HAMARA DIL AAPKE PAAS HAI
Tips, Rs. 55

Composer duo Sanjeev-Darshan’s third musical score isn’t much to crow about, with only one song worth listening to. The compositions have that heard-before feeling, and sound very boring. The title song is the best of the lot, with a lilting tune, and has caught on due to heavy airplay. Tumko dekha to is drab and doesn’t even register, Shukriya shukriya is equally listless. Main teri hoon doesn’t even have a tune and Alka Yagnik screeches to glory here. On the flipside you have a family song, It’s my family, the kind heard in umpteen family-oriented films before. Gham hai kyoon, Kya maine aaj suna and I love you are all terrible-sounding compositions, totally off-key. Javed Akhtar’s lyrics aren’t his usual good ones. This album can surely be given a miss.

DIL NE PHIR YAAD KIYA
Sony Music, Rs. 55

Aadesh Srivastava comes up with another likeable score here after Kunwara, proving that he has a know-how of what goes into making a composition appealing. Take for instance the title song, which though is borrowed from a yesteryear number, has its own charm. Soothing and catchy, it is well-sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. Sare sheher mein is feel-good, lilting number, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Udit Narayan. Since Lata is rarely heard singing new songs, this one is a treat, though the ‘Nightingale’ sounds a bit shaky here. Side B has the bhangra number Aaj nachna based on Daler Mehndi’s Bolo ta ra ra. Ye mausam has been wrongly credited to Udit Narayan, when it has been actually sung by Kumar Sanu, alongwith Alka Yagnik. The concluding number, Dupatta sambhal ke, is a peppy one, with good beats, and Vinod Rathod sings it with gusto. An okay score which has its moments.

KAALI TOPI LAAL RUMAAL
India Music, Rs. 35
An album of six songs written by Maya Govind, Rani Malik and Nawab Arzoo, which have been set to music by Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen. The audio opens with a romantic duet Badan mein jaadoo chaal mein shokhi written by Rani Malik and sung by Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy. It is fast-paced and marked by lilting instrumentation. This song is followed by yet another catchy duet written by Nawab Arzoo, Jab se tere mere yaara nain mile hain, which has been rendered by Udit Narayan and Sadhana Sargam. Bahar baras raha hai, the opening track on the flipside, will be another piece that will find favour with the listeners. It has been sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik. The remaining songs in the audio are Hey jaane jaana rendered by Abhijeet and Poornima, Deewana mastana hoon rendered by Abhijeet and chorus, and Tere mere pyaar ka, written by Rani Malik and sung by Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy.

AAJ KA NAHNHA FARISHTA
India Music, Rs. 35
Of the five songs here, four are racy and foot-tapping. Undoubtedly, they will go down well with kids and youngsters, and might appeal to adult listeners also. The racy pieces are Balle balle ho jayegi (written by Sikandar Bharti, tuned by Babla Shah and sung by Latasha), Main mawali hoon (written by Prayag Raj, set to music by Bappi Lahiri and rendered by Bappi Lahiri himself along with Kavita Krishnamurthy), Ye Duniya Gol Hai (written by Anwar Sagar, tuned by Rajesh Roshan and sung by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee) and Chhota bachcha hoon lekin (written by Sikandar Bharti, composed by Babla Shah and rendered by Sonu Nigam). The remaining track Wada karke jaate ho, written by Sikandar Bharti, tuned by Bappi Lahiri and sung by Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik and Pratap Barot, has a slight tinge of pathos, but nonetheless it is appealing.
