Mere dil ki train is a catchy opener, thanks to Shaan’s lively singing! Julmi re julmi is from the 80s and should have stayed there. But Kaleja hai and Kaise milun, the other two retro-styled songs are actually welcome – earthy sound, with Bela Shende in superb form in both; particularly the latter, with its Chakravaham (Ahir Bhairav?) raga base, is lovely. Mere ghoongru too is a solid effort – fantastic prelude, orchestration and a harmonious tune! Of the two short tracks, Ye kothe ye ghoongru, with Shubha Joshi’s vocals stands out! Uttam Singh should get more work in Bollywood.
