Bollywood actors are not a content lot, are they? Their talents include but refuses to be restricted to acting. They sing too as they bask in variegated glory. And sometimes not.
As far as voice power goes, none can beat Amitabh Bachhan as he growls, soothes, mocks and commands. No stranger to playback singing, his songs are a rage by virtue of that distinctive voice. Mere Angne Mein from Laawaris, the colourful Rang Barse from Silsila never fail to delight.
Abhishek Bacchan crooned the totally chilled out Right Here Right Now in Bluffmaster and Dilbara in Dhoom. Aamir Khan’s attempts were popular too from the attitude-y Aati Kya Kandala? in Ghulaam to the gleeful Bum Bum Bole in Taare Zameen Par.
Shah Rukh Khan tried to figure out how to woo his woman with Apun Bola in Josh with Aishwarya Rai and Paan Banaraswaala in Don – The Chase Begins Again and then there was Chak De India.
Joining the bandwagon is Akshay Kumar, after the title track of Singh Is Kinng with Snoop Dog, he is rapping with Bohemia in Chandni Chowk to China.
The ladies weren’t far behind. Sridevi giggled and sang the girlish Chandni and Kareena Kapoor has done her share with Jab Nahin Aaye Tum in Dev and Mein Prem Ki Deewani Hoon.
More power to them!
