Amid the polarizing reactions surrounding Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, one aspect that stands out is Bobby Deol’s “Jamal Kudu” entry song. The track became popular soon after the film’s release. Beyond the infectious tune, the accompanying dance steps have overtaken the internet. In a surprising revelation, Bobby Deol disclosed he choreographed these viral dance moves.
Check out the song here:
In a recent interview with Bollywood Spy, Bobby Deol shared insights into making the viral dance sequence. He shared, “He (Sandeep Reddy Vanga) found the song from somewhere and told me ‘I will play this in your introduction.’ When we started shooting, the choreographer said, ‘You do it.’ I was like, ‘what will I do?’ I started dancing and he told me, “No, No. Don’t do it like Bobby Deol.’ Then Saurabh, who plays my brother, I told him, ‘Can you do and show? How would you do it?'”
The actor further explained the genesis of his dance moves, sharing, “I suddenly remembered the time when I was small and used to go to Punjab and get drunk with others while keeping glasses on their heads. I never understood why we did it. It suddenly came in my mind, and I did that. Sandeep liked it.”
Animal’s Bobby Deol entry song ‘Jamal Kudu’ origin
The viral “Jamal Kudu” song is a reimagined version of the Iranian classic “Jamal Jamaloo.” The original lyrics have roots in the southern region of Iran. Moreover, it originated from the 1950s Shirazi Choir of the Kharazemi Girls High School. The lyrical narrative of “Jamal Jamaloo” loosely translates to a heartfelt plea. Additionally, the song’s signature hook line, “Jamal Jamalek Jamaloo Jamal Kudu,” exudes a poetic declaration of love.
Animal continues to achieve success at the box office. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Tripti Dimri, and Anil Kapoor, the film has shattered records set by recent Bollywood movies.
