Best Soundtrack

Heres the first award, which is for the Best Soundtrack, and which quite deservingly goes to Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na! The films music was composed by none other than music maestro A.R. Rahman himself. The soundtrack of this film swayed back the listeners to a nostalgic trip of the melodious Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak days! Even though the chartbuster track Aditi (sung by the debutante Rashid Ali) got itself the honour of being hailed as the sweet love anthem, all the other tracks in the album equally struck the right chord with the listeners.

When Bollywood Hungama spoke to the legendary Rahman himself about this achievement, he said, It feels really good when the hard work and sincerity one puts in a song is appreciated. Thanks to your website (www.bollywoodhungama.com) and all the voters for the love and the awards.

While Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na walked away with the top honours, we have the first runner up in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (with Salim Sulaiman as its composers) and the second runner up in Ghajini (Rahman again!). Even though the talented duo of Salim-Sulaiman faced some early criticism, they sailed their way into the hearts of the listeners Haule Haule.

On the other hand, when you have the divine magical fingers of Rahman calling the (musical) shots in Ghajini, one can never go wrong on the tracks that simply gets (read mesmerizes) the listeners under its sway.

Based on the votes provided by our surfers and the validation done by us, the Award for the Music Company of the Year goes to T-Series. While the Award for the Music Director of the Year goes to A.R.Rahman.
