A Still from 'Chocolate'

'Panaahon Mein Mohabbat Ki' starts off as a Reggae & Rap mixture, but cannot be classified as either. The result is fabulous but sorry to say only in the 'mukhda'. As the 'antra' begins, one is aghast at the blatant copy of Nadeem Shravan's super hit song 'Rabba Ishq Na Hove' from 'Andaaz'. The lyrics by Praveen Bharadwaj (more famous for his Hindi lyrics), demonstrates his command over Urdu. Kunal Ganjawala is as good as ever.

Next up, 'Jhuki Jhuki' has Kailash Kher who has completely taken over Sukhwinder Singh (especially) as far as new composers are concerned. He excels in numbers such as these. The composition by Pritam is Sufi style combined with Arabian folk music. It is a very rhythmic number that is likely to rock the discos. Though the hangover from Anu's 'Mujhse Mast Mahaul Mein Jeene De' from 'Fiza' is there (slightly) and maybe it has more to do with the presence of the same singer - Sunidhi.

'Chocolate Theme' comes twice in the album. It's a combo of fast paced techno beats and synthesized sounds accompanied by extremely rhythmic percussion instruments. One of the better attempts at theme songs after Rahman (who excels).
