Prema prema is beautiful, but generic. We Don’t Care sounds good, but is so standard’ish that it is disappointing. Ninnu nannu‘s mellifluous orchestration holds the key even as the tune...

The title song is perfectly competent techno material – Ujjaini’s version scores a shade better than Kunal’s. Amitraj’s Meri aashaon ki is stunning, to say the least – a brilliantly-structured,...
