Kaafila

Lovely ektara beats and a simple melody commence 'Kabhie Kabhie Sapne Bhi', a heart touching song about the dreams and aspirations of the immigrants, who leave their homeland in search of a better future. The USP of the track is that it features Mohd. Aziz, the highly talented singer who was (for a short time) Big B's voice during the late 80s ('Mard'). Aziz demonstrates his skills by a flawless rendition. The other artists (Abhijeet, Gursewak and Madjnun) too are good, though one wanted more of Mohd. Aziz, maybe for nostalgia! The ample and good use of banjo brings back the memory of the music of 'Gadar', especially, 'Udd Ja Kaale Kawa'.

A tense, inspirational-cum-camaraderie number is 'Jab Tak Hai Saans', a song about a group of people facing difficult situations and all the hurdles they face together. Putting it another way, it's a desi prayer, service type composition, that should come at an important juncture in the movie. The lyrics are very inspirational and motivating - "Jab tak hai saans, Rahe saath saath, Haathon mein haath, Chale saath saath." Abhijeet enters later and helps in giving his individual touch with some good high pitched singing.
