It appears that Lalit realized his mistake pretty fast and he makes amends with the very next number, 'Meri Phalak Ka Tu Hi Sitara'. The song is wrongly printed as 'Palak' instead of 'Phalak' (which means sky in Urdu) on the audio cover. This will definitely rate as the best song of the album, a song worthy and in keeping with the Jatin-Lalit legacy and the Bhatt banner. Lalit successfully encashes the Raaz ambience which still remains one of the biggest hits of the Bhatts. The song commences on a slow note, and gradually picks up pace with heightened music arrangements and singing. K.K. is absolutely wonderful. Lalit should be commended for some lovely musical arrangements. The superb orchestra plates, bead sounds and some good use of trumpets peppered with a beautiful chorus and female background vocals all deserve praise. Sayeed Quadri's lyrics are also impressive - "Tu mujhse rootha rahe, Mujhe sanam shikayat nahin, Na mujhse iqraar kar, Ye maan loon mohabbat nahin, Tum bin jee sakoon lekin, Ye mujh mein himmat nahin, Meri phalak ka tu hi sitara, Aawara maujon ka tu hi kinara." All the combined factors make this an excellent number.
Lovely flute notes and light guitar strumming commence the unplugged version of 'Meri Phalak Ka Tu Hi Sitara'. The composition is similar to the first one, but as it's an unplugged version, there are no heavy musical arrangements here, only light ones like flute, guitar and plate sounds are used to give the desired effect. K.K.'s strong and masculine vocals ring loud and clear. This version has its own charm and is instantly likeable.
Lovely banjo and guitar combo marks the start of 'Kash Ek Din Aisa Bhi Aaye', an intense, passionate love song. Though the melody is an often heard one (a very 90s type which Jatin-Lalit used to excel in), but all credit goes to the two lead singers, Shaan and Shreya for a spirited performance. The chorus does get irritating after a while though. Sayeed Quadri too deserves a pat on the back for some simple and effective, though filmy lyrics. |
