4) Nakhre Bhi Utha (Alisha Chinoy)
Husky-seductive voice vocalist who has now become veteran in industry Alisha Chinoy spurts with a sing ‘n’ dance song, ‘Nakhre Bhi Utha’. Alisha intones in her usual ease and directly makes home in your heart helping you bopping your hips along with the rendition. The number shakes blood with lyrics and music too. Sexy siren-oomph gal Bipasha Basu hoedowns fabulously to the tunes in the visuals. Her presence in the frames will certainly extract joys for her whopping number of fans across the globe.

Desert feel comes in with ‘Chori Chori Ladi Aakhiyan’ sung beautifully by the pastoral voice singer Sapna Awasthi, who loots the hearts with the remarkability of her voice. Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan too take part in the song’s flow and drum in brilliantly. Sameer dashes off simple yet impressive lyrics and Nadeem-Shravan give the traditional feel to the composition. This folk song is a treat for those who love to be with these ilks of tracks.
Rating: 8.5/10

6) Aaja Aaja Piya (Alka Yagnik)
Alka Yagnik fetches her solo, ‘Aaja Aaja Piya’ and dins in magnificently. Sameer’s lyrics and Nadeem-Shravan’s trademark tunes make a good hearing.
Rating: 8/10

7) Maine Tumse Payaar Buahat Kiya (Alka Yagnik)
A sad number wrapped with the feeling of pain, love, hatred and rejection brings back Alka again to chip in, which she does very well. The song reminds you the bygone era of 50s-60s when these types of songs were very much IN and popular. Alka gives you the same feel with much conviction. The song is attractive lyrically and musically as well.
Rating: 7/10

8) Saajan Saajan Saajan (Alka Yagnik, Kailash Kher and Priyanka Chopra)
A foot-tapping number, ‘Saajan Saajan Saajan’ winds up the melodiously mellifluous album. Alka does electrically well and Kailash impresses with active rendition. Following the trend of stars singing songs, Priyanka too makes her singing debut chiming in the lines beautifully.
Rating: 7/10

Overall:
Suneel Darshan, Nadeem-Shravan and Sameer’s combo has always given melodious music to listen. History is evidence. Look at ‘Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya’, ‘Ek Rishta’, ‘Andaaz’ and ‘Mere Jeevan Saathi’ – all enticed the souls. Barsaat is rich in Indian melodies without the touch of western flavors and that’s the beauty and here the soundtrack clicks the most.
Overall Rating: 8/10
