New Music
Current tune: Sau dard hai….sau raah pe (Jaanemannn)
Heard the two new Anu Malik albums Jaan-e-Mann and Umrao Jaan. Loved the music of Jaanemann. All the songs are very very different from the current fare that is going around. My personal favorite of the album is “sau dard”. Anu Malik seems to have done a decent job but the million buck question is if he borrrowed these tunes from somewhere far far away, or sometime ages ago! Gulzar’s lyrics is Aone as usual and Sonu Nigam in most of the song is excellent as usual - again best in my personal fav - sau dard.
And for some reason I dont seem to be listening intently to any songs of Umrao Jaan except “Salaam”. Actually I havent heard any songs completely except Salaam. I am just stuck right there. Saw the previews! I am not an ardent fan of Aishwarya’s but I have to say that she look stunning in the promos. I don’t like her and I certainly don’t like her attitude, giggles, and immature comments on international shows. But she definitely is a stunner in Umrao Jaan. Abhishek Bachchan is the other stunner in the movie. Cannot wait to watch it.
Until then I am looking forward to watching Don and still awaiting the music of Dhoom 2! Life has been very hectic so there has not been much free time, but I spend whatever I get of it listening to music or catching up on movies I missed. One such movie I watched while I was on a “catching up” session was Lage Raho Munnabhai - but that is another post. Another day.
