<span class=normal>First director Maneesh Sharma<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Maneesh is remarkably talented. Just as I would like to believe that I was born to act, I believe Maneesh was born to direct. He is a great story-teller and whats most amazing about him is that his vision of the story which he wants to tell is crystal clear. He is also very young just like the whole team of Band Baaja Baaraat and his energy on sets is tremendously infectious. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Working in a Yash Raj film<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>To get a chance to work in a Yash Raj film and that too in your first film is truly amazing. They take care of you really well and in fact pamper you to the hilt. They make you so comfortable that the only thing that you have to worry about is doing your own job right. Having Adi Sir as the producer of my debut film is a great boon for me as he is vastly experienced. He is a great guide and I know that I will only get the best possible advice from him. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Music of Band Baaja Baaraat<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The music of Band Baaja Baaraat is simply outstanding. Without sounding biased, I think that it is the strongest album of the year- music wise. Its got 9 songs out of which 2 are remixes. Tarkeebein is a song that has already connected with the youth in a big way, its become like a youth anthem of sorts. This fun song takes you down memory lane, and reminds you just how much fun college was. Using Benny Dayals voice for this song is also a master-stroke by Salim- Sulaiman. The shaadi-wala song Ainvayi Ainvayi is also fast gaining popularity and is one of my favourite songs. Another song which I really love is Dum Dum which is a Sufi song. The energy in the song is such that it can put you in a trance. Even Mitra is a beautiful rock ballad with excellent lyrics. These 4 songs I simply cant stop listening. </span>
