Abishek very clued in - Ash
Abhishek is very clued-in," said Aishwarya Rai at the Music Launch of her Big Ticket Period extravaganza 'Umrao Jaan' in a plush Mumbai hotel. It was after a long wait of eight months that Ash was coming before the Media Bazaar. Dressed in a creamy-white-golden saree, she looked svelte in that Dhoom physique and Nakshatra Diamond smile. Abhishek's absence was more than made up by his illustrious Dad Amitabh Bachchan who graced the occasion with élan. And as the 'Kajra Re' duo hugged warmly, the shutterbugs went in a dizzy….One more….They screamed….
The promos of 'Umrao Jaan' were shown on a big screen while the set by Bijon Dasgupta specially created in the Hotel premises were Grand. Now, it would be improper to compare the two 'Umrao Jaan's'. For they represent two different generations and mindsets. As for the music of the film, when you compare it with the present lot, it's most certainly original. The semi classical raag based songs soulfully sung by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam do evoke curiosity and interest. It remains to be seen whether it manages to withstand the passage of time that the earlier version so successfully achieved. 'Umrao Jaan' may just steal the thunder from 'Don' and 'Jaaneman' due to the super chemistry between Ash and Aby Baby. It's time to wait and watch.
