They may be a couple in real life, but on screen Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are about to clash over item numbers in the film ‘Agent Vinod’. Who does it better? Many are asking if Kareena’s mujra song, ‘Dil mera muft ka’, will be overshadowed by Saif`s ‘Pyaar ki pungi’. The latter is described as a number that catches your attention in the first 20 seconds because of its comic, cheeky notes and free footsteps. When asked about the song, Saif said: “There is a sequence in the film where Agent Vinod is being watched by CCTV cameras and he is behaving in a certain way, so we thought we should do an extension to that and we did the song.” Composed by Pritam Chakraborty, ‘Pyaar ki pungi’ has been written by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya and choreographed by Jasmin Oza. Mika has sung it. Since ‘Agent Vinod’, a sleek spy thriller, is full of actions and thrills, director Sriram Raghavan didn`t give much attention to the songs as it can shift people’s interest and the essence of the movie. Usually item numbers are associated with actresses and their ‘jhatkas’ and ‘matkas’. In fact there is a mujra number picturised on Kareena Kapoor and it was the first one to hit the screens. But ‘Pungi’ has become more popular.
