average .. though, acc to me the only 2009 soundtracks worth repeated hearing are Delhi 6 (the best in recent years) and Dev D.
Come on! Come on! Come on! How can someone NOT like ‘Pehli Baar Mohabbat’ by Mohit. Specially, when it rains and you walk alone. This has to be Mohit’s best romantic song since Tum Se Hi!
Don’t get me wrong .. its a beautiful song .. but his singing in it is just not working for me .. it seems he’s just trying too hard ..
Never mind Yogi, I didn’t direct it at you. I am just so happy to love a song so much after such a long time, that I hate anyone contradicting my feelings!
@Yogi: You forgot to add Gulaal to that list!!!
@Tanul: So it’s been raining in Chicago, eh? But yeah, I can understand your point about hating it when someone contradicts your feelings about a song you really like. If someone told me they hate Dhan Te Nan, my reaction would be far from pleasant :-D
Oh I hate ‘Dhan Te Na’!
Just kidding, Amanda rani :-)
Maine soundtrack suna hi kahan hain man?!!
Not heard ANYTHING in a long time :-(
But even i’ve waited for this.
The song has stuck from the trailers, but does anyone else hear ‘Pulp Fiction’ in that song?
I mean, a ‘Pulp Fiction’ influence?
I have no idea what that song was called, but ‘Dhan Te Nan’s music is very reminicent of that…
You know what…I always used to think ‘Dhan te nannnnnnn’ as ‘Tan te dannnnnnnnnnn’ whenever I heard it…LOL!! Really yaar lyrics pe utni nazar nahi hoti…even more when its some chorus or like a opera in background….Lekin lekin lekin…apki andaz…wah! haan..likhe ki andaz…wohbhi lyrics pe ithna concentration-mixed-focus-mixed-excitement pe hum fida…everytime its bang-on!!! Just heard….’tan de dannnnnnn..’ and thats some song….you know….now I hope someone will say that the MD is Vishalllll….haan Vishal Bharadwaj….dont forget him yaar, guys pleajjjj….
Adios…
Hey Amanda,
I agree with most of the things you said. I have been playing the title track over and over again. Even the symphony plays in that order between the two stanzas in my mind.
This is my favourite album still I could not say its the best because in my play list, the soundtrack follows Arambh and Duniya Ri, so I absolutely relate to what you said.
I liked the lyrics a lot….
“Masoom sa Kabootar, Nacha to Mor Nikala” and he sings the second line in both the stanzas diffeerently that gives a beautiful effect to this line.
I havent waited for any movie so long this year.
i wiFh i get to Fee this Foon.
Jay
Erm? Is the general opinion that the soundtrack of ‘U, Me Aur Hum’ was average??
I LOVED IT!!
It was wasted in an average film, but the music was fab!
I did want to shoot Ajay for shooting the songs like that!
Satya naash ho uska!
Just heard the album ,except for Dhan Te Tan others do not make the cut, it’s not that the songs are not good, they are hummable and nice but do not stand out, and will be forgotten within a week or two after the release.
@Steve: Koi baat nahin, you can catch up on all the music at once :-) Ji haan, I did NOT like the U, Me, Aur Hum OST. Jee Le is the only song from that OST I still listen to. The Saiyaan song: b-o-r-i-n-g!!! And the film…ewww, I don’t even wanna think about the film. Pataa nahin kaise maine dekh liyaa thaa :-(
@Jay: Hey! Yes, those lines from the Kaminey Title Track really are beautiful. Gulaal, Dev D, Delhi-6, Sikandar, Kailasa Chaandan Mein are the only 2009 OSTs/albums worth listening to, and also Love Aaj Kal and now Kaminey. Other OSTs and albums just have 2-3 good songs (like the Luck OST), sometimes only 1 good song, and the rest of the songs are terrible or average.
@Sridhar: Aww, thanks! Touch ho gayi, by gawd :-)
@Vineet: Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hey Amanda,
Please don’t call U Me n Hum a musical gham, not with Vishal’s version of the title track sitting there!
@Vivek: That’s great that there are people who appreciate U Me Aur Hum’s music…I’ll just have to respectfully disagree–just having 1-2 good compositions in an ENTIRE OST does not make the OST memorable (which is why I used the term musical gham)…
@Jay: I forgot to add Jashnn to that list!
Fantastic review amanda-jee ;-)
BTW..help me here…has ever Rekha and Sunidhi sung together before?
Raat ke is my current fav…suresh wadkar’s voice is weird in this number..but its a good weird..plus rekha..sunidhi and kunal’s…
Thank you, OM Jee ;-)
I think ‘Raat Ke Dhai Baje’ is the first song Rekha and Sunidhi are singing together.
another VISHAL magic!!!! bang! bang!
How i wish Vishal should have introduced satire in the music of Pehli Baar Mohabbat song. Lyrics can be interpreted in an another way too
“Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai, aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai”.. this can imply this too “ki ab bahut hua, ek baar kar liye kaafi hai, ab aur mohabbat na hogi humse” – much in the same manner as rannvijay singh would have told.
Interesting…
Satire chaahiye lyrics mei toh you’ll have to revisit Piyush Mishra’s songs in Gulaal :-)
ranvijay singh aur kuch bhi bolte ki “ye hi-bye type ka pyar humse nahi ho sakta
“…
“hi-bye type ka pyar” LOL!!!
“Meri aarzoo kameenee
Mere khwaab bhi kaminey
Ek dil se dosti thi
Yeh hazoor bhi kaminey”
Awesome…ek dam dil ki baat likh diya hai…kaminey title song is going to be cult(my POV
)… thanks for review.
