Music: Amit Trivedi
Amit Trivedi has been coming up with so many good sounding albums that are not chart busters, that it is hard to keep a track now. Probably, Aisha was his last hit album. This album is no exception to his good work thus far which is sure to bite the dust as soon as the spotlight moves on. He deserves some leeway, though, for a fun album.
1. Pareshaan -------------------------------------------------- 7/10
If you loved Lehrein from Aisha, this one belongs to the same category in terms pace and mood. Soft and silent vocals backed by robust male chorus, harmonium and bass guitar. A good blend of soft and hard hitting musical components.
2. Aafaton Ke Parinde -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
A hard hitting song where Suraj Jagan's gritty has been put to good use. A sure mood lifter. A good suck quencher. It's strong opening feels slightly wasted as the song never seems to reach a defining climax until at the absolutely end.
3. Jhalla Wallah -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
The most fun qawwali I have heard in a while. This song has goofy lyrics. Fun and entertaining. The musical genre is pure qawwali, no mixing it with western instrumentals. This is probably what makes the lyrics stand out and evoke maximum laughs. Shreya Ghoshal for the first time gives an unexpected performance for the better, considering her sticking to formulaic romantic tracks.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 6/10. Decent songs. Not memorable in any way, but once you play them, you might feel to hang on. But, the songs are just not there in the hit-o-sphere.

Music: Himesh Reshammiya
With this album, HR has been demoted to being Himesh Reshammiya. If only this album had come out 6-7 years ago during the peak of his career would this album had been received positively. Now, however, Himesh's Aap Ka Surroor like heartbroken songs don't make the cut.The song Naina Re would have been one of your best songs of a broken heart. Not anymore.
The entire album, with especially Naina Re (Reprise) and Ishq Mein Ruswaa would be perfect for the dhabas and trucks.

Music: Bappi Lahiri
The genre of the movie is about the lives of Mumbai cops and gangsters. Other than hoping to find another Kallu Mama, not much was expected and the album does not grant us anything much. The songs are peppy and replete with attitude. So they are amusing to listen to, but nothing in it for a Bollywood music fan.

Music: Sagar Desai
Yes, turned this stone over and found nothing. A boring album with no purpose. Wonder if this album is more of a distraction even in the movie.
