Yo Yo Honey Singh Is Back With Dil Chori!

 

Honey Singh fans have a reason to rejoice as the composer makes a comeback, after two years today, with Dil Chori song in Luv Ranjan’s Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.

Many say this was a collaboration waiting to happen, given the massive youth appeal that both Honey Singh’s songs and Luv Ranjan’s movies have. And going by the anticipation and immense curiosity around Honey Singh’s comeback song across various social networking platforms and the on-going season of parties and marriages, there is no doubt in the minds of the composer and the filmmaker that the song is going to be treated.  

Producer Bhushan Kumar says, “You can’t doubt Honey Singh’s talent. It was only a matter of time before he bounced back. We are delighted that SKTKS is his re-launch pad. I won’t be surprised when these two songs from our film become chartbusters.”  

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety is written and directed by Luv Ranjan. Produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Luv Films’ Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the film will release on 09^th February2018.

Story Of Firangi

1920… when India was still under British Rule.This is the story of Manga (Kapil Sharma) , a happy-go-lucky young man from the village Bahrampur, whose only aim is to join the police force. But as the luck or his ill luck would have it, Manga fails in all the 3 attempts. Manga’s life takes a 360-degree turn when he goes to village Naku Guda to attend the marriage of his childhood friend, Heera and meets Sargi ( Ishita Dutta)

, a young and pretty girl and it is love at first sight. Manga’s charm not only manages to win Sargi’s love, he also becomes an apple of the eye for the Naku Gudians. Manga is blessed with a shafa (God’s blessing) for he could cure anybody who suffered from a backache. Once Manga cures Mark Daniels, a powerful British officer, who often suffered from a backache, he is awarded a job of an orderly in the police force as his orderly. Manga is now confident that Sargi’s dada ji (a staunch Gandhi ji’s supporter), who always disliked Manga, will now agree for Manga and Sargi’s marriage, as Manga is a cop now. However, Laala ji refuses the Rishta as he hates firangis and of course, Manga is a servant of the firangis now. Manga and Sargi are heartbroken. Manga truly respects Mark but he does not know that Mark, along with the king Inderveer Singh (the king of a small riyaasat Channthala) is planning to open a distillery on the very land of Naku Guda. Mark not only wants to become an industrialist, he also wants to marry Inderveer Singh’s daughter, Shyamali Devi, who has just returned from London after completing her studies. Shyamali Devi has a soft corner for Manga and loves his simplicity. At the same time, Shyamali hates Mark and does not want to marry him. Inderveer Singh announces to the villagers that they would have to vacate the village and would be given a new land. The villagers oppose this decision. Laala ji also threatens the king with severe legal consequences if the decision is not taken back. That’s where Manga steps in and assures them that he would sort this out with the help of his Mark Saab. Manga complains to Mark who, in turn, scolds Inderveer Singh for such a cruel and illegal decision. Inderveer Singh apologizes. Manga is elated. Inderveer Singh asks Manga to invite all the Naku Gudians to his palace for a party where he would apologize to each one of them. The villagers happily agree. They go the palace where Inderveer Singh offers them drinks, laced with a drug. Next morning the villagers wake up only to realize that Inderveer Singh has taken their thumbprints on the sale-deed. They are thrown out of their own village. They get furious, as they doubt Manga for having done that. Now the whole village, including Sargi, hates Manga.

Will Manga be able to win Sargi’s love and Naku Guda back? Will Shyamali Devi

marry Mark? Will Manga be called a traitor forever… or...

Lyricist Kumaar does it in Golmaal way

Lyricist kumaar yet again comes with Golmaal again but this time he rather kept more simple than tricky. "Its always exciting working with Rohit Shetty. We both understand each other so well that i get immense freedom working for him. I have been fortunate to be part of the entire Golmaal series. But this time i thought to keep the songs as simple as a common man's daily routine. If u hear the songs you can feel its line of every person be it hum Nahi sudhrenge or itna sannata or the title track. I didn't try anything different or intelligent. Sometimes i feel too much intelligence fades the innocence. "In this era where multiple composers and lyricist croon music for a movie. Kumaar is trending with multiple composers with one lyricist. Golmaal has multiple composers but kumaar is the solo lyricist. Talking about this the lyricist says,"Being solo lyricist always a bit more responsibility. Previously in the series, i have worked with Vishal Shekhar and Pritam. But this time there were multiple composers so the excitement and fun were more. I enjoy working with new talents. But you need to adjust the temperament and approach of each composer are different so you need to fit in it".

I look forward to seeing what more Indian cinema can come up with.” 

But would he like to be a part of one? “Why not? I can’t sing and dance very well, but I can do some of the straight roles,” he said.

When asked about what’s going to be exciting in the movie he said, “Thor: Ragnarok” will see the characters Thor and Hulk battling for the first time. Ruffalo says he has been waiting for this for the past six years. It was great to smash him (Thor). I have been waiting for six years to smash him… It was really fun. People always want to see Thor and Hulk fight and I’ve got to do it in this one.”
