Music: R Anandh
A breath of fresh air. This is what this album is all about. The album on the whole is pretty likable. However, in spite of listening to the tracks in this album for a while, the songs failed to capture my heart. As I have been saying about Amit Trivedi, this album on the whole borders on being good, but just fails to make the cut. Anyhow, here are the some of the better tracks from the album:
1. Born To Fly -------------------------------- 7/10
This instrumental track is probably the best track of the album. Not to say that voiced tracks are crap, but the instrumental theme is really good, and after a long time I have heard an interesting theme track for a Bollywood movie. It terribly sounds similar to some Hollywood movie, but cannot recall which one.
2. Dhatad Tatad ----------------------------- 6/10
The title of the track pretty much sums up what the track is about. It is a total Dhatad Tatad track, replete with dhol-tasha beats and a nice blend of bass guitar. An energetic track made especially for the upcoming Ganpati festival.
3. Nain Parindey -------------------------------- 6/10
A nice and slow, but briskly paced romantic track. It has a slightly sad vibe to it.
4. Rang Daalein -------------------------------- 6/10
A gangsta track with techno beats. Does good enough to support the lyrics and the rebellious theme of the song.
5. Lafangey Parindey -------------------------- 5/10
The title track of the movie. It is a pretty flat track. The reason being the song is repetitive and not something that will be remembered two weeks from now. But deserves mention, because the effort and 80s theme mixed into the song is clearly evident. It just didn't turn out to be great.
6. Man Lafanga ------------------------------- 5/10
A pretty flat track. Mohit Chauhan could not salvage this song at all. Not a terrible piece of music, just lacks any character. The Remix is crappy.
Final verditct: Not great or poor. Get the instrumental theme and decide about the rest for yourself.

Music: Aadesh Shrivastav
Second string movie, second string music director. Second string music.
Brownie points (Aadesh Shrivastav is not so terrible after all)
- Cheers Bol - Could be a good addition to bachelor drinking party theme songs
- Kahan Ho Bhaiya - A sad and boring song, but Shankar Mahadevan is at his best when he sings emotionally charged, sorrowful songs.
