Saki Saki is the first song of film Batla House starring John Abraham as the male lead and Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. The song is the remake of the earlier version of Saki Saki which was from film Musafir, starring Sanjay Dutt. The earlier version of this song was composed by Vishal-Shekhar and written by Dev Kohli. Sunidhi Chauhan was the female voice and Sukhwinder Singh was the male voice for the earlier version. In the new version of this song, we can see Nora Fatehi in the video instead of Koena Mitra. This version is created by Tanishk Bagchi and is sung by Neha Kakkar and Tulsi Kumar for female voice and B Parak for the male voice.
The lyrics of the song
Main teri aankhon ka saahil,
Main tere dil ke hi kaabil,
Tu musafir main teri manzil,
Ishq ka dariya hai behta,
Doob ja tujhse hai kehta,
Haan meri baahon mein aake mil,
Woh sharabi kya sharabi,
Dil mein jiske gham na ho,
Lut gaya samjho sharabi,
Paas jiske hum naa ho,
O saki saki re saki saki,
Aa paas aa reh na jaaye,
Koi khwaahish baaki,
O saki saki re saki saki,
Aa paas aa reh na jaaye,
Koi khwaahish baaki,
Tere jaisi mashooqa mujhe yar chahiye,
Na paisa chahiye na hi qaraar chahiye,
Yeh husn ka hai khumaar mera,
Tujhpe hai chhaaya jo,
Kurbaan huaa mujhpe jo,
Khushnaseeb bada hai woh,
Woh sharabi kya sharabi,
Dil mein jiske gham na ho,
Lut gaya samjho sharabi,
Paas jiske hum naa ho,
Saaki saaki saaki...
O saqi saqi re saki saki,
Aa paas aa reh na jaaye,
Koi khwahish baaki,
O saaqi saaqi re saki saki,
Aa paas aa reh na jaaye,
Koi hashish baaki.
In the video of this song, we can see the mesmerizing dance of Nora Fatehi. She again proved that why audience like and call her Dilbar Girl. We can also see a bit of action in the music video which is actually not a part of this video. At the end of the video, we can see John Abraham who is playing the role of Sanjeev Kumar Yadav doing some action which is actually not a part of the real video. The film is inspired by the real operation of Operation Batla House that took place in 2008. We will be seeing John Abraham again in the role of a police officer.
Saki Saki is the first song of this movie and it left a great impression upon the audience. The audience started expecting more from this film. At last but not the least at all, we can say that not every remake of the song is the copy of some lyrics or music but it also has its own flavor, version, and uniqueness, just like the song Saki Saki.
