After the disastrous 'Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost' starring Abhishek Bachchan and Lara Dutta, Apoorva Lakhia is back but with the real Bachchan. Yes, Big B himself. The slick promos of the movie (including music) have definitely set the adrenalin pumping, especially for the lovers of action-thrillers. So let us check out what the award winning Amar Mohile (background score - 'Sarkaar') has to offer.

Vishal-Shekhar are the special guest composers and their contribution to the album is just a single number, the title track 'Ek Ajnabee', with lyrics by Vishal Dadlani.

Synthesized hip hop sounds and good beats along with a strange voice going "stranger, stranger" commence the title track. A deadly rhythm sets the pace for the best part of the song - "Mama told me, don't be talking to strangers, strangers", sung in a base (African) voice. This innovation gives the song its unique superlative touch. Sukhwinder and Sunidhi sing well as a combo. Towards the end, the track goes into a crescendo with Sukhwinder's high pitched vocals saying repeatedly "Ek Ajnabee, Dil ko chura ke le gaya." That marks the closing of a superb but very different song 'n' dance number. However, compared to Vishal-Shekhar's previous hit compositions from 'Salaam Namaste' and 'Dus' (which found universal acceptance), this one will appeal to the lovers of different yet classy music. It is a number that should leave a mark after the release of the movie.
