Pritam: For me, JTYJN is the music of the year Joginder Tuteja, Bollywood Trade News Network
2008 is coming to an end and the debate has started heating up around the best soundtrack of the year so far. Will Pritam walk away with the honors due to five successful albums – RACE, JANNAT, SINGH IS KINNG, KISMAT KONNECTION and GOLMAAL RETURNS? Or is it going to be A.R. Rahman who has proved his dominance with albums like JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA, JODHAA AKBAR and GHAJINI? Even Vishal–Shekhar have had a fruitful year with BACHNA AE HASEENO, TASHAN and DOSTANA. "Yes, there have been many good albums this year but for me, the topmost music of 2008 has to be JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA. 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi' is such brilliant composition, it itself can be weighed in gold", says Pritam in sheer awe of this composition by Rahman. "That's because it is songs like these that inspire you to push your creatively. A number like this doesn't come every year, leave aside a month", continues Pritam. But considering that he has given a string of hits yet again in 2008, doesn't he feel that time have come for his consistency to be acknowledged? After all, he has been pretty much ruling the scene for last two years, just like Himesh Reshammiya was doing for a couple of years before him? "Well, I am not even dreaming of thinking in this direction this year at the least", Pritam speaks in the same tone as before, "How can you even bring any other song or album in comparison? Forget them all, for me JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA is the music of the year." http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/08/dec/19-pritam-for-me-jtyjn-is-the-music-of-the-year-120803.asp Krish.
