“PAA PARAA PAA” is a fun track, as it talks about a student – teacher interaction and college life. Lyrics are by mohan himself. A purely situational song, this song starts off well, but it is the antara that makes it better, especially the “Ruu ruu ruu” chorus. Singing by nikhil D’souza, bonnie chakraborty and dhruv shrikent is good. A lot depends on how this song is picturized. It might do wonders if picturized and promoted well. MANDATORY ITEM SONG. This one is named “CHADHTI JAWANI”. And for a change, after a long time, I liked an item song. There is a strong folk flavor, which is what works. Another thing that works is kanika joshi’s impressive singing. Add to that, a short cameo by bonnie chakraborty in the last 1 minute. Nothing extraordinary, but when every movie is belting out useless outdated item songs ALL sung by mamta sharma, this one is quite a respite. “SONIYE” – Contrary to your belief that this is a love song, let me tell you – this is a pa...

What has suddenly befallen pritam? Churning out massive hits one after the other. Well, my expectations from cocktail were humongous. With the two promo tracks making me crazy, i was looking forward to a cracker of an album. Does he deliver? Let's find out. *TUM HI HO BANDHU* the track which is already a sensation everywhere sees the very soulful kavita seth trying a new genre. And she aces it. One thing i loved about this song was the female lead's dominance over the male lead neeraj shridhar. It's good to see pritam do this, especially after composing all male singer dominated albums for the bhatts. The loop by neeraj is flawless. And so is the track. *DAARU DESI* starts with some nice guitar strings before benny dayal and shalmali 'pareshaan' kholgade take over. Average lyrics, some really good singing by both the singers and a really good tune with some addictive beats. This song again has already become a huge hit. Drums initiate the song *YAARIYAAN* sung b...

When i first saw the name of pritam as the music director for fks, i was a little suprised. Vidhu vinod chopra (VVC) have,over the past years developed a fine rapport with shantanu moitra,who has delivered consistently. So i was a little hesitant as to what to expect from this pritam outing. But after finishing listening to the album,i literally wondered- is this really pritam? First to come is the MAUSAMBI song, sung by k.mohan. Some very interesting lyrics, a soothing,easy-on-the-ears tune and nice singing makes this a very good starting track. If promoted well (and i'm sure it will), this one will be a hit. MAARA RE is a highly noisy stadium track.sung well by rana majumdar,aishwarya nigam and aashish, this song as a highly addictive signature chorus tune. The song only gets better with the entry of sonu nigam in the last antara. MALA JAU DE- Meaning Mujhe jaane de in hindi,this one has catchy beats.but didnt work for me. An overdose of item songs this year. Well sung tho...
