‘Khoya Khoya Chand’ - Swanand Kirkire and Ajay Jhingran sing this beautiful song which has an old world charm and has a semi classical appeal. It has a kind of jazz tune and then moves onto the ‘qawalli’ genre with its rendition. It has a sensuous but playful melody that creates an appealing aura. It is a charming song with noteworthy lyrics. The rendition by the two singers also has an old world charm which only lifts the title track higher. An extremely appealing number.
‘Yeh Nigahein’- Sonu Nigam and Antara Chaudhary croon this perfectly melodious number. The song has style, musical arrangements are organised well and the melody oozes from the number. Once again the old world charm and appeal makes its presence in the song and it has a true blue jazz appeal. Sonu Nigam lends a soft, soothing touch while Antara renders with confidence. An ideal 50’s kind of number.
‘Chalo Aao Saiyan’ – A slow song sung by Shreya Ghoshal in a pitched voice. This song too has a semi-classical appeal and one gets to hear ‘ghungroos’, ‘claps’ and the ‘tabla’ in the background. The beats are slow and the rhythm is average. The lyrics of the song are okay but the 50’s feel of music and melody is kept alive in this average number.
