What's common between Singham, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Murder 2 and Double Dhamaal, four films that have released in quick succession? The obvious one is that each of them has turned out to be huge money spinner at the box office. The second common factor is that none of them has boasted of a chartbuster soundtrack that could have turned out to be the USP of the film. Yes, a couple of them did have a few exciting tunes but by and large there wasn't any memorable tune that could make one say that - 'Gaana achha tha isliye picture hit ho gayi'. This trend (which has a few other predecessors in the first half of the year as well) made me wonder yet again that 'Can hit (or flop) music really make or break a film?' Let's explore in this week's 'Reflections' Read Full : Reflections - Picture Hit only if Music Fit? - Not really
