Its seems like ages since Bobby Deol last graced our screens. However the actor now returns in yet another action flick, directed by Guddu Dhanoa. This time around he's paired alongside Priyanka Chopra for the very first time. The soundtrack to the film has hit the shops, composed by Anand Raj Anand and featuring lyrics by Dev Kohli. Radio Sargam checks out the T-series album…

(1) Mahi Mahi (Sunidhi Chauhan)
Sunidhi Chauhan assigns herself the opening item number of the album, Mahi Mahi. She is the real epitome of perfect singing and wows the listener with her gorgeous rendition. The drumming, flute playing and the noise of chutki infuse life in the song. The chorus is soft on ears whereas Dev Kohli skillfully writes boisterous lyrics as per the tempo of the song. An unidentified male singer delivers "Mahi Mahi" in the background but unfortunately fails to get noticed whilst a female vocalist (who has not been credited at all in the album) sings "Chala Pava De Mahi" and lets you enjoy and notice her soothing rendition. Finally Anand Raj Anand provide an electrifying-enjoyable composition to hear. Potentially a capable song will definitely make something bigger on the charts.
Rating: 8.5/10

(2) Sajna Se Milne Jana
Sunidhi Chauhan pockets another solo again. "Sajna Se Milne Jana" features an inaudible chorus in the background whilst the instruments' arrangement also follows the chorus and brings the song value down. Veteran Dev Kohli writes ordinary lyrics. Ditto for Anand Raj Anand who spoils the finale badly by his unattractive tunes. Only Sunidhi tries to safeguard the song. But the fact is a fact that only the singer cannot save the song from sinking. The visuals too do not leave any positive impression on you. Priyanka Chopra looks gorgeous whereas the choreography and the direction are just about average.
Rating: 2.5/10

(3) Dil Teri Deewangee Mein (Richa Sharma and Anand Raj Anand)
Next in the album, you are forced to hear a lifeless slow number "Dil Teri Deewangee Mein' sung by Richa Sharma and Anand Raj Anand. Both the vocalists struggle to do something positive with the vocals but the efforts go waste. The instruments' arrangement doesn't stick out either. Lyrics and music are ineffective as well. This is a terrible effort.
Rating: 1.5/10

(4) Hum Hain Mast Maula (Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik)
A "Masti" song (Sharabi song) "Hum Hain Mast Maula" features Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik. Unfortunately, both of these singers sound horrible. The dialogues, delivered by Bobby Deol and some unidentified male singer emerge amidst the song, attract a bit. Besides the team of Dev Kohli and Anand Raj Anand strike a heavy blow to the song with their efforts, which only worsen the song.
Rating: 1.5/10

(5) Mahi Mahi (Instrumental)
This instrumental vows to prove its mettle with the gorgeous arrangement of music.
Rating: 7.5/10

(6) Sajna Se Milne Jaana (Instrumental)
This instrumental doesn't try to improve its value and simply follows the original track's footsteps.
Rating: 2/10

(7) Dil Teri Deewangee Mein (Instrumental)
The instrumental version of "Dil Teri Deewangee Mein" goes unnoticed due to the vivid incompetence of the musician.
Rating: 1/10

(8) Bichi Pari Hai (Anand Raj Anand)
Anand Raj Anand makes his appearance with a solo "Bichi Pari Hai" next in the soundtrack and tests the patience of the listener with his avoidable vocals. The chorus in the background doesn't grow on you either. Ordinary lyrics too add their contribution to play havoc with the song and the rest is done by the mussed up composition by Anand Raj Anand himself.
Rating: 2/10

(9) Chitti Dudh Kudi (Shaan and Gayatri Iyer)
A duet "Chitti Dudh Kuri" by Shaan and Gayatri Iyer ends up the album. Shaan concentrates heavily on each of his assignments, which is why he sounds beautiful in his singing. His vocals are full of life, complimented well with the sweet and energetic rendition of Gayatri Iyer. Dev Kohli and Anand Raj Anand try to show their talents (which they hid from us throughout the album) positively and succeed to a larger extent. This boisterous number at least ends the album on a high.
Rating: 8/10

Overall:
Kismet is a horrific soundtrack that should be avoided by the listener. It's unlikely to leave any impression on the charts.
Overall Rating: 2.5/10
