Translation of Gilehriyaan Song from Dangal Movie:
Why are my days and afternoons changing color and chirping merrily
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why is my heartbeat hopping excitedly like squirrels
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why are my days and afternoons changing color and chirping merrily
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why is my heartbeat hopping excitedly like squirrels
I don't know, I don't know
Why is the weather a little bit crazy
or my mood so clownish
why is the taste of fulfilling my heart's desire
so delicious and juicy
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why are the branches of my desires
filled with thousands of red Gulmohar (Royal Poinciana) flowers
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Why is my heartbeat hopping excitedly like squirrels
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I have made a new friendship with the sky
Earth is feeling jealous, making faces
and telling me that I am getting spoiled
Life is bored with counting and
now along with numbers is reading poetry verses
I have left right and wrong behind
and going to the court
Why is my heartbeat hopping excitedly like squirrels
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Gilehriyaan song from Dangal: Interesting Details
Setting of Gilehriyaan Song from Dangal Movie
Mahavir Singh Phogat (played by Aamir Khan), who was an amateur national wrestling champion in his younger days, has been the wrestling coach of his two daughters since they were young. The daughters, Geeta and Babita, have done well and won several wrestling awards and prizes. After winning the national championship, the oldest daughter, Geeta, leaves her home in a small town to join the National Sports Academy in a bigger city to train for international wrestling events. In the academy, Geeta learns new wrestling moves and different techniques. She gets access to fancy sports equipment, which she never had before. She also gets a taste of freedom for the first time in her life. After living under the strict discipline of her father all her life, this is a big change for her. She finds new friends and many temptations to distract her from her wrestling training. She is excited and wide-eyed to shop in a shopping mall. She enjoys riding on a scooter and eating her favorite street food which had been forbidden by her strict father. She starts paying more attention to her clothes and looks. She gives up her previous crudely cut boyish hairstyle and starts growing her hair longer. She learns to style and blow dry her hair. She starts painting her nails. She also gets attention from male athletes in the facility, which is a brand new experience for her. When Geeta's father calls her to find out about her training, she doesn't talk to him properly and does not give any details about her training, which disturbs her father. The younger daughter, Babita, continues to live at home and train under her father's strict regimen without any expensive equipment. The song shows a clear contrast between the lifestyles of the oldest daughter Geeta and the second daughter Babita.

Aamir Khan's transformation for Dangal movie
The movie required Aamir Khan to grow older through the movie. His character, Mahavir Singh Phogat, had to change from a young and fit athlete to an older and overweight man. In fact, he had to act as an old and fat man in most of the film. At first glance, it is not easy to recognize Aamir Khan in the movie. To do the role genuinely, Aamir Khan decided to put on a lot of weight. By his own account, his weight had reached 97 Kilograms (213 Pounds) with 38% fat. Instead of wearing a fat suit or using video tricks, Aamir Khan chose to put on a lot of weight to do the role authentically. Click here to see his transformation from fat to fit, which clearly shows that his fat belly and the double chin in the film are all real because he is shown topless in this video clip. Aamir Khan chose to film the fat parts first because he would have an incentive to lose the extra weight to do the parts of the film in which he was fit. He went through a grueling exercise, weight training and diet regimen to lose the excess weight over several months. The shooting of the film was halted for several months as the crew waited for Aamir Khan to become fit again. This shows tremendous dedication and hard work on Aamir Khan's part and a very patient and understanding film crew. Aamir Khan made his impressive debut as an adult actor in the popular film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT) in 1988. Over the years, he has made many memorable films and has grown a lot as an actor.

The entire cast of Dangal has done a superb job in the movie. Other than the lead actor Aamir Khan, most of the cast members were not well known Bollywood actors. Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra played the roles of two daughters. Neither actress had any previous wrestling training. Both of them and Aamir Khan went through rigorous wrestling and weight training for the film and were trained by a real wrestling coach. Even child actors, Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar, who played the roles of younger versions of Geeta and Babita, were trained in wrestling. The cast also had to take language lessons to learn the dialect that is spoken in the state of Haryana in Central India. Their hard work resulted in a really good movie with realistic wrestling matches without using body doubles. Click here to see clips of their training.

Sakshi Tanwar played the role of Mahavir's wife and Geeta and Babita's mother. She had relatively few lines in the movie but showed her feelings very well by using her eyes and facial expressions. She looks very authentic in her role as a woman from a small town in Haryana. Aparshakti Khurana did a convincing and entertaining role as Mahavir Singh's nephew as a supporting actor.

Social impact of Dangal movie
Dangal is a very different type of Bollywood movie. It is not a usual song and dance Bollywood movie. It is also not an Indian version of a Hollywood film as many Bollywood movies are. It is a movie that delivers a powerful and hopeful message without being preachy. A movie like Dangal can have a major social impact on Indian society where in many communities girls are considered as second class citizens and have very few opportunities in academics or sports. The situation is the same in many other countries also. Although the real life story of the Phogat sisters can also inspire people, a movie like Dangal can reach millions of people and can help to bring a social change and create more opportunities for girls all over the world. Dangal was also commercially very successful in India and many other countries, which could encourage other filmmakers to make more meaningful movies like Dangal.
