Hi, I felt the exact same way when I saw the movie for the first time. The charm and the depth of the song is never exemplified in the movie. Guess whats worse ? The song is picturized in NASA space center where Mohan (SRK) is shown to be working on his project. Also he excluded a beautiful song - "Aahista Aahista" from the movie !
I liked the way he used the Shehnai part of the song during the scene where Mohan is traveling back home in train. Nonetheless, Ashutosh Gowarikar could've done a better job here. Anyways, whats up with the controversies on Bose ?
