I think that observation could be correct. But that could be Subhash Ghai who must have emphasized to get that type of music, use of instruments, that he always gives in his films' music. Taal was surely sounding contemporary at the time of its release, even ahead of time, but this album's mood is more of 70s. I would not term that as a drawback of the music, but as a plus of the MD who could get a 70s' feel 40 year later. > > With the exception of Kisna and Yaadein, all of Subhash Ghai's > musical extravaganzas had atleast one "screaming" hit track - Who says Kisna didn't have screaming tracks - though it didn't become hit. :-) > the > soundtracks had lively and immensely entertaining music with lavish > and elaborate instrumental arrangements...in comparison, Yuvvraaj is > too simple, Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. That is the whole point.

I don't know UK Top 40 charts back in the early 90's, but it is really credible to ARR+Ghai that they created and dared to release such a number 20 years later. > > I'm not sure what Subhash Ghai's trying to do here, the music is too > low-key for his standards...don't get me wrong, I love all the songs > from Yuvvraaj, Oh, is it?
