Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' music a 'kool' affair

Music Director: Sachin-Jigar, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Meet Bros Anjjan


Lyricist: Mayur Puri, Kumaar

Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Sonu Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh, Daler Mehndi, Riteish Deshmukh, Neeraj Shreedhar, Kailash Kher, Swaroop, Meet Bros Anjjan

Rating: ***

In 2005, "Kyaa Kool Hai Hum" wrote a new chapter in the genre of comedy films and its much awaited sequel promises to tickle our funny bone once again. One gets a feel of it through the soundtrack of "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum" -- a peppy and funny album, totally in sync with the essence of the movie.

The album starts off with "Dil garden garden ho gaya", which has Vishal Dadlani crooning in his high-pitched voice well supported by modern techno sounds. The track has a very youthful touch and is bound to be noticed. It also has a remixed version, which isn't radically different from the original track.

Some electronic beats have been added to the composition, but the remixed song fails to create the desired effect. It's better to stick with the original.

Next up is "Shirt da button". It is an unusual title for a romantic song. The lyrics are a bit comical, but Sonu Nigam's voice carries the track on its shoulder and delivers it with perfection. Sonu has sung it so beautifully that the song touches you instantly.

The use of handclaps to give it a qawwali feel in between also works well for the composition. It also has a second version, albeit in a slower avatar.


The alternate track has been sung by the soulful Kailash Kher in a mellowed down manner. It has more of a qawwali touch, which takes one back to the song "Tu jaane na" from "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani". It's hard to choose the better one here as both the versions are equally compelling and are an absolute treat to the ears.


"Hum toh hain cappuccino (UP-Bihar lootne)" is a twisted version of Shilpa Shetty's famed dance number "UP-Bihar lootne". It has vocals by Daler Mehndi, Sukhwinder Singh, Swaroop and actor Riteish Deshmukh. 

The song fills you with nostalgia and instantly grows on you with the array of voices that keep you hooked. The song has a very raw feel and has a surprise as Riteish donned the writer's hat and penned the Marathi lyrics for it.

Next up is an out and out dance number titled "Volume high karle". Sung by NeerajSridhar, the song is high on electronic and techno beats, but the lyrics are very ordinary and the composition deserved a better treatment.

It also has a remixed version, which like the original, falls short of expectations. Even with the addition of powerful beats, it doesn't create the desired effect.

The final verdict - the music of "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum" has some highs and lows, but deserves a hear as it manages to lift your 'kool' quotient.

Ekta: 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum' series is Bollywood's answer to 'American Pie' series

She describes "Kyaa Kool Hai Hum" series as Bollywood's answer to "American Pie" series. But Ekta Kapoor is miffed that the censor board has snipped three scenes from the theatrical trailer of "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum". She blames it to existing prejudices in the Hindi film industry.

Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs Of Wasseypur" had coarse and crass language too, but it released without cuts. So what is the hullabaloo around "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum"?

She replied saying, "There's a big difference here. That's Anurag Kashyap - you know how it is. Everything that Balaji (Motion Pictures) does or any mainstream filmmaker does, will always be considered to be cheap and crass." 

"If Dibakar (Banerjee) would have made this film, it would have a totally different effect. So we always suffer prejudices in Bollywood, and we just fight constantly, " she added. 

The 37-year-old is upset that the censors are not letting the movie's original promos reach the theatres, but she doesn't blame them for double standards either.

"We never had issues in the film's first part. I think our society was so much cooler at that time. Now suddenly everyone raises a question, everyone asks 15 questions. So we have a sanitised, boring promo in the theatre for the ones who will be seeing 'Bol Bachchan', " said Ekta who was in town to show the uncut version of the trailer.

"A-rating programming is allowed on TV after 11 p.m., then also we are not allowed to show anything. There is so much prohibition in society for everything and because anyone can raise a question. Everyone is so scared. I don't blame the censors. They are under so much pressure. People are ready to file a PIL (public interest litigations) against everything... it's really curbing the creativity." 

