As long as you don’t have great expectations, music composer Himesh Reshammiya doesn’t let you down. In fact sometimes he seems to strike the right notes in this album.
The icing on the album is undoubtedly O Sajan, a cute mushy number. Gonna Fall In Love is predictable but eminently hummable. And the title track, Taarzan, dil.. has its moments.
Himesh seems to be in form after Tere Naam and considering the songs are at best chart-busting stuff, looks like he’s on the right track. Very limited shelf-life but total paisa-vasool.

Normally you’d expect Viju Shah to dish out better stuff. Imagine a song where the lyrics go like MainAsambhav Ko Sambhav Banata Hoon! Please, whatever happened to imagination? Anuradha Sriram’s Mashruqa Rubi is just another screechy, oomphy item number meant as a situational song and doesn’t pretend to be otherwise.
Udit Narayan and Kavita Subramanium’s Teri Dekh Dekh probably also the signature tune of the film falls flat.If you’re hoping that Shah’s music will be foot-stomping stuff like Mohra, then Asambhav is a let down.
