Piddly si baatein……
The Television was on….I was walking by….when something hit
me…..
The words, The
song….The voice…and…ahem…The Location!! :)
….The Words….catchy, uncommon, evoking curiosity….
….The Song….softly foot tapping music, one that you can sing
along with, better than raw rap, soothing to senses I must say :)…
….The Voice…that is one in a billion and can be recognized
by any Indian anywhere on the globe. Of course, of course, belonging to who
other than the Bollywud Yugpurush, Amitabh Bacchchan. :)
….The Location- ye sabse khatarnaak ha bhailog…Amitji is
sitting on The Seat [aasaan bhaasha me…err..Commode!!!]….yes that’s exactly
where he is…singing this song, using the Hand-shower as Mike!!! :))))
Lo bolo…hai naa khatarnaak!!!! :)
Amitji says, its this very auspicious seat, ye wo mahaan
singhasan hai, that when we sit on, we get all the goodh-gyaaan ki baatein and
all sorts of introspections, retrospections etc etc etc coming clearly to our
heads………..oh dear!!! :) fir kya bol sakte hain :))))
Bas fir kyat tha, meri restless page-3 aatma se nikal aaya
ye [P]review….:)
[P]review, because the movie is yet to be released…on the 6th
of Feb ie…but, yu ki, sochne wali
baat ye hai ki, tab tak rukti toh pet me dard naa hone lagta bhalaa? :))))
Ab aap poochhoge, ki ye Piddly Piddly kya hai, ye Piddly Piddly?
Haan haan poochho poochho…bindaas!! :)
See there are two schools of thought going for the meaning
of this slang ;)-
-According to our Amit ji, it means ‘susu jaane ka urge’,
haan bhai, he himself said it!! :)
-According to the writer-director R Balki it means trivial,
common-place, aiwayi…. :)….maslan, “Piddly see baatein manje, chhoti-moti
baatein…”
Chaliye ab zaraa song se hat kar Movie per se pe concentrate
karte hain!!
This song belongs to the upcoming R Balki’s,
AMITABH Bacchan-REKHA,
Southie superstar and RAJANI SAAR’s Damaad, DHANUSH,
Kamaal Haasan’s daughter, AKSHARA [who is debuting with this
high voltage movie] starrer… “Shamitabh”!!
Ab bolo bhalaa…. Amitabh Bachchan, REKHA!! Rajanikanth,
Kamaal Haasan, Dhanush [of Kolaveri fame hereabouts]….Soooo many
biggies…associated with one movie!!! Gazzab naa?!! :)
Ab ek aur mazedaar baat batau?...the music in this movie is
given by none other than the legendary Ilayaraja saar!!! See I don’t blame you Bollywoodies, if you do not know the greatness of this great person….I’ll let you into the
league…he is revered down south as a maestro…
Recently, at the trailer launch the team celebrated and
felicitated him for completing no less than…100 aur ek aur zero….ie 1000 movies
down south!!!!!
….Kamaal haasan n Rajani Saar declared to have done more
than 100 movies with Ilayaraja sir!! Kamaal haasan went on to say how he
snatched the event as an opportunity to ‘hug’ Ilayaraja sir, while felicitating
him….and how Ilayaraja sir had converted all the songs of one of Kamaal
Haasan’s movies that were very ordinary into sure shot hits just by changing
the music of them all with absolutely no rerecording. ab samjhe? :)
Pataa hai kya, the gorgeous multitalented Shruti Haasan [kyu
naa ho…akhir Shruti jo hai!! ;) ]has done the playback on a peppy, quirky,
trendy song for the movie….is song ki ek khaasiyat ye bhi hai, ki it has a
female voice playing at the back, Dhanush the Hero performing in it….and so
very unlikely for Bollywood…he doesn’t lip-sing, sacchi!!!!! :)…..its really
Stereophonic Sannata going all strong there. :)))
Ab wo baat, jiske liye you must all be waiting restlessly…I
mentioned the name of none other than Rekha, twice earlier….YES, she IS in the
movie!! Though not paired with Amitabh sadly, she’s in a cameo role there and
that too with Dhanush!!....siiigh :((
Fir bhi hum toh isi me khush hain ki dono ek hi movie me
hain toh kum se kum….ab dekhiye naa, if you ask either, “kya aap Shamitabh me
kaam kar rahe ain?” toh dono kaa answer sau fee sadi “Haan”hi aayega, nai kya?