"I thought the first part of my series in 2005 would have to face all this. We are in 2012, for god's sake! It really seems like the world is coming to an end, " she quipped.

But she points out the biggest challenge is that "any kind of double meaning in Hindi sounds crass". 

"Very strong research once said that the real problem with our language is that it is so restrictive. The American language has extended itself to slangs and made itself more colloquial, " Ekta observed.

"Hindi has not taken any such extension because of which there has been stagnation in the language. So it is much tougher to write a Hindi comedy with double meaning because we didn't want to go crass, " added the filmmaker, who has produced films like "Love Sex Aur Dhokha", "Ragini MMS" and "The Dirty Picture".

However, she believes the Sachin Yardi-directed movie, releasing July 27, has adult humour in measured amount. 

"We wanted to go funny with adult humour. Some portions could probably hurt some sensibilities. But on the whole, the film has tried to keep its humour funny without being offensive, " she said.

Cracking jokes in Hindi is an uphill task "because they sound worse than they sound in English, " said Ekta. 

" 'Delhi Belly' was made in English because they clearly realised the power of that language in making things sound much better than they are.

"For us, it has been a struggle to make Hindi a language where double meaning doesn't go into becoming another lowest common denominator and this just turns out to be another film, " said the filmmaker. 

She has brought her brother Tusshar Kapoor and actor Riteish Deshmukh together after seven years for the franchise, which hits the screens July 27.

Riteish is embarrassed of his 'Super Kool' act

Naughty comedy "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum" is set to come out and Riteish Deshmukh, one of the leading actors in it, says it's embarrassing to play his character in the film.

"Of course, it is embarrassing. The character in the film calls disk as d***s. There are still many people who call it as d***s and women think it differently. I am not ashamed but embarrassed of 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum', " he said.

A sequel to "Kyaa Kool Hai Hum", the film has "certain things that we do and there are certain things that the film demands, " said the actor.

"When you actually enact some scene, you feel that what am I doing? Have we lost it? But that's the humour and it is done in a very innocent way.

"It's a naughty comedy. The genre itself suggests that there are going to be some naughty stuff. You will get to see lot of non-veg stuff in the film, buts it's suggestive not directive, " he added.

Directed by Sachin Yardi and produced by Ekta Kapoor, "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum" also sees Tusshar Kapoor, Sarah Jane Dias and Neha Sharma.

It is slated for a July 27 release.

Riteish turns Marathi singer in 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum'

We all knew that Riteish Deshmukh was an entertainer par excellence. But 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' has shown his versatility. He has turned lyricist and singer in the hit 'UP Bihar Lootne' track, which has been rendered (for the first time together) by Sukhwinder Singh and Daler Mehndi.

When Balaji was working on a new version of Shilpa Shetty’s famous item number, being a Maharashtrian, Riteish asked his producer to extend the song to incorporate Maharashtra in it.

“Riteish was very excited about the song from the beginning. He spontaneously decided that Maharashtra be a part of the new song, ” says an insider from the film’s unit.

To ensure the authenticity of the track, Riteish turned singer and lyricist for the Marathi portions in the track and sat with the composers Meet Brothers Anjjan to understand the meter and rhythm of the track. As a result, the original song from Shool (1999) has been reworked quite a bit.

When contacted, Tanuj Garg, CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures confirms, “The UP-Bihar track shows us a new dimension of Riteish. He has done a terrific job in bringing the track from UP and Bihar to Maharashtra. We have a sure-shot chartbuster on our hands."

'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' trailer with 'Bol Bachchan'

The excitement around 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' is only building up. Balaji has pushed the envelope by releasing multiple trailers of the film. The first was an announcement attached with 'The Dirty Picture' last year. The second 'U/A' trailer was attached with 'Housefull 2' in April and the 'A' trailer with 'Jannat 2'.

The fourth brand new 'U/A' trailer is now being attached with Rohit Shetty's 'Bol Bachchan', releasing next week. As 'Bol Bachchan' has been given a 'U/A' by the CBFC, the trailer of 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' also had to have the same classification.

