<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> When a film is set as a high school musical, expectations are obviously there for a youthful and vibrant score in the offering. Vishal-Shekhar return from Student of the Year to the second instalment of the franchise and this time around they have multiple lyricists for company. Considering the fact that the mantle of direction has moved on from Karan Johar to Punit Malhotra, one waits to see how the soundtrack turns out to be. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973392" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mumbai-Dilli-Di-Kudiyaan-Student-Of-The-Year-2-Tiger-Shroff-Tara-Sutaria-Ananya-Pandey.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is the recreated version of 70s chartbuster <em>'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'</em> which has been presented as <strong><em>'The Jawaani Song'</em></strong>. While the combo of R.D. Burman, Anand Bakshi and Kishore Kumar had created magic back then, the new team of Vishal-Shekhar, Anvita Dutt and Vishal Dadlani-Payal Dev chip in well to amalgamate the original with the new version. This one is an experiment on the same lines as Vishal-Shekhar's <em>'Bachna Ae Haseeno'</em> where both new as well as old world had integrated quite seamlessly. The one that actually turns out to be the best song of the album though is <strong><em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em></strong>. Vishal Dadlani chips in with his rap portion for this fun number that has an intoxicating hook is pretty much on the lines of several chartbusters that Vishal-Shekhar had delivered around a decade ago. Dev Negi and Payal Dev do well behind the mike for this fun celebration number written by vayu that has the trio of Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey come together on screen and dance away to glory. A chartbuster track. Yet again, it's the hook that makes an instant impact, what with Vishal-Shekhar getting the youthful feel right again. It is always so delightful to hear Shekhar Ravjiani's voice, especially considering the fact that the composer sings quite rarely. He does quite well though in Kumaar written <strong><em>'The Hook Up Song'</em></strong> which has Alia Bhatt making a special appearance alongside Tiger Shroff. Neha Kakkar is the singing partner of Shekhar here and together they ensure that the album so far has three out of three songs working quite well. Sanam Puri, who had shot to fame with <em>'Dhat Tere Ki' </em>In Punit Malhotra's <em>Gori Tere Pyaar Mein</em> is back for the filmmaker's <em>Student of the Year 2</em>. The song he renders this time around is <strong><em>'Fakira'</em></strong> which has Neeti Mohan giving him company behind the mike. A 'desi' number with a hint of 'sufi' to it, this one written by Anvita Dutt is the kind that needs time to grow and hence should be unveiled pronto if it has to reach out to the audience. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Main Bhi Nahin Soya'</em></strong> and yet again it is Anvita Dutt who is the lyricist here. A Punjabi-Hindi track by Arijit Singh, this one is a sad number and surprisingly doesn't quite fetch your attention even after repeated hearing. Agreed that the feel had to be sober right through its playing time considering its sad theme, one just hopes that it doesn't slow down the proceedings of the film's narrative, especially if it arrives in the second half. The album concludes on a high though with Vishal Dadlani and Payal Dev pairing up for Anvita Dutt written <strong><em>'Jat Ludhiyane Da'</em></strong>. On the same lines as <em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em> and <em>'The Hook Up Song'</em> when it comes to the fun youthful quotient, this one may not go on to emerge as a huge chartbuster but still should do its job well to keep the film's proceedings entertaining. Moreover, it is sung quite well too, especially by Payal Dev who has bagged good opportunity to feature in as many as three songs and has made a good impression each time around. <strong>OVERALL</strong> One expected the music of <em>Student of the Year 2</em> to be largely fun and youthful, and in that aspect the soundtrack does well. There are half a dozen songs in there and while a couple of these are set to be chartbusters, another couple is set to grow in days to come. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan’</em>, <em>‘The Jawaani Song’</em>, <em>‘The Hook Up Song’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> There are good expectations from the music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em>. After all, it's the <em>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety</em> team of Bhushan Kumar and Luv Ranjan coming together, and that by itself sets the platform for an entertaining score. Moreover with Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh coming together, it turns out to be a unique combination that further adds on to enhanced interest. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-981143 size-full" title="Music Review De De Pyaar De" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Music-Review-De-De-Pyaar-De.jpg" alt="Music Review De De Pyaar De" width="750" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Multiple composers, lyricists and singers come together to create half a dozen songs for <em>De De Pyaar De</em> and the first to arrive is <strong><em>'Vaddi Sharaban'</em></strong>. A song about getting intoxicated and celebrating hard, this song written by Kumaar is put to foot tapping tune by Vipin Patwa. Moreover, with Sunidhi Chauhan leading the show as a singer, it adds further credibility. She is at her vivacious best in this song which has a catchy hook to it and Navraj Hans gives her good company too behind the mike. Later, it also arrives in a 'talli mix' which brings in recall value. A romantic number comes next in the form of <strong><em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em></strong> and this one is the kind that could well have been seen and heard in a Ranbir Kapoor or a Saif Ali Khan starrer. Amaal Mallik comes up with a soulful tune here which has Arijit Singh delivering his best. A soothing number that has some beautiful lyrics by Kunaal Vermaa, <em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em> is the kind of song that should have a good shelf life in time to come. Next to arrive is a dance number <strong><em>'Hauli Hauli'</em></strong> and if one was missing Neha Kakkar all this while then well, the wait is over as she gets into her mischievous best with this one. This is the best song to arrive in the album so far as the entire team of composer/lyricist Tanishk Bagchi along with Neha and co-singer Garry Sandhu (who also chips in with