Main toh Superman, Salmaan ka fan!

At the outset let me extend my greetings to Kausar Munir, the lyricist of the hit number from the upcoming Bollywood flick Tevar(the song is already ruling the charts) . A well versed man who has exercised his high level of wit by paying a befitting ode to the megastar of Hindi Cinema. Given the quirky nature of the song, I sat down to decipher its lyrics in my own way. 

Much to the liking of the choreographer, the song begins with the leading actor(Arjun Kapoor) flexing his muscles claiming that he fears no one. With the daredevil punk cold intent in his eyes, he seems to be serious, really! He goes on to acknowledge that he is the superman & also a Salmaan’s fan. Quite evident! given the kind of stature that the actor has harnessed over the years, he is definitely one of the most decorated artists in the industry today. The song pays an apt tribute to the rockstar, infact the song places him above one of the most powerful superhero, when the lyrics of the song reads, “Main toh Superman, Salmaan ka fan”. Technically if Supermen is a fan of Salmaan then certainly his highness must be above Superman himself. I would be lying if I didn't mention that the song has been sort of a monologue written in praise of Salmaan Khan.

The song is out in stores & is already a hit, if not less. And you know how things are made a bigger hit these days, ofcourse by promoting it on national TV! Promotional activity is more of a common sight these days. At first the entire cast of a cinema work really hard to make a decent movie & then climb the stage of various reality shows to promote their work. They  literally beg you to go & watch their cinema. Don't they? At times people do get beguiled & waste their hard earned money on some pathetic movie & thus the show goes on!

Mr. Khan, as a person certainly has a heart carved out of gold but that doesn't make him a demigod either. Being an ardent fan of music I hold quality music in high esteem, but when you try to do too many things you mess the things up. Meanwhile I have no intent to pull the legs of lyricist saheb, that was just an arbitrary point of view. 

On the contrary being a Salmaan fan can fetch you the coveted title of Superman, by corollary method. No doubt after listening to this song millions of Sallu fans would have started getting a feel of their swollen chest with sheer pride, these are the little things which filmy Indians take pride in. It also grants them an edge when comparing their favourite star with the likes of other khans. Anyways, a song is a good song until folks enjoy it. And Salmaan has another reason to be proud of himself. I wish the film all the luck & just hope that Superman fans don't get offended & ask for a ban on the film or file a lawsuit in the Mumbai high court.
