Whatever Shahrukh Khan does is news. This time around, Shahrukh Khan launches his Kolkata Knightriders theme songs album ‘2 Hot 2 cool’ in association with Nokia. ‘Karbo, larbo, jeetbo’ number by Vishal-Shekar is already a hit, and now this album consists tracks by Bappi Lahri, Pritam and Vishal-Shekar. It does not end here, because Shahrukh Khan himself has sung one song in the album which is composed by Bappi Lahri. Bappi Lahri says that SRK is India’s Michael Jackon. I don’t know what he means by that. The first IPL game between SRK’s Kolkata Knightriders and Vijay Malaya’s Royal Challengers will take place today, so get glued to your television as Saurav Ganguly will take on Rahul Dravid.  And….. SRK is the 12^th man.

I always thought that Anu Malik is the king in ripping tunes from other languages, but our happening music composer, Pritam, proves me wrong and overtakes Anu in every possible way.

Movie Title: Race

Music Director : Pritam Chakraborthy

Lyricist : Sameer

Cast : Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor & Sameera Reddy

Director : Abbas Burmawalla & Mustan Burmawalla
Producer : Kumar S Taurani & Ramesh S Taurani

There is no need for me to tell you that this is a BIG film. I have considered Abbas-Mustan one of the better directors in Bollywood who also have a great ear for music. Their last movie Naqaab was disappointing movie and music wise but there is no reason for this talented duo not to get back on track with Race. And with a star cast of Saif Khan, Akshay Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Bipasha Basu, this film looks very promising.

If you have been listening to the new songs these days you will notice that Anand Raj Anand is singing quite a few of them. He was requested by Pritam to sing the song Billo Raani from Goal. He has done a music videoHimesh Reshammiya style in the Bhula Diya song from Dus Kahaniyaan. And he also sang 2 songs in Welcome along with composing them.

Anand Raj Anand has been in the industry for quite a while but has never received any recognition despite making good tunes throughout his career. So will this be a turning point for him? Will he be the new super star musician?

We don’t think so!
