A Hindi movie is going on.
The hero is a Marathi cop and the heroine is also a Marathi. They reside in Goa. They fall in love. What language can they sing in?
- Hindi - Because it is a Hindi movie.
- Marathi - Because they are a Marathi couple.
- Konkani - Because they reside in Goa.
Nope. They sing in Punjabi, because it is Bollywood.
Wait! What?
Completely illogical right?
There are too many Punjabi songs in Bollywood movies, way too many. And mostly, these songs are beaten and bruised versions of popular Punjabi songs.
The couple goes to a pub, there’s a Punjabi song.
The couple is sad, there’s a Punjabi song.
A group of friends go to a pub, there’s a Punjabi song.
It is a marriage, there’s a Punjabi song.
There are just too many Punjabi songs!!
And another issue is the horrendous rap and the fact that the composers brutally murder English in these songs.
Promise water never coming down from your eye.
That is a line taken from Badshah’s latest song. If Shakespeare would have heard that line, he’d take a rebirth again only to commit suicide.
Bad English is never an issue, but brutally bad English is a problem.
And the fact that these so-called ‘rappers’ have reduced Punjabi songs to drugs, drinks, cars and shoes is criminal. Not to mention the objectification of women.
One of my friends who is a native Punjabi always sends me the original song whenever a Bollywood Punjabi remix is released. And the original is actually good, why spoil it?
What am I tired of seeing in Bollywood movies?
- Too many Punjabi songs in Bollywood.
- Killing some really good Punjabi songs for Bollywood.
- Horrendously picturising these Punjabi songs.
- Those useless Punjabi rappers.
