Ghajini Movie Review – 2 stars
Ghajini is, indubitably, Aamir Khan’s most awaited project till date and he has done a great job in promoting the movie till now, but the trailer didn’t seem to have the excitement which is required for an action film, and if reports are to be believed, it’ll surpass every action movie made till date. But those are just reports, so we can’t trust them much.
We’re here to review the soundtrack of Ghajini, which quite surprisingly released only a month before the release date. Well, I think that’s because Aamir Khan was not sure about the songs because they are not really good. Soundtrack of Ghajini comprises of 6 tracks, 5 originals and with one instrumental. Just like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, A. R. Rahman tried to concentrate on originals rather than remixes.
Here is the song by song review of Ghajini
1. Guzarish
Guzarish, the song which was released in the trailer of the movie as the background score, and also the first song promo to be released from the album, is a soothing experience. Melody of the song is really smooth and simple, A. R. Rahman style, and the lyrics are above average. Sung by Javed Ali, the man behind the hit, Jashn-E-Bahaara, from Jodhaa Akbar, is not a good choice for this song and guest vocals are by Sonu Nigam. If you’ve Sonu Nigam in the song, who is doing more justice to the song just by “humming” then you should give the whole song to Sonu.
I’m not saying song is below standard or something, but the only thing that I’m pointing here is Javed doesn’t feel like a good choice as it doesn’t suit his voice. Sonu Nigam or Roop Kumar Rathod would have done better job. But, overall, Guzarish is an amiable song which can find a little place in your I-pod.
2. Aye Bachchu
I listened to Aye Bachchu a lot of times before writing this and sorry to say, it’s such a cool wannabe song. I’ve no idea how this song would fit in the movie, but I think it’s an item number, going by the lyrics. Well, there is nothing great about Aye Bachchu, lyrics are so ignorant, music is below standard, and Suzzane doesn’t do any favor to the song by pronouncing “bye bye” as “bi bi.”
3. Kaise Mujhe
Kaise Mujhe, another romantic ballad, sung by Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal, is another average love song. Well, I really don’t know what to say, if the lyrics are so wannabe soppy. “Uparwale ko fursat nahi, phir bhi tumhe bana ke vo, meri nazar mein chhad gaya”, or this one “Kaise tum mujhe mil gaye, Kimsat pe aaye na mujhe Yakeen”, please explain this stuff to me. Prasoon Joshi, you got it all wrong this time.
It’s not his fault alone, A R Rahman’s melody is too difficult to sing for Benny while Shreya does a terrific job in the song, and you’ve a sigh of relief when she comes to sing, almost after half of the song is finished. Listen it only for Shreya, and I hope we’ll get an only Shreya version of the song.
There is also an instrumental version of Kaise Mujhe, as the last track of the album.
4. Behka
After Tu Bole Main Bolu, A R Rahman try to do another jazz stuff, although Tu Bole Main Bolu was an instant classic, Behka is a below average affair. Behka is sung by Kartik, and lyrics, I should point it out again, have no sense at all. There is no consistency in the lyrics and you really don’t know what it means unless you listen to it as if your life depends upon it.
I don’t see it as a situational song, so I assume it would be a background song, but that’s not a good choice if you’re trying to show the condition of Aamir’s character in the movie. As film is dark, looks from promotions, it’s really ironic that none of the song has a dark feel.
5. Latoo
Another weird title joining the league of “100 weird song titles from Bollywood”, Latoo is the second best song of the soundtrack. Not a genius work, but if you’ve to go through so many bad songs in a row then anything will appeal to you just for the sake of it. A R Rahman should thank god because he has Shreya, who made this almost dead beat song a worth wile listen.
Honestly, I was really looking forward to the soundtrack, after listening to Guzarish, but I was totally disappointed by the soundtrack. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is one of my favorite albums, and undoubtedly, one of the best works of A R Rahman. But this time, he got it all wrong just like he went wrong with the music of Yuvvraaj. Lack of sales of Yuvvraaj proves my point and I think Ghajini will not perform any better.
