"If
you
thought
that
the
music
of
Gangster
and
Awarapan
were
great,
look
out
for
Jannat.
It
is
out
of
this
world
and
simply
phenomenal," declares
Emraan
Hashmi
who
would
be
seeing
a
film
of
his
arriving
at
theaters
after
almost
a
year.
Though
2006
saw
Good
Boy
Bad
Boy,
The
Train
and
Awarapan
releasing
one
after
another,
it
has
been
a
sort
of
wait
for
Emraan
Hashmi
in
2008,
as
Jannat
would
be
arriving
only
in
the
month
of
May.
"We
want
the
music
as
well
as
the
film
to
be
promoted
to
an
optimum
degree," says
Emraan
who
is
actively
involved
in
the
functioning
and
progress
of
Bhatt
brothers'
Vishesh
Films.
"Awarapan
experience
has
taught
that
much
more
time
should
be
given
to
the
promotion
of
music.
It
is
nice
to
see
that
songs
like
'Maahiya',
'Tera
Mera
Rishta'
and
'To
Phir
Aayo'
are
so
popular
today.
I
guess
they
were
still
growing
up
with
people
when
the
film
got
released."
So,
what
does
the
action
plan
seem
for
Jannat.
"We
would
go
all
out
to
make
sure
that
the
music
of
Jannat
is
heard
by
everyone.
Liking
or
not
liking
it
is
audience's
prerogative
though
let
me
tell
you
that
I
am
200%
sure
about
the
music
becoming
a
big
success.
We
want
the
music
to
hit
the
peak
and
then
run
for
at
least
a
fortnight
before
the
film
arrives.
I
have
great
confidence
in
the
tunes
that
Pritam
has
created,"
reflects
Emraan
Hashmi.
"So
many
times
we
see
a
soundtrack
being
considered
as
good
but
within
the
realms
of
Bollywood
scheme
of
things
even
as
it
reaches
a
blockbuster
status.
It
is
only
after
a
few
years
that
it
becomes
a
catalogue
album,
which
registers
sales
consistently
for
over
the
years
and
is
termed
as
a
classic.
It
has
happened
in
the
past
and
you
would
see
that
happening
again.
And
Jannat
would
be
one
such
soundtrack
which
would
go
down
as
a
classic",
declares
Emraan
who
is
one
of
those
select
few
actors
who
has
at
least
a
couple
of
chartbuster
tracks
in
most
of
his
films.
What
does
the
soundtrack
comprise
of?
"There
are
around
6
songs
in
the
movie
with
number
of
added
remixes.
Which
one
is
my
favorite?
Difficult
to
choose
as
of
now!
I
guess
let
audiences
decide
it
for
themselves.
It
isn't
an
easy
task
to
create
a
score
for
a
film
like
this
which
tells
the
story
of
a
man
who
is
a
street
side
gambler
and
turns
into
a
bookie
operating
at
an
international
platform.
I
guess
the
music
and
lyrics
pretty
much
compliment
the
protagonist's
exciting
journey
in
his
quest
of
Jannat,
as
he
gets
sucked
deeper
and
deeper
into
the
world
of
cricket
and
the
nexus
associated
with
it,"
informs
Emraan.
When
contacted,
Pritam
said
modestly,
"I
am
happy
that
people
at
Vishesh
Films
are
so
confident
with
the
way
music
of
Jannat
has
turned
out
to
be."
He
concludes
with
a
smile,
"Yes,
the
songs
are
good
here
but
let
me
not
sound
overtly
excited
in
a
similar
way.
I
would
wait
for
the
audience
to
give
their
final
verdict."
