Of the two songs by Mithoon, the title song works smoothly given it mixes racy guitars with his trademark melody, sung darn well by Arijit. His other, Tere liye, is mind-numbingly maudlin. Amaal’s Hua hain aaj is an odd throwback to Nadeem-Shravan’s music, while Gazab ka hain is middlingly breezy, propped by Arijit’s vocals. Falak Shabir sings Amaal’s last, Kya tujhe, an ambient pathos number that’s passable. Epic Bhangra-composed Humne pee rakhi is pale Honey Singh imitation. Nikhil-Vinay’s 2001 Tum bin gets a half-hearted recreation, while Shaan’s lively rendition lifts Jeet Ganguli’s playfully retro-styled Chhote chhote. Usual mixed-bag T-series material.
