Producer Vashu Bhagnani has been giving direction reins to debutant directors for past few flicks now - examples being Gautam Menon for RHTDM, Ashu Trikha for Deewaanapan, Anupam Kher for Om Jai Jagadish and now Talat Jani for Jeena Sirf Merre Liye. But sadly his past few forays haven't paid him rich dividends as they used to in his David Dhawan days when flicks like Coolie No; 1, Hero No;1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan were superhits and even Satish Kaushik delivered the first hit of 2001 - Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. Now this has to be seen whether the youthful pair of MKKH - Tusshar Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are successful in recreating the magic of MKKH.

As far as the promos go, JSML seems to be a fun movie of two lovers - A tale of eternal love. Vashu Bhagnani joins hand with Nadeem Shravan for the first time for his maiden album under Puja Music company. Sameer writes and as has been the combination of Nadeem Shravan and Sameer, they deliver goods once again.

Title song of Jeena Sirf Merre Liye is an excellent composition which is immensely likeable from the word GO. Nadeem Shravan compose in their trademark style and the results are there for everyone. Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Babul Supriyo have their heart in, lyrics too are simple and come to lips naturally. Ever seen a qawaali shot under waterfall or some other unexpected location. Well, this is Vashu Bhagnani for you !! Talk of being innovative and he fits in the bill. The qawalli in the picture here is 'Allah Allah' which is quite catchy and the combination of Kareena, Nadeem Shravan and some good choreography and locations make it worth listening/watching. Well..

'Leke Pehla Pehla Pyaar' from the shyaam-shwet era..I mean Black & White era resurfaces as 'Tu Hai Sola Satraa Saal'. The first two lines are a straight lift from the original but the following part of the composition holds at it's own. Abhijeet and Kavita Krishnamurthy just freak out at this "No-Holds" bar track which is funky to say the least. Choreography is good and the lead couple of Tusshar and Kareena enjoy their outing. As is a 'Dhol' favourite for Ismail Darbar, the same way is 'Dupatta' - Vashu sir's favourite. It flies high once again with the track 'Dupatta' sung with aplomb by Anuradha S.

'Kash Ke Tujhse Milte' is the only slow number in this otherwise masti-se-bhari-album. Sung by Alka Yagnik and K.K, inspite of the track being OK, it creates a hindrance in the proceedings of the album and so disappoints. But we never know, in the movie it may be a good addition. Well, the fun is back with 'Pyaar Maange' which is a racy pacy track sung by Babul Supriyo and Sunidhi Chauhan. Don't think too much about the ordinary lyrics here - anyway they get lost in the heavy beats here. Another time pass number - it holds good till it is played.

Indian tourism is promoted with 'Ek Baar To India' which speaks everything about India Gate, Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, Char Minar, food and festivals. Hey hey ...don't get scared..it's not yet another deshbhakti song. It's about a girl wooing her hubby to come to India and see all this for himself. Set as a pacy track yet again with the dependable vocals of Alka Yagnik and well supported by Babul Supriyo, it is a well made situational song which should be good fit in the storyline of the movie.

JSML may not be trend setter and is certainly not going to be a masterpiece by any means, nor is it going to be the chart-buster of the decade, but still it is a safe beginning to Puja Music. It will appeal mainly to the youth who like such catchy, trendy music. A good effort.
