Romesh Sharma is the one who produced the late Mukul Anand directed murder-mystery hit, 'Aitbaar', during the mid 80s. But he is more famous for his cameo in Amitabh Bachchan's 'Hum', especially the hilarious cockroach scene. Romesh Sharma is now ready to launch his handsome son Karan with 'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' and has also roped in his friend Amitabh for an important role.

'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' also boasts of the talented Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy as the music composers and numero uno lyricist Javed Akhtar. For any newcomer to make a mark with his first movie the music has to play an important role, as has been demonstrated by 'Bobby',' Love Story', 'Betaab', 'QSQT', 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai' etc. Let us now check out and see if SEL who along with Javed Akhtar have given us some memorable scores ('Dil Chahta Hai' and 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'), can provide Karan the perfect launch pad.

The title track 'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' is indeed a very good fusion of melody and rhythm and it seems like Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy want to take us back to the bylines of 'Dil Chahta Hai', as the hangover its title track looms heavily on this otherwise very pleasant song. Orchestra plates and drums accompany the song throughout. Shaan is excellent as he modulates his voice (maybe) to suit that of Karan and goes "Dil jo bhi kahey maney, Ab hum bhi tum bhi bas pyar ko pehchaney." Dominique, who has been given the English lyrics, fails to keep pace with Shaan's vibrant, youthful singing. Maybe SEL should have gone for Suzanne.
