B.R Chopra Productions celebrated its 50 golden years with the music launch of their much-awaited 'Baabul'. This banner enjoys a reputation (more for their class products), quite similar to the Yash Raj banner headed by B.R Chopra's brother Yash Chopra, when it comes to good quality family entertainers with brilliant meaningful music. And Ravi Chopra, very much like cousin Aditya Chopra took this banner to new heights with the success of his family melodrama 'Baghban'. Its music (and of course Big B) played a big hand in that. Who can forget the rocking 'Chali-Chali', the tear-jerker 'Main Yahan Tu Wahan' or the festive celebration number 'Meri Makhana', just to name a few. The music director Aadesh Shrivastava was in full form. So it is natural that we have a lot of expectations from this album too. Let us see if they are fulfilled or not.

Before we go on to the first track, a brief reflection on who was instrumental in Amitabh's emergence (in his second innings) as the 'Item Man' (if Abhi can be called 'Item Boy', why not the Big B as 'Item Man'!). Well actually it was Aadesh Shrivastava who was instrumental in making Amitabh dance his way, once again, into the people's hearts with 'Sona-Sona' in 'Major Saab'. After that, other music directors (including Aadesh himself) followed suit and we were treated to some lovely dance numbers like 'Shava Shava', 'Kajrare', 'Rock n Roll Soniye', etc., which were composed with the one and only Amitabh Bachchan in mind.
