Mere Yaar (Singers: Anand Raaj Anand, Sunidhi Chauhan) Rating: 6/10
Anand Raaj Anand composes the first track of the album ‘Mere Yaar’. The song is an out and out item number, picturized on Aarti Chabaria and the members of the gang. The composition maintains a racy mood due to its fast rhythm. Musically, ‘Mere Yaar’ is a blend of Rajasthani and Punjabi folk. The lyrics have been penned by Dev Kohli and define the crazy atmosphere of the track. Anand Raaj Anand and Sunidhi Chauhan’s voices keep you entertained till the very end of the track.

Aakhri Alvida (Singer: Strings) Rating: 6.5/10
Firstly, it does not excite me to see that a band like Strings ripping off the music from another band. Yes, Aakhri Alvida’s tune is a plagiarized version of different songs from the band Coldplay. The Hindi version opens with the copied tune of their song Clocks. The lyrics are brilliant and the words seek for truth in the gloomy and harsh reality of life. Inshort, they add a lot of meaning to the track. The song will appeal to amateurish audience who has not heard the Coldplay band. Click Here To Listen.
Ganpat (Singer: Mika, Anchal) Rating: 5.5/10
‘Ganpat’ interprets the tapori style of the characters. The song is composed, written and sung by Mika Singh with Anchal as his co-singer. The song makes one remember ‘Kallu Mama’ from Satya. Overall, the song will go on well with the masses. There is a remix version of the track too which is as interesting as the original one. This one will be liked by the public transport owners around India. Click Here To Listen.
Unke Nashe Mein (Singers: Sukhwinder Singh, Mika, Anand Raaj Anand) Rating: 4.5/10
Sukhwinder Singh, Mika and Anand Raaj Anand team up for ‘Unke Nashe Mein’, which is nothing more than a very average item number. Sanjay Gupta pens the lyrics for this track and Anand Raaj Anand lend music to this track. The ‘Club Mix’ of this track fails to impress too. Click Here To Listen.
Live By The Gun (Singer: Biddu) Rating: 4/10
The idea of introducing an English track in a commercial mainstream Bollywood film is interesting but the results are not outstanding. ‘Live By The Gun’ is a complete English track composed and sung by Biddu. The track relates to the theme of the film but fails to linger in the ears for long. Click Here To Listen.
Sone De Maa (Singer: Dr. Palash Sen) Rating: 6/10
After ’Strings’ there is yet another band ‘Euphoria’ which render the soulful ‘Sone De Maa’. Dr. Palash Sen renders his voice for this track and lends a melodious tune to the receptive lyrics. The song moves at a slow pace and lacks the finesse of a superhit track. Click Here To Listen.
