Bringing in the cultural essence of Maharashtra, Vidya has done justice to the song. Inspired by Madhuri Dixit and Smita Patil, Vidya Balan received rave reviews for her Lavani act in 'Mala Jau De' from 'Ferrari ki Sawari'. The music by Rajesh Roshan, set to lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, could be dubbed as lacklustre with the exception of an item number O Mungda Mungda filmed on Helen. Katrina is seen at her seductive best in a choli and dhoti in this song. Touted as the most awaited number, Katrina Kaif left no stone behind to emerge as the Lavani queen in 'Chikni Chameli' from 'Agneepath (2012)'.
#HELEN MUNGDA MOVIE#
This song from movie - 'Inkaar (1978)' gave Helen a chance to try something different apart from dancing as a cabret dancer in most of the films. Looking at the Bollywood’s connection with Maharashtra’s folk dance – Lavani, we bring you B-town’s top 6 unforgettable Lavani numbers.įeaturing on the top of the list, Helen's Mungda Mungda has been overtly loved for approximately four decades now. The song sounds peppy and is dedicated to 'Singham', but Kareena Kapoor keeping the Marathi vibe intact, steals the show.
Along with sensuous item numbers, Bollywood actors have been in limelight for their raunchy lavani dance moves.Įndearing its audience, Bollywood is back with another foot-thumping number by Yo Yo Honey Singh from 'Singham Returns'. ‘Total Dhamaal’ will be releasing later this month on the 22nd February, and also stars Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Arshad Warsi.Lavani, Maharasthrian folk dance form has been one of the most happening dance form among dancing divas. Inkaar starred Vinod Khanna and Vidya Sinha, and saw Helen in the delicious number O Mungda. “It’s always a pleasure working with him.” We do love her blue eyes which is the popular trend in Bollywood. “Since this was a dance number, I got the chance to pull Ajay’s leg as he hates dancing.” She added how even though it’s been several years, Devgn is one of those people to pick up a conversation from where they left off. Smiling, Sinha shares her delight in being able to pull Devgn’s leg. The dance number will feature Sinha and Ajay Devgn, who is one of the main leads in the Indra Kumar directorial bringing the pair together on screen once again, since their last film ‘Action Jackson’ (2014). Our version is a dance number with spruced-up music, lots of choreography and it’s nothing like the original song,” explains Sinha. Her father went missing during the Second World War. “Helen aunty’s grace and charm are unmatched, and it would be foolish to even try to copy her. Helen was born in Burma to an Anglo Indian father named George Desmier and a Burmese mother named Marlene. It’s great that we can repackage these iconic songs and present them to today’s generation,” said Sinha.Īsked if she feels any pressure to live up to the original, the ‘Ifttefaq’ (2017) actress said the approach is never to imitate. Chikni Chameli (Agneepath): Katrina’s electrifying Chikni Chameli grooves remind you of Helen’s Mungda item number.
“It’s a coincidence that my last performance to an iconic song also happened to be Helen aunty’s. Reported in Mumbai Mirror, Sinha will be shaking a leg to ‘Mungda’ which was originally picturised on Helen in ‘Inkaar’ (1978).
Sonakshi Sinha will be seen doing another classic item number in ‘Total Dhamaal’ following her last performance in ‘Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi’ (2017).
