In the times of techno and hip-hop, a song with traditional musical instruments has been recorded for Salman Khan’s movie Veer .
It is a project that’s very close to Salman Khan ’s heart. The superstar has himself penned the film’s story and is now taking personal interest in all aspects of the movie’s making.
For instance, there is a song called “Taali Maar” in the movie. It’s written by Gulzar and composed by Sallu’s favourite composers Sajid-Wajid . And Salman was not a silent spectator while the song was being recorded. He told the music composer duo that he wanted the song to be recorded on a lavish scale, with the use of traditional instruments because the movie is a period drama.
Sallu’s wish was Sajid-Wajid’s command. As many as 130 musicians were called in from different parts of the country – from Chennai, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and UP. Among them were also experts who played instruments that no longer feature in today’s songs.
To achieve the purity of sound, little possible use was made of multi-track recording (a malaise which has robbed today’s music of a unified soul).
So with such a huge troupe, the song “Taali Maar” was recorded over a period of thirteen days. At the end of it all, Sajid-Wajid were a happy duo. So was Salman.
The story of ‘Veer’ has been written by Salman and the film is being directed by Anil Sharma .

Someone asked is Raja better or Sanchita and got a nice answer:
Raja is much much better than Sanchita. He has wealth of talent inside. lekhin Sanchita ke pass kya hai? Sanchita ke pass Abhijeet ka ashirwaad hai jo Raja ke pass nahi hai. Just like Amitabh ke pass gadi hai bangla hai lekin Shashi Kapoor ke pass ma hai.
Isnt that interesting?

Tomorrow is Ganesh Chaturthi so I wish that this day brings prosperity and happiness to everybody`s life. This week is a week of celebrations and festivities in Mumbai and Maharastra as well as it is celebrated all over India.
Here are five lessons from Lord Ganesha to be remembered for life:
Five lessons from Ganesh
Of all the multitudes of deities and gods that constitute the Hindu religion, Lord Ganesha is probably one of the most loved and revered of all, regardless of individual beliefs and customs. Considered the god of good beginnings and wisdom, it is in his name that new ventures are undertaken and important life decisions made.While there are many spiritual lessons to be learned from the stories of Lord Ganesha, there are some lessons that find a place in our every-day professional and personal lives as well. We take a look at some of them:
Act in good faith
Whatever Lord Ganesha undertook, he undertook with conviction and self-belief. It was the belief that his actions were in his and his mother Parvati’s best interests is what governed his thoughts and translated into challenging acts, feats that improved his abilities and honed his skills.
It is this that we need to inculcate in ourselves, in the way we work. Any job, if it is worth doing, is worth doing well. Whatever the task you are faced with, face it with courage and conviction and do it to the best of your ability. At the end of the day, even if your effort goes unrecognised, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you gave it your best shot.
Depend on yourself
One of the other names Ganesha is known as is Vinayak, meaning master of oneself. This signifies independence in thought and action. Whether in one’s professional or personal life, one must act on one’s beliefs after due consideration of relevant factors. Take ownership and responsibility for your actions and their outcome. Just knowing that you alone are responsible will make you take the decision that much more seriously.
Every obstacle can be overcome
Lord Ganesha is also known as Vigneshwara, one who removes obstacles. It is for this reason that he is invoked in times of crisis by believers and also why business ventures are started with a puja (prayer ceremony) in his name. Removing obstacles is his religion.
To take this a step further, one must believe that every obstacle can be overcome. One must also make removing obstacles a dharma in one’s own life. Whether in your professional or personal life, with the right attitude — a never-say-die attitude — even what seems like the most insurmountable difficulty can be handled without your world falling to pieces. All you need is faith in yourself.
Modesty
Lord Ganesha is considered one of the most powerful gods in Hinduism, unlike the other gods who choose bejeweled chariots, his vehicle is the modest mouse. The mouse is seen to signify darkness and, as the Lord’s vehicle, is believed to signify the journey from darkness (or ignorance) to light or enlightenment.
