And Karan Johar’s next song arrives. OK, not Karan Johar’s song, but his production’s next movie’s first song is out and here goes their first song, Dil khol ke let’s rock which is actually a version of Elvis Presley’s 1957 song JailHouse rock. Thus, Karan Johar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy go a step ahead from Pretty Woman which was a 1990′s movie. I need not think twice to guess that Karan would have got the rights for this one too.
It’s another matter that I didn’t like the song so much as the original one, even though I’m not a big fan of Elvis. Probably I didn’t like the voice of Anushka in the song (I hope it’s her) and for sure I don’t think Kajol and Kareena go with that rock voice right after Lata and Alka and Shreya Ghoshal. Still, if the song exists in a Karan Johar movie, it has to be a hit, and however liked or disliked by me, a song can never be not worth a hear if it comes from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, and that too one that was made by Elvis and that when it was listed on the 500 best songs ever.
Oh, btw, Suraj Jagan sounds good in the song.
Here is the video.
and if you want, here is the original JailHouse Rock from 1957. Colorized later, of course.

It came out as a song I would not prefer to hear without video.
this is one of the VERY few times that I am really not enjoyin S-E-L. I don’t know why but their standard just dips when it comes to a K.Jo movie (stritly IMO). They’ve done MUCH better in other films, and they don’t need to spend big bucks to buy an old famous song to prove their talent.
This song doesn’t work for me… and the video is slightly painful to watch.
one of the worst song of 2010
I completely agree…this song is absolutely without any quality…plus I think it was never a right idea to try and ape Elvis..
this is the worst song ever like the video is ok :I its not great …
