Deepika Padukone’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’ to beat ‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’

Post ‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’, item numbers have become the latest rage in Bollywood. Reports have it that Deepika Padukone’s item song in ‘Dum Maro Dum’ has more oomph and boldness than has been seen on the screen so far. The lyrics of the song, too, are quite bold. The track has several references to sex and drugs. Initially, Deepika was hesitant given the nature of the lyrics and the inherent innuendo. But after some convincing and seeing the creative visuals for the song she decided to go for it.
This is how the song’s lyrics go:
Hey…kya phir dekh raha hai,
Aaj aankhen sek raha hai
kal haath sekega,
Aaj dheel chhod raha hai,
kal khud hi tokega,
Aaj mere liye chair kheech raha hai
kal meri skirt kheechega,
Kheechega ki nahi?
The first look of the song shows Deepika sporting a king cobra tattoo with the words Dum Maro Dum in between the tattoo on her midriff. The outfits have been designed by stylist Anahita Shroff Adajania.
The song has been composed by Pritam and will be choreographed by Bosco in a new form of fast paced dancing style. Says Bosco, “We certainly want the track to reach at least the level set by Munni. We’ve used a new form of aggressive dance called Krumping. It is very fast-paced and not easy. Apart from your body, you need to work your mind on it.”
