| Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is tasting success again with My Name Is Khan and all the songs have been appreciated, especially `Tere Naina`. Chirantan Bhatt, who made his debut in Mission Istanbul, makes a solid impression in Shaapit with the melodious `Ajnabi Hawaayein Bekrara Bahein`. Monty Sharma is also doing good work and produces a few good songs in Right Yaa Wrong. Last week`s release; Prince from Tips Films came as a surprise. Music by Sachin Gupta is a complete disappointment. The composer who is behind the super-hit album `Doorie` has missed a golden opportunity. Most songs are `fast-forward` types and some of them are unbearable! Atif Aslam, who sings exclusively for Tips, will not benefit much from this soundtrack! Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge by Pritam is very unusual to his `hit-formula` music and remains situational, with `Dohe` as the nicest track. Shamir Tandon`s Click is passable with `Rubayee More Raatoin Ke` and `Aameen Suma Aameen Suma` as the main picks. Prem Kaa Game is another wasted opportunity for Raju Singh, who delivers a half-baked product and composes silly songs, while using talented singers like Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. Avoid! Aakhari Decision, which has music by Baapi-Tutul and Hanif Sheikh is a mixed bag, with `Maula Mere Maula Mere` and `Yeh Asmaan Yeh Zameen` as the interesting songs. |

 |
| Karle Mujhse Pyaar |
Singers: Pritam, Rana, Soham |
Best time to listen: Anytime |
|
| Film: Toh Baat Pakki! |
| How can Pritam leave the chart? The `hit-machine` still has some edge in the chart, with the average `Karle Mujhse Pyaar` keeping his usual hit style and here he sings for his fans! A nice song, `honestly` composed and rendered! |

 |
| Aameen Suma Aameen |
Singers: Master Saleem, Shamir Tandon |
Best time to listen: Anytime |
|

| Shamir Tandon continues to show progress with each of his releases. From Acid Factory to the recent Click, there is a gradual improvement in his compositions. `Aameen Suma Aameen` is one of the best songs of the soundtrack! |

Lyrics: Irfan Siddique, Asif Ali Beg, Ajinkya Iyer |

|
| Salim-Sulaiman is back with a vengeance and there is no doubt that all the songs will click. `Neeyat Kharab Hain` is a cabaret song, very much like Anu Malik`s `Dil Ho Hazar Bar` in Murder. |

 |
| Tere Naina |
Singers: Shafqat Amanat Ali |
Best time to listen: Anytime |
|
| Film: My Name Is Khan |
PB Music Rating: 8.0 out of 10 |
Public Rating (by 403 listeners): 5.22 |
|
| Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy |
Lyrics: Niranjan Iyengar |
Audio On: Sony Music |
|
| `Tere Naina` is the only song from MNIK, which can have a longer lifespan, compared to the rest of the quality songs from the soundtrack. The song has the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy stamp all over it and is wonderfully sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali. |

|
| # 2 |
| Meri Aashaon Ki |
Singers: Amitraj |
Best time to listen: Late night |
|
| Film: Right Yaa Wrong |
| Monty Sharma bounces back in 2010 and comes up with an excellent tune in the action flick `Right Yaa Wrong`. `Meri Aashaon Ki` relies on a chilled-out background score and has a superlative performance from Amitraj. |
|
|
|
.... And the No.1 Recommended Song of this Week is:
| # 1 |
|
| Ajnabi Hawaayein Bekrara Bahein |
Singers: Shreya Ghoshal |
Best time to listen: Late night |
|
| Film: Shaapit |
| Once again, Shreya Ghoshal proves in an inimitable manner that she is leading the league of female playback singers in Bollywood. The song is a gem, with a strong composition from Chirantan Bhatt and touching lyrics from Sameer. Yes, it appears that melody is slowly making a comeback. This song is strongly recommended!!! |
