Click to play videoMumbai: It's the big Diwali release this year and the buzz around the Salman Khan-Akshay Kumar-Preity Zinta starrer Jaan-e-Mann is only getting louder.
A love triangle treated like a Broadway musical, Jaan-e-Mann marks the directorial debut of editor Shirish Kunder, the man who held the scissors for such films as Main Hoon Na and Matrubhoomi.
The Director insists that each song had a solid purpose in the plot, and says much thought has gone behind each number.
"There are no item songs. It comes as a part of the story. In the songs people are talking and scenes are there. At a place where you need 10 scenes we have put one song instead. At most expected place where you feel a song is going to come you don’t have a song," says Kunder.
The film, shot extensively in the US, has music by Anu Malik and lyrics by Gulzar.
For Malik, who's been replaced by more saleable composers like Himesh Reshammiya and Pritam in several projects recently, Jaan-e-mann will be a comeback of sorts, he says.
"You can say I have reinvented myself through Jaan-e-mann. In a way you can say that it’s a new beginning, a new chapter in my life," says Malik.
Produced on a budget of Rs 35 crore, the film drew the attention of viewers recently when it was announced that an early promo cost Rs 35 lakh to put together.
The film's producer isn't complaining about the fat bill, insisting that some expenses cannot be wished away.
“It gives you the feel of the film. A total feel of a Rs 35 crore film has to be put in 30 seconds. So, it’s a difficult task,” says Sajid Nadiadwala.
Of course, the proof of the pudding is in its eating, so you can be the judge when you pick up a copy of the soundtrack when it hit stores on Wednesday.
