I think it would be a bigger hit than Mission Kashmir. It looks and sounds like a decent film and is directed by Farhan Akhtar who did Dil Chahta Hai. It's been so eagerly anticipated since it's announcement and possibly could be the biggest hit of the year.

Anyone heard the music of lakshya. I heard its already released 3 days ago. What about the music release of Deewar and Dev?

HUM tum and deewar is out!

Arsh bhai yeh deewar (Gaurang doshi) ka music kahan par hai? I didnt find it yet in any site. Also, I know about the releasing of Lakshya by sony some days ago, but havent heard of the music review yet.

I saw a little promo on one of the weekend desi programs. I can tell you it is not what I expected. They showed Hirthik dancing in a straight jacket and some middle aged couples watching him. Hirthik also have a unusual hair style.

My apologies to all HRITHIK fans!!

Lakshya Music is BIG TIME!! AVERAGE!!

It is no DCH/MK..as far FRESHNESS is concerned!

It is not even on par with KNK and ARMAAN, that were not as GOOD as DCH/MK.

KHNH..I dont BOTHER, as it is just another KKKG/KKHH imho!

I can to my best capabilities CATEGORIZE it as equivalent to ABHAY! JAVAID/SEL!

But this is not ABSOLUTE!! Just my humble opinion!as Every one listen with different perspectives!!

IMHO, SEL, had been CAUGHT in a BHANWAR since DCH, going AROUND and AROUND, reaching NO WHERE! Thats is SAD! I think

Lakshya needs more punch

Sukanya Verma | April 26, 2004 11:00 IST


Composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyricist Javed Akhtar make up the musical team of Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya.

So is the music of Lakshya better than Farhan Akhtar's debut film, Dil Chahta Hai?

No.

Dil Chahta Hai was refreshingly unconventional. Lakshya is not all that inventive.

But the film, featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta, does have a couple cool tunes to offer. And you realise the songs are considerably significant to the film.

Take Main aisa kyon hoon. The lyrics speak about a clueless chap. As a bonus, this superbly arranged hip-hop tune crooned animatedly by Shaan is one hell of a catchy number.

Then, there is Agar main kahoon. Its western countryside influence in the music notwithstanding, the track plays on what-ifs. It also intersperses a conversation between Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta. The guy is trying to woo the girl. The girl is playing hard to please.

Hrithik's character exasperatedly exclaims, "Lagta hai tumhe kuch bhi acha nahi, sach ko bhi kehti ho sacha nahin. Although the camaraderie is reminiscent of Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta in Jaane kyon (Dil Chahta Hai), Agar main kahoon gets a thumbs up.

Kitni baatein, a gently rendered melody by Sadhana Sargam and Hariharan, flows on a melancholic note.

Despite the enthusiasm in Shankar Mahadevan's voice and the drama in the compositions, Lakshya fails to make an impact. The title track doesn't have the go-getter spirit of Hindustani in Dus or Chalo chalein in Lagaan. The idealism in this track is kind of in-your-face, like that in the Bajaj Auto television commercials.

Kandhon se milte hain kandhe is high on patriotic fervor, but it doesn't make for an exciting billboard anthem. It is sung by Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam, Hariharan, Roop Kumar Rathod, Kunal Ganjawala and Vijay Prakash.

There are two instrumental themes as well -- Separation and Victory. The former is a tender play of guitar strings and piano. The combination gains momentum with the addition of a melodramatic violin. This one is soothing on the ears. Victory is emotionally charged and action-packed.

Bottom line: Lakshya has its moments. But is that all you were expecting from one of 2004's eagerly awaited films?




*** U will READ SELF PROCLAIMED CRITICS AWARDING HUM TUM, LAKSYA 9/10..I would RECOMMEND LISTENING UR SELF!

I saw song, MAIN AISA KYOUN HOON, believe me I was DISGUSTED, it SEEMED like HRITHIK, making FOOL of himself, as FOREST GUMP

FOREST GUMP, u lengthen, him, make him do some BELLY DANCING/BELLET, FLEXING , like doing some THEDA MEDHA ROUTIENE, with a HUMUNGO IDIOTIC LOOKS! but TOP OF THE WORLD DIFFICULT DANCING MOVES! IDIOCY is MORE PRONOUNCED/LESS CHILDISH than KMG, LADIES and GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT u with DUGGU with his BAD LAKSHYA!

I picked up my copy of Lakshya CD. It's a bonus CD pack. Haven't heard the audio yet.

NOT that GOOD, if u ask me? but I cant say? abt others?

I like the song "Agar main kahoon" very much. It has a nice lyric and reminds me of "Jaane kyon". This song is too actually a conversation.
