No Smoking is the much talked about movie by Anurag Kashyap starring John Abraham, Ranvir Shorey, Ayesha Takia, Joy Fernandes, Paresh Rawal, Bipasha Basu, and Saif Ali Khan. This film is supposedly meant to demote smoking by showing how horrible it is, and the kind of things it can result in. I think it would've been better if they named it something like 'No Drugs' or 'No Cocaine'. Even better 'Addiction Kills'. The film is more about addiction of any kind than it smoking in particular. And the kind of side-effects depicted seem more look those of other hardcore drugs. There's nothing about the ACTUAL harms of smoking in the film. The kind of things that any smoker could look at and say 'that could happen to me'. I don't think any smoker would think they will go as far as John Abraham with smoking. It's rare and extreme. HOWEVER, the intention is to be applauded, and I hope it succeeds in what it aims to do. That's my 2 cents on the movie itself. Please do tell me if you think otherwise. AND after watching the movie, tell us if it convinced you to quit smoking.
Now let's talk about the music. It's composed by Vishal Bharadwaj. with vocals from Adnan Sami, Sukwinder Singh, and Sunidhi Chauhan to name a few. It's not really extraordinary, but still pretty good. I hope you enjoy it.

JAB WE MEET
Jab We Met seems to be pretty well liked already. It's been requested so many times. So here it is. It's a film by Imtiaz Ali and stars Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Dara Singh in major roles. I have no clue what the plot is, neither have I listened to the songs yet. Music of JWM is a collaborative work of Sandesh Shandilya and Prittam. Enjy!

Johnny gadaar
Johnny Gaddaar is a film by director Sriram Raghavan. A the name suggests, it's got to be about crime and deception and everything that comes under GADDAAR. It stars Dharmendra, Neil Mukesh, Rimi Sen and Vinay Pathak.
Vishal & Shekhar have composed the music for JG. I'm upto song 2 (Move Your Body). So far it sounds pretty good. Very high energy with a cool fun vibe. I hope you guys like it. Cheers.

SAAWARIYA
Saawariya is the latest venture by Sanjay Leela Bhansali starring Ranbir Kapoor , Sonam Kapoor , Rani Mukherjee and guest starring Salman Khan. The trailers seem visually great. Even though I didn't like Ranbir Kapoor girly acting, it seems pretty promising. Ranbir (Rishi Kapoor's son) and Sonam (Anil Kapoor's daughter) are very lucky to start their acting careers in such a big movie. Perhaps they should VERY thankful to their dads. Hope to see a lot of good movies from these two in the future.
Music of Saawariya is directed by Monty Sharma, and what a great job he has done. I very much like this album and I hope you do too. Enjoy!

APNE,NAQAAB,SHOOTOUT,CHEENI KUM AnD MaNyMoRe

The music release after Abbas-Mastan and stars Bobby Deol, Akshay Khanna and the model-turned-actress Urvashi Sharma in her debut role. It's a thriller, involving a love triangle, I guess.
Music of Naqaab is composed by Pritam, who has created some great music in the past. Since I am trying to catch up with the latest releases, I haven't had a chance to listen to this album myself. I hope this is good and that you will like it.

Shootout At Lokhandwala (you might already know this) is a film based the true story of the clash between the Mumbhai Police and five members of gang members. The police squad were lead by inspector Khan (Sanjay Dutt) and the gangsters by Maya (Vivek Oberoi). Other actors who have played major roles in this film are Amitabh Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Arbaaz Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Aarti Chhabria, Rohit Roy, Neha Dhupia, Diya Mirza, Amrita Singh and Abhishek Bachchan. Shootout is directed by Apoorva Lakhia. It is quite a good movie. It is not for you, if you are a little weak in heart because there's quite a lot of blood and death. There is one thing I would like to complain about and that is Tusshar playing Buwa's role. It just doesn't seem right; Buwa in reality was one of the coldest killers and Mr. Kapoor doesn't quite portray that. In fact none of the actors playing the gang members have acted up to the reputation of the actual gangsters, turning them into nicer people instead of the ruthless killers that they were. This probably is an intentional effort by the director, but this results in the viewers sympathizing with the gang members. Anyway, it is a very entertaining film, specially for the fans of the gangsta genre.
Contributions have been made multiple composers/directors in the music department including Anand Raj Anand, Mika, Biddu and Strings. The diversity in music direction and style has played quite well for Shootout. I hope you like it.

Music of Apne is composed by the widely love and hated director, Himesh Reshammiya. I'm personally in the 'hate' pole in regards with his music, and voice. It's a typical Himesh album, with a lot of the songs in his own voice. I do think Dekhoon Tujhe To Pyaar Aaye could have been much better if it was sung by someone else. Actually all songs could've been better, but that particular song has potential in my mind. But thanks to Himesh, I don't like it. I hope you are from 'love' end of his fan spectrum and enjoy this album.

Music of Cheeni Kum is composed by Ilayaraja. The whole album has a nice slow feel to it, which is great to see after all the fast paced and loud ones released in the past few months. The title songs is very nice and playful. The other songs are pretty good too. I'm sure you're gonna like this one.
