Sorry don't agree with you. I think songs in JA and Lagaan were picturized very well. Furthermore Ashutosh is no doubt one of the finest directors out there and especially after Lagaan, Swades and JA he is now among the A-list "big" directors. And I think it is important that our boss keeps working with big directors.
