Shot in a nightclub, Shah Rukh and Kajol lent fun and fervour to Yeh kaali kaali aankhen. The Baazigar song became a staple on every Bolly buff’s lips. Add to that a yummy Priyanka Chopra and a yummier Ranbir Kapoor! The opening lines - Naina lageeyan baarishan/ Te sukke sukke sapne vi pijj gaye -lift this Anjaana Anjaani song from a good romantic number into a great song that celebrates love and longing, hope and heartbreak. The fact that it was picturised on Farhan Akhtar was a big bonus. Javed Akhtar’s pen wove magic with Shankar Mahadevan lending his voice to the song. This Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy song beautifully captures the restlessness of the eyes that dream of a better tomorrow. Sapno se bhare naina/ Naa neend hai naa chaina. The film flopped, the song became a rage.

Ranbir Kapoor’s (towel) dance with abandon as he celebrates falling in love was sung from the heart by Shaan. This one ranks among the top Bolly romantic numbers in recent years. Gulzar’s lyrics - Nainon ki mat maaniyo re/ nainon ki mat suniyo./ Jaagte jaadu phukenge re neenden banjar kar denge - celebrated the mystery and the magic behind a woman’s eyes. Gulzar’s part fun, part sensuous lyrics - Aankhein bhi kamaal karti hain/ personal se sawaal karti hain - made Kajrare a superhit.īeedi jalaile and Namak issak ka may have been the chart toppers, but it is this Rahat Fateh Ali Khan song that turned out to be the real gem of this Othello-inspired Vishal Bhardwaj film. The Bachchanīaap-beta jammed like never before and soon-to-be-Bachchan Ash sizzled like never before. Nightclub to marriage reception, the song that became an anthem. Rab ki nemat hai teri nigaahein/ Jisme basti hai uski duayein/ Aise naino ki baaton mein koi kyun na aaye. Who among these women has the best eyes? Tell NAZAR TO NAINA, THERE IS NO ESCAPING IT ON THE BOLLY CHARTSĮyes have been eulogised in many a Bolly song, but this Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy romantic number is special for the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol chemistry and Javed Akhtar’s soulful lyrics. Playful or passionate, fiery or dreamy, innocent or intriguing, these starry eyes do just that - and much more - to us She can kill with a smile, She can wound with her eyes.Billy Joel was so right.
