Sadly, Mr Aziz didn’t impress

Right off the bat, I knew a couple of things about Shivali, the song from AK vs AK – firstly, it was a Hindi song with a liberal sprinkling of Marathi words, and secondly, it contained unrelated words that ended with -ali (besides Shivali, lyricist Rajeshwari Dasgupta Ghose used Diwali, mawaali, Manali, etc.)

It was three minutes and 11 seconds long, and despite the fact that its hook was, “Vedha Zhala”, it didn’t drive anyone crazy.

Nakash Aziz was at ease rendering the Alokananda Dasgupta composition, but that wasn’t surprising, because such songs are his forte.
