Lyrics: Gulzaar

Starring: Shahrukh, Katrina and Anushka

What comes in your mind if I say, AR Rehman or Gulzaar sb. If U are an artist or if ur aesthetic sense is up to the mark, just one word... GREATS. They need no introduction and rightly so. Their earlier works in their respective areas have already established them. Gulzaar sb is not only a great lyricist but also without any doubt, the best poet of today’s era and same goes for AR Rehman, the best musician..... I would love to call him a magician. Attach the names of Shahrukh Khan and Yash Chopra, and U might think what else is remaining to complete the list of legends.......

Here comes the much awaited sound track of the year. Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which is apparently the last directorial venture of Yash Chopra. Dont talk about expectations here as they are already kissing the skies. AR Rehman and Gulzaar have given us some unforgettable sound tracks. To name a few, Bombay, Dil Se, Guru, Raavan, Roja, Yuva and the list goes on. So what does JTHJ has in it for U. Believe me, its a bunch of some real melodious tunes and writings.

Starting off with the Challa, which is already a rage. Rabbi Shergil and Shahrukh Khan. U might think its a real unique combo but wait, its an affair of its sort. Challa, to me, is the celebration of the pain. Somewhere I was recalling Banjar Hai (from Saathiya), however its an out and out very different. And needless to say, SRK is a darling. Acoustic guitars are doing all what is needed to make it a chartbuster. One sound track that remains forever in your mind even after years.

Well U are not over with the euphoria of Challa, when another beautiful tune starts mesmarizing you. Saans has written Gulzaar sb all over it. Just like he penned Bekaran for Bharadwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf, saans is simply out of this world. Shreya has done it once again. Sweet and passionate voice. One can only imagine, what SRK's presence in the song will do....... Oh, its going to be a lethal.

Ishq Shava is a high octane number, which one loves to listen in the car with the beats going on.

Heer is a ver nice number. AR Rehman has beautifully captured the strength of Harshdeep's voice.

Jiya Re is Maya Maya (Guru) and Dhunki (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan) of JTHJ. It will surely bring some whistles from the front benchers in the cinema, if Anushka delivers some awesome dance steps in this number.

Is there any need to describe title track of JTHJ. NO, simply note. They gave us Dil Ka Rishta (Yuvraaj) and somewhat same genre of music is explored yet again. It’s an awesome experience. Another hit, written all over it.

Saans Reprise and Ishq Dance are nice additions in the album.

Album concludes with what I call a treat for all the SRK's fan. Enough of the filmy lyrics till now. Its time for Aditya Chopra to pen some very beautiful Urdu poetry, this Nazm is a treat. What makes it more special is the husky voice of Super Star SRK.

Overall, this album is a winner of all sorts. Now really can’t wait for the film of the year (may be decade) to come and entertain us. It would be an experience of its own sort.
