Its ‘Jim Reeves’ romantic track for Malani’s Cine-Maa!

Romance is just not the flavor for Valentine’s but it’s for all seasons in Malani’s films. Romance and love tracks has always been the USP for Sandeep Malani’s films. And it has to be noted that he gets a pure classic English track in his films. Be it SMS 6260 wherein two English tracks were composed for the film, and so be it Miss California, in which a Waltz number was used. Also for the Kannada film, Julie; the famous My Heart is Beating was repeated with his own style of beats recomposed. Ditto for his Hindi film Janleva 555, there was a total romantic Birthday track with waltz, jive, rock and salsa picturised on the entire starcast. And now, coming to Yeh CineMaa Hai, Sandeep Malani has got the famous Jim Reeve’s track ‘Welcome to my world’ the cover version sung and composed by Carl Correa.

Welcome to my world

The track by Jim Reeves, has been sung and music (re arranged) by Mangalorean Carl Correa, who has his base both in Mangalore and in Dubai as he keeps flying up and down every week managing his crave for baking. He runs a cake shop with the name ‘Crave’ in Mangalore. And his crave also has been for music, and one of his many tracks that he composed is ‘Welcome to my world’ which has been used in Malani’s Yeh Cinemaa Hai for the scene that has the song in the background which is based on romance and bonding of the artists.

The Bonding of the Characters

The sequence begins with Sonam and Varun being cozy at home talking about love and life while the bell rings and Varun opens the door for a surprise guest waiting on the other side. Deepika and Ranveer enter the home, as Sonam hugs Deepika and introduces as her would be sister in law. 

While Varun and Deepika greet; Sonam and Ranveer are happy too. Deepika being a modern girl of today’s generation still has high regards on family values. She respects and honors her fiance’ Ranveer’s departed mother’s portrait. And as they all settle down – thank each other for the little for being helpful, supportive and cooperation that through a small misunderstanding because of Shahid; who Varun had assumed that was having an affair with his sweetheart Sonam, was actually a gay. So, there ends the confusion and the foursome are happy being together once again. While the entire sequence is going on, the track is being played in the background – thus giving the scene a beautiful meaning.

The Cast and The Crew

The scene features Shubha Raksha as Sonam, Ranjeet Jha as Varun, Sharanya Jit Kaur as Deepika and Mahendra Pandey as Ranveer. It’s Mann Hora who is been referred to

as the gay, Shahid through his pictures. Cherrie Ash, has been sweet enough to lend her voice for Shubha Raksha.
