PIX: The HOTTEST Item Songs of 2014

Although a rather ho-hum year on the front, 2014 saw several stars endeavouring to impress armed with a red-hot chartbuster and the genre’s patent jhatkas.

On that note, let’s look at 10 of the HOTTEST item songs this year.

 

Pink Lips, Hate Story 2

Bollywood bombshell Sunny Leone is, as they saying goes, too hot to handle flaunting her pouty Pink Lips and, um, more in an otherwise snooze fest of a vendetta saga, Hate Story 2.

 

Devil/Yaar Na Miley, Kick

Salman Khan and Nargis Fakhri get up, close and personal to generate smouldering chemistry to blend against the catchy vibe of Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Yaar Na Miley.

 

Lovely, Happy New Year

Lovely lacks the rhythm of Sheila Ki Jawani but director Farah Khan pulls out all stops to ensure Deepika Padukone’s hip-shaking cabaret pays a scorching tribute to Madhuri Dixit’s Mohini.

 

Asalaam-E-Ishqum, Gunday

Last year Priyanka Chopra dominated the scene with her dance numbers in Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela, Zanjeer and Shootout at Wadala.

Even if 2014 wasn’t as prolific, a bootylicious PC compensated with her burlesque romp for Gunday’s Asalaam E Ishqum.

 

Awari, Ek Villain

Prachi Desai shed her girl-next-door image to grab attention in a sensual avatar against the melancholic beats of Ek Villain’s dance bar melody, Awari.

 

Dance Basanti, Ungli

Shraddha Kapoor showed there’s more to her than starry-eyed, gullible characters with her itsy-bitsy costumes, jazzy thumkas and ‘hanky panky’ nakhras in and as Dance Basanti.

 

Aata Majhi Satakli, Singham Returns

Ajay Devgn’s popular catchphrase in Marathi Aata Majhi Satakli took the shape of a full-fledged item number filmed on the star, his navari-clad leading lady Kareena Kapoor, composer Yo Yo Honey Singh and a whole band of precocious kids frantically chanting Mala raag yeto. And, what’s more, found takers.

 

Johnny Johnny, Entertainment

A carefree Akshay Kumar recreates the energy of the so-silly-but-hooking Aunty Police Bula Legi with Sachin-Jigar’s boozy version of the kiddie nursery rhyme accompanied by a sultry Tammanah.

 

Baby Doll, Ragini MMS 2

Sunny Leone scores yet again with her super sexy turn in Ragini MMS sequel’s addictive dance ditty, Baby Doll. No wonder the sleazy horror struck gold at the box office.

 

Engine Ki Ceeti, Khubsoorat

Trust Sonam Kapoor to have her own unique take on item songs too. The fashionista, clad in contrasting tank and jammies, furiously shakes butt for Khubsoorat’s naughty but peppy offering, Engine ki ceeti.
