The song teaser is an absolute teaser for the audience. The song opens with lines by Katrina Kaif in her husky voice and then we are introduced to her sizzling dance movies. Watch out for the catchy beats of Ajay Atul. The song seems to be in a situation where Katrina is seen performing in front of the army of the British and Aamir Khan is in the East India Company officer get up. "Suraiyya Jaan Legi Kya" goes the song Lyrics. True to its lyrics, the sizzling moves by Katrina Kaif are sure to steal everyone's hearts. This is a "Seeti Maar" song as we call it in the Indian single screen theatres. The dance moves choreographed by Prabhu Deva have been beautifully performed by Katrina Kaif who also looks stunning as Suraiyya. And of course, do not miss the genius Aamir Khan in the song. He just seems to be having a blast and giving a damn to everyone, slapping anyone who looks at Suriayya. Aamir Khan in this movie really seems to be enjoying the dances and songs and he looks in a different zone altogether. You cannot be a good dancer unless you enjoy the song. That is exactly what Aamir Khan seems to be doing. And of course, Katrina Kaif is arguably the best dancer in Bollywood now when it comes to actresses. The song also ends on the best note for any teaser video with the line "Watch the full video in theatres". Now, that's what you call a teaser.

Some people might criticise the song as an "item song". Some might call the song as a move to only add some commercial value to the movie. I guess its a vague argument. Songs have been and will continue to be an integral part of Indian commercial movies. Right from the days when sound was introduced into Indian movies, songs have been like the soul of our movies. The term "item song" is actually a misleading term. More so when it comes to Thugs of Hindostan. Katrina Kaif is already playing a character in the movie and the song is on her character. The biggest commercial hits of Bollywood have had such songs right from "Monica O my darling" from Caravan to "Mehbooba" from Sholay. Will we call them item songs? If yes, then there is no harm in calling this one an item song too. And we cannot shy from the fact that songs such as these have been great crowd pullers. I have heard stories from various Bollywood newspapers that people in yesteryear used to throng to the theatres to watch the songs of Helen. Years passed by, yet commercial Bollywood movies continue to have songs which have been popularly called as "item songs". Its unfair to the actresses or actors who are part of such songs to term it as an item song because a lot of effort goes into the making of such songs. The dance moves are tough, usually shot in a crowd of people and they need to add grace to the song without making it look vulgar.

Katrina Kaif has always been an amazing dancer and fighter. She looks stunning in the song, dances like like a dream. The critics might always try to pin point her limited acting skills, but then she never made a statement about her acting skills. She plays to her strengths. She has made it big in Bollywood on her own and has a huge fan following. Her name on a poster adds huge commercial value to the movie. A Katrina Kaif song is good enough reason for her fans to make a visit to the theatre. Her chemistry with Aamir Khan in the movie also will be amazing, they did show glimpses of their 


Suraiyya Jaan legi kya. Of Course, Suraiyya has already taken half of our lives through the video teaser. The rest half of it will be snatched by her this Diwali. Till then, Suraiyya will just continue to tease us. May the tease continue....
