Trivia

The song Pyar Do Pyar Lo became the very first Hindi song to use the "Uluation" sound after the verse Pyar Do Pyar Lo. Uluation is a long wavering, high pitch vocal sound resembling a howl with a trilling quality. It is produced by emitting a high pitch loud voice accompanied by rapid back and forth movement of the tongue and the uvula. It is practiced in Africa ,the middle East and south Asia. Africans do the uluation sound at celebrations like weddings. WWE wrestling superstar Kamala has the "uluation" sound in his WWE theme entrance song, that was released in 1986.

A firoz Khan Flick

Well Guys ! this flick is a Basic feroz khan one. If u watch bollywood movies then u'd know. He was greatly influenced by Cowboy movies and calls his home RANCH (yeah thats true).

The movie is about Drug Paddllers and A cop with a Love story woven into. There's vendetta as well. Not much of a plot really but MAN...this movie is stylish in a cult sort....U like A Shouting John Wayne...u'd like Word Chewing Feroz Khan and well U'd not Seen Anil Kapoor yet....nice performance....i dnt say that its a Award Winner...but its a got its own good things....

....Music...Photography....Style....
