We are all witnessing the changing music trend in Bollywood, I'm talking about the trend of adding Punjabi song in Bollywood films. It has become so common that every now and then we get to hear a Punjabi song in a film and most often the track goes on to become a great hit all thanks to the energetic music. Well to me that's the need of the hour too! people are fed up of romantic duet songs they need something that lifts their energy. Literally speaking both romantic and duet songs sound low class. That's what I think (No offence).
Omg! this is exactly what my IELTS teacher would have expected from me, A perfect formal introduction!...:)
The increasing passion of people towards this music has given lot opportunities to some of the Punjabi singers to come to Bollywood and sing with some of the world class music directors and singers too and biggest example is Mika, not the British one! but its Daler Mehndi's brother Mika (Rakhi Sawant wala!). Now he is so popular that every 1 out of 2 movies has his song. I don't understand why the music directors chose him over so many other great singers! I personally don't like him at all and so does the most of the Punjab.
Talking about Punjabi music in Punjab well its mostly Honey Singh who's giving the music, the hits and the headlines for all good and bad reasons. He's THE best music director in Punjab right now but he's sometimes criticised for raps, a lot recently. His songs are like Indian railways where no one knows when its gonna strike the charts but ones it comes its as exciting as rail journeys and some times as dangerous too (rare adult songs)..:P
The guy is from my district *Proudly*..:)
He's been recently in headlines for his album "International villager" which even after 10 months of its release is doing far better then other new albums and is all over radio channels even in U.A.E
There are rumours that he has been paid the highest fees ever for a Bollywood song (70 Lakh), don't know the song though.
And also recently released Punjabi film "Jatt and Juliet" has become an all time blockbuster, having shattered all the records in Punjab the movie is also a great success overseas and even after 3 weeks of its release some of its shows are still houseful even in Delhi. The film grossed around 20 crores from just around 180 screens world wide. Just compare it with hindi movies which are released at average on around 1200 screens and also when there are very few people in this world who are interested in Punjabi cinema. We slowly but surely picking up.
That's it for now... Ohh and the trailer of upcoming hindi movie "Son of Sardar" is out go check it out if you haven't seen it yet, Its really funny!
Chalo bhai Tata mera!..:P

Nice post! Yeah these days I think most of our music is punjabi inspired, and Mika Singh is all over, Saala har movie ek na ek song toh hoga Iska. Personally I don't like him. And about Honey singh, I listened to only a few songs of his, he's good.
And rest, I don't even know the Abc of Punjabi Movies :P
