1): Apni Dum Bhi Oonchi Ho (Kunal Ganjawala, Earl, Anushka Manchanda, Salim Merchant and Jugal Hansraj)The soundtrack kicks start with a hip-hop number. Sung mainly by Kunal Ganjawala, the track also features the voices of Earl, Anushka Manchanda, Salim Merchant and Jugal Hansraj. All the vocalists impress your ears. Since the song is high on energy and filled with utter entertainment quotient, it makes you dance with its beats. The lyrics are fantastic. The composition is superb to enjoy with.
Rating: 8/10
2): Chhoo Le Na (Sunidhi Chauhan, KK and Sudesh Bhonsle)Next to come on the album is ‘Chhoo Le Na’ rendered sensuously by Sunidhi Chauhan. She is joined by KK and Sudesh Bhonsle. Both inject pleasures in ears. The number ha a Latino flavour, which you like to listen time and again.
Rating: 8/10
3): Cool Cool (Naresh Kamath, Marianne D. Cruz, Saif Ali Khan and Javed Jaffery)Naresh Kamath and Marianne D. Cruz join hands together to sing this track. Both raise the spirits. Saif Ali Khan and Javed Jaffery come too to croon few lines and they are loved to be heard. The lyrics and composition gel well with the mood of the number.
Rating: 7.5/10
4): So Right (Kunal Ganjawala and Gayatri Iyer)This one is slow and romantic number to get pleasures from..! Crooned splendidly by Kunal and Gayatri, the song is a treat lyrics wise as well. The music is spongy. Go and press repeat button.
Rating: 8/10
5): Rooftop Romance (Instrumental)The album features an instrumental also titled, ‘Rooftop Romance’. The fusion of guitar, piano and violin attract. But in total, the song does not register any impact.
Rating: 3/10
6): Main Hoon Romeo (Kunal Ganjawala)Kunal renders ‘Main Hoon Romeo’ with much conviction. It’s a fun loving number.
Rating: 7/10
7): Main Hoon Romeo (Roadside Remix By John Stewart and Salim Merchant)
The remix is just about okay.
Rating: 2/10
8): Chhoo Le Na (Moonlight Club Mix By DJ Suketu)
The remix has sparks to hear.
Rating: 7/10
Conclusion:
‘Roadside Romeo’ is a spongy album to hear. Go for it.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
