The movie has already raised a lot of buzz and expectations, because of some big gora names acting in it.(I am sure they were paid more than our stars just to take a walk on the sets while the camera was rolling). But, the music has no gora names associated with it..so its completely desi stuff..!

The album starts off with a really good track, ‘Om Mangalam’ (sung and composed by RDB), which is currently on air & is a sure-shot chartbuster. You are bound to keep that track on a repeat mode…!

‘Lakh Lakh; (sung by Neeraj Sridhar), is a typical Punjabi or rather ‘funjabi’ song you can say…quite a competent follow up to the popular ‘Om Mangalam’.

‘Bebo’, sung by Alisha Chinoy (no, it’s not talking about the Bebo in the movie) is a very average number, strung along with the other popular tracks of the album. Don’t expect a ‘Kajrare’ from this track..!

Put on your dancing shoes & gather all your energy before the start of ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ (KK & Sunidhi Chauhan)!.It’s the most energetic number of the album with peppy, fresh & hep lyrics…!! This is gonna be the song for all the college junta in 2009’s festivals and celebrations..!

Following up the title track comes a soft, soulful and melodious ‘Kyun’ (Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal), it’s a perfect track to enjoy your coffee to, looking into your sweetheart’s eyes..! Really a song to sing and dedicate your loved one, it also comes with a solo female version sung by Shreya, which is equally good

‘Welcome to Hollywood’ (Karsh Kale & Anushka Manchanda) is the angrezi gaana, which sounds more like nursery rhyme. It’s probably played in the movie when the camera is panning the Hollywood skyline from a heli cam..!

The album overall is very good if you leave out the ‘Bebo’ song & a number of remixes (Read: jumbled up compositions). My pick of the album is deifnitely “Kyun” and “Kambakkht Ishq”.

Verdict: Bound to be played in a lot of places on repeat mode, the album is complete paisa vasool. Go Buy IT..!
