Just a one-liner on the 'Namumkin Remix' by Akbar - Well tried, but it's 'namumkin' (impossible) to pep up this ordinary number.
"Ishq who khwahish hai, Jismein sukoon ka ahsaas hai, Ishq who jazba hai jiskki khushboo mein pyaas hai", and with this beautiful couplet Himesh starts off 'Dil Lagaayenge'. This song initially appears to be another derivative of the typical Himesh love songs, as per the lyrics by Sameer - "Aadat se baaz na aayenge". But lo and behold, we have a good racy, rhythmic composition. Himesh's style of singing here is very similar to Bhappi Da. Akriti Kakkar seems to be the new favourite with Himesh and proves her mettle with her sweet yet strong vocals.
The 'Dil Lagaayenge Remix' by Akbar Sami is a typical remix! Too many broken vocals and cacophonous arrangements spoil the number.
Suddenly out of the blue, Himesh comes up with a Nadeem-Shravan style composition 'Rukhsat'. Shaan is excellent in this peppy yet sad love song. Sameer's simple lyrics too are good - "Tera hi ahsaas hai, Teri hi pyaas hai, Teri hi baat hai har kahin, Tere khayalon se rukhsat paana mumkin nahih", (meaning in brief - its impossible to say goodbye to your memories).
And last, but not least, is a medley of four quite classy but short numbers, and since this movie has a musical backdrop, one can easily say that they are all stage performances, which come one after another (as in a competition). Yes, a la Nassir Hussain movies like 'Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin'.
First up is 'Issi Umeed Pe', by Shaan, whose vocals appear like a breath of fresh air as he croons "Issi umeed pe jee rahein hain, tumse milne ki hasrat rah na jaaye", and all die-hard Nadeem-Shravan fans will get nostalgic over this mushy composition.
