Royalty at Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
music launch
24th November 2010
Bollywood
stars Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and
Sikander Kher, were joined by Her Highness, Maharani
of Sawantwadi, Prince of Sawantwadi, Amitabh Bachchan,
Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anupam
Kher and Kirron Kher at the music launch of Khelein
Hum Jee Jaan Sey, the latest project by
Ashutosh Gowariker, the director behind the Oscar
nominated film Lagaan. Towards the
end of the music launch event the entire cast,
along with the media, broke into an impromptu
rendition of the national anthem followed by slogans
of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".
In
true Indian patriotic spirit, all guests were requested to attend
the event wearing hues of white and red including the lead actors,
who sported the costumes of their on screen avatars. Their attire
complimented the authentic and original methods of sound recording
commonly used in 1960s and 1970s Bollywood before the modern music
technologies of todays industry were introduced.
Over
90 per cent of the music featured in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan
Sey was actually recorded live, which is a rarity in Bollywood
films these days according to Sohail Sen, Music Director of the
film, who used a live strings section instead of modern pad and
live double bass instead of bass guitar to compose the lasting soundtrack.
The soundtrack of the film has been met with great critical acclaim.
The title track Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, the most energetic
sounding song of the film, was rendered by Suresh Wadkars
Music Academy.
Khelein
Hum Jee Jaan Sey is based on the novel Do And Die
by Manini Chatterjee about the Chittagong Uprising of 1930. The
period thriller was released in cinemas on Friday 3rd December 2010,
distributed worldwide by Cinergy Independent Film Services Pvt.
Ltd. Click
