Ranjit Barot’s trademark sound, heard recently in Holiday, dominates the title track. The other Barot track, Dono jahaan has a distinct 80s pop sound a la Take That! In the Shaan-composed lot, the impressive ones include the spanish-sounding Badal gaya, the carribean-styled Chippe chippe and the mellow Shuruaat. Jhoom le annoys with its Britney’isque sound, while Pyaar ka safar continues the trend with its noisy orchestration. Koi to hoga invokes strains of Sunita’s Paree, but falls flat. The duet with MLTR, Take me… sounds equally pointless. The album fails to impress. Partly the Barot-effect. And the lack of better tunes.