Another interpretation is that Ganesha wins hearts through simple methods, and this too holds a lesson. A shiny car or extravagant lifestyle might impress, but to win hearts, the simplest way is through one’s actions — through simple gestures of affection and respect.
Seek knowledge
While Lord Ganesha has been attributed with many of the qualities proverbially credited to elephants, the most well-known are the ears and trunk — which suggest curiosity, the quest for wisdom and knowledge. His large head and ears are said to indicate an open-minded attitude that helps him accrue wisdom.
These are qualities that we could do well to adopt to improve and grow as a person. Read, explore, listen and learn — nothing is irrelevant and nothing insignificant. Only when one educates oneself and listens to all sides of an argument can one judge what one truly believes in, what one wants and how it can be achieved. that every obstacle can be overcome. One must also make removing obstacles a dharma in one’s own life. Whether in your professional or personal life, with the right attitude — a never-say-die attitude — even what seems like the most insurmountable difficulty can be handled without your world falling to pieces. All you need is faith in yourself.

First of all let me say yesterdays argument between Raja Jassi and Abhijeet was not scripted at all.Offcourse it was edited by the channel since it was a long argument on the sets which continued almost for an hour.
We have never seen Raja Hasan in this mood ever before in last one year and we always know that Raja Hasan is a very cool person but this time around Raja and Jassi were very much hurt when it was shown on the AV where Abhijeet said that Raja and Jassi should be the first pair to be eliminated.
I already wrote about it a day before that Abhijeet is not giving Raja and Jaswir what they deserved.Raja and Jaswir has given so many mindblowing performances on the show but never got the praise and marks they deserved and this effects their career for sure.
Raja and Jassi are working hard for giving such mindblowing performances and mind it they are on national tv and if they get the deserved comments and marks their status would have been raised but Abhijeet openly supporting Kushal Sanchita and Aneek and Sayantani deprives Raja and Jaswir.
Finally Abhijeet accepted that Kushaal and Sanchita are his favourites. Come on Abhijeet da you are on a Judges chair and you cannot favour any particular contestant and go on praising him or her and give undeserved marks. In fact you are communally biased and you are not fit to judge a reality show and we hope that no channel invites you again to judge any show.
On the other hand Ahmed as a Judge has proved himself always right and he watches each and every performance minutely and is always up to the point in his marks and comments so I would congratulate him for being unbiased and perfect.

After yesterdays argument with Abhijeet Bhattacharya it seems that all music lovers are standing in support of Raja and Jaswir Kaur.Discussion is going on on net in different forums. I present here some comments made by music lovers all accross the net which explains how much support Raja and Jaswir has:
1) I am totally with Raja and jaasi! How many times did Sanchita get a 10 or 9 or 8?? Many times. yes she is ver very talented. And it’s wrong to compare a male singer with female but Is Raja that bad?? Even after a standing ovation or great great comment he ends up getting lower than others. Is he that bad??? That bad that Abhijeet gave him one point extra and it was still low??
it’s like this
” Sanchita this was not your best performance. You could’ve done this, could’ve done that. your mark is 7″
” Raja god gave you that voice! it’s gift! You sing with soul….etc etc! You get a 7″
I don’t think Raja was disrespectful at all. On the other hand Abhijeet was disrespectful.People who have no respect for others don’t deserve respect. He was down right insulting. He doesn’t want contestants to voice their opinion. He even asked who is he? Hello who do you think you are? Yes you are a good singer. Look around you the industry is filled with them.Your days are over! No wonder you are jobless. Atleast do this job as a judge right. I am pretty sure if there was a concert of Raja and Abhijeet going on Raja would have more of a audience. So YES he has fans abhijeet . I think even Ahmed finds him wrong but doesn’t want to say anything to show respect.
