Increasingly becoming one of the most anticipated films of the year, Shah Rukh Khan's Paheli had its music launch at northwest Mumbai's Taj Land's End hotel (a few buildings away, incidentally, from SRK's villa) on Monday.

M M Kreem has composed the score, and during the colourful festivities compered by funnyman Sajid Khan, Shah Rukh said he expects the soundtrack to grow on audiences, which is why it is being released 90 days before the film itself!