Balaji is believed to have deleted three naughty scenes and replaced them with other humorous scenes in order to secure a 'U/A'.

The scenes the CBFC objected to include Anupam Kher's spoof on late Satyen Kapoo's character from 'Sholay', Riteish Deshmukh commenting on the female anatomy, and a spoof on John Abraham's production 'Vicky Donor'.

There's no reason to despair though as the controversial uncensored 'A' trailer will be released on the Net on Monday.

With Ekta's crores Tusshar-Riteish give Shilpa Shetty a run for her money!

A birdie chirped to say that producer Ekta Kapoor has been spending crores of rupees alone for the sets of the songs in her sex comedy

Wonder how much she has spent on the entire film which stars Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor! 

Giving Shilpa Shetty a run for her money!

'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' just got hotter! With 'Dil Garden Garden' and 'Shirt Da Button' already topping the charts, the forthcoming third track promises to heighten the film's existing noise level! 

The curvaceous Shilpa Shetty's chartbuster, 'UP Bihar Lootne' ('Shool') will feature in the film but not in its original form! There's a twist here, as the lead pair Tusshar and Riteish Deshmukh will gyrate to Shilpa's 'thumkas' in a specially created male version of the track, choreographed by the veterans Rekha and Chinni Prakash, whose recent work in 'Ishaqzaade' had everyone spellbound. 

Titled 'Hum Toh Hain Cappuccino' by lyricist Kumaar, the Meet Brothers Anjjan have recreated Shilpa's chartbuster (by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) to make it even more commercial and club-friendly! 

Last weekend, an elaborate dhaba set, which cost over 2 cr, was set up at Mumbai's Film City where Tusshar and Riteish shot for the track with leading ladies Sarah-Jane Dias and Neha Sharma. 

Says producer Ekta Kapoor, "Our team debated extensively on the choice of track before we arrived at 'U.P. Bihar Lootne'! 

It's not just another run-of-the-mill item number that you see these days! It is supremely quirky, funny and signature super kool, which goes very well with the tone of the film! The boys have completely outdone themselves and the track promises to take the hype around the film to a new level!" 

Poised to become the new dance anthem post its release on July 5, the track has a promotion plan as unique as the track itself. Ekta plans to give it the widest possible viewership across a single evening by revealing it on Balaji's four consecutive leading prime-time soaps ('Pavitra Rishta', 'Parichay', 'Kya Hua Tera Vaada' & 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain'), something which has never been done before. 

The track will also be the front-runner for the film's promotion in North India, and particularly, in Delhi, U.P. & Bihar, where Riteish and Tusshar, in a rustic get-up, will tour the cities in an open truck with the track blaring from the loudspeaker. 

Trust Balaji to make the 'koolest' moves for their films!

Dil Garden Garden hits Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum bull's eye

The retro-kool track from Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum is the latest B-town anthem to rule the airwaves!

In less than a day of its online launch, the now chartbusting ‘Dil Garden Garden’ track from Balaji’s forthcoming sex-com ‘Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum’, was trending nationwide on Twitter, and for a few hours, even worldwide.

The deliciously colorful video inspired by the Austin Power series, choreographed by Bosco-Caesar, lauded for its color and gusto, grabbed more than 3 Lac hits on Youtube in just two days.

According to the report dated 15th June by leading film-tracking company, Foresight, since the launch of ‘Dil Garden Garden’, the Spontaneous Recall of the film jumped dramatically by 78.9% over the previous week’s statistics while the people who definitely plan to watch the film jumped 32.1% from the earlier week. There was a jump of 58. 8% in the people who definitely plan to watch the film in its opening weekend.

Director-Producer Karan Johar’s tweet, “Crazy... whacky and superkool song from Kyaa superkool hain hum!!!! KSKHH.... watch it!!! It’s loads of fun!!!!” was echoed by a wide cross-section of the industry and countrywide fans.

