Of the two songs by Mithoon, the title song works smoothly given it mixes racy guitars with his trademark melody, sung darn well by Arijit. His other, Tere liye, is...

Despite borrowing its hook from a phrase in A R Rahman’s Rhythm number, Kaatre en vaasal, Dikka dikka dum dum is high on energy and fun! Shreya Ghoshal lends her...
