While talking about 'James', Ram Gopal Varma says that it is his most commercial movie till date. Though his movies have never boasted of good music, barring 'Rangeela' (while not ignoring the fact that the songs of 'Satya' and 'Khallas' from 'Company became quite popular), let us check out what Ramu's lyricist Nitin Raikwar has to offer musically (this time in a dual role). Interestingly, Ramu has three music directors for 'James'! Of them, we have only heard of Nitin Raikwar, who is more famous for his 'tapori' lyrics.

The first track (picturized on the sensational and sexy Delhi newcomer Nisha Kothari) goes, 'Zindagi jeene ka naam hai jee le, Pyar ek jam hai pyar se pee le'. The song, a fast paced vibrant youthful number, takes a rather philosophical look at a way of life. Nitin surprises us not only as a lyricist but also as a composer. He is equally adept at both. Shweta Pandit sings the song with much life and gusto. However, the song to an extent reminds one of Varma's own 'Ho Ja Rangeela Re' from 'Rangeela.
