She's directing a film based on a short story by Kartar Singh Duggal.
It's always a pleasure to write songs for children.
Speaking of Meghna, proud papa Gulzar is delighted that she's directing her next film for Sanjay Gupta's production house.

Now this comes as a bigger surprise, since a couple of years back, Amitabh Bachchan wasn't much happy with the song Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli which was again sung by Shankar Mahadevan.
We agreed, but Shaad Ali and Aditya Chopra were happy with the song and they convinced Amitabh too.

The film apparently has a breathtaking sequence where Rai dances (for Abhishek Bachchan [ Images ]) with the City Palace, Jaipur [ Images ], where the film has been shot, as the backdrop.....Merchant met with stiff opposition from her family when she announced her choreographing plans.....Indeed, the song done without any lip-synching on the part of the lead actors was beautifully conceived.....Like her namesake on stage, Merchant too had to overcome a deeply traditional family in order to make it big in th ...

A considerably lower-key Javed Ali, who provided the male vocals for the memorable Aishwarya Rai-Amitabh Bachchan-Abhishek Bachchan item number "Kajra Re" in last summer's smash Bunty aur Babli (Bunty and Babli) , paved the way for another nice surprise; when time came for him to perform that hit song, joining him on female vocals was none other than Parekh herself, and she more than held her own against Ali. ...

the movie will be a fun filled ride....The direction in the movie is EXCELLENT.....The hype surrounding BUNTY AUR BABLI was TREMENDOUS for a number of reasons.......The story by Aditya Chopra is well written keeping in mind what the movie is trying to achieve..... ... Full Review

The movie tries too hard for its own good....'Bunty Aur Babli' is a perfect example of a brilliant idea gone horribly wrong because of poor execution and an overzealous desire to please..... ... Full Review

It sounds not the least formulistic when Sonu Nigam and Mahalaxmi Iyer sound so much in love in the track.....Funny how in no time at all, Sunidhi matches steps with seasoned male vocalists.... ... Full Review

they are played by the very special Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee.....It's regrettable that the film's deeper darker beyond-caper thrusts get drowned in the din of dusty retribution in the second half.....Indeed Rani Mukherjee and Abhishek Bachchan transform into the deviously self-gratifying heist-makers with a feisty passion..... ...

In a way, Bunty Aur Babli defies the stereotype....Despite some of the biggest names involved in this film, Bunty Aur Babli fails to transport you to a world of make-believe.....Every Yash Raj film is special.....Unfortunately, Bunty Aur Babli is half as convincing as the masala entertainers of yore.....the screenplay has its interesting moments..... ...

In that sense the film totally lacks conflict in the first half which really hasn't got much going for it especially
For a caper film, the screenplay needs to be crackerjack, witty, innovative, fast moving and engrossing -- none of which Bunty Aur Babli is.