Moreover, I don’t see the point of so many songs in a movie like Ghajini, which is a remake of Hollywood classic, Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan, the man behind the master piece, The Dark Knight. I don’t understand why they’re focusing on so much romance while the movie is itself an action film. I’ve not seen the Tamil Version of Ghajini, so I don’t know what to expect from this. Sold for 93 crores, Ghajini is a very costly affair for the distributors, and as I already said previously, if the music of the movie is good then half of the battle is won, which is not in the case of Ghajini.
Verdict
Ghajini is another average Bollywood album with only 2 amiable songs which you can listen to again and again. After disappointing Yuvvraaj, A R Rahman gives another prosaic album. People say that it takes a lot of listens to like Rahman’s album and I agree with them, but you can listen to this as many times you want, it won’t change your opinion. Ghajini is only for A R Rahman fans and for others, there is always something else in the store.
Rating – 
Cast – Aamir Khan, Asin Thottumkal, Jiah Khan
Music Director – A. R. Rahman
Movie Director – A. R. Murugadoss

[digg=http://digg.com/music/Ghajini_Music_Review]
I’ll review, if people start listening to fanatics like you then nothing will happen in this world. Album is average, accept it and move on. I don’t care if it grows or not, we give equal amount of time to each album. Get a life please
In my comments I have put forward many questions to the one who has written this review. Have you answered the single question?
“THIS SHOWS YOUR MOUTH IS ALREADY SHUT”
First thing, there is no difference between a terrorist and you. Wanna know why? Both of u are fanatics. Both of u can’t listen anything against your fanaticism. Improve your attitude.
“Just tell me name of any other music director who has worked from period films to new gener. the point is whether their music touched the heart or not?
Just for example Five films on Shaheed Bhagat Singh released almost at the same time. But whose music lasts forever? Whose music won the award? & whose music you still remember. i think you have got the answer by now.”
I’m not saying AR Rahman is not good, I’m saying this album is not good. Can’t you comprehend this? Or is your brain is not developed enough?
“See the storyline. Every film is different. JA is a period film, Jaane tu is new gener, Yuvraaj full of music & Ghajini a dark story.”
Do you find any dark music in the album of Ghajini? Tell me one song and I’ll delete my review.
” You are not listening to yash chopra songs where you will find mehndi, sindhur, maang, kudiya, Mundiya,mahive, kajal, julf, payal, noor like words. i think you have not crossed boundry of these words. you are still in sarso da saag & makke di roti.”
What does sindhur, maang has to do with the music? These are lyrics and not music. And you saying that prasoon did a wonderful job with the lyrics clearly shows that you’ve never heard good lyrics in your life.
“Just show me any other composition similar to this i will give you 1000 Rs.”
Teri Ore (Singh is Kinng) and Tere Naina (CC2C) are much better than Kaise Mujhe. Period.
“Want to experiment?- Listen this song in dark room with closed door & at volume to surpass roadside voices (ideally in the night after 11 or 12 clock. ). I think AR’s music will force you to rewrite this review.”
No, thank you. I don’t listen to songs like that of other producers. I give equal judgement.
“Rahman has given her a chance for Barso re megha from Guru after almost three years she came in the industry. Just ask shreya, what she feels about this song & AR. Your mouth will be shut forever.”
Rahman should thank Shreya for making that song beautiful. If it hadn’t been for Shreya, the song would have flopped badly. And my mouth will never shut.
“You call Ghajini’s songs average, below standard. Can you tell me what kind of music training you have taken? or any other course you have done? I think your mouth is shut by now.”
