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 [...]

The terribly predictable templates of Tujh mein rab and Haule haule are extremely annoying - but the earthy simplicity in both, along with heartfelt lyrics in the former just about salvages both tracks. Dance pe chance follows the long line of Punju-infused dancy tracks - pitiably humdrum. The nostalgic medley Phir milenge chalte chalte is [...]

Dostana is one of those mixed bag soundtracks that has Vishal and Shekhar sticking to their familiar, tried and tested sounds. So, while we have a bouncy Jaany kyun with fab vocals by Vishal, we also have a terribly cringe-worthy Desi girl! Saleem’s Ma da laadla is good fun with catchy hooks, while Shut up [...]

The cheekily titled Fashion ka jalwa has a calculated catchiness with the right tempo to go with it, while Shruti Pathak’s throaty crooning in Mar jawaan is brilliantly appropriate even as the ambient tune and backgrounds completely envelopes you. Mohit Chauhan and Neha Bhasin do their magic in Kuchh khaas, whose tune seems to be [...]

The title song has an intriguing structure which the composer reigns in admirably - his unconventional voice only adds to the novelty. Khushi’s jazz appeal is overshadowed by the ambling tune, while the very catchy Oop cha, despite that Pritam-like sound, has enough variations from Dhruv to call it his own. Bandagi is the real [...]

Aaja milke’s tune is haunting and even that seemingly standard rhythm builds up quite impressively. Shail and Shreya Ghosal are in fabulous form crooning this one. The techno-pathos in Bin daseyaa and Kithe jawa is tiresome, despite those punchy orchestration. Even Dukh ke badri is rather monotonous with false pretensions of an ornate sound. Gola [...]

Let’s party is a lame attempt at the Shankar Ehsaan Loy kind of music, while the title song is an irritating mess. The Aati kya khandala knock-off with the Malad angle, Tujhe aksa beach ghuma doon is surprisingly neat with a childishly catchy tune! Neeraj Shridhar sounds unlike his usual ebullient self in the stylish [...]
