Music: Pritam
1. Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye (Version 2) --- 7/10
2. Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye --------------------- 6/10
A lovely romantic track sticking to the basics: melody, no over the top instrumentals. Version 2 with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is much better than the main version, underscoring his value.
3. Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi (Mehfil Mix) ---------------------------- 6/10
4. Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi ------------------------------------------------ 6/10
5. Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi (Reprise) --------------------------------- 6/10
An extremely soulful song expressing love in a folk classical style with a dash of Sufi music. It is a confidently patient track and helps relax frayed nerves. All the versions are nearly identical. Mehfil Mix is a bit different having made in a live recording mode.
6. Poore Se Zara Sa Kam Hain ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
Indian classical music lovers will like this one. A short and melodious track about the longing for love that will touch your heart.
7. Sajh Dhaj Ke ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10
This is a fun-filled wedding song Punjabi folk style, not the Daler Mehndi types.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 5/10. There is a lot of potential in this enormous album, although it does not seem it will last long. Pritam does full justice to lending classical, folk Punjabi and traditional Indian music to this album. Not one song uses western musicals for an exception. This album is totally for those relaxing personal moments and not for a collective experience.

Music: Aadesh Shrivastav
Presenting the sacrificial goat of the week.: Mummy Punjabi. A totally lacklustre album, harking back to the 90s musical style. Not suggesting that Aadesh Shrivastav lacks talent, but his days are long gone and the music reflects his creativity has stopped in it's tracks.
