Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

So, the latest fad I’ve got myself engaged with is Aamir Khan’s upcoming home production, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (check out the official website at www.jaanetu.com).

The film marks Mansoor Khan’s comeback as producer, is directed by Abbas Tyrewala, and most importantly, it’s the launch vehicle of Aamir’s nephew, Imran Khan and stars Genelia D’souza as his female lead. With Aamir himself taking care of all the finer details of production and promotion, it sure is going to be a treat to watch out for!

Although it’s slated to release on July 4, the music launch took place on May 15.

Music’s by the maestro A R Rahman, and having heard all the songs properly for the first time today, I’ve instantly fallen in love! It’s after Jodha Akbar that we get to hear the magic-musician at work, and I am definitely not disappointed!

The album consists of 8 songs, two of which(Kabhie Kabhie Aditi Zindagi and Pappu Can’t Dance) have already gone on air. Here are the lyrics of three of my favourite songs from the film:

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi (3:41)
Playback: Rashid Ali

kabhie kabhie aditi zindagi mein yunhin koi apna lagta hai.
kabhie kabhie aditi woh bichad jaye toh ek sapna lagta hai.
aise mein koi kaise apne aansoon ko behne se roke,
aur kaise koi sochde, everything’s gonna be ohk.
kabhie kabhie toh lage zindagi mein rahi na khushi aur na mazaa,
kabhie kabhie toh lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek saza
aise mein koi kaise muskuraaye kaise hans de woh khush hoke
aur kaise koi sochde, everything’s gonna be ohk.

soch zara jaaneja tujhko hum kitna chahte hain
rote hain hum bhi agar teri ankhon mein aansoon aate hain
gaana toh aata nahin hai magar phir bhi hum gate hain
hey aditi, maan kabhie kabhie saare jahaan mein andhera hota hai,
lekin raat ke baad hi toh savera hota hai,
kabhie kabhie aditi zindagi mein yunhin koi apna lagta hai.
kabhie kabhie aditi woh bichad jaye toh ek sapna lagta hai.
hey aditi, hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde tu zara
nahin toh bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura,

tu khush hai toh lage jahaan mein chaahi hai khushi
sooraj lage baadlon se aur baatein zindagi
sun toh zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi
ki aditi log bichadte hain ek na ek din fir mil jate
aditi jaane tu ya jaane na phool fir khil jate hain.
kabhie kabhie aditi zindagi mein yunhin koi apna lagta hai.
kabhie kabhie aditi woh bichad jaye toh ek sapna lagta hai.
hey aditi, hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde tu zara
nahin toh bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura,
hey aditi, hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde tu zara
nahin toh bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
hey aditi, hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde hansde tu zara
nahin toh bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura………

Tu Bole Main Boloon (4:36)
Playback: A R Rahman

tu bole glass aadha khaali, main bolun aadha bhara,
main bolun kitna saara, tu bole zara sa,
main bolun din hai toh, tu bole raat nahin ,
baat toh wahi hai na, bas wahi baat nahin,
baat toh hai bas yehi ke, meri baat bas,
jaane tu, jaane tu, ya jaane,
maane tu, maane tu, ya maane na,
jaane tu, jaane tu ya jaane na,
maane tu, maane tu ya maane na

tu soche yeh zindagi, yeh na badlegi kabhie,
main sochun sab badalta hai, tu na badlegi kabhi
main sochun tu hi tu, mera koi aur nahin
tu soche, main hun tera, bas tera koi aur nahin,
koi aur ho ya na ho, tu hai main hun bas,
jaane tu, jaane tu, ya jaane,
maane tu, maane tu, ya maane na,
jaane tu, jaane tu ya jaane na,
maane tu, maane tu ya maane na,

Kahin To Hogi Hi (5:05)
Playback: Rashid Ali, Vasundhara Das

kahin toh, kahin toh, hogi woh,
duniya jahaan tu mere saath hai,
jahaan main, jahaan tu,
aur jahaan bas tere mere jazbaat hain,
hoti jahaan subah teri, palkon ki kirnon mein,
lori jahaan chaand ki, sune teri baahon mein,
jaane na kahaan woh duniya hai..
jane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin
jaane na kahaan woh duniya
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahan mri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin

saansein kho gayi hain kiski aanhon mein,
main khogayi hun jane kiski baahon mein,
manzilon se rahein dhundhti chali,
aur kho gayi hai manzil kahin raahon mein

kahin toh, kahin toh, hai nasha,
teri meri har mulaqat mein
hothon se, hothon ko,
chumte rehte hai hum har baat mein
kehti hain fiza jahaan
meri zameen aasmaan
jahaan hai tu, meri hansi,
meri khushi, meri jaaan
jaane na kahaan woh duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin…
jaane na kahaan woh duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
jahaan meri zindagi mujhse
itni khafa nahin…

The track also consists of the song Pappu Cant Dance and it’s remix which is supposed to be based on Aamir’s real life buddy Salman Khan.

Other songs include:

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai (3:41)
Runa Rizvi

Nazrein Milaana Nazrein Churaana ( 3:57)
Swetha Bhargave, Naresh Iyer, Satish Chakravarthye, Tanvi, Darshana, Benny Dayal, Anupama Deshpande

The trailers give the film a light and extremely young-fun feel. Let’s hope like all other Aamir Khan films, this one turns out to be a feast, this time, a heartening college romance! Not to forget Imran’s chocolatey good looks! I’m definitely watching out for this one! 🙂
