Every
year
sees
a
new
breed
of
film
makers
arriving
in
Bollywood
and
trying
to
make
their
mark.
Producer
Rohitashv
and
director
Sanjay
D.
Singh
are
two
such
film
makers
who
make
a
film
about
liquor
trade
with
Rajsthan
as
the
setting.
Rahul
Singh,
who
has
earlier
played
character
roles
in
films
like
Zubeidaa,
Bas
Itna
Sa
Khwab
Hai,
Yaadein,
Darna
Mana
Hai
and
Kyun
Ho
Gaya
Naa
arrives
in
a
lead
role
with
Kachchi
Sadak
which
is
also
written
by
him.
Parmita
Katkar,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Love
Ke
Chakkar
Mein
and
Husn
-
Love
And
Betrayal
is
the
female
lead,
Madhoo
makes
a
comeback
while
Late
Amrish
Puri
and
Mithun
Chakravorty
[in
a
special
appearance]
are
other
star
attractions.
Dr.
Prabha
Thakur
writes
the
lyrics
for
this
film
which
also
marks
the
return
of
composer
Uttam
Singh
who
is
not
seen
much
in
the
Bollywood
musical
scene.
There
are
little
expectations
from
the
music
of
a
film
like
Kachchi
Sadak
that
belongs
to
a
social/action/drama
genre
and
doesn't
boast
of
names
that
would
guarantee
of
an
exceptional
soundtrack.
The
final
result
is
as
expected
with
just
a
song
or
two
making
their
presence
felt.
Remember
'Mammaiya
Kero
Mama'
from
Arjun?
A
cry
of
rebellion
to
take
on
the
world,
Kachchi
Sadak
-
the
title
song,
also
takes
the
same
route
as
KK
brings
on
the
energy
for
this
song
that
has
been
given
raw
musical
arrangements
by
Uttam
Singh.
A
fast
paced
situational
number,
it
gathers
good
pace
towards
its
end.
Overall,
it
is
still
not
a
kind
of
track
that
one
may
want
to
play
on
at
home
or
on
drive
since
it
has
no
value
to
it
outside
the
situation.
Surprise
comes
in
the
form
of
'Ek
Tumse
Baat',
a
sweet-n-nice
romantic
number
that
can
be
described
in
one
word
as
'innocent'.
With
the
tune
being
reminiscent
of
a
nursery
rhyme,
'Ek
Tumse
Baat'
is
a
conversational
song
set
in
the
70s
mode
with
a
slow
pace
than
goes
perfectly
well
with
the
genre.
Shreya
Ghoshal
and
Udit
Narayan
must
have
indeed
sung
the
song
with
a
smile
on
their
face
since
that
reflects
in
their
pleasant
rendition.
Uttam
Singh
does
quite
well
to
keep
his
arrangements
at
the
minimum
for
this
soothing
song
that
actually
turns
out
to
be
quite
beautiful
and
can
be
given
an
easy
ear
for
a
few
times
at
the
least.
Sad
version
of
'Ek
Tumse
Baat'
is
for
the
situation
when
the
girl
has
realized
that
her
lover
is
not
with
her
anymore
and
it
seems
unlikely
that
he
would
be
coming
back.
Moving
at
an
even
slower
pace,
this
short
version
is
for
the
situation.
Since
'Ek
Tumse
Baat'
is
the
most
likeable
of
the
lot,
it
also
appears
in
an
'Instrumental'
version.
Much
hyped
Mithun's
guest
appearance
song
'Khwaja
Mere
Khwaja'
comes
next
that
begins
on
a
very
good
note
by
Adnan
Sami
due
to
its
lyrical
quality.
The
rhythm
that
follows
the
prelude
has
a
catchy
effect
that
follows
throughout
the
track.
Adnan
Sami
is
usual
good
in
this
high
energy
Sufi
devotional
track
which
would
be
liked
by
those
who
follow
music
belonging
to
this
genre.
In
the
film
it
should
create
a
good
impact
and
fit
in
well
for
a
high
voltage
situation.
Vinod
Rathod,
who
has
done
wonders
for
Sanjay
Dutt
yet
again
in
Lagey
Raho
Munnabhai
is
heard
once
again
in
Kachchi
Sadak
as
he
pairs
up
with
Udit
Narayan
for
'Hungama
Hungama'.
Pedestrian
is
the
way
to
describe
this
number
which
is
supposed
to
be
fun-n-frolic
but
doesn't
even
make
you
move
a
muscle
as
you
hear
it
on
in
the
music
system.
Old
fashioned
with
no
retention
value
whatsoever,
the
song
fails
to
create
any
hungama
as
the
two
singers
simply
go
through
the
motions.
Since
this
is
a
song
about
a
group
of
friends
having
fun
in
their
good
days,
a
sad
version
of
the
same
follows
too
which
is
for
a
situation
when
the
friends
are
forced
to
be
apart
due
to
destiny's
intervention.
Udit
Narayan
is
the
only
singer
for
this
extra
slow
shorter
version
that
is
composed
sans
any
musical
instrument
in
the
background.
Kachchi
Sadak
is
an
album
that
would
in
all
likelihood
pass
off
as
an
also
ran.
'Ek
Tumse
Baat'
is
decent
while
'Khwaja
Mere
Khwaja'
is
good
for
a
situation
but
these
two
songs
alone
won't
really
be
able
to
do
much
for
the
album.
With
not
much
promotion
of
the
film
to
boost,
this
score
by
Uttam
Singh
would
largely
go
unnoticed.
