(Off topic-These are fairs where the local goons, along with their side kicks show their might and vie for the dancing girl's attention)
The song has been picturised on Saif and the dancing (item) girl is Bipasha, who through her graceful yet seductive dance moves combined with some mind blasting situational lyrics by Gulzar makes the song a delight. One must not fail to mention the perfect rendition by Sukhwinder makes it one of the finest dance numbers heard in a while.
One superb composition follows another. Listed as 'Naina', it is more 'heer' like (Punjabi form of tragic singing) in its nature. Qudos to the versatility of this extremely talented singer -Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. He is simply amazing and proves that he is a worthy successor to his illustrious uncle (late) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan . Gulzar's lyrics are straight from the-heart "Naino ki mat maniyon, Naino ki mat suniyo Naina thag lenge". Some lively sitar beats dominate the 'antras'.
'Namak' is the expected 'mujra', picturised yet again on the sultry Bipasha Basu. The 'mujra', was a form of dance-cum-singing and originated more from North-East India (mainly U.P and partly Bihar) which was common a few decades back, during the era of the 'nawabs and the wealthy landlords. It still has its presence in these parts .
It is partly 'qawwali', complete with harmonium (Firoz Shah), 'tabla' and 'tutti'. The basic rhythm resembles a well known 'naat' (Muslim devotional hymn) tune. Rekha Bhardwaj is more nasal than required, though she conveys the raunchy message by her singing style.