Dhan Ta Nan copied from Musirlou. Check it out
http://blog.adarsh.me/2009/07/dhan-ta-nan-pulp-fiction-misirlou.html
It is amazing!!! the song just climbs up your senses.. I remember i was in a serious meeting with Mckinsey & Co yeasterday and in midst of it I actually said- Dhan te nan..terra ne ne naaan…
Lolz
:-) Wow, Ekta…kaafi musical meeting thi, hai naa? lol!
i have started loving the re-mix of dhan-te-naan too..it is awesome…the music is just growing on me…and if you observed..most of it covers a love story…with kaminey title..i am sooo excited to watch this movie…
Sorry Vivek and Adarsh…i don’t think it is a copy of “Pulp”..it does get inspiration from Pulp, James bond and even spiderman(original) track…but its in its own here..touch not!!! better not!!!!!
dhan te nan’s opening sounds similar to some song of cash
agree with u..Barring Dhana Tan other songs do not exactly meet the high standards set by Vishal in his previous albums like Maachis,Jahan Tum le Chalo,Chupke Se,No smoking,Blue Umbrella..But this album is definitely better than ‘U Me Aur Hum’..The sax in ‘Kaminey’ song was excellant.
Yup, I’m still enjoying Dhan Te Nan and the Kaminey Title Track! “The sax in Kaminey song was excellent” Arrey! The ENTIRE song is excellent! :-)
VB could have done a better job with the songs..Dhan te Nan and Kaminey are my favourite…i love the way title track flows…esp these lines
Jiska bhi chehra cheela,
andar se aur nikla,
masooom sa kabootar,
naacha toh more nikla..
I hope its one of those movies..where in the songs grow on you, while/after you watch the movie…like ARR songs…
Cant wait to see the movie..
Yes the “maasoon saa kabootar, naachaa toh mor niklaa” lines are really very touching. Haan, ho saktaa hai that the rest of the songs will be much more enjoyable after seeing the film. I just can’t wait for the film to release!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the first time Vishal’s music has disappointed me fully. Gulzar’s poetry is going for a six. He seems to be on drugs. Makes me feel sad. Sukhwinder is a mediocre singer. He is slotted as a singer. And he gets slotted because he is mediocre.
“sukhwinder is a mediocre singer” ? gulzar “seems to be on drugs”?! DRUGS?…ummm, of course you’re entitled to your own opinion, but isn’t that a tad bit too harsh? let’s be civil please.
“Jiska bhi chehra chheela” – chheela? Lahaul! Laanat bhejiye aisi shayari par.
Dhan te nan is copied frm pump it by the black eyed peas!!
Heard black-eyed peas pump it. No the song is not copied from PI by the BEP. But that does not make it a better song. It remains a poor song all said and done. Gulzar get away with murder – always! ‘Chappa chappa charkha chale’ – the man has obviously no idea how the charkha spins. He bakes his ‘makke ki roti’ in ‘tandoor’ – that is hilarious. It happens only in Chandni Chowk and nowhere else in India. His ‘kuri meri sapne mein milti hai’ is so wonky that it becomes almost incestuous. His ‘auni pauni yaari’ is more appropriately applicable to his shayari which is adhkachari. And yes PFC – otherwise a fantastic forum – can do with better music reviews.
It’s quite easy to tell an author their writing sucks. But neither the reader nor the author benefits from that–specific and constructive feedback is the key…
Sure, it’s a shame people like you who are so gunni-gyaani in music don’t contribute to help PFC “do with better music reviews.”
I have at least given at least 4 examples of how culturally wrong Gulzar is. What is constructive criticism – unadulterated praise? And gooey much ado about nothing? Forgive me for being blunt but there is not one music related thing you have said in your review.
Nahin Idris, by definition “unadulterated praise” is not constructive criticism. But your saying Gulzar, one of India’s celebrated lyricists, is ON DRUGS just sounds like Gulzar-bashing. You might not find one ounce of poetic beauty in the lyrics you’ve mentioned, but there are plenty of people who do find his lyrics beautiful, who are moved by his poetry…one can’t say that just because they don’t find anything beautiful in an artist’s work that NO ONE is entitled to appreciate it…
anyway, just out of curiosity, what are some recent Hindi songs which you think have good lyrics?
Bhai Amanda behen, shayari ke paimaane kya hain? What are the references against which we evaluate poetry. 1) language? Gulzar is often good but is at times horribly wonky, nay bad; 2) Cultural memory? His poetry is full of bad cultural references from Punjab – or so my Punjabi friends (whose judgment I trust) tell me; 3) popular cultural refernces? sorry but the gen x far excels anything that Gulzar Sa’ab may have to offer today – look at Oye Lucky Lucky Oye or Dev D; 4) Popularity? that dear sister is the most deceptive of all measures. Gulzar has never been more popular than Anand Bakshi but that doesn’t make AB a better shayar. And finally, you have a great gift for diverting the issue. If nothing works you go into mock self-flagellation. This is not a very healthy sign.
Basis of your expectation is flawed. Hindi/Bollywood filmy music is not supposed to be the place where you should expect classically correct music or classically correct shayari. It is a commercial place to market the finished music product. We should not be comparing apples and oranges.
*Gulzar GETS away with murder – always!

good songs sexy songs
I would ask you to listen to english songs as well; Dhan te nan is a straight forward rip off from Blak eyed peas-Pump it; maybe this was Vishal dadlani’s idea as he ripped of a black eyed peas song for the movie cash!!
Dude, good morning.
Mubaarak ho! You are person number 6 to point that out on this review.
