Heard Race 3 songs yet? The lyrics may leave you speechless

Salman Khan is a new entry to the Race franchise. Race 3 is directed by Remo D’Souza.

The promotion for Race 3 has started on a unique note. The film is more in the news for the memes and jokes floating after the trailer than for being a Salman Khan vehicle. Salman playing a negative role or Bobby Deol’s return to mainstream ‘masala’ films had to compete with jokes about the film’s dialogues and lyrics.

Race 3 will hit the screens on June 15, 2018.

The songs especially have the internet laughing. Sample these lines from the song Heeriye that was released soon after the trailer:

Heeriye Ni Nasha Tera Karke, Karke , Cut It Cut It Cut It ,

Ke Ranjha Yeh Tabaah Ho Gaya, Ke Ranjha Yeh Tabaah Ho Gayaa.

It was the ‘cut it’ part that had people confused in an otherwise well received song.

The second song of Race 3, Selfish, was written by Salman himself and was truly surreal.

Take a look at these lines:

Aao Ji , Mera Hath Thamo Ji

Mere Sang Sang Chalo Aur Wahan Baitho Na

Aur Thoda Wahan Tasalli Se

Apne Khayalat Ko Share Karo Na

Ek Baar Baby Selfish Hoke Apne Liye Jiyo Na.

This is a definite case of writing gone bizarre. Even Atif Aslam’s velvety voice couldn’t mask the absurdity of the lyrics.

The best was yet to release. Shabbir Ahmed and Shloke Lal’s lyrics in the title song is full of contradiction and oxymorons. For example, check out this line from the title song:

Junoo Bhi Tu, Nasha Bhi Tu

Talab Tu Meri

Mitaana Hai Tujhi Ko To Ye Zidd Hai Meri

Jaayega Tu Kahan Tujhi Pe Nazrein Meri

Main Kar Doon Tabaah Tujhe Ye Zidd Hai Meri.

This is fine but then comes the hook: Nasha Tera, Nasha Nasheela Nasheela Hai.

And you thought songs are about expressing feelings through poetry.

No wonder the next line is: Allah Duhai Hai. Phir Jaan Pe Aai Hai.

Lyricist Hardik Acharya and singer Mika Singh collaborated on the recently released Party Chale on, and it’s a crash course on what not to do in song writing. They have come up with most absurd lines in the name of tapping the youth sentiments.

See this:

Weekend Ki Partiyaan Ho Rahi Hai

Ek Mai Aur Tu, Sath Me Hai

Aur Haath Me Hai Tattoo

Bling Bling Karti Ye Lights

Aur Super Fun Ki Night

Hona Hai Jo Ho Jane Do

Aaj Poora Hai Apna Right

Bas Party Chale On N On N On.

These songs are a better match for Tera Pyaar Hukka Bar, which ruled the absurdity charts for months.

The internet could not help but marvel at the lyrics either, here’s a sample...

Our reaction to the lyrics? To borrow from Race 3: Allah Duhai Hai, Ab Jaan Pe Ban Aayi Hai.
