While Jamdar writes his own material, and conceptualises and acts in the videos, he is backed by a team of choreographers, directors and producers who take care of the logistical and technical requirements. “I had to shave my hands and back, and dance barefoot wearing a 25kg lehenga,” he says. While he says that it was a challenge to shoot a one-take video, Jamdar still ranks his parody of Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’s title track higher in terms of difficulty. In the video, you see Jamdar flaunt Bruno Mars’s signature Uptown Funk moves, and with his lyrics, he takes pot shots at the hypocrisy of the Indian audience about looking down on Hindi and considering everything English cool. Shot without any cuts in a studio set of a chawl, it took the crew four retakes to get the final cut.
His recent spoof of Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk (his maiden English parody) clocked in 1,46,975 views in just a week.
#Parody songs of dilwale tv
Almost a year-old, the channel is now venturing into English songs.Īlso read: What happens when popular TV actors star in a satire of the TV industry? Some of the most popular spoofs on the channel are Jabra Fan (695k views), Hamari Adhuri Kahani (849k views) and Gerua (1million views). So, when the producers of SDE approached him with the idea of starting a channel of parodies, he jumped at it. Secretly, he also wanted to put his distorted hook lines of Bollywood songs to better use. But once stagnancy hit, he wanted to exploit his acting abilities some more. Jamdar’s YouTube journey began in 2014 with the web series, Shudh Desi Endings (SDE). Along with acting skills, he also picked up mannerisms of popular actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Thank god for that,” he laughs.Īfter his short stint at TCS, Jamdar enrolled for an acting course at Whistling Woods. But I became a backbencher during college, and my creative juices started to flow. Salil Jamdar strikes a pose (Photo: Vidya Subramanian/HT Location courtesy: Mamagoto, Andheri (W)) This is his fourth interview, he says, and he keeps his answers short. When we meet him at Mamagoto in Andheri (W), he seems rather conscious. Today, the Thane boy is the face of Shudh Desi Gaane, a YouTube channel that spoofs Bollywood songs.
After graduation, he was placed at TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) but survived only a few months there. It didn’t take him long to figure out engineering wasn’t something he was passionate about. But when his IIT dream didn’t work out, he settled for an engineering course at KJ Somaiya College, Vidyavihar. If things fell into place according to his academic plans, Salil Jamdar would have been an IIT graduate. Salil Jamdar’s spoof videos have made him a social media star, but he calls his journey “a backbencher’s success story”. Shuddh Desi Gaane had earlier made a parody of 'Gerua' from Dilwale, which starred SRK himself!Īnd this time, they question SRK what made him do the kind of movies he has in the last three years.His parody channel on YouTube has over a million views. I cannot wait for Raees now.Īnd here is a new parody from Shuddh Desi Gaane that shares my sentiments exactly.
SRK is at his best once again, after all these years. don't get me started on those.īut the teasers of Fan and Raees surely changed my mind. And Fan did not disappoint me at all. In the next two years, came Happy New Year and Dilwale.
#Parody songs of dilwale movie
There was nothing in the movie that I liked, except probably the songs. It began with Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express. But, I was a little disappointed with the kind of movies that Raj (for me, he always is Raj), chose to do in the recent past.
I have been a proud SRK fan since I can remember. Right from the start of his career, the actor has shown his acting prowess with films like Raju ban Gaya Gentleman, Darr, Baazigar, Anjaam, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Se, Devdas, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer Zaara, Swades, Chak De! India, My Name Is Khan. There is no doubt that Shah Rukh Khan is one of the finest actors Bollywood has seen in the last 25 years.
