The song is about distance between lovers created by society / the world / judgment and anger towards the world and then two people trying to find their way. The other people on the video are to represent diversity and how we don’t see them clearly but they are there
Your comments are spot on. The guy is frustrated first. He says the hell with your excuses. Pasoori means like a complicated problematic chaos. It’s a Punjabi word. But then They can’t even live without each other. So the song is bitter sweet. The end is more reconciling. Appreciate your comments. Love from Texas.
As always, you guys dig deep to understand, and I love it. The song is about the frustration of lovers bound by societal constraints, and all the people in the background, including the yellow jeweled guy are other frustrated(not necessarily because of unrequited love) and unseen people who are representing diversity. The lyrics are like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that the lovers feel when they are separated; anger, sadness, longing, all mixed in. The yellow 'sari' wearing lady dancing at the beginning and throughout is one of the premier classical dancers named Sheema Kirmani, performing a dance style I believe called 'Odissi', while the other dancers are up and coming artists. Please do watch the bts of this song which makes it clearer than my ramblings :)
This song speaks on a personal and universal level. How between two lovers the distances are created by silly notions sometimes, or hurdles created by people around us, religion, ethnicity, cultural differences etc. The two people are trying to pave a way around these nuisances (which is what Pasoori means) and to get back to each other. Ona broader spectrum it is how the borders, language etc divide us as humans and how we need to break free of them in order to come together as a humanitarian unit. The props match the cameos presented. It signifies that eventually how we become a reflection of our circumstances. For example the girl's face peering from behind the curtains and her dress matches the curtains also. The curtains are divisive, They keep the outside out and inside hidden from the out. Later on she is shown with the curtains drawn apart as the progression where lovers are figuring out that their separation is circumstantial and they can work towards removing those hurdles. Curtains removed. These cameos are all representation of different cultures of Pakistan, locally and the different people of the world globally. I do ask forgiveness as this has become long but this is such a profound and much needed theme in today's world. Plz do the BTS of this song also. Thanks and Blessings.
They tried to show the culture of Lahore and the set is about the artist who live nearby eachother and performing on an evening and they are singing and they both are telling their part of story.
What a reaction guys!!! I love the fact that you guys go so deep into each of the songs and in the end reach a result that is pretty much spot on. Some really good explanations by other people in the comments so won't re-explain the same things - just wanted to express my gratitude to Nick, Jobi, Gabe & everyone at Boring Reviews who bring brilliant content so regularly! Keep up the fantastic work!!
To answer your question about both using "he", in many southasian languages it's pretty easy to make pronounces gender neutral. They translated it to "he" which also has reason but it's a long one. So yeah the actual Punjabi lines they were using in the songs were gender neutral
pasoori is about the political atmosphere too, also queer representation, ali sethi is a genius ahhhh India and Pakistan have the 'distance' also that we should own our culture and our people
Guys, part of back story here is that this appearance was debut for Shae Gill where Ali Sethi apparently saw her sing on Instagram of all things. If you watch this self reaction from her, and what looks to be siblings, watching the video for first time… just heartwarming ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BXxyrtGc-lc.html
Pls watch the Musical Journey of Pasoori. It doesn't explain the jewels on the face as such, but it gives great insight into the making of the video. All the contributions made by the individual members of the team.
There are definitely a lot of metaphors in there. Ali Sethi's intent on writing the lyrics is to transcend love above and beyond worries, restrictions, boundaries and binaries. He articulates that in the BTS for this song. So when you see vivid colors and varying portraits of individuals such as a hindu kathak dancer, the boy with a decorated face, the girl with an unconventional hairdo reading graphic stories or the group of boys dancing flamboyantly - it is all symbolizing diversity in religion, expression, gender, identity, orientation and breaking barriers. So the thing on the face is not a 'thing' here, it is just part of art director and ali sethi's thought process of diversity and breaking boundaries. Hope that makes sense.
Technically speaking Kathak dancers need not necessarily be Hindu. They can be Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim as well as a whole host of other identities. It's a classical dance form embraced by people of many faiths in the subcontinent. Not trying to nitpick because the rest of your comment is spot.
