Ali Azmat’s ‘Bum Phatta’ to Feature in Hollywood Film ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’

Posted: 28 Jun 2012 08:59 PM PDT

Ali Azmat has long been hailed as our personal Pakistani rock star with an attitude to match. Previously associated with the internationally acclaimed band JUNOON, Ali Azmat has in recent years managed to carve his own path in the ever growing music industry both locally and abroad.

Self-deprecating and humble, Ali generally comes across in interviews as no-nonsense straight shooter who always raises voice about how this country is run. Evident from his new single, "Bum Phatta", a satirical take on the deplorable conditions been faced by the people of Pakistan amid a worrisome lack of everyday essentials such as water, electricity and food. Already being hailed as the political statement of the year, "Bum Phata" has made headlines not only for the palette tickling video directed by Jami, but also for the international notice it is receiving.

The single has now been handpicked to feature in Mira Nair's highly anticipated movie The Reluctant Fundamentalist based on the bestselling book by Mohsin Hamid of the same name. Mira Nair is, of course, an internationally acclaimed Indian filmmaker (Salaam Bombay!, Kama Sutra, Monsoon Wedding, Namesake) who has been charged with the task of translating this bestseller to screen. Since first being published in 2007, The Reluctant Fundamentalist has become perhaps one of the most defining books of the last decade. It follows a young ambitious Pakistani man Changez working at Wall Street, who aspires to live the quintessential American life, but becomes deeply troubled after the 9/11 attacks. This turn of events leads him down a different and radical path.

With a stellar cast which includes up and coming British actor Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer Sutherland and our very own Meesha Shafi, there is really not much that could go wrong. The ensemble, however, would not be its only selling point. It is gratifying to see that Pakistani talent, be it literary, musical or cinematic, still has a place in the world.

Lyrics:

Yeh jism hai toh kya
Ye rooh ka libaas hai
Yeh dard hai toh kya
Ye ishq ki talash hai
Fanaa kiya mujhe
Ye chahne ki aas ne
Taraa taraa shikast hi hua

Raza hai kya teri?
Dil-o-Jahaan tabaah kiya
Sazaa bhi kya teri?
Wafaa ko bewafaa kiya
Wah re zindagi se yun mujhe juda kiya
Kahaan Kahaan phirun main dhoondta?
Wahaan jahaan tuhi mera libaas hai
Wahaan jahaan teri hi bas talash hai
Wahaan jahaan tujhi pe khatam aas hai
Wahin shuru wahin pe dafan jaan hai

Yeh jism hai toh kya
Ye rooh ka libaas hai
Yeh dard hai toh kya
Ye ishq ki talash hai
Fanaa kiya mujhe
Ye chahne ki aas ne
Tara tara shikast hi huaa
