IANS has listed out a few films, which have picked been christened by ‘strummy’ song names.
‘Tauba Tera Jalwa’: The title of the film, which is released in January 5 and stars Jatin Khurana, Ameesha Patel and Angela Krislinzki, reminds the lyrics of the song ‘Emosanal Attyachaar’ by Band Master Rangeela and Rasila from the 2009 dark comedy ‘Dev. D’ starring Abhay Deol.
‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’: The Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon-starrer ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ is all set to release on February 9.

‘Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam’: Directed by Anand Tiwari, it stars Vicky Kaushal, Ammy Virk and Tripti Dimri. Slated to release in February, the film’s monicker seems to be inspired by the song of the same name from the 1998 film ‘Duplicate’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Sonali Bendre and Juhi Chawala. The popular track was sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.
‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’: All set to hit the screens on Eid, this actioner stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.
