PROPER PATOLA LYRICS TRANSLATION







Song: Proper Patola
Singer: Diljit Dosanjh, Badshah
Lyricist: Badshah
Composer: Badshah, Sachh

Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala
Shaahi chunni teri black

Beautiful girl,
Your attitude is swag
You wear a Patiala suit
Your royal scarf is black

O munde hounke bharde
Tainu takk takk ke
Turey jadon hath tu
Lakk utte rakh ke

Boys sigh,
Looking at you
When you walk with
Your hand on waist

Just another day
Launda ci main gediyan
Raah jandi vekhi
Gaddi karti main slow

It was just another day,
I was roaming
I saw you going,
I slowed down my car

Mastani chaal
Lagdi kamaal
Jandi jandi mera mind kargi tu blow

Your walk has fun in it
You look great
You blew my mind

Dus vichon dus tu
Kudi tu patola
Rabb jaane khaure kehra khandi tu anaaj

You score ten out of ten
You are a beautiful girl
Lord knows which food you eat

Lagdi tu hourglass
Gundva shareer tera
Lakk lachkaundi tu
Jataandi kiven naaj

You look like an hourglass
Your body is full
You sway your waist
And show pride

Look rab ne husna di
Rakhi koi thorh nhi
Gallan di laali nu
Makeup di koi lod nhi

There is no shortage of
Beauties created by God
Your red cheeks
Don’t need makeup

Phull gulaab de
Bull ne janaab de
Saunh lagge mummy di mainu
Tera koi tod nhi

Your lips are like
Roses
I swear on my mother,
There is nothing to save from you

Thoddi te til kaala
Kudiye ni baatan paave
Suit patiala
Gucci vucchi nu maataan paave

The mole on your cheek
Creates havoc,
Your Patiala suit
Defeats Gucci

Aa ghar tera ni main aape labh lau
Saanu bas das ja tu naa

I shall find your house myself,
Just tell me your name

planning + research on the verge of completion




Zikrah Ashfaq
Media Studies


Research: This document greatly focuses upon the hair and makeup of those individuals whom I choose to partake in the creation of my `Bollywood Music Promo`.

This document presents a thorough analysis of the hair and makeup that most Bollywood music premiers feature. As aforementioned the purpose of this assignment is to primarily present clear identification of the factors that lead me to making my final decision in regards to the hair and makeup   the `Actresses/actress ‘will have in my very own music promo. This document will not only allow me to finalize upon a decision but arguably it will also highlights the areas in which I could potentially improve upon in regards to making my `Music Pomo` as Bollywood like as possible.

Presented below are various factors that I have identified to continuously have been featured within several Bollywood music premiers. In light of this, I am inclined to believe that a combination of these factors will allow me to produce/develop a successful music premier.

Body Language

I have watched a vast number of Bollywood music promos several times in the attempt of identifying as many similarities between them all as possible. On the basis of the evidence currently available (the music promos that I have watched) It seems fair to suggest that all the main male actors in a Bollywood music promo all have great body posture. I am inclined to believe that India to an extent is still arguably a patriarchal society this is vividly displayed within the Bollywood music promos that I have carefully studied. The body language of the male actors seem to me demanding respect as opposed to the females’ actresses whom lack confidence. Having great posture would allow the male actors to establish somewhat of a greater (first) impression with the audience/ viewers in regards to them showing them that they are: self-confident, enthusiastic and hero-like. On logical grounds, great posture/body language would allow an actor to strengthen their verbal message. A form of justification for this is that the audience for a particular music promo is far more likely to take an actor seriously if they are self-confident, brave and strong as opposed to an actor whom lacks self- confidence, courage and strength.  After careful consideration I am inclined to believe that in Bollywood music promos body language plays a major contributing to the overall representation of an actor as it shows the audience a little more about them.  The phrase ` it’s not what you say, it’s what you do` is far more than relevant in this context as an actors  body language allows the audience to perceive an applicant in a number of different ways.

Eye Contact

Within society it has become far more than normal and normalized to maintain eye contact within a conversation as a form of respect regardless of whom you are talking to. On logical grounds such a `principle` should be applied to practically anything.  In Bollywood music promos all actors especially men maintain constant eye contact with the camera. This is advantageous for them as they are showing the audience that they are indeed worthy of respect, they can speak and do things with confidence and that they have self-esteem in which is an asset any individual in the audience would admire. After watching several Bollywood music promos it is apparent to me that primarily all the actors that star within the video maintain eye contact with the camera. In lights of this I believe that eye-contact plays a major role in contributing to the overall representation of the actor prior to it showing the audience that the actor is: confident, reliable and brave.


