Song	Rating
Duaa
Khudaaya
Morcha
Imported Kamariya
Bharat Mata Ki Jai

1.Duaa…
Singers : Nandini Srikar,Arijit Singh,Shekhar Ravjian

Easily the best of the lot ! The song has typical Vishal-Shekhar mood & Shekhar sings it exceedingly well ! More emphasis is given on vocals than instruments ! Pure,breezy music & nothing else !!

2.Bharat Mata Ki Jai…
Singers : Keerti Sagathia,Vishal Dadlani,Arun Ingle,R N Iyer,Mandar Apte,Chintamani Sohoni,Bhupesh,Dibakar Banerjee

This song is already ruling the roost thanks to promos ! A rustic masala number which is completely male dominated ! Emraan Hashmi is expected to unleash in the visuals ! The song has high usage of “Dhol” & is really catchy ! A perfect dance number !

3.Morcha…
Singers : Raja Hasan,Vishal Dadlani

A protest number ! This song is tailor made for Sukhwinder Singh but Vishal & Raja do a neat job ! The traditional instruments which were used in “Piya Tu” number from Kahaani are also used here ! High energy singing !

4.Imported Kamariya…
Singers : Richa Sharma,Vishal Dadlani,Shekhar Ravjiani

Another item number from the persons who created the baap of item numbers “Shiela Ki Jawani” ! Highly satire filled lyrics ! Richa Sharma does a commendable job ! The song is about the assumptions of a foreigner about our country ! A perfect nach number !

5.Khudaaya…
Singers : Shekhar Ravjiani,Raja Hasan

This song is about change ! Shekhar is at his best again ! The composers add a sufi touch to it ! A slow,sufi fusion ! One longs for more of this song as the song is short !

6.Mantra Vishnu Sahasranamam…
Singers : Srivatsa Krishna

To end with,the album has Vishnu Sahasranamam rendered sincerely by Srivasta Krishna ! Has been treated with diligence !

Remixes :

The album consists of 2 remixes ! 1.Khudaaya (Remix) is almost like a fast paced,western song with added tempo & beats ! Gives a different feeling as if this is a different song ! Nice makeover ! 2.Bharat Mata Ki Jai (Remix) – Resembles the original ! Not much differene ! Nothing makes this unique from the original !

Album Analysis :

Vishal-Shekhar & Dibakar Banerjee have come up with an exceptional album ! Songs are purposefully made raw,rustic to suit the flavour of the movie ! Vishal Shekhar’s songs are sure to be lapped up by both critics & the masses ! They have provided a perfect blend between V-S type melodies & Dibakar’s sattires ! The songs are sure to be hot-cakes in radio channels ! Go get the CD’s !!

Picks Of The Album : Duaa, Imported Kamariya, Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Khudaaya

Album Verdict : That makes a Hat-Trick for V-S !! Must Buy !!
