Maston ka jhund is a situational number that buoys you with its get-up-and-go energy. The instrumentation is kept minimal and Bashir’s haunting voice takes the lead and does full justice to the Sufi lyrics. Pakistani Sufi singer Javed Bashir, who made a name for himself in the MTV Coke studio, is the apt choice for Mera yaar. The youngster has proven to be a chip of the old block and his vibrant voice is helped by a rock infused orchestration to provide us with a pulsating anthem. The next track, Zinda, which runs in the background of the film’s promos and has gained popularity, marks the playback debut of Shankar Mahadevan’s son, Siddharth Mahadevan. The soulful number is over too soon and one wishes the devotional track had more length. The album starts with Gurbani sung with a heartfelt fervour by Daler Mehndi. The good news is that they have connected well with Mehra’s musical’s sensibilities and have given us a score that stands true to the film’s subject and is pleasing to the ears at the same time. While Prasoon has stayed on, Rahman has been replaced by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
AR Rahman and Prasoon Joshi were his able henchmen in those two ventures. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has given us some stupendous soundtracks in the past in form of Rang De Basanti and Delhi-6.
