The crowd was going delirious with joy for Badshah Khan. Occasion: Music launch of his latest style flick: ‘Don’. Directed by Farhan Akhtar, this Shahrukh, Priyanka Chopra, Isha Koppikar, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Om Puri starrer is one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. A humungous crowd was gathered outside an up-market music shop in a plush suburban Mall. The security guards had a tough time dealing with the crowd frenzy. Looking at the madness outside, it was decided that SRK wouldn’t be coming there. Instead, Farhan Akhtar, father Javed Akhtar and producer Riteish Sidhwani flashed the music album of ‘Don’.

In the parking lot the excitement had touched unimaginable heights. Police were having a really tough time dealing with enthusiastic onlookers who had almost broken iron barricades to get a wee bit close to their idol who had still not descended on the stage. Music Director Trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy regaled the crowd with the catchy track ‘Moriya Re’ from the album. A Man-in-black Emcee introduced Isha Koppikar to the crowd, but the public wanted their SRK. Amidst dim lights, firecrackers, smoke and the trendy background score, King Khan made a Compelling-Entry dressed in a dashing black suit with two weeks stubble to go along with that.

Now, if you feast on SRK, then your eyes just can’t waver. His magnetic appeal is extremely gripping. He belted out a rap number that has been added onto the famous ‘Khaike Paan Banaras Wala’ (From the original ‘Don’), unleashed a few famous dialogues from the film like ‘Don Ko Maarna Mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai’ and ‘Don ke dushman ki sabse badi galti yeh hai ki voh Don ka dushman hai’ and then finally, the one everyone had been waiting for, ‘I Am The KING’. Rest of the crew came onto the stage after ‘Don himself but the Emcee made a faux pa when while introducing Farhan Akhtar, he completely forgot his first film…Answer to that is ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. And I am sure the organizers must have rapped his knuckles hard for making this blooper.

It was a brief event. As for the music of ‘Don’…Then it is trendy, hip and happening. Check it out!
