Some of the songs being promoted look interesting and decent .Let us check out the audio. The first track 'Yeh Khuda' commences with some good synthesized, rhythmic music and beats. A song of friendship and camaraderie, signifying the bond that exists amongst the lead actors. K.K. excels in this genre of high-pitched singing except for some bad diction! Rap by Indee (part English & part Punjabi) is good. The 'Yeh Khuda (remix) version has been remixed by Ishq and Vish and is praiseworthy. Though the tempo has been slightly heightened, the vocals remain the same. Here, the rapping by Ishq is mainly in English. 'Joshile Java Ho' (the title track) features twice in the album. A bottoms up song, literally (watch the promo to understand what we mean)! This one can be termed as an item number, though not exactly. Composer Pritam recycles his own 'Chocolate' ('Mummy Ko Nahin Hai Pata') composition. But alas, Amrita Arora is no Tanushree Dutta. And though Pritam tries, it is only an average composition. Even Shweta's echo vocals are irritating. The second time around 'Joshile Java Ho' is only a space filler. Nice to hear Amit Kumar (son of late Kishore Da) in 'Chore Ki Baatein' (he had created a niche for himself after the super successful 'Love Story'). He sings this full of 'masti' and energy number in his own inimitable style. The makers' must be praised for acknowledging the original Ali Zafar composition, especially after Pritam's shameless 'Chocolate' ('Zehreeli Raatein') lift of 'Aadat'. The original though is a huge hit ('Kalyug'). The second version is the 'Chore Ki Baatein' (remix) by Iimu Ali. The remixing definitely does a world of good to the number as it becomes more peppy and groovy. 'Bolo Na Tum Zara' has two of India's most talented young singers Shaan and Shreya, teaming up for this nice, soft love ballad, which in the beginning appears to be an average composition but due to some brilliant singing it becomes quite classy, especially after Shreya comes in. The chorus is soft and soothing. The lyrics by Neelesh Mishra are quite classy - " Bolo na tum zara, Pyaar ye hota hai kya." The 'Bolo Na Tum Zara (remix)' version takes away the leisurely paced soft charm of the original composition as the tempo/pace has been upped. All in all, 'Fight Club' is at best a decent compilation by Pritam, who promised a lot with 'Dhoom', 'Chocolate' (to an extent) and recently 'Garam Masala' and won't cut much ice by way of sales or popularity.
