Bewafa Bar is a song with atmosphere. I heard it once long ago and at some inadvertent moment it pops out from the recesses of my mind and sends a whiff of air through the cobwebs.
‘Bewafa’ means the ‘Betrayer’, here referring to the lover who betrays.
At first glance it might seem an odd song to remember and recollect. But to me it has got lots going for it: Adnan Sami (need I say more) + a nice tune + the unshaven Sanjay Dutt who so fits the character of a betrayed lover + what I think are authentic bar dancers who create a great atmosphere and dance with passion (thank god the Shiamak Davar clones are not around. These girls are so much more authentic and earthy)
