Sita-ji, I am sorry to hear that you are encumbered by a mujra blocker in the workplace. I hope that you have had a chance to view this by now… I look forward to further comments, when you have a chance! :)
Coordinated snaking at 1:13 is a nice touch and I like the snakes on their leotards, great knee spins at 5:20. Only improvement would be makeshift table holding keyboard being replaced by a refrigerator.
Thank you, Sita-ji – good observations. Yes, it would be better if the table were replaced by a refrigerator!
I’m also curious about the music here… Clearly, that’s Noor Jehan’s voice, but not from the era where I get most of my favorite Noor Jehan songs (her voice here makes contemporary Lata sound youthful by comparison). Yet, they use the same old Hemant Kumar riff from 1954 – except there’s also that electric guitar, which I’ve never heard in any version of this song before, which sounds kind of rocking…
I bet they were! Pritam wrote the song I linked in and he’s sort of known as a plagerist, so I think you found the original. That’s a very nice number in your link by the way
Arg! I really want to block this, but I’m blocked from such delights at work, which is reasonable…back to work! But I WILL return later to view this.

And I wonder who the guy is.
At about 14 seconds in they’re sampling the Twist song from “Love Aaj Kal”
Oh, OK… And I thought they were just sampling this:
