I felt exactly the same. Infact, i thought this was the case with Shiva too...

for starters "I have listened to the soundtrack which was released a couple of days ago. This soundtrack is the first for a Hindi film by South Indian composer Ilaiyaraja. I am sadly completely ignorant of South Indian cinema but I understand that Ilaiyaraja has composed the music for more than 850 films, and is widely revered as one of India's greatest film composers. Listening to *Cheeni kum*'s soundtrack, I can see why - and I hope that Ilaiyaraja's first Hindi film is not his last. The songs are fresh and playful, melodic and cohesive, with a sound that is both cinematic and intimate. An excellent soundtrack! I just love it - it's mellow, haunting, and lovely. "

I think IR is breaking through in Hindi with this album!

watch the clippings of "Jaane Donaa" above! Balki has done aesthetic justice to IR's timeless melody! something tells me this is going to be a winner

and yes, by all means, am expecting a sumptous piano based treat from IR for CK's BGM - listening to the opening notes played in the above link, gives me nostalgic goosebumps from "Geethanjali" days!

yow....geethanjali title Oda 50% raja kuduththAlum, I will be happy.

PS: I'm in SJ. Pls mail me your contacts.

Wow too many positive reviews coming out from north is elating :)
At last a Film that can break the barriers is what i expect

Great album from Ilayaraja. I liked all the songs and I sincerly wish Raja had used better percussions.

Instrumental tracks are also too good. Instead of having two versions of Baatein Hawa, the director could have opted for a fresh track.

8/10 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
