Heyy Babyy

Hip-hop and rap commences the light hearted, fun-filled, effervescent track, 'Jaane Bhi De'. Picturised on the dashing Akshay Kumar and the very pretty Vidya Balan, this is a situational 'roothna-manana' song, that has found favour in many a previous movies. One that comes to mind is from Shah Rukh Khan's favourite movie 'Kabhie Haan Kabhie Na' ('Anna Mere Pyar Ko'). Coming back to the track, Shankar as always is fantastic. His singing is so realistic, as he puts in all the right emotions. The chorus, where his buddy Loy gives him company, is very catchy. Sameer's lyrics are simple and apt - "Gustakhi maaf kar de, Ab toh insaaf karde, Apna dil saaf karde, Kehna toh maan le, Ho... Jaane bhi de, Jo bhi hua,Jaane bhi de".

'Jaane Bhi De-Hip-hop Hiccup Remix'(Is this director Sajid Khan's wacky sense of humour?) is once again by DJ Whosane and it commences with a conversation between two people, one male, the other female. The male voice says, "Hey Baby, play our song", to which the female replies "No, never". Later, there is a brief rap portion. After that, the song commences, with intermittent female voice saying, "no" (which was not present in the original). The pace too is heightened with an added synthesized piece, to give it the desired hip-hop touch.

Soothing jaltarang sounds and a soft, bubbly chorus sets in 'Meri Duniya Tu Hi Re'. A soft, sentimental, full of feelings, situational composition, which at first appears to be a lullaby (due to its musical arrangements), but its not so, as the lyrics suggest. Sameer deserves all the praise for some heart-touching lyrics, which show how the lead protagonists, who were spoilt brats, are reformed through the love and affection of an innocent baby, as they realize their mistake - "Humne ki jo bhi khataayein(mistakes), Hum jhelengen, Unki saari saza bhi, Humne ki jitni jafaayen(infidelities), Hum unse bhi, Ab karenge wafa bhi". All three singers, namely Shaan, Sonu Nigam and Shankar Mahadevan, are thorough professionals and the best in their field, so obviously all three have put in their very best. The only minus point is that there is a definite inspiration from Stevie Wonder's evergreen love song, 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'.