the lyrics) does really well to make this one a cracker affair. Mellow D brings on the rap portions in this song which plays in the end credits and ensures that you take this song home and play it all over again. The soundtrack continues to oscillate between a party number and a love song, and it is time for latter to arrive this time around in the form of <strong><em>'Chale Aana'</em></strong>. A happy-sad number which has the team of Amaal Mallik and Kunaal Vermaa pairing up again, this is yet another winner number which is sung beautifully by Armaan Malik. With a soothing tone to it, the song comes at just the right time in the film's narrative and the accompanying visuals further help in making sure that it manages to make a good impact. Moreover, the lyrics stay with you as well. A Punjabi-Hindi number comes up next in the form of Kumaar written <strong><em>'Mukhda Vekh Ke'</em></strong> which is the recreated version of the song that was originally put together by composer Atul Sharma and lyricist Shamsher Sandhu. A celebration number by Manj Musik that has a fun element to it, it may not the kind that would stay on for long amongst the audience but does manage to leave a good impression while it plays on. Mika Singh and Dhvani Bhanushali pair up well to keep good energy flowing right through the song's duration. Last to arrive is Rochak Kohli composed <strong><em>'Dil Royi Jaye'</em></strong> and this one turns out to be one of those sad numbers that actually end up making you feel so sad that you don't quite aim for repeated hearing. In fact the core hook of this Kumaar written song turns out to be way too sad and the song too arrives at that juncture of the film where it only ends up bringing down the film's pace. Arijit Singh is the singer here but somehow you don't quite take this song back home. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em> by and large ends up working quite well with most of the soundtrack actually keeping you pretty much engaged and entertaining. Be it a couple of party numbers or the love songs, they fit in well into the film's narrative as well, hence lending an overall good experience. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Hauli Hauli’</em>, <em>‘Chale Aana’</em>, <em>‘Vaddi Sharaban’</em>, <em>‘Tu Mila To Haina’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Salman Khan. Katrina Kaif. Ali Abbas Zafar. Bhushan Kumar. Vishal-Shekhar. Irshad Kamil - When the credentials are as huge as that, you expect the music to be of the next level. Moreover, considering the fact that the film transitions Salman Khan's journey from being a youngster to an old man as he lives his life along with the rise of <em>Bharat</em>, the music needs to be big too. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-981138 size-full" title="Music Review: Bharat" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bharat-14.jpg" alt="Music Review: Bharat" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is <strong><em>'Slow Motion'</em></strong> and the song is anything but slow motion at play here. A fast paced number that is just the kind which goes with Salman Khan's image, it reminds one of the kind of numbers that were heard in his earlier films like Ready and Bodyguard. Nakash Aziz gets the 'sur' right when it comes to singing for a Salman Khan number and Shreya Ghoshal is a surprise choice as a situation like this could well have been a ready stage for Neha Kakkar to step in. Nonetheless, a foot tapping number that takes time to grow but does eventually. As is expected, a love song comes next in the form of <strong><em>'Chashni'</em></strong>. A couple of versions are heard here with newcomer Abhijeet Srivastava and Neha Bhasin getting a solo track each. While one has to give it to lyricist Irshad Kamil for coming up with a new word for a song, somehow <em>'Chashni'</em> doesn't manage to make an impact. It turns out to be way too full and though the singers do try their best, the final outcome is just not the kind that stays with you for the entire duration. An ordinary track. A fun track comes next, what with newcomer Akasa Singh pairing up with Neeti Mohan and Kamaal Khan for <strong><em>'Aithey Aa'</em></strong>. A song with a North Indian setting to it, <em>'Aithey Aa'</em> has Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif coming together and while their presence does elevate the proceedings to some degree, the overall outcome is not the kind that would make you jive along. Later in the album there is a 'dance version' of the song that comes in as well with Nakash Aziz and Neeti Mohan pairing up. This eventually turns out to be one of those songs that make some sort of an impression after repeated hearing, but that's about it. Theme track of Bharat comes next and this time around director Ali Abbas Zafar steps in as a lyricist as well. In fact he also composes it along with Julius Packiam, and together they come up with <strong><em>'Zinda'</em></strong> which can well be expected to play at number of important junctures of the film. Vishal Dadlani comes behind the mike for this inspirational number that is about confidence in one's abilities and to fight for what's right. This one is an out and out situational number and it would all boil down to the kind of visuals at display once it plays on. The three songs that arrive next are all situational and the first that is heard is <strong><em>'Turpeya'</em></strong>. Sukhwinder Singh is the lead singer here for this number that has a Punjabi base to it and reminds one of many such songs like these that have been heard in the past with a folk feel to them. Expect this one to aid in the film's storytelling. Jyoti Nooran renders <strong><em>'Aaya Na Tu'</em></strong> and the manner in which she sings this one, you are reminded of Kailash Kher. A sad song, this one is quite ordinary and one hopes it doesn't slow down the film's pace. Thankfully, <strong><em>'Thap Thap'</em></strong> turns out to be a relatively better outing, though this too is again there to aid the film's narrative instead of being the kind of number that would emerge as a chartbuster and bring audiences in theaters. Sukhwinder Singh, as always, gets the right energy in for <em>'Thap Thap'</em> and one waits to see the kind of situation for which it has been composed. <strong>OVERALL</strong> One had terrific expectations from Bharat though the music here doesn't turn out to be the kind that was heard in earlier Vishal-Shekhar-Salman Khan-Irshad Kamil-Ali Abbas Zafar collaboration like <em>Tiger Zinda Hai</em>. A couple of songs do make an impact though and for the rest one waits to see how they are integrated into the film. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Slow Motion’</em>, <em>‘Aithey Aa’</em>, <em>‘Zinda’</em>

