After the hit score of "Jab We Met", director Imtiaz Ali teams up with Pritam once again for the music of Saif Ali Khan's debut production "Love Aaj Kal". Pritam has left no stone unturned in creating soulful melodies. The film that stars Saif and Deepika Padukone has seven original songs and three remixes in the soundtrack.
The first track 'Aahun Aahun', which has an electrifying start with the strumming of the guitar, is a mixture of the familiar tunes of Jazzy B and Pritam's composition. Sung by Neeraj Shridhar, Saleem, and Suzanne, the song keeps on going between the two genres and is very entertaining. It sets the mood by mixing both Indian and western influences. 'Aahun Aahun' will surely be a hit. The number also has a remixed version, which will become a favorite on the dance floor.
Up next is a beautiful performance of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice. 'Aaj Din Chadeyya' starts with a small alaap. A romantic song that is extremely soothing to the ears, this track strikes a chord with the listeners. The song has a feel-good factor.
With brilliant vocals by Sunidhi Chauhan and Neeraj Sridhar, the next song 'Chor Bazari' starts with foot-tapping, peppy music. The lyrics are not the highlight of the song, but the number has the potential to impress music lovers. This also has a remixed version, which is moderately average.
The man of all seasons, K.K. makes his presence felt with the fast-paced song 'Main Kya Hoon', which is enhanced by electronic and psychedelic beats. It's return to modern times with this solo track that has a happy feel to it with a definite Pritam touch.
With the next song 'Thoda Thoda Pyar', the Punjabi flavor takes superiority. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, it has a folk touch to it in places. But it might not go on to become a chartbuster.
Neeraj Sridhar returns with 'Twist', which is a dance number that is high on beats. The remixed version, however, is better than the original.
Finally we have Mohit Chauhan chanting the song 'Ye Dooriyan'. Mohit's vocals are the highlight in this melodious romantic number that has as much chances of being popular as his past hit numbers. A song that has a small hint of sadness to it, the number is a must for the two hearts that could perhaps be on the verge of separation but may well be coming together again.
On the whole, Pritam has done a good job with the soundtrack and created songs that are sure to become hits. It is not every day that each and every song turns out to be extremely good in an album but that's indeed the case with "Love Aaj Kal". This one is going to be unstoppable once it hits stores!
