One of the most anticipated releases of 2013 is Kapil Sharma’s “I, Me aur Main” starring John Abraham, Chitrangada Singh, and Prachi Desai in the lead. Bollywood loves a “man-child coming of age story” and this time it’s Abraham who has to learn of true love from the many women that he’s upset and taken for granted, through his resourceful neighbour Desai. The music is a mixed bag of tracks from four different music directors, Sachin and Jigar, Falak Shabir, Gaurav Dasgupta, and Raghav Sachar. This makes for an interesting album in comparing the varying styles where the results vary.
Starting off with a remake of the Chalbaaz hit, Naa Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, but to suit the sexy boy of the film and it’s completely addictive. Starting with the iconic melody and launching into the English verses, Sachin and Jigar’s track manages to pep...

Farah Khan unwittingly lets out that she has done Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi for free. "No money has been discussed. No contract has been drawn up. Sanjay and I are just working together because we're friends. He was so encouraging. I was scared to look at myself on the monitor. Sanjay would drag me to see the rushes. In fact, after I saw the full film recently, I rushed to a doctor's clinic for a tummy tuck. I looked so fat! At 3pm, the trial ended. At 4pm, I was at the doctor's clinic. And now when he says I've given a brilliant performance in Shirin Farhad... I feel like one of his heroines, right up there with Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. If it's an acting assignment from Sanjay Bhansali, I don't mind. If he wants me to do Ram Leela I am game.
