The phrase "traditional party song" has been nothing more than an oxymoron, until now. For his upcoming film, director-producer Karan Johar has included the song "Radha". A traditional song-turned-club-thumper of sorts, "Radha" was unveiled just recently, on the 26th of September, 2012. In the video, the movie's primary cast including Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan are clad in ethnic wear and are seen dancing to the track's catchy beats. With a traditional groove to it, "Radha' has vocals by Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani, Shekhar Ravjiani, Udit Narayan and gives the movie's soundtrack a little versatility.
As always, Karan Johar wanted his upcoming film's first song to be a punchy number, and had the video where one can Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt shaking their leg to the tune. The song sports portions of the late Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan's Disco Deewane released in 1981. A pop number produced by Indian producer Biddu, the song went on to break sales records in South-East Asia, selling nearly 1,00,000 records within a day.
As for his upcoming movie titled Student of the Year, Karan Johar has put Vishal-Shekhar's expertise to use. The film starring newcomers Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt features an interesting soundtrack that's bound to have you engrossed all along. With lyrics penned down by Anvita Dutt Guptan, the movie's soundtrack sports an assortment of music styles. While "Ishq Wala Love" shoulders towards the romantic side, sung by Shekhar Ravjiani, Salim Merchant, Neeti Mohan, the "Disco Song" is a reworked version of Disco Deewane sung by Benny Dayal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Nazia Hassan. And that's not all. The soundtrack also includes "Vele", a mix of Bhangra and HipHop, a song that's crafted for discotheques.
The movie will mark the debut of model-turned-actor Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Alia Bhatt is the daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt while Varun Dhawan is the son of director David Dhawan. The trio plays the role of students in an extravagant school participating in a competition, each battling it out to get their hands on the prestigious Student of the Year Trophy. The film is in essence a campus romance that portrays the ups and downs of a teenage life.
Student of the Year is Karan Johar's fifth directorial venture after his first Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), followed by Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010). The film is also Karan Johar's first without his lucky mascot and buddy Shah Rukh Khan, who has made an appearance in all the movies previously directed by the filmmaker. The Siddharth Malhotra-starrer "Student of the Year" will release on the 19th of October 2012.
