Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
1. Achha Lagta Hai ------------- 6/10
The best song of the album. The best of the mediocre. The track is melodious in parts and has a playful romantic mood to it. The lyrics is what takes out the fun a bit, as the tune is almost like a genuine love track but the lyrics are too trivial. Overall the song is likable, but seems like it will be forgotten just that easily.
2. Kaun Si Dor -------------------- 6/10
3. Saans Albeli ------------------- 6/10
This one is strictly for Indian classical music fans. Although this song won't cater to everyone's taste, it does complete justice to the karun ras of Indian classical music. Both songs are the same, minus Shreya Ghoshal in Saans Albeli. The song is really effective in setting up a deep pathos mood painting the confused, melancholy state of mind. Full marks to the song on achieving it's goal. No sarcasm here.
Final verdict: Gets a 4/10. A pretty dull album considering Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy had a masterful and slick album: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Having a social message genre for a movie never bodes well from a musical perspective, and this probably trips up the album.

A second rung movie with it's second strung music. Most of the romantic tracks are corny at best. Deewanagi by Shaan is so terrible, it makes you laugh and wonder what the tune of the song really was. Because it keeps on changing within the course of the song. In this train wreck, only the following songs could be given a thought, strictly by ghazal fans:
- Aaina Dekha - For Rahat Fateh Ali Khan fans
- Tumse Bichud Kar - For Jagjit Singh fans

Music: Debajyoti Mishra
An artsy film and an artsy album. Unless you are into niche albums that have more folk-like and pseudo classical songs and zero fanfare of the mainstream Bollywood movies; there is not much in here. The songs do not achieve the brilliance quotient in virtually any genre, and overall, a very dull album.
There were no memories this week, nor was there any aarakshan for any song in our hearts.
