All about Bollywood star Aamir Khan's Delhi Belly, movie and songs review

Aamir Khan in Delhi Belly
The soundtrack of Delhi Belly makes no pretensions. It is meant to be weird and often crass and that’s exactly what you get. Your favorite summer album is here.

The opening number – Bhaag DK Bose – is already a cult hit. Sung by Ram Sampath, it’s an instantly catchy number with its funny lyrics – packed with double entendres – and fast-paced fusion rock music. There’s not much else to say about this one since it’s already so well known. If you haven’t heard it yet, watch the music video.



On the heels of the rocking first track comes a mock qawwali in the form of Nakkadwaley Disco, Udharwaley Khisko. Singer Keerthi Sagathia excels in this number, varying his inflections and emotions. He keeps the song perfectly balanced between the conventions of a qawwali and the Gen-X angst-ridden Hinglish words. 


The song’s trailer of Delhi Belly, already doing the rounds, visualizes the song quite well. The DK Bose song might be fun but this song beats it. Plus, what better way to teach the teenybopper generation a random Hindi word like ‘Nakkadwaley’ (it means ‘Those who pay in cash,’ in case you were wondering). Like many other actors you can see the Childhood pictures of bollywood stars  of Aamir Khan too.

Continuing the roll of winning tracks is Saigal Blues. If you have grown up being forced by your parents to listen to the songs of K.L. Saigal, then this track is your justice served. Crooned amazingly by Chetan Shashital, this song adds a blues twist to the legendary late singer’s trademark style. Long story short, it’s a K.L. Saigal-esque song made cool enough for the current generation to get hooked on.
Bedardi Raja has a rustic folk sound, and seems to be designed as an item number. Sona Mohapatra, with a zinger of a voice, does the honors here. The song is playful and Mohapatra at times reminds of the sultry voice of Rekha Bhardwaj, which can only mean great things for her career. The article about childhood pictures of bollywood stars will give u a chance of watching them as babies.
However, the song itself seems quite ordinary compared to the impact of the first three tracks. TheGrind Mix version adds some more beats but sounds pretty similar overall.