No, it’s not
the way you replied shows there is female inside you which always want to do bla bla & bla.
you call me fanatic since i have not appreciated your review rather denied it. The same thing i can say about you. You also stick on to what you are saying. so you are a TERRORIST, dont you?……
You gave example of Teri ore…. i appreciate the song as it is really beautiful. But when i see the music arrangement its like Pehli Nazar mein from RACE which is again taken from some other song…. this shows how much your knowledge is. I accept the fact the song is really very good & its one of my favorite. but then questions come of originality. You are not making any sense by giving this example
I THINK, YOUR BRAIN IS NOT DEVELOPED WELL. YOU ARE IMMATURE & PATHETIC
have i said that this music is dark. YOU MORON , i was talking about the story
I have not said anything good about the lyrics, YOU FOOL, i just said its fine.
Atleast read properly or should i send you to nursery?
“I give equal judgement.” – I will not argue on the music of Rab ne….. since i have not listened the songs yet. So you are escaped.
Latto if it would have been sung by Alka yagnik it would have sound beautiful. Rather this shows that Rahman is so much perfect while choosing the singer. AND FOR GOD SAKE REMEMBER THIS THAT compositions are made by Rahman & Shreya has sung under his guidence. Shreya has not done any favor on Rahman Neither he did. Just by adding unnecessary comment you are putting your leg into mud.
YOUR REVIEW IS NOT JUSTIFIED. even if i reviewed the song in very short i explained rightly what was the song about & what i liked in it
SEE YOUR CHEAP REVIEW. ITS IMMAURE. NOT GIVING ANY JUSTIFICATION. ITS YOUR NARROW MIND THAT HAS SHOWN HERE
Still there are many questions which are unanswered. COME ON BABY. Argue on that also. COME ON
MY FINAL VERDICT: You & your review GO TO HELL !!!
“i appreciate the song as it is really beautiful. But when i see the music arrangement its like Pehli Nazar mein from RACE which is again taken from some other song….”
Lol nice nice. Didn’t you hear the Rajhistani touch in the song? Or was it in Pehli Nazar too? God! Teri Ore is 100% original. And speaking of originality, starting of Ghajini has been copied from a song of Duran Duran. Check out Filmikhabar.com for further reference. or watch the video here
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=GWlv-ecVrj8&feature=related
“I THINK, YOUR BRAIN IS NOT DEVELOPED WELL. YOU ARE IMMATURE & PATHETIC
have i said that this music is dark. YOU MORON , i was talking about the story”
Your point was Rahman has given music for a dark film and I said not even song is dark, so that doesn’t justify your statement. That’s like saying that “I went to see IIT but didn’t get admission.” Where did he show his talent in the dark theme of the movie? Got my point, doc?
“SAKE REMEMBER THIS THAT compositions are made by Rahman & Shreya has sung under his guidence.”
But it’s the singer who makes the song beautiful. Got my point?
“you call me fanatic since i have not appreciated your review rather denied it. The same thing i can say about you. You also stick on to what you are saying. so you are a TERRORIST, dont you?……”
Do you even know what a fanatic means? Jesus!
“MY FINAL VERDICT: You & your review GO TO HELL !!!”
You were the one who came here, I didn’t ask you to!
From where on this earth the reviewer has come. Rating 5 for Rab ne bana de jodi and 2 for Gajini ! Man just one question . Forget about hearing ARR music again and again. Did you ever listen to the music atleast once before writing this review?
No spell check here……………….
Ofcourse I’ve listened, I’m still listening to it. I don’t have anything against ARR. You know what? I think ARR must be a man enough to accept criticism but you people are just cowards.
feeling pity on the reviewer he is fighting alone………………….thats the power of ARR…………..he is the only musician of india who can win the oscars…………he even mominated for the Golden Globe awards for the most original score…………….so it is shocking that music reviewer is not a fan of ARR…………….n just read the screen magazine n see which is bestselling album this week…..
okay . I am not a fan of ARR as a person to defend for him. I am a fan of good music. I don’t know anything about lyrics. If you find fault with lyrics, don’t blame the music for it.I believe music is beyond language and good music will pull people from all regions. Guzarish, Kaise Mujhe , Behka takes me to a different world.
btw, if you can call someone coward just for the fact they don’t accept your review comments, I am bemused to think what you would call yourself who cant accept people voice .
