Music review:Jaane tu ya Jaane Na, incredible music@ Jaane tu ya Jaane Na
Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na looks to be the perfect launch pad for Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan. The music by A.R.Rahman seems to have create the right impression. The music of Jaane Tu Jaane Na, is peppy and youthful, the one that can be in the same mould as Duniya Dilwalon Ki. With peppy and soulful romantic numbers in Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na, the album should surely rock.
'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi' should end up as one of the best romantic tracks of 2008. Beautifully written by director and lyricist Abbas Tyrewala, this should be likened by all, particularly by the girls who are named ‘Aditi’ and their boyfriends. The singer Rashid’s voice seems to be a perfect foil to Imran Khan.
Tap your legs to the foot-tapping “Pappu cant dance”. Strict warning: Play it loud. The track is racy and fun-filled. Singers Anupama Deshpande, Benny Dayal, Blaze, Tanvi, Darshana, Satish Subramanium, Mohd. Aslam have created a zingy feel to the track. Both the remixed version and the actual version, though the remixed version is more danceable.
The song ‘‘Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai’ sung by Runa has a haunting feel of lost love.. It is in the same mould as ‘Zara Zara’ or ‘Tanhai’. But the track may take time to grow. The pensive feel is conveyed in a more solemn mood through Sukhvinder song in the male version.
‘Nazrein Milaana Nazrein Churaana’ is yet another youthful track that can make you addicted. This one is also sung by a bevy of singers- Naresh Iyer, Benny Dayal, Satish Chakravarthy, Darshana, Shwetha, Tanvi, Bhargavi, Anupama etc.
'
Tu Bole Main Boloon sung by A.R.Rahman has feel of a classic Hollywood musical . The song is a take on how boys and guys have different ways of looking at things. This one also make time to grow but the musical arrangements are just perfect.
Rashid Ali is again in top form with the most romantic song of the album ‘Kahin Toh Hogi’. A personal favorite, this one has a very good repeat value. Defintely one of those tracks to enter your i-pod.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is the best album of the year so far and if there is no competitor in its way, it will fetch yet another award for AR.Rahman. The frothy and youthful album of A.R.Rahman in the form of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, is a pleasant diversion from the music wizard who had been slotted lately into giving music only for period films and serious cinema. Finally the Rangeela flavor of Rahman is back!
Listen to Pappu can't dance saala :)

Aamir Khan offers 'sincere apology'
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has offered "sincere apology" for posting on his blog that he had named his pet dog after fellow superstar Shah Rukh Khan .
"To those people who were uncomfortable with that part or disturbed, my sincere apologies because I didn't mean to upset anybody or that wasn't my intention", Aamir told reporters in Mumbai on Tuesday.
He said his intention was "just in good humour and if someone has been really upset, any fan has been upset, my fan, Shah Rukh's fan, my sincere apologies. I didn't mean to do that at all".
"Shah Rukh is a very dear friend of mine. And I have the highest respect and regard for him", Aamir said adding "that blog was in good humour. All people have found it really funny".
However, "some people didn't find it funny. Some of my fans felt I should not have said that," Aamir said.
"I received comments about the blogpost. Some found it funny and humorous. Others did not. My sincere apologies to our fans who found the blog offending. But, I did not intend to hurt anybody," Aamir said.
Replying to questions, Aamir said he had not called up SRK after the blog controversy.
Aamir Khan was talking to reporters outside veteran actor Shammi Kapoor's residence where he along with his family members and the cast and crew of his home productionJaane Tu Ya Jaane Na presented the actor first copy of the film's music CD.
Aamir on his blog last week had said "Shah Rukh" is the name of his pet dog at Panchgani. He had also clarified that the dog was named by the caretakers of the house who had brought the animal the same day when SRK was shooting for a commercial there.
Aamir had began his blogpost saying, "Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits. What more can I ask for".

I am proud to be an Indian: Amitabh Bachchan
I am proud to be an Indian: Amitabh Bachchan.
Asserting that India has made impressive progress since independence, Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan has sharply criticised those who take a cynical view of the accomplishments of the nation.
"There is nothing to be cynical and critical of our accomplishments," Bachchan told a press conference New York Friday evening, reminding a questioner that 60 years is a very short period in the life of a nation.
"There is nothing to be cynical and critical of our accomplishments," Bachchan told a press conference New York Friday evening, reminding a questioner that 60 years is a very short period in the life of a nation.
For a long time, India had been suppressed by foreign rulers and now that it is independent, it has to put its progress on the fast track to catch up with the rest of the world and that creates difficulties sometimes, Bachchan emphasised.
The countries, which are now developed, made step-by-step progress since the industrial revolution from which India did not benefit and now to catch up, the country has to take quantum leaps, Bachchan said.
But when one takes quantum leaps, some vacuum is left and that creates some difficulties, Bachchan stressed, adding that India has to take action on two tracks - leap frog development and deal with the vacuum created.
Bachchan said he is confident that the country has the acumen and desire to overcome these difficulties. That is clear from the fact that India has progressed to the extent that world is now showing interest in not only its economic progress but also its culture, heritage, food, dress and even movies.
"I am proud to be an Indian, very very proud of its accomplishments," Bachchan asserted amidst cheers.
Giving example of the importance that world attached to the progress being made by India, Bachchan recalled that during a function in London, the city Mayor had remarked that when 20 years from now, the world leaders sit down to discuss universal economics, there will be President of the US, the Prime Minister of China and the Prime Minister of India.
Bachchan is in New York to participate in the centenary celebration of his father, famous Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, organised by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, USA. He will render selected verses from the poems of his father at special function being got up on the occasion.
Replying to a question, Bachchan said main purpose of the movies is to entertain and in the process if they also provide education or acquaint Indians outside the country with their culture and heritage, it is something the movie industry could be proud of.
But then the organisations like Bhavan and government have to do more to ensure that generation born outside the country remains acquainted with language and the culture of the country, Bachchan said.
The movies, Bachchan said, are not made for a small audience or for people in a particular region but they need to have appeal across the country, or even abroad, for their success. However, he said that they are a great integrator as people from wide spectrum of regions see and appreciate them and that creates common bonds.
But Bachchan took strong objection when a question was put as to when Bollywood would catch up with Hollywood. He said it should rather be the other way round. The Indian cinema has its own place independent of Hollywood and is not dependent on it.
