Dus and Jaaniya are loaded with sloppy, uninspiring techno sounds. Gourov Dasgupta does better in the ballad-style Aaja Soniye, with interesting vocals by Sudhanshu Pandey. Mika’s Nachle Soniye is pedestrian, while Gourov’s last, O Maahiya sounds pretty groovy. Bappa’s Mushkil kushaa is outdated with only Kshitij’s voice to hold on to, and Kaala peela is marginally better of the two Shafqat composed tracks. Anand Raaj Anand scores with a pleasant Bin tum but his other, Bhula diya barely registers. The third CD with actors reciting Gulzar’s heartfelt poems amidst serene ambient music is infinitely better than this 4 composer soundtrack.

Note: Mushkil kushaa is by Bappa Lahiri, Bappida’s son. The two Shafqat Ali Khan composed tracks have been ‘produced’ by him as well. Thanks to Arun who pointed this. Post edited appropriately.
