I concede with the part that the hype generated by "bringing a huge international star to sing a song in a mega-budget bollywood film" will be the undoing of Chiggy Wiggy.
Why waste precious foreign currency in paying millions to such high charging personality - whose special gifts didn't get highlighted in the song at all - when any of the many Indian female singers could have rendered the song as well or even better or not so much worse than her at a micro fraction of that cost? But yeah, I also concede that the sky is not going to fall and earth is not going to die with the way Chiggy Wiggy is, as the article and the Jahanzeb's views make it sound like. Chalta hai yaar. An occasional good song by a pathetic MD makes you hopeful about him. An occasional "low" song by a great MD makes you appreciate his so many other great songs even more. Chiggy Wiggy has low shelf life, I feel. It will become quite popular very fast and people will forget it quite soon. btw, I have seen movies becoming hit on the shoulders of a single hit song, but I have never seen any movie "flopping" on account of a "low" song. Could anyone give an example of that if a song had become the doom for a film? Kuchh bhi bhavishyawani karte hain jo ateetwani bhi nahin ho saki hai. -- Rawat On 9/19/2009 10:47 PM India Time, _Jahanzeb_ wrote: > I would be completely honest saying that to me Chiggy Wiggy is not > less than a disaster, given the huge hype and everything around it. > bringing a huge international star to sing a song in a mega-budget > bollywood film music composed by double Oscar winner ARR, and the > result?
