Producer Firoz Nadiadwala has always been known for his lavish, star-studded extravaganzas. The music under his banner has been more of the commercial kind rather than critic pleasing. But through aggressive publicity, innovative and exhaustive marketing, Nadiadwala has always succeeded in making his music popular. 'Hera Pheri', 'Phir Hera Pheri', 'Awara Pagal Deewana' and 'Fool N Final' are a few such examples. One just wonders what he will do, if one of these days he actually has high quality compositions at his disposal! Maybe keeping this in mind, he has hired the services of three hot 'n' happening music directors, Anand Raj Anand, Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid-Wajid. So let us check out if the above three are able to do what Anu Malik did with 'No Entry'.

The album is off to a cracker of a start with the 'masaledaar' (spicy), 'Uncha Lamba' rendered by the composer Anand Raj Anand. The highly versatile, jack of all trades (composer, singer and lyricist), Anand Raj Anand, after enthralling the listeners with his 'Billo Rani' ('Goal') is slowly realizing his own potential as a singer and so gives himself a chance to sing this nice, Punjabi based romantic track. The usual rap and the highly infectious rhythm, popular in David Dhawan movies, like 'Bade Miayan Chhote Miyan' commences the song. The song itself is no great shakes, but will certainly grow on listeners, specially after watching Akki and Katrina gyrating to its deadly rhythm in the promos. Anand has a nice, soft voice and does a good job with Kalpana, whose anglesized accent helps the cause. The Punjabi used in the lyrics is simple and thus this song should have a wide appeal.
