Hello everyone.

Am currently shooting in Pondicherry, and as you see I’m shooting nights.

The music of DB is out in stores now and I am so excited because I am really happy with the way the sound track has turned out. Please give me feedback, I’m very keen to know what you guys feel. But can I request you not to listen to it on pirated CDs or on websites who put up pirated versions.

Ram Sampat has done some truly inspired work, and so have the various lyric writers. Each track is a gem. After really long I think its an album you would want to own.

And can someone please tell me how Jamila is doing?

Just bought Delhi Belly CD on itunes. Will give it a listen.

You say Dhobi Ghat has not released on DVD yet? But I watched it
on Netflix, and as far as I know they only air what's available
on DVD!!

BTW,Aamir

i also believe that we should not to listen to pirate dvds.but
what about country like mine who even dont release dvds even
after so long?? and also we dont have any release for hindi
movies. which is very SAD :-(( i usually order dvds from abroad
but thats too difficult. as a loyal fan would like to watch
originals ONLY

Love

Hello Aamir. Still in Pondy, i'm guessing. And thanks for the
response from you--started t he day with a smile and laugh!

OK, you seriously need to read this rant, about slow
availability / non availability of DB cds. Incidentally--it's
written by a gentleman from my city--Chennai. Actually he
occasionally comments here too!

Cant wait to lay my hands on the DG DVD...hope Kiran has done the
director's commentary because thats what I'd really like to
watch/listen to...looking forward to her next one
btw did I tell you that my 13 year old loved DG...appreciation
comes from least expected quarters sometimes :)

and oh yes the merriam-webster states that the first known use of
the term Delhi Belly was in 1943(?) and in 2011 the world gets
to know its real meaning???...lol

Hi to all regualars who were patiently lurking in the wings and
have all come out in full glory with the arrival of the blog
host...Karan, Eles, PKg, Nasrin...n more....and yes hope to see
Jamila here soon , too...Insha Allah!

Posted on May,29,2011 at 10:34 PM

Hi Ashu, DG DVD is at a work in progress stage. We are not happy with the visual quality of the master so we might go in for remastering! Sometimes I wonder whether its even worth it to work so hard on all this when more than half the people buy the pirated DVD in any case, or download it from some illegal site. But I guess those of you who care make it worth our while. And the fact is that some of us love our work so much that we do all this just for ourselves. And yes she has done a directors commentary.

Hey there, Dear Blog Host! :-)

Good to see you active on your blog again!

I wish you would know of all the great things that have grown out
of your blog. The wonderful friendships that have formed and the
great experiences made. Things that would never have taken place
without you and your blog. It's just so sad you can't participate
and get your share of the great spirit that you initiated.

And regarding what Tabby just wrote, ... please do pa.ss on that
thing about Thun and it's gorgeous lake to Kiran! As she might
just think about dropping by on the 19th! ;-)

Lots of love, as always
PkG! :-)

Hi Aamir

Great to hear that you are working very hard ;) Just heard the
music for Delhi Belly courtesy of the Swiss Rose (aka PKG) who
was downloading from iTunes whilst I was listening in the
background! Swiss efficiency at its best :) I think the Rock
track was funky. Courtesy of PKG, I've been keeping up to date
with DB. Good luck with the shooting and once you finish with
shooting in Pondicherry, ask PKG to show you around Lake Biel and
Giessbach - you will be in for a real treat. BTW, she makes a
fantastic tour guide.

Keep well and take care

Hi Aamir,

Just bought DB music on itunes. Am now listening to it on ipod
and love the mix of loungy, groovy, rock and more traditional
sounds.
Actually, I think you and Steve Jobs have quite a few
similarities;-)

Sleep well or enjoy riding a bike in sunrise Pudu as Karann
suggested!

Aamir, I was going through some of your responses and you
mentioned that Dhobi Ghat DVD was NOT released yet. Well I live
in the U.S. and I watched it on Netflix last night (it was
terrific!!). I'm confused now cuz I thought movies release on DVD
then Nelflix. Can you help clear this up? Thanks.

Hi Aamir,

Nice to read u and hope you're having fun shooting in Pondi;-)
I have a dilemma, I ordered DG online through Dutch webshop,
where I got almost all your movies. For the first time I have the
feeling that the DVD is not legal. I asked about it and they
replied that there is not a European distributor who brought it
out, so it is a legal import version from India...But there is a
small picture on the back of the cover of u in Ghajini song,
that's strange, right? Help me out here. How do I know if this or
any DVD is legal?

Goodnight Aamir and the rest of the bloggingbunch.

@ Karann, forgot to thank you for translation of DK Bose song,
thank you!

Reply from Aamir Khan

Posted on May,29,2011 at 10:23 AM

Well, the Dhobi Ghat DVD has not been released yet. So any DG DVD you buy is pirated. The official DVD should be out in a month.

Lolz and rofl!!!!! Kept hearing the songs all day in car with
family......and my husband had been winking at me all the time I
wondered why.....finally I got it! The DK..Bose I mean ;-)
How did you manage to get it thru the censor board? Then I burst
out ''Oh no" and laughed aloud.....much to the puzzled amusement
on my kids' face! Looking forward to watching it. Is it safe to
watch it with teens and tweens?

Well, the film has abusive language and is rated 18 and above.

and films together. Will this risque DB be ok? I think it can't
be all THAT risque. What say?

Karann--so you've loved the music? I'm yet to listen to all. Have
heard 3. Loved Saigal song--psychedlic rock cum purana Hindi

I have read a lot in recent days about the music of Delhi Belly
and me the music video "Bhaag DK Bose" considered. It gave me
much I like think it's great mega. Above all times really rock
:-). The soundtrack is still there, unfortunately not in Germany.
Under which label for the soundtrack released and will it also
appear in Europe? Is there any way the original CDs to get from
India?

Much love to you and Kiran.
