Sing ‘Jai ho’ to avoid the cops

Gearing up for the forthcoming cricket World Cup and the next edition of the IPL, bookies are using popular songs like “Jai ho” and “Munni badnaam hui” to an altogether new end — setting them as their caller tunes to evade the cops while placing bets!
Officers from Mumbai Crime Branch have decoded some of their tunes. Latest hits and even popular oldies like “Chalo ek baar phir se” now feature as ringtones and caller tunes in the bookie world.Ranbir Kapoor’s “Tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda” is an alert which says the cops are around.
“Aal izz well” from “3 Idiots” means ‘all clear, you can place your bets.’ “Tere mast mast do nain” stands for ‘you are under police scanner. Your call is on record.’ “Munni badnaam hui” stands for ‘we are not getting the expected rates’, the Akshay Kumar-Shilpa Shetty number “Churake dil mera goriya chali” indicates that the market’s running in loss, and “Pee loon teri neeli neeli ankhon se
shabnam” is a hint to distribute the money and cover up losses.
“Nahi nahi abhi nahi” from the film, “Jawani Diwani”, is a warning to stop calling as a police raid is likely. And the patriotic song “Suno gaur se duniyawalon” indicates that India’s the favourite, while “Jai ho” proclaims that India’s winning.
Salman Khan’s “Tera hi jalwa” means ‘business is good. Place more bets and you’ll win.’ Mahendra Kapoor’s famous “Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban
jayen” from “Gumrah” says, ‘the contract’s over. Now we are strangers to each other’!
