Music: Pritam
Thanks! Thanks! Thank you so much Pritam. Thanks for making an appearance again. After a fair amount of time, finally we have some music that can be safely called good. It has been a drag for the past few weeks to listen to mediocre, from major to minor music composers alike.
1. Tere Bin, Tere Bin (Reprise), Tere Bin (Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 8/10
I have not really determined yet the style of Pritam's music (the reason many might know what it could be), but this track did feel a little similar to Crook's music. A soothing romantic track from Sonu Nigam, what he does best. After a while of me bashing Sonu Nigam on his choice of songs and his late marginalization amongst the current crop of singers, he silences his critics, me included with a fine piece of melody. The Reprise version by Naresh Iyer is equally good, though he likes the persuasiveness of Sonu's voice. The Remix is OK. It retains the original charm of the song, but rushes too much with the tempo which does not suit this song well.
2. Jadugiri --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
A pretty generic dreamy song, which is good enough to get your feet tapping. Gets slightly repetitive after a while. But not bad.
3. Beshuba ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6/10
Another product from the Shreya Ghoshal's sugarcane factory. You know it is just sugar. Nothing new. But you still can't help liking it. To be frank, a very generic tune, plain vanilla lyrics, but Shreya Ghoshal-Kunal Ganjawala duet works the necessary magic.
4. Abhi Kuch Dino Se ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
It seems that Mohit Chauhan has found his niche, or may be he typecasting his style of singing. This is another of his monologuing tracks, with more vocals than background music. Basically unplugged type of track. Since, I don't like this type of music with him, I was not impressed a lot. But if you are a Mohit Chauhan fan, this one is for you, without doubt.
Final verdict:
Definitely get number 1 above. 2, 3 and 4 are definitely not bad, but it's up to you. If you are looking for new songs, these are recommended.

Music: Pyarelal, RDB, Nouman Javaid, Anu Malik, Sandesh Shandilya, Rahul Seth, Sanjoy Chowdhary
A gang of musicians just like the Deol's in the movie. Either The Family was not very serious about the music for the film or not one musician could put up to a family of sardars (just kidding). The music is very open to taste with these recommendations:
1. Yamla Pagla Deewana - The remixed version by Sonu Nigam is pretty nice sounding. He definitely is making a comeback. If you liked Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, it is highly likely that you will like this one.
2. Tinku Jiya, Chamki Jawani - Add this to your Bidi Jalai Le collection. Chamki Jawani has a hilarious opening, and the beats are just awesome for some Ganpati style dance. It loses steam in the later half.
3. Sau Baar - Atif Aslam, Shreya Ghoshal romantic duet. Only for the fans. I am just shy of declaring Shreya Ghoshal a legend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music: Aravind, Shanker, Atif Aslam, Masta Justy
I see four musicians above, but I guess it was decided that it was Atif Aslam who would sing all the songs. If you are a Atif Aslam fan, go for this one. Plenty of him here. In fact, as a bonus you will also find his past chartbuster, Doorie in the album.
But for others benefit, Atif does what he does best. Screams harshly all over the place. The opening of I Wanna Have Sex is pretty slick, but overall the song is boring.
Boring album.

Music: Shekhar Ravjiani, Vishal Dadlani, Sagar Desai, Ram Sampat, Sona Mohapatra
1. Dheere Dheere ----------------------------------------- 7/10
Actually not a really bad album. Well, I did not know Vishal-Shekhar were one of the musicians, but this track has their stamp on it. Decent enough and very Anjaana Anjaani-esque.
2. Rozaana ----------------------------------------------- 6/10
Another song with Vishal-Shekhar written all over it. Not great, but when I heard this song first, it made me feel I was listening to some bank or insurance company advertisement that promises a happy life, with a family happily sauntering on a lawn depicted. Not great a song.
3. Banna Banni - This is a fun and energetic song. It dance, drama and emotion. Add this to the wedding songs collection. Not great otherwise.
Can someone tell me why Dil Diya was added to this album? It is a typical 60s classical Indian music track, totally boring for this generation, may be music to previous generation.
Overall a reasonably good album.
