20 sexiest world music tracks" #11

Aika Yagnik – “Choli Ke Peeche”

"This is one of the sexiest, and certainly cheekiest on-screen songs – and it comes over strongly in the music. It’s sung by the heroine, a cop gone undercover as a Rajasthani Gypsy dancing girl in order to catch a criminal who’s escaped from her fiance’s care. With this honourable aim, she sings “What’s beneath the blouse, what’s behing the shawl?” and so on, with all the special Bollywood bosom and hip moves, in a very padded and sexed up “ethnic” Rajasthani outfit. It’s that wonderful mix of nominally innocent yet utterly brazen that Bollywood does so well!" (Anna Morcom, Songlines contributor)

From the Film “Khalnayak”, directed by Subhash Ghai [Songlines #23, March / April 2004]