@@aamnahere6250 Agreed, but I was referring to Sheema Kirmani specifically, who is a Pakistani Hindu and hence contributing to the diversity. While dancing has no religion, the dancer does and is a pretty well known figure in Pakistan advocating diversity and tolerance. FYI, one of the portrait faces is a Christian. So the choices made by the producers to include certain people is very deliberate to speak to the diverse cultures or sub-cultures within Pakistan.
@@aamnahere6250 but the base is hinduism ,Kathak is a classical dance form dedicated to hindu dietys ..so how would you even say that it doesn't consists the roots of Sanatan dharm,
If You Guys Watch The BTS Of This Song You Will Fully Understand The Song! Its More About The Restrictions and Boaders , That Keep People Away From Each Other.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I do love this song. It's so unique. It's does sound better the more and more you listen to it. I did get a little confused with the lyrics but I do agree with Jodi's reasonings. Oh but Jodi did you like the song?
set is cultural.... the art is part of the culture, the court yard is how some live in parts of pakistan/ india. Its all our cultural history. This is actually who we are.
Love the reaction, I just hope that you guys could keep the English subtitles on for us to see too. It helps me understand the song at the moment and feels like I’m watching it with you guys.
It's all about different ignorant people who are waiting for their loved one but they don't come.... The video and song is all about the feelings of lonely people who don't get importance in their life but still they don't lose their hope ... They are waiting for someone special... I think you got my point.
In traditional Pakistani poetry, a love interest is always refereed to as male regardless of their real gender. Only very modern male poets have started to actually use female gender.
Needs someone's help please . Found the video of who is performing on Coke Studio this season. And as one does, you take a peek at their work. Well, the first pinned comment was by Rovalio one of the artists involved in this seasons great works. So he has released a song, "Rovalio & Abdul Hannan - bikhra (official lyric video)". Here comes where I need your help, anyone familiar with Anglo-American music from the 70-90s tell me what it reminds you of, please?
The song is about queer love, lyrics are talking about distance and 'majboori ( helplessness)' and how they talk about hiding their love.... the use of bright hues where everyone is styled uniquely (non gendered), drapes for men, Brocade for Ali, a vest for Shae etc.. It’s almost like all the characters/dancers in the video present as queer icons. Also in the BTS the singer mentions that the song transcend binaries.
Sheema khirmani, the classical dancer with whom this song beigns was spectacular. And it's a big shame for Pakistan to throw stones over her just because she is a hindu who dances and wear a saree. She is gem🥺❤️
Please react these songs 1. Humko Humise chura lo song from mahabattein. 2. Wajah tum ho song. 3. Sanam re song from sanam re movie. 4. Kuch kuch hota hai song. 5. Gerua song of dilwale movie. 6. Yeh mera dil song of helen. 7. Ho gaya hai tujko to pyaar sajna song . 8. Dilbar song of nora fatehi. 9. Akhiyon se goli maare song. 10. Tune maari entryareen song.
...I hate to break it to you, they were different men 🤣 the song is live, they record in one go with live music, they have no time to remove the Jewels. The men at the end were different.
The setting and the culture that is shown in the video is about diversity in Pakistan. In Kana Yaari they showed Baluchi culture....in Neray Neray Vas was Panjabi, and here in this video it's Hinduism. .in Pakistan there are many cultures and religions and people of different ethnicity.
Interesting reaction. Please always review the BTS (behind the scene), which is fascinating and helps explain the song and the spirit. I took this song as a societal problem that we as human beings caused it by creating all these unnecessary barriers, borders, and limitations, etc.
Oh my god i love your reactsss 💖💖💖 there is a song name 'Sohna tu' by pepsi, super cool vibe, dance, beat, and what not?!? Please please pleaseee react to it too 💃💃💃 much loveee 💖
Guys please fix the sound on your videos, there is literally no bass, you are not doing justice to these wonderful coke studio videos and to your viewers. Love 💕
