Salman'v voice comes as so young, so naughty, tantalizing. It sets the mood for the cassette. I wonder why people are discounting this one. > > Tu Meri Dost Hai - This is a classic in this album. Benny Dayal and > Shreya have sung it passionately. Interludes are awesome. Actually, I feel that this song goes a tad slower and heavier than the other songs of the album. Benny's voice varies between louder/ slower (in mukhda) and shriller/ faster (in stanza). May be that is an effect. Still, after the Salman's catchy, naughty voice at the intro, Benny's heavier voice sounds a tad out of place. > > Shano Shano - I think this was Ghai's doing, and ARR had to provide > something 'supposedly' pep club song thrown in. May be it is > situational, let's hope. Why so? Hasn't ARR given several pep club songs in his non-Ghai movie. I don't find anything wrong in Shano, except that the stereo effect is used cheaply at places that pinches to ears. > > Tu Muskura - This is the 'theme' of Yuvvraaj, appearing in Manmohini > and Dil Ka Rishta as well.

It is indeed the most catchy song of the album, and then Shano. > > Zindagi - Srinivas reminds me of his other songs sung for ARR before. > The tune is very melodius and has an 'old song' feel to it.

Nice to see Srinivas back with another good song. > > Dil Ka Rishta - Awesome orchestration, beautiful interludes, I am on > repeat. > > Manmohini Morey - Classical vocal on rhythms, I fell in love with this > at first hearing and Vijay Prakash excels in his rendition. > Unfortunately just when you think things are getting interested, the > song fades away to end. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. The song's only weakness is that it is too short. It just whets the appetite and doesn't give you a full feed. Hope ARR would release a longer version and release it on net. :-) > I thought like the song could have been > fullblown but chopped off for some reason.

With this years so many releases, and all going great, ARR has silenced his detractors and established himself as the undisputed emperor of bollywood. -- Rawat