Its lyricist Mayur Puri attributed the success of the track to its composers Sachin and Jigar who stumbled upon the popular phrase in a Ludhiana dhaba when they heard a man praising the lassi by saying, “Dil Garden Garden Ho Gaya”.

The funky Vishal (of Vishal-Shekhar), who has sung the uber-kool track, has been inundated with messages from fans, DJs and show organizers ever since the launch. “People seem to have gone nuts about it, and some, because of it, ” he laughs. “Always good to be a part of a big hit!”

Music magnate Bhushan Kumar said, “We are thrilled to have received such a fabulous response to the song. It has been picking up at phenomenal speed and we look forward to releasing the rest of the album at the soonest. ”

The success of the track was best summed up by Anupam Kher in his tweet: “Jai Ho!”

Enough of sequels, comedies for Riteish!

He is the quintessential comic actor of Hindi films but now Riteish Deshmukh, whose sequel to "Masti" will soon go on the floors, says he plans to stop doing sequels and try to be part of drama and crime thrillers.

"My next film will be 'Masti 2'. I will start shooting in the first week of August," Riteish told. He will team up with the original cast - Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani in part two.

"It is myself, Aftab and Vivek in the film. It's my fourth film with Indra Kumar I feel like I am married to him," Riteish, 33, said.

Indra Kumar and Riteish's earlier projects include "Masti" (2004), "Dhamaal" (2007) and "Double Dhamaal" (2011).

Besides comedies, Riteish has been associated with sequels and says he plans to move on. "This is my third sequel and then the fourth one will come, then I will stop doing sequels because all the comedies that I am doing are sequels - 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' (a sequel to 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum') and 'Masti 2'. I have not done a new comedy."

The actor also featured in the recently released "Housefull 2", but he claims that he is not been typecast after playing so many comic roles.

"In fact, in my case, it has been the other way round. 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya' happened and it was a rom com where Genelia (D'Souza) is more aggressive character. Thankfully, it worked."

"Obviously these series of films that I am doing are sequels, they are brands and they are bound to be comedy. After these films things have changed because people's perception has changed so now I am looking forward to do one drama and one crime thriller."

Riteish is currently gearing up for "Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum".

Akshay Kumar HOUSEFULL is intelligent entertainer!!

Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan starrer flick ‘Housefull’, which released last Friday was an intelligent comic entertainer with.

A solid screenplay that had Sajid Khan’s brand of humor, instead of being slow paced, boring and unimaginative flick liked by ten percent of so called intellectuals.

Yes, director Sajid Khan, happy with the rocking opening response to his latest offering, has thundered that he knew the audiences more than any other person on earth, let alone the critics.

Once again slamming the critics for their so called criticism, Sajid Khan says that he would always love.

To continue with his brand of entertainer rather than going for something boring to torture the ticket buying junta who go to theatres to be entertained and not for changing their lives of some malady. In fact, Sajid Khan also explains that ‘Housefull’ was made with an eye on the global audience and it was not like his earlier venture ‘Heyy Babyy’ starring Vidya Balan.

And Akshay Kumar, which was more of a drama plus comedy. Herein, he had roped in his trusted friends like Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal and Boman Irani to create this romantic comedy entertainer for the masses.

‘Housefull’ is about Akshay Kumar playing the unluckiest man in the world, while Deepika Padukone is his wife. The movie cashed in on the summer holiday season and became one of the greatest openers of this calendar year between Friday and Sunday. Now, it will be interesting to see if the movie can survive from Monday onwards.Whatsoever, but the initial response to ‘Housefull’ was already around seventy percent and at some multiplexes like Fun, the occupancy rate was reported to be around hundred percent on the first day of its opening.Now, that is definitely very good news for hit starved bollywood.

'Housefull will be the biggest hit of 2010'

Three years after the hugely successful Heyy Babyy, director Sajid Khan returns with another comedy, Housefull. Joining Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh (who also starred in Sajid's debut film) in Sajid's new caper are Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal, Jiah Khan Boman Irani, Randhir Kapoor and Chunkey Pandey. Sajid is very confident Housefull will screen to full houses. He tells Patcy N why. Excerpts: How did you get the idea of Housefull?

