One of the prominent things I remember about the earlier album featuring Ustad and Chitra was the beautiful video by Pradeep Sarkar. The new Leja leja video fits right into the current scenario of videos with adequate skin show. Musically, Sandesh triumphs again, with Shreya’s Leja, Chitra’s Haiye re & Rangeelo rut and Sunidhi’s More piya and Hainiya being top picks. It’s a pity that the newly formed music label’s (YBR) head honchos treated this as yet another commercial album, with a video that doesn’t respect the spirit of the earlier album’s concept or a veteran like Ustad Sultan Khan.
