k. done. I liked 2-3 songs of Om Shanti Om but have not bothered to know much about Vishal-Sekhar so I didn't even know that they have copied that music. SEL are indeed good in the new breed, but consistentcy and popularity is not there with them. A R Rahman had become a household name for Hindi music in some 3-4 years (Roza, Humse hai muqabla, Bombay, Rangeela), but SEL is now in some 10th year and has given some 20 films and some are indeed good, but if they has not become a household name, I think it is because their rate of improvement and innovation are quite slow. They should give more Dil Chahta hai stuff which has a soul soothing freshness. And while we are at DCH, let me mention that though I don't like Javed's lyrics much, still I smile everytime I listen to or remember his line from the film "Ishq ke Ghaat jo utartey hain." What a naughty line. Those who don't know, there is a hindi phrase, sort of idiom, "Maut ke ghaat utarna", so he twisted a word and put "Ishq" at the level of "maut" which migles so well in the love-is-stupidity persona of Aamir in this film. He should give more such things compared to the prose lectures he penned for Ye Taara, Wo Taara of Swades. -- Still, when Mahendra Kapoor speaks about today's music being not good, he is basically wrong because even the copycats are also ending up giving hummable music because they copy from the music that was good and popular in original so the copy also becomes good. e.g. Anu Malik ended up giving good music in Gentleman stealing note by note from our man. -- Rawat
