Film: Heroine
Composer: Salim-Sulaiman
Playback Singer: Sunidhi Chauhan
The highly anticipated Halkat Jawani promo from the film Heroine has released (I know, it released forever ago, but it's never too late to talk about it!) Check out the promo (if you haven't already seen it!)
Wow...Bebo is just too much! So, all in all, this promo is pretty much what I expected from this song. Despite how good the song or the singing or the choreography is, the song at the core expects you to love Kareena herself, like the lyric that says "aa ke mose lipat le" (come, cling on to me). On to the specifics!
Typically with Kareena, the choreography is mediocre at best. And I think it has to do with the fact that Kareena is not that great of a dancer. The main Halkat Jawani step is pretty dull, even with her hair flying everywhere. And of course there's more than enough hip-shaking (maybe that's the only thing Bebo can do??? hummm) I mean, Bebo doesn't really need good choreography for people to watch her IMO, but it would definitely be a plus if she could dance as well as Katrina in Sheila Ki Jawani or Chikni Chameli (yes, I dared to compare Kareena with Kat). But honestly, if Kareena had some awesome dance numbers to add to her body of work, she would undoubtedly be the best actress in Bollywood. So, either Kareena needs to train harder or someone needs to train her harder, because she is definitely in her prime right now.
The song... is not so great either. After I heard the first couple of times, I liked it more, but it's not up to par with other songs of the same genre. The aaja parts at the beginning are pretty hot though. The song is definitely worth watching Bebo however, and Sunidhi Chauhan is rocking it like always.
And what about the costumes? Are the costumes supposed to mimic costumes of other item songs because Kareena plays an actress in the film? Because then the costumes would make sense, since they look exactly like ones that we've seen before. If it's not supposed to mimic other item songs, than wow costume designer, you couldn't think of anything else??? Since I don't know for sure, I won't say much about the costumes, except that that neon yellow is really bright.
Last but not least, Bebo herself! I think she is totally in her element in this song, as far as her expressions and famous eye-winking goes. She is just super hot, and those high cheek bones are incredible. Oh, and she looks more toned than she did in Chammak Challo and Dil Mera Muft Ka, which is good, as long she doesn't go back to being size zero.
Let me know what you think! Is this the best item song so far in 2012?
