The music launch of the Bhojpuri film Gangotri --starring Amitabh Bachchan [Images] and Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari -- tuned out to be much ado about not much.

Incidentally, this is the first time that a film's music has been launched after the movie's release.

The Bachchans were there, albeit for a few minutes only. In fact, Amitabh was on stage for just five minutes, joined by son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai [Images].

One could not but help wonder if they were there just as a favour to Amitabh's makeup man Deepak Sawant, who has produced Gangotri.

Manoj Tiwari, meanwhile, entertained the audience with his singing skills.
