Balaji Productions’ most anticipated film ‘The Dirty Picture’ hits the screens today… While all these days we have been entertained by Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah with their “Ooh La La” jalwa let we uncover an interesting tidbit behind sizzling number...

A fact noticed by few, The Dirty Picture’s “Ooh La La” track seems to have been inspired from “Ui Amma Ui Amma” song, from the 1983 film ‘Mawaali’ that featured siblings - producer Ekta Kapoor and actor Tusshar Kapoor’s father Jeetendra along with Jaya Prada.

In “Ui Amma”, a curvy Jaya Prada dressed in bright yellow shows her tumkas and jhatkas while the Jumping Jack Jeetendra grooves along in his typical style. Yeah, the tunes do sound similar to “Ooh La La”, as Bappi Lahiri had been the composer for ‘Mawaali’, who has sung the new version. The composer duo Vishal-Shekar of ‘The Dirty Picture’ has done a fabulous job of refining the song to suit the contemporary audience.

Indeed the makers of 'The Dirty Picture' have shown tribute to the classic age of 80’s with this number – through the music, lyrics, dressings, dance style, choice of locations and most importantly, the colourful props and backgrounds…

So who is your pick – the latest sensation Vidya Balan or the classic beauty Jaya Prada…?
