EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Mann Ka Radio (Singer: Himesh Reshammiya)
Rating: 6/10
The album unfastens with Mann Ka Radio, a calm track. Himesh’s unique rendition and classic composition are the main grip of the song. Pleasing song with soft touch to it, decent song to start with.
The song also appears in a remix version with some extra beats and sure to hit the dance floors.
Zindagi Jaise Ek Radio (Singer: Himesh Reshammiya)
Rating: 5/10
Next in line is a foot thumping number Zindagi Jaise Ek Radio. Lyrics are mundane, singing ordinary as Himesh croons full throated. The only highlight of the track is its Punjabi beats that set the mood in.
Zindagi also comes in remix version, apart from the original number.
Jaaneman (Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 7/10
Jaaneman is a soft, soothing and one of the finest romantic numbers in the recent past. Passionate lyrics by Subrat Sinha and tender singing by Shreya Ghoshal and Himesh Reshammiya emphasize the song. The track strike’s the soft corner of the heart and ends on a high note.
Piya Jaise Ladoo Motichur Wale (Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Rekha Bharadwaj)
Rating: 7/10
Piya Jaise is a semi classical track with a difference. A soft romantic number with some elegant singing by Rekha Bharadwaj and diverse composition by Himesh Reshammiya. An out an out winner and probably the best track of the album.
The remix version of the song will soon rule the chart’s and set the dance floors on fire.
Koi Na Koi Chahe (Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 6/10
Koi Na Koi Chahe is yet another amorous track. Affectionate lyrics by Subrat Sinha, the song is full of emotions.
Teri Meri Dosti Ka Asmaan (Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 6/10
Teri Meri Dosti is a light-hearted track. Decent music by Himesh Reshammiya and cheerful lyrics by Subrat Sinha wins the heart.
Damadji Angana Hai Padhare (Singers: Kailash Kher, Himesh Reshammiya)
Rating: 6/10
Kailash Kher does a cameo with the track Damadji Angana Hai Padhare. The song has folk touch to it and Kailash Kher gives the number a flawless start. With this track one can judge Himesh’s capability and versatility of composing music from pop-rock to classical-folk.
Shaam Ho Chali Hai (Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Shreya Ghoshal)
Rating: 6/10
Next in line is slow, supple track Shaam Ho Chali Hai. A song with a sad feel really touches the heart. Highly appreciative quality singing by Himesh Reshammiya and Shreya Ghoshal, and impressive lyrics by Subrat Sinha.
Rafa Dafa Kiya Nahi Nahin Jaaye (Singer: Himesh Reshammiya)
Rating: 5/10
The album concludes with slow, encouraging number Rafa Dafa Kiya Nahi Nahin Jaaye. Heartening lyrics by Subrat Sinha, light singing by Himesh Reshammiya and a pleasing track to end with.
