Director Rohit Shetty's 'Golmaal-Fun Unlimited', released two years back, was a surprise success and the credit for its good initial went to some groovy, hip-hop music by the composers Vishal-Shekhar. Though, Rohit Shetty has shouted himself hoarse that 'Golmaal Returns' is not a sequel to 'Golmaal', yet all pointers are to the fact that the album will be on the same lines as his previous outing. Since Vishal-Shekhar have now become too choosy and are busy in reality shows, the makers have gone in for Pritam, the reigning numero uno music director with superhit albums like 'Race', 'Jannat' and 'Singh Is Kinng' behind him. He has for company an upcoming young composer in the form of Ashish Pandit who is the guest composer in this. album. So, lets get going and see whether Pritam will be able to rekindle the V-S magic.

A lot of surprise is in store as the album opens with the super rocking, 'Tha Kar Ke', the super expensive track that has all the ingredients of a chartbuster, specially as all the hot n' happening stars of the movie have joined hands for its promotional video. The surprise factor is that the song is composed by Ashish Pandit (an upcoming composer) and not Pritam or even V-S, as initially assumed by all after seeing its video. The new composer certainly seems impressed with Pritam as the song is more in the Pritam league. The initial rap, the western musical arrangements, aided by massive orchestrations and of course artists like Earl, Indie, Neeraj Shridhar, all are patent Pritam. But all credit to Ashish for this song which is bound to conquer the charts. Neeraj Shridhar, who has always delivered chart toppers for Pritam, succeeds in his mission once again. It's funny that he does not even sing in 'sur' but who cares as he is simply superb. The nonsensical lyrics by Sameer adds to the novelty and new world charm of the number.

'Tha Kar Ke-Remix' is a superbly composed track by DJ Amyth (and programmed by Darshan) as the mixing has been done tastefully. The song was already fast paced but in the remix it assumes a break neck speed and the result is a rollicking dance track that will definitely be a hit in the discos and dance parties.
