Khaali Peeli's Tehas Nehas has an uncanny resemblance to Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi; Here's how

The latest song from the upcoming movie Khaali Peeli released and has been trending on YouTube. The song titled Tehas Nehas portrays actors Ishaan Khattar and Ananya Panday shaking a leg to the music composed by Vishal and Shekhar. Even though the song revolves around a contemporary couple, it has an uncanny resemblance to Kishore Kumar’s Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si from the film Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Here is why.

The setting

Cars, garage and nighttime setting. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? The setting of Tehas Nehas is very similar to Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si.

• Cars parked in a garage, some having their parts dismantled, some standing there to be sold off as scrap and some ready to go back to their owners the next day.
• The night time in Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si indicated that the garage was empty and all the workers had left, making Kishore Kumar the only person who could help Madhubala.
• In Tehas Nehas, Ishan Khattar brings his car inside the garage but nobody is there at the garage. Giving him the opportunity to groove with Ananya Panday’s character.

The characters

• Even though Ishaan Khattar is playing the character of a Taxi driver of Kaali Peeli, the class difference between him and Anaya’s character is evident in the song.

The theme of the song

• Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si is a song which characterises two strangers who have met in a strange way. Kishore Kumar character has an admiration for Madhubala whose whereabouts are unknown and in an innocent way he asks “Mili ek ajnabee se, koi aage na peeche, tum hi kaho ye koi baat hai”.
• However, Ishaan Khatter starrer is more about how he is lovestruck by this girl who has butchered his heart. It also describes her as a con girl with lyrics Style jhoota hai tewar hain nakli Translates to: Your style is fake, your attitude is false.
