A nice and logical response, Rawatji. Way to go.

In 90s, Madhuri Dixit/ Sanjay Kapoor's film Raja (Nadeem Shravan)'s Nazrein Mili Dil Dhadka was a hit but when the movie got released, the naughty, mischievous picturization of Ankhiyaan Milaaoon Kabhi moved to the top and removed Love you raja. Of course, picturization can help and anything can happen. But, there is a catch. Ghai is still holding his musical sensitivities, but his directorial capabilities have taken a down slide. His films are not doing well, and he has lost the grip on public's pulse. His latest many movies are outright shabbiliy made. Even taal was badly made movie. Other than Anil Kapoor's new type of practical, pragramtic, wordly-wise characterization, there was nothing new in Taal that one can notice and remember (of course, Aish's beauty and ARR's music were there). The scene where Akshay's dad insults Aish and her father and the way Akshay reacts was outright sickening. Pardes's climax of Mahima running away, and then showing the guy's love bites to the elders was sickening. Yaadein's climax of that shareholders' meeting showing cards to jury the fate of love of the duo was unrealistic. So, I am not expecting much, visually, from Subhash Ghai this time also. In any case, this album has its own perfect foundation and it would bring viewers to the theatres, exactly what happened in Taal, even the movie is badly done. 6)Ghai rightly quoted Taal - Best Musical Ever from rahman. He knows, rahman knows... A statement is valid at the time it is made. That EVER meant SO FAR. It has been 9 years. They are duly entitled to revise their statement or surpass it.

[arr] Yuvvraaj - my observations.
My take: 1) Once Yuvvraaj comes to an end, one wonders that which of the songs from the album would turn into a chartbuster. And to one's surprise, it is hard to pin point on a particular track since Ghai and Rahman have mainly come up with the soundtrack that would possibly fuse well with the narrative but doesn't really throw a number which would make its presence felt from the top The soundtrack isn't bad; it just isn't very great, as one had anticipated all this while. 2)Dil kas rishta, manmohini and tu muskura are the top 3 numbers no doubt. One similarity I could notice is the use of ALAAP in all 3, Whenever he uses them, its almost a gauranteed hit. Good track tu muskura becomes excellent bcoz of javed ali's alaap. 3)I have an excellent audio system, somehow the other numbers are just petrol on top of water, doesn't sink in. 4)Not all rahman tracks grows on you. 5)Picturisation may save some tracks, which cannot be said at this time. 6)Ghai rightly quoted Taal - Best Musical Ever from rahman. He knows, rahman knows... Cheers Sundar (melbourne).
