Jaane Tu Ya Jaane

Imran Khan
couldn't have asked for better. His film is getting a mega release, he has none
other than Aamir Khan to back him up, there is good buzz about his debut and
quite importantly he has A.R Rahman delivering a superb soundtrack. All that's
required now is to see how good the film turns out to be when it releases this
Friday!

Jannat
Even as the film
is looking at celebrating a 50 days run at the box office soon, this Pritam
soundtrack has been around for much longer than that. Bhatts can celebrate one
more addition to their catalogue of timeless albums.

New
Kismat
Konnection
Now that's what
one terms as a truly smash hit entry into the charts! After 'Race' and
'Jannat',
Pritam has now made it three in a row with 'Kismat Konnection' too hitting the
bull's eye. With the album breaking into Top-3 in just a week of it's release,
it would have to do quite well over the period of time to sustain itself at
this
position.
The sole track
composed by Sajid-Wajid, 'Soniye Ve' isn't as impressive as the rest of the
album that has songs by Pritam.

Race
Dropping out of
Top-3 due to TIPS/Pritam's own 'Kismat Konnection' taking a flying start at the
music stands, 'Race' moves a step down. Still, 'Race' has done good enough to
gain such high numbers for itself that any other newer album would have to do
exceedingly well to emerge as the best seller before the end of
year.

Love Story
2050
Hovering around
the middle of the charts and not really proving to be challenging enough to be
a
contender for the top spot, 'Love Story 2050' is now reaching it's theatrical
release date.
Latest number to
have arrived on the music channels is the title song but with the film's theme
being it's USP rather than the music, one waits to see if there is any
escalation in sales after 4th July!

Ada
If one has to
really draw comparisons between musical successes of 'Ada' with that of a film,
'Bheja Fry' is the one that comes in mind. Just like the film which went on to
be a success just on the basis of word of mouth, even this soundtrack by A.R.
Rahman is also following suit!
Except for the
songs that are managing to hold on well, there is absolutely no buzz about the
overall project, it's cast, theme etc.

Thoda Pyaar Thoda
Magic
'Thoda Pyaar Thoda
Magic' has turned out to be an overall 'thanda' affair for Shankar Ehsaan Loy.
However, with the release of the film, one still would look forward to the next
fortnight and then ascertain if the situational theme tracks help any
sales!
As can be seen
from the reviews and the audience word of mouth, music has turned out to be one
of the most ignored aspects of 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'

Ugly Aur
Pagli
Anu Malik has a
reason to smile as his 'Ugly Aur Pagli' is fetching a decent response amongst
the club hoppers! Moving up by a couple of spots, the music is catching up well
with the youngsters with the second track currently on the music channels -
'Karle Gunaah' - turning out to be an interesting composed and shot number
too!
A few listeners
may scoff at the idea that 'Uglu Aur Pagli' carries a standard club-sound album
that may not necessarily enjoy a long shelf life

Khuda Kay
Liye
'Khuda Kay Liye
has been seeing a sharp decline since last 2-3 weeks. Now at the verge of being
almost out of the charts, the album seems to have been picked by all who had
been making a queue for it after a strong word of mouth!

De
Taali
At the bottom of
the barrel and not really making much progress, 'De Taali' may soon be history
once 'Singh Is Kinng', 'Rock On' and a couple of other major albums arrive in
next fortnight! This Vishal-Shekhar album would be remembered most for it's
title song and 'Maari Teetri'.
The film is
showing exit signs in a week or two it would be off from theaters. This would
strongly impact 'De Taali', just like it did for Vishal-Shekhar's last -
'Tashan'!
