I am a person of eclectic tastes. I have a decent sense of humor. For the rest of me, read my reviews. You will find a little of me in each of them. Reading, movies, music, anything on the planet that has enough romance and song in it to catch my interest.

Himesh's songs are good time pass but only a handful of them have meaningful lyrics and most of the tunes are repititive. If only Himesh could slow down a little and seriously work on his tunes and with good lyricists, people would speak of him really well. It doesn't help matters when you sw read more...

In case you did ntot know PC is hardware and MS Office is software. Only a fool would assume that the cost of PC includes all the software installed on it. If someone comes home and asks the cost of my PC, I am not going to add the cost of all the software on my machine and tell him. Grow up!
Commented on ramthi's review
You may admire your idol but that does not mean that others should not be allowed to differ. No person is perfect and fans rarely tend to look at the negative side of their idols. By pooh-poohing critics, you are only lowering the standards of your review.
Commented on shonaparra's review
You have a great writing style. A little more effort and formatting and you should be one of the best reviewers around here! 'Every boy's wet dream come true!' ROFL!

There is a separate section for commenting about Lataji, the singer. Your review is decent but under the wrong heading.

I did not want to see this movie despite all the hype and going by the n number of reviews advising against it, I guess I will catch up with this on a CD on a rainy day.

Guys, thank you all for commenting. I am sure everyone will have their own take on the album but like Rahul says, we will have to wait a few more years to talk about it in the right perspective. Gia, I give this a three because I think that Anu's music is great and there may be the lesser discer read more...
I have to admit that I don't read as many reviews on mouthshut as I used to and it is a pleasant surprise to see such wonderful reviews. Will come back for more later.
I did not like Gulzar's lyrics in Jaan e man too for that matter. However, if I had to have it my way, it would have been a combination of urdu poets like Nida Fazli, Shahryar etc...and the music composed by Jagjit Singh. Shreya Ghoshal, Richa Sharma, and even Sadhana Sargam would top my list for th read more...
Commented on sureshmehcnit's review
It is difficult for me to review any album that is a remake especially when the originals have been classics themselves. Mujras and Ghazals top the list of songs that I listen to and so, I cannot help but compare Anu's Umrao Jaan against the best. Again, as I said in my review, Anu does put in a sin read more...
Well, when I talk of the Dhoom generation, I am speaking for the majority in gennext who have never heard the classics. Like you, I have never thought much of the previous Don. I did not like the previous Umrao Jaan as a movie all that much but the music was unbeatable. I am not for remakes j read more...
However, I still feel that for the Dhoom generation, which has never experienced melodies like Paakezah and Mughal e azam, this might be some beginning. That is why I reccoed the album. Personally, I don't think I am going to revisit the album anytime soon.
