Surprisingly, it is Kailash Kher along with item number queen Payal Rohatgi (who sizzles up the screen) in the promos being aired. 'O Sikander' is a proper, pure, unadulterated 'qawwali', complete with 'tabla' and harmonium. Kailash is simply amazing. The ease with which he renders this composition (along with the rarely heard Saapna Mukerji) is a revelation.
The 'O Sikander (Desi Mix)' has Sonu Kakkar (of 'Babuji Zara Dheere Chalo' fame) joining Kher, but there is nothing 'desi' about this 'Desi Mix'. In fact, joint singing by the artists along with unnecessary musical arrangements spoils the song to an extent.
The 'O Sikander (International Dance Mix)' has been remixed by Diamond 'DJ Swami' Duggal and true to its name, it has the essential English rap along with extra zing, in terms of Western musical arrangements. Once again, it only manages to spoil the beauty of the original composition.
Next up is 'Yahan Sabko Sab (Easy Mix)', which is basically a very rhythmic, situational number; highlighting the double standards of the rich, 'Corporate' society, where no one is loyal to the other. This is an obvious attempt by Madhur to get support from that section of the society, which is not privy to the high society luxurious lifestyle. This is something he did successfully in 'Page 3', by painting rich and famous in bad light. Obviously, it is the fascination of the underpriveledged to hear negative comments about a society that they can only dream of!
