"Wada karke nibhane waale kam hote hain, Ishq na karna, Ishq mein, Gham hi gham hote hain." With this piece of advice commences 'Main Na Mil Sakoon Jo Tumse'. A sad and at times morose composition. The pace of the song is too slow and too monotonous. What makes matters worse is that the song has shades of Lata's classic title track from 'Mera Saaya'. The only saving grace is some superb Urdu lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Alka is decent.
'Behka Diya Hamein' is the only duet in the album and Sonu the only male singer in this all female dominated album. It's picturized on the hot 'n' happening pair of Abhishek and Aishwarya but even their presence is not enough to salvage this routine composition. It's a much-heard before tune and there is nothing novel in it's treatment either in terms of musical arrangements or song rendition. Sonu though is in good form and Alka adequate.
'Agle Janam' is a folk song rendered by many a renowned folk artists before this (it's a situational track, which appears twice in the album). Richa Sharma, who is a renowned folk artist in her own right, sings the more difficult or the semi-classical one and she has done a very good job. Anmol Malik, who is Anu's daughter, has rendered the other version, which is simpler, and she is decent. Her vocals needed to be built up before attempting this one. But considering this is her first effort (and for the young Umrao /Amiran) it should be appreciated.
