Ungli pe nachalein
Music Composed and Produced by: Aslam Keyi
Lyrics: Kumaar Singers: Dev Negi & Shipra Goya
While the entire soundtrack of Ungli has still not been officially launched, the makers are certainly ensuring that whatever songs that are being released are distinctive. Pakeezah was a soft love song with Sufi notes, Ungli pe nachalein is a hip-hop, sensual number. The song is nothing short of an ‘item number’, the only difference being that unlike most other item numbers in Hindi films, this one does not feature any of the film’s leading ladies. Ungli pe… has Emraan Hashmi who plays a grey character in the film.
What is a pleasant relief is the unabashed way in which the song is touted as one of the ‘hottest numbers’. While the song’s tempo is not very fast unlike other item numbers, the effortless rendition by Dev Negi and Shipra Goyal covers up the flaws. Composer Aslam Keyi has refrained from infusing rap or rock beats and has kept it as a hip-hop song.
Keeping in sync with the lyrics, the song’s video depicts Hashmi as a Casanova as he dances with seven models, all of whom are trying to get his attention.
Whether the song becomes a chartbuster or not is still to be seen, but one thing is for certain, this number will set a trend and will get people’s notice as this is one ‘item number’ that features a leading actor. The sizzling number is definitely worth a listen and is one of the better racy numbers Bollywood has seen.
