Director Abbas Tyrewala reunited with music maestro A.R. Rahman for his forthcoming film Jhootha Hi Sahi to repeat the musical success of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na and the music maestro has composed a beautiful track in the guise of "Do Nishaniyan". The rest of the album has hits and misses, but it's worth listening to once.
The film, a home production of Saregama, has nine songs.
To begin with, the album offers "Cry cry" crooned by Rashid Ali and Shreya Ghoshal, which is occupying airwaves and broadcasting time currently. The song is different owing to the lyrics and the interesting composition. It is zippy and exudes freshness.
Next in line is "Maiya yashoda" that is doing the rounds of TV channels. It has two versions - one is the Jamuna mix with Chinmayi and Javed Ali and the Thames mix by the same singers. The song has a complete Indian flavour and is quite upbeat.
The Thames mix is quite similar, just that more electronic beats are added to this one.
Then there is Karthik singing "Hello", a song that totally revolves around the telephone. It's more of a situation number and even the dialing tone is used in the composition. Not hummable but worth a listen.
Then comes the best song of the album "Do Nishaniyan" with Sonu Niigaam behind the mike. The track has a poignant beginning and Sonu's silken voice is perfect for this slow-paced rendition. The orchestration is subtle and enjoyable. One of Rahman's great tracks that shows his prowess of being different.
The track also has a reprise version, sung by the same singer. The version is just a little slower and has more depth, but both the songs are equally interesting.
Next Shreya goes behind the mike yet again for "Pam para", a foot-tapping and high-on-energy track. It's neither bad nor brilliant.
"Call me dil" starts with a beautiful acoustic piece that gives it an edge. Rashid Ali does a great job with the vocals. The song is quite melodious and grows on you when you keep listening to it in loop. The soft track manages to create its mark.
Finally, there is a half-English half-Hindi song "I've been waiting", crooned by Vijay Yesdus. The song oozes softness and creates a balmy effect on the listener. A wonderful composition.
On the whole, Rahman has yet again created an album that has a mix of various genres and keeps the listeners' interest intact.

SHREYA,S REFERENCES...
Singing in other languages isn't a big deal for Shreya Ghoshal, whose mother tongue is Bengali.
"Singing in Hindi is nice, but restrictive. Regional languages are more rhythmic, have a different tone and sound, making it more interesting," says Shreya, who's excited about her songs in Pancha Rangi, Endhiran and Anwar.
And while music continues to be the singer's primary passion, it is unlikely that she will put together an album of her own songs. "The Indian music market is very film-oriented, and any other creative music venture doesn't receive enough support. I'd rather do singles and put them on my website," she remarks.

GHOSHAL MESERISES NEW ZEALAND!!!
Reader Perdy Mohindru from Auckland, New Zealand [ Images ], sent us this article and picture of Shreya Ghoshal [ Images ]'s concert in New Zealand recently. Feel free to mail us your write-ups, videos and photographs tomoviesdesk@rediff.co.in
Shreya captured the hearts of New Zealanders with her awesome melodious performance at the packed Telstra Pacific events centre, Auckland, on August 20.
Her voice was a musical treat that quickly struck a chord with the large Indian and Fijian community settled there, and revived nostalgic memories of their homeland.
The evening kicked off with Shreya's soulful rendition of Tujh Me Rab Dikhta Hai followed by the peppy track Bahaara from the film, I Hate Luv Storys [ Images ].
Thunderous applause greeted the rendition ofJaadu Hai Nasha Hai (Jism [ Images ]).
But the track that really touched the hearts of the crowd was the very romantic Teri Ore (Singh is Kinng [ Images ]). One can still remember how beautifully this song was picturised on Katrina Kaif [ Images ] and Akshay Kumar [ Images ].
One would have liked her to sing more of the very catchy Tu Bas De De Mera Saath (Gangster [Images ]) while Pal Har Pal (Parineeta [ Images ]) was rendered perfectly. The audience really lapped it up.
But the song that really got the crowd on their feet was the very vibrant and peppy Ye Ishq Haayefrom the Kareena Kapoor [ Images ] starrer Jab We Met [ Images ], and Bairi Piya and Dola Re Dolafrom Devdas.
Post break, Shreya lit the stage with Barso Re Megha (Guru). Aucklanders enjoyed that, as the showers were already in full swing.
Zoobi Doobi from the blockbuster 3 Idiots really got the crowd going. Once again Shreya's vocals were mindblowing. I especially enjoyed the small additions to the song.
She followed it up with the very simple and sweet yet exuberant track, Hum to Aise He Bhaiya (Laga Chunari Mein Daag). The audience liked the rendition ofDhum Tana (Om Shanti Om [ Images ]) while the teenagers loved her flawless rendition of the very sexy track Jaagi Jaagi Soyi Na Me Saari Raat (Prince).
Shreya did a medley of catchy songs starting with Tera Mera Milna, Bring It On, Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha and Om Shanti Om. The youth in the galleries loved the song All Cool Boyz.
Shreya soon switched gears by singing the very romantic yet mystical number Bepanah Pyaar He from Krishna Cottage and a Marathi song.
In the last segment of the show, she paid tribute to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar [ Images ] by singing Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikva Nahin from the superhit movie Aandhi.One could see a lot of older people getting nostalgic with this one. She introduced all her musicians and then ended the musical night with Dola Re and Ye Ishq Haiye.
All in all, it was a superb show organised by ABC Entertainment and Perfect Harmony Productions. Shreya captivated the music-loving fraternity of New Zealand with her melodious, flawless and extremely soothing vocal renditions.
The magical web that she cast on the audience kept them entranced for almost four hours.

