One dance number follows another and it is titled 'Yaar Piya'. This time the Bhatts' didn't go for their customary Pakistani/ Bangladeshi singer, so Sajid-Wajid obliged them by lifting Pakistani Pop artist of yesteryears Hasan Jahangir's (whose album 'Hawa Hawa' was a rage in the 1990's) number 'Hum Raqs Karein' especially in the mukhda. It's a typical Mumbai Beer Bar dance composition, complete with bottle opener clicking sounds, maybe be due to the fact that the female lead (Nisha Kothari) is a bar dancer.
Sajid-Wajid's Arabic influenced number 'Dil Deewana' (in 'Jawani Diwani') didn't scorch the charts, yet they have attempted another one here - 'Hibbaki'. Their effort is pedestrian, to say the least with a (much) 'heard before' tune. Hamza sings the Arabic part with ease and Earl raps well but the surprise element is Suzanne who shows her fluency in Hindi singing.
The remix has again been well done. One thing is for sure, Sajid-Wajid are good with remixes. After hearing the whole album our advice to them is that they should get down to serious remixing rather than composing. Is Akbar Sami listening?
In a nutshell, barring the first two good compositions, 'The Killer' is a poor effort by Sajid-Wajid, certainly not befitting of the composers who gave us the still quite popular 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'.
Coming to the Bhatts' banner, it is their weakest musical offering (barring 'Nazar') of recent times and it will be surprising even if their lucky mascot Emraan can lift it.
