This "typical" Jatin-Lalit album starts out with a "typical" Jatin-Lalit song… "Kuch Tumhare Hain" with Jatin-Lalit’s favorite singers, Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. The song is very catchy, though it sounds similar to J-L’s latest Silsila Hai Pyar Ka and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

The next song is plain bad, "Tere Gaalon Ki Laali" is terrible. Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik sound good, and it sounds a bit like "Mehndhi Laga Ke Rakhna".

The title song is sung by Kumar Sanu. Its an average, typical Jatin-Lalit number. Sanu is a little bit over-nasal but sounds above average. In the past year, Sanu has been singing J-L songs as though he was in tiptop shape and with other music directors his singing has varied from excellent (in the case of Kareeb and Sooryavansham) to abosolutely horrible (in the case of Aa Ab Laut Chale).

The next song, "Nazar Milte Hi" starts off really well and then turns into another humdrum beat. The starting gets some points, well. Similar to Silsila Hai Pyar Ka’s starting, Alka Yagnik does a splendid job. The rest of the song, sung by Alka and Vinod Rathod is just average, well.

Ever heard of RIP OFF? Well, J-L is at it again. Ripping of the latest pop hit, "Yaad Piya Ke Aane Lagi", sung by Falguni Pathak. The music is a little bit more appealing than the original version because of better beats… it sounds like it has a sort of "Jhankar" in the background. And not only that, but the song is given twice in the movie, simlilar to the title song.

I don’t know why Asha Bhosle agreed to sing "Apni To Life Main Style". The song is Horrible! I wish Jatin-Lalit could have given Asha something more decent to sing.

Abhijeet’s return to Jatin-Lalit’s music is welcome, though it comes in a song that isn’t close to Abhijeet’s best with J-L from the movies Fareb and Yes Boss, not to mention Khiladi’s "Waada Raha Sanam". But, the song isn’t half as bad as the previous few original J-L compositions.

The next song is so bad that I thought the men and/or women that sung the song (Sudesh Bhosle & chorus) would have enough sense to decline singing such a song "Chaand Sa Lalla" is just BAD. And, if this song is totally essential for the movie, at least exclude it from the album… because… well, if you really want to know what I mean, go get the audio cassette. Don’t look at the CD.

Overall, if you are in need of a little bit entertainment and you have some money to spend, go get this tape. Otherwise, don’t even think about it. Its probably Jatin-Lalit’s worst since Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, and even then there were a couple compositions by other music directors that made the tape worth buying.
