No more nubile young things lip-syncing to Lata Mangeshkar. Thankfully, Saadgi is not a soundtrack and can be listened to, for simple and straight reasons as Lata’s vocals and some mellifluous tunes by Mayuresh Pai. The consistently moody album’s highlights include Mujhe khabar, Andhe khwaabon and Main kahan – with Javed Akhtar, Meraj Faizabadi and Chandrashekhar Sanekar respectively turning in appropriately deep lyrics. Other notable tracks include the mildly sunny Jo itne kareeb and Phir kahin door, distantly reminiscent of Hariharan’s Ab koi khwab. Saadgi is a pretty decent attempt by the young composer and resonates well with Lata’s experience.
