[Darios Uclaray]

Hawa Hawa" was recorded in 1986, and released in 1987.[2] The tune of the song is based on the 1970s Persian song "Havar Havar" by Kourosh Yaghmaei.[3] The song start with the line "Hawa Hawa Ai Hawa Khushbu Loota De" ("Air, oh Air, Swell the fragrance").[1]

According to Jahangir the beats of the song "are extremely catchy and would appeal to people from diverse cultures and musical traditions. Even when you can't understand the language, you can appreciate the beats and the rhythm".[2]

The song became immensely popular throughout South Asia, particularly in three countries Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Jahangir's album by the same name also became in India, and the song frequently played on radio in the country.[3][1] The song was frequently remade in Bollywood films; sometimes with same lyrics and music and sometime with same music, but with different lyrics.[4] Jahangir's version was used in the 1994 movie Insaaf Apne Lahoo Se.[5]

Shortly after the release of "Hawa Hawa", the tune of the song was unofficially used in "Jawan Jawan Ishq Jawan", a song from 1989 Govinda-starrer Billoo Badshah. It was sung by Govinda himself.[3] The song "Aaya Aaya Pyar Aaya" in the 1989 Hindi film Aag Ka Gola was adapted from "Hawa Hawa".[6] It was composed by Bappi Lahiri, and it featured Archana Puran Singh, Sunny Deol, and Prem Chopra dancing on the song.[2]

In 2017, The makers of the Hindi film Mubarakan (2017) released a new version of this song as promotional single of their film, which was written with different lyrics while keeping "Hawa Hawa" hookline same. The version was sung by Mika Singh, featuring Arjun Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz dancing on the song. Devarsi Ghosh, writing for Scroll.in, called the remake "forgettable " and describing the original version as an earworm which 'doesn't need a remake'.[3][7] The remake version of the song also featured in the 2012 Hindi film Chaalis Chauraasi.[8] The Bengali of "Hawa Hawa" also appeared in Bangladeshi song "Khala Khala".[2]

"I was absolutely sure that the song would be a hit in Pakistan. But that it would continue to remain popular in different versions across the world is something I hadn't thought even in my wildest dreams. I even heard the song being played in shops in Mexico. This is God's gift, truly," Jahangir told Catch over phone.

Exactly thirty years after its release, the latest version of Hawa Hawa was released last week. Sung by popular singer Mika, the song - 'Boyfriend Bana De' - is part of the soundtrack of Anees Bazmee's upcoming comedy film Mubarakan, starring Anil Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz and Arjun Kapoor.

"The beats are extremely catchy and would appeal to people from diverse cultures and musical traditions. Even when you can't understand the language, you can appreciate the beats and the rhythm," Jahangir said.

Jahangir says he has no objections to the song being used in Mubarakan in a form that is very similar to the original. However, he does add that the lyrics have been changed considerably, which makes the song seem bad. "Even though I feel they should have asked me, I will not raise objections on such matters as I am a supporter of peace between India and Pakistan," Jahangir told Catch.

The journey of this song began not in Pakistan, but Iran. Pre-revolutionary Iran had a flourishing rock-and-roll music scene, and one of its most prominent artists in the 1970s was Koroush Yaghmaei. Simply called Koroush by fans, he is hailed as the father of psychedelic rock in Iran, and is remembered as a guitarist on par with Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy Page. In 1974, he released his first major album Gol-e-Yaakh, which featured a song called 'Havar Havar' (Shout Shout).

Many believed that Koroush's records were lost during the revolution. Whether that is true isn't known, but Havar Havar seems to have found its way to Pakistan, where Jahangir adapted the tune in Hawa Hawa Khushboo Luta De.

"They made fun of it...[they] said 'hawa hawa, yeh kya bana diya'. I was very dejected after that. One day, soon after the release, my car stopped at a traffic signal and I could hear Hawa Hawa playing inside a vehicle. Soon I began hearing the song in shops, parties, everywhere. It had become a rage, beyond my expectations," Jahangir remembers fondly.

He recalls an interesting anecdote about how he had to change the lyrics of the song because of General Zia-ul-Haq. "As you would know, Pakistan was being ruled by General Zia-ul-Haq at that time, and he had a certain point of view. There was a culture of censorship. So when I was supposed to perform Hawa Hawa on Pakistan TV, the authorities told me that the line 'yaar mila dey, dildaar mila dey' is too intimate. So I had to change it to 'waada kiya tha, aik baar mila dey' while performing," Jahangir tells us.

He says that he feels hurt by any restrictions on artistic freedom, be it due to religious conservatism or due to geo-politics. The restrictions on artists because of Indo-Pak tensions upsets him. "Artists represent love, they shouldn't be subjected to restrictions because of politics," he says.

Jahangir's song became hugely popular in India in the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time when disco music was the rage. It was extremely common in discos, restaurants, weddings, and even the dance bars of that period.

The same year as this, the song was used by Bappi Lahiri in the Sunny Deol-Dimple Kapadia starrer Aag Ka Gola. The song itself features Archana Puran Singh, Deol, and a host of dancing villains led by Prem Chopra, as well as a pensive police inspector played by Shakti Kapoor.

In 2011, Jahangir's Hawa Hawa was used in a remixed form in the movie Chaalis Chaurasi. Jahangir sang the song along with Neeraj Shridhar of Bombay Vikings fame, and the ones dancing to it in the movie include Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon and Ravi Kissen.

The theme of the song is a boy's appeal to a girl's mother that her daughter goes about dating everyone except him. In that sense, Mubarakan's 'Boyfriend Bana De' has more in common with the Bangladeshi version, than Jahangir's original or even its Bollywood spin-offs, all of which were in the voice of a longing lover.
