Remember the time I said the Train song could be the pick of the non hip-hop numbers in Gully Boy? Strike that, as the tag sits perfectly on Jahaan Tu Chala, sung and composed by Jasleen Royal.
While I first thought it was a reworked version of his superhit Jungli Sher, this entirely new song is elevated by Major C's music. Gully Boy is a film that is inspired by the lives of rappers Divine and Naezy, and the former roars his entry in the album with Sher Aaya Sher. Raghu with his open-throated rustic voice stakes claim for the Train song to be the best non hip-hop track in Gully Boy.
The hip hop numbers are given a rest as Raghu Dixit and Karsh Kale sing the indie favourite Train song, with music by Karsh and the Midival Punditz. However, the hip hop version that follows brings you right back to the Gully as the lyrics take a different shape with Ranveer questioning the ugly economic disparity in the country, which is most visible in Mumbai.īut, Gully Boy is a quintessential Indian film, and we love a nice melange of genres in our music.
The Doori poem written by Javed Akthar and rendered by Ranveer Singh has a strong undercurrent of love and longing, and takes you to the Lootera universe. And when you hear the familiar ' Arre apun kuchh karte hain na Yaar apne public ke liye', and even though Ranveer does a decent job with his singing, the impression of the original Mere Gully Mein looms large. It's fitting that it is followed by the song that brought mainstream attention to the underground Hip Hop scene in the business capital of India.
