Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy can be brought to TFM

All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Remember the Music Director trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the music directors of Kamal Hassan's Alavandhaan. They seem to be missing in the Tamil scene for the last 2 years and they are doing really good in the Hindi field. They have given solid musical hits in Hindi such as; Mission Kashmir, Dil Chahtha Hai. I think they can be brought to the Tamil films again. I feel they are definitely better than Deva and a few others. I think they are the best as far as Hindi Film Music goes after A R Rahman.

I would like healthy comments who listen to Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and have a fair knowledge of Hindi Film Industry.

  MUNNABHAI M.B.B.S.
  (2003) Directed by Rajkumar Hirani
  Pure pleasure. Sanjay Dutt’s impulsive and openhearted “Brother Munna” is a lovable lug of a Bombay gangster who has for years been running an elaborate scam to convince his village-bound parents that he has become a distinguished doctor in the big city. When his ruse is discovered, Munna attempts to make the lie come true by muscling his way into first-year classes at the local medical college. Needless to say, chaos ensues. This roguish and oddly uplifting hit comedy is one of the best-crafted Bollywood entertainments in memory, from its expertly structured script to the pinpoint comic timing of brooding action hero Dutt in the title role. The star appears here for the first time with his living-legend father, Sunil Dutt (MOTHER INDIA), who heads a superb supporting cast of droll comedians.
  Producer: Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Screenwriters: R. Hirani, Lajan Joseph, V.V. Chopra. Dialogue: Abbas Tyrewala. Cinematographer: Binod Pradhan. Music Director: Anu Malik. Lyrics: Rahat Indori, A. Tyrewala. With: Sunil Dutt, Sanjay Dutt, Gracy Singh, Arshad Warsi. 35mm, in Hindi with English subtitles, 146 min.

  SARFAROSH
  (Rebel Ahead)
  (1999) Directed by John Matthew Matthan
  As an indication of how accommodating the Bollywood musical-melodrama format can be when it is used cleverly, here’s a hot-wired police-procedural suspense picture that honors all of the central masala film conventions. It helps that John Matthew Matthan’s tightly crafted debut was the first film made after the Indian government lifted a gag order forbidding by-name depictions of the ISI, Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence agency and its sponsorship of “cross-border” terrorism. Matthan is meticulous in detailing the nuts and bolts of both intricate criminal networks and of dogged police methods, and his characters live in surroundings that are visibly appropriate to their station in life, not in Bollywood’s standard castles of fantasy. Matthan’s concern with plausibility is well served by superstar Aamir Khan (LAGAAN), who brings an impressive, grounded ferocity to the central role of a police detective on a personal anti-terrorist crusade. The movie also explores with unusual subtlety the conflicted feelings of some Muslim citizens of India, from a dedicated Bombay police officer (Mukesh Rishi), who resents the unjust suspicions of his colleagues, to a rich and famous Pakistan-born ghazal singer, played by MONSOON WEDDING’s Naseeruddin Shah, who expounds on the common roots of the Hindi and Urdu musical traditions.
  Producers: Manmohan Shetty, J.M. Matthan. Screenwriter: J.M. Matthan. Dialogue: Hriday Lani, Pathik Vats. Cinematographer: Vikas Sivaraman. Music Directors: Jatin-Lalit. Lyrics: Israr Ansari, Nida Fazli, Indivar, Sameer. Choreography: Farah Khan, Amed Khan, Raju Khan. With: Aamir Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonali Bendre, Mukesh Rishi. 35mm, in Hindi and Urdu with English subtitles, 155 min.

  I asked a Music store last Saturday. They said that there was a Audio Release function on Friday itself(16th), however the cassettes and cds should be available only from Monday or Tuesday. Got to check it out today.
  
  And yes, both the song 'Main Aisa' and the bgm for the trailer sound cool. Am sure this ones going to be a musical treat!

  Prabhu Deva's choreography in 'Main Aisa HKyun Hoon..' looks slick in those few clips they show in the trailer. need to see the complete song before judging it.

  Hi Ehsaan,
  
  Lakshya truely is one of your best works.
  What a superb albumn. You guys really never drop your high standards.
  
  Although one little crticism in my hummblest opinion.....in the song'Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe' Roop Kumar Rathod sounds alittle out of place. I would have thought SP Balasubramaniam would have been a better choiceto add to the team.
  
  Well lastly Ehsaan Saab, what is in the pipeline as to future projects?
  Will we be seeing you work with SP Balasubramaniam?
  
  What projects are you excited about?

  Hi Ehsaan,
  Hope the 3 of you are fine and in good health.
  I was reading that you (SEL) have given music to a Hindi film staring with southern superstar Mammooty and Raveena Thandon???
  Also, did you vote???? whats your opinion on the election and the results????
  
  
• From: Ehsaan (@ 202.68.146.187) on: Sat May 15 11:13:15 EDT 2004
  
  hi vijoy yes we have gien music for a film with the 2 actors but the name of the film has been changed a few times so right now i am not sure what the film is called.

• From: Vijoy Shekhar (@ 193.188.97.152) on: Sun May 16 08:49:58 EDT 2004
  
  Hi Ehsaan,
  Well, I support congress but dont really like the idea of Sonia Gandhi as the PM. We have over a Billion Indians and not one leader???
  I heard that you are planning to give music for a tamil film??? Is it true???
