  •     Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
    Sajid- Wajid dish out some pretty run-of-the-mill songs in this album. Rashid Ali's opening number Keh Do Zara is a tepid romantic ballad. It is followed by Sonu Nigam – Sowmya Raoh's tiresome Bhangra-act Nacha Main, Shaan's swinging rock-n...
  •     Prince - It\'s Showtime

  •     Toh Baat Pakki
    Pritam's first musical outing in 2010 results in a fairly entertaining soundtrack. Mika Singh's Jis Din Mera Biyaah Hoegaa and Javed Ali-Shilpa Rao-Indee's Dil le Jaa are two chirpy Bhangra-beat-driven dance tracks. Pritam, Rana and Soham's teamw...
  •     Striker

  •     De Dana Dan

  •     Kurbaan

  •     Do Knot Disturb
    Composing romantic melodies comes naturally to them but dishing out comedy is certainly not Nadeem Shravan's cup of tea! The once-mighty composers come up with a slew of frothy, foot-tapping but eminently forgettable situational tracks like Zulfein ...