Shah Rukh Khan’s last film, Zero, released in December 2018 after which he went on a long sabbatical. He has been reading scripts and even shortlisted a few of them. Meanwhile, the names of a lot of filmmakers did the rounds with whom the superstar was supposedly working with. However, of late, it has come to light that SRK is working with blockbuster filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani in his next directorial flick. Recently, while answering a fan question, he also let out a strong hint that he has indeed given his nod to Rajkumar Hirani’s flick. And naturally, it led to a lot of excitement among fans.

While not much is known about the film and its subject, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that for this venture, Rajkumar Hirani and his frequent collaborator writer Abhijat Joshi have been joined by Kanika Dhillon. She has become quite well known of late thanks to her work in films like Manmarziyaan (2018), Kedarnath (2018), Judgmentall Hai Kya (2019) and the web film Guilty (2020). Interestingly, in the beginning of her career, she had extensively worked with SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment. She worked as an assistant director on SRK’s 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om. She wrote the screenplay of Ra.One (2011) and additional screenplay of Always Kabhi Kabhi (2011). Rajkumar Hirani’s next hence marks Kanika’s reunion with Shah Rukh and Red Chillies Entertainment after almost 9 years.

A source close to the project says, “Kanika Dhillon has come on-board and she along with Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi are busy scripting the film. Kanika is mainly scripting while Rajkumar and Abhijat are helping her with inputs. They are hoping to finish in a month or two. The film was to go on floors in August but due to the lockdown, it seems that the shoot will be pushed ahead.”

Rajkumar Hirani’s last film, Sanju, released in 2018 and was based on the controversial life of actor Sanjay Dutt. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, this flick emerged as the biggest hit of that year, earning Rs. 342.53 crores. Hirani, in fact, holds the envious record of not giving a single flop as a director. The source assures, “His film with Shah Rukh Khan too seems to be shaping up well, at the writing stage. And Rajkumar-Abhijat-Kanika collaboration has added a lot to the script and it’ll be something to watch out for.”

Priyanka, who is vocal about her ideas on issues pertaining to women's health, says being an entertainer gives her a platform to spread awareness about social causes.

 





Priyanka Chopra is a veteran Actress.

Have a Good Experience.





Priyanka Chopra says women have the superpower to balance career with family and it is high time men understood that their aspirations are equally important.

 

The 35-year-old actor, who entered the film industry soon after winning the Miss World title at the age of 18, credits her parents, especially her father, for understanding her dreams and helping her achieve them.

 

1. "I came from a family where everyone questioned my decision to become an actor.
There was a big debate in my house. But my parents, especially my father said, 'I am standing by her in whatever she wants to do.


 

2. I will make sure nothing wrong happens to her.' He kept his promise. He was with me always till I was 23. He used to be my manager. I had the support of my father," Priyanka told in an interview.


 

3. "The men in the world need to understand that as soon as you empower a woman, as soon as you give her the opportunity to be her best, she can handle both family and career.
I feel boys can't tackle both. Look at the medals at Commonwealth Games, most of

them have been won by women because they had this opportunity," she says.


 

4. The actor believes society needs to be more open towards the idea of women being ambitious. People have still not warmed up to the idea of a career-oriented woman.
