Actor-singer Shannon K, who is the daughter of veteran singer Kumar Sanu, paid a soul-stirring tribute to the late legendary composer Bappi Lahiri by recreating ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ from the 1982 movie ‘Disco Dancer’.
Shannon, who has collaborated with Bappa Lahiri, son of Bappi Lahiri, for the track, said: “When I met Bappi uncle on his birthday, he promised to call me soon for a song recording. Unfortunately, he fell ill shortly after, leaving us all in shock.”
Turning grief into a tribute, Shannon K collaborated with Bappa to honour Bappi Lahiri through ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ remake.
“Recording this song and filming the music video was an incredible experience. ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ has always been one of my favourite songs of Bappi, and to pay homage to him through this project is truly special,” she added.
The song is now out on Saregama.

Music composer duo Salim-Sulaiman feels the play ‘Disco Dancer – The Musical’, which will have its grand premiere on April 14 in Mumbai will redefine contemporary Indian theatre.
On World Theatre Day, music composers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant discuss the play which they believe will redefine contemporary Indian theatre after regaling audiences in London’s West End Theatre, in back-to-back sold-out shows.
The Saregama Live production will now take the Indian audiences of all generations back to the unforgettable music, clap-worthy dialogues, and foot-taping choreography of the ’80s.
Salim said: “On World Theatre Day, it is an honour to talk about an immersive live experience like ‘Disco Dancer – The Musical’. To begin with, it was an absolute privilege to reimagine songs like, ‘Goron Ki Na Kalon Ki..’, ‘Yaad Aa Raha Hai’, ‘Jimmy Jimmy’ and the title song.

Akshay Kumar is known to share a pally rapport with Mithun Chakraborty. Apparently the duo got along pretty well after having done numerous films together. A source reveals, “The films have only brought them closer. During the Bangkok schedule of Entertainment, Akshay whispered something in Mithun’s ear and the next thing we saw is that Mithun was chasing Akshay all over the place. It was like they were playing catching cook.”
Director Sajid says, “Seeing their Tom and Jerry act, we’d wonder if we were actually shooting with such big stars.” Director Farhad adds, “We have grown up listening to ‘Disco Dancer’ and here Mithun and Akshay were just like kids. We did not expect that shooting with them would be so easy and comfortable.” When asked what was that Akshay whispered in Mithun Chakraborty’s ear Sajid says, “Well, that’s unprintable!”

For many women who enjoyed Bollywood during the 70s and 80s, Mithun Chakraborty was a heartthrob for many of them. Famous for films like Disco Dancer (1982) and Agneepath (1990), the legendary actor will be seen in the highly-anticipated film Kick, which stars Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in the leading roles.
Speaking about what was so special about Kick that motivated him to sign up to it (given that he is very selective about the roles he does), Mr Chakraborty responded, “After 375 films, I would say I’m fortunate to be able to consider carefully which roles I take on. I don’t accept a role for the sake of it, there has to be something special about the character that draws me to the film. When I read the Kick script I thought my character was hilarious, so I said yes. I thought it was a great project to be a part of.

As part of our look at a century of Indian cinema, here are some of our all-time favourite classic film soundtracks
Barsaat (1949)
Tragic love story Barsaat (Rain) was 25-year-old actor Raj Kapoor's first hit as a director and launched Bollywood's greatest playback singer Lata "Nightingale of India" Mangeshkar (who went on to record thousands of film songs over a career spanning seven decades and counting). Kapoor may have made finer films (Awaara, Shree 420), but Barsaat's songs (marking the debut of music directors, Shankar Jaikishan) of vulnerability, innocence and heartache, captured newly independent India's fragile imagination. Many consider Barsaat to have the greatest film songs of all time.
Pakeezah (1972)

Barsaat (1949)
Tragic love story Barsaat (Rain) was 25-year-old actor Raj Kapoor's first hit as a director and launched Bollywood's greatest playback singer Lata "Nightingale of India" Mangeshkar (who went on to record thousands of film songs over a career spanning seven decades and counting). Kapoor may have made finer films (Awaara, Shree 420), but Barsaat's songs (marking the debut of music directors, Shankar Jaikishan) of vulnerability, innocence and heartache, captured newly independent India's fragile imagination. Many consider Barsaat to have the greatest film songs of all time.

We present a special editorial blog from Kara Baer aka Filmi Girl as she writes an open letter to Americans making Bollywood parodies and asks them to please Stop!
I had been looking up articles relating to “Gangnam Style” for a completely different essay when Neil Patrick Harris’s latest “Puppet Dreams” Bollywood “parody” video fell right into my lap and proved my point. Which is this: Americans (and more broadly, those operating in the American-dominated cultural sphere) are either unable or just plain unwilling to engage with foreign cultural products beyond Lol!

Mumbai, Dec 21: Music director Bappi Lahiri has scored several chartbusters in his almost four decade-long Bollywood career. Be it 'I am a disco dancer', 'Boombai Nagariya' or the latest 'Ooh la la', the singer says his songs do well because he has always had his hands on the pulse of the youths.
'I always study the young generation a lot and my songs are never old,' said Lahiri.
'If you listen to Madan Mohanji, Naushadji or Laxmikant-Pyarelal, they are legends. Only R.D Burman's songs are still played and my songs, be it 'Raat baaki', 'Pag ghungroo', 'Disco dancer', which was used in 'Golmaal 3', become superhits. I.

The Dirty Picture is the upcoming biopic of sensual 80s screen siren, Silk Smitha, starring Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor.
When a film is called “The Dirty Picture” and is set in the 1980s, a decade not entirely reknowned in Bollywood for films filled with good taste and high artistic aspirations - you know there are going to be certain expectations of the soundtrack.
It was the era of Disco Dancer and Ilzaam, a decade when Bappi Lahiri’s infectiously cheesy disco anthems ruled the airwaves; an era (like now) when Bollywood also often looked South for inspiration, resulting in surprisingly saucy, glitz laden epic dance numbers in films like Himmatwala.
With The Dirty Picture soundtrack Vishal-Shekhar have essentially created a time-machine to transport the listener back to the full-on filmi glory of the early Eighties.

Veteran Bollywood star Robert 'Bob' Christo has died after suffering a heart attack. He was 72 years old.
The Indian actor, who had Australian heritage, passed away on 20 March in Bangalore, India.
Christo, who shortened his name to just Bob at the height of his Bollywood stardom, began his career as a qualified civil engineer before turning to modelling and acting. His big break came when he was hired to star as a villain in 1980 Hindi movie Abdullah.
He went on to make his name as a Bollywood bad guy, starring in more than 200 films including Kaalia, Disco Dancer and Mr. India, and often playing villainous roles.
Christo auditioned for a role in classic war movie Apocalypse Now, but lost out to Harrison Ford and instead used his civil engineering background to help build the film's sets, according to Variety.com.
He is survived by his wife, Nargis, and five children.
