with Nikhil and Monali Thakur's young and fresh voices bring all the pizzaz to this foot tapping number. Sprinkled with a heavy dose of English words, this song sets the tone for rest of the album. Good one.

Hairat...
Lyrics : Vishal Dadlani
Vocals: Lucky Ali

The introduction of Hairat mellows you down a little only to be surprised by the heavy sounds of the electronic guitar. And we welcome Lucky Ali after a short gap. This gifted singer never fails to grab attention. Only with his voice though! Vishal's rock-base music, in some places seems out of place but because of the fantastic Lucky Ali, the song wins who has you speechless with his silky voice. Going by the visuals of the trailer for this song, this one's surely a chartbuster. Easily the pick of the album.

Aas Pas Hai Khuda...
Lyrics : Neelesh
Vocals: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shruthi Pathak

Some singers are born gifted with talent. So much that they can sing without an ounce of effort. So does Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. His deep voice reaches your soul and with chorus and a soft rock setup, he effortlessly brings life to Aaj Pas hai Khuda. With lyrics that is spiritual and romantic touch to it, the songs gels with you. With Shruthi Pathak for company in the unplugged version, you experience a different dimension to the same version.

Tumse hi Tumse...
Lyrics : Caralisa Monteiro
Vocals: Shekhar Ravijani, Caralisa Monteiro

After a couple of brilliant melodies, we return to the soft beats and guitar strums of Tume hi tumse. Shekhar and Caralisa (who has penned the English lyrics too) give the song what it requires which otherwise resembles R&B's of the west. Worth a listen but certainly lacks the mood.

Tujhe Bhula Diya...
Lyrics : Vishal Dadlani, Kumaar
Vocals: Shekhar Ravijani, Shruthi Pathak, Mohit Chauhan

The first 90 seconds of the songs takes you into a completely different world. You feel and emote with Mohit whose soul-searching voice just mesmerizes you. A totally different experiment with the Qawali interludes may or may not be liked but Mohit just tugs at your heart with his magical rendition. The remix version does not give you the same feel as it moves into trance mode and bears no additional value. The original song is fantastic and rings in your ears for a long time.

I feel good...
Lyrics : Kausar Munir
Vocals: Vishal, Shilpa Rao

Slow beats and the voices of Vishal and Shilpa auger well for the first few seconds just to be blown away by the bass guitar like going down on a rollercoaster. A romantic number, this one lacks the pep and zing that their counterparts have. The music with the English lyrics is reminiscent to many pop albums that we have already heard.

The next song with the same pair and lyrics has a slightly softer feel to it and works better than the first.

Verdict:

Vishal - Shekhar have come up with another winner with Anjaana Anjaani. The songs have different hues to them and work brilliantly. One can feel that this is a complete album with varying emotions from the start to the end. The songs are peppy, zestful, mush and haunting. A few songs definitely can top the charts and have a definite replay value.
