'Dum-a-Dum Mast Qalandar' gets a Western twist in 'Dhanak'

Bollywood���s fascination with the popular Sufi number Dum-a-Dum Mast Qalandar has given us yet another rendition of the song in Nagesh Kukunoor���s forthcoming film 'Dhanak'. The funky version has been composed by Tapas Relia and sung by Devu Khan.
It has been picturised on the film���s lead character, eight-year old Chotu, who travels across the Rajasthan desert with his elder sister Pari to meet Shah Rukh Khan.He hopes that the superstar will help him get his eyesight back.

���It���s a sequence where the kids meet a hippie who tries to teach Chotu a song, Give Love A Chance, which is our version of John Lennon���s Give Peace A Chance. But when Chotu can���t get the words right, he breaks into Dum-a-Dum Mast Qalandar. They eventually get into a jugalbandi. Neither of them understands each other���s language, but the message of both the tracks is universal,��� says Kukunoor.
'Dhanak', produced by Drishyam Films, releases on June 10.
