Vashmalle, the first song from the magnum opus THUGS OF HINDOSTAN is now released. The makers along with the song also released the making video of the song in a few hours. The video song which was just a short clip of the song has grabbed everyone's attention. The song shows us Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan getting drunk and then grooving to the number composed by Ajay Atul and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The song is sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Vishal Dadlani.
"Vashmalle" is actually a Baloch word which could have been originated from Afghanistan. It means "To sing and dance in happiness". Exactly what we do see in the song. Amitabh Bachchan and especially Aamir Khan seems to be having a blast in the song. Watch out how Aamir Khan seems to be just enjoying himself in the songs. His expressions of naughtiness mixed with the right amount of quirk seem to be complementing the subdued and assured Big B. Composed by the south dancing sensation Prabhu Deva, the song seems to have very groovy music and steps which are easy to catch. The instrumental music in the song is lilting. Also, watch out for the amazing lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya with some delicious lines such as " Haal se malangi hain, Chaal se Firangi, Shaitan se Lugaai raat hain". He deserves a pat for innovative lyrics. Sukhwinder Singha and Vishal Dadlangi have sung the song with the right amount of spirit and tempo required.
The making video gives us an insight how they zeroed in on the word "Vashmalle" to capture the celebration. They used different kinds of "Dhol" for music. The song was to be shot in Thailand, however to be shot at night, the spot would have been very dangerous. The site was said to be infected with as many as 500 snakes. Yes, you read it right. They decided to replicate the set for the safety of the crew. Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan show us the strenous rehearsals that went into the dance. Aamir Khan tells that he didn't want to miss the chance to dance with Amitabh Bachchan and decided to just have a ball. The best part in the making of the song is the bit where just BIG B breaks into the dance spontaneously, joined by Aamir and then Victor too joins them. The screams of "Shahenshah" from the crew of Thugs of Hindostan truly give a tribute to BIG B, a man who is still dancing at the age of 75 and Aamir Khan, still doing everything that nobody expects him to do. Vashmalle is truly a celebration of the collaboration of these two legends of Indian cinema.
INTERESTING FACT: This is a sad but interesting fact about the Vashmalle Song. Vashmalle song was also used in the movie "Henna" years before. The movie was the last movie of Showman Raj Kapoor. He expired during the filming of the movie and then the movie was completed by Randhir Kapoor and got released. Sadly, he could never see Vashmalle on the Big screen. Few days ago, Krishna Raj Kapoor, the better half of Raj Kapoor passed away. Aamir Khan and Big B greatly respected Krishnaji for the way she lead her life and had been an inspiration. Sadly, she could not see the "Vashmalle" again like Raj Kapoor on the big screen. But I am sure, these two great souls must surely be singing and dancing in happiness somewhere right there in heaven. As Raj Kapoor rightly said "The show must go on". Vashmalle will also go on forever!
