Ajab Tamasha Yeah Right

Ajab Tamasha seems like a violent yet promising video at first but the moment the lyrics seep in it spins your attention to a thought provoking dilemma of this country that is “brain drain”. This is what has happened to our industries and now to media also. We have lost artists to this, actors musicians, singers, you name it. Channels are helping in this. I like the spirit of bands and artists that do not believe in leaving this territory. For the rest I guess EP says it this way :

Rona hai yeh purana

Bus kero yeh bahana

Apna yehi thikana hai

This is a song that can bring a revolution so I can call it a bomb-track. Packed with thought provoking lyrics this song has the potential for becoming a hot single on the charts. Sadly the nation is more into love stricken songs of the neighboring country. Right from the beginning you can feel the power packed composition explodes on your screen.

Salman has grown up into a great guitarist and his solo seems a little off yet he pulls it off in style. Farhad has always done great with is pair of firewood and skins. This is a beautiful song thanks to its brilliant composition and the really encouraging rhythm. Hassaan has done a great job with his four strings. For Butt sahab this is a radiant attempt and a perfect performance to discourage your cynics and proving once again that EP is still alive and kicking.

For all those who thought EP would be lost without xulfi, fawad and waqar, this is the song for you. Filling in all the shoes the rest of the band has does a great job. Of course a little expertise from Farhad Hamayun also.

For those who doubted and said EP was dead a line for the lyrics:

“Kyun Rung tera fuk hai”

Please do give a try if you haven’t yet:

If Jameel was a Bhand then Danial Kareen’s latest movie would be “Sky fall”

Remember that Maula Jutt’s film where he is fighting Noori Nuth near a railway station and his sister accidentally hits him with a Gundasa and Mr. Jutt looses his memory. Do you remember when Austin Powers is trying to catch Goldmember and his girl shoots at his behind. That is exactly how I felt when the latest James Bond film began, just a little Glitter Coated with the experience of Hollywood. I am really impressed what one would try to keep a legend alive. I have been saying and will say again Bond is dead and please don’t dig his grave any more. The lesson to be learned by this great endeavor is that Advertising can win you a great market. Really tell me how long are you people going to achieve that? Sorry I know the answer is ‘until the last fool realizes it’s a lie’. What is the real difference in Maula Jutt’s film and this one? The answer is in big budget and Hollywood. Finally the have realized that the terrorist in with in them not us. This film is all about that if you really ask me.

The Story is secret data go missing, Bond is dead, Head office blows up, try to regroup, bond is back, the bugger survives depleted uranium shot to his chest, gets up finds the culprit and finishes him off then finds the real guy who out wits MI6 and tries to kill ‘M’. Reason you ask, well he is an old agent left missing in action years ago. That’s about it for the story.

But, oh boy how many Missing in Action personnel does the Royal armed force have in recent wars? Don’t look at me I really don’t know but some of them might be potential terrorist according to this film.

Before I went into the theatre I said this to a friend

“If Jameel was a Bhand then Danial Kareen’s latest film would be “Sky fall”. 

This buddy of mine is a great fan of Bond films but he had similar comments at the end of the show and I am sure similar thought when he was watching it. It did feel like I am watching a new Pakistani film made in Hollywood.The script writer might have watched a little too many Pakistani stage plays before writing the script.

I do want to ask this why is it that the mirror scene form Bruce lee film “Enter The Dragon” in the opening title and the underground train derailed scene were important. Honestly I have only 2 reasons. Firstly the Mirror scene, it is either that the director is obsessed with the scene or there is nothing better he could visualize in terms of breaking the image. Because to break a person you break his/her image. The second scene with the train and all, well it seems like action sequence now a days are so many that it is hard to image a new one so everyone tries to copy this one.