Neither you nor we deserve to be an arbiter to give verdict on ARR music. We accept that your taste and expectation is different from the majority but what baffles me is 5 for Rabne and 2 for Gajini for which I don’t see any vindication given by you in the review.
Note that I am a big fan of SRK .
@above
Dont call reviewer coward………………coz he is fighting alone against all the odds………..shame shame……….
Hello Reviewer,,
Why have u erase my comment????
If anybody opposes ur view. i hope u will do the same thing[erasing comments].
Rahman simply rocks yuvvraaj, Ghajini.
though ghajini’s songs are inspired.
I am the 1st person who break that news out.

Well,
I’m deleting every comment which is not polite. I want to keep posts and comments clean. It’s fine with me if someone doesn’t like my review, but try to be polite.

Stop cribbing about rahman, also please do not compare him with all choota bachu. [haarish and so on].
go to the above mentioned link and make yourself realized about Indian who is rocking the world.
wth.. crappest review ive ever seen in my life.. i bet u have no sense of music.. u always look at negative and not positives..
well, well…… ARR rocks!! and im sure everyone will like the songs once they watch the movies…… it happened with me many times!!
oh my…. i didnt see that RBDJ got 5 points!! well, i didnt listen to it but im sure…. Ghajani songs are far better than those…….
as some one said…. ghajani is not totally a dark movie…. it got 2 opposite contrast stories……. story of smart good looking business man falling in love with simple girl (which colorful and eye candy) and the other part of the story is of a man who takes revenge on killers of his love (which is dark and lots of action)…….. so, its not totally a dark movie…….
To be honest, I was “very” disappointed with the songs when I heard it first but now, I am just overwhelmed with “Kaise Mujhe” – I cannot imagine pathos being defined in such a different manner. I would AR Rahman to experiment further because only he can and yet come up with some very stimulating scores. My pick is “KJaise Mujhe”. Although “Guzarish” is good to listen, it felt like just another song from the bandwagon and nothing special. Every other song has a distinction, including the “Ay Bachchu”…
And… by the way,the picturization of “Kaise Mujhe” (from what I see in the rushes) add to the feel of the score…
That is SUCH a biased review honestly. I would admit the fact that apart from Guzarish (which became my favourite the moment I heard the song), it took me sometime to get used to the other songs and I must say its a beautiful and soulful album. Let me tell you one thing that I’m not die hard fan of Aamir nor Shahrukh so I respect both individuals for their performances but I hardly heard the songs of RNBDJ for like a day or two and I was bored like hell.
Haule Haule was nice but then nothing really special or out of this world. At first when I heard the other songs of Ghajini, I was not that impressed but then I thought come on its A.R. Rahman so I need to give his album a chance and I am so glad I did. I enjoy all the songs very much although Behka is not very much my favourite. I like Guzarish, Kaise Mujhe, Latoo more and Aye Bacho is a fun filled song too.
In fact when I heard Aye Bacho, my nephew and niece were here and we all instantly started dancing on its tune and we had a blast. It was cute, natural and full of joy moment for me and this song surely holds a special memory which I will always cherish whenever I listen to it.
Lastly, I loved Javed’s voice in Guzarish and I found it quite different and at times haunting lifting the song to an altogether new level. The humming part by Sonu was like icing over a cake but I wouldn’t say that it any in manner surpassed Javed’s vocal talent.
One of the most immature reviews, I have ever came across in my life. I just stumbled across this website while I was searching for some news related to the movie and its rare that I comment on other people’s reviews but I just couldn’t stop myself from writing that the website should surely change their reviewer.
