Prasoon Joshi vs Javed Akhtar
I listened to the music of London Dreams about 20 days back and mildly liked it. Some tracks like Tapkey Masti and Khanabadosh are good. The one thing that consistently stood out throughout the album was the superlative lyrics. And coming from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, i assumed that Javed Akhtar has come out with a winner this time. Yes, his Jodhaa Akbar and Rock On!! were good but i think he went overboard and repetitive sometimes.
And now i discover that London Dreams is penned by Prasoon Joshi, not Javed Akhtar, which kind of explains the awesomeness of lines like “Ho Masti Jamun Si” and “Neend ko Aag de/Khwab ko Raag de”.
