| Yashraj Films (YRF) first tryst with animation strikes big with ROADSIDE ROMEO, in alliance with giants Walt Disney Pictures that blossoms out on the big screen with the voice-over of actors like Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kappor and Javed Jaffery for lead characters. It's an experimental in its exhibit and marks the directorial debut of cherubic actor-turned-director Jugal Hansraj in the marquee. Salim-Suleiman, now a favorite with YRF (NEAL N NIKKI, AAJA NACHLE, CHAKDE INDIA and the upcoming RAB NE BANA DI JODI) makes their first major attempt at animation project with Jaideep Sahni penning out the essentials. Their combination worked wonders in CHAKDE INDIA but animation is an all-together different genre. Do they click as a team again? Even YRF has just one musical success with BACHNA AE HASEENO lately and now ROADSIDE ROMEO comes out as their next big hope of this year. Will the competence of Salim-Suleiman be delivering out another FASHION for esteemed Yashraj Films? Do find this out! | |

GOLMAAL RETURNS Director :Rohit Shetty Music : Ashiesh Pandit, Pritam Chakraborty, Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Lyrics : Ravjiani Sameer, Neeraj Shridhar, Ashiesh Pandit, Suzi Q, Starring : Vishal Dadlani and Kumaar Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Anjana Sukhani, Amrita Arora and Celina Jaitley. |
| The advent of sequels to successful comedies is one genre that has generated lots of optimism among filmmakers and its prospective viewers. After the smash-hit success of PHIR HERA PHERI, all eyes are set on highly awaited GOLMAAL RETURNS, sequel to GOLMAAL. After Vishal-Shekhar musical hullabaloo in the prequel, Pritam is the ''chosen one'' for this costly warfare that boasts array of A-list actors in its credits. It's been cake-walk for Pritam so far with four back-to back chartbusting albums but KIDNAP has all together stopped his dream run of success. GOLMAAL RETURNS is one tight spot that can really set the ball rolling again for him but does it match up to his gargantuan success standards. The inclusion of another prodigal composer Ashiesh Pandit is promising but does his flair matches up to the fire of Chirantan Bhatt (MISSION ISTANBUL) or Gourav Dasgupta (SUMMER 2007). Do find these out in an album that guarantees unlimited frothy comical entertainment with its hi-profile star cast. | |

DOSTANA Director :Tarun Mansukhani Music :Vishal-Shekhar Lyrics : Kumaar , Anvita Dutt Guptan and Vishal Dadlani Vocal : Amanat Ali, Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Dadlani |
| Vishal Shekhar gave us 'Lucky Boy' and 'Small Town girl' in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' and now they bring for us, 'Desi Girl'. The title couldn't be more right as the song is infused with all the traditional musical instruments like 'dhol', 'tabla' and 'harmonium'. The rhythm is reminiscent of Dharmendra's 'Jat Yamla', although certainly not derived or copied. The song is a treat as the superb fusion of Western and 'desi' rhythm is absolutely lethal. Shankar Mahadevan is a class apart and imparts his own touch and uniqueness to the song. His enthusiasm and energy comes through and one does not have to be a Nostradamus to predict that the song is bound to be a surefire chart buster (specially in the Overseas, where it is more relevant), what with the two handsome hunks, John and Abhishek grooving to the beat with the ravishing Priyanka Chopra. The lyricist Kumaar provides the perfect background with a superb intermingling of Hindi and a sprinkling of English. The highlight of the track are its lyrics, "Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl, There is no one like my desi girl." | |
