It may come as a shock to many that a spectacular 'qawwali' by the maestro, A R Rahman, has been dropped from Ashutosh Gowariker and UTV's republic week release, JODHAA AKBAR.

The traditional 'qawwali', from the movie that features the 'Indian Greek God', Hrithik Roshan and timeless beauty Aishwarya (Rai) Bachchan, had been extravagantly picturised, a while back. The music director of the magnum opus, A R Rahman, informs that it was a mutually agreed decision, as there was no situational demand.

Rahman also has interesting information regarding the above mentioned 'qawwali'. As per the composer, so impressed is Aishwarya Bachchan with the composition that she wants to use it in her next project/movie.

Well, for now we can only wait and watch whether Ashutosh concedes to the demand of the Bachchan 'bahu'!

hopefully UTV will at least put it on the dvd release.

and stays on soundtrack, does not disappear like WANGDI MADORI of Water!

Bangri Marori is on the Indian version of the Water soundtrack (released by Sony BMG).

Now you tell us after ages lol

The Indian version of the CD was released this year. I got it from AnyTamil, but I had a headache about them with my order, so I'd ask someone going to India to get it for you.

I thought audio release was today any how seems JA going ASOKA way down!

While on UTV, their next venture JODHA AKBAR, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, will be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu languages. That’s not all, UTV has plans of releasing the two versions extensively in these two markets. Read on…

UTV’s current plans are to release the magnum opus in 1,000 + screens in the domestic market in the three languages [Hindi, Tamil, Telugu]. “Don’t be surprised if the number of screens touch 1,200,” Suniel Wadhwa, Associate Vice President - India Distribution, UTV informs me. The breakdown [as on this date] is as follows:- Hindi version 750, Telugu version 150 and Tamil version 100 screens. Incidentally, Hrithik Roshan’s previous movies, DHOOM 2 and KRRISH, were also dubbed in Telugu and Tamil languages.

The Telugu trailers of JODHA AKBAR were unleashed during Dassera week [18th October] with ATHIDHI, with 248 trailers [352 screens] across Andhra Pradesh, while the Tamil trailers were released during the Diwali week [9th November] with AZHAGIYA TAMIL MAGAN and VEL.

Last I heard the audio is releasing on December 4th.

Finally some word from Ashutosh Gowariker himself!

pre listen was just luke warm imho!!!

And I see "Big Flop" written all across each and every publicity still they have released. That's despite big names Hritik and Aish.
I hope I'm proven wrong for the film makers' sake, like TZP.
