Production[edit]

'Chammak Challo' was composed by music duo Vishal-Shekhar and co-composed by Akon who arrived in Mumbai in March 2010 for two days to record it.^{[9][not in citation given]}Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha held a press conference to declare the association of the Grammy-nominated singer with the film.^[10] was recorded at the Yash Raj Studios.^[9] The lyrics were penned by Vishal Dadlani and Niranjan Iyengar.^[11] The lyrics are primarily in Hindi and Tamil, with a few English lines included.

Along with the English parts, Akon sang parts of the song in Hindi by himself.^[12]Hamsika Iyer sang the Hindi and Tamil parts.^[11] According to the music directors, the Senegalese AmericanR&B singer had no problems voicing the Hindi lyrics: 'It was really easy for Akon. When he came to the studio and we told him that he would have to sing in Hindi too, he got really excited. Once he heard the lines, he started singing fluently. It took him only three-four hours to learn..he picked up everything so well,' said Shekhar.^[12][13] The song is produced by Giorgio Tuinfort, who produced Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape, featuring Akon.^[14]

The remix version by DJ Khushi was a club mix with more electronic sounds, dholki and vocal effects. Khushi was referred to Khan by the Moranis for remixing the song; Khushi made a demo and sent it to Khan who was impressed by it and told him to complete the track.^[15] In an interview, Khushi said: 'Remixing 'Chammak Challo' was not just an amazing and an exciting experience but it also came with a lot of responsibility to make a track that compliments the song as it was already a very big hit even before the release.'^[15]Download lagu rossa ku menunggu gratis.

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

Bollywood Hungama described it as 'A grand song by all means, with huge production values that would be assuring enough for Akon to believe that this one can compete at an international level, 'Chammak Challo' is a fantastic amalgamation of Indian, Middle East and Western sounds that gives it a distinguished appeal.'^[11] Ruchika Kher from The Times of India identified the song as 'A clear winner all the way, the song, which has Hindi, English and Tamil words in the lyrics, makes you groove [..] A fun dance number, 'Chammak Challo' is here to stay and it will surely become the DJs' favourite'.^[16]Indo-Asian News Service said 'International pop star Akon sings in English and surprisingly well in Hindi, making 'Chammak Challo' ride high on its novelty factor. Hamsika Iyer, who has sung for films like Raajneeti and Khoya Khoya Chand in the past, supports him beautifully, accompanying the English-Hindi vocals with a little Tamil strewn in. Primarily a dance track, 'Chammak Challo' is here to stay.' He also praised the remixes adding 'The song also has a couple of remixes, but don't dismiss them as ordinary fare. A Punjabi Mix adds some bhangra to the beats while DJ Khushi's version, simply titled 'Chammak Challo Remix', is explosive. A third, international version is what his fans will hear globally-this one is pure Akon, without Hamsika to accompany him.'^[17] Sukanya Verma from Rediff.com praised the song calling it 'A scorching mishmash of Arabic influences and Bollywood-style bhangra amid Hamsika Iyer's swiftly-pronounced Tamil lyrics, the showstopper song's perfectly-timed arrangement and vivacious rhythm makes it a win-win.'^[18]

Vivek Warrier was impressed by Akon's Hindi and said 'Full marks to Akon for his wonderful Hindi – yes, he sings 'Chammak Challo' in Hindi. He is, in fact, better than Remo. The song has good use of Vocoder and other classic 'Akon-ic' effects which also includes the 'Oh oo oo' which is what Akon is known for'. He also noted that 'the three remixes of the song, also included in the album, add value to the album from a commercial point of view'.^[19] Devesh Sharma from Filmfare said 'Chammak Challo' rules – and how! The song, sung by international R&B icon Akon, is superbly produced by Giorgio Tuinfort. Tuinfort turns Vishal-Shekhar's tunes into a haunting medley that invades your brains and refuses to go away. kareena sings in such a way that you believe that it's actually Shah Rukh Khan who's crooning the song. Getting the Hindi diction right is by itself an achievement. Hamsika Iyer accompanies Akon in the film version and her full throated voice adds to the charm.' He also appreciated the remixes calling them 'well crafted'.^[14]

Music video[edit]

The music video of the song is picturised on the lead pair of the film, Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor, dancing together in a specially constructed set at Yash Raj Studios. The music video received mixed to positive reviews, with some critics praising its fresh and hybrid style of choreography by Ganesh Hegde, while others criticising the costumes, especially those of the background dancers.^[11][16] While shooting for the song in Mumbai, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited Yash Raj Studios to watch Khan and Kapoor at work.^[22]

Red Chillies, Khan's production house created a video for the remixed version by Delhi-based DJ Khushi and put it up on the official YouTube channel of the film. The video contained shots from the original song, with the remix as the background score. Khushi said 'I met SRK recently at an awards ceremony in Gurgaon, where he said, 'I had to make a video for this. It was the best remix on the CD and it was getting great feedback.' So, he made the video.'^[23] Within the first couple of days, the video received more than 400,000 views from social networking sites.^[15]

Costume[edit]

The costume of Kareena Kapoor in the song received widespread media coverage. Kapoor wore a red sari draped in the style of a dhoti.^[24] The sari along with Kapoor's look was designed by Manish Malhotra.^[25] Subsequently, the sari became colloquially known as 'the Kareena wala red.'^[25]

Fashion experts commented on the topic, unanimously praising Kapoor's look. Film stylist Samidha Wanganoo applauded Kapoor's ability to carry off a 'fiery and bold' colour like red, and claimed that 'It [red] makes the haute black look so redundant now.' Mauritius-based fashion consultant Kiran Gidwani-Tolaram said, 'The red that Kareena is wearing in the song is a very vibrant and hot shade. It is natural when someone as stunning as her wears a bold colour like that, it is bound to be in vogue and dictate trends.' Gidwani-Tolaram reported about a 'flood' of demands for exactly the same style of sari, and commented that the particular style was the favourite of the Mauritian Prime Minister's wife. However, Sangita Kathiwada, creative director of a prominent Mumbai fashion store, dismissed the theory that Kapoor had popularised red saris and said, 'What is Kareena Kapoor wala red? I mean Kareena is gorgeous and looks lovely in the 'Chammak Challo' song and many more saris will sell because she just looks stunning wearing it. But I still wouldn't go as far as calling it the Kareena Kapoor wala red.'^[25]
