Hmm. And what do you find wrong in it? I think it is perfectly OK. First time, I had heard the term song bank, or rather tune bank was in mid 80s that Nadeem Sharavan, during the period of their struggle, had composed many tunes that they then were finalizing and recording and giving to films, thus having bulk releases in short span. How does it matter? NS did give many lovely albums from these tune-bank songs. NS' "pardesi jana nahin" is still my fav that still retains the first day freshness. such a rarity in bolly music where most songs die within two months. A song is not a pizza that has to eaten ovenfresh lest it will loose its taste. A tune is evergreen. When you hear remixes of not just RDB 70s songs but even the remixes of Johrabai Ambalewali's 50s songs, and like them and humm then, u r actually appreciating a 60 year old tune. I think there is nothing wrong in it. To show another parallel, Veerzara had tunes from Late Madan Mohan's "tune-bank" used 30 years later. What do you think was wrong in it? I find it perfectly ok. I personally find Veerzara's music not upto yash chopra's great standards with Khayyam, and sadly Lata's voice sounded decisively aged and unfit not just for young lead pair, but also for the films in general. Still, the song were sounding perfectly 2004-ish and no way 1973-ish like Abhiman's Tere Mere Milan ki Ye Raina or Bobby's Jhooth Boley Kawwa Kate or Pran Jaye Par VAchan na jaye's chain se hamko kabhi or Aa Gale ja's Jane Tu Ya Jane na. :-) pun intended, which all were lovely songs. > That's your opinion. They have shown Bipasha as a nautanki artiste with > the other gem "Namak Ishq" also thrown in. :-) OK. so it was not MD Vishal Bhardwaj but the director Vishal Bhardwaj who had selected nautanki angle. :-) Does it matter that they are one and the same human being wearing two hats? :-) > Vinayak OK. we agree that apples and oranges are different. :-) Had Adam eaten an orange in the Eden garden, we would not have been here. -- Rawat
