Subhash Ghai-Bhushan Kumar toast to Yuvvraaj musical success











Musical giants T Series and legendary Showman Subhash Ghai's Mukta Arts celebrated the success of Subhash Ghai's musical extravaganza Yuvvraaj at Whistling Woods on Nov 17 at 5pm. The musical celebration of this multi-starrer saw the entire cast and crew of the film descending at the venue.

The legendary showman Subhash Ghai, music mogul Krishan Kumar, stars Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan along with AR Rahman legendary lyricist Gulzar, Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal spoke on the magnificent music of the Ghai magnum opus.

"The success of the music depends upon the quality and power of music first, but more than that, it depends how it reaches to maximum people. Today we all give full marks to T-Series to make the music of Yuvvraaj heard and appreciated the world over within a month… It is their passion and love to bring Yuvvraaj on top of the charts… congrats and thanks to every member of T-Series"… said an elated Subhash Ghai.

Added an equally enthusiastic Bhushan Kumar, "We had an overwhelming response to a truly fantastic sound-track. All across the world, the music is scaling to the top of the charts. The music has worked wonders on all platforms -- physical, digital and radio stations… This Subhash Ghai-A R Rahman–Gulzarji's combo is simply superb!"

Krishan Kumar expressed his happiness at the success of the music while AR Rahman said it was only a person like Bhushan Kumar who could put the album out in the market in record time and that was laudable and the response to the music spoke of its success. Sonu Nigam and Sreya expressed their feelings about the music and even hummed a few lines. The normally elusive AR Rahman did a bit of humming himself.

Humour ruled the roost with the wisecracks of Salman boosted by Showman Ghai. Zayed Khan and Anil Kapoor played on sportingly. Katrina was pretty and emcee Siddarth Kannan did a bit of the questioning himself turning journalist on the podium.

Yuvvraaj is a musical story of a fragmented family of three brothers Set in Prague and Vienna, this musical extravaganza tells a story of two brothers Salman Khan and Zayed Khan who are in desperate need of money, and have to woo their eldest brother, Anil Kapoor to share their inherited property left by their late father. The father in his 'will' had left the entire property worth billions to his eldest son Anil Kapoor, who is mentally undeveloped, challenged for his age, and is a tough nut to crack. The leading lady Katrina Kaif is a musician and the beloved of Salman Khan in the film. She plays the catalyst in this family drama through the echo of her music.

As though to mark it Salman was presented the musical instrument from the film by Katrina, while Katrina herself was presented a painting of hers by an artist. Salman gave her the work and expressed his appreciation for the artist as well.
