Abhay Deol's debut movie, 'Socha Na Tha', will be remembered as a neat, cute and touching film, which could've done better business had it's music (by Sandesh Sandaliya) been more commercially viable and the promotion better. May be, that's why Himesh the one man army, who is ruling the Indian music industry has been roped in. So let's check out whether Himesh delivers the goods, as successfully and regularly as he has been doing of late.

Soft guitar strummings and slow drawl violin commence the title track 'Ahista Ahista', which on first hearing puts one off as Himesh rehashes the mukhda of his still popular title track from the movie 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye'. But thankfully the 'antara' is different and quite nice. Himesh excels in high as well as low pitched singing. Lyrics by Irshad Kamil are very classy though not as identifiable as Sameer's lyrics.

'Ahista Ahista (Unplugged)' introduces us to Himesh, the real singer as he croons, minus the usual background musical intruments (except for electronic plates and light guitar strokes} and he is amazing.

'Ahista Ahista (Remix)' by Akbar Sami livens up a soft, at times dull original track.

The next track we encounter is 'Allah Kare'. And as the title suggests, it is a song with a 'sufi/dargah' background . And dear oh dear, the mukhda is again a derivative of the title track of 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye'. The antara too is similar to so many Himesh's number being dished out. Overwork kills! Isn't it Himesh bhai?
