If you think you have heard best of hindi music, think again! Until you hear the music of Veer Zaara, you haven't heard anything!

I am not an Indian and I don't understand Hindi. I went to see the movie because the movie trailers carried music that was divine to my ears. I believe that a true lover of music appreciates the music for itself and not just for the lyrics; hence the lyrics can be in German, Chinese or Portugees. Of course, I have to mention that the lyrics are wonderful and very, very touching (I depended on the subtitles while watching the movie)

The music of this CD/film had been created by late Mr. Madan Mohan. It is said that his son has found some 120 songs (music) after his death and these tunes have been recreated in Veer Zaara thirty years after his death (doesn't that itself sounds bit like a movie?).

If you buy the original CD set which consists of two CDs, it will be a treasure for any collector or for any hindi music/movie fan. The CD carries 9 songs from the movie VZ, and two bonus songs. The critics describe the movie, Veer Zaara as having an overdose of emotions, which is quite true. If you watch the movie, these songs will have much more meaning when you hear them.

The song `Tere Liye' by Latha Mangeshkar and Roop Kumar Rathod would undoubtedly be the most popular and has also been nominated for two awards; while my favourite being `Do pal' which makes the movie trailer of the parting couple run in my head every time I hear it.

The music... is beautiful - simply beautiful....

This soundtrack is one of the best Shahrukh Khan film soundtracks of all time. Every song has brilliant depth, great vocals, great music and great lyrics. A real representation of the quality that Indian music can have.

I was in India when the movie was released a couple of months ago, and saw and heard for myself what a buzz this movie and the songs created. The buzz was based on 2 factors. The first is that the music is based on the works of the late music director Madan Mohan, and the second was that Lata Mangeshkar who just turned 75 has sung about 9 of those songs. (I am not a big fan of Lata, I prefer Asha Bhonsle instead). Not all the songs are good, but on the whole this is a good music album.

The soundtrack of Veer-Zaara is an integral part of the wonderful epic that the movie is. I enjoy the songs, as it reflects back to the scenes in the movie. You must get the movie, too!
