Q: For which song have YashRaj spent Rupees 5 Crore making it the most expensive song in Bollywood?

Q: Which song of Dhoom 3 is ONLY available in theaters?

Q: Which Bollywood song has a 48 year old actor doing aerial stunts in the dance sequence?

A: Malang.

Yes. Dum Malang Malang, or simply 'Malang' ^[meaning], is one of the best songs of Dhoom 3, for which Yash Raj Films have reportedly spent 5 crore rupees. Most of it on the shooting of the song of course. Also, YashRaj plans to release this song in full version ONLY in theaters, to increase the number of moviegoers. From the first look, the song is not only superb in Audio, the video of the song is really well, and that's the reason YRF thinks they'll be able to attract people to cinema halls in the name of this song, if nothing else. The stunts performed by Aamir and Katrina in the song are quite something. If not by the standards of dance reality shows, at least by the standards of Bollywood movies they're still big.



The song is sung by Siddharth Mahadevan along with Shilpa Rao, this being Siddharth's first song outside Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and his second film as a singer. The lyrics are written by Sameer.

Ishq labon pe, ishq duaa mein..
Jism mein, rooh mein, ishq rava rava ravaa ravaan..
Ishq nazar mein, ishq bashar mein..
Aks mein raks mein, ishq ke nishan nishan nishaan nishaan..

There is love on the lips, love in the prayer,
in body, soul, love flows..
Love is in sight, love in (every) human,
In the image and in mad dance, there are signs of love..

Dum malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum ishq ishq hai malang mera..

Completely mad, unknown to the world around it,
Mad to the breaths,
(such) deeply mad my love is..

Ishq hai aawara, ishq hai banjaara..
Ishq hai angaara..
Rahta hai, behta hai ye ishq zarron mein..
Ishq mein mit jaaoon, ishq mein beh jaaoon..
Ishq mein ho jaaoon fana fana fanaa fanaa..

Love is vagrant, love is nomad,
love is a fireball..
It lives, and flows in particles,
I wish to end myself in love, flow in this love,
I wish to destroy myself in love..

Dum malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum ishq ishq hai malang mera..

Meri mannaton mein, meri jannaton mein..
Tera hi tera shumaar hai..
Meri chaahaton pe, meri raahaton pe..
Tera hi tera khumaar hai..
Malang malang main, tere liye hi hoon malang main..

In my wishes, in my heavens,
There is just your inclusion there..
On my love, my relief,
There is only your intoxication there..

Meri ulfaton mein, meri shiddaton mein..
Sajdon ^[meaning] mein tera hi noor hai..
Teri bekhudi mein, teri dilkashi mein
Teri bandagi mein dil choor hai..
Malang malang main, tere liye hi hoon malang main..

In my love, in my rigor,
In my prayers, there is your divine light alone..
In your intoxication, in your love of my heart,
in your servitude my heart is immersed..

Main yahaan wahaan jaaoon jahaan darbadar badar ^[meaning]..
Tere liye rahti hoon besabar sabar
Teri bekaraariyon mein ishq ishq hai malang mera..

I go here and there, wherever, like a homeless,
I am impatient for you alone..
In your restlessness, my love is mad..

Dum malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum dum malang malang
Malang malang dum ishq ishq hai malang mera..
