It seems that Hrithik Roshan, sometime in the unfortunate past when Krrish 3 was being made alongside Ram Leela, had said to the mirror in his gym, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the shiniest man-cleavage of them all?” The mirror replied, “ Ranveer Singh .”
At which point, papa Rakesh Roshan ripped a few buttons off some shirts, son Hrithik bought a few gallons of body oil and together, they shot the song Dil Tu Hi Bata. In this song, Roshan junior shows off his multipurpose thorax - torso for Roshan, mirror for anyone stranded in the deserted where the song is set, corrugated metal sheet for any shack-dweller who needs a roof over their head.
This three minute long advertisement for Roshan’s intensely muscled chest is complemented with a prop otherwise known as actor Kangana Ranaut.
Informed people in the world of movie rumours tell us that Ranaut plays a dangerous mutant alien in Krissh 3. No doubt that’s why Ranaut’s hair is almost as multiplicitous as Roshan’s chest: it’s everything from a beehive to a replica of the Sydney Opera House. And that’s just in these three minutes. One can only marvel at its mutating abilities, although we’re quite certain that we’ve seen a number of those hairstyles in our misspent kiddiehood when we watched The Flintstones.
Ranaut’s wardrobe in this song is definitely alien and for some reason, she adopts the pose of a cat waiting to be shooed away (in a sequinned slip). Perhaps that’s how aliens woo each other.
Finally, if you thought Taher Shah’s Eye to Eye was as awful as a song could get, you were wrong. _’_Dil Tu Hi Bata’ begins with a tinkling prelude that usually heralds the coming of a ghost in a horror story before transitioning into a series of plaintive wails. The musical arrangements sound like the pre-programmed tracks that old synthesisers used to have: repetitive, tinny and vaguely tuneless.
