The opening track, “Jeene Ke Ishaare” is the best musical piece of work in the album. Shankar Mahadevan catches the rhythm superbly and seems in his true elements.

A rhythmically soften love song, it has the potential to be rated as one of this year’s musical masterpieces.

Audio: T-Series
Number of Songs: 08

The title song, “Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha” opens the album. A touchy number, it stars a new voice Sujata Trivedi along with Kamaal Khan. Sujata does not leave any point for which she could be called a new-inexperienced singer instead she catches the rhythm flawlessly and sings it in an amazingly well handled style. Kamaal Khan makes his entry late in the song but nabs the breath with his exceptional singing style. The arrangement of instruments appeals but piano and drumbeats become the real highlight amongst others. Mehboob’s thought-provoking lyrics register good impact and A R Rehman’s fabulous composition makes the song a feel good journey for the listeners. A slow moving song, which focuses more on vocals than the music. The promos are also on air currently eying on Salman Khan, Preity Zinta and Bhoomika. This is absolutely a melodious effort to start the album.

No. 5: KISNA
Music by: AR Rahman and Ismail Darbar
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: Udit Narayan, Madhushree, Alka Yagnik, Sukhwinder Singh, Ayesha Darbar, S.Shailja, Ismail Darbar, Hariharan, Kailash Kher, Rakesh Pandit, Ustaad Rashid Khan, Mohammad Salaamat, Sunitha Sarathy

When AR Rahman and Subhash Ghai teamed up to bring the world TAAL, it was an album that shook up indian music and cinema at its roots. With a true mix of indian classical, modernized and fusion elements, the album changed the scene of what is known as indian music forever. It can also be said that with the immortalization of the Taal album, AR Rahman himself became immortal in the hearts of indian music listeners. It is as such impossible to describe the expectations that have been placed on Ghai and Rahman's follow-up KISNA. While Rahman's increasing popularity overseas have not allowed him to complete the full soundtrack, Ghai has roped in Ismail Darbar, another powerful music director, to give the both of them the composers edge. With Javed Akhtar writing the poetry of this eagerly awaited film, does the album meet these overwhelming expectations?
