21
year
old
Mithoon
has
replaced
Himesh
Reshammiya
as
a
sole
composer
for
Raksha
Mistry
-
Hasnain
Hyderabadwala
film
Train.
Produced
by
Aksar
producers
Shyam
and
Narendra
Bajaj,
the
film
stars
Emraan
Hashmi
in
the
lead
along
with
Geeta
Basra
and
India's
entry
for
Miss
World
2005
-
Sayali
Bhagat.
Over
to
Raksha
Mistry
to
know
what
exactly
transpired?
"It's
hardly
controversial
dear",
she
says
sans
any
tone
of
remorse,
"Himesh
was
trying
his
level
best
to
arrive
at
the
film's
music
but
he
has
been
keeping
extremely
busy
and
has
just
been
out
of
his
over
commitments.
His
coming
days
are
extremely
hectic
too
with
so
many
things
happening
in
his
life.
He
is
coming
as
a
hero
in
a
film
which
is
keeping
him
quite
tied
up."
Hasn't
that
resulted
in
her
movie
suffering,
especially
with
more
than
50%
of
the
film
being
shot?
"But
then
it
won't
be
fair
on
our
part
too
to
make
him
complete
his
work
in
quick
time
if
we
all
are
working
in
strict
timelines",
she
defends.
"This
is
when
we
thought
of
Mithoon,
whose
songs
we
heard
in
'Bas
Ek
Pal'.
'Tere
Bin'
has
been
an
unbelievable
composition
and
we
had
been
hearing
great
things
about
him
even
before
the
album's
release.
He
had
worked
with
Mukesh
Bhatt
earlier
for
'Zeher'
and
'Kalyug'
and
Bhatt
saab
was
clear
in
saying
that
if
you
want
something
new
in
your
film,
remember
that
Mithoon
is
just
round
the
corner.
We
always
remembered
that
and
hence
offered
the
film
to
Mithoon
as
soon
as
we
realized
that
Himesh
won't
be
able
to
accommodate
the
project",
she
explains.
But
what
happens
to
the
ever
successful
Emraan-Reshammiya
'jodi'?
"That's
true,
we
do
regret
not
having
the
superhit
team
of
Aksar
together
[Bajajs,
Hashmi
and
Reshammiya],
but
we
are
hoping
that
we
are
able
to
do
that
some
other
time",
she
says.
"See,
let's
not
really
accuse
Himesh
here
since
he
hadn't
signed
the
film
in
the
first
place.
Yes,
it
was
a
verbal
commitment
and
that
too
coming
from
the
fact
that
he
had
worked
with
almost
all
Bajaj
films
in
last
5-6
years
and
hence
out
of
goodwill,
it
was
expected
that
he
would
be
a
part
of
Train
too.
But
then
in
this
case,
poor
chap
is
genuinely
very
busy."
"Good
part
is
that
it
was
only
20
odd
days
back
when
Mithoon
was
intimated
about
the
project
and
though
he
is
concentrating
hard
to
arrive
at
the
soundtrack,
he
has
given
us
two
songs
already
that
were
so
crucial
for
the
Bangkok
shoot.
While
one
song
is
for
the
film's
climax,
another
is
a
part
of
the
background
score",
she
says
gleefully
while
shifting
topic
to
Mithoon.
And
has
Mithoon
lived
up
the
expectations?
"Oh,
very
much.
We
really
love
his
work
and
it
is
heartening
to
see
that
the
young
boy
is
so
focused.
He
has
so
much
in
him
to
be
explored.
We
have
6
songs
in
the
film
and
for
the
remaining
4
he
has
understood
the
situation
and
would
give
them
to
us
once
we
return
from
Bangkok.
He
is
truly
in
swing
of
things
already!",
she
says
excitedly
as
she
lauds
the
boy.
Now
since
Mithoon
has
come
in
place
of
Reshammiya,
how
different
would
the
songs
sound?
"See,
we
loved
the
songs
in
'Woh
Lamhe'.
It
had
one
of
those
emotional
soundtracks
that
haunts
you
for
long.
For
a
film
like
Train
too
we
wanted
songs
belonging
to
a
similar
class
and
feel.
Well,
even
if
Himesh
would
have
done
the
score,
we
would
have
asked
him
to
create
something
unusual,
something
different
from
what
we
have
heard
of
him
in
last
1
year
or
so.
There
wasn't
a
place
for
any
'jhichaak'
score
that
he
is
so
famous
for.
In
fact
even
tough
the
team
would
have
been
same
as
Aksar,
we
were
not
looking
at
a
score
like
that
with
only
one
club
number.
Remaining
tracks
in
the
film
are
meant
to
be
more
melodious.
Something
which
is
Sufi,
something
which
is
Oriental
since
the
film
has
a
substantial
portion
in
Bangkok,
something
that
comes
across
as
world
music!
We
are
sure
Mithoon
would
give
us
all
what
we
want",
she
explains
in
a
single
breath.
With
an
'emotional'
subject
like
Train,
who
is
the
person
behind
all
the
writing?
"Sayeed
Quadri",
pat
comes
the
reply,
"He
is
such
a
darling?
You
won't
believe
me
but
he
is
so
very
cheerful,
humorous
and
jolly
in
real
life.
Why
do
I
say
that?
Because
if
one
looks
at
his
writing,
it
has
so
much
of
depth
with
most
of
it
being
sheer
poetry
about
love,
emotions
and
relationships."
So
how
is
the
film
shaping
up?
"As
I
said,
we
are
already
through
with
more
than
50%
of
the
shoot
and
leave
for
Bangkok
tonight.
We
would
be
back
by
end
of
November
and
after
about
a
couple
of
days
shooting
in
Mumbai
for
the
climax,
the
film
would
be
complete.
While
Emraan
is
already
a
seasoned
performer
now,
Geeta
has
definitely
improved
further
in
her
second
film.
Sayali
Bhagat
is
a
sweetheart
too
and
has
a
meaty
role
that
would
get
her
noticed.
About
the
film,
if
you
see
a
title
like
Train,
it
conveys
a
lot
of
things.
It
says
that
if
unfortunately
some
things
get
screwed
up
in
your
life,
you
may
tend
to
fall
off
the
tracks.
But
later
becomes
even
more
difficult
to
get
back
on
the
'patri',
howsoever
harder
you
may
try",
she
says
before
signing
off.
