Anand-Milind had another opportunity to revive their sagging career but this album falls flat. The opening track, Humein tumse hai pyaar is so predictable that it it almost puts you off to sleep. Kabhi Ye Na poochna makes you wonder if the album was composed a decade back.
Sadly though, Shreya Ghoshal and Udit Narayan’s Hai sama pyar ka and Babul Supriyo’s Teri Palke can’t salvage the album. Hear it and forget it.

An album with mint-fresh notes that make you want to hit the rewind button more than once. Shaan’s right on target in Kal se koi, a romantic number that makes you remember what it was like to fall in love for the first time.
Sunidhi Chauhan’s (the most sought after singer for most item songs these days) powerful vocals fit the mood of Dupatta beimaan re (that might even remind you of Mumbai Matinee’s Loot gaye) is folksy with Latino-American beats. Move The Dupatta – The Mix is one of the better composed remixes (done by DJ Amit) and is foot-tapping, full of joie de vivre and a zingy pop number too. Le chale le chale, by KK and Mahalakshmi has the trademark Vishal-Shekhar stamp.
Simply unputdownable.
