Ta Ra Rum Pum (Singer: Shaan, Mahalaxshmi Iyer, Sneha Suresh, Shravan Suresh)
Rating: 6.5/10
This being the title track leaves its listeners to much disappointment as it has less to offer without visuals. Saif Ali Khan opens the track by introducing the characters involved in the track, referred as Ta, Ra, Ma and Pa. The song is extra peppy and has a very soft melody in its rhythm. Shaan and Mahalakshmi Iyer hold on to their vocals efficiently whereas kids Sneha Suresh and Shravan Suresh render their voices for the children in this particular track. The track will hold on only till the movie gets off the theatre.

Hey Shona (Singer: Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan)
Rating: 7/10
Hey Shona is the track which will make you fall in love, yet again. Hey Shona is similar to My Dil Goes Hmm but still it will manage to make a place in your heart. Shaan pitches in beautifully and suits the track lip sung by Saif in the movie. Sunidhi Chauhan has crossed all barriers to deliver a marvel of a performance yet again. The duo of Vishal-Shekhar and lyricist Javed Akhtar has given us a beautiful love track in Hey Shona.

Nachle Ve (Singer: Sonu Nigam, Sowmya Raoh)
Rating: 6.5/10
Nachle Ve is a north Indian dance number rendered by Sonu Nigam and Sowmya Raoh. The song is peppy and melodious, which is the theme of the soundtrack. It has the added dance elemen to it. The song lacks in variety and freshness but still manages to move a foot or two. Vishal and Shekhar could have given a breather through this track but on the whole it just manages to meet the standards.

Ta Ra Rum Pum (Sad Version) (Singer: Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 7.5/10
The sound of piano sets the rhythm for this track which gives a different era’s feel to this track. Shreya Ghoshal does a commendable job while singing this track. An inspirational track where everyone comes together to form a bond of togetherness and brings on the power to face the challenge. A good track on the whole with good lyrics to boast about.

Ab To Forever (Singer: Vishal Dadlani, Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 6.5/10
Vishal Dadlani renders his voice in the beginning of this track, from there on it is taken over by Shreya Ghoshal. The song is a typical Hindi film number where the boy is trying to impress his girlfriend. The song would look better with its visuals. Shreya Ghoshal keeps it simple and yet manages to impress one and all with this one.

Saaiyaan (Singer: Vishal Dadlani)
Rating: 6/10
Saaiyaan has got a sufiyana feel to it and the rendition given by Vishal Dadlani is something to account for the beauty of this number. Vishal grabs the mike this time and gives us a whole unique voice that is unheard in the Hindi cinema so far. A well written track, it may not be of the kind that comes with a chartbuster tag but has in it to go quite well along with the situation. The track will find its place in the movie but not on the chartbuster’s list.
