All right music fans get ready for some series overdoses! It’s not foreign for T-Series to stick with one singing duo for their tunes, but at least have one different singer, or at least having three singers on a soundtrack has at times become a standard for something with some variety, especially for film soundtracks. When using only two, yes only two, singers, something we haven’t seen in a while, music directors should at least make sure they can come up with some good tunes to prevent the monotonous vocals that may produce, and that Nikhil-Vinay do not exactly do. Previously a soundtrack like Kasoor featured only three singers in six songs. Comparatively, Kasoor is miles ahead of T-Series next production Kuch Dil Ne Kaha because of one thing: variety. Kuch Dil Ne Kaha is no Tum Bin because it seems like all the songs are just one big song amounting to an opening of Meri Neend Churale and a slow closer to guess what, Meri Neend Churale. It’s not all bad but with variety could have made it better.

Sounding much like Mohabbatein´s tunes, the soundtrack falters in familiarity and scores in scores in Udit Narayan´s singing, which enable the song to hit the right notes. The situation of familiarity is not unusual for T-Series or Nikhil-Vinay and that´s probably because it has been working for them lately, and chances are it might help them here again.

Meri Neend Churale, is a nice heartfelt, running around in the snow (which is actually how the song is pictured) song. Udit´s solo and Bakshi´s lyrics are normal for a love song. Udit is nice, nothing more, nothing less. The soundtrack opens up with it and closes with a sad version of it.

The drums open up the Punjabi number, "Mere Sone Rab De" another typical Jatin-Lalit song which N-V have adopted. The tune in which Udit and Anuradha are singing is not foreign as they have sung similarly many times before, especially in the eighties. Nothing new here, and at times, that being the case that can get annoying.

The number that strikes the right chords is the slow, touching "Main Tujhe Yaad Aoonga..." Forget that it sounds like much of Mohammed Rafi´s hits from films like Dil Tera Deewana etc., Nikhil -Vinay do add some life and difference into it. To top it off, Anuradha and Udit sound very good especially when they sing together at the final portions of the song. The late Anand Bakshi also pens a beautiful romance number where the hero and heroine are wiping off their tears. Definite one for the repeat button.

If you haven´t figured out yet, all of the songs are romantic tunes, some duets, some solos. Again, composing an all out romance soundtrack is not an unachievable task but it does require effort if the outcome is to be excellent.

Taking some of Anu Malik in "Mere Dil Pe Haath Rakh Do", the duo comes up with a winner though their influence has a high range! It seems that it is the shehnaai playing in the background, Anuradha sings normally and Udit sings just as well. Another running around the trees tune that does become catchy.

"Meri Nazar Ke" seems like a Shah Rukh number, it reminds you of many of his numbers in Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge etc. ´Nazar Ke Samne´ was also a popular phrase used in tunes though Anand Bakshi deserves points for his lyrics here. The typical musical base, which overuses the dholak, turns out just regular and the repetition of the verse reminds us of "Thodasa Pagala" from Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. Definite one that is a safe skip.

"Sanu Tere Naal" can´t even amount to "Daroo Virch Pyaar" a much better Punjabi song, the 1-2-2-1 beats and the English words opening the tune are unbeneficial in making the song work. The beat turns out like a semi-rap tune and Udit doesn´t sound good rapping. Can the saxophone save it? Nope! Another one for the fast-forward.

More of the dholak dominates "Mein Tere Khwabon Mein" with Udit singing well. Overall another regular use of regularly used instruments and jhankar patterns, and even more regular lyrics from Bakshi, which are simply adorning a woman. In essence, if it weren´t for Udit, the song would have been just okay, but is a decent listen.

As if the other tunes weren´t reminiscent of Mohabbatein enough, "Neend Aati Hai" takes you straight back to "Ankhen Khuli" thanks to the tune, the chorus singers and the music itself. Bad to rip off from a tune that wasn´t that much too much to begin with! Come one guys, you weren´t expecting a tune from such a big film to be ripped off so easily, were you??

An instrumental of Meri Neend Churale ends it all off.

I do not doubt that Kuch Dil Ne Kaha is probably deserving of better praises because of the pleasantness of most of the songs. But Nikhil-Vinay did a much better job with the variety in tunes like Koi Fariyad, Chotti Chotti Raatein, Tumhare Siva etc., from Tum Bin, and for that matter should have done the same in this T-Series romance.
