The last number, 'Sandesa Aaya' starts with Sukhwinder singing a famous Rajasthani folk song that welcomes the guests: "Kesariya balam, Padharo maaro desh". A lovely, soft, relaxed paced love song, sung wonderfully by Sukhwinder. The good use of Indian musical instruments are akin to that of Rahman's music (for his period films). Maybe some of Rahman rubbed off on Sukhwinder, as he has sung a lot for the maestro!

To sum up, Sukhwinder's music has the old-world charm and some nice traditional Indian numbers, which are entirely situational. Although, it remains to be seen as to how the audience will take to it, once the movie releases. However, one must remember that even Bollywood's biggest blockbuster 'Gadar' (another movie that Zee was associated with) had this type of music and a very low key start. The rest, as they say, is history!
