An analysis of how the song of Tevar has been appreciated by listeners
7:56 AM
Eepsita Guha (BOMBAY TIMES; December 22, 2014)
Tevar, featuring Arjun
Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee in lead roles, is a tale of
unrequited love. Pintoo Shukla (Arjun), a local kabaddi champion in
Agra, takes it upon himself to protect Radhika (Sonakshi)
from Gajender Singh (Bajpayee), a local Bahubali from Mathura. Produced
by Sanjay Kapoor, Sunil Lulla, Naresh Agarwal and Sunil Manchanda, the
film marks the directorial debut of ad filmmaker Amit Ravindernath
Sharma.
One of the highlights of the film is its music. Composed by Sajid-Wajid, the songs have caught the audience's fancy and feature on almost every music chart. What's interesting about the album is that it brings back typical Bollywood music - be it a romantic track between the leads or an introductory song of the hero and heroine or an item number. Says Wajid, “This is a complete masala album.“
SUPERMAN
Sajid-Wajid composed this song even before the script narration. Amit wanted a number that had enough attitude to go with the film and the duo could think of nothing better. While the original has been sung by Wajid, Mika has rendered the remix version. The makers even involved locals from Mathura and Agra in the song to lend authenticity to it.
Arjun, who loved the track from the word go, says, “The response has been overwhelming. It encapsulates the spirit of the film.“ What's more, Prabhu Dheva and Shaan even called the music director duo to congratulate them on the song.
Says Wajid, “Superman reflects Pintoo's street-smart lingo and his care-a-damn attitude. The line combines two heavyweights - Superman and Salman Khan.“ Adds Sajid, “This is our second film with Boney sir and we were confident that he would give our song a large canvas.“
JOGANIYA
It's an unconventional romantic track with husky vocals by Shruti Haasan. The song was shot in the rain for three consecutive nights. It was Amit who suggested that Shruti should render the song. “Joganiya had a body, but it needed a soul and that's exactly where Shruti came in.She is a trained singer, but has never attempted something like this,“ he states.
LET'S CELEBRATE
Several people were keen on signing Dutch pop
star Imran Khan for their films. But the singer-rapper, who shares a warm
rapport with Sanjay, agreed to be a part of his movie. Says Imran, “It
was great fun working with the team. I hope this song too gets the kind
of love that Amplifier got here.“
Adds Sanjay, “I'm glad that Imran agreed to associate himself with our film. His fans have made the song popular.“ What makes this number all the more special is that Sonakshi has made her singing debut with it. It was Imran who convinced her to croon a few lines. She says, “The song is shot in a fun selfie style. It adds a hip hop flavour to the album.“
Not just that, Prabhu Dheva dropped in on the set while the track was being shot. He loved it so much that he spent ample time with the lead stars while they rehearsed for the song along with choreographer Remo D'Souza.
RADHA NACHEGI
Radha Nachegi is Sonakshi's introductory song in the film. Shot at Maheshwar Ghat in Indore, the number is an extravagant affair. Even though Sonakshi suffered from back problems while shooting for the song, she would rehearse for it through the day and then shoot for it at nights. Says she, “I felt like a diva shooting for this number.“ Says the director, “It's an amalgamation of traditional music and contemporary hip hop.“
MADAMIYA
The fun track, sung by Mika Singh, features Shruti in a sensual avatar along with Arjun. Shruti, who had heard the song in the studio while recording Joganiya, liked it so much that she wanted to be part of it.
The song had several long dance sequences.Despite not having rehearsed for it, the actress performed flawlessly, leaving the unit impressed.Recalls Arjun, “Shruti and I had a blast shooting for the song and that shows on screen.“
Tevar, produced by Eros International and Sanjay Kapoor Entertainment, releases January 9.