Oh and as I won’t be coming to this website again and I read some of the comments of the so called idiot reviewer. He is calling us all fanatics and many other quite rude words so I think I have the right to call him an idiot and I wish I could say more…Learn to respect others when you ask for respect above.
You said if even it is not a good album, Rehman would take it as a man, however why can’t you accept the fact that if you gave a horrendous review then learn to accept criticism and grow up.
Lastly, if you judge how good an album is on the basis of its sales then that shows how shallow you are honestly. Talking about your being shallow, you corrected the spellings of genre above so if you justify and defend yourself by correcting spellings mistake then that shows a lot about your maturity. With all due respect, RNBDJ was quite an average album. You are just a typical SRK and Yash Raj banner fan probably. Mind you, I am least interested on what you have to say about my comments so don’t even bother replying.
helloz,
I am late… Just went through some search engine and saw your site… Dude I agree that Ghajini is not a Classy album as you compare AR Rehman’s previous work. I have seen the tamil version long back and downloaded again just 1 week back. The music in tamil version is superb and was a megahit all around.
Hindi version only “Guzarish” is a decent song. “Behka” and “Kaise Mujhe”… I didnt even liked for the first time. then if u listen it again and again it seems okie but not gr8. But remember one thing that if you listen most of the AR hits, the lyrics are so odd and music was superb. So i think dont go for the lyrics.. just listen the music and you will like it.
Also dont compare Ghajini with Christopher Nolan’s Momento.. That was a classic flick but honestly speaking I didnt liked the film for the first time.
For Yuvraaj’s Music – I think AR did gr8 justice. Also agree that RNBDJ is also have some good music.. Film is also nice and very well paced…
I rate Ghajini Music – 3 out of 5
RNBDJ – 3 and 1/2 out of 5
Yuvraaj 4 out of 5
regards
nair
A R RAHMANs Music is awesome….
Note:Just go through the music sales of yuuvraaj and ghajini…One who says it was not good…THE MUSIC SALES ARE TREMENDOUS-T-SERIES WEBSITE..
Rahmans music rocked the nation again..wow…
tamil version songs are better …..
hindi song version have some mistakes….
that i dnt knw wat r the mis takes but songs have no perfection……
like any other ar rahman songs like boys yuva sathiya etc
Howz the movie now? Has anybody seen it yet?
It is a totally horrible movie. I saw the yesterday’s premier show and think that it is a total waste of money. I don’t know why Amir Khan is called perfectionist, the movie has so much of technical flaws. As an example, Amir is MD of large telecom co with short memory, he is taken over by police who doesn’t know who is the person. Total irritating.
The subject is nevertheless good but dear guys (script writers, directors) why dont you put little more thought in presenting the subject. What was the need for you to show the two female leads as behaving extremely stupid in tough situations.The college student had such good role to play but her act and character was horrendous.
Overall i will not recommend anyone to watch this movie.
If you dont like my review, By next week you will agree when there is real public opinion in press.
I am not SRK fan, i didnt like Rab ne bana di jodi either….
Bye Aamir, better luck next time…..
Everyone has their own taste. No one can stop people buying ARR albums including Ghajini. One who pleases the majority is the clear winner (watever the field is..) and ARR has done it again now..Both tamil version and Hindi version are really good…People who want to experience fresh music go for it..I think everyone has the album..Thats the beauty of ARR. He rocks….
We can have different views and different liking. Understood this review is not for ARR but for the music of a movie. Since it is on a public domain people also do have the right to express their opinion. But a 5 for Rab and 2 for Ghajini is completely crazy!!!!!!! Honestly I think Rab has one of the worst music of a SRK movie and is the movie’s biggest weakness.
And I dont know why there is such a lot of debate on Yuvraaj. The score is magnificent. I also partly agree that ARR should take a break from local movies. After the superlative Slumdog Millionaire score, it’s time that he moves on to Hollywood. At least there he wouldn’t be judged by minnows sucking thumb and dung in their head.This is kind of personal but I feel so is review which is blatantly biased and unfair.