;)
Aur batau…..
Ek minute….kahi aap bore toh nahi ho rahe naa?....nahi hona
pleeease….kyuki mai jab tak poori gaathaa bol nai lungi, mere pet me dard hota
rahega….aur abhi toh picture release hogi….uske baad fir pet dukha toh? :)
Haan toh mai keh rahi thi ki, thoda newbie cutie pie Akshara
ke bare me bhi…while the movie was being made, Balki says he chanced upon her
he says he weaved a character around her and she became the Third ‘Hero’ of the
movie!!!!!!
She is cute, a bit tomboyish and I get a fair impression why
Balki took her for that particular role and I am very sure she’ll be
exceptional in it….aur picture release hone ke baad mai pakka bolungi…“Dekkhaa,
mai naa keti thi?!!” :)
Akshara says she’s a huge fan of Shahrukh!! Lo bolo Amitji
ke saath picture kisi ko mile and she goes gaga over SRK!! Hey Prabhu, ajab
teri duniya…gazab tere khel!! :)
Waise pata hai kya, Akshara ke dil ki hote
hote reh gayi!! The role of Dhanush was first offered to SRK himself, but he
had qualms about the screen space that he would get in the [omni]presence of
Amitabh himself. Sahi bhi hai…at least mai toh srk ki taraf dekhtitch bhi
nahi!! :)))
When asked about Kolaveri D and him being a vocalist,
Dhanush says he is no singer nor does he want to pursue it professionally.
Kolaveri D was an accident and could happen to anyone. Luckily it happened to
me. :)
He has copied his Sasurji Rajni Saar’s mannerisms in the
movie though that he says we’ll understand after seeing it first hand. Aise
vishaalkaay sasurji hone se toh mannerisms apne aap hi aa jaate honge, nai kya?
;)
Aur pata hai…even before the starting of its shooting, Balki
and Amitabh did the sound recording of the entire movie….and then after the
shooting was over, they did the whole recording all over again!!! Such is the
consistence, dedication and resilience of great people!! :)
Talking about the story…the title itself tells it all…..
‘dhanuSHAMITABHbachchan’!!!! :)
Dhanush is Backed by Amitabh Bachchan!! :)
R Balki says he was on his way to Amitji’s house on his
birthday when he got stuck in traffic, and in that one hour he conceived this
story…so instead of a formal gift he whispered tis story to Big B’s ears and
thus Shamitabh came into being!! Kaash sabko traffic me fase fase aise gazab ke
khayaalaat aate!!:):)
In it, Dhanush plays a vocally-challenged guy, who is given
the voice of Amitabh Bachchan making him a superstar. The stars shine till they
are and work together and hell breaks loose when they get caught in ego
clashes. Bole toh… “mai hi mai hu…mai hi mai hu…doosaraa koi nahi!” pulls them
down.
This story goes on to prove, alone we are nothing…its with
the help of many that we achieve what we do…hence we should always be grounded
and never forget what others have done and are doing for us to help us stand
where we are today!! Jai ho!! :)
Chalo bhai log, bol bol ke thak gayi….now toh I am waiting…haath
maste huye…the release of Shamitabh…and what does it have to offer us Bollywood
lovers!!
Aap sab bhi dekhna zaroor and then we’ll meet again…
Till then, bye-bye, tata, Ram-Ram, take care, cheerio….from
me here at Page-3!!
Keep smiling :)
