Shah Rukh at his best at the 'Don' music launch

The music of Farhan Akhtar’s movie Don was launched at a glittering function in Mumbai.

Thousands of fans had gathered at the Inorbit Mall in Malad in the suburbs of Mumbai on Saturday. The event was the release of the music of one of the most awaited movies of this year, ‘Don’, starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.

Although the function began more than an hour after its scheduled time, the crowds did not thin out. Finally, when it was quarter to seven in the evening, music composer trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy were invited on the stage by the evening’s host, radio jockey J Harsh.

The composer trio regaled the audience with the song “Morya Re”, a befitting number on the eve of the Ganesh Chaturthi.

Although the movie’s leading actress Priyanka Chopra could not make it to the function, Isha Koppikar , who plays a marginal role in the film, performed to a number on the stage.

The excitement of the fans reached its crescendo when Shah Rukh Khan, looking dapper in a black suit, walked on the stage. Shah Rukh crooned a few lines from one of the movie’s songs and also delivered a few dialogues.

One dialogue that evoked squeals of adulation from the crowd was : Don ke dushman is sabse badi galti hai ki woh don ka dushman hai. SRK’s dialogue went so well with the audience that there was a demand for an encore. The superstar humbly complied.

Shah Rukh also showed his sense of humour when speaking about the action scenes and stunts in the film. He said the movie’s director Farhan Akhtar was very considerate of his (SRK’s) age and mostly made him fight the ladies only.

SRK praised Farhan’s cinematic sensibilities and said ‘Don’ would appeal to younger generation very much.

Also present during the evening were Om Puri , producer Ritesh Sidhwani, Bhushan Kumar and Kishan Kumar of T-Series.

‘Don’ has five songs. Of these five, two are new compositions while three are altered versions of songs from the original movie Don (1978) that starred Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.

The three songs taken from the original movie are Khaike Paan Banaraswala, Main Hoon Don and Yeh Mera Dil.

‘Don’ is slated to hit the theatres in October.