Check out the poll for that. The answer would be right there.
A poor movie in terms of script, I feel the script was poor because you were left with many unanswered questions such as:
1) After reading the (long) diaries, after 15 mins would’t he forget what he has just read.
2) After the main killing incident, what does he actually remember?
3) Why does he remember that he needs to kill Asin’s killer and NOT REMEMBER GHAJANI’s face?
4) Why wasn’t his condition explained properly?
5) Why didn’t Ghajani kill Aamir who was present at the Incident like the way he killed those two girls in the hospital?
Etc
Aamir’s, Asin’s and Ghajani’s acting was 5/5, however a very poor script. Some would argue that you should of used your imagination, I would say the script left many unanswered questions as this would complicate the story hence not to focus too much on his condition.
awesome movie…
had heard a lot bout the original tamil one… i dnt knw much bout d tamil one…
but can surely tke a cue from its hindi counterpart…
simply superb…
romance with thrill… d blend cud never had been so very estatic…
aamir as usual is just too good…
n asin, she’s gorgeous n superb at acting as well… wonderful combination…
good support from jiah…
i SALUTE Murugadoss n A.R.Rehman… music has completely swept people off their feet… specially ‘Kaise Mujhe’ and ‘Guzarish’… n direction with such a blend of 2 opposite genres of romance n thrill… its brilliant…
well… d more i say … more n more just keeps coming out for this flick
u’ll HVE to watch it…
i’ll remember it 4 for some time now…
at least the music wont let me get it off my head… ‘Kaise Mujhe’…
hey all… my personal…i like this film a lot…too good..amir really does well..and the music…mind blowing..am listening kaise tu and guzarish about 10 times everyday…too good the movie and songs…thumbs up!!
guzarish song is superb…rest all craps…expected a much great work frm ARR
Hi newsdose,
http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicreporter/salesfigures.php
Says that the sales figures of Ghajini are rising….
And the poll figures in this page shows that most of the visitors do think that Ghajini is better than RNBDJ.
Any ideas as to why is this happening…?
Well … I would have agreed with this review that the music is just “OK”. But, I then saw your music review of Rab ne …. There is no way in hell that any one who gave such high reviews to Rab ne can be taken seriously as a music critic …. Rab ne had just one good song … background music was so bad ….
clearly Rab ne is 2/5 soundtrack ….. Ghajini is probably 3/5 soundtrack (I hated the two fast numbers Latoo and Aye Bachoo … very un-Rahman like) .. If you see the movie, you will understand some of the soapy lyrics in “Kaise Mujhe” … you need to see it in context.
Background music was just excellent in Ghajini.
Hey Ani,
First of all thanks for the link. As you can see, Rab Ne is still at the top, and it is good because soundtrack was released almost a month before Ghajini’s audio. If Ghajini was good then it should have taken over it long time ago.
And as for the voting, many people are fans of Rahman. But the thing which you missed out is the large number of votes against Rahman. This is a surprise because Rahman’s music always has an universal appeal.
And if you check out the % in both the polls (ghajni and rab ne music review), 78% people liked Ghajini’s soundtrack and 79% people liked Rab ne’s soundtrack. So, if you take all this into account, Rab Ne is doing better.
Moreover, Rab Ne is the most pirated album on desi torrent sites. So that explains the popularity of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Yes dear, but if you check the tab for Planet M in the link, you will see that Ghajini is doing better than RNBDJ…. I wonder why it is different for Planet M and Rhythm House…..
Anyway, looking forward for more reviews from you….
Yup, so I think, technically, it cancels out each other lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting.
Hi Newsdose,
Great! … now I have to call BS on you. If all the review is about is to give a glorified version of the sales, then we can just look at the music charts, right? There are trade-buzz people (e.g. Taran Adarsh is the best in India) who can do it better.
