Now it's Khan versus Khan in cricket too! As Shah Rukh Khan launched his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, it was learnt that Indian Cricket League team Lahore Badshahs will be taken over by his Bollywood rival Aamir.
BAAZIGAR MAIN BAAZIGAR---
(To be sung to the tune of Baazigar Main Baazigar--- in Kumar Sanu’s nasal style!)
Baazigar main Baazigar, Cricketeer ka hoon main marketeer
O--- Top batsmen-ko kharida, Kuch bowlers-ko bhi kheencha
Ban gaya Kolkatta-ka King Knightrider!
Baazigar main Baazigar-----
Chak-de Chak-de karte, Cricket-ka chakkar chalaaya
Achhe achhe sportsmen-ko, bhains aur bakri banaaya
O----Maine Saurav-ko ghasita, Ricky Pointing-ko lapeta
Aur mutti-mein mere aaya Shoaib Akhtar!
Baazigar main Baazigar, Cricketeer ka hoon main marketeer
O---Maine paisa aisa phenka
Thaili bharke Team sameta
Jaise bhaji lete hain bazaar-par
Baazigar main baazigar------
Filmon-ka hoon Baadshah main, par IPL jaisa kahaan
Pepsi bhi becha hai maine, phir bhi itna paisa kahaan
O---Khel aisa maine khela, Khiladiyon-ki mandi khola
Karodomein kheloon ab main saal-bar!
Baazigar main baazigar------
Acting-mein humko bhi aksar, Aamir-ne neecha kiya hai
Auction-mein dekh-kar lekin, mera-hi peecha kiya hai,
O---Kya Ambani aur Kya Mallya
Humse badhkar koi hai kya
Mera naam hi hai har akhbaar-par!
Baazigar main Baazigar, Cricketeer ka hoon main marketeer!

P.S: Just in case, this somehow happens to get the attention of Shahrukh!-----
‘No personal offence meant! This is just for some fun for dear Sulekha-ites’!
Shahrukh as ‘Baazigar’
My dear Viswanathan,
I like it,quite an innovative one. This guy Sharukh is firing all guns at the same time to increase his networth,all those blah blah about channelising money from cricket to other sports is a load of bullshit.

Sandeep-ji,
You have precisely got the hint of the 'Chak de' irony that I was trying to convey! Shah Rukh says he wants to make money out of cricket and channelise to less popular sports like hockey. Well, we have to believe him!
Glad to note you liked the parody. Thank you so much for your comment!
Nathan.

Once again Sir, you've done a great work of parodying. The first paragraph of Chak De..... is quite ironical isnit it, considering the fact that Chak De, India was a film on Hockey. Now we find its anthem song being played during all cricket matches, while Hockey has gone completely off our collective radars!

Dear Sampath-ji,
That was my favourite para as well! I realize the toughest part in making a parody is to fit the right words into the tune, so that it can sound almost like the original while singing. From that angle, this para was fulfilling to me after a brief 'struggle' for words!
It is a great feeling to imagine you chuckling as you went through my parody! Thank you so much for the compliments!
Nathan.

Dr.Saab,
Your appreciation is magnanimous and overwhelming, as always! Aap-ki ek hansi mere liye Shahrukh-kae sau bouqets of flowers-ke samaan hai! Thank you so much!
BTW strangely though I tried twice to insert Shahrukh's photo at the top, overnight it was getting replaced by Madhubala's image from my earlier blog stored in my album. I don't know why this happens. I had to edit and cut off her image again. Maybe I have to remove her from the album itself---and the mind too!
Thanks again for the wonderful words of encouragement!
Regards,
Nathan.

Dear S.V. Nathan,
Aap to Kamaal Ke Upar Kamaal kar rahe ho Aaajkal. Ye huwi na baat!
Enjoyed singing your parody using the song "Baazigar Main Baazigar". You have correctly depicted current situation of Shah Rukh with business that he is currently involved with cricket. I was laughing for a long time. It was extremely amusing. I especially liked the last Antara where you have put Shah Rukh against Aamir. This shows your Great Creativity! Keep it up and do post such parodies. I am sure every Sulekhite will love to read it. I think you are the best parody creator in Sulekha. If Shah Rukh reads your parody then he might send you a bouquet of flowers using United Parcel Service just to appreciate you. Congrats!
Regards,
Dr. Kamath

Kala-ji,
I take your suggestion for translation. But in this particular parody, I think, it was quite commonly spoken Hindi that I had used and I believe you would have generally inferred the context. Apart from that I don't think I have written anything profound to merit translation! It was just meant to be some sort of silly fun and I was glad to note that you enjoyed it , in spite of your 'thoda thoda' Hindi! If you are familiar with the original song, you would have found it more fun! Thank you so much for your quick response and appreciative comment!
Nathan.
