Gun gun, despite lively vocals by Parwati Kumari and Ambarish Das, is largely run-of-the-mill intro to Rajasthan. Behka behka is an interesting, racy, techno reimagination of Mr.India’s iconic number, sung...

Sonu Nigam composes and sings the title song – lovely tune steeped in the Punjabi milieu with incredibly high pitch vocals needed for the tune. The rest of the soundtrack...

Adede tholiprema is wonderfully ebullient, with appropriately enthusiastic vocals by Rahul Nambiar and Priya Hemesh, and Sri adorning it with imaginative guitar. Andala haseena, despite its outdated tune, bscores with...
