Dum Maaro Dum (2011)
Music: Pritam
Pritam! You did it again. Entertainment, melody, emotion all packed into this album, although we could have done away with 4 versions of Te Amo.
1. Te Amo (Duet) ---------------------------------------------- 9/10
2. Te Amo (Female) ------------------------------------------ 9/10
3. Te Amo (Reprise) ------------------------------------------ 9/10
4. Te Amo (Remix) -------------------------------------------- 9/10
2. Te Amo (Female) ------------------------------------------ 9/10
3. Te Amo (Reprise) ------------------------------------------ 9/10
4. Te Amo (Remix) -------------------------------------------- 9/10
Nice melody with good tempo, beats, softness and acoustics. This song demonstrates why Sunidhi Chauhan should attempt more melody than energetic tracks. The song has 4 versions, and kind of get repetitive in the context of the album. Owing to the nature of the song, the Duet sounds the best, followed by Female version by Sunidhi Chauhan. The Reprise version is truly for Mohit Chauhan fans, the song is a soliloquy without much instrumental fanfare. The Remix also sounds good, however is intended more for the DJs than anyone.
5. Thayn Thayn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/10
Probably the most exciting track of the album. A cool rap from Abhishek Bachchan will get you rocking in your car, in your cubicle, in your sleep. The gun-cocking sounds with the beats add a nice gangsta appeal. A sharp, trendy and rocking rap after a long time by Abhishek. He should definitely sing more raps than act.
6. Jiyein Kyun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8/10
One of the two songs from the movie with a sad theme, but by no means will put you to sleep or make you change the track. The opening of the song is a little slow, however picks up a splendid tempo by the middle of it. Guitarists and grunge fans will love this track.
7. Jaana Hai --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
A pretty standard track in terms of tune and beats. However, the slightly heart-broken tone of the song is it's clincher. Although, this song would have been much better if Himesh had sung it. Any takers on this point?
Overall: A great album. Gets a 8/10 overall. Bears resemblance to a number of past Pritam albums. Pity that the classic Dum Maaro Dum track was killed in this album, making it the worst track in it. Khane ka, peene ka, mast chill marne ka aur is fillum ke gaane sunne ka.

Teen Thay Bhai (2011)
Music: Sukhwinder Singh, Ranjit Barot
A completely goofy and folk style album has nothing of value in here. If you were to expand your list of funny songs, here's one for you:
- Pigeon Kabootar (Teen Thay Bhai) - Funny, interesting lyrics with foot tapping Punjabi folk beats. And who better than Daler Mehndi to add a flair to it. But again, the perspective is funny music and not a serious melody.

Happy Husbands (2011)
Music: Anay
A very, very generic album. Nothing too bad either. But it just misses to capture any attention. Out of this mediocrity the following track gets a mention:
- Aai Aai Aai Hai - It promises to be a hip track, but ends up as a confused medley of different hipper tunes.
