Since
Aao
Wish
Karein
gives
the
perception
of
a
romantic
entertainer;
one
does
expect
music
to
play
a
reasonably
important
role
in
the
film.
Also,
since
composers
Ankur
Tewari
and
Xulfi
had
come
up
with
a
couple
of
tracks
worth
humming
in
Ek
Chalis
Ki
Last
Local,
one
expects
a
certain
quality
from
their
soundtrack
of
Aao
Wish
Karein.
MUSIC
Beginning
of
Aao
Wish
Karein
is
surprising
though
with
'Sabse
Peeche
Hum
Khade'
kick
starting
the
proceedings.
This
is
the
same
song
that
Mohit
Chauhan
had
sung
and
had
featured
in
the
film
Let's
Enjoy.
This
time
around
it
is
Kunal
Ganjawala
who
comes
behind
the
mike
for
this
melodious
track
that
has
an
old
world
charm
to
it.
Since
the
song
has
been
heard
over
all
these
years,
there
is
an
instant
recall
value
and
it
doesn't
take
much
time
to
hum
this
Ankur
Tewari
written
and
composed
number
all
over
again.
Later,
Kunal
Ganjawala
comes
up
with
a
much
slower
'reprise
version'.
Sunidhi
Chauhan
brings
on
the
spunk
with
a
livelier
version
titled
'Sabse
Peeche
Kyon
Khade'.
Lyrics
are
different
this
time
around
and
are
told
from
the
female
protagonist's
point
of
view
where
she
gets
into
a
conversational
mode
with
the
guy.
Xulfi
begins
'Reh
Jaane
Do'
with
the
trademark
sound
of
guitar
strings.
A
soft
sounding
pop
track
that
has
a
sad
connotation
to
it,
'Reh
Jaane
Do'
moves
at
a
very
slow
pace
with
focus
on
lyrics
and
rendition
rather
than
any
beats
that
could
have
otherwise
diluted
the
overall
impact.
The
song
may
not
be
the
pick
of
the
current
season
since
it's
not
the
kind
that
could
be
sung
around
the
streets.
However,
hear
it
in
the
context
of
the
film's
narrative
and
it
could
make
for
a
good
background
score.
Also,
after
a
promising
beginning,
its
'antara'
doesn't
quite
manage
to
hold
one's
attention.
In
the
similar
mode
comes
'Tum
Mere
Ho'
which
is
a
romantic
duet
by
Kunal
Ganjawala
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan.
By
now,
the
mood
of
the
album
is
pretty
much
established
as
each
of
the
songs
so
far
has
followed
the
same
theme
without
getting
into
any
tangents.
The
focus
is
not
on
creating
a
chartbuster
song
that
would
rock
the
dance
floors
or
be
played
on
highways.
Instead,
emphasis
is
on
coming
up
with
the
kind
of
soundtrack
that
goes
well
with
the
soft
and
simple
mood
of
the
film,
an
atmosphere
that
composers
Ankur
Tewari
and
Mikey
Mccleary
manage
to
create
in
'Tum
Mere
Ho'.
Xulfi
comes
up
with
the
best
track
of
the
album
in
the
form
of
'Kuch
Aisa'
(which
comes
in
both
the
upbeat
and
'sad
version').
If
there
is
a
song
that
deserves
to
be
heavily
promoted
as
of
this
very
moment,
it
is
'Kuch
Aisa'.
Unfortunately,
since
there
is
a
very
small
window
between
the
music
and
the
film
release,
it
seems
like
quite
a
difficult
task
for
this
romantic
melodious
number
to
reach
out
to
its
target
audience
in
a
big
way.
It's
the
kind
of
song
that
most
film
makers
would
have
loved
to
incorporate
in
their
films
as
Xulfi
has
done
quite
well
in
playing
the
triple
role
of
singer,
composer
and
lyricist
(with
Danish
Khan).
The
last
song
of
the
album,
'Sab
Yahaan
Hain',
though
doesn't
quite
lead
to
similar
sentiments.
Set
as
a
celebration
song
in
a
50's
mode,
this
Kunal
Ganjawala
sung
track
aims
at
getting
into
a
carnival
mode.
However,
it's
playing
time
would
be
relegated
to
the
screen
time
that
it
gets
on
the
big
screen
since
it
is
a
hardcore
situational
song.
A
number
about
the
wish
coming
true
for
the
lead
protagonist
in
the
film
(played
by
Aftab
Shivdasani),
'Sab
Yahaan
Hain'
is
written
and
composed
by
Ankur
Tewari
with
Mikey
Mccleary
joining
in.
OVERALL
As
stated
earlier,
it
is
apparent
that
the
makers
of
Aao
Wish
Karein
didn't
quite
have
a
chartbuster
musical
in
mind
when
they
came
together
to
make
music
for
the
film.
This
is
why
the
mood
of
the
album
remains
situational
for
most
part
of
it.
Though
none
of
the
songs
are
bad
per
se,
there
isn't
a
hit
quality
to
them
either
that
would
make
the
album
sell
like
hot
cakes.
Hear
it
for
some
soulful
moments
in
'Kuch
Aisa'
and
'Sabse
Peeche
Hum
Khade'.
