Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, & Hrithik Roshan

Sony Music has finally released a taster of the K3G songs, which have premiered on RadioSargam for you to download.

Here is an exclusive review of these tasters, which are variations of the title song, giving you the first taste of this years most talked about soundtrack and movie!

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum:
This number has Lata in the upbeat version of the title track -- a great song. The lyrics, although slightly conventional, are sweet and even a little ominous. This, combined with the traditional tabla/flute instrumentals, make this a chart buster, waiting to happen!
Rating:9/10

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum (Sad Version):
The legendary Lata provides melancholic vocals to this rather haunting rendition. However, it sounds like Jatin-Lalit have done some recycling, as it sounds a tad like the chorus of 'Tujhe Dekha' from DDLJ.
Rating: 8/10

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum (Sad Version) :
Poor Sonu Nigam!!! The poor guy sounds like he's in so much pain, which just goes to show what a versatile singer he really is! He really carries the song off well, but after a while the ghum gets a bit too much.
Rating: 6/10

Soul of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum:
This is the instrumental version, with Lata starting off with her melodious voice. This is basically an assortment of what are most likely excerpts from the other 11 tracks on the album, giving us the different moods and a taste of the rest of the soundtrack.
Rating:7/10

Taster 2:
In this we hear a snippet of a conversation between real life husband-wife acting duo, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, trying to understand the difficulties and challenges in raising their son.

Unfortunately we have to wait until the 16th of October for the actual soundtrack, but something tells me that we are in for one helluva treat!
