References in music

Several Bollywood songs have references to Bareilly and its musical genres such as jhumka and kajra.

"Surma bareilly waala ankhiyon mein aisa daala", a song from the movie Kismat and sung by Asha Bhosle and Shamshad Begumrefer to Bareilly in the line – "Jhumka Bareilly waala kaanon mein aisa daala. Jhumke ne le li meri jaan, haai remain tere qurbaan."

The "Barra Bazaar" (Market) of Bareilly was widely praised during the Mughal Period. Owing to the popularity of the Market (Bazar) the song "Jhumka Gira Re, Bareilly ke Bazar mein" (from the movie "Mera Saaya" and sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Shakeel Badauni) recalls the name of this market.

The recent song "Aaja Nachle" (from the movie Aaja Nach Le – featuring Madhuri Dixit) also uses the connection of Jhumka with Bareilly.

In the movie U Me Aur Hum – "New Delhi mein Bareilly Jaisa Saiyaan" (featuring Kajol and Ajay Devgan).

In the movie Jail – "Bareilly Ke bazaar mein" (featuring Neil Nitin Mukesh directed by Madhur BHandarkar).
