The songs are about love, togetherness and separation and there is something for everyone.
I Hate Luv Storysgets you from the word go! It’s hard not to tap your feet, dance or sing along when you listen to it. Vishal Dadlani’s vocals are superbly energetic. This one is addictive (I heard it continuously for an hour) and the next big club song. Kumaar’s lyrics are contemporary and identifiable (from a guy’s point of view).
Bahara is a very 90s’ love song helmed by Shreya Ghoshal’s saccharine and melodious vocals and supported by Sona Mahapatra, adding a desi touch to the song. This one is for love-struck girls but it grows on you and sounds like something Pritam would compose. The ‘Chill’ version featuring Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s soothing vocals is equally good.
Next up is the uber-cool Jab Mila Tu, some might call it a hip version of Tum Mile.This one is helmed by Vishal again, proving his versatility. It’s an extremely hummable and breezy track that captures (thanks to lyricist Anvita Dutt of Khuda Jaane fame) the feelings of how some people’s presence, love and friendship jazzes up your life and you fall for them.
Sadka kiya is very pleasant and romantic, about the guy realizing that he is in love. The song has Sufi-rock elements and brings together Suraj Jaggan and Mahalaxmi Iyer, a wonderful combination. Sweet, though it might take a while to grow on you.
Bin Tere has two more versions: Reprise and Remix. The line: Koi khallish hai hawaon mein bin tere, will get stuck in your head. It’s reminiscent of a Shankar-Ehsaan Loy composition such as Aaj Kal Zindagi from Wake Up Sid! AndKaisi Hai Ye Ruth from Dil Chahta Hai. Shafqat Amanat Ali’s smooth and soothing vocals add a magical touch to it and he is complemented by Sunidhi Chauhan. The Reprise version is pulled off expertly by Shekhar Ravjiani and the remix is quite nice too (it is not an insult to the song). You’ll want to listen to them more than once.
