Chakna chakna is a Punjabi Bhangra song with HEAVY NASAL USAGE by Himesh Baba:D!! Remix version may appeal to Bhangra Lovers…
Viraniya is one of the finest songs by Himesh as a COMPOSER with excellent music arrangements using Violin and tabla giving it a sad feel which the song is intended to do. His voice is just OK as everytime…Nothing special.. I think it would have been better if somebody other than himesh would have sung the song.
Mehfil Mix is a NEW INTRODUCTION by himesh where only Tabla is used. Special about this mix is writer Javed Akhtar
Main Jahaan Rahoon is sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Krishna and rendered perfectly. Again what makes you love this song is Background music arrangements. Tabla is main background instrument played,with Krishna rendering the alaaps.. Another Good song by Himesh.
Yahi Hota Pyaar is another slow paced song like Viraniya by Himesh and Sunidhi…Again tabla is the major instrument in background making it a soft romantic feel which syncs with the Lyrics by Javed Akhtar. It isnt Harsh to ears like most of Himesh’s songs… One thing I dont like about Himesh is he doesnt give equal importance to female singers in Duets.. They only sing 2-3 lines or at a max. a single stanza.
Rafta Rafta is a true punjabi song by UK band RDB. It appeals even too Non-Bhangra lovers which is intended to reflect Akshay Kumar’s life in pure punjabi iShtyle when she meets Katrina Kaif.
Aanan Faanan is just a OK OK song. It has URBAN touch unlike rest of the song. I think it is intended for shooting in LONDON.
Dilruba is a dance song which makes you tap your feet.. A fast paced song by Zubeen and Alisha.
