Hi Chord and all, I completely agree with chord. After seeing the trailers, i have no doubts left that there is nothing to hope out of this movie. Also, i am sorry to say but the music in the trailer is not impressive at all. It looks like Ghai has intervened too much and have forced ARR to commercialize his music. ARR himself has also been into commercialization than he ever was. First JTYJN (I still listen JA songs more than JTYJN) and now Yuvvraj. Upcoming Gajni will also be more commercialized coz of Aamir factor. So all we are left with is Private album of ARR and Dilli 6.
My prediction about Yuvvraj could be wrong when music releases (I pray god I'm wrong), but trailer of Yuvvraj sugests something else.
