After the way the music of the previous Yash Raj productions has found success (during the last two years), a lot was expected from 'Salaam Namaste' especially after the first few promos of the title track. So let us check out the keenly awaited album.

The deadly rhythm of the title track 'Salaam Namaste' catches you instantly. Yes, we are talking about the synthesized keyboard piece that has been used liberally in the first few teasers. Kunal Ganjawala and singer-actress Vasundhra Das do full justice to the track as they say "Ek din ek pal ik janiya, Aaj hai kal phir ud janiya" and their voice blends beautifully with the music. A guaranteed chartbuster in the days to come and a deserving replacement for 'Just Chill' and 'Dus Bahane'. In the 'antras' one can get nostalgic, being reminded of the legendary "Koi shehri babu dil lehri" from 'Loafer'.

The 'Dhol Mix' of the title track has a faster tempo and the traditional percussion instruments dominating the proceedings. Yet again, Kunal Ganjawala and Vasundhra Das demonstrate their talent as they sing with gusto and adjust their vocals so that they are in sync with the upped tempo. A remix that has its own charm and is not a routine job.
