Music: Chirantan Bhatt
1. Jaaniya ----------------------------------------------------- 7/10
One of the many songs of this album with a repentent mood. The good part is all such songs are good, and the husky voice of Sidharth Basrur does good justice to this one. The track starts out slow, however doesn't take forever to get into it's groove. The tempo is just about right, while the song manages a perfect balance between softness and passion. The stop-n-go breaks between verses are also spot on.
2. Mujhe De De Har Gham Tera ------------------------ 7/10
Another song by Sidharth Basrur, very much like Jaaniya, perfectly blends soft tracks and right amount of energy. Soothing to the ears, the song never gets any close to trying too hard.
3. Tera Hi Bas Hona Chaahoon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
.....and yet another song that clearly reflects the musical style of Chirantan Bhatt. Never trying really too hard, the track achieves a good blend of Indian and western instruments with an instant taste of melody and climax followed by a softer score. The pensive mood is beautifully evoked in this track.
Brownie points -
- Sau Baras - Not too bad of romantically pensive song, however, it is a tad too slow. Pretty melodious otherwise
- Tum Ho Mera Pyar - A rare occasion where KK fails to capture our hearts, owing to the controlled style of Chirantan Bhatt's music. KK always needs to be free for his full display of talent.
Final verdict - Overall the album gets a 6/10. It is hard to miss the likeness between the previous album, by Chirantan Bhatt, specifically Shaapit. The only drawback of his style, is the tracks don't possess individuality making it hard to remember a specific track, and the tracks get a little repetitive. In spite of this, capable enough of entertaining us.

Zokkomon (2011)
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
A children's movie and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy-of-late directing music didn't raise much expectations. Not that the music is complete trash, but it is mostly boring. May be good enough for the genre of the movie. However, this song is worth a mention:
1. Tum Bin Yeh Dil Ghabraye ------------------------------------- 6/10
A throwback to the heydays of Shaan. A soft melody where Shaan's prowess is completely out in the open, not masked in the instrumentals. A little slow, but nice nevertheless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Music: Amit Trivedi, Rajiv Bhalla, Vivek Philip
A decent attempt which does not go anywhere. This makes complete sense with an Amit Trivedi album. How many times has he produced albums that sound interesting, but not memorable. Overall, the album is decent. If played in the background, it won't remind us to change/skip it. The following songs could be considered though:
1. Issi Baat Pe - KK. What more could you ask? And he is used to his full potential. An interesting mix of Indian classical instruments in this otherwise pop/soft rock track. Nice tempo to keep you hooked.
2. Saye Saye - Pretty interesting and typical Amit Trivedi. Starts out with vocals followed by great beats when the anticipation builds up. The pendulum swings from boring to 'Hmm! This is nice'. Definitely could have done away with religious overtones and opening of the song itself.
Final verdict - Sorry Amit Trivedi. Like always, try a little harder next time.

Music: Monty Sharma
The music director seems to have forgotten that we are in 2011. May be the fact that Govinda is the lead actor of the film got the music director confused. Certainly stale.
