Tayyab Ali Pyaar ka Dushman
Film: Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara
Qawwali tadka: Actor Imran Khan adds a new-age twist to the Tayyab Ali Pyaar ka Dushman track, which was once made popular by Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh starrer Amar Akbar Anthony in 1977.
Duma Dum Mast Kalandar
Film: D-Day
Qawwali tadka: Nothing can go wrong with a Duma Dum Mast Kalandar version. Mika Singh's voice for this version, adds the sufi qawwali touch to this already beautiful track. Music composers Shankar Mahadevan, Loy Mendonsa and Ehsaan Noorani add their style to the track and make it something you would want to play on a loop.
Karle Jugaad Karle
Film: Fukrey
Qawwali tadka: Young, funky soundtrack with a qawwali twist, the song's quirky lyrics and uptempo music has caught on. Music director Ram Sampath's idea was to make a young and funky soundtrack that represents the youth of India who don't have money or connections. Well, the song kept the essence of qawwali not just in the music but also in the four actors get-up which included the glitzy topi, sadri and rumaal.
Allah Meherban
Film: Ghanchakkar
Qawwali tadka: Qawaali meets electro-pop. The track, Allah Meherban is a sufi qawwali composed by Amit Trivedi. Interestingly, this is Emraan's first qawwali number. The peppy andenergetic song also has a promotional video. According to director Rajkumar Gupta, the song adds to the quirkiness of the story and makes Emraan's character identifiable.
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
Film: Policegiri
Qawwali tadka: A feel of sufi qawwali along with Sanju Baba's dance moves adds to the song. Unlike the usual set-up of a qawwali track, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom comes across as a dance number with a feel of a sufi qawwali, minus the topi, sadri and rumaal. Sanjay definitely adds the star value to the song, as he grooves with Prakash Raj.
