You may be right on the fact that it was indeed the song and not a bgm. I am
going to watch it again next Saturday (already booked my ticket!) so will look
out for the bgms this time. But one that stuck to my head is that one that I've
mentioned in another e-mail - the one played in the wedding night and the scene
where jodha does her caligraphy lesson. I love that piece. it came in some
other places too. What I am puzzled abt is that no one seems to have related
the Akbar angry bgm to the terrorist one in Roja. Because no one has commented
on this, I am beginning to think tht i was imagining stuff!

good write up. i have the same opinions. The bgms were really good
too. I think it wasn't a bgm playing after the kitchen scene but the
remaining of jashn-e-bahara itself.Need to watch it again!
