This song by Lata Mangeshkar from the movie Mera Saaya is one of my all time favorites. This song defines evergreen, definitely a classy number. The movie Mera saaya has a lot of beautiful songs but this one tops the list, at least for me :-) Music for this movie is by Madan Mohan. Enjoy:-)

This is a movie that I remember having seen when it was first released but do not remember it making any kind of impression on me. Recently when I came across this movie again I decided to give it another try. This movie stars Rekha (Sarita), Arjun Rampal (Dev), Preity Zinta (Shalu) and Mahima Chaudhary (Nimmi). The movie is about Shalu who from childhood feels slighted by her mother Sarita and

This was one of those movies that I started to watch with no idea of any background nor had I watched any promos or heard any songs,as a result this movie was something that I went in with no expectations either way.Yuvraaj comes from the Subhash Ghai stable of movies and has been produced, directed and written by Subhash Ghai.

I got a chance this past weekend to see the Producers Guild Apsara Awards. This is the first time I have had a chance to see this particular award show and I understand these awards are being given by the producers and other members of the film industry, so it is a little different from the other awards that are normally given by different media like Filmfare, Screen India etc.The show was okay

Bollywood has some traditions,one of them being that whenever new actors need to be launched most likely they will get launched in a story about young romance.Case in point movies like Bobby, Maine Pyaar Kiya and Qayamat se qayamat tak which launched Rishi Kapoor, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan respectively.This tradition is continued with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na made to launch Aamir's nephew Imraan

After the dazzling success of the music of Jab we Met by music director Pritam, the bar was set higher for the music of Kismet Konnection.The music of this movie can be simply summed up as a let down.There are some hummable tunes no doubt and definitely the song " Is this love-Kahin na laage" by Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal will probably linger and has to be the most melodius number from this

The music of Jaane tu ya Jaane na is by music director A R Rehman. As is normally the case any movie with music from this talented music director causes high expectations. The tunes in this film are young sounding and fresh in keeping with the spirit of the movie.The best song of the album is definitely Kahin to Hogi woh sung by Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das which flows melodiously and will
