Hot, Hot, Hot

Beedi Jalai-le Jigar Se Piya,
Jigar-ma Badi Aag Hai

Only, but only Gulzar can take a so-called item number, and turn it into sheer poetry. Take the above lines from a sexy nautanki number in Vishal Bharadwaj's forthcoming Omkara. I have only heard snatches, but they have been more than enough to convince me that this song is a winner. In fact, I think the rest of the Omkara soundtrack will also be hatke and quite interesting.
Apart from the paisa-vasool nature of the song which has Bips doing all the dehati jhatkas-matkas with great gusto, the music, by Bharadwaj himself, has a certain R D Burman feel to it. And teamed with Gulzar's lyrics, how can one go wrong?
If just the first two lines manage to ooze all that passion, sassiness and earthiness, then I can only imagine what the rest will be like.
Now only hope that the hon'ble Censor Board of India does not ban this number on the grounds that it "glorifies" smoking!
