The lyrical job is not behind also because a number of lyricists are there to write the poetic lines for this album. The soundtrack has been released by none other than the bigwig T-Series. The expectations are very high. Let’s see whether it fulfills the listeners’ expectations or not…

1): Tha Kar Ke (Neeraj Shridhar, Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie)

The album opens with a dance number sung by Neeraj Shridhar, who plays his cards brilliantly and impresses you in plenty. Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie provide an ample support to Neeraj. The newcomer composer Ashish Pandit does a fantastic job at the musical instruments. His composition really sends chill through your bodies and you like to go to dance floors.

Rating: 8/10


2): Tha Kar Ke (Neeraj Shridhar, Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie) – Remix Version

The remix version also entices you from tip to toe.

Rating: 7.5/10

3): Vacancy (Neeraj Shridhar, Benny, Suhail and Suzi Q)

‘Vacancy’ appears spongy in every sense of the word. The punch word ‘Golmaal’ glides well on your ears. Pritam’s composition is sugary to listen to. The lyrics are great. Neeraj Shridhar croons this one with saccharine voice also with support of other singers – Benny, Suhail and Suzi Q, who make the song a racy track to let you enjoy with. Go for it.

Rating: 8/10

4): Vacancy (Neeraj Shridhar, Benny, Suhail and Suzi Q) – Kilogram Remix

The remix is a treat to hear.

Rating: 7.5/10

5): Tu Saala (Anushka Manchanda)

Laced with western arrangements, ‘Tu Saala’ boost with beguiling pleasures. Anushka is classy in singing. The lyrics fit aptly to the mood of the number. The composition is superb, which provides you an utter joy-ride.

Rating: 7/10

6): Tu Saala (Anushka Manchanda) – Remix Version

The remix version is just passable with nothing extraordinary to rave about.

Rating: 3/10

7): Meow (Monali and Suzi Q)

Monali looted the hearts with her seductive voice in the song, ‘Touch Me Touch Me’ from the film, ‘Race’. Now she is all set to rob you in full with ‘Meow’. She yes does steal you from head to toe. Suzi Q gives her good support. Lyrics by Sameer and Neeraj Shridhar, Ashish Pandit and Indie have been penned with conviction. This Hinglish track has sensuous feel attached to it. The pretty good composition by Pritam is alluring all the way. A real chartbuster material.

Rating: 8.5/10

8): Meow (Monali and Suzi Q) – English Version

Yes, it has potential to let you stay with…

Rating: 8/10

9): Meow (Monali and Suzi Q) – Remix version