Dress

The first time the audience meets an actor in a Bollywood music promo they well notice the individuals’ outwards appearance which will allow them to a glimpse at their judgment skills and traits. Within a Bollywood music promo the way an applicant chooses to dress in an interview is highly dependent upon the type of video that they are planning to make. For instances: If an actor was playing a role of an individual with a high –level professional job in an place where wearing tailored suites is normal, showing up in anything else can give the indication to the audience that they do not understand what is to be expected from them nor do they care about establishing a great first impression with the. (In turn this can lead to the audience perceiving them as care-less and not hero-like.) Likewise, if an actor is playing the role of a teacher and they are dressed in club wear, they are showing the audience that they do not have the knowledge to read a situation correctly. This could also create confusion as the audience may not recognize what role the actor is playing which would mean they would not understand the deeper meaning behind the music promo. An actor’s appearance allows the audience of a particular Bollywood music promo to cast a judgment upon their professionalism and their confidence as it allows them to understand whether or not the actor or promo creator understands that there are standards and expectation within the Bollywood industry that need to be followed

 . In regards to the music promos I watched I have notice that the actors’ dresses seem to me similar and they are always dressed appropriately according to the norms of the Bollywood industry.

. On logical grounds, it is clear that if an actor was dressed in an incredibly unprofessional manner they would most- likely not receive the

Best first impression prior to the lack of professionalism and incorrect judgment.


Whilst watching several Bollywood music promos I have come to the concu

Thorough Magazine Analysis!

Text Box: Strapline. To sell Magazines image/reputation

Text Box: Title- dominates magazine
Big and bold, eye-catching due to the unique font used
Image result for indias coolest music magazine





Text Box: Anchor image usually a recognisable face in which in this case is true as Katrina Kapoor is a well know Bollywood actress.

Text Box: Featured stories. To gain audience attention.

Text Box: Text is present in a different form perhaps to gain the readers attention
Text Box: Mise-en-scene relates to the Bollywood genre. Indian style clothing suggests visually what type of genre the music magazine is which makes it easier for the audience to identify the magazine. Bollywood is known for its bright colours hence why the clothing is very detailed, and the rest of the magazine is quite simple.


Text Box: Barcode and issue details for selling purposes.
Price, date, issue, website, Baecode: it is apparent to me that the front cover of this particular magazine does not cointain a barcade. So therefore I assume that the barcode is on the back page of the magazine as neddless to say, it would not be able to be scanned. Avoiding use of this convention on the front cover makes the newspaper look more astetically pleasing as it removes any unattrativeness that the barcode could bring to the front page. This evidently means that less conventions will reomove the focus of the main image. The price, date, issue and website are all secreted well, as they are carefully positioned bellow the `B` in the text ` Bollywood` in a small, very faint, thin font.

Colour scheme: This particular front cover has no set colour scheme, many bright and vibrant colours are used. The only dominant colour on this magazine is black, which is featured in the fonts, in the models hair, in her shadows and on her wrist. As aforemntioned there is no barcode on the front cover which is a huge surprise.

Main cover line and quote: The main cover line has been positioned in the bottom left hand side of the front cover, along the middle of the models torso, this is the first hinr rhat the main image and the main cover line link together. The main cover line is in a bigger bright yellow bold sans serif font. With a slight drop glow around the edges. The quote postioned underneath the cover line links to the main cover line and plays a part in attrating the audience even more.

Masthead: This masthead is very unusal as it has half of it in a black sans serif font and half in a green serif font. These two combined give the masthead a `sassy`, juxtaposed, sophisticated and modernistic look. Which attracts audiences in a peculiar way. The masthead is designed so uniiquely that it goves the magaizne a foreign look, almost revealing the magazine is not constructed in the UK. The masthead also suggest that the mahazine should apple to a muture `fashionale` audience.
The main image: This main image consists of a well know `atractive` bollywood icon. I feel as if the actress is being over sexualsied and objectified and this is prior to what she is wearing and the posses she is pulling.  The poses she is pulling follows and relates to Laura Mulvey`s `male gaze theory as it attracts men to want a wife or girflriends just like her and attarcts women to want to look and be just like her. The image connates direct adress. The actress is holding a very informl stimulting stance. This attracts the target audience towards the magaine. The clothing the model is wearing is revealling as we can see her shoulders, collarbone and chest.  
Cover lines: the cover lines have been placed around the main image in a very peculir way. They have been positioned in the left and right column in the rule of thirds but all have different colours and font styles. They all vary in different colours ranging from yellow and white- red and white-pink and white, black and red-green. Some cover lines have bold or italic styled font and some have neon glows around the edge of the text. This means that the cover lines appear to be constructed by a child as theyre all brightly coloured and in your face. This makes the magazine look cheap and terminates the oull and allure that the main image has. 