If you want to be a good “music reviewer” you need to do better than that …. you are not supposed to be just a music chart predictor (although that is one part of it) …. If that is your metric, then you have failed already …. People read music reviews to get a different perspective. A good music reviewer should cater to a set of people who have a more nuanced view of music. (E.g. like Roger Ebert for Movie reviews in US).
Take this as a constructive criticism from some one with experience.
Those sales figures are only for those who say that Ghajini is doing better than Rab Ne, without any proper reason to backup their statement. I’m just showing them some facts.
There are many albums who might have not done as same business as of Singh is Kinng, like Rock On.
ARR is a maestro..surely a person like him cannot giv average music…in the case of ghajini d bgm as well as the music is very good..i do not understand why your review downgrades the music so much..true ARR’s music takes time to grow..but i was impressed on hearing it 4 the 1st time itself ! with each album ARR gives u sumthing new and special…all i can say is – if music is my religion, ARR is god !
OK, looks like I was a bit jumpy after your rating on Rab Ne
….I guess we will have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I still think Rab Ne is only a mediocre 2/5 album … not a 5 star one. Ghajini could be a 2/5 as you rated or could be a 3/5 …
A disappointing musical end of the year (CCtoC is very mediocre as well), after great soundtracks such as Rock On, Jaane Tu. Even a pedestian movie like Tashan had a cracking track.
Newsdose,
I am interested to comment on this blog as this has turned into battleground for AR Rehman fans who has gone to extremes with their language ( and even swearings ! ) to prove their point.That is ofourse so common now on internet discussion boards now a days.
I am a huge Rahman fan too but will also agree that this is not his best album..Infact not as great as some of his earlier albums were.
There was a time when I would swear by anything this man would churn out …and would grab the first copy of his albums.
Even his tamil numbers were such a pleasure to hear even though I did not understand a word.
But as with many other greats its not always possible to be consistent throughout.
Come on guys …the reviewer here is not trashing Rahman’s abilities…its just one of his albums.Why can’t we be ready to hear some negatives..after all no one is perfect.Rahman is great ..we all agree..but comments like ‘ he is god ‘ and ‘ he can’t ever go wrong ‘ are overexaggerated in their own sense.
In India we idolise our movie stars,cricketers and music directors…but that does not mean each and every person in India should only praise someone.Criticism is healthy and this guy has a right to comment if he is not as flattered with a product even if everyone else is.
I too believe that Ghajini is an ordinary work for someone of Rahman’s calibre.
Seriously, I am causing no harm in saying you have no music sense. Yea, thats for real
Behka – “sounds like jazz”? what the f?
Aye bachu – “Trying to be cool” ? seriously theres something wrong with you
Why dont you go listen to your fav himesh or pritams songs..matey.
ARR Rocks. No body in the industry now can make a song like behka..
Golden Globe for musical god………………………shame on the reviewer…….
What are you all talking about??? My mother tongue is not Hindi, but this album is beckoned me to listen to HINDI songs…and i am proud i did…simply magical..all the songs…just fantastic…amazing!
ARR recently bagged the golden globe award going against clint eastwood..so do your homework ppl…he is a musical genius a God send…no doubt….LONG LIVE RAHMAN…the best India has produced and proud also to say he 100% tamilan…
Thats the power of Rahman. Ghajini’s music rocked and guzarish is a clear winner over haule haule….
Rahman U ROCK..!!
STOP REVIEWING U LOSER>THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDTRACK OF THE YEAR>
FIND ANOTHER JOB U MORON
Hi newsdose….
Although I cannot agree with you on your RBDJ rating, I have to say that Ghajini is not ARR’s greatest work… May be after 6 or 9 months or so, when this hype is over, if we go back to listen some ARR songs, we might skip Ghajini for Jodhaa Akbar or JTYJN… When is the review for Slumdog millionaire coming???
@Ani
Review of the movie and the music will be combined and will be posted on 23rd Jan. It is 5 stars, btw.