Sonakshi Sinha's expressions, moves add chutzpah to Radha Nachegi-Ritu Pathak
7:53 AM
Ritu Pathak is thrilled with Sonakshi Sinha's performance on her song Radha Nachegi from Tevar
Debarati Sen (BOMBAY TIMES; December 19, 2014)
The song Radha Nachegi
(Tevar) has the foot-tapping Sajid-Wajid trademark yet the classical
nuances make it stand out. Tell us more about this song.
This song has a different fragrance altogether with semi-classical and western attitudes. It begins with the classy ad-lib and then there is the chorus Radhe Radhe with heavy Indian percussion, after which the mukhda starts and finally the hook comes to Music bajega loud toh Radha nachegi... There is the rap by Danish Shabri, also the sitar, shankh, nagada etc - I believe this song is one of the most dynamic compositions of Sajid-Wajid sirs. Glad I was chosen to sing it, because it gave me a chance to show my versatility as a singer. Sonakshi Sinha has done complete justice to this song - she is a marvelous dancer and not just that, her expressions and moves add to the chutzpah of the song.
Your earlier numbers like Papa Jag Jayega (Housefull) and Gandi Baat (R...Rajkumar) are dance numbers of a similar genre. How have you sung Radha...differently?
This song is very different from my other songs. Its composition is hatke. It is not easy to render the ad-lib notes and the semi classical music in western style but Wajid sir helped me a lot. After the recording was over, I still could not believe I actually managed to sing it.
You are from Madhya Pradesh and have been singing since you were a four-year-old kid...
I am from a very small village in Madhya Pradesh, you can't even it call it a small town. There was almost no exposure to popular music there. As a kid, I would sing along with my father, who is a gifted singer and would play at orchestras and small gatherings in the evenings, after work. He encouraged me a lot for he believed that music is God's gift to me. I got my basic vocal music lessons from my guruji in Nagpur. I would travel by bus for three hours for my classes. We were not financially sound at that time but my father did all he could to support me. He also accompanied me for the auditions of a reality singing show but that did not work out.
Tell us about your musical journey from MP to Mumbai...
Around eight years ago I came to Mumbai and then began my struggle. I looked up phone numbers and followed music directors. I met Anand Raj Anand sir and began singing scratches for presentations. After two years of calling up every now and then, I finally got an appointment to meet Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, where I waited for five hours to finally be allotted five minutes to prove myself. I sang two different songs for them and they liked it. In two months, they called me and asked me to sing a song for their ongoing movie. I recorded the next day and that's how Papa Jag Jayega happened, my first break. After that, Pritam Sir gave me Razia Gundo Mein Phans Gayi from Thank You, and then Anandji gave me one another of my big songs, Jalebi Bai. Over the years, my journey has been a real struggle but I have seen the fruits of my hard work, determination and patience and a lot of blessings. I am enjoying my journey and all its fantastic moments, all its ups as well as downs. I am happy and eagerly waiting to do much better in future.
How has playback singing changed in the Hindi film industry?
It has changed drastically. Earlier, it was fixed singers for particular actors and actresses. However, these days, the tone and feel of a voice are much more important. It does not matter anymore who the heroine is - the song should sound awesome. And because of this, playback singing is now open for all singers. Of course, it depends on talent, texture and the feel of a voice but, one needs luck to get a break here.

Tevar: When Agra got Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and its own filmy couture
7:36 AM
Ankur Pathak (MUMBAI MIRROR; December 10, 2014)
Subarna Ray Chaudhuri and Amit Sharma had worked with filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar in the past. So, when they teamed up for Tevar, their sensibilities were completely in sync.
"Amit describes a character by enacting it. The characters of Radhika (Sonakshi Sinha) and Pintoo (Arjun Kapoor) were etched in his system. They were his best of friends," says the designer who has tailored the costumes for films like Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Parineeta and more recently, Lootera and Kick.
Sonakshi's Radhika in Tevar, despite being a small-town girl, is relatively more liberated than Lootera's Palki whom Subarna had cloaked conservatively in saris and salwar kurtas. "I dressed Radhika in basic denims teamed with a vibrant kurti and a chiffon jacket. She also carries a sling bag or a backpack as she is a student. Not too fashion-forward but neither painfully traditional--much like Agra itself," she says.
