Pooja Bhatt/Mahesh Bhatt have always stuck to basic melodies when it came to their movies, Jism (1) and Paap. Chucking any flamboyance, they went ahead with lesser known music directors. Whether it will work for them again in 2012 is a bit suspect. The tracks are either intense in mood, varying from somber to overly romantic, but definitely no catchy tunes here. Overall, thus, the album feels heavy in mood and the basic tunes feel a little bland.
Brownie points -
- Maula - The fans of Pakistani singers and their beseeching style should check this out. This one is certainly intense, but the same high intensity borders on the ludicrous. Not bad. Pooja Bhatt and Ali Azmat of Junoon fame, team up again after Paap.
- Darta Hoon (Adhoora) - An interesting trance-like track that is reminiscent of the Aao Huzoor Tumko remix by Karunesh. The instrumentals and sedated female lead voice creates a surreal atmosphere.

A very ordinary album with not much effort put into creating good music. Javed Ali shines as a playback singer in overly sentimental Andheron Main Maa, while Daata Tere Sawali (Qawali) piles on the genre of qawali/sufi devotional track without creating much buzz.
(Random thought: At first glance, did anyone think the kid is giving the finger?)

Talk about a time warp. This album is the best way to experience it. The songs are amazingly stuck in the early 90s. Almost can imagine Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in their early days lip syncing these tracks. Simply employing the best singers does not make the cut. There has to be a lot of freshness to a song to be successful, and this album is plain stale.
Now that's what I call a crappy film. The critic is right rather do nothing than put yourself through two odd hours of excruciating torture.
