Cheeni Kum (Singer: Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 7/10
Cheeni Kum is not the regular rock based soundtrack. It boasts of a unique blend of fun and romance. Sameer and Illaiyaraja set the things going with the title track ‘Cheeni Kum’ rendered by Shreya Ghoshal. Shreya Ghoshal’s voice is the most impressive note of the track with the soft rhythm adding to the flavour of the song. The song is well written and musically distinct.
Sooni Sooni (Singer: Vijay Prakash)
Rating:5.5/10
Sooni Sooni is a sad song rendered by Vijay Prakash. The music of the track is orthodox and reminds you of musical set ups that were used in the late 80s. The words are added by Manoj Tapadia and the song comes across as an average listening.
Baatein Hawa With (Singer: Shreya Ghoshal, Amitabh Bachchan)
Rating: 7.5/10
Baatein Hawa comes in two versions With and Without. The former version has Manoj Tapadia’s dialogues spoken by Amitabh Bachchan. Shreya Ghoshal delivers the song with utmost innocence and this adds to the charismatic melody of this track. Sameer’s lyrics gel with the generic feel of the song and adds to the tunes composed by Illaiyaraja. The song is melodious and gets better than the title track.
Baatein Hawa Without (Singer: Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 7.5/10
The only difference this track carries is that there are no dialogues delivered by Amitabh Bachchan in this track.
Jaane Do Na (Singer: Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 6/10
The song defines a situation in the film where Tabu persuades her lover Amitabh Bachchan to let her go. The musical rendition is bound to go well with the video of the track which will frame an image in the minds of its viewers. Shreya Ghoshal, comes up with another playful and fun track which is highly clear in terms of vocal delivery.
Theme Melody (Instrumental)
Rating: 6.5/10
Music Composer Illaiyaraja comes up with an instrumental and shows his impressive talent in infusing various sounds through his piano. The track comes across as a slow and peaceful feat.
Melody (Saxophone)
Rating: 5/10
If Theme Melody was peaceful then Melody (Saxophone) carries a mischievous appeal to it and illustrates the pace in the rhythm of saxophone. This can be passed off as an average instrumental with conventional musical arrangements.
Radiosargam Soundtrack Rating: 6.5/10