shreya did it again!!!-this time in auckland:-)
If her honeyed, silken voice mesmerised the choc-a-bloc audience leaving it asking for more at the end of her four-hour power-packed performance, it was Shreya Ghoshal’s endearingly straight-from-the-heart, down-to-earth manner of connecting with her fans that had her walk right into their hearts on Friday night.
The seven times national award winner and Bollywood’s most sought after female voice gave Kiwi Indians the kind of performance that will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time to come.
She established a connection with the audience from the word go with her candid natter that included generous praise for New Zealand, Kiwis and of course Kiwi Indians and carried her fans all along with her no-nonsense, girl-next-door demeanour to the very end; cajoling, coaxing and prodding them to sing with her - which they did with great enthusiasm.
She reeled off her repertoire with great energy and vigour accompanied by a talented set of musicians from India and the award winning, refreshingly youthful voice of Shivprasad Mallya. From the alluring “Teri Ore”, through the pining “Tujh mein rab dikhta hai”, the heady “Jaadu hai nashaa hai” to the peppy “Bahaara” and the foot-tapping number from “Jab we met” (of which she gave an encore), Shreya enveloped the audience in the range of moods her songs portrayed.
Post-interval, Shreya continued with such favourites as “Pal har pal”, “Barso re megha”, “Zoobi doobi”, “Hum to aise hain bhaiyya” and many more. She sang a personal favourite from the 1970s film Aandhi “tere bina zindagi se koi” and later took on requests pleasing almost every section of the audience with songs in her native Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi and Punjabi. The immortal Marathi song “Reshamachya dhagyani” had the audience in raptures to the beat of talented percussionist Uday Parab’s dholak.
Shreya kept the audience on its toes with rapid-fire medleys, though many must have hoped she had sung each of the numbers fully. She rounded off the spectacular night with her legendary “Dola re” from Devdas, her debut song that catapulted her on to the major league bringing her the first of a string of accolades at the very beginning of her singing career.
Nitin Bhandarkar’s fine stand up comedy performance provided excellent relief before the break. His impersonation of yesteryear stars like Amol Palekar, Dev Anand and Manoj Kumar were perfect while Sanjay Dutt, Nana Patekar and Kishore Kumar had the audience in absolute splits.
The ABC Entertainment and Harmony Productions organised event presented by Indian Weekender and Uttam Fresh & Clean was managed brilliantly by Cultural Forum of India’s Ram Iyer. Unlike a recent concert that was ridden by unruly scenes at the start of the concert because of faulty ticketing that needed police intervention, Shreya’s concert went off like a dream, with the audience lapping up every moment of her magical performance.
Small wonder that the audience wanted more of it with many voicing their wish that Shreya return soon for an encore.

Shreya Ghoshal returns to Singapore to kick-start her latest concert tour
SINGAPORE: She's touted to be one of Bollywood's most awarded playback singers in recent times.
And now, Shreya Ghoshal is back in Singapore to kick-start her latest concert tour.
The singer shot to fame in her teenage years, after being talent spotted to be playback singer for Bollywood star, Aishwarya Rai in the blockbuster hit - Devdas.
The song from the film launched her career as she received both the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer and the Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent.
"I was actually a student at that time doing exams, so I was like taking my books and everything and in the studios. And I was a part of the whole process throughout, so I would sit in a corner, and do my studies, whenever I was called, I would be rehearsing, it was such fun," Shreya recalled.
Since then, the 26-year old has worked in more than 140 films.
Besides Hindi, she also sings in Malayalam and Tamil - just to name a few.
And Shreya admits it can be quite tough at times.
"Let me give you all a secret, I sometimes forget my own lyrics, even on the stage I blank out, and I just make out my own lyrics and nobody knows. Very confidently I make up for all the goof-ups I make," she revealed.
Many regard her as the next Lata Mangeshkar - a famous playback singer.
Though Shreya has been touted as a rising youth icon in India, it wasn't easy for her to step into the limelight.
"I was a little apprehensive of coming into performances. I don't think even when Devdas was even released, even after that I was convinced by so many people but I could not just say yes, because I was not too confident about that.
"I thought that I had to have a little more repertoire of songs, to come on stage and perform so I gave almost one year of thought and convincing myself that now I should give my first performance.
"For acting stints, I have been approached, but I am totally scared of it, and I can't act, I know that for sure," she said.
Shreya will perform on Sunday, August 15, at the University Cultural Centre. - CNA/fa
