When he is in the mood and has loads of time, Raja Hasan is a delight to speak to. He is witty, funny, serious and takes huge amount of trouble to explain things - almost like a school teacher. Plus, from time to time, he breaks into an impromptu song. And when the topic is […]
Palika digs up an old interview of Raja Hasan for us which appeared in a Dubai publication during the time Raja was hosting the Saregamapa Middle East-Pakistan Challenge. The brief interview is about a couple of months old – but for Raja fans, no news about him ever gets stale.
Have you visited Dubai earlier?Yes I have […]
News has been around that Raja Hasan has recorded a duet with Sunidhi Chauhan for a Yash Raj production. I am not sure if the project in question is Sid Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseenon by Vishal-Shekhar, but most likely that is the movie.
But, I wouldn’t categorise Raja’s singing for the said song exactly as a […]
Here’s the full video of Raja Hasan’s Maari Teetri as it appears in the movie De Taali

When Raja isn’t participating in an episode, it is a lot more fun. You can sit back and watch the whole show in its tacky glory. It’s a lot of fun to see the judges do their best to sound sensible. And suddenly Ravi babu too seems to sound a lot more tolerable.
Amrapaali came and […]
Rahul’s analysis of 21st June’s Ek Se Badhkar Ek performances and a bit unusual roller coaster ride from Raja.
Today, the episode started with the host, still Ravi Kissen, showing us his dance moves. I was actually very surprised but happy at the same time to know that he does more than just yell. if i […]
Thank you Ros, for pointing us to this one.
First things first: Raja Hasan came up after a shave. Probably he read the poll results on the site.
But the dramas continued. Ahmed Genghis Khan, announced his decision to sell Chinese bananas once his career as a choreographer and director ends. Hopefully, that won’t happen soon. Harpreet needlessly went on a sob story. Maybe if […]
Raja Hasan and Ravi Kissen landed up the same darzi ki dukaan – and had similar flaming orange costumes on Ek Se Badhkar Ek tonight.
This is the first time we have heard Raja singing the Jiya Dhadak Dhadak song from Kalyug.
Did I spot a false start from Raja? Let’s wait for Rahul’s opinion on […]
Well reviewers all around haven’t been calling De Taali a work of brilliance. But many have not dumped it away outright either. The movie took two years in the making - probably working from an incomplete Abbas Tyrewala script - and that does show in the final outcome.
But De Taali isn’t a movie which […]
It seems Jiya Dhadak Dhadak is Mrs.Raja Hasan’s favourite song. And Ayesha cannot have enough of it.
So, when Raja sings Jiya Dhadak Dhadak from Kalyug this weekend, it probably would be dedicated to her. And after the performance Raja does mention a bit of an incident when Ayesha made him sing the song again, […]
It is one confusing Friday.
As reviews of De Taali keep coming in by the minute – a few things are very unclear.
Taran Adarsh, in his review says: Two songs from the film have been heavily promoted — the title track [which has lots of energy] and ‘Maari Teetri’ [plays to the masses completely] — […]
About one hour into De Taali, and the Raja Hasan song Maari Teetri runs full blast in the film. The song isn’t part of either the opening or end credits, but is treated almost like an item song. Though the full version is wonderfully choreographed on Aftaab Shivdasani, Ritesh Deshmukh and a girl of probably […]
The Saregamapa Challenge USA 2008 series kicks of tomorrow with the curtain raiser. Zee had recently concluded its auditions in 4 different cities over mainland USA – NY, Dallas, San Francisco and Chicago – with thousands registering for the process.
The mentors/judges will be the same couple who were in the Middle East version as […]
Grapevine says that Raja Hasan will be performing the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan hit from Kalyug - Jiya Dhadak Dhadak jaaye (tujhe dekh dekh sona ) this weekend on Ek Se Badhkar Ek. Composed by Faisal Rafi and Rohail Hyat, the song is perhaps Rahat saab’s most popular song in India. It isn’t the first […]
Raffu begins a new column, where she every week, profiles a Raja Hasan fan. This week she pays tribute to a long-time RajaHasan.com member- Shashi ji.
They say for Success, talent, skills along with right attitude and behaviorism is necessary. At the same time success is incomplete without appreciation. A person needs to be appreciated […]
The good news - De Taali’s schedule was released by various theatres and multiplexes today show-and it will the “featured movie of the week”. What that means is single-screen theatre owners and multiplex managers in India have given it more priority over the other three releases. De Taali would now have the maximum number of […]
My father-in-law never fails to point it out to me - that a bearded look, one, looks untidy. And two it tells that you are the lazy kind. I once tried to counter him, by saying that it gives me the “creative” kind of appearance. He thundered back, paraphasing a famous quote - if that […]
Now, I think we need to bug Raffu to give us our prizes. Raffu, are you there????...
