Of the four songs by Raghav Sachar, Shreya Ghoshal’s Gumsum is the one that works best, playing on composer’s haunting melody. In comparison, despite the RD Burman’esque outlook, Loot merely meanders. Karma Queen is embarrassing, while Love is all I got is a corny, wannabe Hinglish ballad. But composers Sharib Toshi save the soundtrack with their two tracks – if you overlook the dated-Pritam sound of Yaadein, it is propped very well by Sharib’s vocals, while Satrangi Saathiya, with its unconventional rhythm and a catchy hook is immediately likeable. It’s perhaps unfortunate that Sharib Toshi only have two songs in Phhir.
