Veer-Zaara - Music with a difference

Veer-Zaara is a Yash Chopra film which is going to be released during Diwali (*ing Sharukh Khan,Preity Zinta,Rani Mukherjee). So What is unique about its music ? The Music for the movie has been composed by the famous music director Late Madan Mohan . It has been almost 30 years since Madan Mohan died. His unused tunes have been preserved and been used in this film (If I am right his son Sanjeev Kohli has recreated the music).Lata has sung almost all the songs.

Hindi film music lovers can never forget the Madan Mohan-Lata classics. Madan Mohan is one of my favourite music directors and hope the new film revives his magic.I remember being besotted by his songs like " Aapki Nazrone Samjha" (Anpadh) , "Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega" (Mera Saaya),"Jo Humne Dastaan (Woh Kaun Thi),"Bhayya Na Dharo"(Dastak),Dil Dhoondtha" (Mausam) , all peerless melodies of Madan Mohan.Unfortnately he never made it big in Bollywood although his songs were hugely popular.

I remember writing a post on him when I was in the US , in one the Usenet Music Newsgroups.One of my treasured possessions used to be an HMV " Golden Collection of Madan Mohan" cassette.Hope the music of Veer-Zaara lives upto the reputation of its illustrious composer .