Focus group.


Focus group 



I am inclined to believe that organising a focus group `discussion` was extremely advantageous for me prior to the useful material I had generated from it. It is well known in the eyes of many, than a focus group allows an individual, establishment or partnership (etc.) to learn more about opinions and viewpoints on a designated topic. In this particular case I was able to collect a range of views /opinions/ ideas that all emerged from listening to one (Bollywood) song.  On the basis of research currently available, it is apparent to me that many individuals’ views differentiate from one another prior to their culture, upbringing and age. In light of this, (after deep contemplation) I finalized a decision. I decided that it was best that I asked individuals of the same age rage to partake in my focus group discussion in order to generate a large number of opinions. So in conclusion I decided it was far more beneficial for me to ask 6 individuals whom were 18 and 6 individuals whom were between 20-25 years of age to participate in my focus group discussion. In regards to me being able to generate a number of different opinions and viewpoint as aforementioned.

Those whom I had selected to partake in my focus group discussions were asked several questions in regards to traditional and modern Bollywood music promos.


Presented below are the questions that I asked and the end results of all the date I had gathered.
(First question asked without showing participants the music video.)
Did you like the song, if so or if not state why?
Yes
o   Though I did not understand what was being spoke about I enjoyed listening to a different style of music as opposed to listening to my everyday playlist. ( Age 18)
o   I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the song, it was like nothing I had ever heard before. ( Age 18)
o   I felt as if the song was really relaxing and calming. ( Age 22)
o   I enjoyed listening to a new song, one that I could not image listening to before. Though I did not understand what was being said I enjoyed the beat of the song and the artists soothing voice. (Age 23)
o   I did understand the lyrics and found them somewhat relatable. ( Age 22)
o   I liked the fast beat.( Age 18)
No
o   I did not enjoy listening to the song as I did not understand the lyrics. ( Age 20)
o   It was quite upbeat for my liking and I did not understand what was being spoken about. ( Age  23)
o   I did enjoy listening to the song but I feel as if I would have liked the song a lot more if I had a basic understanding of what was being said. ( Age 18)
o   I did not like the pace that the song was flowing at.( Age 25)




How did the music make you feel?
Postives +
o   I felt as if the song was really relaxing and calming.
o   The song made me feel happy as I found it really soothing yet oddly satisfying.
o   The song intrigued me as I had never heard anything quite like it before, in all honestly it made me feel excited for no apparent reason whatsoever
o   The song made me feel happy, somewhat hyper but confused at the same time. The main reason of my confusion was the fact that I did not understand the lyrics.
o   After listening to the song I wanted to listen to more songs like it. As it made me feel curious.
o   After listening to the song I found myself to be incredibly energised, happy and relaxed.
Negatives _
o   I did not enjoy listening to the song as I did not understand the lyrics. So it made me feel confused and somewhat uncomfortable.
o   It was quite upbeat for my liking and I did not understand what was being spoken about so I did not feel relaxed or soothed at all. In fact I felt the exact opposite.

o   I did enjoy listening to the song but I feel as if I would have liked the song a lot more if I had a basic understanding of what was being said. So therefore the song made me feel confused but not as relaxed as I had liked.
o   The pace of the music gave me a headache.

Costume ideas- Male

After watching many Bollywood music promos i have reached a firm decision in regards to the customers i will make the male actors were. In the vast majortiy of the music videos that i have seen i have noticed that the male actors tend to wear traditional outfits. So i have decided that in my own music video i will make the actors wear traditional Bollywood outfits in which consists of a salwar and kameez.

Costume ideas.

In a number of  Bollywood music videos that I have seen, I have noticed that the families actors are often wearing traditional outfits. The outfits are nomarlly red, grey or pink. Taking all these factors into account i have decided that the female actors in my music video will wear red outfits. Their outfits will be heavily detailed as the outfits worn in Bollywood music premieres are heavily detailed
