man, i can understand that u hate JA movie the core now u r pinching the music too. this is ridiculous in my context..
to u azeem-o-shah-in-shah is song is "irritatingly louder".. which to me, is a big joke.. even Joginder was able to change his stance on JA's music.. u r the odd one out now! i wudnt be surprised if you feel lagaan and swades songs as irritantingly louder!