The city plays an important character in the film. So, it was important for Subarna to ensure that the vibe of the tourist town is reflected in her characters' wardrobes. She went shopping in Agra and Mathura."I picked up sweaters, salwar suits and shawls from Sadar Bazaar where Agraites shop from. I also bought short, sleeveless kurtas which men wear over Tees and sweaters in bulk. They are very 'in' with the locals there. I picked them in colours ranging from red, orange and emerald green to brown, blue and even white," she elaborates.
Subarna would then spend hours discussing the colours with the film's cinematographer Laxman Utekar to ensure that the film's tonal consistency was maintained.
"I spent weeks in Agra and Mathura observing that most guys really love body-fit Tees irrespective of how fit they are," she chuckles. "These Tees help them show off some muscle. They also roll up their trousers to the knees, something I suggested Arjun do too."
Accessories were kept to the bare minimum. "I singled out a neckpiece from the local market, added a pendant, a nose-pin and a payal to complete Radhika's look. She is not an outspoken girl; rather she is soft and feminine. If I cluttered her up with too many accessories I would set her apart from the crowd," Subarna points out.
She makes a special mention of the Radha Nachegi chartbuster where Sonakshi is dressed in a white ethereal ensemble. The designer chose white as it reflects purity.
"She is wearing a gown-ghagra combo, with the blouse or choli stitched in. Remo (choreographer Remo D'Souza) wanted pleats in the dress as she had to turn while dancing to reveal her elaborate ensemble. I went for golden pleats as it makes for a stunning combo with the white and the result is quite lovely," she beams with satisfaction.
Sonakshi Sinha shows off her dance moves in Radha Nachegi from Tevar
7:45 AM
BOMBAY TIMES (November 26, 2014)
Sonakshi Sinha has put on
her dancing shoes once again for the newest song from Tevar,
titled Music Bajega Loud Toh Radha Nachegi. Choreographed by Remo
D'Souza, the song has the actress sporting an offwhite lehenga-choli as
she matches steps with 100 dancers. Sonakshi was excited about the dance
number and even rehearsed extensively to ensure that she
gets the moves right.
Says she, “I felt like a diva while shooting for the song. A lot of hard work went into its making and I hope people enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it.“
The song has been shot on a grand scale at Maheshwar Ghat in Indore. Since the Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi and Manoj Bajpayee-starrer is partly based in Mathura, a set that replicated the beauty of the town was specially erected.
Producer Sanjay Kapoor says, “Radha has been shot in an opulent manner. With its larger-than-life set, it will remind you of the songs that used to be popular in the 80s, but at the same time, it has a contemporary twist.“ Adds producer Sunil Lulla, “Sajid-Wajid have given us a beautiful composition and the choreography by Remo takes it a notch higher. I think this track will make its way to clubs and college campuses.“ The film is co-produced by Sunil Manchanda and Naresh Agarwal.
Tevar, produced by Eros International and Sanjay Kapoor Entertainment, releases January 9.

Check out Sonakshi Sinha shooting for a grand song of Tevar
8:00 AM
Ankur Pathak (MUMBAI MIRROR; February 19, 2014)
Here’s Sonakshi Sinha in Tevar dancing to a classic-contemporary festive number, Music Bajega Loud To Radha Nachegi, composed by Sajid-Wajid. The choreographer is Remo D’Souza. Filmed near the famous Maheshwar Lake in Indore, the crew shot the song over five days in extremely chilly weather. Said Remo, “On the first day, all my dancers fell ill as it was unbelievably cold. We could only resume shooting the next day. A massive set was erected and this is the biggest song I’ve ever shot.” Meanwhile, Sonakashi is receiving complements for her resemblance to Sridevi. “It’s extremely flattering,” she quipped. When asked if she’s lost weight for this particular number, she smiled saying, “I’ve been consistently working out and the result is for everybody to see.”
