Jheeni jheeni puts composer Shantanu Moitra in a strange predicament – it is instantly likeable; has excellent choice of singers (Bhupinder and Hamsika Iyer) and an almost dream-like orchestration and a ghazal’ish tune. The predicament is that the rest of the soundtrack pales in comparison. Bhai re seems like a stale leftover from Moitra’s earlier soundtracks, while the monotonous annoyance of the title song is indeed monotonously annoying. Dekho ji dekho escapes the predicament mildly – thanks to the hyper-energetic singing of a rather conventional middle eastern tune. Shantanu Moitra’s form is, barring Jheeni, questionable, in Phir Kabhi. One trick…!
