Besharam movie song – Dil Ka Jo Haal Hai
Well, I wanted to take a little exception from what I usually write on this blog with few lines for the one of my favourite songs of the upcoming movie Besharam, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda.

The day I first watched the trailer of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the first thing I wanted to imagine is to replace Farhan Akhtar in the lead but did not find the right choice. As I watched the movie in the theatre and witnessed his fabulous performance, I became sure that no one else, but Farhan […]
