No Reason to Celebrate

Let's get this straight: Dulha Mil Gaya is a mediocre album that's essentially reminiscent of 90s music and doesn't match up to the standards of the contemporary music. In this Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan starrer, the title track and 'Shiri Farhad' are the only saving graces of the soundtrack.

Inspired from the philosophy of 'Akela aaya hai tu, akela hi jayega', the first song on the album, 'Akela Dil', is indeed a groovy number which compels one to relax and contemplate on the real meaning of life. Adnan Sami lends an amazing uniqueness to the song. Anushka Manchanda, despite getting only a few seconds on the song, sounds great with her high pitched rusty voice.

'Dulha Mil Gaya' is a vigorous number sung by none other than King of Bhangra, Daler Mehndi. With the sounds of dhol in the background, Daler's vocals are a sheer treat for the ears. The beauty of this song lies in its simple lyrics; and Daler's rendition takes the song to a different level altogether.

'Aaja Aaja Mera Ranjhna' doesn't have much to boast of. In fact, it springs up as a shocker after listening to first two songs on the album. The track reminds one of the music of 80s and early 90s, making one wonder what why a music composer would risk bringing that flavour to any of his compositions.

Next on the album is 'Magar Meri Jaan', another preachy number like 'Akela Dil' but not as impressive in terms of music. It's again a run-of-the-mill endeavour by Lalit Pandit. Singer Anushka Manchanda is the only saving grace with a noteworthy voice.

'Tu Jo Jaan Le' is the third songs in a row that takes one down to the memory lane, wherein a hero would cry out his feelings in a super-melodious manner. One can't help thinking what a cakewalk this song must have been for the talented Sonu Niigaam.

'Rang Diya Dil' is definitely a melodious track, but not an out of the box number. Shreya Ghoshal's voice fits in the bill and the song begins with a nice tune; but after a minute or so one looses interest as there is nothing new in the song to offer.

At last one takes a sigh of relief! 'Dilrubaon Ke Jalwe', a Qawwali track blended with hip-hop makes it an interesting listen. It does come across as a refreshing treat after a series of easily forgettable numbers in the album. Watching Shahrukh Khan and Sushmita relive the moments of 'Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai' (Om Shanti Om) in the song is definitely going to be a visual treat.

'Shiri Farhad' is indisputably a song to vouch for. This peppy number clearly indicates the presence of Pritam's music in it. Neeraj Sridhar has yet again proved his versatility and has gone one step ahead with this song, which has the potential to become one of the popular songs in the coming days.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive").
