By Joginder Tuteja, May 26, 2008 - 10:46 IST Rank Last week Film Plusses Minuses 1 1 Jannat There is no stopping Pritam as 'Jannat' continues to announce it's supremacy. The music has shown an exponential escalation after the release of the film (which in itself is doing great business). One wonders whether Bhatts would think of anyone other than Pritam and/or Emraan Hashmi for any new project of theirs from this point on! Best song of the album, 'Door Na Jaa', doesn't find a place in the film's narrative 2 2 Race Even though the wait for film's DVD is still on, 'Race' has it's moments in the charts as the music continues to do exceedingly well. Now one waits to see 'Mujhpe To Jadoo' being revived in some way since it didn't find a place in the film due to 'Sexy Lady' replacing it. None 3 New Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa Perhaps for the first time ever in this decade at least, A.R. Rahman has as many as 3 albums of his finding themselves in the Top-10 music charts. While 'Jodhaa Akbar' has been there for 100 days, 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' promises to go even further due to some brilliant songs. This is THE album which is going to be a serious contender for the place at the top. None. This one is designed for urban youth and works perfectly well for the target audience. 4 4 Khuda Kay Liye The film is a success, it's music has been a bigger success and now it's DVDs have arrived on the stands too! 'Khuda Kay Liye' is an album which would stay on to do consistent business for a long time since it comes with a timeless feel and doesn't get restricted by the film's theme or an era. None 5 3 Tashan 'Tashan' is doing a constant flip-flop by being in and out of the Top-3. This week it finds itself on the brink of Top-5 and one suspects it would ever be able to up from this point on. The film has more or less ended it's run too. It's a pity that the soundtrack too would see a way downwards with not many really knowing that they missed out on some cutting edge score. 6 New Ada This is what the name A.R. Rahman spells for! Even though this small time film comes with an unknown banner and new star cast, the music has started registering good sales just on the basis of maestro's name on the credits and some excellent word of mouth spreading through the world of blogs and forums. 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' may still hold the edge but 'Ada' too is showing good competition. 'Ada' is a mix bag with half the songs being quite good while the remaining half being average. Nothing is below the mark though. 7 5 Jodhaa Akbar Third Rahman album in the charts, 'Jodhaa Akbar' finds itself out of Top-5, courtesy his newer albums making their presence felt. What is commendable though is that older albums like these are still fighting off all the challenge (or the lack of it) which is coming their way from the likes of 'Mere Baap Pehle Aap', 'De Taali', 'Woodstock Villa' and the rest! None 8 6 Taare Zameen Par Shankar Ehsaan Loy have seen an extended successful run of 'Taare Zameen Par'. However, now they would be sincerely hoping that their newest soundtrack, 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic', shows some magic at the music stands. The music of this latest Yash Raj film has hit the stands and it has to be seen if it manages to make a mark at the stands. None 9 7 U Me Aur Hum At the bottom of the charts, 'u Me Aur Hum' is now at it's last leg. One expects a lot from music of upcoming films like 'Love Story 2050' and 'Haal E Dil' and if any of these do manage to create an impression, it may be good bye time for 'U Me Aur Hum'. In it's entire tenure in the charts, 'U Me Aur Hum' could never scale the high that it deserved 10 - - - -
