'Vaada Raha' is a brief, slow, sad version of the romantic track 'Keh Raha Hai', sung well and as always with feelings by Sonu Nigam.
'Bebasi Dard Ka Alam' is a soft, slow, sentimental, situational track, adorned with some minimum but soothing musical arrangements, combined with some extremely heart touching lyrics by Sameer. Kunal Ganjawala is good, but has become a victim of his 'Bheege Honth Tere' ('Murder') hangover and is being made to sing in a style similar to the above-mentioned song.
Sudesh Bhonsle, who has been Amitabh Bachchan's voice for a long, long time is back once again with 'Ga Re Mann', and he is in the elite company of artists like Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Kailash Kher. A unique fusion of salsa and classical 'alaaps' commences the track, a totally 'raaga' based composition, which changes pace and switches from semi-classical to western. Can also be labeled as a funky 'qawwali'. Sameer shows his hold (once again) at Urdu poetry. A situational track that reminds us of the superb track from 'Der Na Ho Jaaye' from Randhir Kapoor's 'Henna' (we are only talking about the situation, which is similar). In fact, the song also ends in a similar fashion. Sudesh, as usual puts in a commendable effort. Both the female artists are as professional as ever (nice to hear Kavita, who has become a rarity these days, on the musical front). Kailash comes in for the classical parts, and needless to add, he is excellent, as always.
