Rajshri Productions' association with Ravindra Jain goes decades back. He was instrumental in giving them some beautiful and melodious hit music in their films like 'Nadiya Ke Paar', 'Akhiyon ke Jharonkhon Se' and 'Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Man Bhaye', to name a few.

Ever since Sooraj Barjatya took over the reigns of direction, he brought in new music directors like Raam Laxman who along with Sooraj's lucky mascot Salman Khan gave some huge hits like 'Maine Pyar Kiya', 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' and 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', taking Rajshri to dizzying heights. Then Sooraj tried to be radical and failed with 'Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon', even though the music by Anu Malik became quite popular. Now, Sooraj has gone back to Rajshri's trusted old warhorse Ravindra Jain to bring back the magic. Let's see for ourselves whether this strategy worked.

The album starts off with a simple, easy to hum, melodious track 'Mujhe Haq Hai', which is a soft, romantic composition. Lots of Indian musical instruments like 'sitar' and 'tabla' have been liberally used in order to give it the traditional touch, which forms the crux of Sooraj's movie. The signature tune of 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' present in the background and Amrita Rao trying to look like Madhuri (in the promos) makes us nostalgic. Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal sing well in combination.

The next number 'Do Anjane Ajnabi', sung once again by Udit and Shreya, is a true to life situational track, which happens an innumerable number of times in the traditional Indian household, when the boy first meets the girl (whom he knows only through the photographs). All those familiar with Ravindra Jain's style of music will immediately recognize the tune, which he has used here, remember 'Saahiba'? But more than the tune, it's Ravindra Jain who deserves credit for the very apt lyrics, which convey the message clearly - "Dekhi hai tasveer hee, Aaj milenge darshan, Hai re, Badhne lagi hai uljhan, milker kya bole."
