Marjaani is a thumping, high-energy item song, but Love mera hit hit is Pritam pushing his luck - age-old hooks and stock rhythm. Neeraj is much better in the relatively slower [...]

Guest composers - the Vyas Brothers, Sandeep and Sanjeev pitch in with a racy, techno ditty in Mit Jaaye, sung with verve by Sandeep.
