Now
this
one
does
sound
like
a
promising
album.
First
and
foremost
names
like
Pritam
and
Irshad
Kamil
are
good
enough
to
result
in
a
quality
album.
Case
in
point
being
Love
Aaj
Kal
and
Jab
We
Met
where
the
composer-lyricist
'jodi'
has
already
succeeded
in
creating
magic.
Secondly,
the
film
is
a
romcom
in
the
offering
with
heart-throbs
like
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kaif
being
paired
opposite
each
other
for
the
first
time.
Thirdly,
the
film
is
a
TIPS
production
and
it
would
be
difficult
to
imagine
that
Ramesh
Taurani
would
settle
down
for
anything
substandard
for
his
own
music
label.
With
expectations
well
in
place,
one
plays
on
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani.
MUSIC
It's
a
rocking
kick
start
for
the
album
with
some
groovy
beats
followed
by
Hard
Kaur's
rendition
leading
to
a
superb
rhythmic
build
up
for
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
K.
K.
comes
on
scene
immediately
and
gets
the
pace
rolling
for
this
club
track
that
has
chartbuster
written
all
over
it.
This
is
a
kind
of
number
that
Pritam
has
specialized
in
over
the
years.
No
wonder,
he
makes
use
of
his
hit
track
record
to
create
yet
another
number
that
straight
away
makes
an
impression
in
the
very
first
listening.
What
impresses
most
in
the
song
is
the
way
he
uses
Sunidhi
Chauhan
in
the
song
as
each
and
every
line
from
her
brings
in
that
spunk
and
edge
to
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
This
one
is
meant
for
the
big
screen
viewing.
There
are
two
more
versions
that
follow
for
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
While
one
definitely
looks
forward
to
the
'remix
version'
which
gets
on
a
faster
pace
and
makes
one
head
for
the
dance
floors,
what
surprises
is
the
track
'Follow
Me'
which
is
a
recreated
version
of
the
same
song.
This
one
is
a
solo
version
by
Hard
Kaur
and
gets
into
a
similar
seductive
mood
as
'Touch
Me
Touch
Me'
[Race].
Let's
have
a
music
video
rolling.
All
in
all,
just
the
kind
of
treat
that
one
was
looking
forward
to
from
the
album
as
one
looks
forward
to
what
Pritam
has
to
offer
in
songs
to
follow.
At
the
very
first
instance,
'Tu
Jaane
Na'
seems
to
be
embarking
on
a
sudden
start.
However,
a
minute
into
the
song,
Atif
Aslam
takes
over
the
proceedings
and
comes
up
with
a
heartfelt
rendition
for
this
love
track.
With
a
'sufi'
element
to
it,
what
strikes
most
about
'Tu
Jaane
Na'
is
a
certain
purity
that
makes
it
yet
another
quality
number
that
Imtiaz
Ali
would
have
loved
to
have
in
his
next
film.
Moving
at
a
smooth
pace,
'Tu
Jaane
Na'
boasts
of
good
lyrics
and
one
wonders
why
the
promos
of
the
song
have
not
yet
been
released?
Since
the
number
takes
its
own
time
in
settling
down,
the
makers
have
made
a
smart
choice
in
placing
it
as
many
as
four
times
with
different
singers
coming
on
board.
After
Atif
Aslam,
the
song
appears
in
a
'reprise
version'
with
Soham,
Rana
Mazumdar
and
Ashish
Pandit
coming
together.
In
fact
this
one
turns
out
to
be
slightly
more
'filmy'
version
in
the
way
Soham
goes
about
rendering
the
song.
A
'remix
version'
may
have
sounded
unnecessary
on
paper
due
to
the
theme
and
pace
of
the
song.
However,
credit
to
DJ
Suketu
who
gives
a
different
dimension
to
'Tu
Jaane
Na'
and
makes
it
sound
as
if
this
one
could
well
have
been
an
original
version.
A
good
remix
creation.
Finally
arrives
an
'unplugged
version'
and
as
Kailash
Kher,
Paresh
and
Naresh
go
about
their
act,
one
is
convinced
that
'Tu
Jaane
Na'
is
pretty
much
the
other
highlight
number
in
the
album
after
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
This
is
a
kind
of
song
that
can
be
heard
on
a
repeat
mode
without
being
bored.
With
first
two
tracks
making
such
an
impression,
one
goes
on
to
have
good
expectations
from
the
songs
to
follow.
The
quintessential
'shehnai'
tune
that
is
heard
in
marriages
finds
a
remix
going
for
it,
courtesy
Pritam
who
spins
a
track
titled
'Oh
By
God'.
It's
this
'shehnai'
which
is
an
integral
part
for
this
song
that
is
fun
and
youthful
with
Mika
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan
coming
together.
Yet
another
high
energy
dance
in
the
album,
it's
the
kind
of
track
that
could
boast
of
an
enhanced
appeal
if
supported
by
some
vibrant
dance
moves.
Melody
returns
to
the
album
soon
after
with
Atif
Aslam
coming
together
with
Alisha
Chenoy
for
'Tera
Hone
Laga
Hoon'.
Written
by
guest
lyricist
Ashish
Pandit
(who
does
spin
a
nice
romantic
tale),
this
one
is
a
love
song
that
takes
one
straight
to
the
hills
and
the
trees.
A
kind
of
love
song
that
has
time
and
again
worked,
'Tera
Hone
Laha
Hoon'
has
both
the
singers
coming
together
with
some
heartfelt
rendition
that
makes
it
a
kind
of
hear
that
is
quite
comfortable
on
ears.
Thankfully,
the
'remix
version'
doesn't
go
overboard
either
and
keeps
the
spirit
of
melody
intact.
'Prem
Ki
Naiyya'
follows
next
but
doesn't
quite
stand
in
the
same
league
as
most
of
its
predecessors.
In
a
lesser
album
one
wouldn't
have
quite
minded
this
rhythmic
dance
number
that
has
a
rooted
Indian
feel
to
it.
Still,
in
spite
of
the
presence
of
Neeraj
Sridhar
and
Suzanne
D'Mello,
the
number
just
stays
on
to
be
a
decent
hear
and
that's
about
it,
even
as
a
'remix
version'
follows
for
this
track
too.
The
album
sees
a
good
ending
for
itself
with
'Aa
Jao
Meri
Tamanna'
that
makes
an
instant
impression,
just
like
was
the
case
in
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
However,
the
genre
of
both
the
tracks
is
totally
different
here.
While
'Main
Tera.
.'
is
a
dance
track,
'Aa
Jao..
'
is
a
love
song
which
has
melody
as
it's
pace.
This
one
again
has
a
distinct
Pritam
feel
to
it,
whether
in
terms
of
rendition,
pace
or
arrangements.
What
also
makes
the
song
a
certain
high
is
the
manner
in
which
Javed
Ali
goes
about
his
rendition.
He
does
quite
well
and
one
can
easily
sense
that
he
has
his
heart
pretty
much
set
for
this
song.
Jojo
gives
him
good
company
for
this
song
that
also
appears
in
a
well
deserved
'remix
version'.
OVERALL
This
is
Pritam's
year.
Period.
Delivering
chartbusters
by
dozens
all
through
the
year,
he
can
now
look
forward
to
another
bountiful
of
hit
songs
up
his
sleeves
with
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani.
Also,
Ranbir
and
Katrina
can
enjoy
a
hugely
popular
track
for
themselves
in
the
form
of
'Main
Tera
Dhadkan
Teri'.
Go,
pick
this
one
up
from
the
shelves!
