Double meaning songs of bollywood

We've all experienced the evolutionary change in Bollywood music - lyrics, tunes and composition.

And we've criticized and attributed this change mostly to emergence of new wave of music and new age singers/rappers like Yo Yo Honey Singh, Baadshah, Meet Bros, etc.

But if you look closely, Bollywood music has been adulterated since decades. Lyrics are often hidden behind the beat or sometimes the beat elevates the lyrics. 

Bollywood has always used varied and unconventional elements to depict sexuality and romance. From showcasing visual objects to usage of sly camera angles to using lyrics with double meaning, Bollywood has mastered the art of it all.

But who do we point our fingers at? Honestly speaking, everyone is party to this mischief - film producer, film director, music director, censor board and even the actors who shake their booty to these dance tracks.

With a certain section of audiences secretly showing admiration towards such songs, is the furore justified? It all boils down to money.

Here are some reasons such songs are created

- Instant connect with certain audiences (youth appeal)
- Buzz creation for promotion of new films
- Hoping for controversial lyrics to generate additional PR
- A film scene calls for such a song situation 
- To serve as a strong recall on audience's minds
- Shortcut to becoming a music chart-buster 

We’ve compiled some of the popular eyebrow-raising Bollywood songs which will intrigue you and at the same time bring a mischievous smile instantly. A quick trip down the memory lane

Rukmani Rukmani (Roja - 1992) 


Choreographed by Prabhudeva, this is one of the most popular dance track from Tamil origin musical thriller film ‘Roja’. 
Double-entendre lyrics: 

Rukmani rukmani shaadi ke baad kya kya hua 
Kaun haraa kaun jeeta khidaki mein se dekho jara 
Ho ho o, ho ho o ho ho o 
Ungli se chhua hoga kanp gayi gori tab 
Ho ho o, ho ho o ho ho o 
Kaamdev mast hoke nachne lage they tab 
Ho ho o, ho ho o ho ho o 


Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai (Khalnayak - 1993) 


This cult dance song was a super hit track of the 90s. Madhuri Dixit rose to fame thanks to this bold number that travelled far and across.
Double-entendre lyrics:

Choli ke peeche kya hai, choli ke peeche
Chunari ke neeche kya hai, chunari ke neeche


Sarkai Lo Khatiya (Raja Babu - 1994)


Undeniably, Govinda - Karisma Kapoor were one of the most hit and loved jodis of Bollywood onscreen. And for a comedy drama film like ‘Raja Babu’ a song like ‘Sarkai Lo Khatiya’ just added to the film’s appeal.
Double-entendre lyrics:

Suyi chubhe koyi shola sa bhadake
Suyi chubhe koyi shola sa bhadake 


Bholi Bhali Ladki (Sabse Bada Khiladi - 1995)


Akshay Kumar was a hit machine in the 90s with his Khiladi series. This song epitomises the kind of movies he enjoyed popularity for.

Bholi bhaali ladki kholu tere dil ki pyaar waali khidaki hoo
Nahin nahin abhi nahin abhi nahin piya
Chhedo nahin aise mujhe darataa hai jiya


Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna (Karan Arjun - 1995)


With Salman Khan - Shah Rukh Khan in the lead roles and Amrish Puri as the villain, this song is set to seduce his gang.
Double-entendre lyrics:

Chatt pe soya tha behnoi
Main tanne samajh ke sogai
Mujhko Rana ji maaf karna
Galti mhaare se hogayi


In The Night No Control (Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi - 1996)


Another hit song from the Khiladi series, this song is picturised on a romantic setting between Akshay Kumar and Rekha.
Double-entendre lyrics:

In the night no control
Kya karu kuch toh bol
Tod de ye badan
Take my love
Take my soul


Bhaag D. K. Bose (Delhi Belly - 2011)


The controversy created by this song for its pun-intended lyrics gave the film hype and publicity, which the film couldn’t have raked in otherwise.
Double-entendre lyrics:

Bhaag bhaag D K Bose, D K Bose, D K Bose
Bhaag bhaag, D K Bose, D K bhaag...


I Am A Hunter (Gangs of Wasseypur - 2012)


A Hinglish song of its kind, the perverted and seductive lyrics of this song are apt for a gangster movie like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’.
Double-entendre lyrics:

I am a hunter and she want to see my gun
When I pull it out boy the woman start to run


Tooh Tooh (Gori Tere Pyaar Mein - 2013)


An item number featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, this song is intended to depict fun and humour at Indian weddings.
Double-entendre lyrics:

O mehfil taan sajdi te hilte dulte tooh
Gore gore naughty naughty round round tooh
Punjabiyaan de tooh
Sharabiyaan se tooh
Gore gore nikke nikke tere mere tooh
