Beautiful electronic flute notes commence yet another enchanting, romantic composition by Mustafa Zahid - 'Tera Mera Rishta'. The tune in the mukhda is derived from the earlier number 'To Phir Aao', as the repeated "Tera mera rishta purana" is very much similar in style to the repeated "To Phir Aao". What one must add here though is that this tune is a bit flat, as compared to the first one. Mustafa Zahid's vocals are more base, more masculine. In fact, his style of singing is a bit like Kishore da, and it is his singing rather than the rhythm, which makes this number worth hearing again and again. Of course, Sayeed Quadri, who has by now become a permanent lyricist for the Bhatts scores once again with classy, heart touching lyrics - "Tera yaqeen kyon, Maine kiya nahin, Tumse raha kyon juda, Mujhpe yeh Zindagi, Karti rahi sitam, Tune hi di hai panaah, Tera mera rishta purana". Yet another top class number by Roxen.

'Tera Mera Rishta-Remix', by DJ Suketu starts with some female whispering in the background, like - "My love will live forever" etc. After that it is the usual upped tempo and rhythm.

A synthesized groovy rhythm starts off the pop-styled 'Mahiya'. Rendered by Suzanne and composed by Annie, this is a youth oriented, racy dance track. The highlight of the number is the lyrics penned jointly by Sayeed Quadri and Asif Ali Beig, which are partly in Urdu and partly in English, gelling together beautifully and will be loved by the youth. Suzanne, who has sung for quite a few Hindi movies (mostly the English parts), and as female background vocalist, gets to sing a full fledged number here. She is good with the English rendition, though she gets screechy in the Hindi parts and is quite nasal too. Do we have a female Himesh in the making here?

'Mahiya-Remix' by DJ Suketu is just a space filler, nothing novel offered here. We do not want to sound repetitive by uttering the same things, like heightened rhythm and beats etc.
