My take:
1) Once Yuvvraaj comes to an end, one wonders that which of the songs
from the album would turn into a chartbuster.
My take:
Shano is going to be most popular.
Mastam is going to be the runner up.
in terms of chart toppings.
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.
yeah, these songs are great and soothin.
But, a hip hop dance song would always become more popular than soothing
songs.
3)I have an excellent audio system, somehow the other numbers are just
petrol on top of water, doesn't sink in.
Sundar can't listen, saala.

4)Not all rahman tracks grows on you.
We all say that before the tracks grow on us. :-)
5)Picturisation may save some tracks, which cannot be said at this time.
Picturization had helped many an albums in the past and turned the chart
toppings.
In 80s, Madhuri Dixit/ Anil Kapoor's film Beta (Anand Millind)'s Koyal
Si Teri Boli was ruling the charts but when the movie got released, the
sensuous picturization of Dhak Dhak Karne Laga moved to the top and
removed Koyal.
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.
Cheers
Sundar (melbourne).
Thanks
