{mosimage}Here in the bus, especially during the return journeys, I very often hear that somebody is playing the songs of "Aashiqui", "Saajan" and sometimes "Sadak" from their mobile / mp3 player.... And NO... it is not from the same person.. ha! ha! ha! I am a sucker for these movie songs but quite surprised that I have so many people for my company. While those songs were composed, nobody would have expected that those songs will be played by somebody even after a couple of decades. Recently I read somewhere that the music company Venus claimed that it ha d sold more than 23 lakh units of the just cassettes of "Saajan" making it an all time highest seller in the Bollywood music industry. I remember the magic of "Aashiqui"s music, that cast its spell all over the nation, when I was in 8th std... watching "Chitrahaar" on the wednesday and expecting the songs of "Aashiqui" on air. Most of the times that year I was not disappointed because the movie celebrated Golden jubilee, so almost for an year they played all the songs repeatedly all the week. I would safely say that the prime of the Nadeem - Shravan, with a distinctive sound / style of their own, is almost similiar to what IR was for Tamil songs with the simlarity extending that AR Rahman's rise led to their downfall. When I hear those songs, these days, being played by somebody in the bus, it rekindles a lot of old memories which is soothing.. especially after a tiring day. - {oshits} reads
