1. Ishq Tere Jalwe --------------------------------------------- 6/10
This is a total Bheegi Bheegi from Gangster remade, recomposed. Although, Bheegi Bheegi is better for it's novelty (not originality, because we all know where Pritam got the tune from), this song picks up after a slow opening. Pretty decent song, but open to individual taste. Javed Ali slightly disappoints, whereas Shilpa Rao is not cut out for high pitched tunes.
2. Dil Dar-Ba-Dar ---------------------------------------------- 6/10
This song has pretty good beats and tempo. Very Bollywood indeed. However, this is a kind of track which you have heard in every other album. Despite it's likability, the song is cliche.
3. Kaise Kahein Alvida ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
Indian classical music connoisseurs will like it. Even not so much fans of this genre should find it pretty calming. Now this is Javed Ali's forte.
4. Yeh Saali Zindagi (Duet) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10
Pretty good duet. Melodious. Has good beats. But the lyrics kill it. Sunidhi Chauhan should sing more songs like this.
Final verdict: Overall, a decent album with not many surprises. Definitely has the stamp of a good musician. Just not impressive enough.

1. Bandagi ------------------------------------------- 7/10
It feels like the Bollywood musicians have started finally figuring out the grunge rock music puzzle. This genre never meant a cacophony of bass guitar, throbbing drums and screeching voices complaining to the whole wide world, which has mostly been the case in Bollywood so far. This track however gets it all in a harmony. Full marks to the musician.
That's pretty much to the album. Rishta Bano is decent but is about advising us, while Hausalah (I Wanna Live Once More) is good but conveys a suicidal mood, which is never welcome.
Final verdict: Not bad. Good rock track in Bandagi.

Music: Dev-Vijay
Another debutant music duo? Maybe. Good luck to them, as they have had a not so bad start.
1. Kya Kahoon Tumse ------------------------------------ 7/10
As the song begins, the natural reaction is 'Sigh! Another Shaan track. He's not so cool anymore'. But wait, don't completely dismiss him yet. A pretty good track that reminds us of his heydays. Give him a chance again.
2. Nachenge Saari Saari Raat ------------------------- 6/10
A pretty good by the new music duo, with Sunidhi Chauhan unsurpisingly (because she is a voice of most second-rung movies nowadays) lending her voice. They prove all the naysayers wrong. Not a great song, but definitely will not make anyone feel like they are listening to some trash. It would be in fact interesting, if this song is put in one of the mainstream movies.
3. Yaar Ye Waham --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10
What a rip-off of Aashiq Banaya Aapne's title track. The lead voice is not so great to pull it off though. Not bad, but no one can replace the legendary HR.
This rounds up a week of not-so-bad music.