While we were celebrating the success of Heyy Babby and deciding what our next film should be, Milap Javeri --my screenplay writer on Heyy Babyy -- shared something that had happened to him. On the last day of college, he proposed to his girlfriend with a ring. She not only returned it; she also broke up with him before driving off on another boy's bike.

Milap was in love with her for two years. His heart broke when she rejected him. He started crying. The ring fell from his hand, he slipped on the ring and fell himself. His pant tore and a dog bit him. All this happened to him in the space of just five minutes.

I started laughing; I could easily imagine Akshay enacting such a scene. Milap said, 'Kaminey mere saath itni badi tragedy hui hai aur tu has raha hai (You rascal, such a big tragedy happened in my life and you are laughing)'. But I thought the whole incident was very funny; in real life, you sometimes find humour in pathos. It was a sorrowful event -- what happened with him was wrong but it was funny.

From that incident, we started developing the characters and a story -- what if Akshay is the world's biggest panvati (person plagued with ill-luck) and nothing in his life is ever good. Though he is a good man, everything bad happens to him. It took us 18-20 months to write the story and screenplay. Your first film Heyy Babyy was inspired from Three Men And A Baby and Rob-B-Hood

[Sarcastically] Have you seen Three Men and a Baby? What happened in that movie? Main chor hoon. Maine zindagi bhar sirf choriyaan ki hai (I'm a thief. All my life I have done nothing but steal). I have no original thought. I only plagiarise. I rob all the stories from world cinema. I rob stories and make films.

Whatever I am today is because I have robbed from others and made my name. Heyy Babby, the whole movie, was a copy. In fact, Housefull is also lifted from 50 movies -- that is what you are trying to say and this is what you wanted to hear, right [laughs]? [Sarcastically] Rediff par dekhiya aaj Sajid Khan ka khulasa. Yeh openly admit kar rahe ki inhone chori ki hai (Sajid Khan exposed on rediff. He openly admits he has plagiarised). This is what you wanted to hear, right?

I give an open challenge to anyone, anywhere in the world. Take the DVDs of Heyy Babyy and Three Men and a Baby and Rob-B-Hood -- which I have not seen till date because I am not a Jackie Chan fan, I stopped being his fan since the 80s because his cinema kept on going down and compare them.

Show me even one scene that is copied ditto -- like Mahesh Bhattsaab did in his films and Sanjay Gupta did in his movies -- shot-by-shot. If you show me even one scene, I will never make a film again. The scene diaper scene in Rob-B-Hood

There is a diaper scene in Three Men and a Baby? No in Rob-B-Hood, I said... I have not seen Rob-B-Hood till date. In which year was Rob-B-Hood released? Rob-B-Hood was released in October or November 2007 and, even if we think it was June, Heyy Babby released on August 24, 2007.

My whole making of the film is documented. I shot the diaper scene in February 2007 so did I enter Jackie Chan's brain in Hong Kong and copy the scene (Bo Bui Gai Wak, also known as Rob-B-Hood, released on September 28, 2006).

I want to ask you a question. Which is the greatest Hindi film ever made? Sholay, Mughal-E-Azam Sholay. Right. Have you seen Magnificent Seven? Have you seen Seven Samurai? Have you seen Once Upon A time In The West?

Even if we think that one of your favourite film is Munnabhai MBBS, have you see Patch Adams [laughs]? Let me tell you a truth. We grew up on cinema. That doesn't mean you copy the thoughts in your head. The English that you speak has been taught to you by somebody in school. Does that mean you are copying that person? No, right?

I have not seen Rob-B-Hood till date. Even if I have, I am not stupid. My name is Sajid Khan. Main doosre logo ka bhanda fodta hoon television par (I reveal other people's secrets on television). Am I so stupid that I will copy a scene from some other film? I made television programmes for four years and showed how others copied. What is lacking today in most people is what is taking our nation down -- common sense.