And wow Raja and Jassi got the highest score today. Big deal the judges didn’t do them any kind of favor. It was so clear they were better than the other 2 teams. They should’ve gotten a better score. It’s not that they did superb but they did 100 times better than the other 2 jodis.
Kushal had no dancing going on. Sanchita had no true singing going on.
Meenal did good, counting the appearance out which didn’t go with the song at all she did very good. The theme was bad. instead of fusion it looked liked they didn’t know what song goes with what move?
That brings it back to Raja and Jassi who weren’t superb but they had no major flaws like the other 2 couple! So either other jodis deserved lower mark or they deserved a little higher.
And kudos to Abhijeet. It must take lots of courage to be one of the most hated judge in india right now. You make Himesh look like a saint. Beat him in emotional drama and partialty.
I can’t wait to their mark on jassi’s 2nd dance. It was sooo graceful. I didn’t like the outfit but she was soo amazingly graceful. If she doesn’t get a high score I would be mad. I know if Sayantani did the same dance they would’ve given her a good mark.
No offense to anyone!
2) Abhijit doesn’t THINK before he says something and then he doesn’t even regret it later on when he KNOWS he is wrong!
I was shocked when he said to Raja that he’d regret what he said after saying his marks. Okay, if Raja did ARGUE than necessary, maybe, but did Abhijit have to CARRY ON? being an adult he could’ve nigotitated well, but he didn’t. And now I believe he does’t know HOW TO! (no offense to abihjit fans)
He knows he favours Sanchita, but he just won’t say it! He said that he has a fav. every week… but that’s not what it seems like. Sanchita preformed bad but she has never recieved any bad marks. Bad comments, but high marks. It’s like a total diff. thing. Marks are great comments turn our bad or the other way round
I’m glad there was no drama in the end when the marks were revealed though!
3) I totally agree with you, what Abhijeet was WRONG. Being the “mature and wiser” guy he should have controlled himself and ended this arguement not continued it…I mean asking Raja who he thinks he is….wtfff man is it wrong to question the judges they aren’t God! Just b/c Raja spoke up doesn’t mean he’s wrong I also noticed how Abhijeet wasn’t fair to him…Raja would always (or usually) get good comments yet he’d always get like 7/8 points. and WTF is up with Abhijeet and Sanchita…damn she may be a good singer but she’s not hte best on the show even when she wasn’t all that great he’d give out 9’s and 10’s to her in like every episode I totally think that is unfair and I disagree with his judging skills. It’s so obvious he favors Sanchita and gives her points like giving out free candy on Halloween!!! Abhijeet doesn’t know what the heck he is doing, he doesn’t have the right to judge this show I am so sick of him…why didn’t he get fired earliar after what he did with Mussarat? This guy has no manners whatsoever!!!
Enough Saiddd…
4) I hope raja and kajri wins this competition. they proposedly thrown the contisntantly great singing and dancing pair aneek and naagin out so they can keep their favourites.i cant see abhisek minal or sanchita kushal have same usp as raja kajri. judge wise abhijit is disgusting. i think it is not abhijits fault it is zee tvs fault because they appoint a useless disgusting judge, well done raja!!!
5) I am so happy that my meenal is not a part of this show now…there is hardly any transparency in the show….everybody is confused….favourotism is ruling…performance is the last thing in consideration…hatts off to RAJA n JASSI whose comments who dared to open their mouth against injustice and favourtism….and so ridiculous and hurting to see that abhijeet himself accepting that he has been favouring sanchita…wat else remain to say…may god bless him
6) Thumbs Down to Abhijeet, could he get any lower?
I can go on and on bashing him…this man OMG I have no words…
How obvious can it get that he’s favoring Sanchita…
I won’t even be surprised if Kushal & Sanchita win this…
I mean Kushal is a damn good dancer but I’m getting sick of Sanchita’s AVERAGE singing!
I wish Aneek & Sayantani were still on this show and in the finals…
*Sigh*
