Sedate tunes in Challa and Ballo, with sweet accordion phrases in the latter, offer an interesting start to the album. Karachi valie and Maen bolia are conventionally rock’ish, however. Ode to Bandra, Tu avin Bandra is one for the Mumbaiyas, while the usually energetic Pagdi sambhal gets a somber twist with a roll call of many pagdi-bound men. Bilqis, with its powerful lyrics and the right mood is the pick of the album. The very personal Avengi ja nahin is lilting with absorbing arrangements but Return to unity is middling. Rabbi’s second outing is largely pensive, defying his spirited debut.
