Karthik, a few questions

1. Is Aggar’s music better than Aksar’s?
2. I couldn’t help remembering The Train’s music while watching the promos. Is it similar to The Train in any way?

Aggar is as good as, if not a notch below Train. The sound is very similar which I’d attribute to Mithoon’s own unique style.

We’ve seen 2 of his styles so far - the cleaner, evolved one in Anwar and the largely loung’ish, mod one in Train/ Aggar/ BEP etc. Hope to see more!

“ke bin tere” is the only one that remains in mind after hearing the album… but most of the music arrangements done in this album is same as what was used for TRAIN.. thats why it sounds similar.. another reason is that, mithoon shud start using different singers rather than sticking to shilpa, kshitij… if not, his songs start sounding similar……

i guess mithoon is also falling into teh trap of singing his songs (atleast 1), in all his movies….its not a good sign… rather than being a shanker mahadevan, its better he chooses to be rahman and sing selected few…..

rakesh: Possibly. But frankly, I was kinda disappointed when I heard the promos. But, listening to the entire soundtrack, I was personally a lot satisfied. However, I do expect Mithoon to branch out to other types of music.

I also think, considering both Train and Aggar are produced by the Bajajs, the songs may have been scored together as a package. In fact, if you interchange the tracks between both the films, I do not think there’ll be any impact Which perhaps explains the similar sound.

I think they are a notch below The Train but good. None seemed instantly catchy. As some of you have noted the sound has a sameness that Mithoon might want to avoid in the future.

Amazing soundtrack. Ke Bin Tere obviously sticks out as the keynote song on the album, but for me, the song that might get the most play value for me is Paas Aaya Kyon - awesome arrangements, great singing, and the feel of the song takes me close to the feel I had when I first heard Tose Naina Lagey and Maula Mere. Slight complaint about this song - Mithoon sounds great, almost Rahman-ish in parts (during thee “Pyaar Mehsoos Kyon Hone Laga Gunaaho Sa” line), but at times, he sound like he’s trying to sing like Atif Aslam?

Why doesn’t Atif Aslam work with Mithoon anymore anyway? Tere Bin and Kuch Is Tarah (not to mention Woh Lamhe and Aadat that Mithoon rearranged) were amazing tracks.

Atif aslam has a contract with TIPS which forbids him for recording with other labels.. tht is why both train n aggar did not feature atif aslam

Mithoon seems to be in awe of Atif’s vocals. While he himself sings on that range, he made Abhijeet Sawant tread that in Junoon’s Ek shaks too!

Bingo on that Rahman-ish angle, Rishi. I was thinking about that too!!!
