noticed Rahman’s name appearing as the music director. We thought that the Ghajini album was the one getting ready for release, but Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa, due to its deliberate low profile has been a well-kept secret, at least down South.

For those of you who are still wondering what Aamir Khan has to do with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa, it is his third home production and stars Imran Khan, his nephew. Reports are that Aamir Khan has been paying his customary ‘down to the last detail’ attention to all the aspects of the movie. He brought back the producer of his debut movie (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak) to helm the affairs of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, chose a story that, if reports are to be believed, has a lot in common with the cute love story that Aamir Khan’s debut was and then got Rahman to do the music.

With so much planning going into the movie, the music launch was expected to be a big affair. But Aamir Khan smashed all predictions and went for a down to earth launch at the residence of veteran actor Shammi Kapoor, who is also a very old family friend. And the icing on the cake is that the album has received excellent reviews on its first day on stands, some calling it the best of 2008 thus far- which means that it is also better than Jodha Akbar (which is saying something). So, if you have already heard the bits and pieces on TV, then we need not tell you any more, get the songs right away. If not, then trust us, this album has to be heard. After all it’s Rahman.
