Some oriental music commences Kunal Ganjawala's 'Namasteji', a situational number by Tauseef Akhtar. Another very retro track and a song that takes one back to the good old days of Pran Sahab and his qawwalis, which were such a big hit. However, in times like these, one questions the music director's sensibilities on the choice of melody and tune!
Piano and violin string sounds along with some lovely flute notes commence 'Ek Dil Ki', the only composition by the music director duo (who have now officially called it quits) Jatin-Lalit. It is a trademark Jatin-Lalit number too. We don't mind at all, do we? After all, we are going to miss their numbers. The simple flowing melody, the equally simple musical arrangements, yet a song (though situational) that appeals and makes for a good hear.
Saxophone sounds welcome all to the last composition of the album, 'Behna ki Shaadi'. We, in turn, welcome Sonu Nigam, who is back after a long hiatus in this situational, very traditional marriage number, complete with shehnai and dholak sounds. The lyrics are nice and touch the hearts. The number is a mixture of Punjabi bhangra, and the tune is similar to the mata ka bhajan.
Overall, the album is a disappointment. There isn't even a single number worth remembering. Even though the album boasts of one of Jatin-Lalit's last numbers together, that is also forgettable, especially if we keep in mind their high standards. Go for Mr. White Mr. Black, only if it is a habit to buy new audios!
