Hullo Atuldom
A few phrases and idioms are coming to my mind as I sit to write this post.
“Chip off the old block” meaning “jaisa baap waisa beta”. I am talking of an actor who is representing Gen”X” of the family of entertainers, following in the footsteps of his father, uncles, grandfather, granduncles, great grandfather and great great grandfather. In fact a few of his cousins are also active in carrying the family flag of entertaining the country with their acting talents. This is one talented clan.
But I will not use the public’s favorite word ‘Nepotism’ here because being a star son will only help you get an entry to the producers’ and production house’s offices. They may be nice to you and offer you a role too but after that it is purely the business that the film generates and how much that the audience loves you that decides which direction your career goes. We can name any number of actors whose careers have fallen by the roadside for want of success.
Coming back to the “chip of the old block” that I started the post with, he started out as an assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali when he made “Black” (2005). Sanjay Leela Bhansali also gave him his debut film “Saawariya” in 2007 for which the music director was Monty Sharma, another person trying his hand at carrying the family flag- he is Pyarelal Sharma’s nephew.
We are here wishing Ranbir Kapoor on his 38th birthday. He is as versatile as any other of his family in emoting, comedy, dance and every aspect of acting. He has had a fair bit of successful movies and he was simply amazing in the comic climax at the villain’s den in the movie “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Dastaan”. He was able to stay in step with Madhuri in the “ghagra” song. He is the recipient of awards for various categories. He was fortunate to have worked with his parents in “Besharam” and also his granduncle in “Rockstar”.
I am a little confused as to which will be an appropriate song to go with this post, because the songs in his movies had good lyrics, choreography and were all eye-pleasing. I am going to settle for a song from “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani” which has lyrics by Irshad Kamil and music by Pritam Chakraborty. The movie was a remake of a 2005 Telugu hit and got Ranbir a critics award of best actor. Rajkumar Santoshi was the director and Katrina Kaif, Upen Patel, Darshan Jariwal, Smita Jaykar, Govind Namdeo and Zakir Hussain as the don who has a gang that cannot do anything right. Ranbir and Katrina played characters that have a speech problem every time they get emotional.
I find the names of singers who are new to me – Naresh, Atif Aslam, Soham Chakraborty, Kailash Kher (this one I have heard for some time now) and Ashish Pandit. This is an all-male song.
kaise bataayen
kyun tujhko chaahe
yaraa bata na paaye
baatein dilon ki
dekho zubaani
aankhen tujhe samjhaayen
tu jaane naa aa aa
tu jaane naa
tu jaane naa aa aa
tu jaane naa
milke bhi hum na mile
tumse na jaane kyun
milon ke hai faasle
tumse na jaane kyun
anjaane hain silsile
tumse na jaane kyun
sapne hain palkon tale
tumse na jaane kyun oon oon
kaise bataayen
kyun tujhko chaahen
yaraa bata naa paayen (aaaaa)
baatein dilon ki (aaaa)
dekho zubaani
aankhen tujhe samjhaaye
tu jaane na aa aa(aaaaa)
tu jaane na (aaaa)
tu jaane na aa aa (aaaaa)
tu jaane na (aaaa)
nigaahon mein dekho meri jo hai bas gaya
wo hai milta tumse hu bahu
ho o o
jaane teri aankhen thi ya baatein thi wajah
huye tum jo dil ki aarzoo
tum paas hoke bhi
tum aas hoke bhi ee
ehsaas hoke bhi apne nahim
aise hain hamko gile
tumse na jaane kyun
meelon ke hai faasle
tumse na jaane kyun oon oon
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na
o jaane na jaane na jaane na aa
haan aan
tu jaane na
khyaalon mein laakhon baatein yoon toh keh gaya aa
bola kuchh na tere saamne
o o o
huye na begaane bhi tum hoke aur ke ae
dekho tum na mere hi bane
afsos hota hai
dil bhi ye rota hai ae
sapne sanjota hai
pagla hua soche ye
hum thhe mile
tumse na jaane kyun
meelon ke hain faasle
tum se na jaane kyun
anjaane hain silsile
tumse na jaane kyun
sapne hain palkon tale
tumse na jaane kyun oon oon
kaise bataayen
kyu tujhko chaahen
yaraa bata na paayen
baatein dilon ki
dekho zubaan ki
aankhen tujhe samjhaayen
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na,
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na,
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na
tu jaane na aa aa
tu jaane na
Today a new record has been made in the blog, two post for both you and me. This has to be the first such occurrence. What say, want to try two more for tomorrow ?
This song is shot in nice locations, but the rest of the movie was shot in Ramoji Film city. Was it only last year when I visited Hyderabad and Ramoji Film city…. where I was reminded of this movie.
Tu Jane na – Unplugged by Kailash Kher, Paresh Kamath, Naresh Kamath is this one :
Wonderfully written!! I feel some celebrity’s birthdays mask another one’s. For eg., Lal Bahadur Shastriji, not remembered as much as Mahatma Gandhiji. And here, with Lataji’s birthday, Ranbir Kapoor’s had escaped my mind. Same is the case with God’s! Preparations for Ganesh chaturthi begins so early, that Krishna Janmashtami gets slightly cornered. 😀. The song that I always associate with Ranbir Kapoor is…..Kabira.
This blog discusses Bollywood songs of yesteryears. Every song has a brief description, followed by a video link, and complete lyrics of the song.
This is a labour of love, where “new” songs are added every day, and that has been the case for over FOURTEEN years. This blog has over 17800 song posts by now.
This blog is active and online for over 5000 days since its beginning on 19 july 2008.

http://myswar.co/song_details/ajab-prem-ki-ghazab-kahani-2009-tu-jaane-na-reprise-8
This is a multiple version song for sure. This was a staple on F. M. Radio channels, but it was forgotten after a while.
