Traditional ghatam/matka sounds accompanying Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's inimitable vocals commence the second excellent track of the album, 'Bol Na Halke Halke'. This bewitching, romantic piece is a critic's delight. The pace relaxed, the Indian musical instruments like the flute and sarangi give it that beautiful romantic flavour. Rahat starts from where he left off in 'Mitwa' ('KANK') and 'Teri Yaad' ('Namastey London'). His rendition is superlative, so much so that the talented Mahalaxmi is relegated to the background. And just as we were yearning for it, Rahat gives the superb classical touches, which have become his trademark, reminiscent of his illustrious uncle, the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Gulzar Sahab's lyrics provide the romantic charm to this delightful track.
Next up, is the situational 'Ticket To Hollywood', which can be classified as a sweet, semi-romantic, 'ched-chaad' number, reminiscent of Kishore Kumar's 'Paanch Rupaiya Barah Aana' (we are just talking about the feel of the song). The lyrics of the mukhda is folk lore inspired, whereas the antara is typically filmy. Alisha, who rocked the nation (as Aishwarya's voice) in the team's earlier flick 'BnB', 'Kajra Re', doesn't get much scope. Neeraj Sridhar's vocals are too sugary, but he does sing with feeling. The rap by Loy Mendosa and the background chorus is good and deserves mention.
