Malaika Arora is like a brand ambassador of Zandu balm!

Malaika Arora

Malaika Arora is like a brand ambassador of Zandu balm: The ‘Munni’ song from Dabangg not only catapulted the popularity of Malaika Arora but also of Zandu balm. Remember the line Main Zandu balm hui darling tere liye.
The balm manufacturers, miffed about the use of their brand name in the song, had issued a notice to the Dabangg makers.

Thus Munni aka Malaika came to the rescue of her husband Arbaaz Khan, the producer of the film, and in an out-of-court settlement, the problem got solved. “It was always a win-win situation for both sides.

We will have tie-ups with their company. Malaika will be their brand ambassador,” Arbaaz confirms to a tabloid.

Earlier, Malaika has also endorsed Chaini Khaini, a kind of leavened tobacco.

Adman Prahlad Kakkar, who knows both the parties, acted as a mediator and helped in sorting out the issue.

It’s learnt Prahlad will soon direct Malaika in the balm ad. Shall we expect gyrations like Munni’s?

Dabangg’s latest item song Munni makes Zandu Balm badnaam?

Dabangg’s latest item song Munni makes Zandu Balm badnaam?: “Main Zandu Balm hui, darling tere liye” gyrates Malaika Arora to the popular item song ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ from the current box office rage Dabangg starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles.

But the line hasn’t gone down well with the makers of the Zandu Balm, a pain relief ointment. From what we hear, the company has sent a legal notice to producers Arbaaz Khan, Malaika Arora, Shri Ashtavinayak and director Abhinav Kashyap for using the company’s popular brand name in the song without permission.

The company’s counsel Ashok M Saraogi has sent a notice which reportedly says: “In the song, the name Zandu balm has been used continuously at various places. By using the brand name in the song, you have not only violated the copyright of my clients, but you have also made an attempt to defame the reputation of my clients and the product manufactured by them.”

The manufacturers of Zandu balm want the name deleted from the song.

Salman Khan with Bollywood SuperStar at Dabangg Premiere

Salman Khan with Bollywood SuperStar at Dabangg Premiere: Salman Khan  looked stylish in black and beamed with confidence at the premiere of his much hyped corrupt cop thriller Dabangg in Mumbai.

He opted for a dapper look: half sleeve shirt, slim pants, and black dress shoes. He accessorized with his signature bracelet and a black leather belt studded with blue stones, matching the ones on his bracelet. His hair was slicked back.

Salman arrived at the venue with sister Arpita Khan who looked a doll in a black halter gown.

He personally received Bollywood veterans Dharmendra, Jitendra, Sanjay Khan and Shatrughan Sinha, and posed with them for photogs.

He walked the red carpet with Sonakshi Sinha looking rather somber, standing next to the débutante with a wide smile.

Salman's fans thronged the venue, eager to steal a glance of the star. He greeted them with a wave and shook hands with some.

He was thrilled to receive gifts from some of them. A gift that he particularly liked was a portrait of him, with which he posed for photogs.

Salman, 44, seems to have put his heart and soul into promoting Dabangg. He has looked transformed while doing so, appearing fit and youthful, with not a trace of puffiness or redness in his eyes.

He was up early this morning at 6:45am to greet his fans over Twitter:

"Eid mubarak, I am with milind deora for a morning walk I asked abt the remand home in his constituency?? He says: I will take care of it!"

Dabangg Movie Review - Music Review - Salman Khan Dabangg

Dabangg Movie Review - Music Review - Salman Khan Dabangg: Hud Hud! Here comes desi Robinhood aka Salman Khan with his film Dabangg and its full-on-masti music. The promos are already a hit on the small screen. So what is lined up for the music buffs, or, to say, Sallu fans?

Dabangg

Sajid-Wajid, Salman’s favourite composer duo is back after Veer, creating songs for Dabangg as well. So, plug-in to Dabangg music, which for sure is going to entertain you.

In a typical Sajid-Wajid style, the album begins with Tere Mast Mast Do Nain, a Bollywood romantic number soused in sufi flavour. If Rahat Fateh Ali Khan delivers the song in his usual vigour, Shreya Ghosal’s saccharine voice adds melody to the song. Deadly combo and terrific rendering! However, the remix version of the song fails to make a mark. Rahat again wins hearts with the sad version of the song which is slow and immensely passionate.

Welcome Munni Badnam Hui song and get into the Dabangg rustic mood. The masala track has Malaika Arora’s thumkas, so expect the screen to sizzle. Newcomer Lalit Pandit is the composer of the song and gets Mamta Singh and Aishwarya to sing this raunchy number, and one will definitely enjoy its catchy lyrics, main jhandu bam hui darling tere liye - that’s mind-boggling. Well, the credit goes to lyricist Jalees Sherwani. Alas! the remix version of the song has not much to offer.

The album slips into mushy mood with Chori Kiya Re Jiya. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal team up again to give us a love ballad. But the track falls short of expectations; sadly it is just an average number.

Now comes the true Dabangg song. Hud Hud Dabangg is gritty and valorous in tone and who else than Sukhwinder to sing it. As usual, the crooner has done a brilliant job with this number which makes it one of the must-hear songs in the whole album. So what if it’s a bit similar to the Omkara track.

Hamka Peeni Hai, is another song that promises sharab, shabab and music. The folk based song crooned by Wajid with Master Salim is full on masti which makes it undoubtedly a treat for the Salman maniacs. The remix version is racy and saucy; get ready to have a blast.

The most entertaining of the lot seems to be the Dabangg theme, which is extensively used in the promos. The instrumental song has some of Salman’s dhasu dialogues from the film too. Like a fireball, the theme song enthralls.

Music directors have done full justice to the album and to Salman’s character. The actor’s die-hard fans will surely not be disappointed. The groovy songs bustle with vim and fun.

You would like to hear - Hud Hud Dabangg, Tere Mast Mast Do Nain, Munni Badnaam.
