Despite the 80s arrangements, and both Udit and Shreya sounding very 80’ish themselves, the melody in Maine hawa ke paron pe is endearing! The title song however just meanders and is painfully boring. Shamma shamma uses one of Vidyasagar’s chartbuster Tamil songs as a base but sounds pretty routine in Hindi. The soundtrack is largely salvaged by the very tuneful bidaai track, Jaana hai tujhko, sung with amazing grace by Alka and guest composer Tauseef Akhtar’s rhythmic, Pritam-styled, Ishq subhan allah, with the ever-dependable Neeraj Sridhar’s groovy vocals! Starting with zilch expectations, Mere baap’s soundtrack surprises with 3 decent tracks!
